The Ultimate Survival EDC Pouch | My Gear Setup in the Vanquest FTIM 6x9 Gen 2 Maximizer

[@remfj40]

Great set up. Couple of items to consider... Sail needle with thread, Finger nail clipper, patch of mole skin, Strip of paper to write on with your sharpe, golf pencil might be good as well, bandana, attach gloves to outside, Spare money... Like you said everyone has different needs. Your set up is strong, just a couple of considerations.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Hi Robert. Thank you very much! Yes of course, I plan to add as much as I can and always welcome eveybodies input. So yeah will make another video with updates for it as time goes by 😊

[@majoroverkill1376]

Your EDC pouch is really well equipped . Great job on choosing your items. I am sure you will get hundreds of other suggestions some needed some more comfort but in the end its always what works for you and your location. There are no two EDC bags or pouches alike. Its always a work in progress, I am on my 12th or 13th bag/pouch now I think. I live in the High Sierra Nevada Mountain Range so my EDC would be completely different from someone who lives in Florida or Washington State. Different climates different gear. Great video and thanks for sharing, two thumbs up!

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you Doug! Of course, totally agree. I asked sinceI am just curious to see and discover new ideas and gear from people so I can do more videos. 🤗 Wow. Very nice!

[@dsaword2622]

Thanks for posting amazing set up 👆

[@ultimateequipment23]

And thank you for watching! 🍻 Also follow-up video incoming soon.

[@thewolfofwokest7521]

Good list. I would add : Writing pad and pen. Signalling gear. Navigation tools. Zip ties. Tape. Garbage bag. Shambourg. Knife sharpener. Lists of contacts and phone numbers and addresses. Snare wire fishing gear if theres water near you. Coffee and tea and sugar. Spoon amd fork. Monocular. M1 abrams tank.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you. Might need to do a second pouch, got a lot of ideas from you and other viewers. Yes, and an A10 Warthog as my drone. 😉😁

[@bubbamac7765]

A great video and presentation on a very practical bag with practical contents. I loved the positioning of the torch ! great idea.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you !

[@jovar7545]

best edc ive seen so far. I subbed

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you!

[@kingpin11111]

And perhaps a small but sharp tweezers to put into the first aid kit. It really helps treat some of the little delicate injuries.

[@slab4x477]

Very solid setup! I definitely picked up a few ideas for my next bag build.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you and glad to hear that 🤗

[@1ctf749]

Amazing pouch! Tons of room to put everything you need

[@ultimateequipment23]

Indeed! 👍

[@dalecarr5445]

Excellent kit.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thanks Dale 👍

[@michelroubos8440]

Nice kit and very nice gear. Love the Olight and the paracord. Kudos. I would add some tyraps, a few fishinghooks, a 1 litre collapsible water bag and some cash money.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thanks Michel! Perfect, will add them to my list for the 2.0 itineration 👍

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Brilliant setup! I have saved the Sawyer mini water filtration system to my Amazon wishlist. I haven't seen the paracord before, looks great. You could add a pen, I've just brought a tactical one that is multi-functional which I love. Thank you for sharing, you have a new subscriber 👍🏽

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you! Yeah I found that paracord by chance, had no idea they did that combo. Ah yes will do. Thank you so much again 🤗

[@maurolimaok]

Great video. Thanks!

[@Cherry_summers]

A S.O.L bivvy would be a great addition to this. It’s small enough to be clipped onto the bag. It also provides a great sleep system and protection too.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you, yeah that sounds excellent 🤟 Will add it to my list.

[@Cherry_summers]

No problem I hike and use that along with a homemade fleece blanket liner. As a make shift mummy sleeping bag.

[@kingpin11111]

I would also recomend adding a little tea candle or tallow lipstick. Once you set them on fire, they can provide stable fuel to start bigger fire even with not perfectly dry wood, and thus saving your lighter fluid and matches.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Another set of excellent tips. Thank you sir! 🤟

[@ClaudiuMunteanu]

great kit man

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thanks man! 👍

[@renza481]

A verry good and solid kit. My sugestion: some water tablets as a backup. Maybe have a look for your bandaids some kits have the shitty ones. I always use extra strong bandaids they hurt when pulling off but always stay put when need too!

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you! Great points, will do. So far I have so much new ideas that from you and other viewers that I can easily make another pouch. So we will see how it ends up, how much I can put in this one or make a secondary one. 👍

[@HiltonHeslop]

Awesome Kit

[@ultimateequipment23]

Cheers bro 🤘

[@kingpin11111]

Excelent survival bag! How about adding toilet paper tablets? In a dry state they are pressed to an extremly compact tablet and with a little bit of water they expand quickly to full size. I belive that in a survival situation, proper hygiene can save you from some nasty bacterial infection. Since it also highly increases your overall comfort, it can drasticly boost your morale and thus fortify your will to survive.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you! 🤗 Oh yes have them on my list to buy them since somebody else recommended them as well. Also I agree they are so vital!

