Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prevent my EDC gear from being stolen from my vehicle?

To prevent theft, avoid leaving your EDC items visible in your vehicle, including the trunk. If you must store items, keep them out of sight and avoid using attention-grabbing bags that might signal valuable contents.

What is the difference between Tier One and Tier Two EDC?

Tier One EDC refers to items carried directly on your person, like a pocket knife or flashlight. Tier Two EDC includes items carried in a pouch, sling bag, or backpack, offering redundancy and additional utility.

Is the Elite Tac flashlight worth buying for high-output needs?

No, the Elite Tac flashlight has been debunked. It does not produce the advertised lumens and is not capable of starting fires or cooking eggs as some claims suggest. It's considered a poor value for its price.

What are the pros and cons of the 5.11 Covert 18 2.0 bag?

The 5.11 Covert 18 2.0 is praised as an 'Urban Assault kit.' However, it can become bulky when loaded, and its CCW compartment is not as accessible or fast as one might expect for quick deployment.
