I’ll list a few of mine:

  • I keep an organized bag of chargers and power banks in my work book-bag. Super helpful whenever I run low or need a specific charger, especially when traveling.
  • at least one diaper and pad in my bag and car for family members.
  • two screwdriver’s in my bag. One for my eyeglasses and one for normal use. The eyeglass one is rarely used but when it’s needed it’s essentially and a pain if I can’t find one.

I EDC a little Helikon-Tex sere pouch with small items and a small Helikon-Tex first aid pouch.

EDC-bag:

First aid

  • globes
  • bandage
  • CPR mask
  • bandaids
  • emegency blanket
  • splinter tweezers
  • tick tweezers
  • rats tourniquet
  • medicine
  • wound wipes

The pouches go in my backpack.

If I’m going jacket only, I’ve got some bandaids, a blanket, a CPR mask and a bandage in the pockets.

In European countries, where we don’t shoot at each other this might already be overkill as every car has a first aid kit and almost all bleedings will be stopable with those bandages.

My plans. Plans for everything, and plans for those plans if they fail, and tertiary plans. I love plans. SOPs (standard operating procedures). I’d rather have a solid plan for everything reasonable (and some unreasonable) than all the gear in the world with no plan. Plans documented, memorized, printed and digitized. I had a very logistics-heavy role in the military, and as a civilian with a family in this day and age of so much uncertainty, I’m honestly more focused on them than I was when I was serving.
