259: Scaling EDC in 2025

Talk Back to MeToo often, public conversations about EDC resort to shaming in order to produce a reaction. Instead, we are going to look at scaleability as a continuum that we can control. When it comes to every day carry, we think about self defense, first aid, and disaster response. These are the backbone of the subject, but not alone the answer. In light of recent events, we take a look at a few items and ways of carrying them that meet the adage of not "doing them the first time in combat" and fit them into what reasonably consists of our every-day life. Scaleability doesn't mean having a train of gear to work toward, but a few, small things that we can add with ease because they are practiced.
