American Outdoor Guide: Boundless Magazine EDC Spring 22 Edição anterior

You only have so many pockets to stuff all of the items of gear you want to carry with you on any given day. So, in this Spring 2022 issue of EDC – Everyday Carry Essentials, we have a story by frequent contributing expert Reuben Bolieu on lightweight containers you can sling over your shoulder or attach to your belt that allow you to go beyond pocket and expand your carry capabilities. In a related piece, prolific preparedness writer Jim Cobb gives us a close look at small pouches – pockets within pockets – that can help us to keep all of our small gear items organized. Bolieu also puts the spotlight on Bushcraft Kelso’s homemade bushcraft gear, some of which you can wear on your wrist or around your neck, ready and available for when you need it fast. He also puts various ready-made SOL products to the test to see if they really can help us to “survive outside longer.” Of course, many who are interested in staying prepared for the day ahead aren’t trekking off to the woods. So, we had Cobb give us a look at some urban EDC options. Ever wonder what the cops carry on and off duty? Longtime police officer Mike Travis shows us some of his most trusted equipment.
