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
- Carry lightweight, multipurpose gear that fits in a plain bag:
- 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).
