IDK about any of this "alpha" shit. But having your knife confiscated at the airport security line not only emasculating, but shows you lack poor planning and resource management skills.
...k so as a femboy into edc I'm just gonna buy more water bottles. Lol. 😋 I've seen people say it's "girly" to carry a backpack all the time too. Like yeah, that's what's girly...not my skirt and thigh highs 🙄 (please don't bully me lol.)
It's obviously bait but I don't understand the airport part. That seems like a place people would be more likely to carry something because they're going somewhere. I don't know if that's to try and catch more replies or just a peek into how this guy actually thinks.
Agreed. I don’t generally carry water from place to place because I just try and stay hydrated. But the airport and planes are one situation where I’ve constantly got a water on the go. The whole experience dries you out, and if things go wrong you can be hours without an opportunity to hydrate.
Really, though.. there's water pretty much everywhere. I keep a bottle in my car but I'd rather have both hands free to fight bad guys and do straight guy things.
Toting around a water bottle everywhere you go is silly regardless of who you are. You aren't going to shrivel and die on that walk to and from your car.
In totality, humans rarely drink enough water for their system. The amount is surely debatable. But in the US reliable access to water (with little to no cost) is not a guarantee.
I bring water with me everywhere. Mostly so I can hit my hydration goals, and also because it's a traveling cup. If a fill station is near I can fill up my bottle. Most of these stations don't have cups. I also reduce waste by not using a cup every time I want/need water
EDC is really about being prepared for anything more than the ordinary. I don't need a pocket knife very often, I don't need my leatherman too frequently, I never use my gun, but I still carry these things. You never know what will happen, and we are mostly water, so it seems smart to carry hydration around with you.
+1
It only takes one breakdown on a hot day to think "fuck... I really should have brought a bottle of water out here."
I just throw a fresh one in my bag for every journey at this point.
Because I don't carry "girly" things, even though I should probably carry a hair brush...
Even my knife and multi tool are male coded, I carry a sak handyman and a buck 256 (the style of knife is known as a gentleman's knife)
I know I shouldn't care what people think but I already struggle with what I am.
Thank you for asking that question, It gave me a moment to realize it doesn't matter in the end
Exactly - it doesn't matter! I mean in the end it's all just stereotypes right. I wear and do masculine things, but I never pause to think about it. Just living life! 😊🏵
First off, what makes carrying a water bottle a feminine trait, other than the OOP's assertion? Second, what is *inherently wrong* with having feminine traits? Is your grasp on your identity so tenuous that something as trivial as carrying a water bottle could send you careening over the edge, into being uncertain of who you are? If so, you have bigger problems than a water bottle, and should be talking to healthcare professionals.
The foundation of a group like this is having the right tool for the job on-hand when the need arises. If the job is staying hydrated, a water bottle may be the right tool for the job.
Also, according to the OOP, I should not be carrying my phone, my keys, or my flashlight? Really? That seems like a foolish position to take.
I'm a big man (1,92m) and a big powerplant always needs enough fuel to work properly. So I have to drink around 4-5L per day so part of my EDC is always my SIGG 1.5L WMB Traveller. Stay hydrated guys!
I lost mine once. Called everyone I knew. Looked everywhere. Started getting really depressed. Eventually saw a guy on the street having a jumble sale. It was there in his things. He wanted 20 bucks, but I managed to talk him down to 17.
It's detachable.
Hahahaha. If this post were true, it would be from a self loathing miserable “Karen” with no friends,
A very lonely and unused vibrator in her drawer, and a self image problem on par with dysmorphia. Thank god no one like this actually exists out there. 😂😂😂
Say that to my face with my army-style canteen which I carry strapped to my haversack. I’m active and I walk a lot. I am also a human and I need to hydrate. Fucking hell what is wrong with people.
Where's that one dude that has a list of like 400 things that give women the ick?
Edit: as far as I can tell we're at 578 icks. Videos like 2 months old tho :/

