Everyday Carry (EDC) Bag with Tips

[@sam-ye4oq]

Well it's been 2 years, has the bag been updated?

Yup! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmjIiXWmaptnfpY

Dude. You're literally the most likable person on KZbin. Haha. Thanks for your vids man.

[@richiebeard994]

Mr. John, I want to compliment you on your humble approach to sharing your experience based tactical opinions. It is very interesting to me that you young cats make sure that you have your electronics (a humorous observation by a guy who learned land nav with a compass or not, and a topo or not). Obviously, I need to update my "EDC" bag. Move over snickers bars and make room for my new tablet. Not only did I come away from your video more tactically proficient but, my old "briefcase" now has a much cooler name (EDC bag)! "ODLNT" (old dog learning new tricks). Peace Out!

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+Richie Beard - One Man Acoustic Band haha - awesome comment. Thx sir

[@mr.vargas727]

John I have just recently discovered your KZbin pages. Your sense of humor is awesome. Your debt to this country is amazing. And your practical view on all the subjects you discuss are on point.

[@The-Warrior-Optimist]

That awkward moment when John Lovell's EDC bag is almost better than your bug out bag...

[@Grevlain]

Cosmo...95% of the population has no idea what the hell is taking place around them. They have zero situational awareness. You know how I know this? I watch them carefully.

[@ab5olut3zero95]

I hate to agree with a jerk like this ComocosonoEWL, but it's not very well camouflaged. That said, I don't think that was the point. It's clearly a well-made pack, but not an obviously super-tactical pack with MOLLE all over it- a single spot on the back with a Velcro spot is not super-tac. Best camouflage I've ever seen for an EDC/Bugout bag is a blank black pack with Anarchy and hippie patches/buttons sewn on. It's stupid but it works.

[@tobingrauel8857]

[@dammain1068]

Floss and mre heater. Great ideas. A small garbage bag can be useful, too and won't take much room.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+Dam Main good call!

[@drzmanproject]

I like the low-key bag. My son, a college student at Liberty, and I recently got clipboard-sized ballistic panels from Hardwire. Fits easily in our pack/bag, can also be used as a clipboard or whiteboard, and does not scream tacticool.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

[@garydell9004]

your best comment of the video was Marry well. It gives me a warm feeling when couples are playful with each other, it shows the friendship that comes with a good marriage...Im glad my wife picked me

[@bearbpm]

[@jeremystebbins8480]

A video on your backup suppressed .22 would be awesome. The philosophy behind that tool would be very interesting. :)

+John Lovell omissions: handkerchief, analgesic, antibiotic ointment, adhesive bandages( spongebob or ninja turtles), hand sanitizer, packet of goldfish or fruit snacks... maybe even some plastic utensils & paper napkins, ie. a Dad edc kit. Kudos for your content, especially your theological & philosophical perspective in addition to your tactical & technical advice. Also, your commitment to your content was evident from 6:00 to 6:20 during your wife's striptease. Most guys would've stopped filming, but you soldiered on towards your mission. Congratulations?

[@WildMaverick]

The Jason Bourne bit was hilarious but the vid was to the point and quite good

[@scottdunnington-smith9692]

FINALLY !!! I feel validated as you are the ONLY other person than myself who understands the value of carrying black electrical tape. Much more useful than duct tape, much more forgiving, much easier to pack. How in the world have makers of duct tape not come out with a 1 inch roll is beyond me. Oh, and with that I always have a small supply of zip ties.

[@treygraphy8050]

Mrs Warrior poet must be off camera getting naughty... Because what else could distract John. Hahaha.

[@shawn5141]

Love your videos. Start watching one and then realize that I just didn't get anything done for 2 hours. Appreciate your service and the videos.

[@TheMixmastamike1000]

I would enjoy seeing what's in your bug out bag and your mind set behind it

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

I'll get to it soon enough I hope! Thanks for tuning in brother

[@chrismorton3618]

[@murrrrr16]

As a brother in Christ it is nice to be able to watch these videos and not worry about hearing cuss words. I also appreciate the free info in these videos!

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+Cameron Meier glad to help 👊

[@dustyball3885]

You definitely should have that drive encrypted. Short story: I had my bag taken from my car. Bag had hard drive in it. My dad wrote a GPS notification program that ran as soon as power was provided to drive. We found bad guy and some of my stuff. (with police help) However, my Information was kept safe.

[@gregwright392]

No need to apologize, things happen. Keep up the good work!

[@gunube]

Signal mirrors are awesome. Because when I'm in a pinch, I can always signal with my mirror an SOS and air support will be there...awesome.

[@604cpr]

Love those 10 speed pistol pouches, so low profile and hides close to the body

[@michaelfranciotti3900]

Hey John! Something that pairs very well with fire steel: braided jute twine soaked in wax. It'll take a spark and give you fire, it's waterproof, small, light weight and is so easy and cheap to make it's stupid. You can thread it through a small metal tube (I use pieces from old pens) so you don't burn your fingers, and it makes it easy and convenient to extinguish. This KZbinr named wintertrekker has a video on it. I never have a fire steel without it now.

