Practical EDC 2017

This is my Practical EDC at time of upload. It hasn't changed a whole lot in the last few years but small changes have made it my most useful EDC to date. Hope it gives you some ideas!

[@factfind9836]

Welcome back Patriot! Your common sense approach to the issues we enjoy on YT are always much appreciated.

[@Patriot36]

Thanks for that, Facts! Have a great weekend man!

[@jaredm3273]

I can't blame you for staying away from YT, but welcome back! We appreciate the work you put into your vids and you've certainly been missed...

[@Patriot36]

Hey swift, thanks for the kind words! It's good to be missed and I appreciate that a lot. I plan to stay in the loop with videos for the foreseeable future.

[@phall92139]

Picked up two pair of folding reading glasses like you showed in the video. Really good quality and comfortable. Fits the bill for compact portability. Thanks you for sharing.

[@Patriot36]

Sounds like the exact same two-pack that I found. Glad to hear you liked the quality as well! I especially like the weight at just over 1/2oz.

[@wesshepherd]

That is a LOT of good stuff in a small package! Especially like the reading glasses...I added the same style to my kit a few months back. You just got a new subscriber!

[@ds10363]

It's been a couple years I think by now since I've seen any new vids from ya. Glad to see this one! You are one of my fave reviewers

[@Patriot36]

Hey rockstar! It's been about 9mo I guess but yes, way too long. I plan on staying in the video loop for the foreseeable future. I'll try to post something every 2-3 weeks. Thanks for the kind words man, it's definitely encouraging. Cheers man!

[@phall92139]

Good to see you back. Always enjoy your videos. You provide lots of ideas and information based on real world use. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your reviews; lot's of work there. Anyway, don't be a stranger.

[@Patriot36]

okay will do! Thanks again Philip!

[@duncdunc76]

Think I happened across your chan a year or two ago and watched this vid and now just happened across it again while in a 2019 EDC Utube bing watching session. Sorry to see that you arent making vids anymore because you Sir made a Great EDC vid! And I imagine your insights into things of the EDC preparedness nature would be Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@jannah4288]

Now I would not be able to get all that in that bag 😖. I watch these things and am amazed. Thank you.

[@david_houston700]

Have missed your quality vids, Patriot. Glad to see you back at it!

[@Patriot36]

Hey David, great to see your name pop up, man! Thanks a bunch and catch you later.

[@barlscharkley5411]

Glad to see that you're back. Keep the videos coming.

[@Patriot36]

Dude, every time I see your name it cracks me up for some reason! :D Thanks, I'll try to get a flow going.

[@acet7]

Glad to see your still around, thanks for the update.

[@Patriot36]

Hello ace! Yeah, still in the scene and I actually have some interest and time to post again. I'll try to get some stuff up for you. Also open to ideas as well.

[@acet7]

A hiking or camping video would be nice. I had bought my side zipper boots from an outdoor video you did a long time ago as it was a great idea.

[@Patriot36]

I actually have a video that's mostly filmed, with hiking and an overnight. Walked out of a remote area all the way to the nearest highway. I'll try to finish it and post it in the next few weeks. Thanks ace.

[@acet7]

Patriot36 cool

[@RickyisHere]

HE IS ALIVE!!!! Good to see you!

[@Patriot36]

Hey Ricky, great to hear from you! Should have another video up shortly. Something for the weekend!

[@LOMROB]

Good to see you back Patriot. Have you visited the new REI in Chandler off the I-10 and Ray Rd? Great location

[@Patriot36]

Hey Rob, thanks dude! No, my brother has been there and I haven't made it out there yet. Perhaps this coming week and thanks for the reminder.

[@cadrician]

I was just thinking about you lately, and here you go a update's comin'in! Nice to see ya, look in shape and pretty single-minded. Can wait to see whats comin next, take care and see ya around...

[@Patriot36]

Hey buddy!!! Some viewer challenged me to make a video and I eagerly said okay, without thinking about it. I guess that means I'm ready to put some vids out again. See ya, man!

[@CampfireTalk]

Whoa! Nice surprise and packed with all kinds of ideas. Really not far off from how you've done edc for years. If it ain't broke... I still use a "girl scout" backpack to contain everything : ) That continues to work great not only for less items on my person, but also as a on the fly gym bag/day hike/ run option. Mobility and being ready for impromptu trips are necessary. Good stuff buddy, makes me want to shoot an update!

