[@wesshepherd]

Good vid. The tendency with EDC is to keep adding until it becomes another get home or bug out so I think you nailed it.

[@jon87386]

pro tip: even if your lighter is out of fluid, it still has a sparker that can be used to ignite a fire if you have some really good tinder or paper.

[@Deepcore854]

A Sparky & PET balls.

[@chilljd9412]

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Jon fritsch Thank you Captain Obvious

[@willcorsair6099]

Gee, Grizzly Country. What an amazing comment. You don't have anything more to say? Wait...your "channel" doesn't have any content, so I guess you don't. Guess you're just lame.

[@jessicacanfield5408]

I had not thought of that thanks

[@CanadianPrepper]

Really liking the keybar, you have a really top notch EDC set up. Very slick and classy!

[@rodmueller1277]

Great little kit!

[@georgecrabtree2013]

One thing that I always keep in my SUV is a small Igloo cooler just big enough for 6 bottles of water and a zip lock bag of food bars. If the water bottles freeze and burst, the water is contained in the cooler and the food bars are in a water proof bag. A simple, cheap, easy to carry way to hedge your bet in an emergency and a good companion to your EDC or Get Home Bag.

[@THEAR15ONA]

I would add a bandana for breathing in dusty environments or to protect your identity.

[@yisushc9822]

Also tp!

[@mometal0519]

Personal opinion but... Drop the knife, the leatherman is your backup for the one already in your pocket. Add safety glasses for any possible night walking through the woods. Add a few light weight tent stakes if you need to turn that blanket into shelter. Lastly, a card of duct tape. Not only for sticking stuff but can be used with that fire starter to ensure fire.

[@steveclark..]

I agree on dropping the Benchmade, the MT has that covered and more.

[@mixter1023]

+mometal0519 A spare dedicated knife is a good idea, but I'd make it a small Neck knife style fixed blade.

[@thebran1659]

+mometal0519 tent stakes can be scrounged or improvised easily in urban or wilderness settings. To me thats a waste of space in a micro kit. Duct tape is a good add though.

[@mometal0519]

Again, just my opinion. But the thought behind the tent stakes would be that if I needed shelter, and I was digging into an emergency kit for said shelter, then I need that shelter asap. I wouldn't want to waste the time fiddling with found objects to secure it.

[@thebran1659]

mometal0519 Agreed, these are all just opinion and everybody operates differently. For me personally, I haven't carried a tent stake in over 30 years and have set up many camps in dark/rain/cold. Stakes just don't really take me any time to find or improvise. I could use the extra space in a micro kit for other items.

[@mixter1023]

A few changes I would make is to carry the spare magazine or 2 on your belt, if you need it you may need it fast. I'd swap the spare folding knife, for a neck knife style fixed blade, preferably one with a para-chord wrapped handle. A small hank of bank line or even a spool of dental floss would supplement your cordage as well. You have no water carrying ability so add a one liter water bag, some purification tablets, and or a large square of heavy duty foil just in case you need to boil your water.

[@stratfinders8095]

Three weeks without food? I can't go three HOURS without food! You should sell this kit to consumers.

[@newhampshirebound8551]

Holy poop! That is one whoopass belt! No gun needed, just beat an attacker with that belt!

[@PiperV0315]

Very nice, I keep missing stuff, must have turned off my notification some how. I am ridiculous w redundancy. But, several times there have been need of some of the things in my different little kits....tums while we where elk hunting for example. something I had just added to my EDC car bag. So anytime you could have need of stuff that's not necessarily an emergency need. speaking of....better make sure it got back into my bag😉😉😉

[@fdnyesu]

Something I'd add would be some type of reflecter vest. If your in a situation where you have to walk home and it's raining drivers aren't always going to see you. So not only will the reflective vest keep you from getting hit by a passing car it will make you easy to spot in the dark

[@schenkis1859]

BlindShooter Declan just dont walk on a road?

[@Lonewolf6565]

A joggers vest is never going to fit in that little pouch.

