EDC Repair kit Set Up

[@bhoward9378]

Critically underrated video. Super glue is useful for first aid; sewing needles can be used for wound closure; duct tape can be used for everything, plus fire starting, etc.

[@ryanrichards6104]

Good luck sewing up a wound with a common sewing needle. I’m an healthcare provider and have sutured wounds without local anesthesia using suture on a cutting needle. That’s a struggle, even when using a needle made for the purpose

[@livingnomadmatt3064]

I have had one like this made up for years ,it's so handy I end up grabbing this before my regular tools, biggest thing I can say remember to refill once in a while !

[@Brian_G_USMC]

You should add a bic lighter or mini bic inside the bank line handle. It’ll help with securing paracord, a fire starter, helps with welding plastics together. All sorts of stuff

[@r.samuelfranks3615]

Great video! I also carry the small tube of J.B. Weld, a small amount of aluminum foil, electrical tape, and a few nails. Most importantly, although it won't fit into your pouch, I always have some sort of hammer, and a small pry bar.

[@codybill24]

Great idea! A basic repair kit for random stuff is always useful even just for everyday items, and could be even more critical at any given time. Carrying a simple emergency sewing kit, for example, has helped me (or others) numerous times in a pinch. I barely even know how to sew properly, but it's not hard to make a temporary repair. Highly underrated, and I hadn't considered making a dedicated repair kit, but I think I will now!

[@lewishaynes4931]

I have one of those…. But, it is spread out between trucks, sheds, coat pockets. You have reminded me that I need to get my stuff together.

[@kevinford4191]

Don, a list of items would be a great addition to this excellent video

[@mrlautomotive712]

Spare buttons go well with the sewing kit

[@DamionJR4923]

Add a small magnifying glass, small crescent wrench, paper clips, electrical tape and a few nails. (Nails can be used as a punch).

[@robertivey3268]

Small nails can go in the small zip lock bag with the safety pins.

[@Nunya9876]

Good fairly small/medium repair kit-screwdriver bits with driver (with or without ratcheting), at least 2 sources of light 💡, glue, notepad with writing instrument, zip ties (you can connect several smaller zip ties into a larger zip tie), repair tape, needle with thread, small diameter wire, (I’d have a small metal hacksaw blade/wood and plastic blade), multitool, adjustable wrench, mirror (to see underneath), small diameter rope/cordage, extra batteries, and some basic tools I’m almost always grabbing to fix something.

[@andreasraders6171]

Cheers from Germany! Super Set. Just made Mine today Greetings

[@deandaugherty3280]

I would add a small crescent wrench and one sided razor blades

[@jamessotherden5909]

I would add a small crescent wrench. that is a nice setup for tools.

[@DB-yj3qc]

Three tools I carried as a young 11B before I got a Leatherman always a good knife. 3in Cresent wrench and 3 in Vise grips can be a lifesaver tools. I still have adjustable wrench in pouch with Leatherman tool. 👍

[@stephenwest798]

I always called them crescent wrenches until I realized they were adjustable end wrenches made by many different manufacturers. But to this day when one says crescent wrench people know exactly what you're talking about.

[@stepheneddington1667]

Good kit setup. You can always think of something else to add, but you've got most of the basics covered. This is an excellent addition to any backpack setup for survival, fishing, or a day at the range. There's hardly any situation I can think off where something like this would not be of benefit.

[@jeff-fm5nz]

Couple ft of small solder for electrical repairs . Great video

[@robertivey3268]

With that you will need a soldering iron of some sort. Many different options available.

[@neoaliphant]

I would add hotglue gun sticks, and add a lighter to the capped container of the twine....and some bicarb powder to add to the superglue to make instant plastic

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

I want one of those repair kits !👍

[@unfi6798]

Be strong & courageous. Merry Christmas & safe New Year to Sensible Prepper & Team. Cheers from Australia.

