I have already spoke about Car EDC Kits, and how important they are for your survival when taking any kind of trip in your car. Now it’s time to discuss another topic, the Everyday Carry Kit, or EDC Kit.
If you where to empty your pockets right now, what EDC items would be in them? A phone? That pen your Mum gave you? A flashlight? The handy multitool that you use all the time? If you don’t at least carry a phone, then you need to keep reading! If you do, keep reading anyway.
Being a blogger in the prepping community, I like to share my opinion on a lot of different topics, but this post is going to go into detail on how you can build the ultimate EDC Kit (Every day Carry Kit) and I will share with you what EDC items I keep on my person and in my EDC organiser.
An EDC Kit, or every day Carry Kit is gear a prepper will have on their person at all times. Whilst you may have a bug out bag stored away in your home, or car, your every day carry kit is always by your side, and is something that you can make use of frequently throughout the day.
Ensuring you have a properly packed EDC Kit is one of the most important steps you will take in your preparedness journey. In this article I will talk about the everyday carry kit items I always have on my person, and how they aid me in day to day life, and what every day carry items you should have too.
First, lets look at my line of work.
I work from home during the day, and in the evenings I work on a farm, so I need to take these things into consideration when building my every day carry kit. When working from home, I tend not to carry my EDC items on my person, they usually sit beside me on my desk, and can be grabbed at a moments notice, though, I never leave the house without them.
When building your Everyday carry kit you should take the following into consideration:
- What you need everyday
- What problems might you face
- What do you need if SHTF
When building your everyday carry kit, take a think about what activities you are going to be doing on that day, you may be going for a hike, or just a walk in the park, going to work, or out for dinner. Whatever the circumstances, you need to think about the worst case scenario and what you can do to be prepared for it.
My EDC kit isn’t always the same, it depends, like I said above, on what I am doing. I usually will carry a few EDC items with me at all times, but the rest of the items I carry vary from day to day.
Lets get into it, and start talking gear, everyone loves gear, right?
Ultimate EDC Kit – The Preppers List
Most people, regardless of who they are, or what they work at, carry at least 2 items, a phone and a wallet. There is far more to having a well built everyday carry kit than that though, so let’s take a look at what EDC items I carry, when I carry them, and why.
The every day carry items I have on my person, regardless of what I am doing, or where I am going are as follows:
- Kershaw Leek Folding Knife
- RFID Blocking Wallet
- G-Shock Tough Solar Atomic Watch
- iPhone (Can be used to take notes also)
- Flashlight: Olight H2R Nova (I carry this in my pocket without the head strap)
An RFID blocking wallet is becoming an ever more important bit of kit, what it does is stops someone walking past your with an RFID scanner and swiping your card information from you bank and credit cards. This is real, and is happening to thousands of people every year.

Everyday Carry – On the Body
A part of EDC gear, that is often forgotten about, is what you wear on your body. Personally, I like to wear clothing that is durable, not too tight, but not really baggy either, and can be worn anywhere. The trousers I wear on a daily basis, unless I am going out for dinner, or to something formal, are the Helikon-Tex Urban Line Tactical Pants, if I do need to wear something more formal, it is usually jeans.
I like clothing with plenty of pockets so I can store my EDC items neatly and inconspicuously away without looking like a commando on a day off. Another important part of your EDC gear is your foot wear. I like to always wear hard wearing boots, at the moment, I am wearing Karrimor Hiking boots, they look decent, and you don’t look out of place walking down the street wearing them. They are also waterproof, so rain and puddles are no problem.
EDC Gear – Other Items
Above, I have covered what I carry on a daily basis regardless of what I am doing, or where I am going. Now lets take a look at the other EDC items I carry in my EDC pouch, these things are more for survival, and I usually take them with me everywhere, but tend not to carry them on my person all the time. It is common for preppers to have an EDC pouch or organiser with them, and in my opinion, this is far better than carrying around a backpack.
The pouch I use is the Vanquest EDCM-SLIM 2.0 Maximizer. It does a great job at storing the items I need, and everything fits inside it neatly.
So, what EDC items do I carry in my pouch?

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL

Outstanding story there. What occurred after? Thanks!
In January, then Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte described delays in vaccine supplies by both AstraZeneca and Pfizer as “unacceptable” and accused the companies of violating their contracts.
What does Italy say?
It explained the move by saying that Australia was not on a list of “vulnerable” countries, that there was a permanent shortage of vaccines in the EU and Italy, and that the number of doses was high compared with the amount given to Italy and to the EU as a whole.
It said that previous requests had been given the green light as they included limited numbers of samples for scientific research, but the latest one – being much larger, for more than 250,000 doses – was rejected.
