not really; it's one of the advantages of living in the rural south. Most around here(my hometown) EDC some amount of useful gadgets. I was sort-of known as the go-to guy in highschool, even though i couldn't carry a knife(and contrary to popular belief, there WERE a few times when one would have been legitimately useful), and there an OMG WTF? moment once when a friend complained after lunch of a food bit stuck in his teeth and i pulled a Flosscard out of my wallet.
