Doozer,
Welcome! If you have the (un)common sense to be well prepared enough to have a complete EDC without much reading (other than the posts here) then you are very well ahead of the curve. OTOH, I have found that women tend to naturally carry more of the ten essentials than men (especially if they are moms) . Perhaps it is because women are culturally expected to carry some lugage with them while men are not. I would find my edc much enlarged if I could get away with carrying a purse without comment from my coworkers. As it is I get trouble just wearing a bulky key chain and leatherman. I work in a professional office environment.

Anyway - welcome and glad you're here
