EDC Gear: An Awesome Army Green Look
Make your everyday carry fit your needs. Your EDC gear will vary just as much as there are no two people exactly alike in this world.
Take a look at your lifestyle, profession, your daily routine, budget and style, and put together your EDC setup accordingly.
At its simplest, your EDC should include what you need day to day, and leave out what you don’t.
Your main goal should be to make your EDC functional (and inconspicuous if you prefer gray man gear).
It should be comprised of rugged and reliable gear. From minimalist to extravagant, it should also be personal; a reflection of you.
When your gear becomes part of you, then you will be most comfortable with it.
The EDC Gear That Will Up Your Style Factor
5.11 Double Duty 1.5 Tactical Pen
This pen pulls double duty as a reliable writing instrument and a serious last resort self defense tool.
It has a bullet style shape to it that lends itself to that military feel.
Made from machined aluminum, this pen uses the Fisher space pen cartridge.
While some other tactical pens come with built in flashlights and other gadgets, this solid tool does just what it’s supposed to do and won’t let you down when you need it.
