EDC Bag for Everyday & Survival

[@rstanford73]

7 years later and it's still relevent!!! Thanks for the great material!

[@conquertheoutdoors4882]

Love the viseo, and love the fact that you arent affraid to share on KZbin that you are a fellow Christian. It really does plant a seed in peoples heads, because you are such a role model for people! Thanks for the videos and keep em' coming!

[@magnushjorleifsson4211]

Hey Sootch, Im 13 years old and a boy scout and I just want to say I love your videos. I'm starting to assemble my own bug out bag and EDC. I love your videos for equipment reviews and what you would put in a survival kit/bug out bag. Thanks again for making awesome videos. Keep it up! :)

[@haizi7179]

You're 18 now my guy, hope you're doing alright.

[@FarEastSurvival]

This is a great kit. Thank you for sharing. I would suggest adding a couple things. First I would add 2 or 3 energy gels. They take no space but are full of energy, caffeine and salts to help you out in a stressed out/exhausted situation. You can buy those at any outdoor sports shops. I would also add 1 or 2 packs of emergency drinking water that comes in 125ml pouches. They are light, small and last years so you dont have to worry about replacing them. In an emergency you'll be glad to have a clean source of water to keep you alive for an extra one or two days. I would recommend replacing the plastic drum liner with a 5'x7' MEST ultralightweight tarp from BCUSA. It only weights 6 ounces and takes up probably less bulk than the trash bag but it can be your shelter, rain cover, hammock or blanket. If you wanted to have the trash bag instead, I would recommend not using the black colored bag but instead white or orange. If you are changing a tire in the rain, you want to be seen by other drivers. It'll also be better for signalling in emergencies.

[@mikerilling6515]

A nice option for every day carry notepads are the 3“ x 5“ notebooks from Walmart 24 of them are something like $18 which would last a couple of years and if you jump onto Amazon, you can get the leather cover for $11 so there’s no need to pay retail For everyday carry

[@jimholladay2383]

Great video. In your case maybe it's a sootchel instead of a satchel

[@mattcimp7]

I was always that scout in the group that had twice as mush as they needed, mostly knives, gadgets, etc. I'm still that way today, love my maxpedition jumbo. I keep mine a little empty so I can throw in extras when I need them and to save weight in my day to day carry.

[@RealitySurvival]

Excellent EDC kit! I love my lil fatboy. Hadnt thought about using it for an EDC bag. May have to pack it up! Thanks *****

[@jaytheirish]

I use those cheap orange waterproof match tubes, remove the flint from the bottom, and they hold 2 CR123 batteries perfectly with a folded piece of cardboard in between them from the packaging to keep them separated. Works like a charm. Great vid!!

[@ron78]

Got a Jumbo Versipack S Type and love it. Can't see every needing another EDC bag. Thanks for the exceptional review and helping me decide on a great bag.

[@evoneEVOLUTION]

thank you for being someone else who understands how useful a head lamp is and how much easier it makes doing other things while you use it. so many people dont see the use in one yet still collect mass amounts of flashlights

[@proximal13]

SensiblePrepper What I find so comical is you said "it's a satchel, not a purse" literally as I was thinking "it's like a man purse". Haha awesome! I really appreciate these videos. This helps me greatly as a newbie to the sensible prepping game. Thanks!

[@brennanaardsma1325]

I am so glad you are a Christan.

[@Dietdrshasta]

Just a friendly suggestions for those who carry it every day. Remove redundant items. Remember the basics of survival and EDC. A way to purify water, food, a way to start a fire, and a knife should be on your person, but when it comes to knives...You can never have to many, so a backup won't hurt, and everything else needed for your daily lives. Keep up the videos Sootch.

[@thecajunblaze]

Love the end with the main use of that fire kit.