[@69adrummer]

I love the addition of some of the "forgotten" things like sewing. Yeah, I've learned to sew buttons back on my shorts - - either they get smaller, or I get bigger! haha But it is one of those things I think a lot of folks don't think about or consider... yeah, there's barbed wire, there's snags and branches and slides down hills and animals, etc... Being able to do a quick, passable field repair on a jacket, pants, tarp or rain cover is highly advantageous... not to mention learning a few basic sutures wouldn't hurt!!

[@Olyphoto7]

I suggest adding some MeFix tape (great for first aid and quick fabric repair), a lighter, heat-shrink tubing, pre-threaded needle, swap out regular zip ties for reusable zip ties, and a few dog poop bags (great for holding small parts).

[@LostLittleElf]

That looks packed out but I could see adding a mini tape measure, blanket pins, Coghlan's tent repair kit, silcock wrench, and maybe a ring of heavy equipment keys. Great info as always thanks!

[@Viper6Actual]

You NEED to have a paint can opener in your pack. It works AMAZING for getting stuck cases out of your AR. I have had them get stuck and your fingernail ain’t gonna get it out of the chamber

[@trekker8033]

If we had to carry everything you suggested Sensible, our EDC would weigh 100lbs. I carry a lot less, about 5 lbs worth, and I do alright. The rest is in my car or in my 4 other locations apart from my main stash! Other then this, love your videos and info Sensible, I have learned alot from you over the years! Keep up the great videos!

[@frostbite9492]

I’d add a magnet on a ring that you could use to retrieve a dropped set of keys, and perhaps upgrade the precision screwdriver to a 10 in 1 with some torx or hex bits to work on electronics?

[@patriotpreacher43]

Small magnifying glass, even one the fire starter fresnel lenses can help you see things you are trying to work on or read an instruction booklet/card with really small print.

[@greenjello]

Oh, man... great video! I have most of those repair tools... but they are spread out and jumbled up across multiple "tool bags". You have convinced me to wrangle them all and get them into a smaller, organized bag! Thanks again!

[@wolfgangeulerich9928]

Add a bic lighter. Fits into your cordage spool.

[@JustaFanBoy]

I have cornered the market on pre-owned twist ties - specifically bread bag twist ties.

[@ranger5309]

You go, you entrepreneur! 😂🤣

[@paulscofield5444]

Hey Don. Though I am sure that you have it elsewhere in your bug out bag or pack, I would suggest adding another firestarter or matches here. Having the ability to make fire is second only to water (I think), that I would risk the redundancy to have that also in your EDC Repair Kit. FWIW.

[@SensiblePrepper]

Thanks Paul, I agree that fire starters are vital to survival. I decided to leave this as a repair kit and have your fire kit handy in your Get Home Bag. But that's the beautiful thing about these kits. Very personal set ups to fit your needs.

[@patriotpreacher43]

@@SensiblePrepper lighter is a tool. Melting cordage ends to avoid fraying, thawing a frozen padlock and many other things.

[@kevinbrown9831]

A mini torch

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I hold fire above water, purely because fire can give you water easier than water can give you fire. 😂🤘

[@69adrummer]

@@OldNavajoTricks That's a very cool way to look at it.

[@lens7859]

Fantastic idea, will probably set one up for the house

[@campbellfamily1928]

Lots of great ideas. Taking note sir! Thanks.

[@shodanhk]

This is good thanks. A written list would be nice though. Keep up the good work!

[@jasonbeecher509]

Great looking bag I always carry a 8 inch adjustable wrench on me so I won't need one in a bag

[@GeordieAnarchy]

Great video. Some PTFE tape and several big nails is always handy. The Knipex pliers are some of the best money can buy imo, check out their wire stripping tool- it’s unreal.

[@edb7487]

Hi great video. I think it would be nice to list your items and maybe the brand names and links to make it easier to find them on-line or in stores. The list of things not mentioned if added you would need a larger bag.

[@sjTHEfirst]

I have quite a few .30 Cal ammo boxes that I use for various items for my PopUp Camper. On several of them, I wrap the handles with paracord. I don’t do this to every box because then they can’t be stacked.

