It is hilarious honestly looking at some people's EDC options. I kinda look at them and think ... yeah ok lol

As @BarryJPage said, EDCs are very much a personal thing. Mine is ‘just’; wallet, Trapper pocketknife, Zippo, lipsalve, nasal spray (damned sinuses!), smokes, keys. Occasionally I’ll carry a Leatherman Wingman that I’ve removed the blades from making it U.K. ‘street’ legal; an easy job assuming you’ve a few spare washers knocking about.

The ability to adapt to the situation you find yourself in is the most important thing to have.

I have a Leatherman Bond for EDC, which is non-locking. I really wish vendors made it clear (Amazon I'm looking at you) when stuff has locking blades. Heinnie is pretty good, Cyclaire also. Meanwhile, I have a suit pocket EDC, a little earbud pouch with an Olight i3E EOS, Gerber Vise and jet flame lighter. My EDC does change, but the essentials are always covered.

6:25 I'd question that statement. I don't think your mutitool is UK legal for EDC. If you cant fold the blade fully away without moving a lever, pressing a button, or in this case unfolding and then refolding the tool, it's not UK legal for EDC. Same reason the Leatherman Bond isn't UK legal, even though Leatherman say it is. It has the same problem as the tool you have there, where can't fold the blade fully away from its open position without "doing something". And "doing something" is classed as a locking mechanism. Not trying to be a smart ass, just pointing that out so you don't get in any bother. And for anyone else watching obviously.

Every woman has always carried an EDC in her handbag. Ever remember picking up a woman's handbag and asking "What have you got in there ? Bricks ?"

just came across your channel. nice to find someone that understands

My EDC is cash, legal multi tool, waterproof lighter that comes with a whistle, mini torch, charged phone, used to take tactical pen but can’t now. Good reminder to add my new card multitool in to my wallet though. And if I was in a heavily urban area and worried the alarm would be useful too, yes. Good idea with the mini ferro rod to add to keyring!

A small, exotac type, ferro rod would be a great addition to your key ring !

Panic alarm especially for women

Digital copy of identification will be useless in a EMP scenario no power no computer and no way to use your thumb drive to access your digital data. But when society collapses and there’s NROL you can use your own alias name not a name you were assigned with by the system

Nice one. The other tool I have on the keyring is a snatch pull seat belt cutter/window shatter tool. Hwyl, Taffy Nige 🤘

Your phones will be pointless hence getting a radio like a old ham radio that can go long distance. Digital will be dead. Also if you need to prep then theres no laws lol

Wallet, keys, Phone, Pocket Knife. That is my EDC. In the car there is a first aid kit, cable ties & paracord, small roll of gorilla tape, some food and water, gym kit, walking boots and a hoodie. Nice and simple. My dad always said if it cant be fixed with gaffa tape, paracord and cable ties you need a new one.

It called having a bug out bag prepared and on hand just in case. That bag can stay in the boot of your car . You are also one of the liers Straight away with your opening about preppers lies you have made it sound wores than it actually is. The bottom line is preppers make these videos in the hope of making sales and in exchange that give you vital information. In their videos. And you look and sound like you couldn't prep yourself out of a paper bag let alone anything eles . Why are uk preppers video so lame compared to us preppers.

And someone pulls out a knife on you 😱 god forbid wygd ring the police 😅

▶️Major Kong - Survival Kit Contents Check EDC for a weekend in Dallas, the prophylactic EDC days are now not required being a grumpy old man, even if I was to get a boy band haircut.

▶️Briefcase used by JAMES BOND in 1963 | Briefcase bond Ah the days before the Leatherman when the AR7 was legal and the 50 Gold Sovereign's were illegal to own.

