Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.

I have to say Jon that your kit videos are by far and away my favourites! I have been known to watch similar videos from others but most commit the cardinal sin of simply putting everything but the kitchen sink into one bag which makes them 1. Heavy 2. Messy and 3. Just downright impractical as I imagine the person searching for their first aid items whilst bleeding all over their 3 knives, emergency blanket, mirror and yards of cordage and the list goes on… and this in the ‘urban kit”. Of course all of these things are useful but you are one of the few who considers the context of where you’re going when you leave the house. Sure it can be more expensive to assemble a lot of kits but one may not need that many depending on their lifestyle. Anyway, all that to say great job and please keep them coming!

[@JonGadget]

Thanks for the kind comment Phil - really appreciated

[@TestSpaceMonkey]

I like to keep my kit utensils wrapped in a napkin or paper towel held with a rubber band. I often either end up needing one when I'm eating or wrapping it around the slightly dirty utensil because I need to get going and don't have a chance to clean it right away.

[@nursestew]

Jon Gadget does it again! I always find your kits to be the most effectively equipped and so well organized. So much so I realized that many of your ideas have made it into my own kit without even realizing the inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@JonGadget]

Thank you - great to know it has inspired your own kit which is what this is all about

[@NikosKatsikanis]

I'm normally critical of EDC kits that aren't used, but this is excellent,

[@reefnotrobbie]

You created The Gadget Shop and you create the gadget content I want to see on KZbin... You're as qualified as anyone in my opinion! I think the format is amazing and you're nailing it. Thank you for giving me a reason to spend my monthly disposable income 😂

[@fredfinger7092]

4th. or 34th. Depends what we're counting. At this point I feel safe clicking the LIKE before I watch the video. Thanks for the consistently great content, Jon! Let's see how many new things I buy once I've watched...

[@fredfinger7092]

I only needed the high-density magnet and the titanium spork! Oops and the Suunto compass.

[@ChristianW1975]

[@papik1965]

Thanks Jon😊. As always great collection of EDC tools.

[@pretentiousname01]

> fire/lighter Have you considered an electric based lighter. Most could be recharged with the battery pack, and avoid liquid issues. > compass A whistle, perhaps as a replacement zipperpull is helpful when you would use the compass. Its easier to blow the whistle, than yell for help

[@fredfinger7092]

Good ideas. Most arc lighters I've seen have been pretty heavy though. The whistle definitely should be added! Weighs nothing, could save you if you are lost outdoors, and barely costs anything.

[@JonGadget]

Thanks for the feedback - whistle could be added easily and is there in my outdoor kit - electric lighter could be a good option for inflight

[@BillDrives]

@@JonGadget When and where have you ever had a use for a lighter inflight? I am sure the passengers will raise eyebrows if they see someone using a lighter on the plane.

[@apprenticegilligan1635]

I have put together emergency kits for my wife and I using items from all your kits put together in maxpedition mini pouches. Love this, thanks

[@JonGadget]

Thanks Eyal

[@nichodula]

What a nice kit. I can't imagin how much fun it is to put it together.

[@BobBesco]

You never fail to introduce me to something new. Again, many thanks.

[@ELaster1]

Thanks for another great upload, sir 👏🏻 Always great to watch your videos to relax for 20 minutes

[@johnfpotega2017]

I’ve always carried a “kit “ much like this, but usually kept it in my car; too large to carry on a plane, but now that I know what “MI6” is issuing to its operatives (lol) I will redesign a kit much like this one for extended travel! Thanks so much 😊!

[@runninblue9415]

With my poor eyesight I find a mini Fresnel lens, credit card sized is invaluable. Doubles up as a fire starter in sunny weather as well.

[@fredfinger7092]

I do think the "thin optics" that Jon carries could perform much the same functions (although more expensive). I often carry a fresnel card but I've never seen one that could focus sufficiently to start a fire. Have you done that successfully? Would love to know what brand you used if so. Thanks!

[@JonGadget]

I think you need super bright full on sun to be in with a chance - thin optics allows me to see much better than fresnel but fresnel better than nothing for close-up stuff

[@colinbrown4008]

Love the fact that youve gone back to a head torch.

