My EDC (every day carry) is the basic set of equipment I keep on my person for the most rudimentary survival scenarios.
On my person EDC
Certain things I don’t leave home without and other things are situation dependent. I always like to wear sensible clothing and footwear, a hat of some kind, a jacket, and sunglasses. Other things I don’t leave home without:
- Glock 19, streamlight tlr-7a, 18 round magazine, hornady critical duty 9mm.
- Pocket knife or leatherman
- Extra cash
Although most days I keep my entire bug out bag within short reach (almost EDC), I don’t always have it. For that I like to compensate with these items:
- Tourniquet and sharpie
- Extra magazine
- Bic lighter
- Note taking gear
In the car EDC
I usually have my entire bug out bag with me in the car. For the sake of not being redundant I won’t list those items here (see bug out bag) but I’ve listed the items that are separate from the bug out bag:
- Fire extinguisher
- Extra magazines
- Tourniquet & sharpie
- Roadside emergency kit
- Gloves
- Rain jacket
- Change of clothes, socks x3
- Spare Sunglasses
- Napkins/wipes
- Hand sanitizer
- Big black trash bags
- Machete and tomahawk
