[@darkdestroyer32]

Okay first of all, THANK YOU!!! My goodness! You have no idea how much digging I had to do for some actual EVERY DAY CARRY ideas. Like genuinely. 99% of all EDC is literally people who, every day, are apparent hunting a grizzly bear, performing literal surgery on themselves, building a cabin in the forest, followed by building tons of fires, filtering water and starting a farm, all with their "EDC kit". I don't know about you, but I ain't doing that shit on a normal day, or any day for that matter. I just wanted to see what people carry on them for the regular day to day use. Do I want to have a bag for a serious situation where I might have to do some manly ass sh*t to survive? Of course! But I just want to see PRACTICAL EDC where I'm just going to work, going to the store, going downtown for the day, maybe be cute and go for a jog. Like, if I need more than a small leatherman or a boo boo kit, I am going to have a specific set up for it. No standard person has an EDC like they are about to walk into a warzone. It's a cool hobby, but be realistic. I understand being ready, but people really gotta separate that out!

[@jito7377]

Yeah, this. It is a shame, that you have to classify the practical part. Many dudes out there are just trending and do not seem to really (=longterm) use their gear. If anyone knows more creators/video like this please recommend them. A daily usable EDC/EDU should not be as hard to find as it is nowadays.

[@inkshock]

Yep. My EDC is pretty extensive because it is build around the idea of "I leave the house for work, what if I won't come home for the night and need to sleep somewhere else". Which has happened before. So I carry stuff like a toothbrush and basic hygiene things as well. But many EDC videos seem to be tailored around the expectation that civilization collapses within 6 hours and every city and its infrastructure disappears in an instant and you need to be able to build shelter Rambo-like and hunt for food in postapocalyptic wastelands. Spoiler alert, that doesn't even happen in real life warzone situations. Also: the moment someone packs a first aid kit with a tourniquet, I stop the video and leave. There's this weird fetish for tourniquets in the survival-scene, but it is also a very reliable predictor that the person making the video is an idiot.

[@pressrepeat2000]

Haha, this is just insane! I can’t believe you fit all of that into that tiny bag. So practical.

[@Sblakeney1231]

I normally don’t comment on KZbin videos but this was in my recommendations and you sir nailed it. Everything in the bag just Makes sense and is practical and affordable all that’s missing is a lighter and maybe some bandages.

[@Grevlain]

What he said ------------------------------^

[@hamstermunchies5558]

I suppose the most important thing is to pack items that are the most useful to your lifestyle and circumstances. In mine I have a lot of bandaids of different sizes because I'm so accident prone. Also a lot of wipes because I'm always getting into messy situations like being pooped on by seagulls

[@stephanygates6491]

Bandaids were my first thought!

[@choppermike3329]

Seems like quite a few people want you to load up that bag but it is an EDC bag not a backpack. The only thing I recommend is to keep your mask in a Ziploc and your spare in a different Ziploc. They are like a dust magnet and may not be easy to wear when dirty and makes it easier to hand one over to a friend when you aren't touching it and it's sealed up. Other than that, great video, thanks!

[@mollymcdonald1854]

You can never have enough medical gear on you! I’d recommend adding some common medication you may need for a headache or stomachache, etc and some bandaids at least. If you really want to be prepared a tourniquet is a great thing to have on you. You never know if you or someone gets into an accident and needs one.

[@fgardner]

This is a great suggestion! I will add some basic medical gear to the kit - I'm going to need a bigger bag!

[@cdebutler]

Need that in the US

[@larryhunter8245]

I’d throw in a coupe of band aids and a few otc medicines. Great video.

[@fgardner]

Great tips - thank you for watching

[@PlantigradeWolf]

Thanks for the bag tour, I carry a lot of the same items in my EDC bag. I didn't think about having some nail clippers though! I will add one of those to mine :)

[@hausbehr]

Finally a everyday carry video for people who aren't pseudo survivalists

[@chrisbergeron860]

thank you for sharing your idea of a edc pouch. With all the full tactical kits out there, it's great to see a sensible version. Love it and plan on revamping mine with a couple of extras ie bandaids, sm Bic, disp gloves for a few.

