A great, lightweight, no nonsense approach to an EDC bag, refreshing to see among loads of videos showing complete overkill loadouts that neglect essential items in favor of two or more versions of fancy things.

[@evilcism]

I took a shot whenever you said "boy i wish i had a ..." and now im drunk

[@AROTTWEILERR]

i slap my bag constantly too, i enjoy slapping it about every 4 seconds, its great

[@PracticalTacticalSheepDog]

Damn it now I can't not notice.

[@johnnyr701]

And how many times have you…..or… I can’t stress it enough…lol

[@TomSmithPI]

I've been looking at EDC carry bags for the last two hours. Yours is the most practical I've seen for my needs. Thanks for sharing.

[@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel]

thanks for checking it out Tom!

[@randallkelley3599]

water water everywhere, yet none to drink….Ancient Mariner, very true! Use the plastic bottles after empty and add water purification tablets. great vid...

[@ryleeheath1529]

Also I would advise buying a good quality flashlight besides your crank one something that has some good power

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Again very well thought out brother...Gloves a great addition!! One thing from my experience from natural disasters, cell phones are ok, but not reliable. Not saying don't care it, because it does work, but don't expect to make a call. For example, a local disaster in the area, a major bridge collapsed and and cell service, calling in or out, was overloaded, wouldn't work. But, text messages would go out in time. Just like the Katrina deployment, text messages were the only form of non-sophisticated type of communication, but took roughly 6 hours to receive. Just food for thought. To many people rely on cell phones these days, and don't understand there capabilities. Great video and presentation..

[@GeezerDave1949]

Great job! I also use a similar bag and it can be carried behind or in front. I have added a couple items extra: 1. Chapstick or such 2. Headlamp - make moving at night hands free. 3. Pepper spray - just in case someone gets in my space. All in all I really like your ideas.

[@podsmpsg1]

I keep Pepper Gel in my get home bag. I should keep Chap stick in it too. Thanks for the tip.

[@mamurra22]

Actually love ur kit! Very practical, no overkill. Love the urban idea that this works if my car breaks down. No need for 3 thermal blankets, 6 ways to start fire and 4 different knives. Plus if for some reason the world really does go to shit, u have enough to help get u home. Thumbs up. 👍👍👍🏾👍🏾

[@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel]

thank you !

[@tomdawson2864]

I definitely agree with your idea and mentality of an EDC,,,,,more than most of the dudes I've seen.. And too,, because I prefer a similar style, inconspicuous single strap bag.

[@1791Actual]

Love the choice of the Makarov and THREE mags. Plus I fully agree with "if your head falls off... handkerchief"

[@erikandersson3303]

Best and smartest EDC I have seen for a long time!

[@pansquared]

Thank you for the great ideas presented, I started carrying 5 hour energy and a hand crank battery/radio because of your video. Both have come in handy on multiple occasions. Cheers!

[@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel]

awesome! take care!

[@KRACK999]

Nice!! I carry a Makarov in my EDC bag too. Great choice.

[@TRprepper]

That is a lot of great items packed in that little bag. Excellent EDC bag!

[@wb5mgr]

I'm thinking a lot of thought went into that kit and it looks nicely done. I would make a few suggestions though. 1: I like the crank charger, but pack a real charger too you might find power and that is a lot less work, also pack a 12v charger for cars. 2: bring a more durable water container, those puncture easily and leak out in your bag. If you are on a budget I've seen folks on YT using Gatorade bottles but I prefer a 32oz hardwalled container like a guyot or nalgene. 3: all your food is very protein based meaning you will need lots of water to eat it. Bring more fats like cashews rather than peanuts and maybe some trail mix that has dried fruit. 4: include $100 split into a roll of quarters,a $50,a $20, and 20 in $1's you won't be sorry.

[@teaberdean1]

Good suggestions.

[@siddthesupreme1076]

how many times throughout the day have you asked yourself, "Damn, where da bitches at?" Nice setup, Zrus

[@Victorsbzh]

"Living in a heavily populated city" water, peanuts and snack is a must! LOL.

[@poncho12335]

Thanks for the video.I have several bug out bags,bit have been trying to simplify for edc.Got some great ideas from this.Thank You!

