Now Available for Preorder — Common-Sense Everyday Carry

A Practical System for What You Should Carry Every Day

Most EDC content falls into one of two camps — generic "10 things to carry" lists, or gear-obsessed loadouts that turn everyday carry into a costume.

Common-Sense Everyday Carry takes a different approach. Author Jim Cobb — who has spent roughly 40 years studying and writing about preparedness, authored a dozen books on the subject, and contributed nearly 1,000 articles to publications including RECOIL OFFGRID, American Survival Guide, and Field & Stream — breaks EDC down into a three-layer system anyone can adapt to their own life:

• On-body — what you carry in your pockets or on your belt

• Off-body — what you carry in a bag or pack

• Vehicle — what stays in your car to get you home or keep you safe until help arrives

Each chapter covers a specific category — knives, flashlights, first aid, tools, electronics, fire and water gear, and more — with guidance on what to choose, how to use it, and which brands are actually worth buying.

$24.99. Preorder now — expected to ship late July 2026.
