Everyday Carry (EDC) is exactly what it sounds like: Survival equipment that you should always have on your person or quickly accessible for use in a survival situation.

Some survival incidents can be predicted (like a hurricane or impending blizzard.)

Some cannot be specifically predicted, but the chances of a survival incident occurring can be reasonably assessed (like a prediction for severe storms with a cold front coming through in the Summer or the possibility of a tornado happening somewhere in tornado alley.)

Most survival situations, however, are not able to be predicted and surprise even the most prepared survivalist (as in an earthquake or a severe storm path that suddenly diverts along a new path.)

All that means is the volatility of these types of occurrences demand that you be always prepared and maintaining an EDC list is one way of doing that.