[@PRiver-sv2mc]

Without seeing this presentation, I purchased a Benchmade Barrage & love it. My model's been discontinued, but I'm going tofind its replacement for my next folding knife! Thanks, SP!

[@susansmith6564]

I always keep a few zip ties in all my bags -- including my first aid kit. Your videos have given me great ideas. Thanks! I now keep a good first aid kit in my range bag -- it never comes out -- and I hope I never need it. I bought one for my dad, for his range bag.

[@filipinophreak]

ur videos are so so so helpful.. thank you sootch for everything you.. best channel for being prepared and ready..

[@CaptainKzer]

three items to consider adding/ swapping: handcuff key, laminated emergency identification information (name, address, two emergency contacts, blood type, etc.), cable ties, deflated ziploc bag for transportation of water. "tactical" pen for use as a glass breaking tool and a more reliable stream of ink then standard gel pens (some also integrate a handcuff key, notably the UZI tactical defender), swap paracord bracelet for BladeHQ "prep cord"

[@snarbywrx]

I have been carrying a pack like this in my pant cargo pocket for a over a year. I really love your setup. One thing I did for the flash drive was I scanned in all of my important documents, especially property insurance forms, encrypted them and stored them on the flash drive. I have the type of flash drive that can be plugged into either a standard USB or the mini USB, so that I can even access my files from my cellphone. In the event of a catastrophic loss of of my house or whatever, I can always access my important information.

[@OnyxATX]

Prybar and fishing line. Add those in! It's really fun when someone locks their keys in the car hours away from help... or when cell phone batteries are dead.... both those things have saved my butt more than most of my edc.

[@djdoubleu1]

I use the exact same bag. I carry some medical supplies in it, a small candle, a headlight, multitool, compass and solar blankets. I also carry a high quality dust mask since I work in Brussels which would be a prime target in most euro SHTF scenarios...

[@stacylolley]

I was thinking of something very similar but keeping the majority of items inside a stainless water bottle like Klean Kanteen with a carabiner. I have a roly poly dump pouch to either transfer the items to when the bottle is needed or if I came across usable items along the way. Thanks Sootch.

[@SkinnyMedic]

Great suggestions!

[@05017351]

I would add a very small quantity of squashed fire-lighter block (or another type of tinder). That would take a spark and help getting a fire going very quickly. You already have a strong plastic bag for your batteries so the fire starter could always be kept dry. Also good if your out at a friends and need to get the BBQ going!

[@oakquade2420]

I got a bushenel solar wrap mini as a back up power source. I like the whole off grid thing.

[@cMaXeJIJIo]

Speaking of keeping things dry, I like to collect those little silicate grain bags they put into vitamins, supplements and electronic devices packaging so I can use them later in ziploc or other containers for batteries, pills etc.

[@bruceforster3709]

Home Depot sells an off brand version of that little I7R flashlight. It takes 1 AAA Battery & produces about 200 Lumens. It was only $10.00, & it lives on my Key Ring. I put it there, because I ALWAYS have my Keys, and in an emergency, that little light will get me to my more serious gear.

[@johnmcdonald5998]

Thanks brother for having the backbone to make a video that helps people think about their personal safety!

[@heypaolos]

I'd add some good sturdy tweezers. Takes up no room at all, but are really handy for removing splinters, manipulating small objects etc.

[@chubbyzombie666]

I’m making 3 kits. Wife and daughter I have bought a Baofeng uv3r. Set to the local repeator and nothing else. Uv5r for my pack, Also a Compas in the event of an EMP and no cell phone or daily route is blocked.

[@dennispoley6005]

Good stuff! I would throw in some small fire starters/tinder cubes, a small ceramic rod or other sharpener, a little prybar/tool of some sort, a bandana, button compass, a few tie straps, an empty baggie, and wrap some duct tape around the pen or marker... sounds like a lot but its all small, lightweight stuff. Probably would remove the spare mag and carry that on me, and use a thinner,lighter knife.