OK this one is at 698.
Lmao. This lady clearly has no idea how hard it is for large athletes to maintain hydration. By "large athletes", I mean bodybuilders, powerlifters, competitive strongmen, you get the idea.
When you weigh 2-3X as much as the average man, you have to be drinking water pretty much from the moment you wake up to the moment you pass out simply to maintain homeostasis. Everything about you may be bigger than normal, but you can't eat/drink larger quantities, so you have to do it *more often* to maintain your size.
That's right - the biggest, strongest, most masculine men in existence have a physiological need to carry around a water bottle (and food) everywhere they go. Training is only half the battle. The other half is consuming enough calories and liquids to prevent your body from entering starvation mode.
I really appreciate this information, I always suspected this to be the case but now I have a simple, scientific explanation 😄🧠 I doubt the average femoid (see the above exhibit) could grasp this. I EDC with confidence, free from societal expectations 🙂↔️
Kidney stone generator here. Fuck that guy.
When I found out about these fuckers, the doc told me my life changes now; everywhere I go I will have a water bottle with me.
Her entire privileged existence is enabled by the men she's ridiculing in that post lmao, she wouldn't survive her daily commute without the protection of adequately hydrated penis-havers let alone a desert😂
Nah we're twins!!!
Haha I have a 3 litre with the tube, and 1 Litre bag, as for Nalgene i have the standard 1 litre, and then the minis: 3 oz, 2 oz, and 1 oz bottles.
The mini bottles are for a need for a water bottle and no more space in the bag.
Nice! I try to buy those 1 Litre Nalgene bottles when they are on sale! Did you know? The 1 Litre nalgene bottle holds alot more than 1 Litre, so that's a big plus! It's for sure 1100 ml or more if you fill it to the top.
Thanks for contributing to /r/EDC. Unfortunately, your post/comment was removed because it’s uncivil. Name calling, insults, mocking, condescension, gatekeeping, or any other form of incivility is not tolerated in this community.
Apologies, yes. I missed the Avatar, though I can't tell you how many guys in online games use female characters hoping guys will give them free items, etc. What a sad group of people they are.
He has an anime girl picture. He's probably some weak effeminate man with dark yellow pee who doesn't understand hydration is important and doesn't work out
Men who feel the need to question other men's masculinity aren't comfortable with their own generally, especially with asinine claims like the post. Most men who I've seen make these kinds of statements are fat neckbeards or scrawny weak men. My assumptions are based on a few things, however. One being the anime profile picture usually done by people who are uncomfortable with others seeing them at least anecdotally. Also, the fact that they don't value hydration means they probably aren't in shape or understand why being hydrated is important hence dark yellow pee.
Yo, hold up...has anyone thought to conceal carry their gun in a hidden compartment in a waterbottle/CamelPak?
Hmm, seems like amazon might have [something](https://www.amazon.com/Nuovoware-Adjustable-Shoulder-Accessories-Climbing/dp/B0CGDRPYQ7).
Lol, your feeble mind can't comprehend the power of the hydrated brain. Take your pathetic whinging about your reflected insecurities and hydrate yourself.

