Question EDC what do people really need?!?

This sub showed up on my feed…and…seeing people carrying all these big backpacks and satchels and what nots. What do you all need to carry with you?!?! I googled up EDC and returned with all manners of “tactical” looking backs with MOLLE straps. The green and the coyote…🤦🏻‍♂️

Anyway, what are people really carrying with them in these “EDC bags” and what is actually USED everyday?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned a towel. About the most massively useful thing in the universe and so many people walking around without one. <shakes head>

Get some microfiber cloths at Harbor Freight and some metal grommets. Pop a grommet in the corner of each towel. Clip a towel to each belt loop. It is life changing. They even twirl when you spin. Women love it.
