Its Saturday, our vehicle exploded the other week, and we're just happy nobody was hurt. Brownie is indeed part of our everyday carry, hope this random post fits this community...

The sub is called EDC, which obviously stands for "Every Day Canine". This must be allowed.

I thought it was "excellent dogs count".

Dogs have been everyday carry for humans since at least ~14,000 years ago, so yeah I think dogs count more than most stuff people would comfortably consider an everyday carry item.

The beloved animals were living alongside humans in western Eurasia around 14,000 to 16,000 years ago—before humans developed agriculture—according to two studies published in the journal Nature on March 25. The findings push back the earliest genetic evidence of a domesticated canine by about 5,000 years and provide new insights about how dogs spread.

from wikipedia

Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry is a collection of useful items that are consistently carried on person every day. The main reasons for having EDC are utility (usefulness), self-sufficiency, and preparedness: to help individuals improve simple everyday problem solving, from the mundane (opening packages, minor repairs) to possible emergency situations such as first aid or self-defense.

i would say no, dogs don't count as edc but it's a fun post 👍
