EDC 3. Energy

In the past this would have just been fire, but our energy needs, our technology has changed this.

- Have a few ways to start a fire, lighter, matches, flint and steel. I carry a road flare in the car, it could be used to start a fire.

- Always have your phone at least half charged, charge it when you're driving, keep a way to charge it in the car as well as with you in your bag.

- Think about a powerbank, keep that topped up also. Mine also has a torch inbuilt.

- A light source is also important. This can be a torch, your phone torch etc. But a nice solid metal torch is best, can be used to blind and as a little baton if needed.

I have a 100ah lithium battery box that I keep charged at home but take in the car when going on holidays or sometimes for longer day trips. I initially bought it to power a small travel fridge but I also have 12v lights that can run off of it and can use it for charging phones etc. I want to add solar charging so it could be used as a power source even if I had no mains for a while.

I’m sure it could also use it to generate a spark big enough to start a fire if needed. 😂

I have a little solar panel, battery and inverter set up I've been running for years. The inverter is super old, but it's great for camping and running lights, fans in blackouts.

Yeah I have a small inverter I can run off of the battery too. I think it is only good for about 300w but enough to charge a laptop or run extra lights temporarily etc.
