The Ultimate Dad's EDC Kit + GIVEAWAY - Don't Call It a Man Purse!

[@meschneb]

Something I haven't seen yet in a video: a couple/few plastic grocery bags. If you lay ''em flat, get all the air out, and fold them like a flag, to make a triangle (or like the paper footballs from when you were 11 or 12 y.o.) They're great for instant trash bags, of course, but also for a moisture barrier to sit on, or to hold something and keep it dry when scurrying from car to school door through the rain, etc. etc. And very 'prepared dad'-ish, too.

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Good thinking

[@Ray75195]

I am from South Korea. I am so impressed to watch how American dad is prepared. I gotta learn from you. Thanks. :)

[@Caine50]

Some really interesting additions in your kit I haven’t seen before - thanks for the ideas!

[@JensenAzotea]

Yeah I need that TI tape measure! Always using the side of my Leatherman, which goes to 9 inches but 3ft would be clutch!

[@jillluke9112]

OK...I believe you! Watched this, expecting to see "macho man" drivel. Was astonished that you really do carry DAD stuff. And...I took notes, because...you...have some really good ideas. Thanks

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Glad I passed the test :-)

[@oilyonion]

A mini tape measure has become one of my favorite Dad EDC items. Some great ideas in this kit!

[@DavidLedbetter12]

Wet ones are essential. Shout wipes are a great combo for cleaning clothing.

[@remley8877]

I do appreciate your level of preparedness and don't at all mean to seem critical, but I'd suggest considering carrying a tourniquet and or bleeding stopping powder in your kits, they're inexpensive and probably, hopefully knever will be needed, but just incase it might be worth it in a worst case scenario. It takes less than 7 minutes to bleed to death, but the average ambulance response time is 22 minutes. JS

[@johnbrowning7722]

have you ever thought of putting a knifeless tool in there so that you can do some other stuff, but still be good for going to a school?

[@kwilin19]

Nice, that will definitely help being a Dad. You have to expect the unexpected when having kids!

[@jjryan1352]

I put together a little kit before I even knew EDC was a thing. These videos are helping me make it even better.

[@gordontyree4308]

WOW! Great video and kit! As a grandfather of young grandchildren, this kit is perfect for any outing you could think of! Great ideas! Going to put one together myself! Thanks man! Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Well done!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Awesome - glad you liked it.

[@DavidRodriguez-ou9fy]

Man...I thought I was prepared until I saw this! So many items in a fanny pack! Nice job! I like the body wipe idea too! Thanks for the vid!!!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

yeah, those wipes are surprisingly handy to have

[@jim2mckenna220]

Grand Dads need a pack too! Ups our cool factor.

[@selectivememory86]

Gotta get one of those glow fobs for my edc. That Vanquest Dendrite looks pretty nice, too. I'd definitely swap out that buckle for a fidlock one though. Something about that solid magnetic latching is just *chef's kiss*.

[@cliffduke1830]

Greetings from one Tennessean to another! Great video! I notice that you have trouble with the ends of your Kevlar rope fraying/unraveling. Try flaming the ends of the rope with your Bic lighter. That should melt the fibers together so they don't fray. I haven't tried this with Kevlar rope specifically but it works with nearly all cordage except all-natural (like hemp, cotton).

[@888johnmac]

lol , having a kid means EDC is a way of life .. it starts with the diaper/nappy bag .. then when baby becomes a toddler it turns into a full blown medical trauma kit ... then a clean-up bag ( individual wet-ones are ace ) .... some nice ideas there

[@888johnmac]

and an example ... summer day in the park with my kids , another kid saw a squirrel & ran into the bushes for a closer look , came back out even quicker screaming his head off with bare legs covered in thorns .. nothing his parents could do , i gave them my swiss army knife tweezers , magnifying lens & a few wipes .. 5 mins later all sorted

[@navdad9683]

Some good ideas in here, thanks.

[@michaelbalcom5034]

This edc looks like it would be great for the basic day to day stuff you need with kids.

[@graceg4550]

I like the variety you have in this pack. Also its taylored to you. Because we dont need a ferro rod in every bag lol!

[@MarcosCouncil]

Good video. I actually have a couple of these items in my EDC

[@melissasmith4505]

What a great kit with some terrific ideas. Thanks for sharing! Headed to Amazon now.

