Daily carry items reflect our personal needs and survival philosophy, from budget-friendly knives to tactical firearms and simple house keys repurposed as defensive tools.

• EDC includes Ridge wallet, pocket knife rotation (Civivi, Zero Tolerance, Spyderco), phone, and Olight rechargeable keychain flashlight
• Firearms carry is selective rather than daily, using a Glock 43X with Holosun 507C red dot and compensator
• SERE principles guide EDC philosophy: Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape
• Always wearing running-capable footwear for quick movement in emergency situations
• House keys double as improvised defensive tools when placed between knuckles
• Car EDC differs from body carry, including towels, notebooks, pens, lighters, and gloves
• Buy pants two inches larger when carrying concealed to accommodate equipment comfortably
• Testing gear extensively before committing to it in your EDC rotation
• Comfort with your equipment matters more than following trends or buying expensive gear
• Getting feedback and starting conversations about EDC creates better informed choices
