Whats In My EDC Kit

[@GreyManPrepping]

What type of EDC kit do you carry? Are you a minimalist or pack as much as you can in a bag kind of person? Bag in Video: amzn.to/3OxAuAN *Before you leave a comment, please look through my other videos on my channel as it may answer your question(s). As this EDC kit is built for me and my environment. God bless and stay safe folks!

[@r.tomrobison8307]

I would carry kit for hunting primarily. It had what I would need for most. Mostly I had what I would everyday in my pockets. But now I'm working on an edc for a wheelchair. I also see you are a first responder. I was in law enforcement for 30 years. An EMT. As I'm in a wheelchair many you had I can still use plus other things for my situation. I think what people need to know that your kit good but that is for you. So I watch a lot of edc videos to get ideas that will work for me.

[@GreyManPrepping]

​@@r.tomrobison8307You are absolutely right! This video is to spark ideas and get others to ponder what gear should they carry for EDC. This is my EDC setup for my needs and environment. 😁👍

[@EarthHeartUK]

I put together one bag for each member of my family in a regular backpack. They have a walkie talkie/flash light/radio, head lamp and batteries, mylar blanket, tiny first aid, knife, towel, gloves, toiletries, coverall, facemasks, wipes and that's about it. My family don't seem interested in prepping or the bag but they know where they are. I keep first aid items in the kitchen that is more comprehensive. I know some basic first aid and CPR as does my husband. I added a bag for my basement that has tools. Down there is a butane camping stove, water food.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Well, at least the bags are there if an emergency presents itself, and then they'll realize how important they are. Have a wonderful weekend! 😁👍

[@sheilagaleano365]

I love how everything fits so well in an economical space... and can be readily seen. One definite addition in mine is a headlamp. Deletions from yours would be the things i don't know how or when or why to use....a pick would be one example for me. Thank you : )

[@GreyManPrepping]

@sheilagaleano365 Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! 😊🙏

[@regib422]

My edc is a mom bag and I still find it funny that I carried a lot of these things long before I started learning proper prepping. Kids are often their own kind of emergency situation. Lol Pedialyte is still my go to for fast hydration boosts. I've saved myself and others many times with how hot it gets where I live here in the south. Thank you so much for this video. It definitely showed me some holes I need to fill for more outdoor scenarios.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you, and I'm glad you found some helpful ideas in this video. 😊

[@AllisonSherman01]

Hi Grey. I have been working on my bags….bug out and EDC. I am turning my ‘purse’ into an EDC. It’s a sling back bag. I have been picking up ideas from a lot of you. It’s more minimal than my bug out, but still contains important items in the name of survival. Thanks for your input. I have heard a lot of ppl including some gorilla tape. I have added a whistle, pepper spray, wipes, lighters, hydro, emergency blanket and still working on it. All the best!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Sounds great! Keep up the great work! 😊👍

[@ericarnaud7983]

Morning Grey. In my truck I do carry a "MacGyver" kit along with my get home bag, IFAC and all my everyday carry. I do have a small edc bag that also has many smaller tools and equipment I have found I need quite a few times a week. A bag is a bag, unless you put a strap on it, it is now a purse. Put a belt on it, it is now a fanny pack. Carry it, it is now a clutch. Oh well, lable man in front of it and it becomes acceptable to carry. 😜

[@GreyManPrepping]

Roger that 🤣 My wife always says don't forget your man purse lol. all in good fun, though.

[@MildredEasyHomesteader]

Hubby loves the kit! he is really into expanding his EDC as you gentleman call it and found this to be exactly what he was looking for. So he said to let ya know he said thank you! ☺

[@GreyManPrepping]

Very cool, tell I said thank you as well, and blessings to you both! 🙏

[@JT-2012]

Lol, other than you having more knives & medical, our kits are very similar. Of course, I don't have the medical knowledge you have. Mine has quite a bit of cash, just in case, and even some silver. I carry a pocket sized New Testament and extra hair ties, which can do more than just tie up hair. Have a blessed weekend, Grey & Grey family.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Funny enough, I have a few hair ties holding the straps in place, lol 😆 I do keep a stash of silver & cash in my GHB but it's definitely an idea to add a little bit to the EDC bag as well. 😁 Have a great weekend, JT! 🙏💛