[@RhosefRho]

I definitely need to put a bag together for everyday. or at least have some more random supplies on hand. that being said I am surprised at how much you actually carry with you. that is a lot of stuff. but when I think about it, it makes sense. and I really need a suppressed .22 now as well

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+TheCornBreadMan yes you do!! 👊

[@_jinlee]

Don’t forget to backup your hard drive. Just thought you should know! Love your videos! Real inspiration sir.

[@WallStreetRedneck]

Enjoyed this. Gave me some practical ideas I haven't thought of including the daisy chain paracord and carrying a .22 backup. Thanks John. - Orlando, Jake G.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+Final Flash my pleasure broseph

[@justwayne4785]

Just a suggestion, it's probably a good idea to put your Kindle and hard drives in a faraday bag, that way it's protected from water and any electrical damage.

[@billpearce5358]

I really appreciate your vids. short, no BS. Keep up the good work.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

ha! someone JUST criticized me for talking too much. Glad you disagreed with him, but I'll make effort to keep the BS fluff out.

[@nickbologna7121]

I could watch John do absolutely anything and I would be interested. Another great vid bud.

[@Project_Tribe]

I do the same thing with MRE heaters. Keep on in each breast pocket on the ACUs. They come in real handy as you know!

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

+superbowl5212 you salty dog!! Yep!

[@5av4ge_st0rmreviews4]

Great load out; I think I need to put a few extra essentials in my EDC bag... Very informative, Mr. Lovell!!

[@colewest6636]

I love ready all these comments. only a few can focus on the objective of this video. the only thing i would recommend is more nutrients. in my eyes the point of an EDC is to be able to make it to your primary bug out bag if SHTF. if you work 15 miles from home and you have to navigate home without a vehicle, you may wants more than 1 cliff bar. oh and don't forget the wobble, i don't go anywhere without my woobie. other than that this is the best and most practical EDC bag i've seen.

[@exsanguinenation]

I like the idea of staying close to a suppressed .22. Very handy for a variety of things.

[@drondronov13]

I just realized, I shall be an EMT when I "grow up". Thanks John, God bless.

John, one item I edc are at least 2 or 3 pairs of exam gloves. As an emt, I have stopped on several occasions for traffic accidents as the first person on the scene. I keep each pair in individual small plastic bags as well as a full box in my car/truck. I heard you say that you are an emt also.

[@bobjackson7516]

I have zero doubt what she was doing would have caused KZbin to ban/remove the video. haha That's awesome. Good for her! Also teaches John about focusing on the task at hand, and not be distracted ..... which he failed miserably at. ;)

[@SavageD1984]

I knew what she was doing lol thats a great wife right there and very beautiful as well 👍😊👍

[@ZeroTactics]

Good thing the backpack was there!

[@jimsragetogm-uspsa4151]

Just one other comment- the MRE heater- I remember when they first stared putting them in the MRE's They were awesome!!! We did the same thing. It kept a us warm on a lot of cold days and nights in a lot of craphole places. There were a few knuckelheads that ended up stripping (when too much water was added) and it got WAY hot. Most of those times we ended up having to eat cold MRE's. Such fond memories. ......

[@pebblesmcfadden5946]

Hello John. May I recommend you store your phone and power cables using the "roadie wrap" method? You can secure the ends to the cable by tying them with a twist tie (commonly found on the packaging of store-bought bread). I work in technology and we find that a lot of people store cables that don't work because the wires inside have been bent out of shape. Just a friendly heads-up so that you can charge your phone in case of emergency.

[@karlagrisham9116]

That’s a tactical skittle. Throw it or use it as bait for small animals if you need a snack before wrapping up in that thermal blanket. Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@KimTownsel]

Quest protein bars are great for EDC/purse, car, and backpack. They are good warm or cold, don't "smush", and last a long time. I just posted a video review of four flavors and will get one up of other flavors later this year. :)

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

I'll check it out

[@chancecarlton8403]

First thing in any bag of mine is TP in a gallon freezer bag. Most borrowed and used item as well. There is no substitute.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

good word! I've got it in the trunk of my car and in bug out bags.

[@PinchTheBarb]

Green leaves the size of your hand or larger, from known safe plants and trees work well as a substitute.

I respectfully disagree- baby wipes are better and more versatile.

I like that your bag doesn't scream tactical or gun guy , more of a grey man feel . I am of the same mindset as you , real world along with possible situations in mind . Great looking and capable EDC Bag , my tape is 1" gorrilla tape , my cordage roll of 36 bank line , and a handful of zip ties . I am more tool related as I am a mechanic , so no laptop .

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

thanks Bryan. I like your style too ;)

[@DGHubbard1990]

When you unzipped the bag all the way down. I was floored! I've never seen a bag do that.

[@YourFavoriteLibertarian]

Not sure if there would be room with the laptop but, have you thought about a soft armor pannel? They are relatively light and in the event of an active shooter situation, you could put the pack on backwards and use it as a plate carrier. If it's a car jacking, put it in front of your body like a shield and drive off, return fire, water tickles your fancy.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

I will add one when I'm able, yeslove it

I know this is an older video so you may not see this, but I'd be really interested to see an edc recommendations video for high school/college students. Obviously weapons are a no go, but I think some form of improvised defense items are important, as well as some first aid and practical bits. I usually carry a tourniquet, quik-clot sponge, airway tube, two chest seals, something to munch on, a small folder knife, and my 2L-X.
