Very good, small EDC. Smart choices. I would recommend just one more item....iodine tablets, like potable aqua. If I have to walk any distance at all, safe water becomes paramount and without a vessel to boil it, I need some way to sanitize it. With your kit, I could filter it with the bandana into the small water bottle you provided, then pop in a potable aqua to sanitize it and in 30 minutes, I have safe water. Well thought-out EDC and affordable to nearly anyone.

In your set up a little heavy aluminum foil for boiling water will fold up flat and pack in the container. Even foil from baking pans can be cut and folded once to unfold and boil water.

vasoline to help start fires or help with minor wounds and the smallest bottle of 100% pure tea tree or lavender oil to dissinfect minor wounds, splinters etc.. also stops rashes and good on insect bites.. either oil. one birthday candle or one tealight candle (with a good wick) to help light fires and a rubber band. sharpens best poker chip knife sharpener. duct tape and cotton balls .. for blisters on feet and also help start fires.

So nice to see you again and learn something new! I recently made the decision to equip my young relatives who drive with an emergency bag for their cars. I have gathered items from thrift stores and other inexpensive sources over the years and have enough to share. I like your idea of an EDC box, though. I guess that’s next to do in my list! Thanks!

@toddjackson3136 Күн бұрын

I had to remind myself that my EDC was NOT a get home bag. I keep a get home bag in my vehicle in case something happens and I can't drive straight home. My EDC is for dealing with small emergencies & daily tasks while I'm away from my vehicle. I keep one at my desk at work and a smaller one that fits in my pocket for when I'm in the field. One of the things I added to my desk EDC was imodium or pepto tablets, as well as benadryl and advil. I found that contact cases work well for small pills. I just write on the lid what's in it.

Excellent presentation. A few comments. __ Use a Sharpie to write "WW" on the Wizzy Wipes to distinguish them from candy. __ Put a zip tie around the lighter to keep it from accidentally pressed and release butane. Don't cut the extra end off too close (sometimes they slip with pressure). Instead, melt a short piece (using a soldering iron or clothes iron) to form a blob on the end. __ A headlight is helpful since it is hands free. The Dollar Tree sells one that is very bright but not adjustable (doesn't aim well when worn on a cap). Sometimes Lowes or Home Depot sell a three pack for around $10. __ Note: many paracord packages call it 550 but it is only rated for 150 lbs or less. __ Napkins are thicker and stronger than a bandana. Old pillow cases can be made into bandanas. The Dollar Tree bandanas are 100% polyester.

Great video!! I would add water purification tabs or some sort of filter along with benydral. Allergic reactions can kill people. Two benydral might keep someone alive. I would add several different sizes of FABRIC bandaids. They stick so much better. The plastic ones slide right off if they get too wet. In closing...I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOUR FIRST YEAR MULLEIN behind you! Good going!! I've got the seeds. I see it all on the side of the rode. I need to get movin on that. Again, great video!!

Great project! I would put a couple of very strong rubber or cable bands around it and then you can use a small bungee cord that you can attach to the bands to easily carry the case. I am not sure how comfortable that small case would be to carry for a longer walk but hanging it on you with the bungee would keep your hands free. The bands and cord would then be a bonus for making a tent out of the blanket. I appreciate your content!

Those are great ideas! Definitely needed in each of my family's vehicles. One concern I have is keeping bottled water, snack bars, etc. that are perishable and keeping them in a vehicle when the temperature can be over 100. I live in the south and the summers are brutal. Snack bars would likely melt, and water in plastic bottles would become undrinkable because of the hot plastic. For that reason, I haven't kept any liquids or perishable foods in the car. Jerky is a great idea though. Canned sardines would likely not work either so I feel stuck. What to do?

Nice video, Thanks for sharing. To me, EDC (Everyday Carry) are items that you carry "on your person" (in your pockets, on your belt etc) every day. Unless you wear a backpack every day, this kit doesn't really fall into an EDC category, does it? It's a nice kit for a vehicle or even a bicycle or motorcycle. But not something I would carry on my person every day.

@PREPSTEADERS 2 күн бұрын

You make a very good point! These could not be feasibly carried on your person every day like say, a small Altoids Tin sized EDC or such. I was thinking of all the possible people and scenarios I could when making these, and they are at least small enough to fit comfortably in everything from a desk drawer at work to locker at school, in every vehicle and strapped on a bike...or into a large fanny pack or purse. Certainly there are different types of EDC. I have some life-saving essentials I keep in my purse that are not on my person at all times, but I would call those EDC. Hmmmm. I'll have to give what you have said, some thought. Thank you!!
