Bushradical Ultimate E.D.C.

I've been asked 1,000 times , ""Whats your EDC". In this video I'll Show you the things I actually carry on a daily basis.

Love to hear a guy from Alaska talking about going "up north" as if Alaska isn't already considerably more up north than most of us will ever experience. Great vid, dude. I'm also a big fan of small trad folders, appreciate that. Incidentally, I live in the middle of a city in Ontario and drive an suv, but still keep an axe and a tow strap beside the spare tire with a headlamp in the glove box.

Finally a realistic video about everyday carry items. No 8x8 tarps from a specific website or water bottle that doubles as a convection oven. The tool set is something my father taught me to always keep with you and almost nobody ever mentions it. Great video 👏🏻

Love the comment about the water bottle

[@kitmason2718]

Good info Dave. Ive carried a pocket knife for decades, and never leave the house without water, long before bottled water was a thing. ... I tell ya, you could be a story teller, or narrator. You and Brooke are two of my favorite people on KZbin.

All very useful! I absolutely love your videos. These brought me through my breast cancer battle this past year, and I’m spending this year preparing to build my own cabin. I hope you see this. I just want to say thank you for bringing me through some of the darkest days of my entire life so far. I’m going to have to fight for quite a bit longer, but I made it through my double mastectomy this past August. Watching these videos gave me a new focus, and they helped me survive.

I may never get to meet you but I just want to thank you. I’ve watched your videos for years and a week ago you old video “show me your steak challenge” popped up and I watched it. I’ve struggled with anxiety for years and like the guy in your story I have been sailing on a ship I myself was sabotaging. My anxiety lost me a lot and I kept avoiding things I once loved just to almost make deals with the anxiety until it had everything and I could hardly leave my house. I lost friends, my gf, and so many opportunities because I was scared to call for help and I thought I could douse the blaze and save the ship myself. Well after that video I decided I didn’t wanna watch my ship burn anymore and I reached out for help and got on medicine and have therapy lined up. For anyone out there who’s ship is aflame reach out for help I know its hard but your not alone. Thank you dave you will always have a special place in my heart

[@Bushradical]

That means a LOT to me that you found something that valuable in a piece of video I shot. Best of luck going forward..you've got this

[@williamr8261]

This is the first time I smiled entirely through an E.D.C. video. Probably because I do not normally watch them, although Dave has that below-the-surface sarcasm covered with knowledge, that kept me enthralled. Love you, Dave. Mr. Whipple can survive. Shalom.

Couldn't agree more on the water. Once you're used to carrying water, its almost like panic mode whenyou don't. I also have a water supply to simply go to the store.

I carry a larger knife though. I am definitely radical!

[@connieeastburn-lohmann2687]

I will be 70 years old in July 2024, I grew up and spent so much of my live in the backwoods of the Sierra Nevada mountains, I live in the central valley of California. I still carry a Boy Scout compass, a small Swiss army knife, a lighter, and my heart meds, (just in case I need it). The lighter, heart med, and soBlistex lip protector is always in a pocket. Knife and compass always in what ever fanny pack or small bag, purse, I am carrying. I carry much more in a little larger pack if I am going to the mountains or anywhere that might be a overnight trip. So, I still do as I have done since about 12 years old when my father first gave me a old refillable lighter to carry, I handled hunting knives from a young age, cleaned a lot of trout and bass. I handled a rifle from about 9 and had a small bow and arrows before that. We were always fishing and hunting in the mountains and camped in the backwoods.

[@connieeastburn-lohmann2687]

I forgot, I carrya Small pen light flash light also in my bag or purse, fanny pack

Thanks Dave, your videos have a relaxing effect on me that remind me of home. Your info is so relatable and makes me appreciate how i was raised, my dad did a good job instilling practicality in me. Im in CA now but was raised in MI. Hearing the eastern chickadees in your out door vids makes me smile. Just thanks. You remind me of parts of myself that i took for granted.

[@AlessandroBergomi]

Thanks you! Other youtuber who do bushcraft carry as follow: - Bushcraft knife $100 - ferro rod (Never the cheap one - always the expensive one) - home made lighting fire tools (why? you can use a lighter) - bushcraft tarp $100 (just get a tarp, it's cheaper and does the same job) - *fill the blank* skin bag or pouch (very expensive - I get it it doesn't get wet, but c'mon, who has the money to buy those things) all this is to say: leaving off grid and bushcrafting is meant to be cheap and a return to origins. The way many youtuber do it is just expensive and doesn't make sense to be. I just wanted to thank you for keeping it simple

[@Madcaps7615]

Hey Dave! Great vid. My husband was also a concrete finisher for 30 years. He’s recently retired, but he still keeps busier than he wants doing side jobs. His knees are pretty worn out. He carries a knee pad too. Thanks again! Take care and say “Hi” to Brooke ✌🏼

[@bobashmore6442]

Small knife, mini bic, small flashlight, cell phone. I have these things on me at all times. Vehicles all have tools, water, food geared for the season. That's about as EDC as I get and I gear up from there as needed for whatever is going on that day. Good video, nice to know I'm not alone in a more "minimalist EDC" approach. It's always seemed a bit stilly to me to "be prepared for the zombie apocalypse" and carry that in your pockets every single day.