[@Patriot36]

Hey brosef! Everyone has got to keep a sweet girl scout rig handy! Yes, you're at least as overdue as I was!

[@footofjuniper8212]

Great kit! I would add a ferro rod, maybe a metal cup, but you've really got a ton of essentials covered!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks man! I've got the ferro rods and metal cups in kits the next size up. I've never had the need to boil anything from my EDC. Cheers TFP!

[@nozzle884]

Great to have you back!!

[@Patriot36]

Hey man, thanks for that! Have a great weekend nozzle.

[@ramsd1]

Glad to have a video back from you. Looking forward to some hiking videos 😃

[@Patriot36]

Hey Ramsd, thanks and you're welcome! Hiking videos are pretty easy for me to make but the views are terrible. I figure that if I'm going to post something, I might as well toss something up that get attention. And btw, it's nothing to do with ad revenue because I channel as tiny as mine basically posts for free. The revenue is a joke to be honest. In any case, I'm not opposed to making some hiking vids but I'll have to do it as part of a ramp up to regularly posting. Thanks for letting me know though! :)

[@doingitfresh7544]

This guy.... good to see you back.

[@Patriot36]

Hey Freshie, thanks for saying hi man! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

[@jerrybobteasdale]

That is the most "Gray man " EDC bag that I've seen.

[@ZombieSC]

Missed you Patriot! As always, great video and even a wildlife cameo. Hopefully we'll see more of you soon. :)

[@Patriot36]

Hey, been a while since I said, "thanks Grog!" so thanks Grog! Yes, thank you and I almost tossed in a rattlesnake video at the end and kind of forgot. When it got over 20min long I panicked trimmed the whole video as much as I could. I'll be posting more!

[@ZombieSC]

Thank you sir! And by all means, upload that rattlesnake video too. I'm always amazed at how perceptive and sharp eyed you are when out and about in nature.

[@Dave4644]

Good to see you back! It has taken quite the number of other channels to fill your shoes...

[@Patriot36]

Hey Dave thanks man! Can I ask about your avatar? Looks like you're a pilot, perhaps.

[@PhilandGina]

Great to see you again looking great, hopefully see some more hiking videos man iv missed those

[@Patriot36]

Thanks for that Phil. I mentioned to a guy below that the hiking vids are easy to make but don't get many views. It's hard when I'm not posting much because when I finally do make something it's usually for a video that had the most requests. Btw, it's not about ad revenue either and with YT changes, these days, channels like mine basically post for free. In any case, I'm looking at a couple of new cameras and you know I like to test them on wildlife, so I'll have to get out there. Watch for a "get home bag" video that's coming because I hiked a long way in that one, with an overnight! Don't want to give to much away yet. Cheers.

[@nycbike73]

Glad to see you back

[@LogicBob]

Good to see you Patriot!

[@Patriot36]

Thank Rob, good to hear from you man!

[@84SuperDom]

I miss your videos! Were have you been???????

[@dcrickerson7611]

Hey Patriot, so good to see you again! Great video man, it's amazing how much useful stuff you are able to put in such a small pack. Gave me some great ideas. Best wishes my friend.

[@17bruary]

Glad you're back, man. I usually comment on your vids as orchardridge, but can't get into that account for some reason. Missed your vids tho as you're one of my fav gear guys as well. Hope all is well. Look forward to future vids!

[@GREY1551]

I'm so glad your back! Great vid and edc you have set up! Patiently waiting the rest of big blade comparison vids 😉

[@brendenbell2737]

Wow you are still out there . I thought you were gone for good. Well done video and good to see you back! Brenden Ausrtalia

[@Patriot36]

Hey Brenden. Yes, still here and things are well. Thanks for the nice welcome and cheers from AZ!

[@LELDocSavage]

Nice to see you back Patriot!!!

[@Patriot36]

Hey, I recognize that avatar!! Great to hear from you, dude! Cheers from AZ and have a nice rest of your Sunday.

[@MrWmburr7]

I got some good ideas from your EDC. Thanks!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks for taking the time William!