[@marycahill546]

Good kit. Although I like Maxpedition, the kit I made for my nephew for under the front seat of his car is in an over the shoulder sling bag. Easier to carry for impromptu short hikes, or walking for help. I think a headlamp flashlight would be better than a flashlight.

[@tungstenwhizard4361]

$20-$50 bill is a tiny (in size) addition but can be hugely useful in a dire situation.

[@surviveanything4765]

I would add a pair of gloves. I have a little more extensive EDC in a small sling pack; not much larger than your maxpedition. I'm in CA and we could have an earth quake at anytime so I also include safety glasses and n-95's and my kit covers all the C's of survival. I call it my get to my car bag which contains my get home bag. Or if something happens to my car, I can still make the 20 mile trek home with just my edc.

[@LogicBob]

You could scan some important documents and store them on the flash drive. That would really increase it's usefulness. Things like, your drivers license, concealed weapons permit, insurance information, deeds, marriage licenses, car title and registration, a text file with phone numbers and other important info, maps, etc. I like to put it all inside a password protected .zip file because it's reasonably secure (with a strong password) and it can be opened on anything- Windows computers, Macs, Linux machines, and even most cell phones. Plus it doesn't require additional, proprietary software.

[@user-pz5ju7mw3k]

That is one hell of an idea thank you

[@SirenaSpades]

Oh yes, personal information for identity thieves to find if the vehicle gets broken into. Great idea.

[@AirsoftInsurgency19]

I would add a signal mirror and a bandana. Multiple uses for a bandana, always good to have a means of signaling to other people.

[@lifeinbobbysworld5415]

I carry , in my Maxpedition EDC pouch, a Storm glue that can serve as normal glue, but also use to patch your rain gear or backpack. Good stuff!

[@mattlove2110]

I would subtract the extra knife since you have the Leatherman and add some kind of fire tinder. A bandana is an excellent piece of kit that I do my best not to leave home without. I'm more of a trash bags type of person which is a suitable substitute for the SOL emergency poncho. I do like the kit overall and want to thank you for the video.

[@thesergeantprepper.2208]

Excellent video, great kit and ideas........

[@Ugorr42II]

Hi. I miss a Bandana and ZipTies. I prefer the Sayer Mini Water Filter. Greetings from Germany

[@hoosierarcher]

I think I would go for a fixed blade knife since that bag is big enough to hold one or clip one to the outside of it. I also like to put a pack of gum in contingency bags. Chewing gum keeps your mouth moist during a hike. In a stressful situation it can have a calming effect. I have been thinking about including a small prepaid cell phone aka a burner in a contingency kit against the possible lost or stolen primary cell.

[@WanderingLion72]

After reviewing several KZbin video's regarding "Get Home Bags," I have noticed a weakness in every bag, something universally overlooked: COMFORTABLE shoes. If you find yourself 20 miles from home, walking back in dress shoes or work boots is going to get real old, real quick. Keep a pair of comfortable foot wear of your choice with your bag, in the trunk.

[@grouch314]

WanderingLion72 my pack sits in the trunk with a pair of good comfortable boots and a full change of clothes. That way it doesn't matter what I'm wearing, I have proper clothes and shoes.

[@Cetok01]

I think carrying such an obvious bag could draw the unwanted attention of thieves, thugs, and jackboots. The thought occurs to me that for such minimalist EDC supplies, you could replace the bag with a strong belt laced with small, horizontally-carried pouches that don't extend far outside the width of the belt itself. For normal storage, keep the belt wrapped inside a non-descript, light windbreaker or Army-style field jacket. If you have to scoot, wear the belt inconspicuously beneath the jacket and play the 'gray man as you move out of the area'. It would probably be advantageous to tie at least 30' of heavy-duty (750 lb) paracord bundled along the length of the belt, and lightweight leather work gloves in the pockets. Tie a solid bowline on one end of the cord and attach a carabiner. This could be used (with the gloves) as an emergency-only slide line (attached to a desk leg or other strong object wider than the window) if you need to escape from a second or third-story building in case of fire, etc. (Practice with real gear first, of course.)