[@Bushradical]

LOL. right

[@lalli8152]

I totally agree. Sometimes when you watch the EDC type content i seriously cant wrap my head round how all the tools would get regular use people seem to put in those smaller pocket organizers even. Then i understand if someone has specific reason for the item. What i carry with me often changes simply what i happen to do that day. Although i almost always have packbag with me in town if i visit stores, and such because i use it as my shopping bag as well, and damn that thing gets slowly filled with such random items.

[@jvin248]

Get a larger knife with a 'deep pocket' clip on them. That will completely change your idea of what knives you can carry. A few of the Walmart "four dollar flippers" are actually quite good. Growing up on a farm I wanted a locking blade, a thick blade, and a cheap knife, because they are always getting used as screwdrivers or tractor points scrapers or making dinner. I've heard the military guys liked the k-bar fixed knives because they held up to being used for non-knife tasks like prying out door hinge pins.

[@miciboo9993]

Please don’t drink from the water hose unless it’s pure rubber, the plastic ones have PCBs which are proven carcinogenic. If you’re really thirsty, drain the liquid from electric transformer. Yum

Best, most honest, EDC video on KZbin! With almost 1 million subs, Dave would have had but to ask and he could have been inundated with the latest "Gucci" flashlights, knives, etc., ALL FOR FREE just to make THIS video with their product. It's why I love his, and his wife's channel. They are honest people and not dishonest sell-outs like 99% of the people on YT. You know the ones, the channels that pop-up in your feed the week Olight is running a promo and they claim to use nothing but the Olight de jur and telling you that you should buy it even though you've never seen the product on their channel EVER before. Great video Dave!!! My only regret watching is that I can only give it one thumbs up!

Thanks, I appreciate that.

My EDC is pretty simple too. Water, a Leatherman (Wave), Zippo lighter, some tools, hatchet / axe in the truck, blanket, and I have to be honest, my Glock 20 (10mm) and a few extra mags. A flashlight too. Great video Dave. I'm Grumpy Old Man, and I'm radical. WOO.

[@user-hx9tp9cn2h]

Excellent lesson in what it means to be PRACTICAL! Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Your video reminded me of my younger years when my family & I lived within the geographical bounds of the Daniel Booned National Forest in SE Kentucky for 6 years. Weather often isoltaed us even from the nearest small-town, so we had to have what was really needed in our old second-hand vehicles.I never owned a 4-wheel drive, but using a Come-along, I have wenched my vehicles out of places where the 4-wheel drives remained stuck. Necessity was ofetrn the Mother of Invention! I've been away from there almost half a century, but the lessons learned there have been timely & timeless in a variety of emergency situations.

[@Jimmythepin]

As I wait for my last (hopefully) surgery in February, I plan on doing SO much of what I've seen on your videos, when I'm recovered in the Spring, especially a cabin build for my wife & I to get away to. This was a good and very important video. The axe is going in my truck tomorrow!

[@ScanMan1967]

Yes I definitely remember the go-bag days. Funny thing is that guaranteed 95% of the people never even used the bags, it was all about who could have the most glamourous and or expensive assortment of tools all perfectly organized in a couple hundred dollars worth of Maxpedition bags and pouches.

In Russia such "survivalists" are called "slightly protected source of survival stuff and some food you may need" ))))

[@jelkel25]

Had one I used a couple of times long distance cycling when the bike died. Hate to disappoint but it was a couple of cheap tarps (later a poncho and tarp), a very small kit for boiling water, a few energy bars, two multitools (bike and a general one), map and compass, water filter, few sachets of coffee, lighter, small first aid kit,water and the rest was clothes ect and occasionally some sandwiches.All kept in a small light cheap rucksack. No Maxpedition, no grappling hook, no big knife. You only stop walking when you are totally worn out and an elaborate kit would just become a burden. It's amazing how many don't consider the weight of what they are carrying for a long walk.

[@lukecrue1]

Haha exactly, all gear that looked brand new and never used too

[@Steakfrie]

I loved seeing the guys who couldn't fit all "essentials" into one create collections of go bags for any number of imagined scenarios.

[@paulbuckles5353]

I'm with ya on the pocket knife, water, tools in the truck and simple cellphone (yours is fancier than mine).

[@algernoncalydon3430]

When I lived alone in remote Alaska I always had with me an old german rubberized rucksack. I either always had it on my back, or in the canoe. It had four or five BIC, not cheap, lighters double wrapped in ziplocks, a magnesium lighter, a bag of various bullets, my big game hunting knife, a wool blanket in the top flap, a plumbers candle, a wad of oregon line string, a partial role of duct tape, a gun cleaning kit, a pocket full of ziplocks and grocery bags, a bottle of Hoppes gun solvent, a fifty foot length of poly rope, two extra pair of wool socks in a ziplock bag, a tube of marine underwater epoxy, and one of those little aluminum mess kits.

