The metal hanger is absolutely a fantastic idea. You’re the first I’ve seen to include that.

[@SebastianSynn18252]

This is definitely one of the better thought out kits I've seen on YT. Excellent job. I'd like to see an update and see what's changed in the past few years

[@munkymaniaman]

Ear plugs can also be used as bobbers for fishing. ;)

[@Emeraldmidst]

Thank you for that tid bit.

[@democritus90]

I like your kit. I noticed that, for many of the items, you said, "There are a ton of uses for this." but then didn't list any uses. Maybe give some examples. I like the coat hanger idea. It can also be used to open car doors!

[@BugoutChannel]

Haha. Ya. I ramble a bit and then move on. Sorry about that. I’ll work on getting better about that. If you have a question about a certain item, let me know

[@jesusbanda5227]

It can also be used to enhance your firearms when lawlessness strikes

[@xeokym223]

Yeah, older cars. Newer ones with electronic locks are configured differently. Just having the coat hanger wouldn't help unless you know how to use it. Your greatest survival tool is your brain!

[@adamkane7513]

The dental floss can be used to make an impromptu bikini for an Instagram model in a survival situation.

[@HSTMachine]

@@xeokym223 you can still use the grab handles with a coat hangar on newer car doors

[@rjlharris2833]

I love how organized you are... that's my biggest issue. I have the "things" I just can't seem to get the list of necessary items down to such a small kit. Plus being a mom, my edc is my purse, which weighs like 20 lbs 😬and another bag..🤣 when shtf I'll look like a pack mule...

[@maemae4345]

Oh my...I was thinking the same thing...with kids I dont think anything is super small and compact lol....only other choice is to do one for each one individually and that could get a bit spendy...

[@dicksonanthony1]

I home think this kit is well thought out, reasonably priced, and is something to be proud of. I know others will note exceptions or deficiencies, but any person would be well-suited to have this at hand. And that's the truth.

[@BugoutChannel]

Thank you very much Sir.

[@justinbell937]

Maybe you have it organized with your first aid kit, but tooth brush/tooth past, toilet paper, wet wipes, soap and hand sanitizer. I realize this kit is suppose to just get you by for a day or so, but they would probably get more use than your emergency shelter or water carrying bags. To keep it lightweight, look into toothpaste tabs, toilet paper tabs, and a water-bottle bidet. I keep a very small dropper of Dr. Bronner's for washing, and a decent sized mini bottle of hand sanitizer.

[@thecaptain6994]

Sillcock key especially if in an urban environment.

[@thomasbrandon5111]

Been using this concept for years. Makes things a lot easier then carrying a Pac all the time and def makes travel easier.

[@BugoutChannel]

That’s cool! Thanks for the comment

[@dorekborek]

I was really pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this video to hear someone with an American accent actually using metric units. Good job overall!

[@SilverLining650]

Tag from Life Done Free sent me over to your channel. I’m glad he did because I had no idea how to build a BOB. Thanks for helping me to build my bag!

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

The dental floss you have in the kit can be used to make a neck lanyard to the whistle or any other item that needs to go around the neck for fast access. It's stronger than it seems. I have used this technique myself to EDC a kubaton around town.

[@adamkane7513]

You could also use the dental floss to make a thong for a social media hoe!

[@nicolelaplant5465]

Ibuprofen for pain/inflammation/fever and Tylenol which is good for the same symptoms as well as bone pain. Can be take concurrently, spaced out so you have meds on board around the clock if needed especially with high fevers.

[@hippiechick4604]

I really like how compact everything is! What a great little pack!

[@ulperformance4087]

A few thoughts: bug spray, alcohol spray, tapes - electrical, dbl. sided, Gorilla or equal, chemical heaters, 100 test pound Spectra fishing line or 200/300 test pound Kevlar cordage instead of the dental floss & other cordage - lighter, stronger for most needs and less volume. A balaclava for head/face/neck warmth. A few compressed paper towels instead of the larger towel shown.