[@Sanderson890]

Hello Felix, the bag seems nice, the shopping bag is a great touch, I will include it in my EDC bag too, thanks for the tip! One thing I would recomend is some kind of Multitool, even something like Leatherman Squirt, it's tiny multitool and has scissors build in (so you can skip on clippers). And I also like to include some basic lighter and a little bit of paracord (I once used it more than once, but yesterday I used it when my shoelace broke :D). Anyway great bag full of practical items! :) take care, Cyril.

[@TheVarzoth]

UK friendly EDC, nice. I think we have mostly the same stuff, except I carry a gerber MP600 multi tool - I love it because it's locking for the tools but is bladeless so UK legal. I also carry a small medpack with some basic plasters, paracetamol and immodium (lifesaving when needed :D), and a couple of sanitry pads (because I have a young daughter). I have some thin cordage, duct tape and sewing kit for minor repairs. Oh and a handkerchief because you should never leave home without a hanky.

[@karldavar]

wow what a good loadout. you are so prepared for everything.

[@raydomenech7646]

Very well done video, everything has a practical application, no wasted space.

[@spacecowboy6667]

Very glad to see a UK-relateable EDC! Subbed 😊

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

A practicality bag. Awesome stuff.

[@rocksoloud]

Chapstick lip balm would be a useful item doubles as a firestarter. A bic lighter, a comb, a hankerchief, small tool kit or multitool, small sewing kit, a beanie, extra pair of socks, micro first aid kit, handi-wipes, could all fit in as well.

[@EagleTrue]

A sewing kit ? This is a urban edc. If you need to sew something you just go back home. A firestarter ? In the city ? WTF

[@richardmyracle6198]

Great kit. I have a slightly larger bag. Almost all of the same items but I also use it to carry my lunch and coffee to work. Since I am a bit of a slob, I also carry a stain stick and mini sewing kit.

[@grumpyoldphart7325]

Nice collection. I agree on the Compact.

[@MichaelB2L]

Great video mate!! I like that photo stand. I laughed when you said sunglasses are a daily essential… here in the UK? 😂😜 and the suncream 😂

[@waldgeist03]

Amazing EDC! Great video! Thanks:)

[@faisalhamid61080]

Superb review video. Love the setup.

[@flodaho]

I'm a delivery driver and the first things I threw in my bag were a roll of ducttape, and a leatherman. I saw bandaids and OTC medicine, that is a great tip!

[@BillOnVideo]

The Victorinox Compact is an outstanding choice - thinnest SAK with scissors and a corkscrew. I would add some basic first-aid items or, at the very least, a handkerchief. Also a small disposable lighter and some lip balm.

[@alexthomson7465]

I love watching these videos so thankyou. I am always left completely dumbstruck by just how much stuff people carry! Your keys have more than I'd ever need for a day around the city. My video would be so boring.. Phone, bank card, earphones, door key. God I feel un prepared now. 🤕

[@frikihermoso8957]

Hey there. Really appreciate the UK friendly, non-tacticool set up. Few suggestions I haven't seen so far: super glue (1ml mini tube, mine lives with medical stuff), tape (gorilla / duct/ other) and string (paracord is far too thick for this size bag, I use 1mm Dyneema or Kevlar line, a 2 strand cord holds my body weight and 15m worth is a tidy, small coil). In my med kit, I always carry arnica cream for bumps and bruises (it's a lifesaver if you have kids, I do the thing with sealing a small amount in a 1 inch section of a straw, actually old rubber tubing). And finally: in place of a fidget spinner, if I know I'll have time to kill and I won't freak everyone out, then I carry a knot tying reminder card thingy with a 12 inch section of bank line (actually 2 different colour lines joined in the middle), learning/ practising new knots is so much more satisfying than social media or watching videos ;o)

[@fgardner]

These are all fantastic suggestions! Many thanks for your comment and for watching

[@javomw2]

yeah i am in america and all the edc vidss i watched to help build ideas all included guns and crap that yeah you might need if you pass by chicago at night but in reality you wont use, so this video was refreshing to see

Your setup is quite normal for everyday stuff. The shopping bag is a nice thing to have on you. Use as a bag extension (carry extra stuff) & also when shopping (in 🇲🇾 20 sen for a plastic bag).