[@joezbackwith2gatz]

Nice kit Don... Yeah each of our kits is a very personal thing... Nothing is right or wrong but it's just good to be prepapred... I use a term called ADC or "All Day Carry" for the items on my person but I also have my Get Home Bag handy but not on my person... It's like I always say... Let's all learn from each other. Joe Tactical

[@sootch00]

Hey Joe, I like the ADC acronym. I'll definitely use that in the future.Thanks for the comment Brother~

[@joezbackwith2gatz]

Thanks and thanks for the reply... I always enjoy your videos and the out takes crack me up...

[@Knightsabre75]

Good kit! I might suggest adding a Clif bar or two. I keep a one in my EDC kit and rotate it out periodically. They're compact, inexpensive, come in a variety of flavors (including some infused with caffeine!), and better for you than a candy bar, plus they won't melt all over the inside of the wrapper. Tasty, too!

[@MrLightPanda]

I carry a 1.5 L bottle of water in my EDC and a light snack in a waterproof container as well. The water is heavy but i definitely do not want to be without it in my native Texas heat. I also just want to say thanks for being calm cool and collected in your videos and giving very thorough explanations of what you do and why. It is very valuable and also it's always nice to hear from a kindred spirit. Thanks again i appreciate all your videos so far.

[@MrGattor33]

I am not sure if anyone has said this or not but ideally it is recommended that you use the Rite in the Rain pens that goes with the notebook you mentioned otherwise the notebook is useless. This pen is All-Weather, Write on Wet Paper and Upside Down in Temperatures From -30 Degrees F to 250 Degrees F and it works very well, i know first hand from usuing these things serving in Iraq and Afghanistan..... GREAT VIDEO!!

[@TheLakeMorgan]

Thank you for serving!

[@MrGattor33]

Winxandwarriors Thank you for the support... and this ink pen can write in oil grease and as well as blood and it is a bit harder to get off if you write on your hand with it; nothing a little extra scrubbing won't handle.... lol

[@chrisulfen8775]

MrGattor33 thank you for your service. You fight terrorists?

[@MrGattor33]

***** I AM NOT GOING TO EVEN REPLY TO YOUR BULLSHIT!!!

[@TheLakeMorgan]

***** My cousins are in the military, even if the government is what you say I still love the ones whom go into the force. There is a difference between the higher government people and the men and women who give their lives.

[@tyomen]

I have a telescoping pen fishing pole and reel in my "belt pack", as I call it. As well as hooks, sinkers, a bobber, and a few different lures. But, finding bait near the fishing location is an option as well. With that in mind, I keep some fishing line, a hook, and a needle in a pill bottle in my pocket as well, along with a Streamlight Microstream flashlight, Leatherman PS multitool, and my keys, which have a Phillips screwdriver, 1 inch of a stainless steel ruler, a cuff key, mini picks and a stainless cross. SNZG15 Seiko 5 Sports automatic watch on my wrist with the urban camo Zulu band. My Tighe 1090 blade and a carbon steel old timer both in my watch pocket. Flat blade(made from a stainless steel ruler) in my wallet, along with two bars, 1 ounce, 10 grains, silver. Camo bandanna in my back pocket(Homemade-twice the length of a normal bandanna). I also wear leather boots with full leather gussets that go all the way up to the top of the tongue, mink oiled when needed, and clean them regularly by hand. I also have a brain I carry in my hard head, have to rattle it every now and then, but it works. Thanks for the video, and God bless us all, with a better understanding of Him. ;)

[@louisianaridgerunner4830]

Here's SOME of what I tote in my EDC bag: Quart steel jug with nesting cup, fire tinder and ferro rod, lighter, straw-type water filter, water purification tabs, medium and small knives, Leatherman, sharpening rod, paracord, bandana, two flashlights, compass, scissors, ibuprofen and allergy tabs, hand sanitizer, fork and spoon, pen and Sharpie, crescent wrench and screwdriver with bits, Jet-scream whistle, and various other stuff. Need to add something for cover, and maybe some small binoculars, but my bag is already pretty heavy! I've used a Victorinox-branded backpack for years, and it's held up really well.

[@louisianaridgerunner4830]

Oh, and subscribed to both SensiblePrepper and Sootch channels. Long live the Republic!

