i only carry a sling when i'm going somewhere i know i can sling. my pockets are pretty tight, and i my EDC while not so much, doesn't allow much more in my pockets. plus i'm more likely to use my EDC then to use a sling.
what does EDC mean here? acronymfinder says 'Every Day Carry', but that does not quite make sense with
that sentence.
i almost always carry an mason-line apache sling with the strings wrapped up in the pouch,
as well as a 24" mason-line rockman.
i sometimes also carry a couple of jute slings, currently a couple 24" and 28" balaeric type split-pouch slings.
EDC does mean every day carry, although it is actually somewhat of a hobby and actual activity. basically it's a philosophy that it's better to have something and not need it, then to not have it and need it. with that in mind, EDC'ers carry a lot of stuff they might need or not need, sometimes up to 10 pounds ranging from survival kits to medical packs to toiletries, because you never know right? anyways, i persoanlly prefer carrying essentials- knife (when legal), flash light, pen, phone, earbuds, wallet, keys, duct tape, and some cord.
take a look at this for more
http://edcforums.com/i fit all of it in my pockets, and it is perfect, but my slings don't are a bit large. i've tried it as a belt, but i don't like it.