[@carlhowell170]

Good job keeping it simple for every day randomness that may come up. Have to second what a previous comment said about additional boo boo supplies, especially when you mention a family of four, good odds you experience more ailments regularly than tylenol will handle. I carry, and recommend; a couple benadryl tabs good will help relieve itchiness and puffiness not only from allergies but also ease itching from bug bites and ivies. A couple anti diarrheal pills, it can be deadly if you're dehydrating faster than rehydrating at least you can attempt to stop the dehydrating from this messy situation. Also i carry some pepto bismol tabs for the acid indigestion, its labeled as multi symtom including anti diarrheal but thats already covered, i just use for upset stomach and heartburn. Bandages i mostly do not carry regular band aids for myself, maybe for the kids. If i need a bandage its going to be for a messy deep wound. I carry a few steri strip wound closures, a few knuckle bandages and a 2 inch gauze, you already have tape. Neosporin or triple anti biotic for those wounds as well. If we add every item that everyone suggest we might as well just skip the edc and go right to the 72 hour bag. I like the absence of three or four knifes in your bag and the basic simplicity. But 1st aid is a biggie, cant help ourselves or anyone else if we are miserable or in pain with no way to ease it. That said, i just need to make it to my car where there is a large stash of supplies, medical, tools, fire starting, shelter.. So my idea of edc is basically in my pockets. But. I put together EDC's for family, in hopes they will have at least the minimum in their car because i told them they better keep what i give them in their car. Its an OCD hobby for me...

[@Juanter]

This video sums up to: Water. Prefenrences. Zip ties. Cant go wrong with.

[@adammontoya7709]

+HunterGames. how many times have you said to urself......?

[@Juanter]

ADAM MONTOYA 5 TIMES, YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH 5 TIMES

[@carmenluciareyes9213]

+HunterGames. Soooo what????

[@realityisfantacy5784]

The handkerchief is the most important part of your EDC. It has more uses than everything put together. I feel no matter what sort of EDC or those who do not carry a EDC should still have a handkerchief. Even if it is being used as a piece of fashion, it should still be on every person everywhere.

[@nicholasandrade9149]

out of all EDC videos this is the most reasonable

[@zg1451]

I love the Zip ties "your arm is falling off" great video!!

[@psychopath234]

A 16 In collapsible baton should also be added to your EDC kit/ Great for defense or to break glass.

[@FringeSniper]

Nice bag. I highly agree on water, especially now in the summer.

[@NickM1013]

Very nice kit and presentation. I like the binoculars idea a lot. Since you mention water is key for survival, and I totally agree, I would recommend having water purification tablets, a life straw, or some type of filter as a backup. One other thing would be a shelter such as a space blanket that can double as a tarp. Again, nice job and awesome bag.

[@ddltmn]

I would add a small clippable compass, prybar and ultralight poncho. Great no frills approach!

[@ronaldrose7593]

Very comprehensive presentation my friend. Thank you for sharing. Be safe out there.

[@hossm1808]

Nice well thought out bag! You actually gave me a couple of good ideas! Thank you! 🤙

[@s.g.3042]

A great down to earth non-"tacticool" review. A great pronounciation too. Not a typical "Ivan the russian" accent one can see in the movies ;)

[@vegasaxeman]

Nice practical, level headed everyday items and advise. (No counterfeit commando speak) Well done... God bless and take care...

[@geoki4539]

Awesome beginners EDC bag video! Zip Ties is a def must!

[@ndfan62]

Great video and great advice. I am now just starting to look into building my own EDC bag.

[@ndfan62]

***** Just a little overwhelming. Not sure where to start.

[@stevenniewiedzial4883]

great video,,,simple ,,direct to point,,,not to much weight,,, very good

[@stantonolsen2044]

Hi, Nice presentation. Where do you get the little plastic bottle for the alcohol? Thx Stan

[@mouie5]

Im surprised how much that bag holds. Great vid.

[@Wingspan_5]

How many times have you said: "How many times have you said boy I wish I had X." Great video though, very compact bag and full of useful stuff.

