Carrying a small tin with essential items that would help you survive in the event of a disaster is simple and low-cost. This is refered to as Every Day Carry or EDC for short, the idea is that it is always with you or very close by and it serves as a last resort in most cases. Liken this to your wallet or handbag, cigarettes / lighter, keys, etc. and get used to just having it near.
Dale at the Survivalist Prepper website has produced a great video and write-up on this, my EDC (shown) is included so I don’t need to write-up on this subject! Thanks Dale!
Dale is also running a competition to win one of these so why not enter whilst you are there?
