The EDC Outpost Story: Why We Provide Survival Gear for Urban and Wilderness Preparedness
Preparedness isn’t a hobby. It’s a responsibility.
When I set out on my own 50-day survival experience, my goal was simple: to strengthen my skills in wilderness survival, bushcraft, and everyday carry (EDC) preparedness. I expected to learn practical things — how to start a fire, purify water, build shelter. What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would change my perspective on life, community, and what it means to be truly ready.
During those weeks, I developed a deep love for the wilderness and the art of bushcraft. Carrying every drop of my water, building the fire I’d cook over, and sleeping in a shelter I made with my own hands — these experiences built not only skill, but gratitude. They also reminded me that urban and wilderness survival share the same core truth: every day, in one way or another, we are in a survival situation.
The most important thing I discovered? Preparedness isn’t just about protecting yourself. It’s about being ready to help your family, neighbors, and community when they need it most — whether during a power outage, a natural disaster, or a night in the backcountry.
That realization is why I started The EDC Outpost.
