What’s in My Every Day Carry Wallet! Here is the one weird thing I always carry!

[@wandrousvindella716]

Crazy genius ! My EDC wallet is very similar. Usually never more than a $20 though. I have the navy issued can opener from a friend (1979) a nail file (1987) and a pair of folding scissors that have never been confiscated (1977) Reading glasses added (2019) I also have a thin tape measure my dad gave me. Now I need to add the one poop bag for the recently inherited 3 legged senior pup. And I love the idea of having a separate "throw at ya" wallet ! Hubby wants the travel chopsticks. KEEP THE TIPS COMING Gadget Girl !

[@TheoryofSimple]

Wanda, you really are my soul sister! Love it! Wish you could see the smile on my face! Someday will have to get a group of people together that think a life like this and to share all of our gadgets together! It’s funny because my kids used to call me Inspector gadget!

The P-38 Can Opener was issued to me in the military when I was assigned to the 2nd Armored Division. I carried mine for years and lost it. Never thought of checking on Amazon. Getting a few as little gifts for my Battle Buddies (close military friends…more like family.)

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yay! I am so happy you found them again! I just feel better having it. Not having it when I needed it was a painful experience!

[@marjiecleveland]

You’re not crazy! I also carry one in my EDC. I’m a veteran so it’s a P-38! Very useful!

Kitchen in a bag!?! Is there a video on this?? Love how prepared you are for anything and everything 😉

[@TheoryofSimple]

Well I haven’t done a specific video on kitchen in a bag but I do go over some of these items in my packing for a month in a carry-on video. I think I covered some of it in my pack for a week in a bag under your seat video. Maybe I should do a complete video on just my kitchen in a bag! That might be my next poll!

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

@@TheoryofSimple best kitchen in a bag in my opinion starts with a trangia cook set or a trangia burner small cross bar trivet and a stanly two cup cookset:) and of course a couple of small leak proof bottles of metholated spirits for the burner, pluss you can fill the trangia spirit burner and it wont leak. i also recoment a mini set of stainless steel tongs to control stuff while using the burner , snuff flame out etc and know how to use it and safty etc.

LMAO… I just moved into a new apartment and I wanted to thank friends for helping. We were having a taco dinner with all the sides. Got the can of black beans down , but, couldn’t find my can opener!

Ah, my mom would have loved you and your ever crafty, practical "think outside ALL THE BOXES" brain! 💯. Keep up the great work! Best wishes always, Lori

[@TheoryofSimple]

Oh my gosh Lori! that is the best compliment! I have learned to look at things differently for example a bag or purse is a vessel to hold things and it doesn’t matter what it’s holding if I want to use it as a packing cube or an electronics holder or whatever I just try to figure out what I can use it for besides what it intended purpose is! I wish I could’ve met your mom‘ I bet she and I could’ve had some fun putting together some of these EDC videos! Thanks again for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on all my videos! 🙂

[@colleenc5008]

Love this! You are a crazy genius lol. Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Of course you carry what you wished you'd had in the past, even a can opener. I don't need readers because I wear glasses, but that folding pair is genius. And I have that tiny little folding phone easel! It works great! I would love to see all of your multi tools, with functions and which ones you can take carry on. I enjoy all of your videos, and click on them as soon as they pop up in my subscription feed. Keep 'em coming!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you, Colleen! I will make a video on the multi tools I carry and which ones I use / carry & when!

[@karenhogue8443]

The can opener is pure genius! Many years ago a friend told us he always traveled with canned soup in his checked bags. He made trips to fairly remote locations and said many times he would just fill the bathroom sink with the hottest water he could manage to heat the can before opening it. I think I need to order these can openers myself and tuck them away just in case.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes! It’s such a small item that can replace a very large item and be very helpful so it’s just worth having a few of these around. I have one of those fancy can opener is that you turn it and it pops off the lid and I swear I have to take it three times around the can to get it off! This little canna but it works every time and I wouldn’t be without it!

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

ihave the mini like you have but im thinking to swap it out for the aussie ones with the small spoon on the back end.. seems i always wish i had a spoon when im out

Hi Jennifer! i’m so glad that you find my packing genius rather than crazy! I haven’t done an exact video on kitchen in a bag but I probably should. I do have some of that covered in a couple of other videos but it’s not specifically toward that. So that will be on my list of videos to do here in the next couple of months! thank you so much for noticing that and for the feedback!

Can you do a video of the multipurpose tools/items joy EDC that you cannot live without?

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes! I’m planning on doing a video in mid October on some of the things that I can’t live without as well as a video about some gifts that would be good for people who travel or like to put different things in their every day carry. With the holiday season coming up it’s always good to have some ideas on unique items that people may not have or any new gadgets!

Thank you so much! I was like you and I always carried a Swiss Army knife or some sort of multitool of the knife until you couldn’t do it anymore so now that’s why I carry a couple of different things and one of them has a removable blade, so that way I can still carry it with me while I’m traveling😊💕

[@ellenpapuga7469]

My dad always carried one of those little can-openers on his key ring his whole life. He learned that in the Navy. I don't know why I never picked one up. I guess I thought it was a guy thing but I'm gonna get me one!

You are absolutely correct those things like my nail file and the can opener could technically be used for a self-defense item. Since I carry a tiny little lighter on my keychain I don’t carry any matches but heck they’re small enough I might just stick a couple in there!

Been there done that. Your multi tool or a screw driver works in a pinch. Just need a to tap the top of the handle hard enough to punch into the lid working around the lid. It just takes more work. I grew up with that can opener. I missed it when in lost mine. You are smart to carry it with you.