[@MrGwaggli]

Good to have you back!!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Gwaggli! You're always a faithful comment-er!

[@jimmyggh1]

It's a great day when Patriot is back!

[@Patriot36]

Hey Jim, Thanks for the nice welcome, man!

[@TacticalOwl7]

Nice to see you back!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks TacOwl buddy!!

[@RazomDoPeremohy]

Good vid. What are some of your favorite podcasts to listen to?

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Keto! Mostly, philosophy and science pertaining to world views and how they relate to Christianity. If you're still interested let me know.

[@MrGhostwolf999]

Thank goodness! As a payback, you NEED to make a new evening raptor walk vid. Then I can forgive you......lol Glad you are back Patriot!

[@Patriot36]

Hey bro!!! Your comment got posted to the review folder and I have no idea why. In any case great to hear from you man. Funny you mentioned raptors... I was on the mountain bike tonight and followed a HUGE owl down a long street and was under her for about 45 seconds. She was completely illuminated with my helmet light and was as low as 16-18 feet. Zero sound!! I got an amazing look at her. Wish that was on video!

[@melaniexoxo]

Cooool! I love your EDC "update" videos.

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Lambchop! I'm happy that you enjoy them. I'll have a solar panel video posted shortly...

[@marvcarey6815]

I thought we had scene the last of you! hahah. Welcome back P36. Nice re-entry with a classic EDC video. I hope it's not another year before your next one, you've been missed. (too many vids feel like advertising these days, we need your old school style) Thanks Marv

[@Patriot36]

Hey Marv! Great to hear from you, man! Funny you mentioned that about YT because it one of my main gripes. Anything that sounds like YT language and anything that seems like an advertisement for a product or their own channel, drives me nuts. I don't promote facebook, twitter, my Amazon store, don't even ask people to subscribe. Just sit back and enjoy the video with no strings attached. Thanks for the support dude!

[@drojas2129]

It is nice to see you again. Good video, also. Best regards from Santiago de Chile

[@Patriot36]

Hey Dario, good to hear from you, man! If I ever go to Chile, can I let know?

[@drojas2129]

Absolutely. Anytime you wish please advise me. Have a nice weekend

[@Patriot36]

Thank you. I was researching Chile recently and could see myself visiting one of these years. I've saved you into my youtube contacts. Thanks again and have a great rest of the weekend!

[@jeremydelapp2552]

This is exactly what i should carry... *thumbs up*

[@robroberts1473]

hooray!! welcome back!

[@Patriot36]

Hey Rob! Thanks buddy!

[@NE_Ohio_Hiker]

Glad ur back. Great video.

[@Patriot36]

Thanks a bunch Austin. Have a great weekend, man!

[@lisamendez2213]

Glad to see you're back

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Lisa! Have a great weekend!

[@ebomey]

You're back! Great EDC.

[@Patriot36]

Hey ebomey! Good to see you man! Cheers and have a great weekend!

[@aldocdm6289]

In which kind of place do you need to have a magazine in your pocket

[@factfind9836]

Hey Patriot, just wanted to wish you and yours a blessed Christmas. I know that life intervenes but you and your vids are missed here on YT.

[@tntgamerdotnl]

Yaaaay finally you are back!! Did i miss you on here :). Have a great day.

[@Patriot36]

Howdy Rich! Well, I missed hearing from you guys so thank you for the nice welcome. I plan on staying in the video loop for the foreseeable future. Cheers! ...and have an awesome Wednesday!

[@cryptomnesiac]

Hey buddy, good to see you again. Hope all is well out that way! I finally made it to the west coast from my new england winter prison. Time flies huh?

[@Patriot36]

Hey Crypto, great to hear from you again! All is good here. Glad you made it out. Where abouts did you end up?

[@ratroddiesels1981]

you have some nice items for your edc my personal favourite is your tote bag it can carry many items and nobody would look twice at you , very clandestined and greyman .