[@passionearmiariacompressa883]

great vid dude! I always have a little backpack with me filled with a bandana, multitool, hand sanitizer, a little plastic tube container with safety pins+metal clips+nails+screws and bolts+sewing kit, electric ties, duct tape, a little book on happiness, 1.5 liters water bottle, poncho, paracord, 2 little plastic bags, lighter, torch, tea light candle, and an emergency kit

[@kaseemwilliams2690]

it would be a good idea to have something to snack on in your bag.

[@vulcanez]

Very well prepared. May I recommend a mylar sleeping bag and tent. Also A fixed blade for bush crafting & wood processing. You never know when the woods maybe your highway home. Local & regional maps would be great also. They fold up small & barely have weight.

[@2right4words]

like the quality of your vids; my sister taught me to never have a light near my body, because people shoot into a light. She always taught me gun in one hand, and a light at arms length to only give them a hand to shoot at.

[@scottjames4486]

I have the jumbo S type for the last 4 years. I use it for day hiking and EDC for my vehicle. Since I use it as a day hiker it has many survival items for emergency over night. I carry 3 13 rd mags for my glock 30 or 21. The jumbo is nice because you can carry a crap load of jerky and lunch!

[@BigHef32]

Working in IT, I always have my backpack with me as I keep my laptop in it. I find that it's important to keep a stash of my daily meds in my backpack. 3 days worth of prescriptions is handy, as I've gotten out the door in the morning, half way to work and realized I forgot to take my meds that morning. Also, being allergic to bee stings, I keep my epi-pen in my pack as well.

[@DonnyB]

Spot on and well done. I like the channel and the fact that we share the same Faith. Your videos are well done all and I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors. God bless you and yours and take care!

[@frankm.2850]

The only thing I'd add is a water bottle and some kind of food item, like a couple energy bars. Even in an urban setting I like to have the three basics with me. (shelter being the garbage bag, or in my case a compact water/windproof jacket with a hood).

[@jugg34naut]

Loved this video! Thanks. The only change I would consider is to make your trash bag clear so that it can also help you out with water procurement by making a still. If you're going to pack it you might as well get another use out of it.

[@daveagar5594]

I also carry a halved hacksaw blade with many meters (sorry...I am Canadian) of electrical tape, plumbing tape and duct tape all wrapped on it. I cut the blade to 4 inches and it all fits perfectly. I used the end of the saw which has the hole so I could put it on my key chain. its very handy.

[@hughstewart3244]

I've carried a small rucksack for a coule of years now with various items in it. Your bag however seems a much better option for a start its better organised. You have given me something to think about which is really the point of this video. Shared ideas and ideals. Onwards and upwards friend.

[@zemquoi]

My kids call it my purse, but I have been traveling with a "possible" bag for 25 years. Only about 10 years ago did a friend introduce me to that term. The mountain men of the Wild West had a bag of gear that never left their side, which made it "possible" to survive almost any calamity that might befall you. I find it to be a great supplement to your self reliance capabilities. Your video really helped me with my system though. I realized that mine needed a rebuild/reboot and that many of my systems were beyond their shelf life. Plus you had several items I had not ever considered. They will be in there now! My first new purchase is going to be a bible. And perhaps a Maxpedition bag.....

[@Deepcore854]

Sootch - Great video. Been following your channel for some time. Instead of the Frontier Straw, I have the Sawyer Filter. You can use it like a straw, or you can use it to fill a water bottle. What I like about it is, it can filter 100,000 gal. and is extremely light. Pls continue the vids, very informative.

[@bomartin]

took a trip to Gatlinburg over the Christmas holidays, snowed, everyone though my EDC was a man purse, until they got hungry, ( I had protein bars)cold,(hand warmers) got stuck in a traffic jam, (Samsung tablet) stuff to flavor water, heartburn and headaches were taken care of. over all, at the end of the day everybody was glad I took it thanks, for your videos. we enjoy them.

[@doomsdayjoy]

i know what you mean,im always the one who carries an edc bag or gear on me & most of my non prepper friends always seem to need something that will help fix or repair or snack to headaches.i just laugh cause they arent always or never prepared.