[@spr00sem00se]

Some of your videos have proven quite useful when revising my kit that I take with me when I fly. I generally use a leatherman micro and a small spiderco knife in my kit and have only ever had them spotted in Germany, and they were allowed through no problems. Other than that I take a med pack, bigger than this one shown here, and a small molle pouch that contains paracord and a space blanket, aswell as a tabacco tin with tinder and a lighter and tea light in it. When im going further afield I take a US GI canteen (nalgene variant) with the metal cup and stove attachment. These kits have literally allowed me to repair the throttle linkage on a 60's landrover while in the mountains of colombia, sorted out situations that require immodium long enough to get from airport to hotel, and allowed me to use the paracord to improvise a washing line when I missed a flight and had to wash pants in the hotel bath! I just got some braided fishing line to replace the paracord, and im in the process of a serious medikit upgrade for in the car due to having taken up firearms shooting, so i figure I should know how to treat a bullet wound just incase. KZbin videos really do come in very helpful for finding out about gear thats useful and gleaning from other peoples good and bad experiences. Thanks for your content.!

[@spr00sem00se]

I meant to say also that I just had to prepare some tool kits to include with a product sold at work, and found myself getting some helikon tex pouches, and foil backed ziplocks to put all the nuts and bolts needed into.......... It took me a while to remember where I had seen the foil backed ziplock trick! it works great!

[@regwash8620]

Excellent video as always! The high density magnet will be the next purchase.

[@haywoodf]

I store cable ties by threading them into the piping of Maxpedition Micro/Mini/EDC/Fatty pouches. Pro = Effectively no loss of internal space & accommodated long ties • Cons = Takes more time to store, especially first time install.

[@JonGadget]

nice idea - will explore this 👍

[@EDCMECH]

Nice work Jon ! Big fam of Maxpedition as well 🔥

[@matthewhebbert9712]

Brilliant. This is very very similar to the kit I carry every day. The exception is that I can count on one hand the number of times that I've flown in my life, so airline restrictions aren't something I care about, which means my kit includes a mini Bic and some bladed tools. Great video.

[@JonGadget]

Yes, gives lot more choice without the flying! Thanks for feedback 👍

[@MB_EDC]

Great update Jon. Very practical as always without overly expensive gimmicky stuff that you see on many channels. I have my own fixit kit and electronics support kit seperately and not as compact as this. I am packing for a short trip to the US tomorrow - so I'll steal a few ideaas from this video. Thanks!!!

[@doubledecker1094]

Another brilliant kit, love this iteration Jon. Thanks for sharing!

[@JonGadget]

Many thanks!

[@wderoker]

Awesome as usual Jon! So grateful for what you give us. Love your thoughtful, interesting videos. Thank you.

[@JonGadget]

I appreciate that!

[@batman850800]

Great video! I really appreciate your links for items is listed in the same order you cover them. Thank you!

[@dougbotimer8005]

Excellent kit, and nice job of consolidating things I have dispersed over multiple pouches. I have much the same gear, largely due to following you for a while now. I do keep a needle and thread in my kit to replace a button, or mend a small tear. I also have replaced zip ties, handy as they are, with brass wire. I can use wire to do prettier much anything I can do with zip ties, as I did before zip ties became ubiquitous. And wire has many more uses, from sewing heavy fabric to hanging a can of water over a fire.

[@genjitsu7448]

ok - you got me! I am going to add a few items to my bag from your video. I like the idea of the compass. I have one or 2 really good ones right now but they are about the size of a A Zippo lighter so perhaps a little bigger than one. Also I really like the "Altoids" kits that people make. I have many tins including some awesome ones from "Chimes" they make really cool ginger candies and the tin is great. I have collected many small containers over the years - probably because I am never satisfied with what I have come up with - I always think i could do better... So i do appreciate when someone has a great container, bag, tool, etc... so this was a great video! I do also have a huge interest in these "Packout" toolboxes that everyone is coming out with - Milwaukee, Festool, Craftsnan, Dewalt, Ryobi, Rigid, and I am sure a dozen more - The Milwaukee set is super tough, that I can attest to as many people at work have had them for a few years now. and they have been dropped, knocked around, stepped on, etc... and they still look fine. The Rigid toolbox is great, I have one, perhaps a touch less durable than the Milwaukee. And if you are in Europe then the Festool set would be a great choice, they have a TON of options, look rugged, great colors, and the quality looks top notch - if you don't have any of these yet, well you are in for some fun because you are likely going to want a set for your shop. Cheers!

[@Daninater]

Newer generation industrial velcro or some similar products like dual lock could really hold their own in a lot of these kits while traveling. It's totally benign crossing into an airport and very useful for mending anything from luggage to clothes, fastening or improvising spaces. The adhesion would be better than super glue or tape on objects that are are subject to a lot of movement or vibration, bending folding. It also doesn't require any real tooling to apply it.

[@franksterkb891]

I really enjoy your every content! Hope to see your content soon, Jon.

