An alternative to the full size glow stick is a number of small fishing glow sticks. I would recommend getting the 4.0mm diameter sticks instead of the 4.5mm as the 4.5mm ones simply have more plastic around the same amount of glow material, causing them to be dimmer/cloudy than the 4.0mm size. I keep mine in either a small baggie packs of 5 or I attach them in a chain using a strip of duct tape folded over just the tip. This allows me to keep a strip of small glow sticks organized and accessible in my pack. Just pull one off of the strip and break it thoroughly. They take a little more work to break the vial thoroughly and they last a shorter amount of time, but they are remarkably bright for 1-3 hours and I can carry dozens while taking up less space/weight. They are also drastically cheaper than the liquid vial glow sticks. I see them being used as disposable markers/beacons or a small light source. They can be purchased on Temu, EBay, etc. $5 for a pack of 100 is hard to beat. Pro tip: if you want them to last all night or a few nights, just make one crack in the inner solid powder vial. As the reaction works its way through the powder, it will last drastically longer, but not be as bright.

[@rodgreene2687]

@@AlexWanderAlso, a yellow reflective vest allows you to blend in or take charge.The pen in my Nutsack is also a weapon. A whistle and safety glasses might be useful. Pro-Tip: Only buy Cyalume brand snap lights and keep them in their mylar packaging so as to keep the light sensitive chemicals from degradation!

[@bravotwozero535]

That is a well thought out pack. You make a good point about being able to hop a fence and I’m definitely adding tourniquet, burn gel, and cut proof gloves to my EDC.

[@AlexWander]

[@ivanapollonio4067]

I carry pretty much the same stuff, but i prefer to keep the most critical items on my body. The pdp in in my waistband, the multitool (i go for a swiss knife in urban environments), the flashlight and lighter are in my pockets. Medical stuff, power bank, and i also usually carry extra batteries for the flashlight, some water and some food, will be in my pack, so if they are stolen or lost, i still have my first emergency line. Another useful thing i do is keep a 20, a 10 and a 5€ on me. You could always find a shop with the basics and buy something, in Italy 35€ if used wisely will have you covered for a couple days

[@DerSlash]

I think your thoughts are right. For me, an urban survival kit and a get home bag are the same thing. It's about getting home as fast and as well as possible, where safety awaits in most conceivable SHTF scenarios. I'm currently using the TT Essential 15l daypack, but will consider downsizing to a smaller bag. Thanks for introducing your thoughtfully planned kit. If space allows, I would add a foldable 300ml Hydrapak, a mini water filter and something edible like an energy bar or a 10g bag of gummy bears to the kit, to provide some energy in an emergency.

[@bernardbarr2354]

Very thought provoking. Cheers again mate. That's a pretty smart kit. Just ensure the torch has the strobe capability to blind people when your trying to escape. In SHTF scenarios, it's about getting out of the city. Which is why I don't live in the city.

[@AlexWander]

We are lucky to don't live in the city right? Strobe option is definitely important! Thanks man! Truly appreciated!!!

[@vonsprague7913]

I have two packs that sit in different vehicles. The 18l Tasmanian Tiger essentials pack and the 5.11 MOAB 10. I believe you should carry a poncho, water container, lighter, water purifier, compass and a multi tool as a minimum. I totally agree that a pack is a liability but not having essential kit is far more so. I would also suggest forgetting the grey man principle, simply having a bag will make you a target. Use stealth, avoid crowds wherever possible and be prepared to lie up for some time whilst a situation resolves itself or whilst waiting for darkness. If you cannot move quickly and clear obstacles you will not do well. Be prepared to present a credible threat to predators encouraging them to seek a softer target. I like your philosophy and your presentation style very much and look forward to more content. Stay safe Alex.