[@DrKeggs99]

Thank you for sharing. One thing I might suggest adding would be a water bottle attached to the bag via carabiner or other method.

[@lynnkunkel503]

Hand and footwarmers during winter months will save fingers, toes and core if needed. God Bless! Happy New Year

[@negolfman]

Maybe add a spare bic lighter attached to paracord connected to a roll of chapstick with a cotton ball & petroleum jelly in the cap and then add gorilla or gaffers tape around each. Adding a small zip tie around the button of the bic lighter prevents your lighter from losing its fuel and can be removed and replaced once zipped, clipping the extra length makes it a little sharp though can be filed to prevent cuts. Plus the adhesive sticker is also flammable, once you have a empty lighter if the wheel is removed slowly the springs can be made into a snare & fishing hook and the childproof metal can be removed and can also be made into a fishing hook.

[@Blueknight-ri1ne]

Awesome, I have the same bag I use for, for a bail out bag. Like you said keep for what you need right now, some of the items you have could go in your other bag that you carry in your vehicle. Erengy bars I would add, bottle of water. Thanks for video and info.

[@thauser777]

Band aids, neosporin, glock tool, extra parts kit for glock, sanitary wipes, Chapstick, sunscreen, gold bond, sewing kit, latex gloves and a comb!

[@faithrada]

I just got a 2 battery cell phone charger. Each battery holds enough power for 2+ charges. I'm keeping one in my bag... just in case. I also have a reg. Car charger but that's only good if the car's running. I like to keep a little x-tra cash in there. Also, I need perscription glasses .. so an old 'get by' pair is essential. Definately some Trail mix. Winter's coming..so gloves, wool cap & an ice scraper.

[@georgeof78]

You forgot your pocket reference book! I have a shoulder sling satchel that I have for EDC and the main compartment zipper is starting to fail. Had it for 5 years and can't find the same one but after seeing that I carry the same items the bag you are showing is better. There is a few things you had in the bag that I should get too. My friends made fun of me carrying a bag saying it was my purse. But that quickly changed when it was my satchel that came to their rescue. A good boy scout is always prepared.

[@TheSnowman44077]

While I've carried much of these things in my daily driver pickup, I'm new to the EDC bags. Great, realistic, well though out video and bag. Thanks, subscribed!

[@dslag7812]

After watching 20 or so videos and seeing the information you have put together I decided to subscribe.

[@ncprepper100]

Another great video! I have the UTG version of this bag as my small get home bag, but I may end up getting another bag to make into a kit like this.

[@itildude]

Well done sir. Solid advice and a nice bit of humor at the end! Long live the Republic. It is a shame how few understand that we are a republic.

[@_xdm]

Great Video! TY!

[@dafrogtoad]

I carry a Camelbak M.U.L.E. using a very similar philosophy..good video Sootch.

[@os2soliz]

Thanks for the video. I think about what I need on a day to day basis and to get home. Our needs are different but it got me thinking about incorporating items on a daily basis. Again thanks.

[@COBHC8890]

I love Maxpedition bags, but I only use mine for my car. My edc/carry bag I use for work and stuff, I switched to a nice, simple, (nobody pays attention to me) Oakley Extractor sling pack. It holds all my edc essentials. (Phone charger, first aid, extra mags, batteries etc etc)

[@thejoshbtv]

I have 2 of the AR500 Armor Tactical EPIK and got the SOF tourniquit for one of them. These are great kits. Really everything that I think that I would need in one of types of kits. Also, they seem to be the most reasonably priced armor out there if you are looking to get some for a SHTF moment.

[@Nonameministries]

I have one like that I love it! So much room for something that looks so small.

[@ToyMuseum-lw3pz]

I bought 5.11 sling bag it still looks brand-new I bought back in 2014. It's true what they say if you want quality you have to be willing to pay for it.

[@hdv8728]

Great video. I use the Vanquest Envoy for my EDC. I use it daily serves as my brief case and EDC bag. I personally prefer a messenger type bag. I use it in both urban and rural settings.