[@MrShkodran1]

hi there! personally i would leave of this system the knife since there is a multi tool which already has a blade on in and would replace with another loaded magazine, since there is some space. i would also add some paper towel wet or dry based on preference. and maybe changing the farro rod for some windproof matches (if you are not working that far from home), more lightweight and much easier to use. also a couple of advils and some orbits are always good to have with us. great channel, keep up the great work! :)

[@bruceforster3709]

Scotch: My wife & I absolutely LOVE your videos! In my case, as a Diabetic, I CAN'T go three weeks without food. Knowing this, I have altered my EDC & GHB packs accordingly.

[@Justme-ok3bf]

I use a washbag, no one knows what's in it (much stuff even a survival tin quite a bit of cordage, space blanket, you name it it's in there). I have an additional med bag in my EDC bag and my handbag (i always carry two bags, one tote one handbag) and my handbag always has to have many pockets for me I always have simple emergency/survival stuff in my handbag (whistle, compas, flashlight, medkit, expanding towel, plastic spoon,...). Oh and a little sweet thing to own is a pocket sized SAS Survival guide (I even have several on my ereader I always lug about). I am addicted to your vids, some of the best! And I have seen many, hardly any by women for handbag EDC or survival but still I keep coming back here! As I am in Belgium there are no guns here for public use (heck even pepper spray is illegal here) so I need not worry but I do carry a multitool with knife and a small keychain knife. So thank you all the way from Belgium! And keep making great vids :)

[@djdoubleu1]

heh, niet gedacht dat er nog belgische preppers waren ;)

[@Justme-ok3bf]

+Wim Van Lierde toch wel hoor! Niet te veel denk ik maar enfin!

[@sootch00]

+Basterdette Thanks for the thoughtful comment and for watching. Sounds like you have it well thought out. I wish you the best.

[@Justme-ok3bf]

+sootch00 thank you!

[@steefke007]

+Basterdette er zijn nog preppers bij ons, mss zelf meer dan we denken! ;-) SW gent...

[@joeld008]

I would look at adding a roll of thinner cordage. paracord is great... but most times you don't need the 550 strength. 50 ft of 100lb line is extremely small and would allow you to save your paracord for the times when you need all the strength.

[@poppopscarvinshop]

I've got a pair of socks in my bag. I'm a diabetic and need to keep my feet dry as I've already lost 1 toe due to trench foot. Great Video, Thanks Much!

[@JustInCase308]

I would add a Fresnel lens, you could keep it in your rite in rain book. I would also add a button compass.

[@cbrooks97]

I've made something similar that can fit in a fanny pack. The one thing I've got that wouldn't fit in this kit is gloves. Given that you've probably already got water purification in your real "get home" bag, I think switching the filter out for one of those commercial water faucet keys would be more appropriate and save you some space.

[@JonHeckendorf]

First, this is the third, maybe forth, time I had to subscribe to this channel over the last few years. When I stumble upon a video by SensiblePrepper, I want to watch, every once in awhile, I see I am not subscribed. I am wondering why? Thank you for taking your time to make this presentation. I enjoy your ideas and equipment choices. You make me think which is good. I enjoyed watching and thinking about this minimal EDC. Great video.

[@vettepilot427]

I vacuum seal my space blanket to save space since it's pretty much a disposable item anyway. You would be surprised how thin and compact you can get one by repackaging this way. You can also use the same method for flat packing an ace-style bandage.

[@pokepokefanfan]

i would carry lockpicks, they are light,compact and if you are in a shtf scenario or everyday could come on handy

[@willytrouble88]

Great video! My EDC is similar. I would consider adding a small compass, small military sewing kit, and half of a hacksaw blade with one end wrapped in gorilla duct tape. The tape serves as a handle and of course can be used as tape! I will add the space blanket to my kit! Thanks, Sootch!