[@robertalonzo5725]

Built this and already used it. Kept the rovy von light. It made an excellent night light last weekend

[@Bervilat]

You can substitute the cord for dental floss. Lighter, less bulk and deceptively strong. Another suggestion, put a pair of simple non sterile medical gloves. Can be used for any nasty stuff or to eat some roasted chicken ! And after that you can use the floss!

[@JonGadget]

great feedback 👍

[@stephanem5125]

Great update as expected from you. I will still add elastic bands and magnifying glass card

[@JonGadget]

yep good finishing options

[@lindastempt2712]

Wait - you owned the Gadgetshop, Jon? One of my favourite places back in the day…. Now, I’m probably not your ideal demographic, being a 73 year old woman, long widowed, bit weak and feeble these days and really not into chopping down trees or any survivalist stuff (after all, I live in Shropshire) - and I like staying in hotels. I do, however, love gadgets. Also city breaks, where I travel (by train) with a very light backpack, abandoning it at my hotel (I told you!), and using a Bellroy sling and Maxpedition pouch, packed with a Swisscard, first aid stuff, Gerber Shard, tiny Nitecore GITD torch, a Rolling Square inCharge cable and Tau power pack (the bigger Anker one stays at home), and the smallest Spyderco knife that they make. Imagine my joy to find your channel and feel vindicated in (some of) my choices. Pity the ole pension only goes so far…Sorry for the long post - my friends think I’m mad but I hoped you (and others on here) would appreciate my appreciation. Thank you!

[@Emppu_T.]

Very nice stuff thanks for sharing

[@RyanCrossOfficial]

I like the fact that this kit is focused on solving common problems without being an "emergency" kit. Personally, I don't think this is quite "EDC" since it doesn't bother with what i use on a daily basis, but I'd consider putting it in my bag or easily reachable place for "common problem solutions". Nice kit

[@ElkwoodLeather]

That Ti Spanner looks very nice 👏🏻 just need it all in a leather case now 😉

[@cheeto.1]

I love your videos Mr.Gadget always excited to see a new one

[@JonGadget]

Thank you 😊

[@stevesinclair4159]

Happy Saturday Jon. I have for air travel upgraded my Victorinox Jetsetter by swapping the boring red scales for translucent rubi red signature lite scales so I now have a Jetsetter sans toothpick and tweezer and instead a pressurized pen & white LED light.

[@JonGadget]

Nice idea Steve 👍

[@SayMcGillicuddy]

Very good - I quite like to throw in a couple of reusable velcro straps alongside my cable ties. Not everything needs fastened permanently!

[@CompassCustomCreations]

Excellent update!

[@JonGadget]

Thanks!

[@TehHarrison]

After watching the micro kit I’m in love with the leatherman micra and now need one 🤣😅

[@MarkLomas1]

I've taken my Victorinox mini SD on my key ring through many airports through Europe without any issues. They even sell them airside at some airports I've been through. I agree though, it would be great if you could buy something like a climber or super tinker minus the knife blades, they could call it the Air Traveller.

[@JonGadget]

yes 👍

[@BillDrives]

I agree that everyone's kit is going to be tailored to their requirement or their perception of what they may need when travelling. But I have found out of the items you listed, the only useful flight freiedly items I found in my 100's of travels around the world are pen, note book, medication, comb, nail clippers, cotton ear buds, tooth floss, string, and powerbank. The rest of the items in your kit I would not find a use for. As for many you will need at least 100 pounds of cash for an emergency, or at least for security a pre-paid debit car that can be used to swipe for food and other emergency supplies etc. I understand that everyone's mileage will vary based on what you intend to do at your destination. But in those cases, you can always have a more substantial kit in your checked in luggage.

[@cynthiabreault6891]

I like your kit. In fact, I carry one similar to it and will likely “steal” your shrink wrap tubing idea. I prefer the Victoronix Nail Care card over the jet setter SAK. It has larger scissors, a nail file, a pen and a couple additional tools that are allowed by TSA.

[@danielnastase5302]

I agree, the Victorinox Cards are better, you can leave the blade out.

[@JonGadget]

Yes - I have used this before and glass file is a useful substitute for the knife

[@kevola5739]

If you cut the lock off one zip tie you can slide the remaining zip ties on and off for secure storage even if several are used. Multiple colour zip ties can be useful as well.

[@SeanHendy]

First aid, highly recommend compeed for the treatment of blisters. Very small and compact and work for several days at a time. Have saved my ars3 quite a few times, providing complete protection over a blister or raw skin.

To use that glas breaker is easy. You make a x on the window with it. Than smash it.

