EDC stands for “Everyday Carry.” Military operators and law enforcement or security personnel use it to refer to the items you carry around with your every day. You could have an EDC folding knife in your pocket, and an EDC flashlight on your belt.

Can an EDC bag serve as a bug-out bag?

No. While an EDC bag is useful and you can pack a decent amount of gear in it, it won’t have the same capacity as a bug out bag. When bugging out, you need to take loads of equipment with you, and you’ll probably do better with a day pack or 3-day pack for your bug out bag.

Should I carry a firearm in my EDC bag?

Yes, many firearms owners carry their weapons in EDC bags. Most models come with a dedicated storage compartment for concealed-carry weapons (CCW). Look for a model that offers side-access zips to get to your firearm quickly in an emergency.
