+ | {{w|Everyday carry}} (EDC) is a [https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/7/24/20696487/everyday-carry-reddit-knife-wallet-gun subculture on the Internet] of emergency preparedness, and is a group of things that should be "every day carried" by someone at all times. Such items should perhaps be considered as multi-function items with many varied and distinct uses, to save lugging about a whole set of more specialised items 'just in case', or at least largely complementary to other such items in the manner of a {{w|capsule wardrobe}}. | ||
− | + | Rather than carefully consider the relative advantages of various advertised EDCs, Cueball seems to have taken the advertising of all such every day carry items at individual face value and purchased ''all'' of the items he can, and furthermore is actually taking all of them with him. The result is that he has so many items that he now has to wear a heavily augmented backpack at all times, and furthermore needs to tow a large cart loaded with additional cases and a large sack to contain the bulk of his ever-present hundreds of knives and other tools, equipment, and gear. | |
− | + | In the title text, his hope is that, one day, he will be vindicated by encountering one particularly complex problem where a massive number of individual light-sources and cutting tools will be simultaneously needed – perhaps one in which hundreds of people need to be so equipped – and then at last he will be reasonably equipped to handle it! | |

:[Cueball is standing and straining backwards, dragging a large sack nearly the size as him, with noticeable bulges. It is placed on top of two long, flat boxes on top of a flat, four-wheeled trolley. Motion lines indicate the trolley is rolling towards Cueball and his hands are shaking. Cueball is also wearing a large backpack with multiple compartments. The backpack, boxes and sack are all labelled "EDC"] | :[Cueball is standing and straining backwards, dragging a large sack nearly the size as him, with noticeable bulges.
