Times of crisis, as it’s always been in our collective history, are times for our communities to think reflectively on how our individual actions can help positively impact our greater society. As we’ve seen in the news recently, acts of kindness, compassion and helpfulness are a hallmark of troubled times, and here at Pelican, we’d like to encourage the expansion of this mindset. This blog post is written for those who wish to increase their readiness and the readiness of their loved ones, so that if the situation presents itself, you have the ability to react and help another in need.
EDC has become an internet subculture, with enthusiasts trading ideas on what type of gear is most important, and what brands carry the best versions of those products deemed most essential. Sitting squarely in the middle of this conversation is Pelican Products - with our Personal Utility Cases providing a tailored made solution, Built to Protect your EDC gear in a crushproof, dust-proof and waterproof storage solution. Large enough to fit your critical gear and small enough to take with you everywhere. Here are some of the items in discussion for placement inside your EDC Case:
What would you add to this list? What would you remove? Perhaps this is why the EDC community has blossomed into a physical manifestation of our identity. A firefighter’s kit might look very different to what a farmer carries everyday with him - and thus the ongoing dialog of what items are included, what they’re used for and the frequency that having that tool comes in handy is a constantly debated thread across the internet.
Pelican manufactures two of the items on this list, tailor-made to be perfect editions to your EDC kit - below we dive deeper into the benefits of each
Pelican Ruck Cases - R20 ($44.95 MSRP) / R40 ($54.95 MSRP) / R60 ($64.95 MSRP): Large enough to fit your knife / phone / wallet / keys, yet small enough to easily be thrown in a bag or glove compartment - the Pelican Ruck Case is the natural evolution of our legendary Pelican Micro-Case.

If you’re still reading this blog post, it’s frighteningly obvious, that much like us - you know the gear that you keep in your kit matters. For those who like to be prepared for whatever might come our way, there is a tremendous amount of value in the peace of mind that comes from trusting that our gear will perform under pressure. Therefore we come full circle to the reason why being prepared is so important - so that we might, when called upon or when presented the opportunity, be able to better help our fellow citizens, neighbors, family members or community in their time of need through our own preparedness.
This statement has not recently rung as true as it does not in our current moment of national and international crisis. In the news we hear many comparisons to World War II which we find to be accurate to some degree, in that society is placing an increased responsibility upon all citizens. Do your part by following all directions from your officials and individually, invest in being more prepared to answer a call for help.
All Pelican items in this kit feature our legendary lifetime guarantee, so rest easy that this EDC kit will serve you for any scenario, whether out for a picnic on a pleasant day to a serious, unexpected event or natural disaster.
