EDC for the Outdoors

Trail and yard carry leans on light, cutting, and resilient power. It is EDC with a little more reach and a little more ruggedness.

What matters most here

  • A light with real throw and runtime
  • A capable utility blade
  • Batteries you can source anywhere

Heads up · Match blade choice to local land and carry rules.
