Everyday Carry. Are we doing it wrong?

via EDC Forums

Above you see two examples of everyday carry.  I'm not trying to judge the individual choices that these guys made, but want to look at it in a broader light.

Are we doing everyday carry right?  I contend that we're not.  If you look (and I'm still being general) you find a few items in common that MOST (not all...I'm not putting a number on it...yeah I'm being vague) people carry.

* Knife
* Pen
* Phone
* Laptop/Tablet
* First Aid Kit
* Flashlight
* Wallet
* Para cord Bracelet
* Watch
* Handgun
* Spare Magazine

And the list goes on.

I remember a time when guys would bitch about all the shit women carried in their purses and now it appears that guys are doing the same damn thing.

What the fuck happened?

Did we get feminized on the sleigh and we're simply doing a male version of a female thing?  Are we actually carrying what's needed?
