I hope you all enjoy this latest installment of the Urban Altoids EDC Kit (Version 4.0)! Make sure you check out the PDF that matches up to this video: bit.ly/2L9ZoHe. Special shout out to musician Peter Adams for creating the MacGyver theme song knock-off and Terry Huddleston for the artwork on the sticker. Stay tuned for information on how you can purchase one of these custom kits. We're trying to get the cost lower than what I would cost to purchase all of the individual items for retail. Thank you all for your support of my channel! ~Cliff

Cops: What all do you have in your pockets? This guy: sigh... This is gonna take a while...

i always carry a pink mini bic lighter, they last much longer then any other color..... because no one walks off with them!

Awesome, as usual. One of these days someone’s going to include an emergency breath mint in their Altoid tin.

It's been 3 years we need version 5 to be released.

Alright you got me, that Runs In Your Genes/Jeans joke was so stone-cold deadpan serious I bought it for a minute. Well played sir

One of my favorite EDC videos thus far. Thorough, comprehensive, concise, and chock full of ideas to glean even if I don't sign up for the complete "Altoid tetris" affair. You "earned your money" on this one, and another subscriber.

Your kits are art. Unrivaled, unmatched, and just darn cool!

Wow, you've put a tremendous amount of thought into this latest kit. Guess that's what happens when you're noodling around a concept for 10 years! Thank you for sharing. My only substantive comments are: 1) a white Bic mini has the advantage of allowing you to see the remaining fuel level as it's semi translucent, and 2) you and your viewers might also enjoy another micro gadget/prepping channel: MeZillch. He also scratches that OCD/MacGuyver itch that I find so enticing!

I live in Caracas, Venezuela, I have been following you for years, you have an excellent channel. I remember when in your EDC version 2.1 you talked about our country, and believe me when I tell you that the conditions here have not improved, on the contrary, they have worsened. Certainly an EDC like that is very useful for us, unfortunately for us it is extremely difficult to acquire the items to assemble it, our salary is only about 3 to 10 dollars a month. Congratulations again for your channel. I wish you success, regards.

on the first day of the zombie break out, I saw a male dead on the road side, clutching on an unopened Altoids tin, guess he really likes sweets.

Love to watch this every few months 😊

This is kind of surreal, I’ve been watching your ASK videos for years. I remember watching the first versions while running on a treadmill during lunch breaks back at my job in Iowa years ago... now I’m watching this at a barber shop waiting for a haircut in Florida. Nice kit

I recently had the idea that another option for a pocket kit is a cigarette case. They’re similar in size and some of them even have build in lighters. I also just think they’re cooler looking. Plus having the items vertical rather than horizontal should make it easier to get stuff in and out. I’m not sure if they’ll hold quite as much, but it seems like a decent trade-off to me.

I really appreciate these videos. Your previous kits inspired me to make my own kits. I don’t own a car and travel by bike, scooter, bus, and foot a lot, so I put a whole first aid kit in an Altoids and it has been clutch. I keep it in a slightly larger things I need on the go kit. Your kits always inspire me to tweak mine and keep them efficient!

Great to see an update to the Urban Altoids EDC kit. It's one of my favourite kits of yours. Also when you start selling them please consider international shipping

as always crazy Tetris , neat freak , borderline obsessive , very cool in all

Excellent Prepper Tetris Skills . Very good choices for a Non government collapse suburban areas. Or natural Disaster. Nail clippers prevent future injuries and infections. Anyone insulting them are not true preppers.

Hi. Great work! I suggested some time ago, that adding a hand-sewing needle and few feet of a strong thin thread (which can still be used in regular needles in regular sewing machines), and a couple of shirt buttons would be a very nice addition and will not take up any space at all, you can keep them in the MISC tin. Plus I find that keeping a 1 meter paper-based measuring tape from ikea very nice, which will go nicely in this tin , or your wallet. Oh btw Nail Clippers are must for humans. I don't understand people insulting them or you for having a nail clipper. I always have one in my pocket/keychain. Even a simple thing as nail clipper has multiple uses. Also useful to keep the nails of my kids in groomed state. Also helpful in cutting a slice of skin off if there is a shin sliver along the skin. fI also use it to file/smooth out broken nails in case a it breaks accidentally during some work, and is causing the regular annoyance. I also think that selling these tin kits would not be a great idea financially (or even time wise) , as there are very few buyers. Besides, you have shown how to make it ourselves and have open-sourced the list of items, so people can simply buy the stuff themselves and can build one themselves, that would be actually more cost effective for them. Here is the link to strong sewing thread: www.stoffogstil.no/sytilbehor/trad/bjornetrad-150-m

