http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/LJ126%27s+%22Survival+EDC%22+1%3A+Tools+of+the+TradeWhere are you going to be when the zompocalypse occurs? At home and within arms reach of your guns and ammo? Probably not. If you're anything like me, you're going to be at school or at work, out at dinner, stuck in traffic... the list of possibilities go on and on. Let's face it - Murphy's Law states that "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" - and odds are, you're not going to be on the lucky end of things. That is what your EDC gear is for.
This article is part one of a ??? part series that discusses the gear and skills that should be part of your day-to-day arsenal as a civilian. To quote the one of the fathers of science-fiction, Robert Heinlein:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
Read the article, tell me what you think. Don't be afraid to be critical either - you're not going to offend me if you're addressing a realistic concern about the article.

Alright, lighter added. It's looking good to me. There are other items that could be added but they would really be specialized and probably not used every day like the ones listed in the article.
For example, you could throw in a prophylactic, a few band aids, a high quality whistle, a set of latex gloves (or ten prophylactics!), a bandana and sunglasses but then you'd need to upgrade to a fanny pack. Only Nutnfancy is that prepared and it's excessive for my idea of EDC. EDC is supposed to be convenient - and there's nothing really convenient about toting around a fanny pack with you.