[@fyremanjef]

I based my kit off of this one. I added a 1L folding bag for water. Loksack style and a few h20 purification pills. I also have a Becker small fixed blade instead of a folder. Thanks ! Jeff

[@Lunas2525]

I use my laptop bag for most of the extras. that said the battery backup and flash drive I would probably opt for a battery backup that runs off solar or primary cells rather than the single 18650 style there. If the purpose of the bag is emergency some of that stuff is not used on a regular basis. If you are not using what is in there regularly you dont need to carry it in that bag it can go to the real emergency bag. The following would be removed from mine if I were to buy this exact package. the water purification straw, the fire steel, the folding knife would go to the bigger bug out pack. I would swap the battery bank to a solar lipo one and keep it in the mesh on the front and the usb stick would be a backup of important documents.

[@gageechols6533]

You may want to swap the paracord bracelet out for one that is a solid color. The 2 tone bracelets are made of 2 separate pieces of paracord that are weakly fused with a lighter. If you need to use more than half the total length of cordage then you have a problem. Now yes this can be easily fixed by tying a knot to fuse the two cords together but in some situations the knot can get in the way. To me, it's better to have one long piece of cord that you can cut as needed rather than 2 pieces that need to be attached together.

[@dennisleblanc7933]

I would add a compass button to your small pack.

[@willriley8721]

I only keep one flashlight in my EDC bag because I always have my phone as a second. I understand, and like the concept of that extra one to see inside the bag. But personally choose not to. I'm adding one of those emergency ponchos though! Way better than those little $2 blankets you get at Walmart.

[@michaelwilson4339]

I would also add a small mirror because it has a ton of uses.

[@stringsnthings-etx1]

In this case, I might also add one of your prepper hacks and add a chapstick tube with some cash inside. Drop the folding knife, you already have a multi-tool - use the space for a rolled wad of 100-mph tape (or just wrap it around the sharpie or even around the cover of your notebook). Great video nonetheless.

[@AppanParsu]

I have something similar to that, which all goes on my belt in two smaller pouches.

[@Jingleheimerschmidt]

I recommend a paracord belt. It is super strong and has a lot more cordage

[@ICPadict36]

I PERSONALLY would switch out the folder ( from the bag ) to a small, full tang knife. great edc by the way!

[@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors]

I personally would go with a fixed blade, I'm not much for folders, fixed blades are a lot more hardy. I edc a Blackjack Tac Ops 4 or a Esee 4 everyday. Some other suggestions could be a Tops BOB, Becker BK 16,17. The functionality of a fixed blade supersedes a folder even if it is a Benchmade. Great video as usual Soocth00 and God Bless.

[@karvanalle6094]

Hello, Sir. Greetings from Finland. Thanks for all your educating and entertaining videos. Your edc covers just about everything. In my personal use I would be adding a pack of papertowels and a small bottle of handsanitizer, which can also be used for starting fires. Keep up the positive additude, which is something most other preppers fail to do. Life ain`t so bad after all..

[@davidleblanc1812]

one thing I'd add to a "get home kit" would be a map and maybe a compass.

[@scotthill6807]

I would consider a needle and thread, a small amount of Duct Tape and a small tube of Super Glue. They can come in handy for a number of uses.

[@AdamRapier]

Great video Sootch. Instead of the folding knife I would change it to an esee Izula II with out the scales to make it thinner or something similar size that's full tang. Since you already have a folding knife on you for EDC and the multi-tool in the kit can be your secondary folding knife option. Also go nutnfancy style and get one of those fenix head bands for the secondary light they don't take up that much room with a single cell light.

[@michaelj3971]

Great video. I saw several items I need to add to my get home bag. Thanks!

[@simonbelmon]

Cool kit! I would add 3 things that should not take that much space... Zip ties, garbage bag and some tin foil. Saludos desde Mexico!

[@timothyoberg3042]

good video, I would add some dryer lint maybe in the dry bag with the battery

[@rylancory]

Could you possibly do a Winter Survival Bag video? Winter is around the corner and I'm setting up a bag for my car. Something that will keep me going for up to 2 days. Would be cool to see your opinion on what should be in a bag like that incase I missed anything.

