A power brick is a must. You never know when one of your devices is about to run out of battery and you might not have access to a wall plug.

8:25 one small note, for first aid kits. only carry what you know how to use, you could potentially cause more harm than good if you don’t know how to use what is in your first aid kit.

Something I grew quite fond of are the Grid-It organizers from Cocoon. These are really great when you have a big pouch and a bunch of items that you'd otherwise just dump in it.

What if you need to charge a device and there’s no wall outlets around…….This is why you should have some sort of battery bank in your bag too👍🏻Awesome video it’s always nice to see what other people carry in their bag.

In a go-everywhere module that fits all my packs, I've got a reverse charging 18650 flashlight held in reserve specifically for phone charging (and the rare large lighting task), as well as a 14500 flashlight for regular lighting needs.

Chain stitch the cable so you have both working ends close at hand and quickly access just the cordage you need. LOVE YOUR videos. Keep up the great work

I like to keep a sharpie or 2 in mine so I can write on more surfaces than what a pen can. and a pack of post-it notes to go along with a note pad/book

Good list of items. Many of the things I tend to carry myself. I got an Analogue Pocket back in August and yes, retro gaming is a blast. Highly recommended!

Starting to notice these videos are all the same now. Same gear just in a different carrying method… car, backpack, pocket, ect

Back in the day, we use to call these commercials.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. My EDC pack got broken apart and dispersed into my truck or office a while back. It's been on my mind to repack/update. Keep up the great work!

Duct tape wrapped around an old credit card, small emergency TP, and a little food like a protein bar and beef jerky.

Solid video! Beauty of EDC is while there is commonly accepted ideas, many people cater to their own lives. My biggest disagreement is the battery pack. Having a solid battery pack in your EDC backpack is truly a must in my opinion. I carry a couple USB A and C bricks and cords for multiple devices (for me and others) and it takes up a fraction of the space in one of my two interior mesh pocket. I’d argue it takes up less space than your plug in extension/multi charging cable and long cord setup. This isn’t me throwing any disrespect but the beauty of a battery pack is there’s no need for outlets and any hikes, emergencies or daily use comes with knowing you’ll always have your lifeline open to you because you can charge it right from your pack. Not to mention the mobile side of it. No need to stay stationary and be stuck in place waiting for a charge. Whereas deciding not to carry a battery pack and instead a charging cable, it assumes you’ll have access to a charging location.

Solid recommendations. Sling Bag makes sense for travel maybe not everyday. But our backgrounds are different. Also I'd put a more powerful flashlight in the bag and scrap a backup wallet. I like the heroclip for sure.

A lot of cool stuff for sure and thanks for sharing. For me I’ve made a concerted effort to stop acquiring so much gear. It’s just an endless rabbit hole. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great video! So my recommendation is seasonal clothing/cover. So winter I keep spare wool socks, wool hat and gloves. Summer I might have a cooling towel, sunscreen and a boonie just as a backup. I get sweaty year round doing work I love having spares

I just got a rite in the rain/field notes organizers myself for work, edc. I like the fact that it protects my rite in the rain notebook

I always have a pair of nitrile coated ANSI A4 gloves. Good to protect from heat, broken glass, chemicals or whatever filth I get stuck dealing with, and cheap enough that I don't mind discarding them. I like a solid colored handkerchief in case I need a work surface. Staring at a busy printed pattern while working with small parts sucks.

Enjoyed it Taylor. Merry Christmas man!

If you do a lot of work on the go I'd also suggest a portable surge protector. The last thing you need is to have a piece of gear get "zapped" by a power surge when plugging in at coffee shops or other random places. It's probably not all that likely to happen but as someone who once had a laptop component get fried by a power surge I'd HIGHLY recommend it.

Yeah and instead of a mini notebook, might as well carry a full size college spiral notebook It gives the backpack some structure as well

Best notebooks hands down is Midori aka travelers company. It’s a modular notebook system, amazing leather, paper that’s thin and doesn’t bleed through. It surpasses field notes and rite in the rain by miles. I’ve had mine 10+ years and never plan on changing

The one thing I always thought was silly was handkerchiefs, but I was going through a lot of tissue when winter came in, so I got some to lower my tissue expenses. Now I carry 3 at all times in my backpack and 1 in my pocket. 3 are cotton; 1 for my hands and 2 for my nose. 1 is microfiber for my phone screen and food knife. I recommend them to so many people because they end up using one of my clean ones regularly.

