to participate you have to obey certain rules and regulations
you have to be
an UrbanPeppers subscriber
be at least eighteen years of age

all the items should be suitable for urban environment
and be TSA compliant
last but not least there are some items to be excluded
these are: wallet, keys, watch
smartphone
and any knives and sharp objects. So that's checked
again checked and last checked
O.K. seems hard
but it's worth the effort
just check out the contest's price by following the links in the description
the products page and the products PDF document
still intrested check out what i came up with
as the contest's main themes are urban environment
and idea of every day carry I would like to introduce you to the system that I came up with
for my EDC
As you can see it is a tiered system inspired by TheUrbanPrepper
On the vertical axis
we can see
tiers and on the horizontal axis
there are needs
such as SAS basic needs
based on the SAS survival handbook and the "fifth needs"
which are additional needs, identified by other survival experts. It also includes
the knife arsenal concept.
If you are a knife enthusiast, you should follow the link in the description below
O.K. so lets get it started
In my system, in tier one I include all the items that are on me during the usual
work day. Which are... phone... wallet
sharpie
neck knife
another knife
multitool
lighter
another lighter
pill box
another knife
a lollipop
and another lighter
since we have to obey the rules of the contest
we're left with three items
a BIC lighter wrapped in duct tape
a lollipop
the tin with pills
band-aids
and other... if I am to be left with only those five items
I would like to get some little extra help
someone once said
that the duct tape is like Force
it has a Light and Dark side and holds the universe together
it can be used
to patching holes
as a rope to build the shutter
and as a belt or shoelaces
as a temporary band-aid - for health
and tinder - for five-starting
market trail as a communication device
to make a real tourch
as for illumination
and an... um...an...tourniquet for health
and it has hundreds and more uses
Lighter in another case has two basic uses. As for means of fire and illumination
is the simplest way to get both
and to survive
okay, next item is a lollipop, you can use it to gain extra bust - as a food
stop baby from crying
to help diabetic person
as a moral buster... afterwards
you could use a stick as a straw
in many ways fulfills food water and health needs
the number four
would be
and an activated carbon capsules
it can be used to treat poisonings, overdoses following oral ingestion
used as a drug to treat diarrhea
indigestion and flatulence
used as a makeshift gas mask to remove toxins from the breathing air
and also as a water filter
fulfills mainly health
and water needs
the fifth and the last item would be a pack of Analgesic drug
commonly known as painkillers
which can save a day of many people
from headache to wounds and infection. It is a real weapon in your hand
okay so let's quickly sum up the items I will have
in my EDC
that would be a duct tape
lighter
lollipop
activated carbon capsules
and an analgesic drug
Thank you UrbanPrepper for this great contest
