Essential Everyday Carry Gear for Discreet Preparation

4. Gear:

Carry tools and supplies that are functional yet inconspicuous.

Strategies:

  • Everyday Carry (EDC):
    • Use multi-purpose tools that can be easily concealed, such as a credit card-sized multitool.
    • Avoid large or obvious survival items like machetes or oversized flashlights. Opt for compact and discreet versions.
  • Bag Essentials:
    • Carry lightweight, multipurpose gear that fits in a plain bag:
      • Water purification tablets
      • Foldable knife (legal in your area)
      • Cash in small denominations
      • Portable phone charger
      • Emergency poncho
      • Compact first aid kit
  • Weapons:
    • If carrying weapons is legal and necessary, ensure they’re concealed properly and easily accessible.
    • Opt for items like a tactical pen or kubotan that don’t scream “weapon.”
  • Technology:
    • Use basic, untraceable devices where necessary (e.g., a burner phone instead of your smartphone).