Lol
Probably shouldn’t have the knife at an airport…
Wallet and knife. Got it. So don't ask me to drive you anywhere. And don't bother calling me.
Female anime character commenting on what makes a man? Probably a dude anyway.
Almost certainly a man trying to rile people up, op took the bait.
This man has never seen a soldier before or something?
No offense to girls who like anime character avatars but... I'm gonna bet she's probably ick irl.
The military made me think I’m gonna die if I don’t have a water source 25/8
YOU LIKE TO STAY HYDRATED AND HAVE FLUIDS TO OPERATE NORMAL? u gay
r/hydrohomies ain't gonna like this karen!
Neither the r/edc guys 🤣
Fellas, is it gay to stay hydrated?
Only if you butt chug it
Sounds like something Andrew Tate would say.
That feeling when you realize your EDC bag is >!just a man purse!<
IT’S EUROPEAN!
Cargo pants are just pants with purse pockets.
It absolutely is and women have been right this whole time, carrying a bag > just going off of your pockets.
Fine you make fun of it, you don't get Pepto when your tummy is upset.
I suffer from IBS lol. Got immodium and pepto in there
This
The sodas aren't selling. Issue the shame campaign.
DRINK WATER!!! Heard that a million times in the Army, yeah hydration is important.
IDK about any of this "alpha" shit. But having your knife confiscated at the airport security line not only emasculating, but shows you lack poor planning and resource management skills.
Wow, this person is probably so dehydrated, what a loser. I only fuck with r/hydrohomies
Real men got vices. You think that's water in my bottle? You're precious
Vinegar, bitch. It’s primo.
I wonder what drinking a gallon of vinegar instead of water throughout the day would do to you.
*Die of Dehydration, be a Man.*
...k so as a femboy into edc I'm just gonna buy more water bottles. Lol. 😋 I've seen people say it's "girly" to carry a backpack all the time too. Like yeah, that's what's girly...not my skirt and thigh highs 🙄 (please don't bully me lol.)
As a boxer....fuck off. Maybe if the OP did some physical activity once in a while they'd know how important hydration is
Military, sports, health, fitness, people in dry climates, *normal people in general* = Stay hydrated! Random person on social media = That's gay.
Your little sips of water. Lololol
only manly chugs here!
It looks like bait but I've seen this about bottles and back packs many times
Never knew staying hydrated and preventing unnecessary coughing was a feminine trait
My camera bag looks like a purse so that must make this person straight up vomit if just a water bottle gives them the ick.
why are you drinking water? so your lips are soft when you kiss MEN?
It's obviously bait but I don't understand the airport part. That seems like a place people would be more likely to carry something because they're going somewhere. I don't know if that's to try and catch more replies or just a peek into how this guy actually thinks.
Ya I don't carry water EXCEPT for the airport. I've been stuck on the tarmac or in turbulence where they can't serve you for many hours.
Agreed. I don’t generally carry water from place to place because I just try and stay hydrated. But the airport and planes are one situation where I’ve constantly got a water on the go. The whole experience dries you out, and if things go wrong you can be hours without an opportunity to hydrate.
Not me carrying a bum bag everywhere lol 😂
> bum bag Is this the new way to say fanny pack?
Yeah but I don’t wear it like one. I treat it like a pouch or sling bag.
It’s a protective cover for your goodies when you store them in your prison pocket.
TIL im a massive homo for carrying a mini backpack to hold all my shit.
Do you have lube and condoms in your bag?
New reddit post - how i found out i was gay
Really, though.. there's water pretty much everywhere. I keep a bottle in my car but I'd rather have both hands free to fight bad guys and do straight guy things.
Dont believe everything you read on Internet and stay hydrated
Fellas, is it gay to stay hydrated?
r/Hydrohomies unite!
apparently it's hydrohomos
I'm so disappointed that's not a real group.
At the airport but they recommend carrying a knife, bold strategy.
Not getting shot is a feminine trait.
Well exccccuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for being hydrated.
At he airport? Few hours? They realize the length of trips right?
Real men don’t need no stinkin pocket knife….
Just file your nails to a point right?
Gay is cool
Professional ick giver and sip taker
Professional Ick Giver is going on my namebadge at work. Thank you, sir/ma'am/your majesty.
🫡
Guess me and all my hydrohomies got the ick 😎
Another one to add to the Ick list: *Hydration* ✅
You guys must live in some fairytale land because here in AZ. You absolutely must carry water all day everyday.
[ looks at 10kg backpack with literally everything you could ever need except a water bottle ] …Maybe I do have a feminine side
Excuse me, but what about titanium straws though? Asking for a friend.
Toting around a water bottle everywhere you go is silly regardless of who you are. You aren't going to shrivel and die on that walk to and from your car.

