Ladies EDC in the UK: What's in your bag?

[@JenniferA886]

Nicely done… and I like how your EDC carry is “discreet”. Meaning, that if a random person just happens to nosey into it, you can just pass it off as a random collection of everyday items. One thing I’ve always done, is to never disclose the fact that I’m a prepper. Also, if I can suggest something… some folded up duct tape. 👍👍👍

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Thank you 😊 I know people normally wrap it around the lighter. Does it stay sticky after?

[@Katesharpandvoice]

@@AnasFoodLifestyle It does.

[@SurvivingtheDaily]

Great video! Especially the message at the end about carrying what each of us needs to carry.

[@snapdragon2441]

My idea is I have my EDC which stays with me I’m my handbag, then my get home bag stays in my car and is an extension of the EDC

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

It should, that’s the idea generally but I don’t always take my handbag to do my food shop, probably should just incase. Have plenty of kits in cars/vans too

[@BiteSizedEDC]

I forage too and carry dog bags for the same purpose! Where did you get the tiny notepad?

[@josephinetedds418]

Thank you Ana. I could do with a bag like that with pockets inside to separate items for easy access. Mine seems to be a bit disorganised.

[@AntoniaLewis-m7n]

I think that little note book came from a Christmas cracker!🎄 May I suggest you label any medication with the name and use before date?

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

You are correct 👍 it very small and perfect for the purpose! Yes thank you, if I cut a portion of tablets, exactly what I do , very good point though! 👍🥰

[@innocentbystander4650]

To be honest, I had never heard of the term EDC - I obviously have some way to go on my prepper journey! You are obviously very organised and practically minded, I think this sort of thing should be taught in schools.

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

It’s just as simple as anything you may need potentially in a daily type basis. Not everyone wants it but I think it’s a good idea as it is a tiny version of emergency kit, if you wish . And yes they should teach kids things like that rather than 72 genders that don’t exist !

@@AnasFoodLifestyle Did you see the "new" banner from the NHS with a bunch of flags? What a WASTE of money and resources!

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

No I didn’t , must find that they must be following the police foot steps of inclusivity 🤣

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Fck! This is a joke right! I feel offended as they only included 21 genders out of 72!

[@markritacco270]

@@AnasFoodLifestyle But...the police are having such fun dancing around collectively at the local parades when they should be "protecting".

[@catgoeskek]

Thanks for sharing, I love the sturdiness of the zippable case, I was just thinking it would be a good way to reuse an empty glasses case (the kind that snaps shut). Also thanks for keeping it informative and practical, I've seen some edc videos that just fuel consumerism by showing lots of sponsored items or push for a certain "standard" of having overly expensive/branded equipment, which is more impractical than finding what suits you and your situation best.

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Thank you very much😊 I’ve seen those too, that’s why I have said it’s your bag You decide. Glass cases sounds like a brilliant idea🤔 like mini set for the car for my husband , thank you for that !

[@Lee_Proffit]

Well thought out bag. But I would swap out that pen for a small pencil (as I find that pens always stop working at the most important time) and pencils always work 🙂 I would swap out that pepper spray for a self defence spray - it sprays out a bright red liquid that stains whoever it hits and aimed at the eyes will give you a few minutes head start - and it's legal in the UK (SABRE and Farb-Gel seem to be popular ones)

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Thank you 😊I’m changing the spray and good point about pencil !

[@jessicacanfield5058]

Thank you for this good video

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Glad you found it helpful 🥰

[@Katesharpandvoice]

Might I suggest pantiliners and a bit of toilet tissue? I've often been in public toilets without tissue.

[@mojobartle817]

Customize them to ur needs.

[@addictedtotreasuretrash108]

Hej Can you have pepper spray in the UK ?

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Just the legal option

[@Dingleowl1582]

👍

[@Lee_Proffit]

Surprised that women don't carry female hygiene items in their EDC - I guess that some are carried in the handbag and it is not the sort of thing that you can wave around on yt - but I have only every heard one female mention them as an EDC item

[@catgoeskek]

Some people might just prefer not to show it, or keep them seperate, or not need to use them at all, although it can be handy to have if someone you know needs one.

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

🤣you are correct, it is in handbag pockets for ease of access and yes not something I would like to wave around on yt

[@Lee_Proffit]

@@AnasFoodLifestyle And I can understand that, but they could be mentioned without too much embarrassment. A lot of women are new to prepping and may not even think of such things, this is where your channel is so good, it caters for the new prepper who may be put off by the more macho channels, I just wish there were more like you 🙂

[@Lee_Proffit]

@@catgoeskek Agreed, but a mention of them might prompt women to add such things. I have heard only one other channel mention them as an EDC item

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Thank you 😊

[@Bob-67]

Pepper spray is classified as a prohibited weapon in the UK under the Firearms Act 1968. This means it is illegal to possess, buy, or carry pepper spray in public places without a valid reason contrary to Section 5(1)(b) of the Firearms Act 1968. Sorry to be boring!!

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

In UK Many things are illegal seems to be apart from illegal immigrants🤣 they are legal and come with government funding

[@JenniferA886]

@@AnasFoodLifestylewell said 👍👍👍

[@p2snetwork]

Ana another boring bloke here. That pepper spray is classed as a sect 5 firearm. I know it makes no sense, 6 months to 10 years custodial! If you choose to carry it then that's your choice but I wouldn't publicise it on a public forum like YT. Otherwise, good video and great to see the ladies being prepped 👍

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Thank you, I understand, I didn’t really even think about it as had it for a while home. I will take it out and replace with a legal version 😊👍

[@AnasFoodLifestyle]

Thank you, I will replace it with a legal option. Didn’t cross my mind as you could buy them on and in few years back 👍
