Has a lot of the same elements as urban EDC I think:

  • Fake wallet with not much money and bogus cards, pictures.
  • Real wallet, with cash, cards, ID, emergency contact info.
  • Cheaper watch - timex, casio, etc.
  • Reflective and light colored clothing - nothing expensive looking to draw attention. Consider one or two LED based reflective signal lights.
  • Walking stick
  • Whistle around neck.
  • Flashlight - bright enough to blind temporarily
  • Pepper Spray or equivalent.... you just never know, even in "safe" areas.
  • fold-away hat and jacket, the kind that fold into their own pocket + poncho for heavy rain
  • Water + sugary snack
  • cell phone
  • pocket knife
  • Meds for any medical conditions
  • Good walking shoes


I suppose a compass if you are exploring or don't konw the territory well.
