EDC 4. Shelter 

One area that people seem to be blissfully unprepared when leaving the house, to my annoyance. I'm also going to start with two items that are not usually talked about, that are often overlooked.
To paraphrase a Nordic saying, there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

- Take a long-sleeve jumper, jersey, hoodie or light jacket with you, even if it's warm. It may  not stay that way, weather can change. If it's warm or hot you can protect yourself from the sun if outside for extended periods in an emergency.
- Wear shoes!!! Or at least pack a light pair of trainers in your bag, car or desk. Flip flops (thongs in Australia) are useless in an emergency and will let you down. 
- Carry a plastic poncho or emergency blanket, they are tiny, light but very useful.
- A handkerchief or bandanna in your pocket could be used as a bandage, to protect your head from the sun or to cover your mouth in a fire or chemical event.