[@soupappreciator8977]

Nice Kit as usual Jon. After years of flying to every corner my carry-on SA"K" of "choice" ended being the nail clip 582. Outside the first world, airport security often have inconsistent enforcement and some won't like any scissors (if they see them haha). I rather have the tweezers and the nail clip is often used as makeshift scissors because is pretty sharp. PS: Vic also makes some luggage called "global carry" which also serves well if you travel to a wide range of countries. PS2: If your destinations allow for the vic 91mm type of scissors consider ordering a custom one. I have a blade-less yeoman mechanic from @brunnercustoms and it's really nice. His friend Florian made us some nice custom scales w/o the corkscrew cutout for it. PS3: Cable ties don't work a seal on the type of luggage you show, you can open the zipper with a pen, take what you want then close it back by moving the two ends together around, you gotta tie to a handle to partially mitigate this. Typing this from an airport. Cheers.

[@914Rocky]

I’d ditch the pry bar for a whistle. You can use items on your Swiss army to pry but a whistle is critical if you are going outdoors. I also recommend the Olight oclip if you want to lose a bunch of weight. I’ve got one on all my backpacks and it’s come in handy. I’m a bit surprised by your flashlight choice. I expected to see the RovyVon A8. It’s got that double direction clip so it pops on to hats.

[@JonGadget]

I always carry a small Rovyvon in my pocket - Nitecore for size and weight is super capable and I feel flashlight is a key element in the kit

[@dsmw7483]

Nice kit. I have similar but note: Travelsafe victorinox jetsetter was confiscated from me (along with a tiny tic remover!) whilst returning from work in Trinidad. I removed the tweezers and firerod toothpick though, so saved them at least. Very much down to the arbitrary mood of security. I wouldn't risk thon micro spanner or prybar or anything that can catch the eye of a bored and vindictive guard anymore. Good luck!

[@alanc4264]

Hi great video Jon thanks. I never carry a magnet because I carry a compass. I believe the strong magnet can mess the compass up permanently. Instead I keep the compass on my watch strap.

[@Sergio-ReRe]

Even the Philips of jetsetter, has a magnet too

[@FATxAZZxGONExCRAZZZY]

I believe that the glass breaker key FOB is meant to be placed on the glass tip side first, to be followed up with a hearty smack and on the back end.

[@adrianhillary7300]

Hi Jon, thanks again for an excellent video, I have been slowly building up kits from your recommendations, one even accompanied my sister on a trip to Nepal. Just and FYI to all. I went through Singapore last year and they do not allow any blades of any kind as carry on, not even scissors, lost my victorinox swisscard set.

[@ChadSolberg]

So impressive

[@sungjungro5444]

I made my EDC based on yours thank you❤

[@SeanHendy]

JOn, travel cutlery, you might want to check out a set sold by Jetboil, which is a collapsible fork, spoon, and spatula. I have also found them sold by other brands, looking very similar at lower prices. Very handy fork and spoon and accompanies me on many travels.

[@ek-nz]

I have a smaller kit for flying with hand wipe, SAK classic SD, Space Pen, small torch (Rovyvon clone cos you can’t get them here), panadol, money, note paper etc. Fits in pants pocket. I think I would be stopped every single time if I had cable ties and duct tape. I always remove the Classic SD from the pouch and put in the tray so it’s visible. I sewed the pouch myself. Three flights so far and total success.

[@JonGadget]

great to hear

[@thejames666]

Love your kit vids. Thoughts: Pin/safety pin or paper clip, small bulldog clip.

[@benmarchal]

Great kit. I'm impressed by what you can fit into this pouch. Love the glasses. I wonder however about the fire starter, have you considered matches as an, in my mind more practical, alternative?

[@DenisKorobyak]

Hi John! What backpack were you wearing in this video?

[@iamarawn]

I've flown about 20 times for work, with a cheap SAK in my backpack. All flights within the EU. I don't hide it. Never had any issues. Your mileage might vary

Which one? Is it just loose in the bag?

[@iamarawn]

@@shedlife1783 i think it's the recruit. I got a keysmart on the ring that's on it and hang in on the inside so they see it when they open it. I put it in plain view so it doesn't look like i'm hiding it.

[@shedlife1783]

Love this version of the kit! What do you think about making a kit for a spouse or housemate who isn’t as enthusiastic as this community at preparedness? I’d love to see ideas on a car or handbag kit for my spouse that they can forget about but is easy to use when the time comes.