[@Wingspan_5]

***** At least twice. Probably three times.

[@ryleeheath1529]

You would save a ton of space if you kept a case of water in your pickup or car just a heads up that's what I do

[@benschway1843]

How many times have you said ..... How many times .....

[@iSuperGeek]

+Ben Schway You can't go wrong with asking "How many times?" - Very useful. This is just preference, but I feel it's necessary.

[@majinRA]

+Ben Schway Haha. I was thinking the same thing. The vid is good but he is damn repetitive.

[@jenocean824]

+Ben Schway Or...water, water, water...

[@josephdykes1820]

I had to stop watching after 7 "how many times"; 18 "water"; 10 "can't go wrong"; 12 "zip ties". Yes, I started keeping track. It probably got much worse...

[@rileyscarbrough4499]

Jen Ocean

[@sappersteve1443]

I'm sure you will say that you want your spare mags to hand,but if you are in a town;is it wise to have the spare mags on show where everyone can see them?

[@YuDumPhuk]

Not only keep the mags out of sight, but hanging loose like that, rounds could be knocked out and lost. Also, hollow points are better than FMJ rounds for self defense.

[@DBGlobalTech]

you could get some liquid bandage. it is water proof and has antiseptic. small bottle has a shell live of a year and works great for small cuts.

[@Yellowjacket307]

Don't use Zip ties on any wound unless it's the very last thing you can do.

[@downundersurvival670]

Great Tip!

[@kamiskenaw4340]

Use your clothing if you have took but I carry my shemagh

[@keithcronk7980]

DAMN RIGHT OR YOU'RE BELT ONLY IF YOU'RE BLEEDING OUT!

[@ryancrownover1578]

I agree with you on the zip ties ther one of the most handy things you could ever have

[@prosjeffrey]

very nice edc vid. my only concern would be the 2 gun clips visible on the outside of the bag. Im assuming that it is for fast access, but I would also be concerned about it also making you a target.

[@williamyoung369]

Wet ones are nice to have for cleaning up. Or just a regular bar of Ivory. Or Purell hand sanitizer wipes, individually wrapped, small & compact. Guess you could get by with putting some of the alcohol on the bandanna & wiping off. An airline size can of axe body spray is nice to have as is insect repellant & sunscreen, also airline sized.

[@williamyoung369]

*****​ you can use that stinky stuff for personal protection like mace, stings like a bitch in the eyes.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Really like the video here! Do you happen to know the name of the gloves in your kit? Would appreciate a good recommendation. Anyways cool channel, just subscribed!

[@jayn8392]

Someone in the comments already meantioned this, but I figure I would repeat it as it's a fair concern. With the patch, magazines and other assorted things visible on the outside, it could make the bag look interesting to others, it also could potentially give away the fact that you have a weapon. It may not matter overly much but It was a good thought. I'm going to make up something like this to have in my truck or take when I ride my chopper.

[@boyinblue823]

Good kit and good point w/ making it small so you are more apt to take it w/ you. Great video.

[@ChrisC30]

I absolutely disagree with the statement that multitool quality isn't important. If the bag can fail, the multitool can, too. If you feel you need to carry something, ensure it's going to work. Otherwise, you may be unable to use it, and you can blame the guy who told you it didn't matter what the quality was. ;-) If you survive, anyway. Love everything else, though. Great video.

[@s.g.3042]

Save on a bag not on tools yeah. There a a mulitude of fatboy cheap copies - at 8-10 litres capacity it does not gae to be the most rugged pack

[@ChrisC30]

I run a pricey bag, though. So, I guess for me, what matters most is the 'total package'. If you put together everything the way you want it and are satisfied with it, that's what matters most. Anything can break. That's why we carry spares.

[@robertthetexan8537]

Well, because I feel like commenting on every single post you made and disagreeing to some point, I'll disagree again. ;) I would discourage going with a cheap bag. In all honesty, when you're talking about survival or being able to take care of yourself in less than ideal circumstances, you really don't want to cut corners. I see it with guys who buy cheap guns, cheap optics, cheap bags. Buy once, cry once...

[@robertthetexan8537]

Agree Chris. My philosophy is buy once, cry once. There may be areas to cut costs, but I prefer to do that buy buying bulk, or buying an aesthetic "blem" rather than buying a cheap item.

