EDC, GHB, BOB, etc

[Highlander]

I my case my EDC is in a bag that is always close at hand whenever I am out of the house

Do you carry that same stuff with you on weekends when you're not working? If not, it isn't an EDC. I'd call it work gear or a work carry. MY definition of EDC is to the letter EVERY DAY carry. Not a weekday carry or weekend carry. I transfer my EDC items onto my person when I'm in work in my uniform, then it goes back to pockets when I'm back in my jeans and tshirt.

If I stopped you while you were out shopping, would you have that bag with you and all the same gear in it?

Very good question,.... in this case I would have to say I have a work carry bag WCB,.... because my bag is always in my van,... although that van is just outside my house [ within my drive]

.... but I then have the very same gear in my jacket if I am walking the dogs on the weekend,... so I guess I have a WCB and a HCJ [ home carry jacket]...

.... but it is something people need to think about, it would be no good haveing equipment at one point on a work day and not with you on a day off, not everything a person might have would suit both work and home,... so EDC items may need to be doubled up on so you have two lots