[@Scarywoody]

I would suggest adding some Leukotape. It's like a very aggressive Bandaid material that works to either cover a blister or prevent them. Goes on wet skin as well. If you are walking I find it a must have.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Great suggestion! Adding this to my cart now. Thank you 😁👍

[@imklix]

Video starts : “…seatbelt cutter…” HOW HAVE I NOT THOUGHT OF THIS! 😂 Immediately added one to my Amazon basket, I came here for some inspiration and I’m only 😂2 minutes in haha

[@GreyManPrepping]

🤣 well, I hope yoi found the rest of the video helpful, lol

[@francism9782]

A very well thought out kit. The only thing I'd recommend is to consider substituting a small pry bar in place of one of those big folding knives. Where i work, spigots are frequently secured behind small locked doors. One could easily ruin a knife by using it as an impromptu pry bar.

[@GreyManPrepping]

That's actually a really great idea! Thank you 😁👍

[@SilverMoonGardens]

Oh gosh...I carry tons of stuff. Kits inside of kits. Im a Door Dasher. I live in my vehicle pretty much. My EDC has saved me soooooo many times!

🤣 Great minds think alike, lol, and yes, in that profession, I would definitely have multiple options. I'm so glad to hear that you're prepped! Stay safe! 😊🙏

Fixed Blade Knife ALWAYS lives in all my packs. Usually a Strongarm or Prodigy due to being made in the USA as well as Gerber providing a first responder discount. Many videos online on these knives.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@garyclare8066]

One of the things I've been adding to all my bags is some chem lights. Seems like a dumb idea, but sometimes you might want a sacrificial light sourse to draw attention to something. Could be an injured party in the dark, or a car accident on a bad corner. Having a light source which doesn't take batteries and can just be used and dropped has its advantages. Plus they're pretty cheap, I got 10 red chem lights for £10, fairly certain they'd be a similar price if not less in the US. Couple in each bag, couple in the car, and a couple in the house in case of power interruption, can save on wasted battery use. I also keep something similar to your neck gator in my back pocket, once folded up I put in a bunch of hair ties, and a face mask from covid times. No matter what you feel of covid, those masks are now a socially accepted way to conceal your identity in urban environments. Authorities might question a camo gator, but a blue style medical mask, "oh I've got a cold, trying not to pass it to anyone else".

[@GreyManPrepping]

Some really great suggestions! Thank you for sharing! 😁🙏 I do carry chemlights as well. I have white, green, red, and infared, mostly in my get home bag, bug out kit, and vehicle storage area. IR lights are for my NVG gear.

Absolutely EDC is truly different for everyone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. 👍

[@adamsabo704]

You sir must have been a master at Tetris. That small bag acted like a clown car. I have get home bags that are five times the size and dont believe I fit in as much as you did. I will be looking into the CANA pack and 4 panel solar charger. I bought the single panel chargers for my bags to save space but it doesn't appear to be that much bigger. Great video and good content. Additionally, thanks for the helpful diabetic tip on the propell.

[@GreyManPrepping]

My wife said the same thing 😆 I've been working on cutting back weight and size for a couple of years now. I do have a few full-size get home bags in each vehicle as well. But I figured I'd like to have a robust EDC bag as a redundancy. If you can't find something, please feel free to reach out. Have a great weekend! 😁

My EDC is my GHB. I carry first aid, knife,cordage,compass,flashlight,hat,bugnet,radio,fire kit,mylar blanket,rain gear,water bottle. It goes everywhere with me in town and up to two towns away. It even goes into Walmart with me.Anyfarther away I add a small bedroll,tarp set up.

[@GreyManPrepping]

One of these days, I should go over my truck/ghb kit. It's much more comprehensive than this small EDC bag. I've tried to explain to some folks that my GHB is EDC as it's with me everywhere I go, but the EDC gurus say otherwise 🤣 But I think you & I are on the same page. Thanks for watching, and have a great day!

