Show me your carry

One photo. The list of what is in it. Your name on it. If it fits the rules it goes up as its own page, and readers score it out of ten. I look first; no machine publishes anything here.

  1. Shoot itOne clean photo on a plain surface. Phones are fine.
  2. List itEvery item, one per line. Brand and model if you know them.
  3. Get ratedI check it. Readers score it out of ten. It goes up with your name on it.

One to three, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB each. One clean shot on a plain surface beats three busy ones. Your phone’s location and camera data are stripped before anything is published.

Brand and model where you know them. Two lines minimum.

So I can tell you when it is up, or ask before cropping. Never published, never shared.

Six rules, none of them surprising

  1. List what is in the photo. One item per line, brand and model if you know it. The list is the useful part: it is how the next person finds the pen you like.
  2. Your own photo of your own gear. No stock shots, no product photos lifted from a maker’s site, no pictures of somebody else’s carry.
  3. No selling. No links, no handles, no watermarks, no shop names in the text. If you make things, they can be in the shot next to the rest of your carry; the post is about the carry, not the shop.
  4. Keep it to everyday carry. Knives, lights, pens, tools, wallets, watches, keys, notebooks, small electronics. No firearms or ammunition on this site.
  5. Nothing that identifies anyone. No faces, plates, addresses, badges or documents in frame. Yours or anyone else’s.
  6. Civil, always. Nobody here asks why you carry a knife, or why you do not. The item list is the whole conversation.

Then what