[@nickharwell9909]

that was pretty cool showing ur mess up takes. liked seeing an outdoor prepper/ edc person not be soooo serious.

[@dilutedrep2864]

Great video everything in there is wonderful !! A couple things id add is eye drops incase of dust or rocks get in your eyes . Maybe a small adjustable wrench .some sort of eye protection that can be use at night .and a collapsible water bottle . living in the desert can be different than a forest climate or urban city . a small crowbar can be gold in the city but almost useless in the wilderness. every one has individual needs that should be adjusted to the invironment

[@DeltaNovember1776]

A compact Mylar blanket is a good thing to have this time of year!

[@TJGAUTHIER]

Hey, great video. I'm pretty sure you are the one that convinced me to get my Fat boy over a year ago and it was one of the first videos I saw of yours. I'd like to make a suggestion, if I may. I carry a mag with a mag pouch in the pocket that you carry your cord in. That way, I've always got a way to throw it on my belt.

[@AngstBoy42]

Anyone else amused by the irony and impracticality of packing a Gideon bible into your EDC/GHB? It's not the first time I've seen it. (Though I suppose it could make good tinder...)

[@gusanogs]

Nice purse

[@goodnluckyone4447]

For any EDC bag that spends a lot of time in the car (and what EDC bag doesn't?) I recommend a small fire extinguisher. Even smaller ones are heavy, but If you must abandon the car you can also abandon the extinguisher. I don't think I have ever seen this recommended for EDC, but if you need one, you will certainly regret not having it in a big way.

[@TheSilverBinder]

I carry the big brother to your bag and have ever since it came out! The only thing I've replaced have been the barrel slides on the main pocket. If I could learn how to do videos I'd put one up. I may do some stills instead. No one needs to hear me talk on. I carry it with me every where. If you see me in Wallmart the bag will be with me! I have to leave off the concealed carry at work. I teach and the district rules say no weapons on school property. I have to drop my 1911-A1 down the block at a friend and coworkers house. Like you my vehicle carries a more robust assortment of gear.

[@RideEasy21]

In a lot of EDCs I see on KZbin, I havent seen one person carry a rite-in-the-rain pad. Well I carry one in my rear left pocket, since that is my least used pocket in my pants. Never know when something pops in your head and youll want to write it down, or writing down license plates, other info, etc...

[@dannyl2598]

Protecting those battery terminals against acsadental shorting from say keys or something would be a good idea. Thanks for the video.

[@privateinfo77]

scotty vests are great! I have the expedition coat, it zips off to be a vest, have used it for traveling extensively. I highly recommend their products

[@CraigSheppard]

Nice bag Sootch...I'd be sure to include earplugs, contact lens solution and case, a backup pair of glasses, and a USB charger or backup battery. Earplugs are self-explanatory, I can't sleep or spend an overnight in contacts, and I'd always want a way to charge my phone in an emergency. That's just what I do. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos.

[@polimorfonuclear]

Great vid. I would like to add 1) any Fixed blade 3-4 inch side (black jack 155 model, BR Bravo necker or Eskabar). 2) a good cuality compass, 3) some cash. Thanks for the video.

[@CallmeDaBreeze1971]

A couple of years ago I put together a bag similar to yours using the Condor Deployment bag. The Condor products are affordable and work well for me, I get them at the US Cavalry store. The bag turned out well for my first effort. but I'd like to expand into a something bigger. Great vid as always, thanks.

[@danmcmartin]

I wish you'd done this a few weeks ago. I just put together trauma kit for my self defense bag that will work but those AR500 kits look to more compact than the Quik-Clot Trauma kits and the price is similar. Good video.

