Everyday Carry or EDC
This is items you carry everyday on your person. I do not carry a firearm because I don't think that is necessary for my line of work, however their are people out there who need to carry a weapon to feel safe and protected. I think if you have proper training that is your right to do so.
I do carry a multi tool that I use everyday. I also carry a marker, pen, and my wallet. I have a few para cord bracelets that I carry on my person.
In my wallet I carry my I.D, bank card, various store cards(which can be used as window scrapers if needed) and a 2 foot piece of aluminium foil which is folded into the size of a credit card. I will post what its uses are at a later time.

Things to prepare
It's been awhile so here goes another post.
With the year coming to a close I wanted to give a little info and ideas for things to do this next year. If you have any ideas or things that would be useful please feel free to leave comments.
I haven't talked much about E.D.C.(every day carry). Some people carry lots of thing some don't. I think it all depends on your work and what your doing that day. I carry a multi tool everyday. I use it a few times a day with my work. In my wallet I carry a piece of aluminum foil that is folded to the size of a credit card. It has quite a few uses. In my truck I carry my B.O.B., a heavy coat, floor jack and other tools.
In my wife's car we have her B.O.B, flashlights and other various things. We had an experience with a flat tire and it was raining that day. The ground was wet and I grabbed her tarp out of her bob, and used that on the ground. I also had her work gloves from her bob also. That was so great to have those items ready to use.
Everyone thinks that your B.O.B. is for leaving your house in a hurry. I think it should reflect what you would need in an emergency. Not all disasters are going to require you to leave or get out quick.
You should have a bag with supplies in it to have by your desk or locker at work or school. Not everyone will be by their vehicles when something happens. Anyway here are just my thoughts.