Very nice ECD. Extremely practical and well thought out. Thank you for taking the time to share your EDC. A mini medical kit (a.k.a.) mini medi might be a good idea. Urban Prepper here on youtube has a couple of great mini medi kits on his channel. Cheers!

[@slytherinbrian]

The one thing I'm always missing from videos like this: show me what it looks like with your outfit as you're walking around town! Is it stylish? Does the bag flop about or stay put? Is it easy to rotate around to access without taking it off your shoulder? (I know what I need to carry around with me - it's finding the right bag that's the hard part!)

[@thehikinghessian836]

Good piece of kit, although an upgrade to a bigger, but not so much of a bulky bag maybe a good idea. That'll give u more space if u ever need to store something quick or on the go. A sling bag could be a good option.

[@fgardner]

You know I think this is a great idea, the bag is a little tight and I would like something a bit bigger... I quite like the look of the Pacsafe sling bags - might have to invest!

[@BingWatcher]

Wonderful presentation and collection of items. I did not know about the East Pak bag, I had one I got here locally, in fact I purchased several and over time the gained feet and left me. I tend to include fixit things, and consumables such as electrical tape, duct tape, wire and cable ties (bailing wire a duct tape, can you guess I'm in Texas) Love the iphone dongle, I have to get one as well as your charger, think it's pretty swift.

Excellent! I'm all for being prepared for various scenarios, and I do prepare. Butnwhen I run to the store, I don't need 2 extra AR mags, and assorted survival accessories. There is a place for those things, but not on my back as I go to the store for a loaf of bread. Keys, wallet, flashlight, knife, etc. Carry things used "everyday".

[@chrisk4418]

Awsome bag for edc! Small but yet not too small to not be able to fit anything in it. Me personally I like my steel/brass pens and markers because I 've had many plastic pens breaking on me over the years and making a mess in my bags or pockets and I am just so tired of it.

[@jondoealoe]

An empty 5 liter bag from a box of wine doesn't take up much room, but they're strong enough to use as a pillow; and I prefer one of them in a light nylon stuff sack, to any other form of canteen. My Zippos are edc, with extra flints, wicks, x-acto blades, small sewing needles, a coded credit card number, and a tiny container of lighter fluid. I disguise the credit card number as an address, in case I lose it. They can burn many kinds of fuels. And their value as trade items has never gone down. Over the years I've bought a lot of Zippos from yard sales for less than a dollar, added a few things to them, and traded them for meals, bus fares, and pocket knives (which had more trade value). Things that were worth a lot more than a dollar. I like to spend a little more on collector Zippos they don't make anymore. They're easier to trade in an emergency and you can get more for them. They're easier to sell if you adjust the wicks for tricks, and you can learn how to do that on KZbin. A tricked out Zippo can earn you drinks at a bar and open the door for conversations when you're stranded. I've lost money selling gold and silver in hard times. I never lost money selling or trading a Zippo. If you're starving and trying to sell your lighter for a meal, some people might buy you a meal without taking the lighter. I'm 63 and grew up homeless. I was raised by hobos, winos, junkies, ex-cons, Vietnam vets, and prostitutes. I hitch-hiked, hopped freights, and canoed all over America and parts of Canada; and I traveled to other countries. I've been down to the clothes on my back more times than I can possibly remember... A Zippo lighter is one of the best things to have on you when you lose everything else. They can be worth more than cash, and they make great gifts. I like to carry 2 or 3 of them when I travel.

[@lancedeejay]

A true utility stash is something I recommend. A tritium glow keychain to add to anything you want to find at night. An edc that turns into a plier. Just suggestions

[@victorygarden556]

What do you toss in your utility stash?

