practical EDC bag and contents

[@oxcart19]

Nice set-up. Love the re-purposed sippy cup, ha ha. Finally, someone who only carries what he is likely to need, not a stock-pile for every possible "what if."

[@704TACTICAL]

Cool video never thought about a lock pick set good idea! just did one with my edc bag

[@FFEMTB08]

Finally a true EDC bag. Not someone who claims EDC but its actually some survival bag. Nice set up. Thank you for your service to the great state of SC. You should consider a tourniquet and some combat gauze. You are in the military, I know, I don't need to explain. Be safe and take care!

[@garagegunz1451]

first off thank you for your support. I do keep a EMT grade med kit in my vehicle. as far as the bag I've always got a belt on me I could easily repurpose as a tourniquet. thank you for your suggestions.

[@timjon1122]

@@garagegunz1451 Have you ever tried using a belt as a tourniquet and actually occluded arterial blood flow on an arm and leg? I don't know what kind of belt you use but TCCC and/or Army Medical Research Center (I don't remember which) has determined that using a belt is hugely a myth.

[@garagegunz1451]

David Flores did you know the US military is only allowed to have contracts with companies that make their products in the USA? I'm not saying that some Gerber products are not outsourced to other countries. However the gear that we are issued including the knife in the video was made in America. Thank you for your comment though. I do enjoy passing factual information on too individuals such as yourself.

[@brixalpha]

I like it! I think a lot of people get so carried away with what they can stuff into their packs they lose sight of what EDC is. They pack more stuff that goes unused and more than I have seen soldiers pack for deployments, it's crazy. Looks like you got all your bases covered. Cheers!

[@sayeednmb]

Good urban EDC. I'm in SC too and glad to see your serving our country in our state.

[@jamesclark5350]

Great video

[@gorillahd9247]

Good video and a nice well rounded kit. Stay safe and thank you for your service. Scott

[@rmsg7504]

Great Video, like the first aid kit so I ordered a couple only $7 each. Thanks!

[@garagegunz1451]

@RMSG Thank you for the feedback. I like little kits that can make a difference in a tight spot. Bulky items tend to get left behind.

[@jordan-it2xf]

great load out bro lock picks are a great thing to have nice gear cheers

[@garagegunz1451]

thank you.

[@learningtobeprepared4866]

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.

[@garagegunz1451]

thank you for watching it

[@garagegunz1451]

Thanks guys for the feedback. My next video will probably be my truck. I will warn you though its is a little less practical.

[@fishing4life97]

In that med kit u should put a credit card knife super small sharp and more control than that razor blade

[@garagegunz1451]

that's a good idea I'll look into that. thank you

[@behindthen0thing]

nice practical loadout

[@garagegunz1451]

thank you sir. I'm working on doing a separate video of the bag I use in my off time.

[@behindthen0thing]

+Garage Gunz I'm trying to figure out what to put in mine. some people kinda take it too far. this is much more reasonable

[@garagegunz1451]

+John Arnold once you put it together and figure out what you want and everything. put your bag on and go take a minimum of a mile walk wearing it. that will help you narrow down exactly how much you actually need. I see alot of people confuse a EDC bag with a survival kit. you can help yourself by buying a smaller bag so it keeps you from packing to much to begin with.

[@bicommander7911]

Nice vid and backpack thank you for your service

[@garagegunz1451]

Bi Commander thank you

[@professordofuturo]

One thing that I noticed in your edc bag and in many other, is the size of the bag normally is too big for the itens inside. Maybe, a 20 liters bag will fits your gear and organized it better. But nice video. Gonna fallow some of your ideas. (sorry for the English)

[@wvoilfield1247]

good edc we always pack more junk than we need. I try to pack what I need. if I haven't used it I take it out of my edc.

[@jamesworkman9697]

Good little kit....in the military huh?....I feel you, having done my 20....certainly understand. One question...your active duty and you also like to go camping?...I definitely did plenty of "camping" in the Army...how can you stand it?...lol, just kidding. Hang in there brother...time goes fast on AD.

