KeymasterI’m reconsidering my travel EDC (urban areas) for after the pandemic when we are allowed to do business journeys again. Based on previous experience I decided to cover some aspects like keeping me warm and something to drink/eat when shops are not available, as well as a little bit of survival stuff
I’ve added to my travel EDC:
- SnugPak Jungle Blanket for when getting stranded on a broken-down train or rental car (with heating failed during winter), having to wait at a train station, bus station, airport; can act as an improvised sleeping bag as the last resort
- Sea to Summit X-Seal & Go collapsible mug with a screw-on lid (400ml / 14oz) and a titanium fold-able spork to prepare, transport and consume (hot) drinks and food; most places provide hot water but may not have coffee, tea, or snacks available, given the time of the day/night or how often the office kitchen is re-stuffed
- titanium mug (350ml / 12oz) with lid together with an open flame burner & small bottle of denatured alcohol plus a small pot stand that slips over the mug, to heat up water to drink and prepare food (see next bullet point)
- single servings of instant coffee/tea, Ramen noddles, porridge, granola bars
- 10 water disinfect/treatment tablets, one tablet per liter / quart, in case water supply got contaminated
Edit: Added photo of stuff (except Jungle Blanket)
This stuff will enhance my usual travel setup (for 1-2 day trips):
- small toiletry bag
- first aid and trauma kit (including a mylar blanket for wind & rain protection and a one-time-use hand warmer heating pad)
- clothes pouch with underwear, socks, t-shirt, polo shirt, merino gloves & beany
- bottle of water, breakfast / lunch / dinner to-go (if available)
- laptop, power supply, etc.
Do you bring similar (survival) stuff as your travel/urban EDC?
What areas you got or want to cover, based on (bad) experience while “on the road”? -