[@oldmanpreparedness131]

Love the size and gear you have assembled in it! Brother I guarantee your gonna get some really dumb comments! 😂 Like this is not EDC cause people just don't get it the idea of EDC or how to expand upon it or you'll get the flip side where people haven't watched your previous content going over medical, get home bags and so on. The smart folks will get it and understand it and take something away from it. Like I read about the whole Grey man patch thing and I as just dumbfounded. Many of those individuals will not make it in a true SHTF my friend. Anyways this was truly informative and helpful in several ways. Thank you for sharing and the work you put into your channel! Godspeed Grey 🙏

Brother I couldn't agree more, I'd love to see some of these "Keyboard Warriors" put out content.

I run an adapter system for using my power that is cheap and light weight and have a 2.5 volt battery phone charger as back up. your should look up worlds smallest phone charger.

[@dianatoo940]

I guess I think of EDC as more like what can I carry on my person, no bag or kit. It's a bare bones you're in a situation with nothing but whatever is on your body. Next level for me would be something like what you have minus the technology pieces (except cell phone charger) and less combat type medical supplies. Stuff that I carry in my shoulder bag with my wallet and first aid medical. Next level for me is bug out/get home bag and finally not coming home bag with lots of stuff for maybe weeks on the road. Have to revise it. It's too heavy if have to be on foot.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Most folks look at EDC in several ways since my shoulder bag is with me everywhere I go. I consider it EDC. I pack it thinking, what if I can get to my truck with my get home bag. Over the years, I've reduced the weight of my bags dramatically as I'm not getting any younger, lol 😆 Have my GHB down to 14lbs my INCH bag down to abt 29lbs. Compared to my Ruck in the Army, which was around 75-80 lbs. So much more manageable at these weights. Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend! 😁

[@StacieKubick]

I’m impressed. I just bought a big bag now I see I need a small bag. lol. I want a stethoscope in all my bags. Amazon has some cheap ones for $9.99. I have some training prior first responder but I am still very limited.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Any training is truly better than no training. Bigger bags are great for other scenarios.

Have a great night! ☺️🙏

[@jack.charlesc4750]

Good kit for sure but it leans more to bob or go bag than edc my edc is light this bag would stay in my vehicule because i want empty room in my bag for water, magazines, or clothes or for small lacking groceries half or 75% of your bag would stay in my car and definitly watching yours reminds me that i must add somme few things too thanks mate for those ideas and the cana kit looks awesome

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And yes, the EDC bag is overkill, lol. Unfortunately, that's how I do most things 😅 My GHB kit in my truck is a bit different as it has space to add things. This kit I'm showing here is a "what if" I couldn't get to my main bag. I used to go mini with my EDC kit until my brother's best friend lost his life in a store shooting 4 years ago on vacation. If he only had the tools, it would have ended differently. Now my brother and I roll heavy with gear everywhere we go. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video.

I am confused by the greyman prepping patch. I thought greyman was about blending in, being unsuspicious. The patch advertises you got some useful stuff in your pack that may be worth a bullet when shtf.

[@GreyManPrepping]

The greyman concept for me is situational. Were I live and places I frequent are filled with folks that myself and family have known for generations. Everyone is armed, ready, and geared up in this small town. I do have a property investment that I live in outside of a primary residence that's not shown on YT, which is Greyman all the way. I do keep a kit/bag/clothing in my vehicle that's modeled after the grey man theory. Maybe I'll do a video on it down the road here. Anyways, sorry to ramble, that patch was designed to raise awareness on emergency preparedness. As I told folks who have asked in the past what you see on KZbin, is only a small percentage, I've built things specifically for KZbin for teaching, informing, and educating.

Which I keep in my vehicle, home, and place of business at all times. I agree that never underestimate small scrapes and cuts as they can turn into an infected mess and take you out.

