I'll say the same thing as I said before
I have an EDC bag for venturing from home, but normal EDC goes in pockets and belts, its sopmething hammered into us in the army. Take any situiation you like and whatever circumstances you like, Forgetting the bag, dropping the bag, losing the bag, getting robbed etc, getting ambushed whilst taking a shit etc you name it, we are taught to keep the essentials on our persons or in our pockets so that if you are parted from your bag you still have the essentials to survive.
Shades on eyes, watch on wrist, compass on cord round neck, knife clipped to pocket, flashlight in pocket, , wallet, bandana, light stick, cellphone, paracord, water puri tabs, hand cleaning wipes, lighter, sharpy etc all in pockets
only stuff I can afford to lose goes in the EDC bag
I did a review of my EDC bag a while ago but now i cant find it ?? Sorry.
