Good day
This had to be discussed previously, but how many of you have one in the Car/EDC it ?
I made my first a few months ago with the notion that I'll only need the contents when SHTF. I have been proven wrong so many times !
It was one of the most valuable choices I could ever make.
I'll share the contents with you. These items may be/can be /was needed in situations where you would not expect them. I'm working on a proper BOB but this is this bag forms part of my EDC if you may call it that.
First off, I use a black backpack. It doesn't shout 'Prepper/soldier' and appears to be a normal rucksack. Although still appealing to thieves etc, I feel that the less inconspicuous I can be, the better.
Contents for my specific needs:
Small Flashlight.
Ball pen
Bic Lighter
Multi tool
Bicycle Spanner
Knife
Pack of cigarettes (I don't smoke)
Power bank and cable.
2 x 500 ml Bottled water
Snacks
Spare batteries ( AAA, AA, 9v & CR2032)
Notepad
Dry towel tissue
Hand sanitiser
Ski rope
Duct tape
Flat screwdriver/Philips screw driver.
Compass
Fire starter
Poncho
Buff
Mechanix gloves
Old Blackberry cell phone with sim and airtime.
3 pairs of thick sterile gloves
Comprehensive but portable IFAK
Certified copies of Driver's licence, Medical aid card, I D, Birth certificate of my son and FA-licences of all my Handguns.
I have had to use many of these items before even though it's not it's primary function.
For example, the water. I thought that I'll use it somewhere in the desert after my plane crashed :g: But in September while on vacation in Sodwana, the electricity went off due to heavy rains and thunderstorms. Surprise ! No electricity, no water !
Just a note, the bag is not too heavy and I'll still be able to walk comfortably with it if needed to.
I want to/need to add the following items:
Sunscreen
Socks
Handheld GPS such as E-Trex.
