    Speaking of which, this is TCSB (Tiny Ceramic Switch Blade)...

    Any suggestions for an EDC bag that doesn't look like an EDC bag? Meaning it has all the velcros/dividers inside it? Reason for this is to avoid drawing attention to the bag itself and its content.

    Hi! Did you get the ridge wallet with the money clip or the one with the strap? Does it hold bills well or do the bills slip off too easily?

    Because of the threat of nuclear war, South Koreans are preparing for the inevitable by prepping their respective go-bags...

    It's actually funny because, yeah when that nuclear bubble bursts, would you even have the time to strap that go-bag on?

    ^But not TSA-approved I presume, being that multitool can be seized by border Nazis. As for RFID, it’s just an exceptional piece of tech for every EDC. This one is just a sleeve that can be placed inside wallets and protect your cards.

    Yep. Not TSA approved of course. You can leave the multitool at home and place more cards in it. As per the website, it can accommodate a max of 17 cards. Haha I don’t have 17 cards in the first place.

    Are you prepared for the worst?

    By now, you should have in place two bags per person, whether they are EDC or long-term. One, a bug out bag (BOB) for getting the hell out of Dodge when SHTF; another, a bring home bag (BHB) for when you are caught out of the confines of your home, or in the office, or getting your hair cut or manicure done, whatever, in time for the apocalypse or something close to it. Which reminds me a text from a friend years back who asked me, “Why bother? We’re all going to die anyway. No need to prepare for it. Let’s just sit back and wait for it to come.” So calm that dude. I believe he ended up being an alcoholic later.

    Anyway, those who just aren’t ready to die yet are the ones likely to prepare, regardless of what kind of apocalyptic event transpires. Whether we hit the dirt at once or endure far longer than we know of is the reason for prepping BTW.

    Because of the other thread we have here, during the Taal and the start of this pandemic, I checked again our only bug out bag then, and throw some expired med and food and replenished them with new one. But what’s lacking in it now, and what’s really important ... bottled water. I have a collapsible water bottle. Still don’t have that portable water purification system/filter. I only managed to make 2 bags - backpack, with just basic essentials that I have here and hope to add another one or two bags again. And hoping to add something for self defense.