[@kixb4632]

Siiiick loadout. I have two nieces and I also have those compressed mini towels in my EDC bag, we go thru them like Skittles. Keep rockin, loving the vids

[@Kali_Bear1776]

Good luck to everyone

[@cliffhawley1768]

I really enjoyed this video. Definitely taking some of these ideas for my every day bag.

[@dougbotimer8005]

I appreciate your coverage of EDC consumables, and not just the hardware most EDC videos cover. Great ideas an EDC bag dads and granddads. One thing I like have is tissues, for those snotty noses, including mine.

[@chadwinford2560]

Lol , now I’m definitely reconsidering a Fanny pack!!! Nice video, thank you for your time.

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

It’s a solid choice!

[@jasondalton6111]

Nice video. I like the grappling hook!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Everyone likes the grappling hook :-)

[@turkeyfarmer99847]

Excellent kit! Innovative ideas! Enjoy watching your vids! Keep it up!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Thanks

[@Llewsilverbeard]

Great tips ! My Dad bag has a reputation with my family. “Go ask Dad he has it in that bag “ is said daily 😂

[@CreachterZ]

That means you did good! Fist bump.

[@suppliedmedic91]

Awesome vid, great insight on how to set up a kit for Dads

[@reveah61]

Hi. Instead of spending money on the Nite-Ize twists, just use those twist-ties that come free with your plastic baggies.

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Good idea. The Nite-Ize were actually an upgrade from the twists I used to use, which kind of fall apart into nothing over time.

[@karenreiners5226]

I love giveaways! Especially EDC! Love the channel!

[@guiolivier1234]

Nice Kit!

[@MrMosborne82]

This is a great idea!

[@johnbarlow6536]

New to your channel...love the variety of videos you do.im new to the edc community but I'm really starting to enjoy! Keep up all the cool videos!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Glad to have you, Matt

[@cinsforgiven7]

Love these fanny packs! I have one from the early 90’s that I still use daily! My boys used to make fun of it but now that they are parents themselves, they see the value in them!! 😆

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Yeah, I think they're coming back for a reason

[@CreachterZ]

Great kit. Very nicely thought out.

[@joseramos1584]

Nice video, cool gears! 😎

[@josiahhopkins9188]

You had me at Dad EDC.

[@rudys19]

Great video! Definitely got a lot of ideas for my needs.

[@Rozisunshineglow]

I love your channel. You are very friendly informative and direct

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Haha, thanks

[@mabel2108]

very cool gear!

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

Your videos are so awesome!!! This kit is a great idea!!! I have nieces and nephews (one of which has Down Syndrome) so my kit is individual. I think a lot of these items would be great to have with me since I am involved in a lot of their activities.

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Hope you found some helpful ideas :-)

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

@@AtHomeInTheFuture thank you!!! I sure did. Great video!!!

[@bruceedginton3139]

I need one

[@twistedxvengeance]

As a mom, I can attest. All the wipes! All of them will be in my bag, forever. They're infinitely useful and kids are gross 😹

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

You can never, never have enough wipes, haha

[@twistedxvengeance]

@@AtHomeInTheFuture ill probably keep this habit even when my kid is grown, being sticky sucks 😹

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

The good news is that you’re always ready to eat a rack of ribs 😉

[@twistedxvengeance]

@@AtHomeInTheFuture I definitely cannot think of any downsides to that, yum! 🤤

[@xBoomstickx]

I love and hate you for showing me that grappling hook item its great

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

It's ridiculous but so fun.

[@hammondjones9484]

cool video

Masculinizing the purse...way to go.

[@mda7763]

Call it what you like…. But that’s a FannyPak.

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Hi just found your ch! I'm a special needs bus driver so I carry almost all of these things and more equipment for the kids! I'm Ling these ideas and things are always going to happen on my routes so I need to be prepared! Thank you

[@jyoung2393]

This is beyond just being a dad. I'm a leader at my job and have many grown folk under me.... this would definitely fit the bill for a save the day pack for anyone. Love the build, found a few things i was missing in my edc carry. Great job my friend

[@HenLi95]

Thanks for this awesome video! I think you might be interested in the “PULLEY standard 90 degrees B0” by austrialpin, as it would go very well with your Kevlar rope and the reteeve. I alsways it with me and it weights nothing :)

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Cool idea

[@edmeraan2]

New to the channel, im always on the hunt for cool gear! Found it! Thank you

[@nturavrgchick6055]

I love that you've put kits like this together. Great gift ideas for our husbands. You've done all the work for us! I'll definitely check out your other videos.

