Why is Everyday Carry a Hobby?

Question

By definition, EDC, or everyday carry, is the stuff you carry in your day to day life. A watch, a phone, keys, maybe a pocket knife, pen, etc. Why is it a hobby? I get the preparedness and utility aspect. But what's the big deal?

What's so "hobby-worth" about it?

Answer 1

You can also use the word 'habit.' These are the things that you have been doing on a daily basis. At some point, you cannot leave your home without them. There is nothing wrong if you are doing these things in routines. This how you live and I considered the good habits of your life.

Answer 2

The reason why everyday carry is a hobby is because it is a routine. Routine is the everyday that you are doing or action.  There is nothing wrong with that.  It is the reminder that you are doing the right action everyday. 

Answer 3

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 and preparedness; to help individuals overcome simple everyday problems, and to prepare someone for unexpected and possibly dangerous situations.