When you start selling these I will buy some for my cars, man bag, buddies. Funny story I made a couple of these (my version) and sent one to my buddy. He needed a safety pin and remembered there was one in the kit I sent him. He called me to say thanks that the kit came in handy when he least expected it. Your a star Cliff, shine on.

It's ridiculous to me how handy my kit has been over time. I really appreciate the ideas and list to order.

One day you'll squeeze whole tent in one of those tins....lol

when are you going to start selling these?

Nail clippers, sanitizer and dental floss are probably the only hygiene items I always make sure are ready to go. All three keep you disease free ish. All three have multi function. All three serve morale. PS did you know that Swiss Army makes a pretty cool multi - smal nail clipper, scissor, blade, tweezer and pick pocket tool? It’s about the size of a 1/4” thick USB drive - might fit perfectly in there and save you some space?

Okay, bonus points for the MacGuiver theme.

THANK YOU! my 12 year old adores MacGyver old and new and when I showed her this video she immediately wanted to watch it! She has been on and off with prepping, but after my wife got on board, she got more into it. I love the pouch you have! On a personal note, my initiation to prepping is watching Mad Max 3 and there's an inset shot of Gibson's fingernails. They were filthy and long. I've been a big believer in having clippers with me at all times since then.

I'm stealing some of your EDC ideas and I'm absolutely stealing the "runs in your jeans" joke. Good work.

Great idea to use magnets to hold everything in place - thanks for sharing. I'm not superstitious, so I always carry a white mini-BIC to see, how much fuel is in there and I detach the child-safe clip. To help prevent accidental release, I grind the release lever, 'til it's not sticking out any more - and put on a cover of small innertube, great for fire starting. Instead of nail clippers, which leave a sharp edge that I always catch on something, I carry a nail file, ground to size - if you use it wet, you can touch up your blades too. In the medical/MISC- compartment I carry at least 4 water purification tablets and in the tin one or two 1 quart plastic bags.

I love how his voice got so passionate over the nail clippers because other people didn’t like it lmao

9:49 I have a Sim removal tool and three other items that fill the same need... wait what?

I used to stockpile Altoids tins for making kits just like these. You have no idea how excited I was to find these videos......now to go out to the shed and find those tins

There's always room for a razer blade:) also, for Urban EDC you could switch to the 4mm bits & fit more of them. Wiha sells that 1/4 -> 4mm adapter. I do agree on the nail clipper; I've carried the Swiss army nail clipper for years! Also, I like to carry a bit of that poster putty stuff & a threaded needle. Finally, I found a small wallet that fits Altoids at Staples.

The intro and outro were enough for me to like this video!!! And of course, is one of your videos Cliff, can't dislike a TUP video with such high production value!! Hope you're doing well, take care!!!

I'm also excited to see the edc tin videos. Love the MacGyver theme song.

Ahh, MacGyver - I knew it sounded familiar. Though I miss the Richard Dean Anderson version of the show.

Nice EDC. Mine would be a bit different. I would include in my Altoids a sleeping bag, water bottle, and Scarlet Johansson.

Retired Contractor, 2 x kids in college, I always have a tool belt in the truck that will do most things, car/boat/whatever in an emergency. But have often found myself without my truck, kids dorm rooms etc, where I am headed to HD because I am unarmed for the task. Your combo screwdriver/bits/MOST IMPORTANT the ones that you include that fit IKEA, and most other assembly furniture would have saved me many times over. Personally I would would just add a #1 phillips bit (works on lots of furniture/chairs etc) and a few more torx bits. Very nice Video, thank you.

