Before I jump in there are a few things you should know. I link to Amazon products because they give me a small cut of the purchase price from each sale. It costs you nothing extra. You are not obligated to purchase from Amazon, but it does help this site and me.
When you start to learn about anything new one of the first things you can do to get a very strong grasp on a topic is learn the terminology used, and one of the easiest ways to learn about new terminology is to learn about the gear and other items commonly used. The page you are on will start its life as a glossary of sorts. Over time it will develop into a buyer’s guide that can help you get outfitted for different scenarios.
Bug-Out Bag (BOB): This is a pre-packed bag filled with essential items needed to survive for 72 hours when evacuating from a disaster. The one in the image here is a good starter kit but lacks some essentials, such as food and water purification. It does, however, include items that could be used to “get” food, such as fishing gear and various blades.
Everyday Carry (EDC): Refers to items that one carries on a daily basis, like a knife, flashlight, multi-tool, gun, etc. You should take time for your EDC setup and decide what is the right setup for you. These are the things you would carry with you on a daily basis to protect yourself and your family or help others in need. You will find a wide array of bags, holsters, sheaths, utility belts, and more.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment): A system used by the military, allowing for the attachment of various pieces of equipment to backpacks, vests, etc. In the image, you can see a backpack with many loops and straps, which are a small part of the MOLLE system.
