This is an urban problem/suburbs EDC naturally EDC’s differ based upon need and usage. My in the country EDC is very different. what’s in your EDC and what comments do you have to change or upgrade this one. It is also understood that I have my CCW with me at all times so that may be an addition but it is already on my person, plus two extra magazines

This is not my go bag,or my SHTF Bag this is the throw it over my shoulder and in the car every day bag and if civil unrest is keeping me from home, or I have to be in it late but can hike it home etc bag.

Assumptions are:

I grabbed hydration from my car or on the way(also have life straw in car)

Lets hear wht your thoughts are??

Easy to get addicted to EDC kits, EDC videos. Like there are 1M such vids by men very excited to show us “what’s in their man purse”. As Kevin Matthews used to say, “Is it wrong!?”

So I got a kick out of this cool lady to see her EDC kit vid from a lady’s/Mom’s perspective. “Dig” this:

I can’t understand the purpose of the described bag, other than you plan to visit Chernobyl. :laughing:
For Every Day Carry:
If I carry in fanny pack (going strapped while wearing scrubs would be a little off-putting) - Springfield XDS .45, 2 magazines, folding knife, flashlight, leatherman and wallet.
Jeans n t-shirt days - Colt Commander in .45, otherwise same as fanny pack.

For Get Home Bag:
Clothing-
Hat, FrogTog rain jacket and pants, 1 pair GI wool socks, Mechanix gloves.
Water, fire, food, shelter-
Iodine water tablets, Lifestraw, collapseable / refillable 2qt water container, lifeboat matches, magnesium fire stick, one week emergency food bars, mylar emergency tent and sleeping bag.
Medical-
Tourniquet, quick-clot bandages, gauze, chorohexadine wipes, povidone iodine, various bandages, triangle bandage, 2 and 4" ace wrap. Drugs - anti diarrheal (immodium) tablets, 600mg ibuprophen, diphenhydramine, epi-pen, bug spray.
Others-
Extra magazines for XDS, large fixed bladed knife, orienteering compass, mini lantern with candles, N95 masks, cyalume sticks, and 50ft paracord and small carabiners.
Power bank for phone.
All goes into a camera bag with over shoulder sling, nothing that screams “tactical”.
This is based on what it would take for me to walk 30 miles home from where I work, traversing rural countryside with multiple back roads to get me where I’m going.
