Afternoon all,

Ive managed to get myself a 10l backpack, im looking to fit it out as and EDC, generally i am about a 20min drive from home when at work, however it is becoming more common for me to go out of the office, im looking to use this 10l backpack as an EDC to keep in the car, as it is always with me whenever i am further than walking distance from home, what do you guys think i should include?


Cheers

I guess in depends what you need I know the A3 down this way was a block of ice in the winter and there were so many cars scattered over the road it was nearly imposable to get through. The police were taking people to a sports centre for the night and stopping trafic. Some people were choosing to stay with their cars, I know I'd want to be well equipped (and I was, I drive all other the place for work and had no issues other then another car hitting my parked car when I was doing a job)

I can't believe you are giving out such bad advice. :o

Everyone knows it should be Salt & Vinegar or Prawn Cocktail flavour crisps. :P

Be lucky