I'm not out every day or even 3x a week, so I don't keep a bag in my truck, also the temps get hot inside of a closed up hot day making it hotter inside the truck. For those reasons I just don't keep bags in there like that. If I have to go somewhere, I take a bottle of water, snack bar, eye drops for dry eyes, medicine for anxiety/panic attacks and BC powder in my purse. I have separate bags ready to go for each situation that may arise that I can grab omw out of the door. 1 loaded bag for medical emergency use. 1 bag for food/snack/drinks, water, water enhancer packets and candy. 1 bag for assorted clothes, socks/shoes, extra eyeglasses, phone charger, toiletries/hygiene. Toolbag is already in the truck. I don't like having everything mixed together in the same bag, I prefer to have things kinda like going on vacation so I know what's in each bag. I know...I'm weird like that. My protection gun/knife is in my purse and the baseball bat, golf club, 4ft stick (like Walking Tall), ax, hatchet and machete, shovel, rope, spade, garbage bags, jumper cables and flashlight are already inside the truck.

As to "redundancies" - - - Only TWO items I believe require "redundancy" 1. Knife and Fire Starter. In addition to THREE methods of starting a FIRE, I carry 2 small tubes made from a plastic straw: (heat seal both ends) A "cotton ball" saturated with Vaseline is stuffed inside for starting fire in wet weather. Multiple "knives and fire starters" are NO. 1! This bag is "similar" to what I have in my vehicles.

1 is none and 2 is one is good for the absolute must have can't live without. I am a collector (packrat) and I carry, buy, store stuff that I don't use and is a waste of space, weight, money and energy. I would like to change my everyday carry to everyday use, everyday wear. The majority of the stuff I carry should be used every day, I should have a inventory list on my phone and mark every time I use the item in a month of carry, and use that as a major deciding factor on whether I am going to carry it on me or leave it in my vehicle which is usually within walking distance. I can learn a lot from minimalist hikers and carry on only travelers. I love Multi purpose complementary items but only if I use them fully ( just imagine removing the tools from a Leatherman you don't use every day) . "Just in Case" is what kills me and causes me to leave the whole bag in the car rather than carry it on my person. My focus should be on everyday wear and not everyday carry. If it is not scratched and well loved then I probably don't use it.

Add a small roll of mole skin for blister prevention

Yes, great suggestion. I do keep that in my GHB bag and medical kits. Worst case, duct tape can be used in a similar manner, not as good but does the job in a pinch.

I would think that if you need a spare mag, then you kind of need it to be more accessible.

I understand your perspective, I carry 2 on my left side plus 1 in the firearm. It's just a redundancy for me and honestly personal preference, vs. carrying a box ammo.

Did you mention what the full bag weighs? Do you ever go anyplace the bag is not allowed? Do you have pocket only supplies when that happens? Don't think I can heve a knife visible on a bag where I live. How do I find out the local laws without tons of research?

[@GreyManPrepping]

The bag weighs about 2-4 lbs depending if I'm carrying water. I try to refrain from going places that have heavy restrictions. Most places in Florida I have not had to worry about with the exception of Court Houses, Federal property like the post office. You can ask local law enforcement if you know any personally or look up your state statutes online referencing weapons or whatever you're looking to find out.

That I do. I'll add it to this comment here. I own 4 of them now. Well, the wife has 1. I bought one and used it for 1 year and over. That time, I realized that the bag was a great buy as it stood up to my daily abuse, lol 😆 Bag Link: amzn.to/4egt2G4

@@missperfect2657 Yes they're windproof and my grandmother used to use them. I just prefer them over a cheap bic/scripto for daily use.

They maybe old school, but folks still buy them, I found mine at WM. Love em too!

