Realistic Everyday Carry by Max Cooper sets itself apart from many other EDC books by emphasizing the importance of what you carry On Your Person or OYP. Too many people focus on carrying all of their gear in some form of external carry case. Realistically, there are a host of reasons why you may not have an external carry case, such as a backpack, with you. Or you may not be able to get to your backpack even if it is not far from your current location. Then what? Then you must rely what you carry in your pockets which supplements your survival mindset and skillset. Relying on an external carry case to hold all of your gear may provide you with a false sense of security. For unprepared individuals failure is a very real reality and the consequences can be high. Realistic Everyday Carry covers a variety of EDC options that you can consider based on your unique and individualized needs, location, climate, and other factors.

An emergency or crisis situation can happen at a moment’s notice. You are either prepared or you are not – there is very limited middle ground. Realistic Everyday Carry is about providing options and to improve your decision making ability to know and understand the cost/benefit ratio of every piece of EDC gear that you decide to put into your pockets.

This is a must have book for your preparedness resource library.
