wildman800, cities are not so bad. However, when you do not frequent them, I can see discomfort when in one.

But leaving the EDC behind? Whatever for? I can see paring it down a bit for some places, but I still carry some things even when I get on a plane or wlak into a court.

Come up to NYC, spend a weekend, I'll have you feeling comfortable in no time. it would be a long shot, but maybe I can wrangle a ride for you on something running through Hellgate.
