A UK prepping site researching, discussing and planning for the world this may become when the lights go out, chaos reigns.... and the fires burn.

Category EDC

EDC or Every-Day-Carry is the general term given to the gear and equipment we carry at least on a regular, if not a literal, every day basis. For most people, even those who have never heard of EDC, this would be a wallet and keys.  Some people might add a torch to what they carry or a knife or multitool or both.  Like all things prepping, your every-day-carry is just that, yours.  It contains items that you need or find useful and as such, someone else’s wouldn’t fit your needs.

As with bug-out-bags and other prepping activities, the EDC category here on When The Fires Burn is specific to uk prepping, so you won’t find talk of every-day-carrying a semi-automatic pistol or a 7″ Bowie knife because we can’t! (although that may be included in linked articles and videos with other relevant content)
