EDC Hank - Pocket Dump Storage Compartment Handkerchief
The EDC Hank is a 2-layer cotton ripstop handkerchief — approx. 12" x 12" (Standard) or 6" x 6" (Mini) — with a large storage pocket built in between the two layers, a subdued hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure and a 550lb paracord pull for quick access to the pocket and as a loop to hang. Use it as a standard hank to wipe up spills, grasp hot equipment or check a motor oil dipstick, and use the pocket for small pocket dump items, survival supplies, tinder and kindling, or foraged items. Material/Pattern sets the fabric color (First Available means no color/pattern preference), Size sets Standard (12x12) or Mini (6x6), Liner None (standard) adds no liner, Add Waterproof (White) Liner adds a waterproof liner so the pouched hank will temporarily float and repel water, and Add Florescent (Safety Orange) Liner adds a water-resistant orange ripstop liner that works as a signal marker when the hank is inverted and as a bright work mat. Even with the waterproof liner, the hank itself is not waterproof: the sewn borders and Velcro closure make it very water resistant rather than waterproof, and it will hold water for 5+ minutes but will slowly leak. Machine wash with detergent or hand wash with warm water and soap; dry on medium heat or hang to dry.
"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"
Storage Pocket
A large pocket built in between the two fabric layers holds small pocket dump items, survival supplies, tinder and kindling, or foraged items.
Hook-and-Loop Closure
Subdued Velcro tape keeps items inside the hank and doesn't interfere with folding it into your pocket for EDC.
Paracord Pull
A 550lb paracord pull gives quick access to the pocket and doubles as a loop to hang the hank.
Standard Hank
The soft cotton ripstop wipes up spills, works as a tissue, grasps hot equipment and checks a motor oil dipstick.
Optional Liners
The waterproof white liner helps keep gear dry for kayaking and boating, and the fluorescent safety orange liner works as a signal marker when the hank is inverted.

VETERAN-MADE CONCEALED EDC
Survival gear hidden inside a morale patch. Hand-built by a Special Ops veteran outside Fort Bragg.
Superesse started in 2014 with Wesley — a US Army Special Operations Command veteran with SERE and unconventional warfare training — making paracord bracelets for his team as a morale boost. The bracelets became wearable survival kits, integrating flashlights, fire-starters, fishing tackle, and whistles into a single strap. Today Superesse is run by Wesley and his wife Diana out of North Carolina near Fort Bragg — still a husband-and-wife shop, still handmade, still built on the assumption that the gear you need most is the gear you happen to be wearing.
- Founded in 2014
- Veteran and Law Enforcement owned and operated
- Husband-and-wife team — handmade production
- Based in North Carolina near Fort Bragg
- Specialized in paracord straps, hidden-compartment patches, and concealed EDC
Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
How is this made and where does it ship from?
Superesse Straps LLC is a veteran and law enforcement owned husband-and-wife shop based in North Carolina near Fort Bragg. Superesse says nearly everything is made in their home and gear is handmade to order in small release batches. Some components come from other makers, named on the product page where Superesse names them. Orders ship directly from Superesse, so delivery can take longer than items SRO stocks.
How long does shipping take?
Most in-stock orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, not counting weekends and federal holidays. Special-order, dealer-direct, custom, and LYNX Survival Systems orders can take longer. Lead times shown on product pages are estimates, not guarantees.
Typical carrier transit after that: Economy 5 to 7 business days, Expedited 2 to 3, Overnight 1. These are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Some items, such as lithium batteries, aerosols, and safety matches, may be limited to ground shipping.
Free Economy shipping on qualifying orders over $150 to the contiguous US, on eligible products. Oversized, heavy, freight, hazardous-material, dealer-direct, custom-built, and special-order items may be excluded. Oversized and freight items, such as rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and Pro Eagle products, may carry extra shipping charges. If extra charges apply, we'll let you know before the order ships.
Some items ship directly from the manufacturer or a supplier partner on their own schedule, so an order can arrive in more than one package with more than one tracking number. Full details: Shipping Policy.
What’s your return policy?
You have 30 days from receiving your order to request a return on eligible items. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com with your order number, the item, and the reason, and wait for return authorization before you ship anything back. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.
Items must come back in like-new condition: unused, unmodified, unworn, unwashed, and free of odors, dirt, stains, pet hair, and damage, with all original packaging, manuals, accessories, and tags, plus proof of purchase.
For standard parcel items, you pay return shipping unless the return is due to our error, shipping damage, or a verified defect. If we provide a prepaid label, its cost may be deducted from your refund. For oversized, freight, dealer-direct, and special-order items, you pay return shipping unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect. Original shipping charges aren't refunded. Some items may carry a restocking fee of up to 15%, and we'll tell you during authorization.
Some items are fulfilled by third-party suppliers and follow that supplier's return policy, so eligibility, refund timing, return shipping, and restocking fees may differ.
Approved refunds go to your original payment method. Allow up to 10 business days after approval, and your bank may take longer to post it. Full details: Return & Refund Policy.
What can’t I return?
These can't be returned or refunded, except where the law requires it:
- Engraved, personalized, customized, and built-to-order products, and special-order products obtained specifically for you
- LYNX Survival Systems survival kits, custom IFAKs, and custom medical kits
- Agency, government, organizational, and contract-built orders
- Gift cards, and sale or clearance items marked final sale

Not sure whether an item qualifies? Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com before you order.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other U.S. territories aren't eligible for free shipping, and extra freight charges may apply. If your order needs a shipping quote, we'll contact you before it ships. If you decline the quote, the order may be canceled and refunded. APO/FPO addresses are also excluded from free shipping.
International shipping is available on select products and destinations, and some products may be restricted from international shipping. You're responsible for import duties, taxes, customs fees, brokerage fees, and meeting your country's import rules.
Full details: Shipping Policy.
My package arrived damaged. What now?
Inspect your order when it arrives. If anything is damaged, defective, or wrong, email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery (5 days for food and drink) with your order number, a short description, and photos of the item and the packaging.
You don't pay return shipping on items that arrived damaged or wrong, or with a verified defect. Some items fulfilled by third-party suppliers follow that supplier's policy instead. Reporting after 7 days may limit our ability to pursue a claim with the carrier, and while we may help with a carrier claim, approval is up to the carrier.
Package lost or never arrived? Contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date. For freight deliveries, inspect the shipment before you sign and note any visible damage on the carrier's delivery receipt.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Call (562) 294-6269, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific time, or email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com. We reply within one business day.
We'd rather talk you out of a kit that doesn't fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, and first responders, including law enforcement, fire, and EMS, can save up to 10% on most of our products through GovX ID.
Verify on our GovX discount page and you'll get a single-use code to enter at checkout. For later orders, log in with GovX ID for a new code (limit one code per day). The GovX code can't be combined with other discounts.
