EDC Kit Gets You Prepared for a Hard Knock Life

Kauffman Mercantile wants people to be prepared for when the worst goes down, so they decided to create the convenient travel-friendly EDC Kit.

The EDC Kit is kind of like a Swiss Army knife, but it's a lot simpler. So what does it pack? The kit has a pry bar (mini crow bar basically) that will prick, score, cut and lift different objects. It has a 1-inch capsule lighter that's waterproof and airtight sealed so that no water enters and no lighter fluid leaves. The EDC also has the standard screwdriver (Phillips head and a flat head) and precision tweezers for pulling out splinters -- or eyebrow hair, I don't judge.

The kit is small, handy and packs the basic essentials that should help you out in times of need.
