EDC Bag Overview

My EDC Bag Overview:
TEOTWAWKI Blog Contest Entry Link

TEOTWAWKI Blog held a contest for an EDC Bag overview and this is my entry to that contest. I have been carrying this bag for a few years and is an upgrade from a messenger bag I used to carry. The bag so far has meet my needs for work/light camping/hunting/bushcraft/etc. The room for possible expansion- main portion of the bag could hold a change of clothes, a small pocket in the main part of the bag, the dump pouch on the strap of the bag for collecting fire tender, wild edibles or magazines/brass when at the range),the ability attach the a dry bag to the bottom of the bag it and countless Molle. My background aside from running the 7P's Blog is in Emergency Response and Oil and Gas Field so most of my items are tailored to one of those three functions. This is not a bug-out-bag or a get home bag it is merely an EDC bag with all the tools I need to get through any issue in my day. While I wouldn't have a major issue getting through a week or so in the woods with this kit (I have a couple times) it was not set up for this purpose but it is helpful considering I'm at work for 72 hours straight and need to fend for myself during that time along with the time I spend in the woods. 

1) The Bag (Center Black Bag): It is the perfect size to fit between the seats of a vehicle or in the front of a car while still having room for all of my essential gear.The back has plenty of room for expansion via MOLLE and has countless interior pockets for additional organization.

On the exterior of the pack I keep the following Items: Large Fire Kit (More Info HERE), Dark Angel Medical IFAK (More Info HERE), EDC Cook Set (More Info HERE), Mora Bushcraft Black Survival, Magazine pouch, and a 250 lumen right angle light.
