WHAT IS IN YOUR EDC?

Tim Kennedy shares what is in his EDC during these current times.
"EDC" stands for "Everyday Carry." It refers to the collection of essential items that individuals carry with them on a daily basis to help them navigate through their day-to-day activities. These items typically include tools, accessories, and personal necessities such as keys, wallets, phones, multitools, flashlights, pens, notebooks, and other items that individuals find useful for their daily routines and potential emergency situations. EDC items are chosen based on individual preferences, lifestyle, and practicality, and they often reflect the unique needs and priorities of the carrier.

About Sheepdog Response:
Sheepdog Response was founded by Green Beret, Special Forces, Sniper, and former top 5 UFC Middleweight, Tim Kennedy. Tim was also the co-star of Hunting Hitler on the History Channel, and more recently, Hard To Kill, on the Discovery Channel.
People face threats of violence every day, ranging from large-scale terrorism to one-on-one assaults. Most people are unprepared, unequipped, and untrained to respond effectively. This weakness in the flock allows the wolves to attack with great ease and success.
The answer is not more laws. The wolves don’t follow them. We must give the good guys the tools they need to effectively respond to violence. The more Sheepdogs we can train to be truly ready to respond to a mass shooting, terrorist attack, violent mugging or home invasion, the better the chances are that the bad guys will get what they deserve and the good guys will survive. Most people sign up for martial arts or weapons training expecting to learn realistic self-defense, and few get it…
We have developed a curriculum that addresses the skills you need to successfully respond to threats

Finally! Someone with a realistic approach to their EDC....I absolutely hate the clickbait thumbnails, with every bit of gear under the sun, for "everyday" carry.

[@Nutty2087]

Oh you don’t carry two spare mags, with a backup gun with two spare mags for that? Spare knife for your knife? Light and spare light? I guess you don’t like being prepared.

[@jimmiferfreddette8583]

I don’t carry a lot but I get it. It’s a hobby and it’s fun for dudes to geek out on it. That being said. The guys that carry too much and pretend anything less is being irresponsible are incredibly annoying. I would consider being able to run away, pick up kids or hide more important than carrying 3 extra mags and your pockets full of shit.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

[@jlogan2228]

[@kentallen8838]

Similar EDC here. I also carry a small plastic pill carrier (for pain/allergies), a Leatherman Free T4 (great USA-made pocket tool) and a small Victorinox knife with the nail clippers (comes in handy more than you think). Sometimes I’ll carry a small flashlight and a tactical pen. Jeans with extra pockets (5.11) help.

[@skatman1837]

I agree so much with this, only carry what you will carry everyday. Only thing I will add is this thought. I do carry a flashlight everyday. Had to pickup paperwork inside County Courthouse yesterday, that flashlight was only thing I had left as a offensive/defensive tool because of security checkpoint. Something is better than nothing!

[@joeaardvark9214]

ok jason bourne hahaha

[@heeebeeegeeebeee]

Good perspective. For me it's pistol, POM, microstream, wallet, keys, phone. Everything else is optional.

Thx. Same same here. I agree that most is overkill. Much more important is that you are capable uf using the the tools you have instead of having them all. What's the bag. Looks functiona. Thx again Tim. Stay safe and sharp.

"Only gone for a couple of hours" sounds like Blackhawk down. Flashlight is a must. Doesn't have to be a big tactical one. A simple AAA flashlight can be a life saver. No reason not to have one in the bag at least.

May I suggest a SWAT-T instead of what looks like a RAT (painful). Also, an OC. In the Fed agency I retired from it was a lower level of force than hands on. I used it successfully a number of times &, although not perfect, it’s better than any other less than lethal.

[@prst99]

The flashlight is not only for night time. It is also for dark spaces like behind furniture or under a table. So you should always have one.

[@nmotionproductions29]

Agreed, I carry a small streamlight flashlight and use it every day. The second most used is a swiss army knife. Honestly I feel naked traveling without them. I really need to get comfortable with a pistol / holster choice as I haven't found the right combination that feels natural yet.

[@270ultimate]

What is the name of that “stabby” accessory you got there ?

Glock 19 with a Benchmade blade. Is my minimum EDC. My "get home bag" has the extras like my IFAK, Mags, batteries, light, life straw, FD food.. live in you can't get here from there WV so load out is different

[@wizkashifa]

I think you’re carrying a RATS tourniquet, would highly suggested switching to a CAT-T as they’re more widely recommended by EMS.

[@Niteshift36]

Completely agree.

[@stephenswem2541]

At a maximum! Small back pack (mystery ranch) with level 3a insert, pistol of choice with 2 extra mags, small bad guy spray and an IFAK! At a minimum, pistol of choice with one mag , flashlight And a tourniquet! Just depends on distance from home and visiting environment!

[@rogerjensen5277]

Bic lighter, water container (even if it's empty), emergency blanket (you may not need it for yourself but if someone else needs to get/stay warm), flashlight (underrated weapon), multi-tool and medical kit, the most complete one you can carry without it being in your way!

[@inspired4more]

Pretty similar. I like some reduncancy, so I have a tiny flashlight on my keychain, and a lighter, and a little telescoping pen that gets a surprising amount of usage. I keep a little cash tucked in my phone case, and a picture of my license saved on it (cops sometimes accept that if you forget your wallet). And I usually have a tiny multitool, which I use a lot. Then of course my pew and pocket knife. But between that, I have essentially 6 things to remember, and redundancies in case I forget or lose one. But all of that gets used; it's not just crap I carry for no reason.

[@wildyracing1]

Tim, you were actually one of the best MMA fighters on the planet at one point! Surely, you could not beat them all back in the day, but you could probably kill them all in a single combat even today. You can certainly outshoot and probably outknife everyone in the UFC, and in a combat between bare fists versus gun/knife, given the level of user ability is similar, the winner is obvious. That's what proper military training gives you - an edge which allow you to overcome everyone, if your life depends on it. Tim, I've followed you for many, many years and wish you all the best!

Thoughts of key fobs for keyless entry and push to start cars? In CA, they say put them in RFID sleeves or cookie tins and away from the house entry door or mininum 20ft from your car. Thieves with this antenna thingy, clone the fob and steal cars without the fob.

[@skim193]

"sheepdog response low viz"

[@thewhistlehasbeenblown]

Tim, why on earth do you carry a RATS TQ instead of a CAT TQ or a SOF-T TQ?

[@kanegallagher9533]

I would guess it’s the only thing that comes close to fitting a kid or small limbed person?

[@kanegallagher9533]

I was wondering same thing.

[@thewhistlehasbeenblown]

The RATS is the TQ that is the most likely to harm a kid or small limbed person, because of how thin it is, it has extremely high occlusion pressures, meaning it really "digs in" to the soft tissues causing them to be damaged. It's also very painful for the patient and is also much less effective in stopping bleeding as well. The SWAT-T would be a far better option than the RATS, as it's very wide, has lower occlusion pressures, and does not dig into or harm the soft tissues nearly as much. It's also much more effective at stopping the bleed. The SWAT T is even being used by Police forces all over the USA now as a TQ for canine limbs (police dog limbs) as their limbs are very thin and the SWAT T is very effective on small limbs. @@kanegallagher9533

[@FactFinderGeneral]

In my wallet I carry a spare key, small screw driver that is amall enough to adjust pistol/revolver sights and a shotgun choke tube wrench in a plastic hunting license carrying case. I don't carry much else other than a pocket comb and some change in another pants pocket. A cell phone but not in a pocket unless I'm going somewhere.