[@SavageMedic]

It does suck for this kind of stuff being active man, and still doesn't make sense why we can't carry on post. My edc bag has a decent knife I could use in a self defense role though.

[@garagegunz1451]

M.Ronan thank you for the input i like to hear good feedback

[@alextresadern3326]

Ah well im glad to finally see someone with some common sense, all these videos with guys carrying 20kgs of kit on them. i like your style, also im from the UK im reserve military but i dont understand what your term "active duty" is. here in the uk we either have Regulars or Reserves.

[@garagegunz1451]

it would probably be the same as your regulars. Active duty here is military is your full time job. Reserve is you do it a few days out of the month and have a normal regular job in the civilian sector. Then we also have national Guard that instead of being funded by the federal government it is funded by the state and is very similar to reserves as far as how they usually have both a civilian and military job.

Put a short iPhone cable in with that solar recharge so if a friend who has a apple product needs to charge up he or she can

[@mayfalltribe4747]

Modern Patriot if they use Apple they can eat shit..

[@super8valentine246]

Nice pog layout

[@garagegunz1451]

That is Cute. You grunts are always so creative. Although last time i checked you guys cannot carry personal weapons onto base either. So im not certain about the point you are getting at.

[@garagegunz1451]

James workman. Yes sir I'm active duty only been in 8 years. Camping is my way of relaxing. Most of the time when I go it's just me and the dog. Thank you for the comment I always like to hear feedback. More importantly Thank you for your service

[@abelardocortez6620]

What is that thing under the Drago logo? I thought it was a light at first but I'm just not sure

[@garagegunz1451]

its a light i picked up. its called a bug lite. i put the link below www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-BugLit-Bike-Light/dp/B005O0RS7O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1483205136&sr=8-4&keywords=bug+light+led

[@christianfranzone5617]

Nice video. What model of folding knife do you keep in your EDC? In Italy it may be a problem, to carry the knife in an EDC. At least it shouldn't be ready for use (against someone), that is hidden in a pocket, because of a 1975 law

[@garagegunz1451]

I carry a Benchmade folder or one of the smaller Spyderco knives usually.

[@christianfranzone5617]

@@garagegunz1451 I see. What's the model of the folding knife Gerber you carry in your EDC in this video?

[@thealize808]

Would like to see the truck :)

[@jonnyavalos336]

What kind of bag is it

[@michaelyue3255]

What lock pick set is that?

[@ToyoteroMundial]

Any updates in 2022?

[@R6_Steph]

Guessing your a POG. Good video tho

[@samsoncrosswood7259]

This is a man purse. Not knocking it, I carry the same type of bag, minus the magnum pi lock pick set. This is edc.

Could u like the bag

[@collinjohnson2971]

Dude did you know everybody was supposed to keep an m-60 in there bag. Wow man you fail at EDC😂😂😂

Joke?

+Fenrakro yes it's a joke

+collin johnson I took it as a joke. I even chuckled lol

[@garagegunz1451]

m Kopcza I am Active Duty Air Force.

[@tres6413]

your in the military and you dont know that gerber is crappy and made in china

[@drakebond1254]

+David Flores the sheath says made in the USA? also they are standard issue to deploying soldiers.

[@alexarcano]

Silly question, I'm not from the USA so I was wondering how the active duty in your Air Force works? You have another job and things, so is it like a part time thing like our territorial army in the UK?

[@drakebond1254]

+Alex Arcano no

[@alexarcano]

+Drake Bond ok, just 'no'? Right now I'm even more curious, he mentions work a couple of times as if it's a separate thing from his service and study too, so is that study in Air Force stuff or courses outside of military, so how does it work? Just in the uk your kinda limited and can't carry material from duty on your own electronic devices, and have to get prior approval for work outside service. Official secrets act and all that. Even after you leave you have to get permission to do certain jobs. Anyway, just wondering how it works in the USA.
