The EDC Bible

Prepared feels good! You'll never be ready for everything but smart carry choices can make you ready for a great many things. This book has simple rigs and ideas to help you carry more gear. Distributing it improves comfort, capacity, security and even stealth.

Can some gear in your pockets or on your belt really save your life? Let's look at some common scenarios.

HypothermiaThe weather has caught you out... or maybe the ice broke. You're cold and wet, an hour's walk from your cabin. Your mobile phone isn't waterproof, it's dead. With empty pockets, you're in serious, possibly fatal, trouble. But you have kapok in a waterproof container in your pocket. There's a small waterproof lighter on the rig suspended in your right pocket. You still need fuel... but you have a chance you wouldn't have with empty pockets.

Car CrashYou're hanging upside down and the seatbelt is jammed shut. You reach into the rig in your pocket, it's a tight squeeze but there it is... a webbing cutter. It takes a few minutes but you're free. You don't need the integrated glass punch today... but it was there if you had needed it.

MuggerYour heart is pumping. The guy looks twitchy and the knife looks really long. You consider giving him your real wallet from the shoulder rig in your armpit. But he's shouting and pointing at the obvious lump of the decoy wallet in your cargo pants. You throw it to him, raising your palms in mock surrender... the lanyard for the strobing attack alarm only needs one quick yank. But he's got what he wants... he's gone. You get anti-personnel spray off your belt rig and cautiously exit the alley, back into the busy street...

Depending on your lifestyle and location some of these may seem far-fetched but there will be other threats or potential threats in your life. This book will help you carry the tools to shrug off adversity if it occurs.