[@Patriot36]

Yeah, I originally mentioned the idea behind that. Basically it's just what you stated, but I ended up editing it out to keep the time down. I try to blend in with my social surroundings and I look like just another guy carrying his lunch into work.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Great EDC man ! I've been carrying the Bodyguard for a few years myself. Peace

[@Patriot36]

Hey buddy!!! Thanks and great to hear from you. Sorry that I've been so quiet and I know that I'm way behind on your hiking stuff, so I'll have to stop over there. I used my sting-eez and the 10x loupe from my edc today. Funny how often I'm in that little pack.

[@nathan1991111]

finely patriot36 is back !!

[@Patriot36]

Thanks Camplife and if I already responded to you, sorry for doubling up.

[@hm.2173]

Welcome back!

[@Patriot36]

Hey thank you Harry. Always nice to see your name pop up!

[@egads2]

thoughtful it is.

[@wawhiker]

Hi P36! Good to see you again! Some very good ideas. See you again, hopefully soon?

[@Patriot36]

Hey Wawhiker! Thanks buddy. I wanted to tell you that I fell to sleep watching a couple of your recent videos a few weeks back, and you know I mean that as a compliment! Love the easy pace you take and of coarse, I feel like I know cooper. Yes, I plan on staying in the video loop, as far out as I can see. Thanks bro.

[@simezra]

hope you returned for good, missed your videos brother

[@Patriot36]

Hey simezra, thank dude because it always feels good to be missed. I hope I returned for good too. I mean, I don't know if I'll be posting weekly but I can't go 9mo again. I'll try to get something up soon and thanks again!

[@TheWcr84]

Hey man….. time for another video! Miss your stuff

[@MIKELS10]

Hey compa donde andas por que no has hecho videos?

[@liga712]

Nice info but my question is why do you feel the need to carry 4 extra clips of ammo. Are you planning on going to war?

[@Patriot36]

Thanks! Actually, they're called magazines. "Clips" is something entirely different and no, 4 isn't nearly enough for going to war, nor would this pistol be a good choice. I'd recommend a modern rifle. Thanks for watching.

[@cj63021]

Patriot36 you would probably take your pepper spray to war. Oh wait. Any man who carries pepper spray isnt a man, and therefore wouldnt be found on any active battlefield.

[@ChristianW1975]

Great video, i really enjoyed that

[@Patriot36]

Hey Christian! Glad that you liked the video, man. See you later!

[@genoburgess6817]

Make more videos, you got a good personality.

[@itsalik9447]

Great Video .💪👍✔✅

[@jtyearsley]

Took quite a step down from the Rush 24, didn't ya?

[@Patriot36]

Perhaps but that was a long time ago. Different job, different era. It's nice to be able to travel light, to be honest.

[@jtyearsley]

I can respect that. You seem to have the essentials covered, regardless.

[@wbaisjeff]

JT Yearsley I

[@MrPoncho2245]

long time no see

[@Patriot36]

How's it going Poncho!

[@ontarioman100]

Nice

[@Patriot36]

Thanks for stopping by man!

[@robertparlov2169]

thanks for posting that update by my request haha

[@Patriot36]

Hey dude!! I was just about to go look you up because I couldn't remember who made the request, but here you are. I guess the timing was right, I just needed a poke ....and you got the exact vid that you wanted. I'm open for other ideas...

[@robertparlov2169]

how about an email address i can send you some of my EDC pics im a big gear junkie ive tested a ton of gear any recommendations im here to help. my email is [e-mail]

[@robertparlov2169]

sorry [e-mail]

[@Patriot36]

I guess I meant to say, if you had any video ideas, I'll always consider making vids on suggestions. Also, to you have another YT channel or post pics on twitter or anything? If so, I could check them out.

[@UrielsJunkDrawer]

good edc

[@HarryHamsterChannel]

Yeah. Uh, no. I would never EDC all that. It's just a big disorganized ball of stuff. Maybe if I lived in the Amazon AND had a dynamite hotel suite... and a van. EDC helps me move along. I can't be ready to run from EVERYTHING.

[@one2three123]

nice

[@Patriot36]

Thanks man!

[@sipapito]

I guess you quit after a year long gone.

[@ymoisseev]

Барахольщик!

[@wchu702]

Practical?? Seriously? Center punch....give me a break.

[@DickPoleman]

hey, you're back....good to see you Patriot

[@DickPoleman]

I was just thinking that I remember first seeing you on a cruise or a ship of some kind...years ago.
