EDC Must Haves for the Beginner Survivalist

The word 'Prepper' seems to carry a slightly unfavorable connotation nowadays. If you label yourself as a prepper, people might take that as a self proclamation of insanity, all the while you're smugly saying to yourself, "Don't be callin' me when SHTF". There's nothing wrong with being a survivalist, or being prepared for everything. Just don't go overboard stocking hundreds of pounds of food that expires in 6 months. Instead, get items that are small but useful and keep them readily available to you. No one is stopping you from building an underground bunker in your backyard, but if you're going to be prepared for everything, you should have a stash of gear kept in your car.

I've made a list of some of my favorite items that I carry in my Jeep at all times, if not on me. Please note that some of these are affiliate links. This means that they are links to amazon that contain information about my website to tell them where your click came from. If anything is purchased from these links I get a small fee, usually around 4%.

Medical:
I have small kids, so I always have some sort of medic kit on me. Whether its wipes, alcohol spray and band-aids or my full-on suture kit, I always have something.

These are products that I recommend:

Sleep/Camp:

I love camping gear. I take my portable stove with me everywhere and find any excuse to use it. Here's the basics:

Tools:

Toolboxes that are awesome and I can't recommend enough for ammo and other small items:

I have 4 of these for all of my ammo:

This concludes my short list. I'm not necessarily a prepper, but I do like to be prepared for things. I more than likely left out some items, so feel free to leave anything that you recommend in the comments section.