[@thecaptain6994]

I just bought a small compass on Amazon called the Sun Company MiniCompass II. I tied some bank line on it and wear it as a necklace. Works like a charm. You may want to check it out since you indicated you are looking for a different compass.

[@randyyeager]

I'm big on bigger kits. I don't like having a kit without the 10C's +. Doesn't have to be backpack size, but that kit you just made is too small for me. Needs a stainless steel water bottle and nesting cup, a full tang knife and a tarp. I'd also add a decent size folding saw. I'm not a fan of water purification tablets. I'd rather use bleach or Tensure Iodine 2%. But that's last resort. Boil or water filter, or both. Small kits make you work a lot harder. Drugs, your prefered pain pills, anti diarrheal and anti constipation, something for heart burn, and the allergy pills.

[@garygoldstein327]

In my EDC I find antacid tabs a perfect companion. And found pill s8zed zip bags that hold 9 reg sized tums or generic equivalent. Lays flat one rowe of three upon another and saves on space. Another zip pill bag holds 38 ibuprophens and lays the pills flat one rowe upon another. When boiling water to purify i have tea bags to difuse in the water to givevthe water more flavor. And an instant packet of star bucks / tasters choice for a slight pick me up. And multi vitamin B instant fruit punch powder to rehydrate. A couple halls can open airways or help you breath humid air in with temporary cool menthol comfort.

[@louisdesouza8597]

Don't know if I missed it but I always have painkillers in my kit. Don't know if anyone else has this but a first aid handbook. Found one with local plants and other tips. Really like the string on the Flashlight, simple and fast.

[@lorelledias3798]

Hey... Thanks for this video. This has to be the most well thought out small/edc survival kit out there. Suggestions of a few more supplies. 1. A pain killer - Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen are options. (Perhaps mention at the back of the pill box the expiry date of the meds) 2. Antibiotic Ointment - Neosporin is an option. (You get small tubes on amazon which don't take up much space) 3. Sting relief - Pads or Swabs will do so it won't take up much space. Sting Kill is an option. 4. Mini CPR kit - that comes with the CPR mask. It is so tiny it can be attached inside or outside the bag with a carabiner hook. 5. Emergency glow stick - in case batteries run out or don't work these can last for 12 hours. 6. Syringe - to flush out the sawyer filter 7. Safety Pins - just a couple of them. 8. Small Compression bandage - comes in handy for sprained ankles and wrists. 9. Multitool (credit card shape and size) to remove some of the redundancy items and make room for some of the stuff above. Wallet Ninja- 18 in 1 Credit Card Sized Multitool is an option. 10. Compressed pill size towels - with a little water it expands into a towelette.

[@nickmartino2839]

A couple great fixed blade options for you.... that fit into small pouches.... the white river m1 caper pro and the tops msk 2.5 both very very durable and affordable options!!

[@redbear_70]

As for fixed blades, there's quite a few options that will fit in there that are bigger than the candiru. The esee izula (2), the esee 3, jg3, bk14, etc. Very nice kit though. I use the maxpedition fatty and it serves my purpose. Vanquest pouches are too expensive for what they are. Maxpedition is pushing it also with cost.

[@BugoutChannel]

Great suggestions. Thanks for watching

[@randallkelley3599]

I bought caffine Gummie Bears. I am a great fan of lights. I carry three small AAA Maratac lights, one for each of us in the family. Also at least one powerful light to light up the night, cause "Dark Sucks", as a friend of mine says. Also lots of extra batts.

