What's in my EDC bag?

Brother, if you break down on the side of the road in winter, outside of cell service, and need to flag down help or walk to help, 90% of that is useless and you’re missing 90% of what you’ll need. Just think of a 2-3 hour (or whatever) walk along a road in winter and what you’d need, then pack that. Ditch the cordage, books, bushcraft knife and bandaids. Just think about it… walking along a cold road for 2-3 hours, with a possible injury: Ace compression bandage, gauze, tourniquet, blood stopper, splint, rain jacket, rain pants, stocking cap, neck buff, gaiters, wool socks, winter gloves, headlamp, pad and pencil, emergency blanket, $20, water bottle and energy bar. Done. Then keep a car repair kit in your car: tire repair kit, inflator, jumper battery, car marking (flairs etc), note pad and pencil, paper map, slip joint pliers, knee for nose pliers, two screw drivers, utility knife, zip ties, duct tape, work gloves. Your car-specific already included spare tire kit. Done.

I guess you didn't watch the video. I keep all my winter gear in my truck and water. And a tool kit in my truck. Like is said in the video, this is what I keep in my bag that I carry everyday. So you have all those items in your EDC? I carry cordage to make a shelter if I have to, knife to cut wood for a fire. And the book is so I have different ideas for building shelters depending on what's available.
