I am with you on that. I get that from a lot of people. I have my EDC, but I always carry other stuff just in case, and usually enough for whoever is with me. it took my wife a while to learn the need for it. My kids are pretty good about it too. Other, however, snicker and talk. But there have been several occasions where I have pulled out that extra jacket or poncho, pair of socks or gloves, bug repellant or sun screen and especially that bottle of water, and everyone was very happy that I had carried it. That doesn't mean that they learned and now carry their own, they just make sure I am along and they are near me when they need something.