[@johnsurefoot69]

Antibiotics of some sort would be a useful addition to a bug out bag in my opinion

[@ac3toni]

If there is webbing in the back and you dont use it... You can get whissle pipe, compasses and a flat light to mount on it. Also thinking, if you had a hole in the prybar you could mount it back there, also tie it down with paracord so it wont drop off. Im also hanging a Nitecore TIKI GITD light inside my Maxpedition Beefy pouch, so I can open it in the dark and actually see what I do without pulling out any other light. :)

[@xeokym223]

I think of EDC as totally separate from a "survival kit." You shouldn't need wilderness/camping type things mixed with urban EDC stuff. For example, the metal ruler is useless weight in a mini necessities-only wilderness kit, you're not going to need to be making straight lines with a pen in the wilderness, and there are far more efficient ways of measuring in that scenario. Obviously there are going to be crossover items like a flashlight, but this is quite heavy and large for an EDC. I get that it's "ultimate" but then the size & weight sort of defeats its own purpose. I guess it's okay if it's stored in a car all the time, but I'd hate to be lugging this thing around "just in case." That's a lot of stuff. It'd weigh down a backpack or travel luggage considerably. Personally I'd make 2 separate kits of this stuff, one for wilderness survival and one for EDC/urban and just have a few overlap items in each.

[@adamlarsen1566]

Idk, a crossover kit like this would be pretty darn useful in event that you were displaced during a natural disaster or forced to leave your home and fend for yourself.

[@xeokym223]

@@adamlarsen1566 I guess it depends on where you end up. Everyone has different ideas about that depending on where they live. If I got forced from my home I would likely end up out in the woods anyway, which might be different from another person's scenario. The best thing you can do is customize your own kit with things that would benefit YOU the most. My greatest worry is finding food if you can no longer go to a store, and clean water.

[@evilfluff6634]

You should replace your super glue with liquid stitches. Because it doesn’t have any toxic chemicals that some companies call special chemicals. And it still works like super glue. Now the O.G super glue was used in medical now it is called liquid stitches and was developed for uses on babies. And glue exploding and new unopened tube should not explode because of lack of air inside.

[@brettlewis7332]

Very nice indeed. Thanks and I'm very happy with the 12V EMP Shield I got from you through Marf. God bless folks.

[@seniorchiefharris]

Thanks sooo much for this video! I've made several larger kits like this, but like you smaller kit better! Difficult to find the 'ideal' small EDC pack...will certainly look at Vanquest Husky pouch! May you and yours ALWAYS Stay Safe and Healthy!

[@BugoutChannel]

Kenn, wow thanks! Glad you liked it

[@greekscout8343]

Great kit, as a suggestion in mine which is almost the same size I have included 100 ml emergency water, those they use in life boats.

[@BugoutChannel]

Thanks! Great idea

[@liisaelts7522]

Oh, and that sewing kit... Find yourself an empty tube they use for mechanical pencil leads. Most needles fit in there - they won't rust, won't poke, won't get sticky. If it's a bit wider, you can also fit some safety pins etc in it. You can use the case itself as small bobbin for thread. Use jeans thread, they are sturdier.

[@davem.2191]

I thought of some things you "could" add to your bag. - A pair of gloves might be handy. But I don't know if they'd fit in that EDC bag. It's pretty small. At the very least you could carry a pair in your car with your emergency automobile "fix it kit." Assuming you have one. A small "eye care kit" would be ideal too. Or maybe just a tiny bottle of Visine or eye wash, small tweezers, and a couple of Q-tips. A pair of sunglasses, if you don't already have some. Perhaps a tiny magnet, or pocket telescoping magnet.

[@Unknown39485]

Add a cable saw (better more). They are weightless, take no space, cost a trifle and can saw small limbs for fire/shelter with ease. Best

[@wolfpac9mm]

This looks like an awesome little kit. I could definitely use a couple of these!

(better late than ever). I would add few Valerian tablets. In high string situations, they cool your anxiety down enough you can actually think clearer. Might not work for everyone, but if they do, they are god sent through such events.