If you start selling this, i will buy no questions asked

The belt clip kills me 😂 I do carry one of these often. I have three young kids and anytime I go to an amusement park or anywhere for that matter what I'm going to be out all day I carry one that has things I may need, a couple of pieces of toilet paper, a few different types of medicine, a Gerber dime, a lighter, and a few other things. It's a super great idea and comes in handy almost every single time I have it. I also have one that's quite a bit bigger that I keep in my backpack that has things like water purification tablets, snare wire, fishing hooks, a thermal blanket, etc and is more geared towards actual survival. I'm pretty sure though, the first time ever saw this idea was on your channel a few years ago. Keep up the good work.

Amazing how much you can fit there. The regular bits are rather big though, you could consider using the Leatherman Bit Kit, which are probably half size of the normal bits, have two ends each, and there's an extender for them as well. The Leatherman Bit Driver or the Bit Extender do not fit the Style multi-tools, but at least help a bit (pun intended). You can actually fit such a bit in the handle of the Style multi-tool. My essentials always include a 20 liter trash bag (with handles), which folds crazy small, and/or several 1-3 liter freezer bags, which fold even smaller. Tie up with a small rubber band, which has many uses as well. It's always fun to see people's expression when someone asks for a plastic bag and you hand them a folded plastic bag the size of your thumbnail, but it opens up to a full-sized bag.

Thanks TheUrbanPrepper for the clips and especially for the attached pdf document it makes it way easy to find items

I love the MacGyver theme in the intro. Cool, video! I was waiting for the next version of the tin update.

I choose to believe that you did the bit on the Imodium all in one take and with a complete straight face.

Very best EDC video in a very loooooong time - and it works with magnets - and a gazillion extra kudos for the musical theme - THE best theme for EDC come to think of it - for those in the know - enjoyed very much

Awesome evolution but I get the feeling someone is not going to approve of this message...

First off love the theme music in the background (me and my dad are big fans of the orginal). Second you got me into making these tins and i love it. Thanks for the tip on where to get the magnets big help. Keep on keepin on man.

Man you deserve the thumbs up for that MacGyver cover alone. Also I definitely want a bunch of those tins i had no idea that they existed.

EMERGENCY IMODIUM A.D., for diarrhea, "It 'Runs in your jeans'".... LMAO! That's an understatement I guess... HA!

Very Cool, I was very happy to see that there was an update to your kits. I do enjoy watching them and seeing what you come up with. I would love to see new mini and standard EDC kits for non-Urban situations.

Your carry pouch is my favorite part. Second favorite is the magnet setup and bike wrench set.

Men, I live in Caracas, Venezuela, and I can definitely can use it... We have cities also you know ! And urban areas ... we do t live in the stone age ... These people my God !

Always a pleasure to see your new ideas in action.

Always love your vids! Especially the fact that you take the time to create the pdf! You’re awesome! 👍🏼

Excellent video & content. Many thanks for sharing this with us and for your EDC passion that shines through on your channel. keep up the great work. 👍

Side project - a Cub Scout leader EDC, everything you need for a pack camp 😃

Would you please consider making an updated video!?!?!!?😍

Your belt pouch is meticulously made.What a beauty!!

I just came back from Seattle and it is a lot closer to Caracas, Venezuela than you think !!!

You’re awesome. As I see how long you’ve been at this, and then started filming, I really appreciate all the time you put in to educate us. Great channel, thanks for all you do, hope you and the fam are doing splendid.

Great guide! The accompanying PDF with links to much of what's in your kit was a HUGE help in tracking down parts I wanted to add to my own kit. Thanks!

Oh dang, Terry Huddleston! I bought a couple prints from him at I think Dallas ComiCon 2014 and could never remember who he was or figure out how to search for him. Thanks for the synchronicity of his involvement! Haha.

Urban Prepper, you're awesome! I've been binge watching your videos and getting some great ideas for improving my own preps. Thanks!

The intro music reminds me of when the teacher would wheel in the TV and video to the classroom 😂

Very cool kit. A downside of wearing it on the belt in that position is that it blocks access to your pocket.