[@chriswilson9230]

Redundancy is great. My Chief taught me…Two is one, one is none. I go with this a lot with my equipment.

[@chuckoaks6756]

Im gonna need a tub dor all my specialty bags and movers blanket.

[@ShellSender]

awesome kit!

[@hdrvman]

You need to add a "HAYWIRE KLAMPER" wire clamping tool !!!! Unbelievable versatility in a small package !!!

[@robertivey3268]

Just for the uninformed, what is a "haywire klamper"??

[@hdrvman]

@@robertivey3268 Google it

[@DeMarcheAdventures]

Don't worry about having extra lights, ALWAYS extra lights!

[@STB-jh7od]

multi-screwdriver with multiple bits in the handle.

[@ShineDredd]

No spare fastex buckle? Also, I'd consider gluestick and more needles.

[@acbigal]

A lighter I would think would be a must.

[@ToddfromCalifornia]

A magnifying glass for my old eyes is indispensable.

[@darlenecarter7859]

Awesome..would Love to have one

[@herbertoakleyjr7176]

Another great idea

[@Natezoinks]

Micro washcloth, one that expands in water. 👍🏻

[@Whitestoneorangeblossom777]

A whistle...bless❤

[@lewis9888]

I would be redundant and put a few bandaids in the kit.

[@ericjudd9603]

Thanks man

[@robertharold2503]

Mini bunji cords are quite handy

[@Nunya9876]

Those stretchy “pony tail” elastic bands make good “rubber bands”.

[@barrykelly2722]

1:26 dude went totally George Dubya.

[@mtnshooter2487]

i think you have everything covered.

[@KirkBaumgardner]

SWEET WE GOT THE OLD HREEN SHED AGAIN LOL

[@elizabeththompson4424]

my repair tools don't live in a single kit they're scattered in several kits my EDC multi-tool is the Victorinox Deluxe Tinker lives in my EDC bag I rolled my own flat duct tape old credit card or whatever I have a separate sewing kit with Super Glue & E6000 Glue Super Glue doesn't last long especially once opened E6000 takes a while to dry but is flexible Exotac Rip Spool - lives in my day-hike kit add another small standard embroidery needle 2 small safety pins and a straw wrapped with standard black thread Thread Straw put a small slice in the ends to retain the thread I also waxed my thread you might have to play with straw sizes... General Tools Awl the tip detaches, reverses & stores in the handle at one time there were a small & large size also Sears Craftsman did one but they're gone now I added one to the Otis/Gerber Soldiers Toolkit

[@friendofcoal]

Now, which one of those bag kits did I put that thing in............?

[@Land_of_ZAZ]

I would add a pencil, a measuring device and a lighter, good kit otherwise. Keep up the good fight

[@the_protector_dad]

Redundancy- 2 is 1 and 1 is none, brother.

[@cobraoutdoor4860]

I would add a lighter

[@jonesey65244]

I dunno. I remember when EDC--Every Day Carry--meant what you carry on your person at all times. I like the idea of this kit. But calling it EDC is just not right.

[@nicholaihel8972]

Who Makes the bag?

[@BobaFettuccine3541]

Roaring Fire

[@nicholaihel8972]

@@BobaFettuccine3541 Thank You !!!!

[@edi9892]

Too much for me. I carried a leatherman and a torch lighter. The blue flame can be very useful both for repairs and making fire in adverse conditions.

[@Hazan1fan]

Nice kit. Too many redundancies

[@BobaFettuccine3541]

😎👍

[@LesleeWooton]

Metal zip ties.

[@3vil3lvis]

So the problem with your kit is that most hand tools are too big for that bag. This excludes many of the essential repair tools and greatly limits its usefulness.

[@beltycat5490]

Why are drones flying all over New Jersey?

Stay on course and on topic. He isn't talking about Drones or whatever they are over any part of the USA in this video. You are very special in the head and lacking intelligence.
