r/EDC Moderator Applications Are Open + a reflection on three years as a mod here.

38 Upvotes

Hey everyone—we’re reopening moderator applications.

If you applied last time and never heard back, I’m sorry. The honest answer is that I only really connected with one applicant, and then the process stalled out. That was then. Please, 1000% reapply if you want to. Reddit's mod application system dumped out all applications.

Just remember that we’re trying to build a welcoming, even-handed team. If your comment history is full of cracks about Europeans, liberals, conservatives, gay people, or anyone else, or you made it sound like you would marry your rifle if legally permitted, you may not be the right fit. We need people who can moderate gun content without making guns, politics, or contempt for other groups their entire personality.

A little background for anyone curious:

I became a moderator three years ago. I had never moderated a subreddit before, but I loved r/EDC. During the API blackout, the previous team was removed and Reddit began asking for volunteers to take over. I was uncomfortable stepping into that situation (aka being a scab), but one of the people volunteering was the owner of an EDC commercial website, and I did *not* want the subreddit placed under someone with such a direct conflict of interest.

So, somewhat unexpectedly, I became a moderator.

The rest of that original replacement team has understandably moved on over time. I have learned a lot, tried to approach moderation with a customer-service mindset, and taken advantage of the automation tools Reddit has added. My goal has never been to radically remake r/EDC. I have mostly tried to make it a bit more welcoming, tighten up what the expectations already were, and so on.

That includes firearms. Guns have consistently been the community’s biggest dividing issue, and we will continue trying to walk a reasonable line. Firearm-related EDC is welcome; a photograph from your AR range day with no real connection to everyday carry is probably better suited to another subreddit. (cool gun though dawg)

Honestly, I would eventually like to ride off into the sunset or at least step back slightly. I have other projects I am working on these days. But I have put a lot of work into this community I love so much, and before that happens, I want to build a capable, balanced, and dependable moderation team that can take care of it.

My flavor of EDC isn’t about having a whole toolbox worth of stuff on my person every day. It’s not about being prepared for every conceivable eventuality. It’s about having just a couple of helpful items on me at all times. Light pockets and a creative mind.

Cotton bandana

Popov Leather Card Holder

Victorinox Super Tinker

Streamlight Microstream AAA

Car/House Keys

Bag/Pocket Dump Dog Walking Bag

Time for a periodic bag clean out, tired of sticking my hand into broken glass.

- Knife, pepper gel, a box cutter I forgot was in there
- Dog poop bags
- Old bag for collecting beer cans and Uncrustable wrappers dropped by idiots
- Cardboard from the center of dog poop bag rolls, empty pill foils, old receipts
- Lots of broken glass (I pick it up so dogs don’t step on it)
- Pill case, some probably new-ish pills in foils, and grungy old pills that escaped the pill case
- Hair band and clip
- Squeaker from dog toy to get her attention
- A couple of coins
- AirPods case with one AirPod in it
- A laminated “lucky feather” I found
- Extra carabiner for dog water bottle
- Old Chapstick melted to the side
- Aluminum foil for the back pocket
- Phone
- A single piece of shamrock confetti
- Not pictured because I can’t find it: keys with AirTag keychain, missing AirTag — they’ll turn up

The fanny pack is by Sojourner. It’s gotta be 7 or 8 years old at this point. Used daily for 5 years of dog walks and hikes. Still holding together! 👍🏻👍🏻

I have a huge 40L backpack that I carry to and from work every day. I didnt like how I was fitting my stationary stuff into the bag, so I found this little guy on Vinted for $6. Fits the notebooks and pens perfectly AND it fits perfectly back into my backpack so when I'm headed home I'm not the bags man.

Question/Advice/Discussion New Knife Recommendation

Post image
13 Upvotes

After about four good years, my beloved, green Leatherman Free K2 disappeared off into the land of lost socks and misplaced keys.

Loved the simplicity and form factor even if it was a bit clunky, but it is unfortunately discontinued. Anyone have similar EDC knives they could recommend?

Ideally a similar sized, non-serrated knife (~3”) with a screw driver (bonus points for flat and Philips). The $100-150 range is ideal but not a deal breaker. Something like the Victorinox Synergy Alox seems close?

My EDC consists of a
- Olight i3T EOS
- EM Keyholder
- Travelers Pencil
- TBD knife
- diodrio leather holder.
Plus a pair of JBL Tour Pro 2 ANC earbuds and a monogrammed Fossil wallet. (Not pictured)

I work in an art gallery so it’s all a good combo for breaking down packages, opening crates, inspecting art, and taking notes, and fixing minor things around the shop.

TL;DR need a new knife similar to the Leatherman K2! Thanks in advance!

Question/Advice/Discussion Wallet recommendations?

Upvotes

I got my wallet stolen last week, so now I'm looking for a replacement. I usually carry like 10ish cards, so I need something with a lot of capacity, and ideally something that fastens or zips shut so nothing falls out.

I don't really know where to start though. I tried searching myself and bought an Alpine Swiss Logan, but the zipper doesn't close smoothly and consistently manages to snag the insides, so I'll be returning it. Do any of you guys have recommendations?

Managed to get through the whole convention without any of my devices dying. I kept my bag pretty simple and only brought the things I knew I’d actually use:

iPhone
Wireless earbuds
A book
INIU P63

Honestly, this covered pretty much everything I needed for the day