[@Crashdude975]

I would add a container to carry and boil water. Those Sawyer bags are unreliable. A good metal water bottle is simple and easy. You seem to be carrying a lot of knives. A good folder and a multi tool is enough. Remember, you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight, but to each his own. I have been a flight nurse, a medic, and taught TCCC . Your trauma kit is great, but I use the boo boo stuff more often than the trauma stuff. I would add some mole skin for your feet. Good little kit there. Nice job.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Some great points. Thank you for sharing your suggestions. I have a pretty comprehensive ouch kit in my vehicle. I could probably take the external blade out of the equation and add a small boo boo kit with some triple antibiotic cream. 😁👍

[@dougcfrary]

Not very sure about experience with any of these items, especially the Med Kit. However, I could be wrong (has happened many times before). Most of the items are goodly. Just not sure about real experience. Df

[@GreyManPrepping]

You'd have to walk a mile in my shoes per se. As a combat medic in the Army, I never wanted to be under prepared or need something and not have it. As for real-world experiences, I've experienced way too much to add to this comment 😆 But many things in this kit have been needed or utilized in certain instances. But everyone is different. Factors like area "rural or city" environmental factors "weather" and me personally I spend a lot of times in the woods thinking, camping and so on.

For my 3rd comment....I cannot figure out how to minimize all my Diabetes pump supplies. I love the thing but geez there's a lot of sterile but bulky stuff for it.

I'm diabetic and never had propel spike my blood sugar. Ever.

[@GreyManPrepping]

A nutritionist had said that sucralose may actually impair a person's glycemic response and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. And previous ingredients of some of the propel powders had an ingredient that had a GI that was almost double of table sugar. Which is why I mentioned it. Hopefully, that clarifies things a bit.

[@mkgruff]

Haha you can't show me the bag and not pull everything out. I want to see it all!

[@GreyManPrepping]

[@markcoraa]

My apologies. At first I was going to disagree with you because to me and EDC is something I would take with me everywhere I go. Police station movies mcdonald's to work any place I go. But as you went through your kit. I realized I carry all that stuff in my car already. So that does constitute, technically and EDC. Only real difference is I would not carry a tourniquet. A heavy first aid kit with me. As you do. I'm in Florida in a big city and EMS can be there in 5 minutes. Anything I need to take care of, I can take care of you without that. I've never been shot at in 50 years. I don't anticipate it changing.

[@GreyManPrepping]

I appreciate you watching through before making a decision, I figured some folks would disagree with my thought process on EDC but as the term states it's things you carry with you everyday, being on your person's extended ingredients to a vehicle as it's with you an accessible in most cases. The main reason I carry TQ's is that Bleeding can quickly become life-threatening. The average time to bleed out is only 2 to 5 minutes. In my area in Florida, the avg police response time is about 9-11 mins. I was a combat medic in the Army, and it's just entrenched in my DNA at this point to always be ready for the worst-case scenario. Thanks so much for watching, and have a wonderful evening 😁

@Twitz88 My wife's is more of a neutral civilian look. But most of my friends, as well as myself, are all retired miliary and here in Florida well in my neck of the woods it's pretty normal to have some form a tactical/military style packs, clothing etc. I guess it depends on personal preference and the location you live in.

[@carnivorecaveman]

It's a good kit, but since I follow the carnivore diet, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't put any carb-rich food-like concoctions (crap...) in my EDC kit! The thing is, I didn't pack any food, because my hobby is anyway "survival in extreme conditions", I'm a professional faster, so far my record is 12 days in a row without any food, and even after that I wasn't very hungry. And anyway, I'm ready to swallow live earthworms without batting an eye, if there's nothing better than that. I have eaten them many occasions, as well as other bugs, too. However, if I were to put some food in the kit, it would be pemmican, it's worthy of a carnivore, a meat-eater like me, a predator, whose role models are the cavemen, it's not high in carbohydrates but high in fat, and it keeps for DECADES even without refrigeration! Extremely longlasting! And it gives you much more energy than carbohydrates!

[@GreyManPrepping]

I make pemmican myself add some blue berries and black berries from the garden I dehydrate along with the tallow and dried meat. I've been experimenting with several options that can withstand the high temperature fluctuations in my car. Florida heat can destroy many food items. Whereas they go rancid. In a survival situation, almost anything would be better than nothing. My buddy, the Alaska Prepper he's been doing carnivore for about a year now.