[@focustuner10]

Nice video! I think that I would add a sheet of folded up plastic for a small make shift shelter. Just a thought though.

[@frankjackson533]

Thanks for the info. You have the best channel on you-tube!

[@needparalegal]

A watch? I don't think so... I would add gloves. The one thing that always happens in emergencies is you rip your hands up. If your hands stop working you are dead....

[@domenik8339]

Great idea.

[@CarlosEduardo-qf5gr]

+StarSeed Gloves are important, but the watch is just his watch, part of his EDC, not the kit...

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Apparently you don't know how to navigate utilizing a watch as well as how important time is in emergency.

[@os2soliz]

Safety glasses, even clear ones because walking through anywhere with trees or debris at night your eyes will thank you.

[@odavis6912]

I made an EDC CARRY SYSTEM, that I wear every day. I can carry (5) at the same time, two with 6 inch barrels, (5) handguns, with back up mags(3) on my EDC SYSTEM (2) .357's (1) 1911 in 10mm (or one .357, the 1911 in 10mm, and a .380), (Norm.. .357 and 1911 in 10mm),(2) 40 cals belt holsters, tweezers, cigar cutter, leather hole punch, small flat blade screwdriver, sharpening stick, honeing stick, needles/ thread, folding scissors. toenail clippers, cuticle nippers, (2) knives (1 fixed blade, one folding~ folding also has flat blade and Philips head in it), firestarter, compass, bottle opener, ear buds, multi purpose needle nose pliers, (2) flashlights (1) key chain flashlight, one mini mag type. Swiss tech multi tool, alcohol wipes, bandages, soon... 2 throwing knives. I made a " cross breed " system that is like a belly band, and a vest made together. I wear a cover shirt (opened ) over it. All people see is the elastic in front, and think Im wearing a back brace. Its comfortable, taken me nearly 8 months to get it right (I have to fit in the bucket seat of a small sports car. Sorry I can't post a pic, and Im alla adding to it. I have made it convertible. I failed to mention that I almost always carrying my belt holster for my 1911 in 10mm (empty) SHOULD I decided to switch out, to a faster draw position, should I see myself in a stinky situation(s).

[@edt3836]

I would have to say that I prefer the Streamlight Stylus Pro. It a great bright flashlight that is about the size of a pen, and the price on Amazon is around $20.00. I like carrying a flashlight that uses the standard AAA or AA batteries because in a SHTF situation, they would be a little easier to find, in my opinion.

[@CCRLover1]

I love your your bag videos and the concepts that go with them. Your Channel is one of my favorite prepping ones. I have another idea for a gear bag that you can do. I have not seen a lot of videos on KZbin on a mobile ham radio go bag. I looked at the ARES and RACES sites and the kits are too big though and are only good in a vehicle. I was hoping you can do a ham radio go kit in a bag on your person.

[@cyruskhalvati]

a little larger back up battery that is flatter so you can fit it in the middle without sacrificing anything, also put the survival bracelet on and put another one or a length or 550 cord into the bag

[@glduncan68]

Another great video. Always challenging us to think about the "what-ifs"

[@bjbjbjbjbjbjbjbjbjbj]

"find the bag that sootch your needs" lol

[@connorjackson860]

On the food portion I know you said you don't want to have to rotate out stuff. I recommend the survival tablets, can be condensed without the original packaging and lasts up to 25 years. Check em out

[@stefanr00]

Well thought out EDC get home kit!

