Today's EDC

In all honesty , you could carry the maddest looking knife ever, its just a lottery if you ever get stopped. Police these days tend to like their heated seats, not seen one walking the beat in a long time.
Probably no beat officers left and they wonder why we have crime.
It’s a different topic & i don’t want to hijack this but i remember having authority everywhere.
In the park, on the bus,
Police came round regular
now nothing.
Kids have no one to look up to these days

You're right, but I'm CRB checked regularly and if I got caught carrying illegally it would bugger up my career.

Legal carry knives cover my day to day needs anyway.
 
Two quid for emergencies. I leave the knife carrying to the Gangsta's, there are enough of them carrying the legal machete size as it is.
I always carry a fiver for emergencies, it was was something instilled into me by my parents whenever I went out.
They would say put it in a different pocket, then you won't spend it and you can use the phone box if necessary to call home or get the bus.
I do the same thing to my grand kids now and did with my boys when they were small.
Just without the you can call home at a phone box speech because they would look at me with blank eyes.

A habit i have had since the 1980`s is to keep a small bag of mixed coins in the car. Used to be primarily for parking meters, but has always regularly come in handy for something or other.

Any change i find in my pocket goes into an old plastic bank coin bag in the side pocket of the drivers door.

Cash is definitely making a come back in my experience.
