Fieldcraft Survival Pillars of Preparedness: EveryDay Carry (EDC)

The Fieldcraft Survival Pillars of Preparedness are EDC, Mobility, and Homestead (or Safe Home). All of these work together to better prepare each of us for whatever circumstances we find ourselves in. They are tied together by the umbrella of Mindset and sit on a foundation of Community.
In this video, Mike Glover talks about EDC and how what you carry and have access to on your person is integral to the successful planning and execution of any preparedness plan. Through his Special Operations career, he was able to find what worked and what didn't work in terms of kit and tactics.

Everyone rolls their eyes and calls you crazy for being prepared until something bad happens.

[@ShaneChilly]

Couldnt agree more

[@Hopeinthewakefilms]

I get that from some friends and family. They call it being paranoid, until they need tweezers to pull out a splinter while 3 miles in the woods... then I pull out my Swiss army knife, and then an extra pair of gloves. And that's on the easy end of things.

[@tomlewis9783]

I starting following this group after a free class at 5.11 Back in the Before Times, when we gathered everyehere! Every time we have power or weather issues, loss of cell service, I think Mike had the right idea

[@tomlewis9783]

[@GentiluomoStraniero]

Yup...

[@joetexas1546]

The Main principle above all is ‘You’- Take care of yourself before you can take care of others.

[@5.56_Media]

Me and my gf were just talking about last night! Haha I fully agree. If you're inside and see the other person down, clear the house before attempting help. You can't help if you're not situationaly aware and get attacked too.

[@jamuraisack5503]

This translates well to both household finances and national economic policy.

I carry two med kits in my truck. One for me specific but also one for auto wrecks. I have been close to a couple and you need stuff to help others. Have kit for yourself yet be always ready to help others.

[@tomlewis9783]

On the motorcycle I can be first responder. In the USA, if you're not from California, you may not know how well bikes can slip thru stopped traffic I carry a personal kit on leg, TQ guaze scissors etc..and a larger bag on the luggage rack Europeans are used to bikes legally moving thru traffic, Most Americans are not

[@DontTreadOnMyLiberty]

"All I had was a Glock 17 and a machine gun"...LOL, I wish thats all I have on my person!!!

[@manictiger]

Actually kind of an oversight, imo. You'd think they'd give gunners 7.5" carbines in .300blk. Heavier than a pistol, but 400 yds effective range, vs. 100 yds, should the MG have a critical failure.

[@grantjones199]

Great video Mike. Satellite phone is a good idea and HAM radio. Great thought

[@caven930]

Crocs are great cause they have that strap that can go behind your heel so you can run when the shit hits the fan but remain stylish and cool 😎

[@phantomf4g304]

4o'clock for me. Too much "belly button" on me....

[@danielmarshall4587]

..... oh yes I'm in the same boat, belly button wise. As a Brit we're not allowed guns no matter the size of belly button.

[@twobraincells4364]

Those boots are from Buckle...I have the black pair. In comparison to a pair I got from Rocky Boot...I would say that the ones from Buckle are not as comfortable and I wish the soles were thicker. Not enough between the feet and the ground....but they look ok....just won't last long in the elements especially doing any kind of outdoor work. Cheers.

Mike, I have a few video ideas that I wanted to see if you would consider doing. -Emergency Car Kit -Wazoo Cache Belt/Wazoo Cache Hat -EDC pocket dump -Survival Kits -IFAK's you personally carry or like I enjoy the knowledge and videos you have share. Keep up the great work. -Braiytryene Gibbons

[@Accu53Mation]

We'd like to see more citizens in liberal New York state, exercise their right to Open-carry. Crime is getting absurd in small town New York. Law enforcement, does extremely little to stay vigilant, and politicians are apathetic to notice. neighborhoods are being controlled by gangs, thanks to the plethora of state prisons surrounding us. Police, never patrol these dangerous neighborhoods, until long after a shooting occurs. It's time we few Veterans, take back our community.

