Do you have one of THESE? Micro EDC Kit - (Everyday Carry Survival Kit 2024)

[@MaveRick-prepper]

Tip: swap out the produce bag for an oven bag. The oven bag is rated to around 350 degrees so that you can boil water in the bag.

[@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx]

That is a great tip. Thanks

[@chardin9337]

A surprisingly comprehensive kit for being so tiny, and finally NOT in an Altoids tin. Love it! ❤

[@SunniNomad]

Thankful more women are taking this more seriously. While it's nice to have a significant other who knows what they're doing so should we. Definitely practice with your kits ladies

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

Lipstick. Great video and mini survival kit!!! I would add a couple of nails, saran wrap, a ferro rod and striker, a mini sewing kit, a few gifts (Walmart, Target, Walgreens, fast food, etc.), some change, etc. With grocery or plastic bags, you can tie around a tree branch to collect water as well. I keep a multitool, flashlight, can opener, whistle, lighter, permanent match, nail clippers, pocket slingshot, tweezers, ferro rod and striker, a mini magnifying glass, and a mini signal mirror on a keychain in my pocket. Those things are easy to reach items in an emergency. I keep a mini survival kit in my pocket, as well. I am making my mom, sister, brother, sister in law, niece, nephew, and brother in law a mini edc/survival kit. My favorite items are your multitools, nail clippers, tweezers, and flashlight.

[@jclyntoledo]

Um, what would the nails and saran wrap be for?

[@cindykirby6245]

I've had a EDC kit in my purse for 30 years. I love and feel a little more comfortable knowing I have everything I need in my purse. ❤

[@bevami1]

I can’t believe you fit all that stuff into that little case! ❤

[@br2080]

What a great kit! The only thing I would “add” is a list of emergency contacts. You already have paper in the kit so it’s not really an add.

[@rayasingleton2671]

I have made many of these kits, always messing with them to get them just right, and I think yours goes above and beyond. I've never seen some of that stuff. Your firestarters sealed in the straws is an excellent idea!

[@rogergrove2453]

Excellent info. Just a year ago I was thrown off my horse on my families Central MT ranch, 🎉when she got into wire and then she rolled on me and broke my tibia. I was stupid and forgot my phone. Had to crawl 1/3 mile to a neighbors house. Thankfully he was home and I called my husband. Long story, but the MT ortho Dr almost killed me by wrapping my leg crooked as I needed to travel 500 miles to my home in Spokane for surgery. Thankful to still be here now!

[@kathym2501]

While watching I decided to go through my EDC I keep in my purse. I have an EDC kit I bought on Amazon. I added more to it but you have more in your smaller container than I can fit in mine. I have other items connected to a carabineer. I need to figure out what I did with the flashlight I had in there lol and I need a tiny first aid kit. 💋

[@milododds1]

I’m going to create a kit to hold spare medications, sometimes I forget to take them in the morning and if I’m out and about then I won’t have to go back home if I miss taking them for the day. Yes Benadryl is important, saved a kid’s life once by having it in my truck during a Little League game years ago.

[@sarahschreffler5407]

Yes. I have to take Benadryl with me because of a daughter with an allergy (Not needing a epipen. But she developes hives after contact with certain grasses so I feel it needs to be kept on hand all the time)

[@MelsThoughts1]

💄 My favorite is the P-38. If a manual can opener fails, you will need a way to open food cans.

[@cathyarmato7132]

This is so fabulous! I can't believe how many useful items you were able to pack into this tiny kit! I love it. 💄

[@dragon28022000]

Mini fishing kit is pretty great)

[@xseph]

Nicely constructed kit! I would consider adding a scalpel blade to be used for skinning a fish, if you had to. Cheers!✌

[@Raychiey]

oh, this is so cool. and maybe a paracord wrist strap as something you can clip to the outside clippy thing.

[@wickedprepared]

Yes, love this idea!

[@cindysams9832]

What a good idea. I like the one use charger and the whistle. Also, the mini towels.

[@jbell2910]

Lip stick emogi

[@MichelleJones-p4e]

💄I have always loved tiny things, so I love watching these EDC kits to see what ppl put in them. It’s like the ‘What’s in my bag?’ type videos - I love seeing what everyone has! You have several mini items in here that I think I will get to create my own. 😁 Thanks so much for this fun video!

[@DeeLuquetteFamularo]

💄 Awesome tiny EDC kit!! Very similar to what I carry. I've always carried stuff like this, even in high school, back in the '70s! 😂 The other kids used to call me K&B, which was the local major pharmacy chain. I really enjoyed your video. One suggestion is I noticed you have multiple multi-tools. Perhaps you could find one...ONE...that consolidated all of them, and free up a wee bit of space for more great stuff. Just a thought. Otherwise, fantastic job!

[@cookingwithshelleypampered1735]

While watching, I was packing my camper for our first camper trip! I have a lot of the items you discussed in this video in my first aid kit but need one for my purse! We are taking a weeks worth of meals in a bag emergency food to trial it. Thanks for all of your info!

