EDC (Every Day Carry) is something that many people do without even thinking about it - but with a little thought and planning, it can become an important way to ensure your safety and survival in the event of an accident or emergency. An EDC bag or organizer is basically a collection of things that you take with you every time you walk out the door. Most people either end up carrying things they don't need, or forgetting to take things they will need. This is where an EDC list comes in handy. A simple way to make your own EDC list is to carry a pen and paper with you for a week, and every time you need something you don't have with you, write it down.
This of course only gives you the things you need, not the things you MIGHT need. Check out our list at the bottom of the page for a few items you may want to include on your own personal EDC list.