I've been carrying my urban gear inside a 5.11 Banger 2 for two years now. It does have a tactical look but it's black so it doesn't stand out too much. Inside I have quite a few medical items, a flashlight, a pepper spray, and some small tools in a tin can. I like the outer molle webbing that allows for some customization. Great video Alex 👍🏻

[@AlexWander]

Definitely a neat kit man! Thanks for sharing!!🔥

[@Mike-kr9ys]

A great video! As I see in the comments, it made us think about your scenario, and then consider what we would need to accomplish the mission. I agree with you - I would trade more gear/slower travel for less gear/faster travel every time. The only thing(s) I would add to your list of items is a silcock key (sp?), a collapsible 1 liter water bag, and a few water treatment tabs. To my kit, I will take your advice and add some burn treatment items, and also something to wash out my eyes, in case I wind up downwind of the wrong place at the wrong time. Thanks for a great video. Stay safe out there.

Another great video my friend! I was going to suggest adding a bandana to your kit, but I guess you EDC a neck scarf on your person. I have heard of EDC packs that have portable trip alarms that you can setup should you need to get your head down in an abandon building or the likes, but I've seen many of your videos and know you'd utilise your surroundings with things like stones or broken glass etc on floor surfaces to alert you of intruders. Personally I need a larger bag for urban EDC and am currently transitioning from the Vertx Readypack 3.0 to the Roaring Fire Waxed Canvas backpack. It's a little similar to the Nutsac products in its looks and a smart looking but practical pack.

[@AlexWander]

Thanks so much! Yes I tend to carry a dark brown sheaf that doesn’t scream tactical 🤙🏻 Never heard about pack with portable tripwire alarms , could you share some brand’s name please?

[@achillederriey1455]

What about water ? Maybe a lifestraw or a collapsible bottle with purification tabs ?

[@monlonlabe5016]

you are right. If possible a way to adress water pollution (ex even if it is rain water it may be polluted)

[@AlexWander]

I tend to carry a Gray a ultrapress as a edc bottle , you are not the only one who told me about collapsible bottles and I’m thinking to add one to the kit! Another extreme option would be to transform the classic small plastic bottle in collapsible ones in case we don’t have a proper one , classic small plastic bottle are made now with less plastic so you can compress them very well even if I know they won’t last longer 🙏🏻

[@AdventureswithMud]

Where is your water? Are you carrying a water bottle separately in your hand? If so what are you doing with it while you jump a fence or get in a scuffle/get knocked to the ground? Try running, climbing and dealing with adrenaline dumps for an hour and see how quickly you become thirsty. Now add to that breathing in toxic smoke and/dust from a collapsed or bruning building while doing it. Water is the key item in good decision making where your in an environment of high physical and emotional stress. A lot of tier 1 guys have used small go bags with just water, that's how important it is. Also no space blanket? That's great you can stop the bleed with a TQ but then you get hypothermic from cutting clothing clear / being wet from bleeding and being in shock while waiting for medical help. How about a paper map of the local area, it may be important for planning a new route when you find out an area has been locked down or is on fire, has rioting ect. Or just for talking to someone and then being able to meet up on a specific street or explain where you are to coordinate a pick up. Smart phone as map is for a best case scenario not a worst case one. A dust mask may also be important in a disaster as history has shown many times. A carabiner clipped to your gear always looks cool in videos and IG pics but that also draws attention. Normal people don't carry those. And if its for protection then you need to be able to take the time (uninterrupted) to unclip it. It cant just go in your pocket? Same with a tactical flashlight... isnt that a lot better in your pocket than in a bag? Lastly those gloves are nice and compact but will melt if used to handle hot smouldering debris or anything to do with fire which covers a lot of things really. Forgot to say just my opinions, good concept in this video though.

[@AlexWander]

I tend to carry a GRAYL ultrapress attached with a carabiner to the sling on in my jacket , plus I carry a silkcock key in my edc pouch that always stays in my pants to reach public water 🙏🏻

[@driver3899]

@@AlexWander Ah that makes more sense now, good choice with the Grayl

[@TheMacbu]

I have a similar equipment, but without pepper spray and less first aid (no burn gel for example). I would add a space blanket. It's so versatile, saves you and others from heat, cold, you can signal with it etc. I also have a HAD tube scarf (an original one), because you can use it for so many things and it takes no space.

