My Top 6 Favorite EDC/Survival Items Tag Video

[@TuffPossumGear]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad the Shackleton EDC Satchel is serving you well!

[@NJRey]

I got a one hand trekker back in 2004 and is been in many adventures... Nice video

[@NJRey]

@1-tj9nw OMG YOU CANNOT IMAIGNE HOW HAPPY I AM!!! BEST DAY OF LY LIFE EVER!!!!!

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Nice video, thanks for sharing it. I carry the Victorinox Huntsman in my right pocket and have it attached to a Victorinox knife chain secured to my belt. And I carry a Victorinox Swiss Tool X Plus Ratchet on my belt on my left side , and my sidearm on my belt on my right side.

[@va6gkthaskey311]

Im glad you included your hat, i am the same way. A hat is very important. My hats range from cowboy hat, Australian outback, Tilley, fedoras and flat cap. Just depends on weather and what im planning on doing that day. The other thing i count as edc is footwear. In my case its always boots of some kind. Either "traditional" cowboy boots, combat boots, or my latest that im trying is roper Horse Shoe kilie boots. Poor foot wear can and will wreck your day and possibly cause you long term problems.

"Bobba Fett school of fashion" 🤔 😏 👍

[@ReaperSoulShield]

Good video. For the items that aren't available anymore, you should include something that you'd recommend in its stead for those of us looking to buy

[@akeeperofoddknowledge4956]

Just received a Victorinox One-Handed Trekker for Christmas. Love it! I mentioned it to a friend because I remembered your review of it. Thanks for the heads-up!

[@jamesvanminnen2676]

Very cool EDC. I like your old-skool approach and especially the Snake Eater knife design. That would probably do equally well in the semi-desert of South Africa 👍

[@anthonyisdead]

i like those side pockets on any edc pack ive had, its something i look for as they are really handy for dumping in items you use frequently.

[@spinningrodfisherman]

nice little haversack, good for slow casual strolls and light gear. but since the invention of a backpack i think its superior in many ways for longer distance and conserving energy or slight climbing. i think the best system is still a backpack combined with a much smaller lighter haversack if needed.

[@snellaltal]

Always wait for your new uploads definitely agree side pockets on a satchel are a must-have great video again

[@nelroman341]

Love your videos,can’t wait for the next one ,love the stealth camp videos, would love to see you stealth camp in NYC , I live in Brooklyn and I love watching your videos ,try to put myself in your position,awesome keep up the good work 👍

[@oldtiger8181]

I wanted to post a comment about your small bag that you carry, and I'm sorry if this is long.. Hopefully your subscribers will find my post useful. I've worked in certain fields of security for way over 35+ years, I ground travel up and down the east coast working on certain stakeholder/client sites. I've been through and stuck in some of the worst weather and other situations over the year and trust me when I say having a small bag like that has helped me out time and time again. I always have small bags like that in my vehicle, it is MORE important then a large pack back, it's light weight and it's always there and those small bags are cost effective to buy a few. I also have found having a small bag like these in a few rooms up and down stairs of my house REALLY helps. If a tornado drops out or anything happens suddenly I can grab and go from anywhere in my house (there is one right next me) . As a last tip, THE BIG THREE as I call them to have in these small bags as a minimum: 1) First aid kit (grown men don't say "Boo-Boo" kit and you add things as you see fit). 2) Multi-tool, there are a lot of clones out there that are $20.00 or less that I carry out for field use, they are not collectable items but they work 100%. 3) Some sort of self-defense tool that I can carry legally everywhere even in other states. I'm big supporter of 2A rights around firearms but people NEED some else to have in there bags that they can use easily. Does not matter if it is pepper spray, impact tool, knife.. whatever and having SOMETHING on you to defend yourself and your family.. In today's society is critical. Be well.. and take care out there.

[@ericasedc]

I love this James!!!! Can’t wait to do a response video!!!!! Awesome gear featured here!!!!!! ❤

[@randallminchew6780]

Yes. Come to Utah. I welcome you to my home state.

