hello all

i am new to the forum can any one suggest an EDC list for urban setting

It's going to be a sensory assault but if you search the forum you're going to find all the EDC examples you'll ever need.


...and welcome newguy!

When I began to put together and EDC, I looked at the list of things in Doug Ritter's pocket-sized PSK and took it from there. I think what you put in yours is going to depend on you and your environment. If you are like many, you will think and rethink what is in yours over and over again. Nothign wrong with doing so.

If you want an idea about what some EDC take a look at: http://forums.equipped.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=119353&fpart=1

The list for mine is in there, and I am in an urban environment.

And welcome!!

Welcome Newguy!!!

Ditto on the search function. From what I understand your search must have at least four characters, so try "urban edc" or something similar...

also you could see www.edcforums.com they might help...again sensory overload for someone new but well worth it. Welcome!

Welcome!!

I would suggest a good flashlight and head lamp, N95 Masks, Doug Ritter PSK, a good knife (if you can carry) and to check out County Comm http://www.countycomm.com/. You can go crazy there. Extra batteries, water storage as well as on body supply of drinkable water, pen and paper, pry bars etc. energy bar/food. As others have said search the forum.

Oh yeah, a good concealable gun. To protect your S#!^ and @$$

That should get you started,

welcome! good luck narrowing it down... best idea is to look at prior posts, come up with your own design, then post it here. At that point, you'll get more feedback than your wife AND girlfriend could give you combined

welcome, this forum is a great resource of knowledge, you'll be surprised at what some of the members know

Welcome to ETS, I know from time to time as newer guest arrive they always ask several general questions that have been covered relentlessly and the common answer is to search for it which in some cases take quite awhile. I'm wondering if one of the moderators could put a quick link to some of the basic questions to help assist others (similar to what the Bussie forum does on Blade Forum). And as new questions arise the links can be updated, etc..
Just a thought............

Umm...do what the other people here suggested, and go to the links they provided. That's all I can say. There will be so much information it'll almost drive you mad but hopefully you'll get a ton of useful ideas.

The most important thing (what I did, anyway) is to make a list with the budget you have. From there decide what you think you need to buy based on where you live, interact with others, and work. Then just kind of go from there.

Reading materials on preparedness and survival help GREATLY. They can give you a ton of ideas on everything from building a pocket-sized survival kit from what kind of small equipment you should carry from day to day. Just check out your local library or bookstore, there's a ton of information there. That's what I do!

And welcome, BTW!