Hey there! Thank you! I will definitely make a video about lockpicking soon, I‘m going to also share some good kits available on the market! 🙏🏻

[@michaelschweimler7292]

Very well done,this is a very good thougt out kit. To much is too much and too little is not enough.. To have some basic edc on your body is the most import thing one should have.. As for a regular pack i like to have a somewhat more complete set near me. I prefer a small backpack to have my hands free to run without a bag flopping around my body. I keep that under 20 lbs, fully loaded, with some water and food and that pack doubles as a get home bag and would be halfbad as a basic bug out bag and would also work well for an unexpected overnight in a hotel. I take that only with when i go for a longer trip and usually i do not carry it around and leave it in the car or Hotel etc. But as much as i want o have this backpack with me in reality a small shoulder bag with a few items is what i carry most times when exploring the places/ citys while travelling or walking around in my hometown. I always keep a good amount of stuff in my car and an empty backpack too. But this what you show is a very good extended edc kit to have with if you do not want to carry that pack and your car is parked a couple miles away.. Or for a person travelling by bus or train etc. that is already carrying his normal regular travel Gear/ suitcase . Most packs you see are pretty set for use when riding in a car someplace, but here in Europe people tend to travel a lot more in trains , busses and walk away from their cars further distances than most folks in the US. One thing- outside my hometown I would like to always have some water purification like a lifestraw or similar with me. As for the multitool i came to the point where i prefer a regular Swiss Army knife ( or regular multitool) plus a pair of small, pointed combination pliers with wire cutting ability and insulated handles. Especially for urban use where electricity and cables are present. And always carry spare prescription glases. An M95 mask could be added too. Besides that mask, a water purifier and a mylar blanket, one might have an cheap emergency poncho in the bag even if he is wearing multifunctional cloth . These four items are super light and and take very little room. Just suggestions ..🙂 Any way I appreciate videos that cover the urban aspect of prepeardness. The majority of people spend only a fraction of their live outdoors and the most will not leave the citys in a crisis for the unreal idea of surviving in the woods. Still the majority of bags and packs that are shown are heavy loaded with outdoor equipment. The only case for here in Germany and comparable countries around would be to be able to spent a night or two outdoors in a get home situation without freezing to death. And even that is pretty unlikely as most parts are so urbanized that it is very easy to get to and find some sort of building to shelter in .

[@AlexWander]

I couldn’t agree with you more with all that said! And living off the land without getting back to urbanized areas from time to time is a huge myth! Maybe the 3% of the worldwide population could be able to live in nature their entire existence , for two reason: first we would need lots of knowledge second nature offer way less than what was available before the 800! Less edible plants less animals etc etc , that’s why I want to be as realistic as possible as possible! Thanks you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts I really appreciated it!

[@CzechSixTv]

If you have a concern about being searched by authorities while carrying a backpack in an emergency, I'd extend that concern to just about any bag short of a woman with a purse. Other than the pepper spray gun, which I'll admit I don't know the laws in your area, there doesn't appear to be anything remotely illegal or controversial in the small bag to get you in trouble. That same principal can easily be extended to a larger day pack. As you said, "bugging in" is usually the best option and could very well mean sheltering at your place of work until things calm down. A day pack will allow you to have food, spare clothes, personal hygiene products and comfort items handy that would never fit in your small bag. It would also allow you to carry extra PPE such as dust masks(think 9/11) and work gloves.

[@TarrickChristensen]

Hunkering down is always smartest, agreed. Though I have children that I would have to get to as fast as possible. A small kit like that is all I'll need for a few days if need be bar a bottle or pot for sterilizing water or survival straw.

Since we are talking about going low profile, I would probably switch to different pepper spray - one that does not look like a pistol. There might be situation where you are unsure whether or not to take it out, and in such cases, you can walk around with cylindrical can in hand no problem. Pistol shaped object, even if not actually a pistol, can needlessly escalate the situation. And of course there is law enforcement - you are seen with some nondescript can - no biggie, but if they see something looking like a firearm, they are going to use the real ones in response.

