No, seriously, It is a disease! And to think that I was almost normal before I met you guys...Have you noticed how they go from to when something happens and they need one of our knives/tools/flashlights/lighters/paracord/ducttape/MREs/band-aids/pills/water purifying tabs?

Well, not really. The last time I helped someone with a band aid his reaction was what the hell do you have this for?!?! He actually asked me this right as I was applying the said band aid to his cut.
I did try that. But they keep coming back...
So, the question is how do you decide what goes into your EDC? Is it strictly utility or do you have some stuff that more like pocket jewelry?Do you pick based on price?Do you carry only what you need, or carry some just in case stuff?Or any other criteria you use to choose?