[@lonewolfgeoff]

very small first aid kit (assorted plasters, very small tube of antiseptic cream, headache tabs, antacids (bisodol), antihystamine (piriton/piriteze), diahoreah tabs (immodium) etc) would be a good idea

[@terratenientesalgo2511]

to be honest if i cant fit my edc urban stuff in my pants i am not bringing it because i always encounter situations where i must run and i find confort when walking being more important, so back packs and other kind of bag doesnt do it for me, my every day carry is always, my keys that come with a glow in the dark stick, a mini leatherman, a usb to c where i put all my work stuff, a compact skate tool and the keys, one basic spiderco knife, wallet, wireless earphones, a spare mask and 1 small usb c cable, to be honest i never stay more than 8 hours outside to ever need anything else.

[@ianholmes450]

OMG your me! It was like looking into mirror. The only difference I use a TWICK-PD USB-C fast wall charger dual port folding pin available Anazon £17.89. I prefer Anker products and use the Powercore lll USB-C wireless charger which supports my Samsung Galaxy Note 20. The Anker Life P3 USB-C wireless earpods with back up cabled buds. I switch between an Olight S2R ll Baton 18650 and RovyVon Aurora A33 torch depending on what I'm doing. The only extras I carry are the Uncle Bills Sliver Gripper tweezers and a ResQMe glass breaker and belt cutter. My pen is a Zebra F-701 and I carry a Nite Ize inka pen on my keys.

[@starfox-germany]

Guess the only thing I'd complain about is the flashlight. I prefer to have those that are powered by a standard AA battery (or two) as to me it's much easier to replace empty batteries. I wouldn't like to attach my power bank in case I run out of battery with my flashlight.

[@fgardner]

Agreed with the flashlight power - I'd never buy an 18650 flashlight unless it had USB-C recharging!

Honestly in my opinion it's too much stuff (unless i am in a rural area on a daily basis) but it's good to have some kind of medical kit. I'd try to get a small pouch just for that sort of essentials that you can fit in there so that's better organized or in your main bag.

Hello, Felix - a good setup... I'd say you could add a lighter, a small med kit in a zip lock bag, your "spork" could also go in a zip lock bag wrapped in tissues or cut down paper towels to keep it clean and for eating or if you have a bleeder...the moist towelettes you could keep with the meds for after meals or to clean a cut after you used the paper towels...duct tape...good idea not to show your keys...as you know, you can add or reduce your gear(and bag size) depending if you are out and about, a day trip or a longer trip...I have an Eastpak day/back pack in black which is really good...did'nt know they made smaller ones...good job! subbed...

[@jdshl8423]

Firstly, keep all your electronics and cables in a ziploc quart bag, for an obvious reason. Next, you will probably need wet wipes for general hygiene, basic first aid for minor cuts/wounds, a lighter even if you don't smoke, foldable sports cap, buff, arm socks, mini umbrella or ultralight rain jacket and pants (or poncho if you prefer). And to fit all that in, upgrade to a moderately sized fanny pack (which can also be used as a chest sling bag). If you want to carry a water bottle or vacuum flask, you might need to get a small backpack or messenger bag. The extra "foldable shopping bag" you have should then be of an alternative carry style, that is, pair a backpack with a foldable sling bag, pair a messenger bag with a foldable backpack, because it is not comfortable to carry 2 of the same kind of bags on your shoulders at the same time, if you know what I mean. And then, I cannot understand the need for such a massive carabiner. To tow a car? I carry 2 small carabiners (6cm) and 2 velcro straps (40cm).

[@remigioa6808]

its a good quality brand love it

[@m005kennedy]

I think the one thing you are missing is some first aid items. I would add different size bandages and some antibiotic cream. I would some headache medicine that is also good for aches and pains. Some Benadryl and anti diarrhea medicine. Also something for upset stomachs. And if you are talking some meds daily, a days supply if you can’t get back home and stay over somewhere.

[@mahrufurrahman9759]

Here's a tip, if you have a locking carabiner and you can place it over your fingers, it can work as a self defence object if used properly in times of need and it isn't usuallly something that would be seen as a weapon. REMEMBER TO LOOK AT LOCAL LAWS!