[@U1TR4F0RCE]

Reminded me to think about returning the maxpedition mini I got, the charging solution I wanted to use is too thick for the mini so might look for other pouches at least for a charging pouch

[@pedropabloj]

Hey Jon! Great video as always! Excellent editing, audio and explanations! And as always, a really cool/great update to this kit, which by the way i have almost perfectly replicated. Have you heard/read about the new nitecore carbon 6K battery?? I think it will come pretty handy for one of these travel-ready kits. Supposed to have 6000mAh on an 88gram casing, giving it an interesting 245.5Wh/kg energy density. It was just recently launched, 8th april. Thinking of getting one for myself. Greetings! And keep up your great work!!

[@sloanNYC]

I wish the Jetsetter added a file to the side of the multi tool. It feels missing for sure.

[@squatch2461]

Another great video, Thanks. I do think the Victorinox SwissCard Nailcare 13 Function Multitool is the way to go for flying. imho, ymmv 🍻

[@doubledecker1094]

I think Jon has used this in a previous version. I too thought it would be better than this red tool.

[@JonGadget]

yes, good option but does take up quite a bit of space I find as is quite thick - depends how the kit is packed though

[@SeanHendy]

The SOG powerpint looks like an awesome piece of kit, however, due to the locking blade and locking serrated blade, it would be illegal to carry in the UK. There is however a simple but fiddly mod that can be done, which is to file the notch at the base of each of the blades, rounding it off, rendering them non locking. There are a few videos on YT that show how to do this.

[@brittonnevans2208]

I would love their 580 nail clippers without the knife, but keep the scissors and file.

[@caffiend.]

Many including myself have experienced the Suunto Clipper compass falling apart in non-hard use situations. Mine came apart in three pieces the capsule, the bezel and the base. Suunto is a great company just be aware the Clipper compass is likely to fall apart. Check the reviews.

Hi John. Nice video. However, there are quite a few tools for bondage (tie wraps, duct tape, micro cord). That all is prohibited in Europe as well as in the US in carry-on luggage.

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

I use heat resealable small Mylar bags for meds. Works great. Keeps them fresher with heat seal. Can put cordage too and keep it flat and lots others. Haven’t seen here but I use it for work and ended u0 finding a million uses for the smaller mylar baggies. Just use hair straightener to heat seal or other.

[@JonGadget]

Great tip!

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

I have and recommend everyone else to have a sim tray opening tool, they weigh nothing and takes up no space and are useful if you travel abroad to a place where the data plans might be crap.

[@rogerp.2442]

You should replace the foil ziplock with the water purification tabs in it with a 1L Whirl-Pak gusseted water bag. Most tabs purify 1L and it’s a nearly weightless alternative to a water bottle in case you’re without.

Hey Jon, are you worried that the magnet from the Incharge will compromise the reliability of the Suuntoo compass over time? I carry the same in my Bag of Infinite Holding and I always feel like they shouldn't be stored so close together...

[@russellhogg]

I love that InChargeX as much as you do Jon. Wish they would upgrade it such that it can do higher rates of data in addition to charging.

[@JonGadget]

I’ll need to check but I thought data rates were pretty good!

What brand are those shoes you’re wearing at the beginning of the video? Walking towards the plane

[@M-D-K]

Does a pry that small even function? You need leverage or something weighty to hit it with.

I’ve had bother with customs when it comes to the Jetsetter and the VNOX nail care card. It’s always the scissors! Any advice so I can argue back with them?

[@Rick-fz7tt]

Great content. I’ll be putting something similar togeither. Including a nail clipper with file. Any recommendations? Maybe Mr. green.🤔

[@JonGadget]

Nothing off the top of my head - something to research!

[@jhydhan5036]

did you ever made a small Altoid kit ? love this new kit

[@MrRwccwr]

Nice!

[@WaterfallWhispering]

You got a lot of kits man haha

[@verykeen2please]

Good luck with getting that through customs, as on my last flight a very elderly couple had their M&S pineapple chunks confiscated as a major flight hazard

[@jnak1729]

Jon, you might want to consider throwing in a small eye glass repair kit.

[@Ekseth]

6:47 I think it is a Victorinox Climber right ? It's actually one of my favorite with the heavier explorer and the tiny rambler/manager.

[@JonGadget]

sorry yes it was a Climber

[@RockMonsterDad]

Here in the US Jetsetters get confiscated readily in my experience. I have removed it from my carry on kit due to this. Great video though I have some updates to make now!

[@TDevolder]

+1 for a Victorinox multitool that is FAA compliant, with 3 to 4 layers of tools but without any knife blade, saw or non-compliant scissors

Jon, have you considered the Nitecore HA11? I went with that as it takes AA batteries. It’s slightly less powerful at 250 lumens but it’s still bright enough I feel. AA batteries are literally available everywhere