[@timlipinski2571]

My urban Go Bag/Get Home Bag is the Maxpecition Testudo Laptop Backpack bag and tethered from the large D-Ring is the Retractable Tether that holds the Fox40 rape whistle (per Nutnfancy). The large inside pocket fits the AR500 Backpack Level IIIA Soft Body Armor and also provides more padding for the laptop. The Goal Zero Flip 20 Recharger with a micro USB cable to charge the clamshell Mil. Spec. Kyocera Duramax cell phone (less than $20.00 USD on ebay) with eight hours of talk time for the chatty types and the GQ GMC-300E Plus G-M Counter. Thank you for the video ! tjl

[@thomassumrall7625]

was wondering if you had looked at the aquamira frontier pro for s survival straw? it hooks up to a water bladder, can screw onto most bottles and you can get an adapter to turn a hot water heater into a gravity feed filter. Runs about 20 bucks at so.

[@lolahuston926]

Kurt Kenehan of course

[@omar1s1]

For me, it's 3hrs and I might go ballistic.

[@deltadawn6868]

I love your videos! I would add a needle and thread, the little kit you get from a hotel, it's light and could be used for emergency sutures and gear repair.

[@csh6220]

I would add mosquito repellent. You can get a small bottle with 40% to 100% deet, or citronella if you do not like chemicals. Mosquitos and ticks can ruin your day quickly. Maybe a bandanna as it is so light and has many uses. I like small compact kits as I am more likely to take it with me than a full backpack.

[@TherealBrandonHatcher]

I would use a ball point pen or the write in the rain pen instead of the gel pen. Otherwise lots of useful tools.

[@RD-cw9ik]

I would add a very small tube of crazy glue to close up wounds and obvious. I would put tiny cable saw and a decent pair of gloves

[@rsvp6]

I would add a small pry bar, a whistle for signaling, I also have two of the bags women use to store breast milk, sounds weird but they are sterile until you use them and are resealable great for carrying water.

[@jakestreater4451]

"everyone would be of good courage if they had as much gear as you". -demolition ranch

[@semanticssimple2053]

Hey brother, I would add an oz of silver and $100.00-$200.00 bucks cash, and swap up your pen for a tactical pen. You can get them with handcuff keys and lights, fire steel what ever accessory you might want, plus they write quite well. You should also wear your para cord bracelet and use para cord for your boot laces. A lock pic set would also fit quite nicely in your organizer(just the basics) a tension rod with a few picks, but only if you practice. Don't want to learn how to pick locks when you need to pick a lock. Stay safe be prepared.

+Semantics Simple A simple bic pen can be used to kill a person pretty much as readily as a tactical pen (the tactical pens last longer, for certain). But, a tactical pen, in addition to a pistol with spare mags, two separate quick deploy folding knives, and a blade on the multi-tool ... how many different weapons do you imagine passing by before you decide to use a metal pen to defend yourself? Handcuff keys are a little over the top, no? Of the 300 million people in the US how many people in the last 5 years do you think has needed a handcuff key to save their lives? I'm sure it's happened at some point with a home invasion or whatever. More people die falling and hitting their head. So, maybe you should wear a helmet all the time before thinking you should have a handcuff key. Statistically speaking it's much, much more likely to save your life. E&E stuff really is a bit far fetched.

I have a couple of clif bars and small bags of peanuts I got in Walmart 2 for a $1 I'm diabetic and a few metformin pills I had the pharmacy make up a small script bottle to carry them in, so I don't get collared with script meds and no bottle.

I would replace the knife and multitool with a more high-quality multitool, like a Leatherman Charge or Wave. In my opinion, having a multitool and a separate folder is redundant. Most higher-end Leathermans have two locking blades, and they work just like folding knives. So I would just go with a high-quality multitool to save weight and bulk.

That pistol looks like something Batman would carry.

Don't forget your post-a-notes..... But seriously, I carry a compass and map everywhere..Not a huge one but a small 50 state map you can get from any truck stop.... But I guess very few people can navigate a compass anymore...

I would add duct tape wrapped around an old credit card or hotel card. Also sun glasses, the reflective style aviator. lighter weight, good for blocking the sun, protects your eyes if walking through brush or blown dirt. They can also be used as a impromptu signal mirror.

I’ve created my own mini Get Home Bag, not kit, it’s a little bit bigger, I have used Wisport Sparrow Egg bag for it, it is still small and compact, but I have all essential items there.
