What EDC influencers claim you need to have on you at all times:

- emergency knife
- fire starting equipment
- various wrenches and screwdrivers

@yosh I really wish I had a reason to start fires on a regular basis so I could justify carrying fire starting equipment.

I do regularly carry a tiny pocket knife with a 4cm blade that I use all the time. I used to carry a similarly sized screwdriver and I was genuinely surprised at how many things I came across in daily life that needed unscrewing or screwing.
