The essential stage of your emergency gear should be well thought out every day carry (EDC) gear. Every day carry means the items you pack around each day. People often carry purses, wallets, knives and multi tools, lights, key chains, etc. You can handle 80% of simple daily challenges with the right EDC.

In an emergency, having some first aid and other gear can make a world of difference. We recommend carrying items in your car, purse, briefcase, wallet, pockets, etc.

EmergencyPrepGear recommends quality EDC gear including reviews. Think through your daily activities and the supplies you need on a regular basis. These light weight, quality items can make a huge difference.

Tip: carry something with pliers - we can always use a stronger set of fingers.
