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.
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.
I EDC a little Helikon-Tex sere pouch with small items and a small Helikon-Tex first aid pouch.
EDC-bag:
- petzl emergency headlamp
- earpro
- sleeping earpro
- headset
- paracord
- zip ties
- gorilla tape on an old card
- Anker powercore+ mini battery pack
- pencil + pencil sharpener
- SOG powerpint multitool
- valve key (cross)
- triple head usb cable (Lightning, USB-C, micro USB)
- charger
- car charger
- smartwatch charger
- phone car mount
- wedge
- CPR mask
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.
That’s an impressive list for such an easy to carry bag! Thanks for sharing