[@l-_-ls]

Suggestion: put the paper in a small plastic zip bag. Same for the lighter. In case you ever drop your mini kit in water. Also, please don’t burn the straw. You have cutting tools. Your lungs will thank you. Otherwise good kit. Good video.

[@danniemcdonald7675]

WOW! I would love to see you pack a suitcase! 😂 You have a great assortment I like the whistle and the card charger. I'm looking forward to seeing your review on it. One thing I might add is eye drops ... to flush the eyes if something gets splashed, blown or sprayed into them. I use some lubricant gel drops (thicker than regular drops) that come in single-use units. They would be good to have if thete is a lot of sand, smoke or wind. Something else, and I guess it would be an individual choice is contact information, as well as any prescription medication and medical history. That could be folded in your aluminum foil ( great idea, BTW). Maybe change that $20 bill into some smaller bills so you won't have to pay $20 for something that costs $3. 💄💋

[@rexannam2646]

Just add a couple of sugar packets for quick energy or for controlling hypoglycemia for diabetes. I carry that, honey, and yellow mustard packets in mine. This is fantastic, and thanks for all of those links ❤!!

[@imaudm]

Survival mustard lol

[@todayslist37737]

What does the mustard do?

[@pueblodove]

if you use the tiny expandable cloth as toilet paper, and rinse it out, you can use the safety pin to attach it to your pack or clothing to dry out for next time. Wouldn't hurt to squeeze on 2. One for hands, and one for bum. an extra tiny pin would help tell them apart.

[@roaringturtle8181]

"I like to have all the things" LOL I love it. Glad you decided to share your version of minimalism, I got a few ideas of things to add to my EDC. Thanks for all you do!

[@LisaBarber-p8s]

Good morning, the bleed stop is a great idea. 💄

[@conniebertucci3432]

This kit is brilliant! It's hard to choose one item, they're all so important but the fact you had all of those items in that tiny pack is amazing!

[@eddymac1916]

I don't think the celox is recommended by medical professionals. The gauze with the infused blood clotting is supposed to be the better option.

[@christimorgret7818]

Favorite item: the single use charger. I love kits, plural. While getting so many useful items into one place is clever and appealing, I've never been comfortable having truly EDC things mixed with emergency use only things, especially packed that tightly. Nothing comes out but everything does, and then you have to stop and repack carefully, making sure no tiny tool gets left behind. My actual EDC hangs out in my pockets or purse organizer with SHTF in the bottom of a low profile bag.

[@scarletNbloom]

Great video! I have never seen anyone actually show how they get the nice smooth edges on the straw containers and I love it so much more know that I know!

[@Txkandee61]

Lipstick 💄 Thank you for doing this. Some of my family members do not prep much. But they are always asking me for suggestions. I am thinking about making a few to gift.❤

[@singerjo5791]

That’s a good idea!

[@Fab44Maria]

I love the Lipstick case, instead of and Altoids. I have most of these items in my backpack purse. I just order the wallet Nina.💄

[@maewyn01]

Thank you for this great idea! All these get home bags are great when you travel by car. I mostly travel by train, bus or cycle and don't feel like walking around with a heavy and big backpack all day. But this is very doable.

[@buttercup5470]

I liked the Wallet Wizard. I think I would tweak it a tiny bit just because of my environment. Also, I like the idea of making these as gifts for my family.

[@lskazalski]

I'm thinking about making these kids for my sister, her husband, her college age daughters, and maybe for my son & husband

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

Very helpful

[@airo30]

I would change the single-use charger with a multi-use charger. I can recommend the travel card charger. It's the same size (credit card site), but us slighlty thicker, and can be recharged.

[@reedamanda814]

I'd add a mylar blanket if I could get it to fit. Great kit!

[@wickedprepared]

I tried! Lol. But that would be a great addition!

[@DWayNana]

Wow! I can’t believe how well you fit all of this in such a tiny place. So many useful tools. A lot of thought went into this. Thank you. ❤

[@letswalkhome6133]

This is really comprehensive thank you

[@LivinglovingGod1st]

That was amazing! Very well executed kit. I’ll be sure to add some of these to my mini kit.

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Pink Firestarter straws! I think I will do purple. Nice job! Love it💜💜💜

[@todayslist37737]

As someone who absolutely loves tiny cute things, this video made my day. I will soon be stuffing cotton balls in straws- thanks for that tip😊

[@KaylynnStrain]

p38 is the smaller military type can opener, p51 is the larrger version

[@ccbewell3304]

I include a panty liner, some dental floss sticks, Colgate wisp mini toothbrush pick, single pack of toothpaste, dental floss (which I had to use to sew my tent one time, 2 pack bug repellent stickers. For tiny kits, I use plastic Orbit gum containers

[@missperfect8424]

Need to look into the single use charger. Thank you.💄

[@sweetypuss228]

Wow. This case is comprehensive and it’s obvious that you put a lot of thought into it. Kudos!

