If you're going to EDC, I bet there are lots of 'survival guides' and stuff on reddit already. I think the most important factor (other than staying hydrated and protected from the sun/heat) is logistics. Traffic is like GTA out here.
You're never wrong for setting boundaries. However, in cases where people are unreasonable or *looking* for a fight, it's often best to deescalate. I've seen plenty of people "in the right" get hit. And even if the cops come, even if 'justice' is served, you can't be un-hit.