[@bryantcs0]

I like that you really enjoy the knife you designed. You found your grail knife. Which seems to be impossible for most. I do like the multi grind and thin blade. And metal choice.

[@jasonbolin7025]

Great video. Thanks.

[@benwilkinson45]

Fun video! Great gear! Love seeing that you actually use these items. My favorite flashlight of all time is the Thrunite TC20 V2 in neutral white. My favorite SAK is the Victorinox Hercules. Glad to see you back.

[@Ives1776]

What's that jackets name?

[@MountainSportAirguns]

Hey Mr.James, thanks for the tag my friend. I'll get out on the trail and put together a video soon, it's pretty friggin cold here at the moment. Wife and I looking forward to the foraging video. BTW that backdrop when you were walking away from camera, those mountain ranges looked epic. Cheers 🍻💪

[@matthewsmom010902]

Love my Tuff Possum bag!! Carry it everyday to work! Also really appreciate the fact that he is a fellow Buckeye ❤

[@tomsmith6094]

Where can I buy one bags?

[@JAB671]

I EDC a 'classic' Trekker. Mine gets used a lot for peeling apples and that sort of thing. I like the one hand opening capability of the newer one but the serrations make it a no-go, for me. The chisel grind wouldn't be something I would like, either. The last I knew I thought they had discontinued the classic version. It would be nice if they brought it back and I would love to have a classic style Trekker in the wooden handle scales.

[@richardelliott9511]

What a great compilation of gear and very good rationale for each item.

[@tugawolfoutdoor]

Very good video James, fantastic content, from Portugal with love, keep on going brother 😉🤩👌🇵🇹🇺🇸

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

Good looking choices, sometimes our favorite gear is not the best, just what we like to use. I have a small Optimus Terra Kettle that I really enjoy using... not needed but I just enjoy using it ha ha.

[@hangtough503]

Great to see you brother. I’m in Yuma. Love that you are promoting USA small business. Beautiful. D🤙🇺🇸😎

[@landminehopscotch3617]

First time watching and subbed. I was wondering where you got the jacket from? Btw, great video!

[@jsoll1695]

This is great What are the holes in the side of the bank behind you.

[@timbryan9701]

victorinox huntsman, victorinox swisstool, Esee Izula, enzo trapper, streamlight stylus (1 aaa) , Silky pocketboy, Bidor Parang, Bodark long parang, Exotac titanlight, lifeguard straw hat.

[@johnwilliams8654]

I have a small sling bag style pack that I prefer to a haversack. I can swivel it to the front of my body and wear a backpack with it. its large enough to carry all my edc and a few other small items, but stays more snug to my body. My main items I carry would be #1 Leatherman Surge, #2 Fenix pd36r flashlight, #3 Bark River Bravo1 in 3V, #4 Glock G19, #5 My Keen waterproof hiking boots, #6 Spiderco PM2 with the full serrated edge. Keep up the good work!

[@yellowboot6629]

❣️👍❣️🤗

[@lookoutpath6520]

Cool video! The Blast is great! I found one at local pawnshop. I like that the Phillips screwdriver fits the (Rebar) 1/4" hex bit adapter!👍 - so you can use it as a multi-bit screwdriver/ & also for hex shafted drill & auger-drill (by Bosch) bits!!! My most awesome bushcraft tool. I'm going to modify the smaller flat screwdriver blade into an awl; that will make it perfect 😊 Wish I could afford to try your snake-eater knife... it looks equally awesome! 👍👍👍

[@garylester3976]

