Preppers

My plans. Plans for everything, and plans for those plans if they fail, and tertiary plans. I love plans. SOPs (standard operating procedures). I'd rather have a solid plan for everything reasonable (and some unreasonable) than all the gear in the world with no plan. Plans documented, memorized, printed and digitized. I had a very logistics-heavy role in the military, and as a civilian with a family in this day and age of so much uncertainty, I'm honestly more focused on them than I was when I was serving.

I EDC a little Helikon-Tex sere pouch with small items and a small Helikon-Tex first aid pouch.

EDC-bag:

• petzl emergency headlamp
• earpro
• sleeping earpro
• headset
• paracord
• zip ties
• gorilla tape on an old card
• Anker powercore+ mini battery pack
• pencil + pencil sharpener
• SOG powerpint multitool
• valve key (cross)
• triple head usb cable (Lightning, USB-C, micro USB)
• charger
• car charger
• smartwatch charger
• phone car mount
• wedge
• CPR mask

First aid

• globes
• bandage
• CPR mask
• bandaids
• emegency blanket
• splinter tweezers
• tick tweezers
• rats tourniquet
• medicine
• wound wipes

The pouches go in my backpack.

If I’m going jacket only, I’ve got some bandaids, a blanket, a CPR mask and a bandage in the pockets.

In European countries, where we don't shoot at each other this might already be overkill as every car has a first aid kit and almost all bleedings will be stopable with those bandages.
