EDC: WARRIOR

Traditionally, the idea of a warrior is someone who specializes in combat — like a trained soldier. And while combat readiness is most definitely still a part of the definition today, the modern concept has become a bit more complex. Nowadays, it’s just as much about knowing when not to fight, when a tactical retreat is more valuable to the larger circumstances. That mindset can also be helpful with selecting your everyday carry gear, as it helps give a sense of urgency to one of the main tenets of the concept. So long as your daily loadout keeps you prepared and ready for anything that comes your way, you can better weigh your options and, hopefully, make the soundest decision at any given moment. And that’s what this week’s pocket dump is about: equipping you with exceptional tools you can be confident in, fight or flight.
