Peep's EDC

Sheepdog showed off his EDC, now I am showing mine. I carry this every single day. I work out of town 2 days a week. In case SHTF in a way that would incapacitate our vehicle, I would be 46 miles form my home and family. I took this into consideration, and plan seasonal carries also. For instance, I typically have a small can of Sterno, but it isn't pictured here because I am not carrying Sterno in August. I check my bag every single day. In addition, we also keep a fully stocked bag in our vehicle that is very grab and go. I also keep a small cache of supplies in my office.

So whats in the bag?

A complete change of clothes and bandanna. On days I wear heels, I carry additional shoes.

Umbrella

Rain Poncho

Water bottle and purification tablets

Map

Space blanket

Super absorbent towel

Cell Phone and charger

Written emergency contact list (not pictured)

2 disposable toothbrushes

Feminine hygiene products

Sunscreen

Hand Sanitizer

Waterproof matches

Zippo

Glasses ( I wear contacts)

Sunglasses

Bug Spray

First Aid Kit

Knife

Spork (boy that comes in handy a lot!)

Millenia Bars

Black Sharpie

Several flashlights, one crank powered

Walkie Talkie (Sheepdog has the mate)

Chemical Glow Sticks

Map

On my keys- multi tool, flashlight, compass and whistle

And this is my little bag! Everything gets packed into one pocket, so I can keep the large compartment available for work or traveling overnight ect.

Being prepared takes a lot of the anxiety that I feel about working out of town away. I have an established escape route home that I and Sheepdog talk about regularly. We are always reviewing our plans, almost daily if not more.

If you aren't preparing yet, please think about starting today!

Sheepdog's Comments cause a stir

Today, Sheepdog commented on a nytimes.com post and this is what he said (not edited and in full):

Report Inappropriate Comment

• Vulgar
• Inflammatory
• Personal Attack

• Off-topic

"I knew there would be ignorant comments about gun laws and the NRA on here. For your information fairobserver, the world is FULL of guns! Laws like the treaty the UN is trying to pass will only keep guns out of the hands of law obiding people. Evil people will always have guns. My question is where in the heck were all my sheepdogs at??? There should have been 30 conceal carriers in that theater that stood up and took out the shooter. If I was there I would have saved lives."

The original article is here:

So what are your thoughts? Sheepdog had multiple comments in response to his, and all blaming the actions of one less than sane killer on the NRA and lack of gun control and legislature.