[@vicranger6876]

well done. When I flew medical helicopter ( medevac ) I was amazed how unprepared the med crew I inherited was. They knew nothing of after crash procedures, prep for emergency landing, prep for survival after a forced landing and procedure for evacuating and extracting survivors of our ship. They thought I was trying to scare them by talking about emergency after landing procedures, expectations , situation awareness and keeping track where populated areas were along the way if they had to pick a direction to hike after a landing.

[@michaelagalasso2389]

Mike, Another informative lesson. Thanks for all you, Kevin and the rest of the company does for us.

Hi Mike, do you carry a pocket knife, or a fixed blade for EDC and if so what do you carry? Thanks 😊

[@user-pi5xu7qs7n]

Great perspective on EDC. My dad who was in Vietnam and in the Army to this day hates flip flops. They are a liability. "You're going to break your ankle" I can hear it now. :-)

[@McFartsnatcher]

Lol. I learned the same thing. I never wear flip flops anymore. I actually only wear either lightweight "combat style" boots or heavier "combat style" boots, depending on weather... It's good to always be ready.

This is perfect, Mike! Short and to the point for busy bodies like myself. We just had a massive reality check in Texas a few weeks ago and all of your info helped tremendously! Thank you for what you and all of your team do.

[@robertgeary2900]

Mike, great info and inspiration as always! Question though. In regards to Ham radio, I may have just missed it but, are we talking RX only or TX/RX? Also, I haven’t come across this anywhere but, when everyone’s using their Baofengs and such, anything with Chinese logic chips could be just shut down (best case) or worst case, weaponized by covert aggressors, to tap comms. Even to track/relay positions to hostile forces. Love to hear a pros thoughts on this. If not, no worries brother, stay safe and keep chugging. Cheers from 30+ year veteran in sunny S.C.

I need to renew my NH non-resident carry licence. Don't get me wrong the gun is important but one of 100 things to consider.

....NH is constitutional carry. You don't need a 2A permission slip there, resident or not. Unless you're using it for reciprocity for a few other states.

[@stephenkylecaballero6941]

Preparedness must be teach in school. as a 21 yrs old Education Student, i usually bring up this kind of topic and discuss it with my classmate. and sadly only few of them are interested with this kinda thing, they might act like they are interested but it extremely obvious that they are not interested.

A simple case in point, I just recently traveled to NH. We drove there with no issue utilizing my Bro-in-laws phone for GPS directions. I drove back having never traveled any of the roads that I took back. I have always made a point to carry my tool bag with me on road trips, just to have some basic tools to maybe be able to remedy an issue. On the way back I found a good spot on the dash to prop my phone to follow the route, I had to push it upright into a tray on the dash. While doing that it somehow must have dislodged my SIM card to where my phone was unable to connect the SIM. In my tool bag I just happened to have a paperclip that I use for my work. I popped out the SIM, repositioned it and I was back in business. If not I would have bought a map somewhere. I was prepared by just thinking of bringing my tool bag with me in the first place to be able to fix my SIM issue easily in less than 2 minutes.

[@mmmmmmb]

Tailoring a kit suitable for my day to day situation, a truck driver in NJ, was difficult. I travel up and down the state, from populous and dangerous Jersey City, to the more rural pine barrens and southern shore coast. Even in your free time in NJ, you can easily go from rural towns to populous cities to dense woods to mountains in a short period of time. Staying prepped in these situations was tough, even more so with a family, but I think I have it figured out.

[@dustinmartindale7482]

Hey, Mike what happened to the S&W 38? Love the H&K p7 but don't have the bankroll for one so not a knock on it replacing the S&W but honestly when you showed the old .38 revolver as your edc in the bag it earned a lot of respect from me. It is a much more sensible choice for the bag than most modern Glock type pistol which you spoke to in this video. Totally jealous about the P7 btw.