[@melissaalves7078]

Great kit, I love the wallet ninja! 💄

[@DeniceHenderson]

How smart! I will do this immediately. Thank you for this

[@RaeHadzega]

Recommend putting all the flat things on top wrapped in rubber bands or hair ties. That way they can be gone through with ease, it adds a useful item, they can stay organized and more accessible than on the bottom of the bag. You'd have to empty the whole bag to get to those items otherwise.

[@wickedprepared]

Good point.

[@jimjohandes]

What a fantastic mind you have!! Jim in California

[@libertyg4402]

This was fantastic! Added a bunch of awesome stuff to my EDC kit! Thank you for sharing!

[@beastar2]

💄love the mini items. Didn’t know about the mini glow sticks. Great information

[@mojobartle817]

Ive made two altoids kits already. Loved making them up. But i love ur one too.

[@WorldOfWonder66]

💄 Great kit. I love making these kits.

[@lynntezanos947]

You have inspired me to put one of these together. Thanks for sharing! 💄

[@lyndaleclair2826]

Amazing emergency kits !! Ingenious !

[@user-bi8ko7kc6h]

I have a mini edc but also a bigger edc case if I go somewhere slightly further away from home. I know it sounds weird but Switch cases are amazing. They are waterproof, can withstand some impact, most of them have a wrist strap and they are pretty long so I can fit a bigger torch inside as an upgrade of my mini torch with my keys, even some biscuits and electrolyte drinks powder.

[@nuvoclassic]

excellent! I'm 'an indoor girl' - but I want to make this for me - and learn to start a fire! I'm saving to watch again... Liked and subbed'. My fave item was the 'wallet ninja'! 💄

[@frankbeck3071]

I figured out the produce bag a short while back. I was surprised to see you had one. I haven't seen others include them in their kits.

[@CarolannRusso]

I think the best part is the fire starters you made and put inside a straw. Very creative.

[@crunchyhippiemama]

The flat card charger is awesome! 💄

[@kjpbeauty]

Perhaps a small rubber lure in the fishing kit in case you can’t find any bait in your surroundings

[@caroleecole3140]

This is ingenious!!! I'm a senior and have been trying to figure out how to get things together for a hand-held or pocket size EDC pack that will not weight me down, but have the emergency things I might need.....you have done such a fabulous job with this kit! I REALLY appreciate that you listed the items and where to get them. The only thing I would need to add would be an emergency body wrap like the mylar sheets that come in a small flat wrapper, if there's room in your container. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO....SOOO APPRECIATED!

[@rcgkreations]

Awesome emergency kit items!

[@tacticalbackpacker]

That's as good an EDC "Altoids" kit as I've seen anywhere on YT! Great job!

[@egarrabrants4122]

Yes!!

[@susieramick7202]

Thank you, great tips. Slip the kit into a quart freezer bag an extra water or gathering bag. Wrap bag around kit secure with flat rubber band . Rubber band on produce are great.

[@krissy012p]

This is so helpful! I've carried a version of a kit for years, nowhere near as comprehensive. Lots of great ideas in here and I love how compact you made it. I would say the wallet ninja seems redundant. What does it have that the other tools do not? I might be missing something.

[@jbeachbob58]

Hi Jara. Recent sub to the channel and am enjoying it. Great ideas. Have made many variations of these kits. It's almost like a hobby or challenge. Yes, something larger than an Altoids tin is better. Great stuff you have added to yours. You're not going to survive in the woods overnight with these kits, but could come in real handy as part of an EDC or in the vehicle like you said. Keep up the great vids

[@NavymomProud]

💄Thank you for the great ideas. I’m of the opinion that it’s impossible to be too prepared. I live in an urban desert setting so I’m going to research ideas for adapting a mini EDC accordingly. If you have any ideas I’d love to see a video on that topic.

[@j.l.emerson592]

💄 The super tiny keychain type multi-tools that I have carried for years are by Gerber... The Gerber Shard & the Gerber Mullet. I also have lots of mini multi-tools, usually unbranded, that I have picked up over the years. One of my faves is called the Scarab. (It really does look vaguely like a scarab beetle!) I've also carried the Leatherman Micra for decades. It takes me roughly 10-15 years to wear out a Leatherman Micra with careful use. Years & years ago, I found a really neat fishing pole... It's roughly about 1 foot long & 1 inch thick when retracted. (It's made of fiberglass) You feed the fishing line through the center of the rod. The lure & bobber are also stored inside the rod. To deploy it, you pull it out & twist each segment to use friction to keep the rod ready for use. I think I paid $5 for it about 20 years ago at a bait shop.

[@sharonnm6799]

💄A very interesting video. I love this idea.💄

[@lucylou6318]

[@ginnysvatek8995]

Great video💋

[@lorensims4846]

I usually make do with a tube of Neosporin and Band-Aids. You seem to have too many pocket tools. That multitool should be able to do everything. I use my phone for a flashlight and compass. A real magnifying glass can double as a non-disposable fire starter.

[@jesuslovesyou9032]

Love this! Would love to know kind of items do you keep in your car, video? Do you keep your get home bag in you vehicle? Thank you!
