Summary

Quick Series Overview Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential preparedness topics to build a strong survival foundation. Episode Summary: In this episode of the Back to Basics series, Coby and Cam break down the essentials of Everyday Carry (EDC)—the gear and mindset that keep you ready for anything, no matter where you are. They cover the must-have EDC items, discuss how to tailor your carry to your environment, and explore the balance between preparedness and practicality. Whether you’re a hardcore prepper or just starting to think about what you carry, this episode will help you build an EDC setup that makes sense for your lifestyle. Episode Notes: What is EDC? EDC stands for Everyday Carry—the essential gear you have with you at all times. Designed to keep you prepared for daily tasks, unexpected situations, and even emergencies. Can vary depending on lifestyle, location, and personal preference. Core EDC Items Knife or Multitool – A must-have for utility, self-defense, or survival. Flashlight – Small but powerful; crucial for emergencies, power outages, and self-defense. Wallet – Keep it simple but secure, including cash, ID, and emergency contacts. Phone – Your most versatile tool, but don’t rely on it for everything. Firestarter – Lighter or ferro rod for emergency situations. Pen & Notebook – Useful for notes, navigation, or leaving messages. Watch – Preferably analog for reliability in power outages. Paracord/Bracelet – A simple survival tool with multiple uses. Self-Defense Option – Pepper spray, firearm (where legal), or a defensive tool. Situational EDC Adjustments Urban EDC: Keep it low-profile with a multitool, flashlight, and cash. Wilderness EDC: Add fire-starting gear, a small first-aid kit, and a whistle. Work/Office EDC: A discreet setup—pen, multitool, flashlight, and extra phone battery. The Philosophy of EDC Prepared, Not Paranoid – Carry what makes sense, don’t go overboard. Layering Your Gear – Everyday Carry → Vehicle Kit → Bug Out Bag. Training Matters – Having the gear is one thing; knowing how to use it is another. Final Thoughts Your EDC is personal—build it based on your daily life and risk factors. Keep it simple, practical, and effective. Always reevaluate and refine your carry setup over time.
