Every Day Carry (EDC)

Everyday carry or E.D.C. as the name suggests is the items that you always have with you whenever you leave your home.

For the past several months my E.D.C. has been;

1. Intey 10 in 1 multitool - this multitool has several common uses as well as the ability to process wood for firewood or shelter building.


2. Swiss army pocket knife - absolutely essential item everyone should have one in their pocket.


3. Cotton bandana - can be used as an emergency bandage or face mask.


4. Ferrocerium "ferro" rod - a means of igniting a fire is crucial and ferrocerium or "ferro" rods create sparks over 3000⁰C that are guaranteed to start a fire and are weatherproof.


5. Paracord bracelet - looks good and is a easy way of carrying over 2m of paracord for multiple uses from shelter building to trapping.


6. Vaseline - the tins reflective lid makes a good emergency signal mirror, the "wonder jelly" as its inventor originally called it can help start a fire and prevent skin dryness and cracking.