[@44Special]

I can relate to being somewhat disconnected from the "EDC" crew. So many of them talk about the latest tech stuff, sharpest knife, guns, ammo, etc. But then there's us, who have everything we need...with us...most all the time. It's just not very glamorous. I have hiked for most of 40 years with a key chain swiss army knife. I retired the Bowie after my second hike. I do carry a fillet knife. But that's fishing...lol. great video.

Water is No.1 when mobile for sure, Mr Radical. Spot on! Every vehicle I drive has plenty drinking water in it. Not just for my thirst; you can rinse an eye, wash a wound, clean your hands or offer it to a stranger in an emergency. I started to always carry water when my kids came along; "Dad, I'm thirsty". Sometimes the child really is the father of the man!

[@noyopacific]

Excellent video Dave, THANKS ! I carry a little folding knife" on my key chain that looks like it's a key. Use it almost every day. $2 from Harbor Freight. It'll take a fair edge but doesn't stay sharp for long. I've given lots of them to friends and most of them use it more than they ever expected to. Happy New Year !

[@CMCrockett]

Hey, Dave. Try prying the child-proof guard up out of the flame well. I use the 'handle' of a pair of nail clippers. It will bend up the little tabs that keep it in place. Use the clippers to bend those back down. Or, you can just slip something between the wheel and the child-proof guard to pry it out. No need to remove the shroud at all.

[@j.p.saverance8972]

This is what I do too. I use the small screwdriver on my SAK to pry the tabs up, then pliers to pull the guard out, then mash the tabs down again with the screwdriver.

In the past few years, I'd realized that in some form or another, I've had an EDC since I was in first grade. Always wanted to be prepared for that My Side of the Mountain experience, I guess. Now that I'm in my 40s, it's just second nature to carry what I might need. Daily backpack is a 24-hour kit. Tool bag and camping kit are always in my car with a 72-hour supply of food and water. I also can't wrap my head around people not carrying water. Thanks for sharing some common sense with the KZbin community!

[@joanneb3524]

That was my favorite book when I was a kid, right next to the Boyscout Handbook. I've studied survival tips all my life....and a lot of it has come in useful for me or other people. I'm confident when I travel alone wherever that might be. People think I'm nuts but I don't care. As a female, two things that are in my Jeep at all times...an empty coffee can and a roll of TP. :) I've got a couple decades on you but being prepared is never a bad thing....unless you just get too obsessed with it all.

I switched to waterproof (or all weather) notepads a few years ago. I work in construction and it's always wet or humid in Ontario and I find they don't get ruined in my pocket like the traditional paper ones do.

Thank you for your always practical and sound advice and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@danataylor8530]

I have a head lamp 🔦, but you have given me some more ideas 💡. Thank for sharing. I love your channel.

[@j.p.saverance8972]

I agree with your minimalist EDC philosophy. I carry a Victorinox Classic SAK as my EDC knife. I also carry a Bic lighter (currently a full size) with the child-resistant tab removed.

I have always loved your videos, the way you speak and teach people is just amazing. We thank you for everything you do. have the day you deserve.

[@Bushradical]

Wow, thank you!

If you gently work a small pointed tool or screwdriver under the ligher's safety spring (between the spring and the wheel), you can pry it up enough to yank it straight up and out with a thumb holding it (the spring) firmly against the tool. Avoids removing the collar to do it.

Thanks

While there are more ways than one to make fire or cut things, it's hard to find an adequate substitute for a good pick, especially one with an abrasive gripping area. ~Coming from a drummer who also plays guitar and several other instruments. Happy New Year, Dave! 💫 🥁

Thank you!, I live in NJ and we pretty much have every option available in every town not far away but I have a hatchet, machete , knife, skittles, water, tools, breaker bar, impact gun, 3T jack,jack stands, fluids, jump cables, jump pack, lights, lighter, extra clothes, rain jacket n pants, creeper, US-B and C charger, in my truck bed in one box. Always prepared for the inevitable break down to make life easier!

I don’t know how I missed this video since I’m subscribed. As a musician and someone who partially fell in love with your videos because of the vibe the music creates I have an even greater appreciation and reverence for you knowing you recorded all the music. You never fail to impress and inspire! 😂

[@americanconstitutionalist7485]

That was awesome!! For someone who is looking at properties to build my own homestead, this was very educational!

[@joephillips369]

Best EDC video ever. Thank You

[@famman8729]

I switched to a small pocket knife in the last year or so, but I started carrying a small bic lighter after you mentioned it in another video. Good stuff!!!!

[@jerryg957]

Most honest EDC I have ever watched, thanks Dave !

[@indyoutsider]

Well that's pretty much the exact same stuff I carry in my pockets except I also carry a folding pair of reading glasses that fit in my front pocket wallet. I don't carry the extremely small pocket knife, i normally take the midsize boy scout type knife. I like the awl in the screwdriver. Those are the only things I carry absolutely everyday. I do take all the things I need if I'm going on a trip or through the woods. I won't get into my truck EDC. But it has everything I think I might need for emergency. Thanks Dave for the video.
