The twists and turns of life can be very unexpected at times. And while we’d never wish for anyone to be caught in an emergency, self-defense, or survival situation, we also know better than to think it impossible – especially with the recurrence of increasingly dangerous natural disasters and the questionable geo-political climate. There are, however, some little things an individual can do to prepare themselves for the worst of times – like carry around a comprehensive complement of everyday carry gear. Take, for instance, this week’s pocket dump. These rough and ready items are of the kind of quality and effectiveness that would certainly give you a leg-up in a pinch, be that during a disaster scenario or otherwise. Carry this kind of gear in your pockets and you just might be ready to tackle anything.