[@graemeo3440]

Just an FYI. Those little expanding wipes also work with hand sanitiser instead of water so you can make a quick anti bac wipe.

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Smart!

[@shakes00lude]

You sure fit a ton of stuff in there. I'm not sure why you use three different wipes though, I'd just stick to the wet ones or some unscented baby wipes. I have the retreev tool and have to agree that it's pretty fun. I love watching EDC videos but it's really nice to see one that's more shit hits the hand than hits the fan.

[@TheLongdru]

As a dad and a cultivator of useful items I love you content. Thx for introducing me to such cool stuff.

[@eel133]

This is awesome! I’ve added a small inflatable ball and a few toys to mine

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Now THAT'S a missing piece in this kit. Great ideas.

[@DirtbagVet]

Ah yes dad gear, this is why I’m here

[@jamesdavid1714]

The dad pouch is back! Looks like a great pack. I'm sure the winner will be super happy

[@kevinkiem2959]

Love your Channel, great stuff 👍👍👍

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Thanks man

[@mmckenna2634]

A new item you may find interesting are the small tourniquets from Snakestaff System. About the size of a magazine. I just bought four (4) to carry off-duty. They fit well in a small EDC bag or your pocket. Enjoy your channel and glad I found it (my wife won’t be when she sees the Amazon cart). Just found it today and subscribed. This is my type of EDC - not to tactical and a little more practical.

[@pboone1231]

Thanks for the video.

[@DonO1970WNY]

Great video! I always have my Amazon app opened when I watch videos like these, and I always wind up spending some money. :) The only thing I would probably pick a cheaper option for is the tape measure. $45 for 3 feet? Ouch. Great size and form factor though, so go for it if it’s in your budget. Thanks for posting!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Having Amazon open is how I've ended up with so much gear over the years :-) Yeah, the tape measure is up there, but it's super tiny, well--engineered, and (most importantly for this kit) super light weight. Throw it in a pocket and you'd totally forget it was there.

[@unclemeat7310]

I thought the same thing, $45! YIKES!

[@clevelandexplorer2221]

Why do people bin wipes?! :( So much is said about how they don't decompose sufficiently. It's like "disposable vapes", a trend of spending £5 each but a pen style costs £20 :( such a waste. Have a bin next to the toilet and put crap in the pocket for a couple minutes to the next bin lol :s thanks for saying they're not flushable! :) Thanks also for sharing this

[@westonknight7474]

This was a very informative video, thank you for your information sir. My carry is indeed vast, may I suggest Huggies wipes with aloe & vitamin E. As a long-haul truck driver, I literally have at least 11 or more of these 176 wipes bags (on average) in the back of my tractor at all times. I think of these as a type of sink where there is no water 💧. I use these for all things imaginable pretty much daily. Once again, great video sir, be well.

[@mendyviola]

Hon, it’s a man bag. No getting around it. My husband has the same, but in the form of an oversized nylon canvas lunch bag with several compartments. Less lunch food, more misc stuff that I would carry in my purse. 😂. That being said, it looks like a good mountain biking pouch to me! If you have girls approaching or are in puberty, carry a sanitary napkin… trust me. Once they get a little older, they are a little more prepared independently.

[@annelisabethcom]

Didn't watch to the end, but. Mosquito bites. Tiger balm works for that. I got tiny tins in Thailand. A little bigger than a button.

[@davebrown1358]

Enjoy the clip . I’m not a dad or father. 5 nephew, 2 nieces & a combination of GR8 nephews & nieces about 15 clan. I like the kit going to make some for the parents. Cheers ☕️

[@RevGano]

Man I need to build something like this!

[@AtHomeInTheFuture]

Do it!

[@ushiocheng]

9:14 Let me suggest use hydrocolloid dressing as a band-aid alternative. They are not anti bacterial and significantly more expensive than bandaid (affordable still) but they are excellent in every other aspect, you can get 4x4in ones which you can cut down on the fly and it sticks directly onto the wound thus fixing it in place and making it way less painful to move around and do stuff. It also helps wound healing and reduce scaring. Idk if this is normal but I cut a small piece of my finger off and it is pretty much completely healed in a week.

[@ashleygovender4104]

Awesome video. As a dad myself, I appreciate this. Durban, South Africa