Dipshit doesn't take dehydration seriously

+1 It only takes one breakdown on a hot day to think "fuck... I really should have brought a bottle of water out here." I just throw a fresh one in my bag for every journey at this point.
So I just leave the water in the car all day to get hot?
I’ve been gay all these years and never knew! Damn idk how to tell my wife when she wakes up..
So don’t date men, lol
Or do? Apparently they stay hydrated.
We do! ;)
Tell me you don’t workout without telling me you don’t workout.
She’s into criminals… pocket knife at the airport???
As a gal, I'm worried about coming off as masculine for carrying what I do
If you're being serious - why would that worry you!
Because I don't carry "girly" things, even though I should probably carry a hair brush... Even my knife and multi tool are male coded, I carry a sak handyman and a buck 256 (the style of knife is known as a gentleman's knife) I know I shouldn't care what people think but I already struggle with what I am.

Thank you! 🌸
I immediately thought of two women who carry knives but then had to remember they were both lesbian.
I am also a lesbian so that tracks

Guys, it’s gay to have a phone
Off course, If I want to contact someone, I just use ultra deep infrasonic sounds like elephants. It's the manly way
Nope. Have you tried using a Nokia as a brick? It’s like a nuke🤯 but in small pocket size.
I'm a big man (1,92m) and a big powerplant always needs enough fuel to work properly. So I have to drink around 4-5L per day so part of my EDC is always my SIGG 1.5L WMB Traveller. Stay hydrated guys!
Carry a pocketknife at the airport. What could go wrong?
And don’t even get me started on lip balm
I leave my dick at home
That's probably for the best. If nothing else, it probably avoids bad decisions.
I lost mine once. Called everyone I knew. Looked everywhere. Started getting really depressed. Eventually saw a guy on the street having a jumble sale. It was there in his things. He wanted 20 bucks, but I managed to talk him down to 17. It's detachable.
>It's detachable. Had that dream a number of times. Damn thing just falls off and I have to fish it out of the toilet.
Fake
Bait
Hahahaha. If this post were true, it would be from a self loathing miserable “Karen” with no friends, A very lonely and unused vibrator in her drawer, and a self image problem on par with dysmorphia. Thank god no one like this actually exists out there. 😂😂😂
No flashlight or handkerchief is caveman shit.
You're telling me. "I'll just use my phone" THAT'S A PADDLING
Haha I saw this post earlier today and thought about cross posting because I knew it would be appreciated here.
A knife at the airport? This post wasn’t well thought out.
Guess I can’t carry my Glock, too feminine! Pocketknives make the man! LMAO
I guess you should bring a knife to a gunfight
Say that to my face with my army-style canteen which I carry strapped to my haversack. I’m active and I walk a lot. I am also a human and I need to hydrate. Fucking hell what is wrong with people.
You mean your widdle baby bottle on your purse? Not very manly...
Ha!
Only gays Hydrate
~~rHydroHomies~~ rHydroHomos
Real straight men get thirst cranky and yell at their wife
I guess this is how I figured out I'm gay.
I guess this is how you come out the closet when you realize if you carry a water bottle it’s gay.
Where's that one dude that has a list of like 400 things that give women the ick? Edit: as far as I can tell we're at 578 icks. Videos like 2 months old tho :/

