I carry a flip top phone ($39.95) too. I've got a desktop & a laptop to access the internet & don't need to access the internet from my phone. Plus, all the money I save by NOT buying a $1,000+ phone lets me buy cool stuff like guns, ammo, armor & optics.

Changed my George Costanza wallet to the kind you have. Took a little getting use to but really like it now. Started training with the handgun and getting comfortable with it. Thanks for the good sensible advice you give.

[@jjacob25101]

It might be a good idea to keep a new dummy wallet with a couple of bills but no identification in it, like credit, debit cards to hand over, or a diversion and drop it while handing it over to get a jump on the perp.

[@charbaran-ej4wk]

Great common sense advice Jason. I`ve been on a burner for over 30 years and never text as well. Thank you and God bless you.

I was on 3 or 4 dozen overseas TDYs and a couple PCS. I only carried in denied access areas, which was maybe 2-5% of my trips. Never carried the majority of the time. In the jungles I visited, I carried a Sig P226.

[@locophoto6881]

[@steveh4962]

Jason, I love your content! Gotta say that as a retired cop from Miami, I wished you had been offering your classes back in the day. The irony is that most everything you say is pure common sense. And so often it causes me to pause, reflect and then ask myself "now why didn't I think of this or that back then?".

[@JasonHansonSpyBriefing]

Thank you, Steven! God bless!

[@Terminal-Vet]

Nice choices. I'm a former infantry Marine and a former law enforcement officer with a couple of few years in special operations units, and my EDC kit is very similar. I almost always carry at least one concealed handgun except, as you say, when I simply can not (normally my Wilson Combat EDCX9 because I absolutely love it) equipped with an 18 round magazine in a kydex belt holster, a decent tactical knife, a flashlight, an extra source of ammunition (another 18 round magazine), and a handkerchief/bandana in my back pocket because it has many potential uses. I also carry in my laptop case to the office an emergency emt Gerber for cutting seatbelts and breaking windows, a tourniquet, and I keep a small handcuff key secured to the inside of my belt where I can get to it if my hands are secured behind my back. I usually keep various extra mags in my vehicle for any number of firearms I may be carrying that particular day, a raid vest with "official" markings on it in the event I may have to respond to an active shooter situation, so I don't get shot by responding officers (as easily, at least), a first aid/trauma kit, and usually a long gun of some kind because I'd prefer not going into a long gun fight with just my handgun. Yes, I realize the chances are almost nil that I'll probably have to use any of them, but I'm sure many others thought that too when the fit hit the shan and wished they'd had been more prepared. The worst feeling in the world is going into any life threatening situation unprepared and ill-equipped. I know that from experience. Great videos, and thanks for your service to our country.

[@jacksnyder7318]

Cool channel Jason, thank you for hosting this. I've been carrying since i was 15 yrs old in 1971. It's all in being inconspicuous and looking like nobody, lots of practice growing up in a city full of trouble and avoiding it like the plaque, because bringing it home was not an option, if you wanted a home to go back to. I've learned to spot trouble before they spot me and to recognize a set up before walking into one, but,,, always prepared to go savage if necessary. I wonder if you can really teach survival, I'm starting to believe No, you can't, a person either has it or they don't. I've learned some nifty stuff from you, I've already put into practice, thank you.

Living outside of the USA, carrying a gun is pretty much unnecessary, and mostly illegal, and it's damned nice to not live in a fear level where carrying 2 guns as EDC seems necessary. Other than guns, pretty nice overview, and some nice specific items It's amazing how quickly one sees "civilization" fade away when going south or east from, let's say, the EU, and cash is a pretty important tool, as you point out, everywhere.

[@Magicdice1]

Im the guy that would save the day. Jason i like your videos. your a real talk dude . take care man

[@noonehere1793]

“Pocket litter” … i haven’t herd that phrase in a while 🙂 money clips are good for muggers, when you pull it out, make sure they see the cash then toss it a little ways away, they will follow the money which gives you a chance to clear space between you and then you have more options, run, fight or shoot your way out of harm.

Hmmm Sounds like my normal carry stuff, aside from my beloved S&W 36 in 38 SPL AND a means to make fire. In my case, a Bic and my trusty Zippo. When I was trained, it was beaten into my head that a Mk 1 Human should be able to survive on dry land so long as he has a cutting tool and the means to make a fire. God bless you and yours, Sir!

Hi Jason. Yeah, most people has a miss perseption about the world of spy's. Most of the time first thing came to mind, oh James Bond... James Bond is Hollywood you people. Out there in the field is so NOT James Bond world. I've been working fourteen years under cover and it wasn't James Bond's world with flashy cars and dropped dead gorgeous girls. No ways. That was hard core reality.. Nice video Jason. Be safe and God bless.. Greatings from Capetown down in South Africa....😊

[@rbm6184]

As I get older I find that I don't want the hassles of an autoloader so if I can get away with concealing it I am going back to a simple small J frame size revolver. Yes like you I currently carry the micro compact SIG P365 and my sub compacts to a lesser degree because of concealment size and capacity. All the capacity in the world will do no one any good if they are not competent in accuracy whether autoloader or revolver and we are responsible for every round that leaves our gun with a lawyer attached to every bullet. By Ellifritz real world shooting cases only two to three rounds are fired for most shooting events or gunfights to stop a threat.

That tactical pen is not getting through a TSA checkpoint at airports-it looks too tactical plus it has a glass breaker on the end. I have purchased three of your tactical pens.

Fanny pack or a belly band with a compact handgun is best in the gym. You can always take the fanny pack off and wrap it around your water bottle when you're doing more physical activities that require lots of bending and flexibility. Just keep it close. If you don't get really sweaty and uncomfortable when wearing a belly band while exercising then that's an even better option.