[@ChrisC30]

Thanks. Absolutely. You don't want your most important tools not lasting because they were the cheapest option at the time.

[@Matt_Strings_n_Things]

Big plus on the zip ties...I carrry a bundle as well. Really versatile item.

[@ronrowan4828]

In addition I would consider a wad of TP, matches, a signaling mirror, a large recloseable plastic bag, an emergency blanket, and a whistle if I were going on a road trip.

[@mercerkeyes613]

Can you find a definite name for this bag, is it the fatboy versipack, or the jumbo versipack ?

[@MysterPynk]

Think it's a great kit, commend you for having. I personally don't like off-body carry for my firearm and I've not needed binoculars often enough to make them an EDC item. Get-home bag, sure.

[@CopperJacketTV]

Nice, I think starting off with good gear is super important. Great vid

[@theoutdoormedic3098]

Nice vid. I'm from the UK so apart from the pistol, I carry most of this. as well as a load of "just in case" shit.........Nice Work!

[@6BURG9]

great video, thanks for the information. Question: do you always carry your handgun in the bag?

[@TargaWheels]

I think I like your EDC the best so far, compared to all I've seen. Perfect size bag too. Funny thing is I have all those things spread out in my car...and all I need is a bag to put it in.

[@knucklehedd]

TargaWheels My Vanquest Falconer 27 came in yesterday. My manpurse looks like a backpack. Highly reccomended.

[@StarDarkAshes]

Awesome video! What kind of binoculars are those?

[@TheMisterMonkeyman]

Nice kit. A couple of things though. The most used items from my bag seem to come from my boo-boo kit. Assorted band-aids, 2x2 gauze pads, sanitizing wipes, steri-strips for deep lacerations, etc. I've fixed up myself and others on many occasions, and it really takes up no room and weighs nothing. You already have the pain-killers, alcohol, and bandanna. Also, along with my other protection, I carry pepper spray as a non-lethal option. Lastly an emergency blanket is small, light, can keep you dry, or warm up a person in shock among other uses. Just a few suggestions that I carry. Peace.

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

Great video ! Thank you for sharing. I carry a max pack Jumbo. Quick question. would it not be better to hide the extra mags?

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

No sir, again thank you for sharing the video. the hand warmers , gloves , and paracord bracelets were sadly missing from mine. I am happy to say thanks to your video they are now in mine as well.

[@橋本絵莉子]

There was never a situation where I did miss something of this, maybe just a flashlight or the Multitool but thats it. Most of the time I need PlasterSpray, Smartphone, Keys, Money & Cards, Ciggies a Lighter and a Book like Languages to learn something, so you never ever have to wait you just learn. I got also a 1st Aid Kit but did just justed used it 2 times in 30 years.

[@pippalottapoohbah]

Thanks for the vid..maybe one suggestion swap out the crank battery bank with a crank radio ..handy in shtf

[@BlackStarMulti]

all in all a great and well thought edc bag

[@georgekrug2071]

Nice EDC BAG for urban environment

[@ironpolux]

What about some extra cash? or a lotto ticket? i mean, how many times through out the day have you said boy i wish i was a millionare? XD ! . Thanks for the vid!

[@Tuauld]

This is actually quite sensibe. Nice, well tought out imo. Thank you! (I would throw in a sowing kit tough with a bobby pin and a few buttons tough)

[@StarDarkAshes]

I totally agree on the energy drink because what if you have a long day and you're totally exhausted and you're about to go to sleep and then catastrophe Strikes? Yeah you'll have some sort of adrenaline rush because it's an emergency but having an energy drink if all the setting you have to start running around is great and if you don't know what kratom is I suggest you research it and order some before it's illegal again. Even if you're super Duper tired and you take so it gives you a feeling of well-being and a blast of energy that is very smooth and lasts for a couple of hours. It works way better than an energy drink for a short blast of energy and it's a pain killer that can replace Vicodin or other opiates in a pinch. Great thing to have for a bug out bag.