Can't wait until you start selling these!

What's wrong with feeling and looking like Batman?? lol Great video! I always come back to see what you've updated to your tins. Been watching for a few years now. You've helped me get into edc and have definitely given me some good edc ideas. Thank you.

Gave you an thumbs up just for the Macgyver Theme song! Favorite show as a kid. Got into Swiss army knives because of that show.

I've got some tiny 2"x3" ziplock bags of ibuprofen, benadryl, aspirin, a leatherman micra, a thrunight, a bic mini, nail clippers, bandaids

Love the intro music MacGyver theme. Great EDC kit.

Namaste from India . I always likes your Update Urban Altoids EDC Kit Version. That Belt pouch look gr8 . Thanks

I've watched a lot of these altoid edc kits videos and by far this one is the best!

.I would just write to say thank you. Thank you for giving the best EDC advice on the net. I have learned such a huge amount from your excellent uploads to KZfaq and PDF documents.

love the McGyver intro :-). As usual - probably the most comprehensive EDC Urban kits based on an Altoids Tin. Love Your videos - a lot of my EDC is based on Your suggestions.

Awesome, just downloaded the PDF File. Thank you for sharing and providing the file so we can make out own kits!!

Nice use of magnets 🧲 I think the tech gadgets make a lot of sense for the urban environment. My favorite by far is the ratchet, so versatile!

I've added a craftsman jewelry screwdriver to mine... the driver bits disappear into the mini-tins and the handle squeezes in nicely.

I carry nail clippers too. They are a great addition imho

As expected, that's the most refined and expertly done version yet. Very nice!

Nice update Cliff! Keep up the great ideas!!

The intro was very Foo Fighters “Big Me” Mentos 😂 I loved it! 👍 Great info, as always. Thanks!

Good. you just gave me an idea for a mini fire kit. I have one of those mini Altoids tins that's been floating around my junk drawer... thanks.

Good little set up. we do a small pack kit for SHTF scenarios that is designed for when things get tough and you need to find food but town isn't too safe. It includes snares, pliers, small emergency can openers, fire starter, shelter and bunch of other things. I may put one together for you to demo if your willing.

nice. fun fact, I carry the style PS and you can use the little scissors as nail clippers. they actually do a pretty good job. learned that from a backpacking subreddit.

Another awesome video, my friend! Great to see an update to the altoids tin 😁 I love it! Really great idea to start selling them

Loved the MacGyver tune! 🤣 My favorite childhood TV show. ☺️

Love the return of the lighter. I carry one inspired by your earlier versions and may/will have to update now!

You could probably glue a vinyl or plastic credit card insert used for wallets to the top of the lid if you wanted to store more information like additional phone numbers, the stamps, or the dollar bills.

BTW, this is off subject and you probably know about it, but just in case, Central WA Univ has a YT channel with some very interesting and well done geology lectures about the PC states. If that subject intrigues you they are great videos.

Ready to buy one today

Im always amazed how much little nick-nacks you can store in an altoids tin! The magnets are genius!

Haven't checked the comments to see if this has been brought up yet, but you should replace your 1/4" bits with Leatherman bits. They are double sided and flat, so you should be able to almost double your capabilities for the same form factor. Also they work with your existing ratchet and driver!

Please do international shipping whenever u start selling them!

How do you utilize the nail? I didn’t see a micro hammer anywhere.

God knows what leads me to these videos at 5:30am on night shift, but I kinda love this haha

Laugh about carrying nail clippers, but they're so handy to have!

Very nice idea. I'm thinking M. Poppins? I'm often made fun of for all that i carry in my pockets, wallet and keys. One thing I carry is hearing protection. Westone sells a product called Defendears. The orange hunter version works nice. I like to be prepared.

Won’t the magnets mess with the Memory Card?

I loved the kit as well as the beginning :D MacGyver always was my favorite movie character. Keep making awesome vids!

Go with the space pen, there is one that is small, not much but can write in mud, under water etc

uh, the white color BIC lighters allow a person to see how much lighter fluid is in the lighter when shinning a flashlight through the body of the BIC lighter 🔥