[@kingpin11111]

Gorilla duct tape - extra durable tape that you can repair pretty much 80% of your broken equipment with. If you remove the inner hollow cardboard cylinder, which originaly holds the tape in place, you can wrap several meters of it around a small mirror, making it quite compact package and at the same time getting a well protected mirror, which can be usefull for help signalization or to identify and treat wounds at part of your body that you normally don't see.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Ah yes, I've got the tape and I am just looking for a simple and durable mirror. Thank you again! 👍

[@plangoodchips4266]

Also a Write in the Rain pad. Swap the sharpie for a dual tip sharpie

[@ultimateequipment23]

👍👍

[@Smallfi5h]

My highest recommendation is Knipex 87 00 100 Cobra® XS

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you Timothy. 👍

[@irfanahmed9112]

Pouch size matter nd easily adjust ur desired items

[@kingpin11111]

I also think you might want to add one high calorie chocolate bar with as much sugar and fat as you can possibly find. Even though it is unhealthy in a long term view and thus not good to be consumed often, it can drasticly boost your morale and energy in short term, which can make you walk for that one extra mile that might separate you from life and death. Also possibly a small concentrated caffeine tablet can have similar effect, prolonging your abillity to safely drive a vehicle in a desparate situations.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Foodwise yes, was looking to make a separate pouch just for that. 👍

[@ljaysperspective1775]

Good vid and detailed explanation. There is no perfect edc bag it's definitely a work in progress. Everyone situation is different. Also please include cost on the items or include a link. Thx for sharing

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you! I know, I love seeing everybodies perspective and gear builds. Sure, they are all linked already in the description. 🤗

[@nestopoeta]

What’s that little bag you had attached to it looks like a jacket?

[@ultimateequipment23]

It's a waterproof backpack 👍 3rd link in the description.

[@TheFossilChannel]

Just got my in today and will film what i have in it. Nice video ! I dont know if you use electronics at all or what situation youre building your kit for but mine is different in that i have a yaesu vx 1r ham radio Im a ham radio operator and a Ultralast Solar 2xaa charge with a 80-150mah usb 5v output for charging my light. I have a mecarmy 4sx and a nitecore nu17 headlamp as well as a 2xaa lumintop iyp25 tail click light. I use a small hydroblu 3 stage water filter as i use sawyer mini 128s in my other kits. I mount this bag on hsgi leg platform and where it on my thigh when im out in the woods.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you! Yes just wanted to get the pure survival ones in and then see what else I can add later like you mentioned like solar charger etc :) Nice list and thank you.

[@TheFossilChannel]

@@ultimateequipment23 I like how you have the sea to summit ultasil day pack i think i will add that on my setup. here is the video to my ftim kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWWd3evn8eea9U

[@angelmonroe1750]

Great video & kit, maybe you could add some latex/plastic safety gloves perhaps

[@ultimateequipment23]

Thank you! Good one, yeah 👍

[@randallkelley3599]

Get some round compressed dry towelettes from eBay. I got 100 individual packed towels for $10. Keep them in car bags and emergency bags. 💦 just add water.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Perfect. Thank you!

[@plangoodchips4266]

Victorinox Swiss Card Lite. It is a good first aid multi tool. Also buy an IFAK from Coyote Tact, Spiritus Sys or TRex Arms.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Nice ones! Thank you. I also had some time ago the swiss card in red. Very handy stuff, indeed.

[@plangoodchips4266]

@@ultimateequipment23 I needed tweezers and a low powered light and a small knife and a magnifying glass and that hit all the boxes.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Almost there then 👍

[@pavelperina7629]

Uh ... weight of this? For me personally EDC and survival does not go together, but it's quite good set for 3+ days hiking and sleeping under open sky or tent. And in this case I would ditch Leatherman for foldable saw or axe. And I appreciate sun lotion, for some reason almost no one mentions it and I EDC it from april to august. Lighter is weird, does it have wick?

[@ultimateequipment23]

Yeah I need to weight it. Will show that in my next video where I will update the list with the more stuff that I put into it. Sun lotion yes, it's in there - next to the flashlight. The lighter? yes. Check my review on it.

[@pavelperina7629]

@@ultimateequipment23 Ok, for me it seems quite reasonable for some purposes such as hiking/camping/long trips that can possibly go wrong. Fire is little debatable, cause it needs some purpose: signaling - might work great in national park :), cooking, boiling water to kill microbes (you don't have any container for that) and last one is just convenience - source of little bit of heat and light. Where I live it's sometimes easier to start the fire than to sustain it when everything is wet, so I would possibly add something that can burn for a while: candle as a source of wax, some fuel tablets ... well, hand saniter, paracord or bandage might do the job. I would add needle/safety pin/mini tweezers for removing splinters, thorns, ticks ... Then I found useful to have piece of wire to replace zip ties and to have some small zip-lock bag for protecting phone against the rain. And maybe piece of paper with important phone numbers, copy of id card and some extra money.

[@ultimateequipment23]

All excellent points Pavel 👍

[@madcat1007]

Can you recommend a slightly bigger pouch?

[@ultimateequipment23]

Hm how big? Just because quality wise it's hard to beat the Vanquest or Maxpedition in these sizes. Something like this - amzn.to/3qlsPIf ?

[@madcat1007]

@@ultimateequipment23 I have the Maxpedition Beefy, but cannot get everything in. So really just a few cms bigger on all sides. Cheers. Nice loadout by the way.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Aha I see. I will look further for you, you made me curious 😁 Maybe there are some vest/backpack attachments/pouches that should be bigger overal, for example. Thank you! 🤗

[@randomwatermelons6542]

Cool kit, but the touniquet in your first aid kit is for IV's, to make veins bigger, its not super great for limiting bleeding from wounds.

[@ultimateequipment23]

Oh I see. Thanks

Hinderer just expensive, with 20cv blade not heavy duty. In survival situation, the cheapest one i bet you will used more than expensive one. Try SR1 cold steel, it's come with blade thickness 4.8mm, 4" and cpm s35vn.. You can beat him till death, tri ad lock almost close to fixed blade. If not hit the ground, bone or burl wood, your blade never chip trust me.

[@ultimateequipment23]

I know that's why I gave a more budget option. And of course, your options are also very good, thank you 👍