[@enriquediaz7547]

I like where you’re going with this. I too get pack-kits overload… & want a one & done. But I oscillate…

[@leojoseph6385]

Good Kit, but streamline it by having a backup item for your top 5 requirements, then reduce to only 1 item for the other needs. For example you don't need to pack a piece of wood since you've got paper, and Chapstick & Lighter. Lose the Spork, because you'll find a way to eat without it if you're hungry enough. Besides you brought a smart Go-bar that just has to be opened. Add a pair of Nitrile gloves for Covid-19 environment and emergencies. Once you refine the purpose of your kit, the better the kit will be.

[@agentp6621]

Consider Kevlar thread and/or cordage. I haven’t yet tried either one. Kevlar cordage has one flaw. Once you cut it. The fibers fray. You can’t melt the tip like nylon cord. Still thinking there’s got to be some way around it. Also peanut butter packets. I have a few that I scavenged from some care packages here in Iraq. They’re 1.15 oz. and has 190 calories. It’s from a Whole Foods store. So it’s straight peanus and no sugar. Lots of protein to repair tissues. Lots of fat to help fill you up and provide calories in a small package. A few carbs for energy. Good all around. Lasts forever. Just watch Steve1989’s videos with ration reviews. Peanut butter holds up to the test of time 99% of the time. You can portion it out and requires no silverware. Great for bait in traps.

[@TruthAndTattoos]

I just put a drop of super glue on the end after each use to stop the ends from fraying. Works great

[@randyyeager]

put in energy/protein bars that you like to eat. If you don't like eating them, you won't, and they will go bad. But if you used bars you like, you'll eat them and replace them regularly, so they won't go bad. Not touching your kit daily will make the whole kit kinda useless, so eating the bars will put you in the kit.

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

The problem with 99% of the pre made kits in the market is that they tighten a lot items inside a can in a manner that if you need something you gonna waste half an hour unpacking and repacking everything. The pre made kits on the market only work if you gonna stay in one position or if you have a bag to drop the contents inside. Now your kit is organized in a manner that everything is easy acessible. You end up not getting a can that you could use to cook or boil water but I much more prefer the easy accessibility of your kit.

[@preacherjayk]

if you went with 275 cord, you could carry 3 times the cordage in the same space, and still have the inner strands,, I find even in actual training scenarios I seldom ever need the cordage to be as heavy as 550 cord,, even for shelter building,

[@CoryCDS]

Buddy of mine slice his hand really deep im sure dr would’ve recommended stitches but we just used super glue worked prettydamn good

[@xeokym223]

It does work well in some cases. The trick is to not get the superglue in the wound, and just keep it on the surface enough to keep the skin pinched together. That's a little tough to do if the wound is bleeding a lot. But if you haven't got a clean needle & thread to do your own stitches, and happen to have some superglue, it's better than nothing and helps keep dirt out of the wound for the time being.

Lots in there are very handy. Don't need to travel.

[@Subgunman]

Nice set up. I have an issue however, traveling through the EU in many countries they have laws as to length of knife blades. It can be a pain in the arse if you get an officer who has a hair up their you know what. You could wind up in a heap o trouble boy. England and Greece are two places that come to mind. The UK has a general knife ban and Greece has a 10 cm length rule. Most officers in Greece will measure it against their palms width which is a crock of sh!t. This is where the ruler one carries comes in handy. As for super glue, its original use was that of a wound closure system that goes back to US medic bags in Vietnam. Two items are missing unless you carry an IFAK and that is a tourniquet and one pack of quick clot. In my auto go kit I also pack cheap compress pads or Texas bandages as we called them years ago (aka a Kotex pads or most any sanitary pads) as well as railroad fuzees which are small 3/8" by 4" mini flares. They burn for about 5 minutes and are also useful in starting fires with very wet wood and tinder. They are a bit hard to come by and one needs to contact the Olin corp which is a part of CCI, I believe they make them for the railroads. Another tool I Cary in my bug out bag but has been dropped from production is the Cold Steel Mini Bushman knife. Its all steel with a hollow handle that can be attached to a long stick and used as a spear. As usual, EDC, bug out bags are an ever evolving game.