[@monlonlabe5016]

in a survival situation obviously you will get an adrenaline strike so you WILL get thisty and tired after the adrenaline kick. Of course in cities the chances for water to be polluted means I would rather take a filter with chemical capabilities like the OKO 500ml bootle or the same from other brands. It allow me to have and to procure water. And some enregy bars to replenish myself after a run from the problem area. Aslo you never know when it may happens so a way to protect your from the elements, a mylar or a plastic sheet in case you need to take some rest.

Abbastanza comodo da shiftare dal retro al davanti, ma risulta talvolta scomodo da indossare o sfilare soprattutto quando si indossano giubbotti con cappuccio o indumenti ingombranti con altrettanti lacci o appigli che possono ostacolare le movimentazioni.

[@AlexWander]

Ciao Teo! Sono i pro e contro di portare un qualcosa a tracolla , si impigliano spesso!

[@marctlm3636]

Water purification tablets or Grayl Mylar blanket

[@lonewolfoutdoors4606]

€170 for the pack is way to much for me but it looks very nice. Do you like the Rhino rescue stuff? Wanting to upgrade my medical.

[@AlexWander]

There are so many cheaper alternatives on the market lately for the bag, it’s important to find one that fits your need and it last long.🤙🏻 Rhino Rescue stuff works well , without breaking the bank 🤙🏻

[@myname-mz3lo]

add some decontamination wipes in case of tear gas etc

[@AlexWander]

What a good advice!!! Thanks for sharing! 🫡🤙🏻

[@myname-mz3lo]

@@AlexWander thank you for the great content man. Could you do a video on where to camp if you are stuck in a city all night? I'm near Paris and sometimes I miss the last train to my town because of protests etc. and have to go around Paris all night while there is protests etc.

[@AlexWander]

@myname-mz3lo interesting idea, let me see If I can be useful, thanks for the suggestion! Truly appreciated!👍

[@Mick-c6l]

I like your style sir

[@AlexWander]

Thank you!🙏🏻

Ciao, come te la cavi col divieto di porto di coltelli e multitool? Un consiglio: potresti aggiungere una bandana, costa 2euro nei negozi cinesi e può essere molto utile! Ce ne sono un sacco di video sui vari modi d'uso della bandana

[@AlexWander]

Purtroppo con il divieto non ci puoi far nulla 🤷‍♂️ lo porti a tuo rischio e pericolo 🙏🏻 Grazie per il consiglio sulla bandana!!!

[@micthize]

Ciao bel video, nella descrizione non ho trovato la pistola al peperoncino, posso chiederti che modello è? Grazie mille

[@AlexWander]

Grazie mille! È una Walter PDP purtroppo sembra che le ricariche stiano diventando difficili da trovare 🤷‍♂️

[@micthize]

@@AlexWander grazie comunque per la dritta 🤞🤚

[@AlexWander]

@micthize È un piacere poter essere di aiuto!🙏🏻

[@cameronalexander359]

Just an fyi, I wasn't notified of your latest vid

[@AlexWander]

Don't know why, thanks for the heads up!

[@freedomtowander]

It’s pretty perfect

[@AlexWander]

Truly honored thanks!🙏🏻

[@CanadaFree-ce9jn]

You have gloves, but might want to look into cut resistant gloves for things like glass and sharp metal flashing that might be around windows you have to go though.

[@AlexWander]

My gloves are cut resistant , not at the highest levels but they protect you quite a bit, I will definitely look for something better, thanks for sharing!🙏🏻

[@KirkBaumgardner]

Yeah put body armor hard steel plates or soft body armor level 3A Plus or level 4 in the book bag

[@AlexWander]

That's a good idea! I will loook into it! thanks for sharing!🔥

[@ulperformance4087]

Collapsable water container, water purification tabs or filter, electrolyte, weather clothing, spare shirt and socks, head lamp?, fish kit?, silicone collapasable cup - 500 deg. F, coffee/tea, sweetener? and energy bars.

[@AlexWander]

Thanks for sharing!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@BearClawAK47]

All fine for a larger backpack. Most of those items are going to impractical in a small pack and probably not needed for an urban setting. Most people don't carry electrolytes on a day to day basis and move around town day after day. I noticed that he had a Grayl water filter on the table. I believe he has it strapped to the bottom of his fanny pack in another video. This negates the need to carry tabs, additional filters. and a collapsable water bag. Keep in mind his setup is for urban and not back country E&E. You would probably won't get a chance to fish down town or at the mall.