[@dominicflores3250]

Great video gave me some ideas fur my edc backpack. Thank you

[@enjoypool4052]

Maxpedition buckles break so be sure it has a secondary draw cord

[@ernestpino8778]

Good video and a nice overview of your EDC kit. Stay safe out there. Scott

[@BianShaw]

From someone with asthma I like the rule of 3s, and in my opinion the ability to not go 3mins without air outrules food. Air and water are on the same level of importance. First 2 things your given in most medical call outs is IV drip of water(dehydrated) and oxygen. I lile the maxpedition bag nice small compact bag 👍.

[@illinoisoutdoorspreppingre9444]

Nice video. One thing I'd like to point out is that wind up chargers are not compatible with the iPhone. It will give a message saying it is not compatible with this charging device and not charge.

[@noexcuses6727]

Specifically what color is that Maxpedition bag? Looks kind of light grey in the video.

[@micahspencerprado1328]

sir great kit. i just have one question, can i carry paracetamol as a substitute for advil?

[@geoki4539]

Nice Review and advice! I'm gonna start building up my EDC pack thank you

[@AngeltashaUK]

this is such a kool lil bag, for work

[@hppmike]

Good vid. Looks like the basics are covered, except I would add a lightweight poncho of some sort (shelter, rain etc.). And yes, zip ties are a must.

[@cthrly]

I dont know if you had it but whwn not i would add little waterfilter or aqua tabs

[@usarmycaptainamerica]

Hi ZRUS,I was curious what was your deciding factors for choosing the Makarov for your EDC gun? Does the fact that you carry to spare mags on the outside of your bag ever draw any attention?

[@usarmycaptainamerica]

+Z.R.US Hey Ryan,Thanks for your kind words and sub. I wanted to let you know that a company by the name of "mag guts" has an aftermarket magazine spring and follower for the Shield 9MM that will allow you to add one more round in the standard or extended magazine.Also check out Underwood ammunition. They have some newer devastating rounds one that is a fragmenting bullet and another that is a solid round with no hollow point but the cavitation of the bullet will cause a wound channel around double the size of a standard hollow point. The prices are great. Keep making the awesome videos and I hope to see you over at everdaycary.com.

[@johnkennedy3980]

Z.r.us your videos are actually good and sensible and not very cheap but affordable I really like your edc video along with a few other I am a young prepper and I ask if you have any tips for a beginner?

[@haydz089]

The "how many times" is copping some heat but it definitely rings true for building a edc/get home bag. How many people deck their bags out with useless unnecessary shit. Your bag had the necessary items, plus a couple extras to suit your area/preference. Water/food/protection....Easy

[@tnjrcfl1]

Kool, I carry a bag of the steel inserted ty-raps, much stronger than regular, though more pricey. Used them in hundreds of situations and are invaluable. Even fixed my Harley numerous times on the road (she's a 58fl so shit happens;)) Also, I carry a fixed blade larger knife along with pocket knife for strength and wood processing when needed, in mountain areas of ne tn, so larger fixed blade became a must. Good video and thought provoking topic. Regards. .. TNJR

[@BenjaminBrewer25]

[@AndrewM0M0]

This was awesome and very helpful.

[@ucitymetalhead]

I need to get a bag like that maybe a vanquest mobius 2.0.

[@robertthetexan8537]

