Hey guys! Today I’m sharing the essential items I use in my EDC (everyday carry) kits. Hopefully this motivates you to build your own edc. Forgot to mention having a pen. I always have a pen on me.

In the video I mentioned a bee sting. Do not use tweezers to remove the stinger. Scrape it with a credit card. Use the tweezers for things like a splinter, plucking your eyebrows etc.

honestly having an EDC kit (or whatever people want to call it for themselves) is a lifesaver. It's when you don't have it and something happens, when you REALLY wish you had prepared! For example, traveling (by car, bus, plane whatever) and then you get SICK!? oh god. the pain and inconvenience...or even just being out and about doing errands and you don't feel good and need something (like a quick advil or pepto bismol tablet) to get you through the day until you get home - truly lifesavers. Shout out to your Bob Ross tin!!!

My father is an army veteran. When I went to college for my biology degree and we had field trips, I was better prepared than my professor because of my father 😂 One of my classmates was unaware that she was allergic to a plant. She got a really bad rash that could have gotten worse if I hadn't been carrying benadryl allergy spray. I also kinda saved another girl's underwear because I made the habit of carrying around at least three menstrual pads with me even when I don't need them. You never know. After that, everyone would come to me if anything happened. I don't have a dedicated EDC bag, but I do carry around wet wipes, a small first aid kit, toilet seat covers, those little travel bottles of sunscreen and insect repelent, a glasses repair kit since I wear glasses and it's not the first time one of the screws have gotten lose, toothpicks with floss, and gum in my purse whenever I go out. I forgot to add that I also carry electrolytes and plain sugar packets (this recommended to me by my sister who is a nurse) I have old empty pencil cases with zippers. Maybe I can use those to make a dedicated EDC kit to include in my bug out bag.

And random stuff, like a cute small box cutter, safety pins, tiny soap sheets, clips, tooth picks with floss, a small phone stand, cable ties, ziplock ties, little plastic bags (like trashcan liners - but I might consider the doggy bags now!).

If you wear glasses those tiny glasses repair kits are helpful...they have extra screws and nose pads as well as a tiny screwdriver. Also prepackaged lens wipes and/or a microfiber cleaning cloth are helpful. Just a note to anyone who carries extra medication or OTC medications, don't leave them in your car. Extremes in heat or cold will destroy them.

I found some tiny tiger balm tins. Since balm works on the same principle as TENS, those are great for emergency pain relieving. They're hard, maybe impossible to find in my country, so I've bought them when I've found them in Thailand.

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur There's one size of the original tiger balm. I've heard fight gyms sometimes stock these. Most of mine are of a different brand that's local to Thailand. I think it's called golden cup. Those are sometimes stocked at pharmacies, while the oroginal tiger balm tin I found at one particular 7 Eleven last time.

@@TheHandbagConnoisseur BTW, one reason balms are so readily available in Thailand is because they can be used on mosquito bites. Some are even green, with drawing of a mosquito on the lid.

I ended up in charge of the "bad boys' who were hi gh spirited. They would also fight to carry my bag for me.
