Glowsticks in case you stop by a rave on the way home.

This isn't an EDC kit... more like a 72 hour -omfg-what-happened-kit.

[@billsouders3587]

That is not a EDC Bag. That is a Bug Out Bag.

[@purebredcheesehead7898]

I always carry a fingernail clipper with me in case of emergency hangnail.

[@jeremyhall7951]

Two things in my kit. Liquor and a bag of fresh socks.

[@jeffeastep9794]

The one item I notice so many people leave out is work gloves! Granted they can add bulk, but think about it...what are you likely to encounter in a natural disaster or SHTF situation?...Broken glass and debris! If you need to clear it to get somewhere, you are going to need those gloves!

[@johncox2912]

I like the use of zip lock bags. I did the same while in the Army. It's a great way to keep things organized and it offers some water proofing.

[@derekddurbin]

you need an extra pair of socks in case your feet get wet

[@BassSniperTV]

I bet more people will be asking the tactical looking person for help rather than attacking them. Bottom line if they are scavengers they won't care if your bag is tactical or not, because if you have a bag then that means something is in it.

[@no4seriously]

Add a local map, in case you lose reception.

Just a tip-any bleeding that requires a tourniquet will be profuse so your tourniquet should be within easy reach. the last thing you'll want is having to open a bunch of stuff to get to it while you or someone else is bleeding out.

I find this EDC bag to be interestingly geared towards worst-case scenarios (i.e. zombie apocalypse) and not for a more likely scenario like flood, massive road closures, weather issues, etc. My EDC has a battery pack for my phone as well as multiple cords for various phone types just in case. Communication is key in an emergency and those quarters will serve less purpose than a battery charging pack. I also keep both cash and a prepaid VISA in my EDC. Best to be prepared for any type of money need.

Great video! I use the smaller 511 Tactical Moab 6. I use mine for more urban EDC. My EDC is very similar to yours. I carry extra contacts, my iPad mini, extra cables, a power bank, and my planner. I carried it fully loaded fir a long walk and it can become uncomfortable. Overall I'm very impressed with the Moab 6, as it holds everything I need daily and attaches perfect to my bug out bag. Hope to see more of your videos soon.

You need a watch cap! Even in warmer climates it can get pretty cool at night. I carry two. A neutral color one in case of a situation where I might need to blend in or not be noticed. And then a blaze orange (high visibility) one in case of a situation where I needed to be rescued. both are lite weight and flatten TO take up very little space. Both are wool.....

[@IanDocherty335]

The stuff you need just in case the bus is late. 🤔 😂

[@katodonnell3989]

the direct action dust bags are great for edc. I've had mine over a year and I take it everywhere. just yesterday my friend needed a torch to sort out a blown light bulb, I use my Swiss army everyday. people underestimate these simple edc items.

[@LotsOfLancelot]

This is HIS (E.D.C.) Bag, relax with your gripes. Go make your own! damn.

[@Tanalark99]

Just for reference, I own the Rush 24 and the Rush 72, both from 5.11 Tactical, and I would recommend them very highly. They're amazing bags, and you can't go wrong with them.

[@melaniexoxo]

I like your water filter. When I had to go into the office sometimes they would run out of bottled water... the tap water in a high rise tastes HORRIBLE for some reason. There were times when I wish I had a Lifestraw with me!