[@carnivorecaveman]

@@GreyManPrepping I don't know how well pemmican lasts in Florida's climate, I'll be honest, I have no experience surviving in such a hot climate. I am a Hungarian man, 59 years old, although I am currently polluting the environment with my presence in the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is much colder than Florida. But Hungary, my native country, is even colder. And I have no intention of traveling to Florida or even further south, because even Penn State is sometimes too hot for me, at least in the summer... To be honest, I would probably feel really comfortable in Alaska! Anyway, it sometimes gets very hot in Hungary, but it's different than in Florida or Pennsylvania. The largest part of Hungary is basically and ultimately a semi-desert, so even if it's hot there, it's almost always DRY hot! It is obvious that food lasts much better in dry heat than in humid, wet heat... So I'm used to this kind of climate. I readily admit, or at least assume, that you may have more experience surviving in tropical or subtropical areas than I do. But I don't wish for such places. The environment may be beautiful and interesting, but I'm afraid I'd be cooked in no time and getting died of apoplexy there. It's not my place.

[@tommoszak260]

Great "hand actor".

[@GreyManPrepping]

I'll take that 😆

[@uzbeck2006]

Basically this is ghb, for which it's good. As an edc it's a total overkill. Not gonna carry on you all day long. 2. Too militaristically looking.

[@GreyManPrepping]

I understand your perspective. In my small town, I look like everyone else. Everyone is in hunting, tactical, outdoor attire from their bags, trucks, clothing, and so on. The 3lb bag is very comfortable to carry for me personally as everyone has different needs and expectations of what EDC is and what should be carried. I do admit everything I do is overkill. I've unfortunately been in situations whereas I wish I had the gear I carry today. I should do a video of my GHD/Truck bag. It comes in at a little over 18 lbs.

[@uzbeck2006]

@GreyManPrepping I end up with echelons . A. On my body - EDC. b. Waist bag - enhanced edc. It might go with me to a store or whatever I do or stay in the car. C. Maxpedition shoulder bag - similar to yours plus some tools. Acts as ghb. D. Large bob and/or ghb that I take if I drive away 50+ miles away. I just realize while everything is good to have but most likely I will end up with what on me. So I learn to estimate the risks involved and grab what I think I will need (except echelon a, that is always on me). Hope it makes sense. Thanks!

[@firearmssanctuary2448]

downside to these videos is 99.99999% of them don't apply to 99.99999% of those watching them because everyone's has different needs, and desires. at least they provide some useful info such as exposing us to items we did not know existed ;).

[@GreyManPrepping]

I agree, everyone has different needs based on their own environments as well as several other factors that play a role in the gear they may choose to carry and skill sets they have, even local laws can change the dynamics of an EDC kit. But like you stated, it does give folks ideas of things that may or may not work for them or expose them to gear they may not yet be familiar with. 😁👍

[@petercannova5026]

a gray man would not have patches on him

[@GreyManPrepping]

The greyman concept for me is situational. Were I live and places I frequent are filled with folks that myself and family have known for generations. Everyone is armed, ready, and geared up in this small town. I do have a property investment that I live in outside of a primary residence that's not shown on YT, which is Greyman all the way. I do keep a kit/bag/clothing in my vehicle that's modked after the grey man theory. Maybe I'll do a video on it down the road here. Anyways, sorry to ramble, that patch was designed to raise awareness on emergency preparedness. As I told folks who have asked in the past what you see on KZbin, is only a small percentage, I've built things specifically for KZbin for teaching, informing, and educating. God bless and stay safe.

[@FactFinderGeneral]

This isn't EDC, it's an emergency kit.

[@GreyManPrepping]

@FactFinderGeneral It honestly depends, at least for me. Let's look at EDC or "Everyday Carry" A collection of items that people carry with them daily to help with everyday tasks and potential emergencies. I carry this this with me every day & everywhere. So technically, it's EDC, "Dirty Civilian" did a what is EDC, which was a great video. Basically, EDC is more so up to the person. In my vehicle, there's a Go bag, which is also with me every day, but technically, I'm not carrying it. So, your perspective, which is valued, is your personal view on EDC vs. my perspective. Some prefer micro edc kits vs. let's say mine, which maybe we'll call it overkill edc 😆 But I've learned many things, especially in the Army as a combat medic, that there's never enough of anything in certain situations.