[@AlexWander]

@@BearClawAK47 yep! 🫡🤙🏻🏴‍☠️

[@informedcitizen8687]

I dont know if it's legal in Europe, but if you are able to obtain a can of bear spray, it would IMO be a better self-defense option compared to the pepper spray pistol you are carrying now. The bear spray disperses it contents over a wider and greater distance and could potentially keep a large group of people at bay, enabling you to escape.

[@AlexWander]

I need to find out if it can be carried around in the city, good point, thanks!!!🤙🏻

[@pierren2960]

I keep seeing Rhino Rescue ads on Facebook and Instagram. Are their products any good and reliable? Where is the company from?

[@AlexWander]

They are a chineee company , I’ve tested some o their product and I’m satisfied for now, I’m gonna need more time and do more test before I can have a final opinion 🙏🏻

[@karl2851]

Haha nutsac...still makes me laugh.

[@AlexWander]

Same here 😁😁😁😁

[@daniels4338]

Holy hell, 159 doll hairs for a canvas fanny pack?

[@mk18895]

Small pliers, small scissors, power bank and cable,big spoon, Opinel 7 knife, flashlight, All this in special organizer I have a small backpack almost always because of my laptop. Pen, small notebook, folding knife on me. I pay by cash not by credit card. Water bottle and thermos mug for coffee

[@AlexWander]

Love Opinel 7!!!!! Thanks for sharing, we well thought out kit!

[@KirkBaumgardner]

What you can do is put an R 500 hardened steel plate in the book bag and put it in front of you or behind you or you can get soft body armor and do that assuming you can get body armor in the mail I mean you can have just about anything else I don't know how it is over in Italy but and y'all can't have guns you know what I mean but like we do here in America we can kind of order those things mostly not the whole gun things but some parts

[@AlexWander]

This is a good advice, thanks for sharing! i think we can get an armor plate but the gun market is very limited even for the things bought online and shipped 🤷🏻 Thanks for sharing!

[@wethermon]

It's important to have maps of our city/country in paper. Regarding backpacks I avoid any tactical looking ones. People in panic will flock to anyone who they think can provide help. Tactical stuff is often associated to military and security. In a SHTF situation we must go from point A to Point B and having people asking for help will not be a good thing imo.

[@AlexWander]

Maps are definitely a Must have and I couldn’t agree with you more on the rest!🔥

[@Dantick09]

I would leave the chem light, battery pack and rfid bag in the backpack

[@AlexWander]

Interesting point of view 🙏🏻

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

If you decide that you want to get yourself an actual pack rather than a sling bag in addition to having a relatively small pack you also would want to make sure that it has buckles on the shoulder straps so that heaven forbid if someone does grab a hold of your pack you can unbuckle at least one of the straps and slip out of the pack either to run or to fight.

[@AlexWander]

That’s a great point ! Do you have any backpack in mind with that feature? Thanks for sharing!

[@hiramhaji7813]

Wax canvas is king. Non military appearances More rugged than any other materials. Water resistant/ some are water proof…

[@AlexWander]

You’re definitely right brother 🔥

[@trooperjinthewoods4538]

My opinion is to carry everything that a soldier carries only to go heavy on the food and clean water ability and capacity. Or at least carry what a hiker would carry for a minimum of a week.

[@AlexWander]

Good point, I will have all of that once I reach my GHB 🤙🏻

[@A_deKerdavid]

As a boy I fight against myself to become more and more low profile... trying not to carry military look-like equipments. If one day I finally wear camo suits with a plenty chest-rig, it should be that a real civil war has began and that I joint a french patriot militia !!! 😅

[@AlexWander]

😁 I truly hope it won't be necessary!🙏

[@dougspizman6751]

You can walk out of any major city in the world in about 5 hours or less. So good shoes, a good belt, charged phone, a bottle of water and a couple hundred in cash.

[@AlexWander]

I agree!!!
