I have several of these Maxpedition Organizers that I used inside my Maxpedition Falcon II backpack. I found that using these to color code, classify, and store smaller items are very convenient in a larger pack. Also, I found the little round Maxpedition tactical can case is the perfect size to store a Headlamp. Never tried the Maxpedition TacTie's, just use either the Blackhawk Speed-clips or the Vanquest Molle-Sticks.

That AAA battery, at 7:51, will fit inside of that Maxpedition tag at the top of the pouch, behind the leatherman. I use it for a single AAA in all of my Maxpedition pouches.

I have a suggestion. @5:28 I have found round, flat make up removing pads at dollar stores. Around 80-100 for $1. I put Vaseline in them middle and fold them. Just make sure it isn't enough to squish out. They hold enough Vaseline to light a fire easily and they take up less room than cotton balls.
@SergioMartinez-xv9tt3 жыл бұрын
That sounds really smart
@mistermedic89632 жыл бұрын
You can also use Backtracking instead of Vaseline. Works for fire, but can also serve as a part of your boo boo kit. Dual use.

I use the Micro as a dedicated EDC IFAK. I keep it as skinny as possible. Right now it fits comfortably in my jeans back pocket. In it I have : SWAT-T tourniquet, 2 gauze pads, 25g quikclot sponge, nitrile gloves, 3 alcohol swabs, folded duct tape, an ibuprofen tablet and various sized band-aids. All of my band-aids and gauze pads are in ziploc bags. As it is now it is thinner than my wallet (which I keep in my side pocket).

I'd recommend packing the batteries into a small closable plastic bag. Some moisture will eventually make it into the pouch and may cause the contact-seams of the cells to corrode. The plastic bag will help with extending their lifetime in that regard significantly... and also can be reused for different appliances.

One thing you could add to the pack is a 32 Gb Flash drive. In case you have to leave you house imminently, You can have valuable files backed up like family photos, or Citizen legal papers, to legal gun licences. Have important and meaningful files backed up somewhere.

@MrMkd12028 жыл бұрын
At first, I thought this guy was out to lunch with these multiple EDC's and preparation backpacks. I had thought to myself that nothing is ever going to happen that would require this much concerted effort. However, after seeing reports earlier this year that hackers used malware to cause a utility outage in the Ukraine, it woke me up to the real possibility that the United States is susceptible to something similar. Future terrorist attacks may not be a plane flying into buildings or a bomb made from fertilizer to blow up a building in Oklahoma City. What would I do if hackers from a group destined on destroying the USA took it upon themselves to created a utility outage? Well, when I researched it, I found out that they already are trying....everyday....millions of times a day! So it no longer became a question of if they are successful, but when they are successful. The energy company BP says it suffers 50,000 attempts of cyberintrusion a day. The Pentagon reports getting 10 million attempts a day. The National Nuclear Security Administration, an arm of the Energy Department, also records 10 million hacks a day. The state of Utah alone says it faces 20 million attempts a day, up from 1 million a day two years ago. These are crazy numbers!! As I researched further I reminded myself that not only are cyber threats a reality, but so is the deteriorating condition of our infrastructure in the United States. Remember that Northeast blackout of 2003? Almost the entire state of New York lost power. Affected areas lost water pressure because pumps lacked power. All trains running into and out of New York City were shut down. Many gas stations were unable to pump fuel due to lack of electricity. Many oil refineries on the East Coast of the United States shut down as a result of the blackout. Communications (cell service/cable tv) well outside the immediate area of power outage were affected. Large numbers of factories were closed in the affected area. Imagine if this happened for days or weeks or months. You couldn't keep food cold, you couldn't cook, you wouldn't have potable water. What happens when people rely solely on these things being provided to them? People get thirsty, they get hungry and they will do whatever it takes to feed themselves and their families. Things would go from bad to worse, in a New York minute. Moral of the story, I was like many people who watch these videos that I assume see it as a novelty and possibly don't partake in the effort to prepare for something like what happened in New York or the Ukraine. But, when that day comes and you've done nothing, you may not think you will do unspeakable things to get what you need, but you will. So take the burden off of yourself and your family to rely on others to take care of you. Take it upon yourself to rely on yourself for sustainability in the event of catastrophe.

I've only had one Maxpedition and I returned it because I just couldn't fit much of anything in it. It was advertised as an inch thick, but I couldn't squeeze in even two Altoid's tins. They certainly are "durable" but I found them to be unusable. The purpose of having a pouch is to put stuff in it--but I couldn't really put anything in it. There was actually more room if I turned it inside out (with the zipper handles on the inside). I'd like to see Maxpedition go back to the drawing board because it's clearly durable design, I just would like to see it become usable. I get a big charge out of your videos for the contents.

Hi Sensible Prepper, I have watched your video with interest. It's fascinating. However, I don't understand the need for all this gear, particularly the duplication of some things. With the greatest of respect, I'm having difficulty understanding the 'preppers' mentality. Just what is everyone preparing for? I live in the UK and although there is some interest in this subject, it seems for most, to stop at outdoor gear and bushcraft equipment. I would understand if you were living in war zone or an unstable country. The US doesn't seem to come into that category. best wishes, Norrie

goldilocks prepping goes beyond “the end of the world.” Extreme storms, I live in a tornado area. So I have back packs full of gear in food for my family Incase of a quick evacuation. I also live in a cold state, so in the event that power might go out it gets cold in our houses. You never know. Prepping is just that, the unknown and unpredictable.

Sootch, can you elaborate on why you are so concerned with fire-starting? (Preferably in a soon to come video. It'll be practically free to make.) Not to say it's unimportant, but you have many multiple fire starting tools in everything you seem to make. However, I don't see any axes, large fixed blade knives, or saws that can fell a tree, so what are you setting on fire? (Burning vaseline cotton balls won't help you cook food if you got no wood.) I'd love to just interview you and get a deeper understanding of your thinking on these kits.
