Everyday Carry

EDC is every day carry: the small set of items on your person during a normal day. Its value is that it is always present, which no larger kit can claim.

A minimal set

  • A light. A single-AAA or rechargeable pocket light. This is the item people use most and pack last.
  • A knife or multitool.
  • A means of making fire.
  • A phone with offline maps downloaded.
  • A tourniquet, if you carry anything medical at all. It is the only item that reverses a death in the timeframe you can act in.
  • Cash in small bills.

The test

The test of an EDC item is whether it is on you right now. An item you leave at home when the clothes are inconvenient is not EDC — it is a bag item, and it should be planned for as one.