But don't you prepare for every journey, as they are all different. Going out on a clear summer day, would you take an umbrella ? Going out for a jog, would you wear your wellingtons ? EDC's are "mission specific" as what you carry to a night on the town would be totally different to taking a walk through the local woods. It is pretty dumb to claim that one EDC is going to cover everything, even if you carry a "man bag"

I usually don't go anywhere without my Karrimor SF delta 25 backpack with a lightweight level 3a polymer ceramic SAPI plate. I should probably carry a cellular phone for emegencies more often. Recently added a Spashmap 1:50,000 OS custom map and a Cammenga tritium J582T compass. Ditched the pointless metal survival card thingy years ago. No Leatherman tool just a Victorinox farmer (I need to get a new leather pouch for it). Torch is currently just a basic Olight i5T EoS sith an EBL 1.5V Lithium rechargeable with USB-C battery. Pen is just a basic £17 titanium bolt clicky with a Fisher refill. The lighter was an old Brunton but died so I'm trying out a new glow bushcraft plasma lighter. I will need to add a CC sized BCB tinder card to add to my Maxpedition wallet. Seems to work well with the lighter when cut into strips. My wrist watch is a basic Citizen Eco drive Promaster Marine. Gloves would be Laken Sandringham if it was cold and wet outside. Cordage is Emma Kites 2.1 mm Kevlar braided cord if I was going to EDC instead of Paracord. Has the same breaking strain as Paracord but is much more compact to carry

You forgot the big blue water container that filters 1000ltr of sewer water into drinking water 🤣

Just about to head to Tesco. Suppose I best leave the crossbow behind now. Mind it came in handy during 😷 times when I needed more loo roll & pasta 😂 Great video Mike. While it’s easy for people to get carried away with prepping (we’re all guilty of it to some extent I bet), it’s nice to remind people we still have ROL for now. And we must abide by them, even if we don’t want to. See you on the next one mate

a excellent show I need to find me one of those wallet ninjas

Shocking - I always include two hankies as well: one for me, and one to pass to ladies in distress! 😂

❤ thought provoking as usually. Hmmm. Makes me think what do i use. I've started to carry emergency cash because our local shops had a internet shortage and they coukd only accept cash. I've bought multiple glass and securty cord breakers that are attached to anything and everything that moves. But I'm a female with a rucksack so I carry everything in there. 😂

you forgot one crucial element on your edc car/house keys........a dog tag (not what u.s army wear one but one that might have been for your doggies collar)available at most pet shops ,with your phone number on them🤣

How deep are your pockets? 😂

You need to be more feminine about it and carry a handbag. My Missus has a house brick and 40ft ladder in hers. You can find the ladder under the kitchen sink she carts around in there too.

Yeah good thoughts on this topic. If I carried half the stuff that some say I would have even more trouble keeping my pants up than I do now. I must get a bit more organised as my vehicle is set up with nearly everything needed whilst the rev limiters chosen mode of transport has virtually nothing in it.

Can totally recommend the small led key ring torches you can get at Tesco in the 2 for £2 bits and bobs section, 2 keyring torches and a pack nail files/duct tape bargain

Personally i think an EDC is a very personal thing too, very situation specific.. different situations requiring different equipment/types being carried.

Rule of law? What’s that? I believe in natural law...No loss harm or injury! I never leave home without a WPN

Great video - really informative. Cheers!

you look so much younger

Good vid mate.

Leatherman Bond is UK legal too Mike

Mikes gloves are £3 on Temu

Download your local area on google maps, they work in offline mode

My predictions 2025: more storms, extreme weather etc as global warming takes hold, migration/ immigration issues intensify due to these and effects of social upheavals and war- a sign of stress aka mental health issues writ large. Proxies will further fall by the wayside in conflicts leading to the ‘big boys’ starting to directly face off against each other more, inflation and pressures increasing on the average household. Pandemic of Bird Flu.This will all feed more cannon fodder in the bank for the big conflicts to come between the bigger players.

The comment on the UK having one of the highest mental health issues per population is a sign that we are interested in this area and are good at detecting and diagnosing. If they had the same in areas of war like Russia this would be a non conversation.

That fox hunt reminds me of back in the late 70's, early 80's where loads of us had CB radios (not a licence in sight), and Sundays about 50 or so cars with CBs would go on a treasure hunt, and the final clue would take us to a pub where we'd all meet up for the evening. Great fun times. Black Tassle signing off.