Good job on the video. I think EDC"s are like AR's it's a highly personalized experience. So if you are satisfied with what you have, then rock steady. I have a couple of different thoughts on my EDC. I carry one in my truck in a Maxpedition Fatboy, and in my ruck I use for work, I have some EDC kit in there. Most of my kit's based on my experience in the military and life. 1. I try to stay away from beef jerky. Even homemade beef jerky has a lot of salt/sodium in it. In a situation where water resources may be limited, I try not to eat stuff that's going to make me more thirsty if I can help it. Sucks because I love beef jerky. I carry some high energy protein bars. Hydration is life, so I pack something that will gives me extended energy and without the sodium. - I also keep some water purification tabs. Not many, they are small and take up no room. Water is life. 2. Don't go cheap on the multi-tool. Think about it, multitools are the 100 MPH tape of tools. Spend a few bucks and get one that that is good quality. Wire cutters are indispensable. 3. On pain relief, it really does matter. I would not recommend anything other than Tylenol or acetaphetamine. Advil/ibuprofen/naloxone are blood thinners. Last thing you want to take for bleeding trauma is something that's going to thin your blood. All my SOCM bros never pack anything other than Tylenol for that very reason. 4. I think it would be beneficial to have a blood clotting agent. You can get small tubes at a CVS, or a compress treated with a quikclot agent. On that note, I pack at least one TQ, I wouldn't use a zip tie for a TQ unless I absolutely had nothing else.. I say that for a couple of reasons. 1) Zip ties can be hard to see. This is critical especially for medic or EMT to find your tourniquet and so they may not even realize you have a TQ on. Good thing about using a TQ like a CAT, is medics are used to looking for them and you can record DTG on it. You can find good TQ's on Amazon for around $15.00 They are good quality, I use them. Just wrap a rubber band around them. Rather than sticking your mags on that PALS webbing, I'd stick a TQ and a chem light. - - Because it's super thin, I slide a little sheet of moleskin inside that zippered compartment. It stays out of the way, and like your 100 MPH tape, moleskin has a lot of uses besides protecting your feet. Think about if you are with your family and have to "ruck" it out to get home. Not everyone with you may be used to walking a lot or equipped for walking a lot. That reason alone makes moleskin invaluable. Not to mention chest seal, other trauma solutions. 5. I also use my EDC as a conceal carry, which if you are carrying mags on the outside of your bag, you are not concealing but advertising a little too much in my book. I'd either have a mag pouch to put on my belt, or I use a that zippered pocket, and i leave it unzipped if I was in a dicey situation so I would have quick access. You can even use plain velcro straps and make a ad hoc mag holder for inside your Maxpedition Even if it's not a "lights out" situation, you are still better off running low viz. No sense to advertise a a person or group of people, "Hey I have a firearm!" Even in a relatively normal emergency, if you need your EDC, you want to be low key with the goal of getting from A-B without any interruptions. Some people may say, well if I have a gun, no one will mess with me. I think we probably know that's just not the truth. It means they will just get more friends before they mess with you. 6. One more thing you might consider is throwing some cash in your bag. (Did you mention that? I may have missed it if you did.) Paper money and even some coin. I don't carry a lot. I'm talking about enough for emergency gas, water, food. But good job putting the info out there to help others. You did a good job on the video and definitely some good suggestions also.

[@1bcd2fgh3jk]

Robert Salmon check your facts on what pain meds are blood thinners.

[@robertthetexan8537]

I will definitely do that. I want to say that info came from the 18D Q course, but I will definitely check.

[@robertthetexan8537]

Ibuprofen is an NSAID and it's a blood thinner. Aleve/Naloxone is a little different and although it can be considered a blood thinner, in fact reduces clotting time. Is that what your comment is directed at? All nitpicking aside, Isn't that the risk of blood thinners? Reduced clotting time of a wound? In an environment where medical help may not be readily available, shouldn't someone be concerned about how quickly a wound clots? The bottom line: As I said, In my kit, be it chest rig or an EDC or a truck kit, I'm going to use a pain reliever that does not inhibit blood clotting. In my house, I have Aleve and Ranger Candy. In the field or out and about, I'd pack Tylenol, because I prefer a pain med that doesn't inhibit blood clotting over the anti-inflammatory properties the NSAID meds have. But that's just me and my people. If you have training that says otherwise, share it.

[@brucecarter6904]

I like the idea of a stuff I might actually use bag instead of a SHTF bag, I would add sun screen and bug repellant also ... much more of a chance I will be out hiking and break a shoestring and use a Ziptie than needing 5 types of fire starters

[@Thealowens]

Great EDC Bag, Ryan! ~ I do have one suggestion for you, especially being that you're in an urban area - a mask! I realize that the bandana can double as a mask, but I carry a good painter's mask - it basically weighs nothing, and could be invaluable in some situations! Great video, Brother!

I've been looking into edc & watching what people have in there bags. Some carry everything bar the kitchen sink, while others go minimalistic. I haven't made my mind up yet, when I do though I think I will be more than pleasantly surprised. Those energy pills caffeine? Because if it is, they will make you go to the toilet post haste. Thankyou for the video. :)
