EDC Kit Containers

Hi Guys! If you are reading this right now you are probably a survivalist or someone of the like. Good! Great actually! And if you are a survivalist you are probably aware of the advantages of having an EDC kit and carring it every day. So I'm not going to go into in too much detail. If you are reading this, are a survivalist, know to advantages of owning and carrying an EDC kit are, but you don't know what  EDC stands for, take in the knowledge I am about to give you! EDC stands for EveryDay Carry and refers to a survival kit that you keep in your pocket or on your person. Good now thats sorted lets get on with things!

After you have picked out and collected the items that will be contained in your survival kit you must choose a container. This may seem easy, but you need to work out how to are going to carry it, if you want a tin, a plastic container or a soft packaging, and if you think your kit may expand and evolve as it grows older and you grow wiser after using it lots, you will need to keep that in mind. If you want a tin, it's best to consider if it is painted inside, because if it is you can't cook in it without packing youself with harmful chemicals, feeling horrible for about 24 hours and then dropping dead from being poisened. Which defeats the purpose of trying to survive in the first place.

Personally I am a big fan of tins especially Altoids tins, of which are suprisingly hard to come by in Australia- where I live! Plastic if fine I suppose, but you can't make charcloth in it! They probably have more of a chance of being waterproof. An as for soft ones like small cloth bags, I hate them. You can't do anything in them. And get them near water an they are soaked through before you can snatch them from the water! The only time I like cloth/ facbric in the wilderness in in back-packs!