Hi Elys! First of all thank you so much for watching and commenting. All of the items that you see in the video are listed in the video description with links. There are a couple of items that are not exactly what I have here for example the wallet. My wallet is old and they don’t make it anymore so the coach wallet that I have there is going to be my next purchase when this one wears out! There’s also a link to the Amazon store front that I have that has many more every day carry items that you can browse through and see what works for you. I think some of this does come from my mother and she lived during the war and her purse was always very prepared with so many different things. I think that they were always running around and trying to carry whatever they could on their backs to survive and that transferred to me!

And I look at it like insurance you don’t wanna have it but you have it just in case! I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos and I look forward to your feedback on all of them!

Genius! But don’t American cans have ring pulls on them? Almost all of ours do.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Not every canned has ting pulls on it. As a matter fact, most cans don’t. But this way I also don’t have to worry about that ring breaking off and then I can’t get into the can.😂🤣😊❤️

[@JehanineMelmoth]

@@TheoryofSimple that's a very good point! Here in the UK, all except the very cheapest tins have ring pulls - but you're right, they do break off sometimes!

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@JehanineMelmoth yes! And it is so frustrating when that happens! This is my back ip plan😊🙏

Can opener is genius! I like to err on the side of prepared. We got stranded an hour away from home on a Saturday night. We made it to safety by depending on the kindness of strangers. I'm so thankful for them but life would have been a little easier if we had been prepared with at least a phone charger and a toothbrush! Now I keep a back pack with supplies in my car just in case!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Exactly!! You just never know when something‘s gonna happen that it’s going to leave you stranded and uncomfortable. And although you can’t prepare for everything I try to prepare for things depending on how far away from my home I’m gonna be. Anything more than an hour from my home I pack not only my EDC purse but another bag that has several things in it and I’ll have to do a video on that too! One time I was coming home from Tahoe and what should’ve been a simple 3 hour trip turned into a nightmare of being stranded on Highway 50 for eight hours! In the middle of a snowstorm! And after living in Lake Tahoe for two years and being a volunteer ranger for the US forest service I have found that I just need to be prepared for about anything! thank you so much for watching and commenting and I would look forward to your feedback on other videos!

[@andreabeth]

@@TheoryofSimple oh wow that does sound crazy! The snow gets so deep there. Live and learn!!

[@volvoqueen9698]

I can totally play your game but I overdo it ! my backpack is filled with 100 lbs of tiny necessary items. Always removing them to repack with less. I could stay overnight for two people with one backpack. Clean underwear, tooth brush...

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@volvoqueen9698 lol! I completely understand! We could probably prepare for every possible scenario and still not be prepared enough! For the longest time I carried powdered packaged baby formula in my purse because one time I was trapped in a flight because of a snowstorm and a baby was crying so badly and all I wanted to do was have some formula for that baby! I finally gave that up but it probably just got replaced with some other thing that I thought I could do to help prevent some sort of suffering!

NEVER use the coffee maker in hotels....why? I used to work at a big Native Casino and the room stewards told me the HORROR stories of what guests did to them. From using them as sick containers and even URINALS...yeah, unless you're carrying your own hotpot, please don't use the coffee pots...just some good advice, not an order.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@NothingToNoOneInParticular 100% agree with you! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve opened up a coffee pot and it’s had mold or something in it and I just don’t trust them so if I’m gonna be away for a while, I always bring my own little pot pot🙏💕😊

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

this is great .. my old purse/wallet thingy is amost clutch purse size? its about 22cm long 8 cm tall and 3.5 cm thick and for the life of my i cant replace it. please add the mini glow sticks to your wallet they are tiny .. two would be the size of that dental brushpic. More compact dental pic brand is picksters:) glowstick brand is ocean sun light stick 4.5cm x 3mm each stick size. 5 pack:)

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

ps.the lense addition is great, i carry that too and the can opener, one folding card knife and a neck knife with a microcord neck tie, lock pic set needle dental floss a ten mtrs of micro cord hank a mini firesteel thin from a magnesium block with steel kit, ( lock picks strike it well ) and some waxed cotton ball in a zip lock bag in one of the card slots also gorrila tape mounted on a card and duct tape on a card for fire starting or any other tape uses ..tiniest zip ties you ever saw as once i busted the pull tag on my jeans lol it fit thru what was left of the zipper pull n stoped my fly comming down non stop. im mad mad keen on the glowsticks in the purse as i got stuck in a mall in a power outage and its not fun at all! Im in Australia and rural so my car has the best set up and i never have to park far from the shop im going into ( spoilt i know ) so i dont do handbags ..just my keys phone and what u guys call a wallet we call a purse here. Not that i want shtf to happen but when it does, if i am unfortunate enough to be around pple, i hope at least one of them is like you or me:)

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

ps i forgot to add i carry a mini bic lighter with a fishing swivel, latch hook attatched thru the metal part at the front to thread thru the neck tie if stuff ever got serious. andyeah its in the good old purse too

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

@@TheoryofSimple ps i forgot to add my glowsticks are 30 m visibility ..there are some out there same brand and siz only 15m visibility. night one its good enough to see the inside of my bathroom ( just enough to not bump into stuff and or read close up holding it to read stuff ) night two its more of a place marker still glows n still can read. after that its junk.or faint place marker in the dark. reason i like them despite one time use is no battery, even after an emp u will have light :P and you cant get more waterproof than a fishing bobber :P

@@TheoryofSimple we travel frequently and some hotels/suites are woefully undersupplied

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@pielcanela365 Right! I don’t know if it’s just been since the pandemic but there are nothing in the hotel rooms. Especially the ones that are efficiencies or our apartment like hotel rooms I was expecting to at least have plates cups and silverware. I didn’t even have paper plates or paper bowls or any silverware or even plastic silverware. And I hate going to the store and having to buy a whole stack of plates our whole stack of bowls our whole box of silverware and have to leave it there. So now I think like a backpacker when I’m traveling!