Interesting... I started carrying a shoulder bag back in the early 80's that I made out of heavy leather, carried it for decades everywhere, called it my purse... Took alot of flak for it, guys called it my "gay bag", but Karma being what it is, same guys there after had car problems etc. and needed tools, and I got to say; "Oh! you mean from my gay bag?" That bag is now retired, I moved to the tropics and leather doesnt do well. but I carry other canvas bags with things I need. whats nice about nylon shoulder bags is you can set up more than one.. Like a town bag, and a bush craft bag, and a car or moto tools bag. and then just grab the appropriate one. On knives, I have always been a fan of simplicity, and have written about the stuff around since the 1800's on forums, but everybody now seems into trendy stuff. My personal bushcraft knife I made by cutting down a cleaver. and making new handle slabs etc. My criteria on small knives is will they peel spuds comfortably? if they do that, they do everything else fine. And in my survival kits I have kitchen paring knives from Chicago Cuttlery, for small knives. They were less than $10 each when I bought them. I might mention, that flashhlights are critical in snake country. Desert would be nice due to snake food being sparse, you should try the jungle, where snake food is everywhere. For instance near my farm in Costa Rica, Guys doing brush for a bean patch ran into 50 Fer de Lance in one morning clearing an acre. They make Rattlesnakes look like good neighbors. Highly toxic, ever village loses somebody every year or two to snake bite, usually kids playing or agricultural workers. Thats the most per area I know of, but usually we killed a dozen a year on my farm, but more were got aways. Snake Radar is a thing you devolope....

[@troyjenkins3886]

Hidden Woodsmen forest ruksak,Tough Possum survival scarf,Campcraft Outdoors basic haversack,Colorado Bushcraft ground cover,Victorinox Camper,and PNW Bushcraft cedar bag.My Fuerhand Baby 276 almost made the list but i dont use it on day hikes.

[@selaxlife7621]

Yeah posers are funny....great take on that subject...hey quick question...when u wear ur spurs, why don't u show ur horse u ride bro? Just out of curiosity.

[@matthewsmom010902]

Still waiting on my snake eater knife. Ordered it way back in the fall, I believe. Hoping it comes before I retire in June ❤

[@matthewsmom010902]

I ordered the mini.

[@pault.5914]

Your watch! Lol, I notice you wear a Timex weekender on a green woven band. I have one too. Simple, long battery life and awesome illumination at night with indiglo. Next favourite is my Casio AE -1000. EDC is not complete without a watch !

[@leehart9055]

Good morning from the Great State of Texas. Why do you carry a haver sack instead of a small backpack?

[@JunkyardFox]

i generally find it handier. its easier to reach and grab what i need as i move, instead of stoppign and removing my pack. its just personal choice

[@juliopinzon3558]

A man bag!! Very true you wouldn’t dare make fun of men wearing a kilt and their matching possibles bag. I still use a “fanny pack” with a Colt delta elite 10mm and a few mags to match the outfit 😅yeah im old fashioned like that 😂. Great videos keep em coming

[@peterdiebel7372]

Hello from British Columbia, Canada. Been enjoying your vids for about 2 years now. Really enjoy the camping trips around your area . agreat design on your knife. How many $$ are they going for ? Cheers James.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Good video 😊Thanks. Just watched the new Mandalorian

[@konfuzinuss8742]

Nice stuff...all of this six items...but your hat...wow...i love it 🤩 !!! Best Regards from Germany Frank 🤙🏼

[@davidsedorejr7599]

Gerber Strong arm is my knife to go to also the Leatherman wave for multi tool for my pack GEN two US Marine Corps rucksack boots will be the Keynes for a hat it would have to be U.S. Army For where I live a coat I had to pick one that would be the US Army woodland camo with liner winter coat God bless you and your family God bless the world is all just get along

[@rajeevprabhu6722]

I hate when these American junkies come to selling American branded products after doing a lot of bla bla about their love and passion for the subject....!!🔥

[@user-gn5uy6lx7z]

People, if you are going to hike, carry a Trama Kit in the least. If you or someone in your group or walk up on an injured person who has severe injuries, having a Trama kit could save lives. I highly recommend that you always carry a Bear Repellent. This can be used on any animal that poses a threat, and it works great for the two-legged animals as well

[@marderhund07]

This is my first video I watch from you- your channel looks interessing. I‘m sure I‘ll watch more videos. Gretings from Germany

[@jacksonteller1337]

I actually call my own haversack my purse taking away the opportunity for insecure idiots. But my generation is used to it they all have been drafted and worn one for 24 to 36 months. Only those reaching the age of 18 after the late nineties don't know what it is for.