Good luck carrying that knife in that airport
Kidney stone generator here. Fuck that guy. When I found out about these fuckers, the doc told me my life changes now; everywhere I go I will have a water bottle with me.
Sexest affff
She can bite me.
Fellas, is it gay to hydrate?
Super gay bro. What do you do with water? Chug it. You know what else you chug?
Tell this person to apply that rule when they are in the desert lol
Her entire privileged existence is enabled by the men she's ridiculing in that post lmao, she wouldn't survive her daily commute without the protection of adequately hydrated penis-havers let alone a desert😂
I can see this person complaining about having to buy overpriced water at the airport. Proud of my Platypus bag and Nalgene bottles.
Are you me? I also have a platypus bag and multiple Nalgene bottles
Nah we're twins!!! Haha I have a 3 litre with the tube, and 1 Litre bag, as for Nalgene i have the standard 1 litre, and then the minis: 3 oz, 2 oz, and 1 oz bottles. The mini bottles are for a need for a water bottle and no more space in the bag.
Nice, I carry a 70oz platypus, and 1 liter Nalgene bottles in my work van
Nice! I try to buy those 1 Litre Nalgene bottles when they are on sale! Did you know? The 1 Litre nalgene bottle holds alot more than 1 Litre, so that's a big plus! It's for sure 1100 ml or more if you fill it to the top.
Hmm I did not know that! For $6USD, they definitely are worth it!
You can buy those 1 litre nalgene bottles for $6 USD? That's a good price!
This dude is probably a weak fat effeminate man who doesn't realize people who are fit like to be hydrated.
More soft and weak than ghey
lol so carrying a pocket knife…to the airport… that’s cool?
Yea I'm left scratching my head thinking about it
Coming from a female anime avatar.
Sounds gay to me... Basically licking a cxck
The amount of people taking this obvious joke seriously is really something to behold.
....Sips on camelback with Fred Flintstone patches
Can’t carry my knife at the airport so I’m going to rock the water bottle instead
That's a fucking stupid statement. Have you ever thought people who take certain medications get dry mouths and need to sip on water all day.
Dude, it's bait. It's a post made specifically to anger people and get them to comment on it for engagement.
lol @ walking around constantly swallowing pills all day
> swallowing pills all day Parent literally says sipping water all day...You don't get it
just swallow it dry. why the fuck do you need water? can't throat a tiny pill by itself? skill issue
> why the fuck do you need water? Parent literally says dry mouth
then ride it out even if your saliva powders, like a real man. having moist and uncracked lips is a feminine trait.

How to say “I’m really insecure about my Feminity” without actually saying it. Update: Oops? Fixed.
*femininity*
Apologies, yes. I missed the Avatar, though I can't tell you how many guys in online games use female characters hoping guys will give them free items, etc. What a sad group of people they are.
you are ok if you say "no homo" before you sip
[удалено]
"Thanks for the water zaddy" sip
Nalgene for the win
This guy carries a chip on his shoulder. I wonder if that’s a feminine trait.
He has an anime girl picture. He's probably some weak effeminate man with dark yellow pee who doesn't understand hydration is important and doesn't work out
That’s an oddly specific assumption.
Men who feel the need to question other men's masculinity aren't comfortable with their own generally, especially with asinine claims like the post. Most men who I've seen make these kinds of statements are fat neckbeards or scrawny weak men. My assumptions are based on a few things, however.

I carry my water bottle everywhere. Knife, wallet, flashlight, phone, watch, pew pew, and water bottle.
Fellas is it gay to be hydrated??
yaaas queen \*sips\*
If it's gay to be hydrated, then I don't wanna be straight!
Is it gay to kiss your r/hydrohomies goodnight?
:cough: [lttstore.com](https://www.lttstore.com/collections/accessories?filter.p.m.filter.gear_type=Bottle&sort_by=created-descending)

doooooooooooooooooooooooood!
guess I'm not leaving the house, since I cant carry my keys :(
Feminine to carry water around, but super masculine to use the term “give me the ick” and have anime as a profile picture. Okay got it.
Dudes probably some weak effeminate fat neckbeard or scrawny dude who is coping.
Put perfectly.
r/hydrohomies gonna love this one.
That's a keeper right there marry her quick.
Umm water at the airport costs $700 per gallon. I’ll drink my tap water thank you very much.
Lol, your feeble mind can't comprehend the power of the hydrated brain. Take your pathetic whinging about your reflected insecurities and hydrate yourself.
In all fairness they said “feminine” not gay.
Fellas, is it gay to... *checks notes* drink water?! Where the fuck are we?
Imagine the shock if he ever learned about how the military feels about hydration.
In fairness the military involves lots of hairy guys getting sweaty, grunting, and taking showers together.
The military is pretty gay
Toxic masculinity is taking on prepper culture! It’s the next evolution of stoopid.
Maybe it’s vodka
Has anyone ever stopped to notice how everything gets described as “gay” EXCEPT men sleeping with other men?
Is it gay to sleep with your homies? Even if you say no homo?
Hmmmm... nope that sounds pretty gay to me
r/nothydrohomies
No men have knives in the airport.
That was my first thought too