[@Theoutdoorproject80]

Hey sootch i watch all of your videos and i think that there great, good solid advice, and i know i was raised by a survivalist, prepper black ops special forces dad who in the last 8 years of his 20 in the usmc trained navy seals, before becoming a homicide detective, i was trained in the army also and became an airborne ranger. 11b1v, i also spend most of my time these days in the woods, deep in the woods , and what most people think of survival, i find relaxing and meditating, i also love my gear, i am a big outdoor bushman and ive put 1000s maybe 10s of thousands into my gear, aafter feild testing and alot of research, ide like to think i at least have an idea of what good gear is, i know maxpedition very well i love most of there sgtuff anad own a ton of pouches and storage bags from maxpedition, im a huge fan and i hate to say this but I have to tell you that you should really check out vanquest gear, there very well thought out and very well made, it would be worth your time to check out, i recently got a vanquest trident 20 back ( and a pack of speed clips and a edc husky maximizer. And the large medical pouch, just for an edc bag, otherwise i use one of 4 different bags when i go out depending on the timeframe in which im going out from largest to smallest, my eberlestock halftrack for longer trips, my rush 5.11 72, then to my daypacks i have a camelbak hawg 100oz antidote, for day hikes and my tasmanian tiger tt trooper lite for short treks, and i have a ton of gear riflee handguns ect that i interchange depending on the situation, but they all have a baseline of gear i think nessesity for survival if need be, i can't think of everything but i like to give myself as many options as possible, anyway please check out vanquest trident 20 backpack, and gear its well worth the money and time. There in my opinion one of the best out there.

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I would add a knife to cut meat and a spork or just a set of utensils if you eat out a lot or in your vehicle. Also I always carry napkins in my car (In a Ziplock bag) to blow my nose or whatever. People might laugh, but napkins, tissues, paper towels and even toilet paper are something you'll wish you had when you need them. Bars or small bottles of soap can help cleanse a wound or at least be used to wash your hands before applying bandages or first aid to a sick or injured person. For people who travel a lot, might be nice to include some hygiene items. I carry stamps, small scissors and tape to mail stuff on the fly.

[@deputygunner]

Excellent video as always. I agree with your comments on Maxpedition products. I use a "S" Type Fatboy G.T.G. as my EDC and have a "S" type Fatboy as a Bedside Bag.

[@dowtech]

I've been following your evolutions on EDC and share your enthusiasm for Maxpedition. I have an early Fatboy that doesn't have the carry handle, and that was a problem as an EDC bag. When I was commuting to work, I carried a Falcon II, which I still love and is my Go Bag for short term emergencies, and usually parked by my back door. (Matter of fact, I have a second one that I carry in my car equipped specifically for Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) call-outs.) My Fatboy is repurposed now (based on one of your other vids) as my "Litany Bag" (for when "things go bump in the night/Good Lord deliver us"). It stays by my bed and can be slung over my shoulder whatever I'm wearing. Now that I'm retired, after a couple of trials that didn't work out, I have the Maxpedition Noatak. It has a carry handle, slings easily, holds a lot of gear without looking overstuffed. Keep on inspiring!

[@seanbeasley2894]

Hey there Sootch, with all of the EDC bags that I have seen and used none of them were water proof, and let me tell you if you ever get caught out in the rain or down pour you will wish your bag was water proof, So to solve this problem I now put everything in my EDC in water proof bags and just this past July I got caught out in the rain , I got wet but every thing in my bag stayed dried to the bone.

[@ilovedragons]

Always great to see your vids. Thanks to you I am now prepared I guess as much I can be!

[@rorbellable]

Sootch, how many of those bags do you have? Throughout the video, the zipper above your name has a paracord closing handle. The signoff shot has one of those easily breakable metallic ones. I would suggest cutting all of them off, and putting paracord ones on. They won't break!

Great follow-up to the review I saw in 2010. I bought one because of that video. Since then my wife has confiscated the Fatboy, so for awhile it was my satchel, but now it is a tactical purse.

Like the review, I have things in my EDC(all but my handgun when travelling back to NJ).

I want to thank Travis Beach for having my back. I has ask Travis that I was in the need of an EDC bag that I can grab an go for a quick fast trip. I live in south Florida, and shorts with pull string and Tee shirt is the norm. not much in the way of carrying stuff. great review, as you said better to pay now then twice later, or something like that. lol