[@steellovingyou8673]

Hi James and Quervo . nice to see you . Thanks for another great video. Thanks

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

You have so many videos since my injury and surgery I missed out on so much stuff I'm trying to get caught up!

[@Texo_McKevo]

I did an outfit in RDO

[@Romulu5]

The only problem i've noticed with a haversack - is that when I bend over to pick something - it gets in the way. Easy to solve that with a belt that holds in next to your hip. Thank you.

[@alholdway2003]

Thanks for info... While makes the jacket you are wearing? Nice fabric

[@Tracy81258]

Yeah! A new video!

[@ray3399]

What’s up James what do you think of making a limited amount of thicker snake eaters! Anyone interested?

[@chrisedwards4403]

Great vid - classy, clear presentation, well linked and researched. Insightful, helpful and enjoyable. Full Arnold (I’ll be back)!

[@brandonmitchell3617]

Favorite knife is randall model 4-4 small fish and gamer, Favorite flashlight is the surefire stiletto.

[@ronaldmclaughlin255]

The close hat to your is the Aussie digger for the Swiss army knife the ranger 78 has locking blades on the knife and saw with a non serrated blade and Tech has a great mult- tool .

[@mickeycrawford121]

too bad the hat isn't made anymore. i like it. i'm gonna check out the Thrunite lights. great to see ya again.

[@mountainhomeplace489]

I have a Leatherman Blast also, best Leatherman I've carried, very capable and compact.

[@randyyeager]

I love my Hidden Woodsman Haversack. I can add pouches or sleeves with the PALS webbing on the sides. I throw a bottle pouch on one side and an IFAK on the other. It leaves room for a lot more inside the bag. I also like that it has an axe sleeve on the back. Made of great materials. That haversack you have looks good, but I'm not a fan of the 1lb buckle on the front. I see it as overkill, no need for it.

[@Soupy_loopy]

Focusing on the flashlight while moving it around is making my head hurt

[@hikingwithjackieboy]

Cool review. Thank you for sharing.

[@gator83261]

Good point about the buckle being quiet. Among other good points.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Yeah forget the haters, Indiana Jones baby! Haha

[@johntuffin6665]

Is a cotton hat like his hot on your head in the summer? How bad do they get vs a boonie hat?

[@joesmntt]

Love the snake eater i am for shure going to buy one i love how you attached the flash light to your brim its really nice i carry a black diamond head lamp and a 2cell AA maglight everywhere rechargeable batteries in both i like to keep the option if i run out of juice i can put in shelf batteries i also carry the same swiss army knife i use it 25 times a day i live north in a colder climate lots of hardwood options like you talked about different climate different fuel types i keep a silky bigboy and a german bruks forest axe i use the saw way more should ditch the axe i feel its more of a defensive type tool slash weapon thinking of trading it for spetnas shovel more usefull and a sturdy defensive type your climate is pretty appealing but i have a big problem with creepy crawlys 😁 lots more little nastys in your neck of the woods i will keep up with your channel and subscribe look forward to learning more about your part of the country and the skills that go along with it rock on

[@jackschaferlifehunter9352]

I agree on the one handed trekker, great knife. I buy the serrated ones, put a V edge on them and they are sharp. I don’t totally get rid of the serrations,,,

I don’t know. I get the feeling you love to take all the wood for yourself.

Good video. I'm disappointed to hear that your favorite habersack isn't the NUT SACK! Tell me, how did you get a knife made to your own design? I want to design my own knife. But I don't have a place to make it. Are there people that do that? I need to know!

[@JunkyardFox]

you disagreed? let me know what are your choices for these gear items, im interested

[@no.9516]

@@JunkyardFox Yes just generally alot of heavy material, personal preference as you said : -Full pack becuase I dont like weight moving on one side - Mystery Ranch Saddle Peak (brown-discontinued) -Rubicon Sun Hat (also no longer made) -Leatherman Signal -Olight Baton and Black Diamond Storm -Esse 5