I was watching a prep video one time and this guy really shed light on the use of good, old fashion white cotten handkerchiefs. He had washed a new banana in with his wife's clothes and ruined them. She obviously freaked. So the light bulb went off in his head about using these things to prefilter water. This has to be one of the biggest DAH issues in the entire prepping community. Going even beyond chemical dyes in average soaps, laundry detergants and fabric softeners. I mean Tide Pods, hello. So to think of going to the effort to save a water filter or better purify water by dumping in dyes and detergants is laughable really. Not to mention the effect on the actual filter 😅. An one more thing is to advise people that a Smaug or Bandana can be used as a wound dressing is pretty scary as well. In the world wars they would shred up white cotten or linnen bedsheets and the dyes back then were far more natural then the chemicals and fabric treatments another thing, or crap we use as sun blockers, or the big one bug sprays, DEET, Permethrian, etc...that get on everything we come in contact with .... SMH. Can you imagine using a banana you had around your neck, or a smaug over your head, or part of a shirt now to prefilter 😆 drinking water ? And no one talkes about it .... I mean...?????

Really very nice >>>>>> Thank you .

The pouch in the backpack is a gamechanger.

👍 Love the firstaid kit! I have a small setup from North American Rescue I keep in my bag.

You are the first person I"ve seen use those velcro cable ties correctly! Bravo!

About that secondary wallet thing--YES! On a trip abroad, my wife's bag was stolen. Very luckily, her version of one of our cards had a different number than MY version of that card. After canceling the stolen cards, we were able to continue the trip without much interruption. Now I will PLAN around having a back-up credit card--as your back-up wallet would provide for.

I would also recommend carrying a small hank of paracord or bankline (10-25 ft), a small roll of duct tape, and at least 2 (preferably 3) ways to start a fire. I carry a ferro rod, hurricane matches and a bic lighter.

so 1. pouch 2. charger 3. pouch 4. light 5. writable pouch 6. pouch 7. cloth 8.cable ties 9. big pouch 10. pouch 11. mechanical pouch

A chemlight or Whats it called a lightstick. Something for that purpose of signaling and you just don’t want to toss your flashlight on the ground. And some paracord you can’t go wrong with some rope, just an extra shoelace or something like that. You don’t need to go all bug out . Other than that I think you have a great setup for walking around the office and home. I have a Wera tool check plus for a toolkit and it works great for 90% a small first aid kit and some way of changing in my back pack and I really appreciate having space in the pack for what ever I’m doing that day, like going to the park I need a water bottle and a jacket. I’m going down town I might need to bring a shopping bag or two. Going to the beach toss in a swim trunks and a towel. So by reducing what I carry in my “EDC” backpack I can actually carry more. If that makes sense. I just have to be careful not to feel the need to fill it up with stuff I might need. For that I have a different bag.

Wuben X3 is good. lightweight, 180 degrees turing head, magnetic bottom. Its a must to me. 👍

I've been enjoying the background item(s) in your vids--the FRA-JEE-LAY leg lamp, and now the...tactical dude? I look forward to whatever will be over your shoulder in the future. :-)

I always carry a roll up shopping bag or plastic bag in my urban edc bag, for ...carrying shopping. And a hank of cord, most often used for carrying larger boxes or slinging them over by shoulder. A small 250cc water bottle. About 1 cup of water for drinking and washing hands or knife blade.

I always roll with a compress-to-fist-sized air weight Patagonia daypack in my main pack. Sea to Summit makes one too.

The pack in this video is awesome! That internal tray system is genius! I think we have a similar approach to separation of items. I have a system I call OWN EDC. ON ME; WITH ME; NEAR ME. On me: in my pockets or attached to me. With me: a sling/pouch that is always within reach. Near me: a bag with larger items that I want to always have available. I often leave this in my vehicle because I am able to have it close by 95% of the time. (*I'm not talking about a GHB that is designed to be packed and left alone ready to go) Which category each of my EDC items falls into depends on what I am doing each day. The items don't change much, just how I carry them.

I’ve been doing quite well the last fifty or so years keeping to a minimum which includes a watch, house & car keys, phone, and wallet. Sometimes I’ll splurge and add sunglasses, ball cap, or jacket. All those other items you and every other EDC channel carries is overkill for me and most other people. Those other items fall under “nice to have but don’t need” category because I can get along quite well without them. If the need arises I need something else then I know how to make it happen which doesn’t require going into MacGyver mode with some odd piece of something in my pockets tied with a piece of string, duct tape, or a paper clip to escape some end of the world scenario that a lot of EDC preppers claim to be prepared for.

ha-ha 13:15 "There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

Great video to see all the gear and items but I have never carried that much stuff on me for an EDC to carry it everyday. I carry my knife a lighter, a multitool on my belt a pen, my personal protection and what I have in my wallet and that's it, I never have time for all the stuff you have there, man I could spend a whole day in my backpack if I had all that stuff on me and I wouldn't get anything done then, LOL. Awesome gear and great video. subbed

Re: hank/scarf: Varusteleka makes a 42"x42" merino wool/poly blend scarf that I now either wear or pack every single day in the winter.

Coffee shop owners hate him!😅

I keep a UCO camping fork/knife/spoon set in my bag that gets regular use.

I've always thought it was stupid but I do carry a spare wallet in my EDC for all those stupid membership cards that everyone hands out for those membership points and discounts. There are too many of them to stick in your main wallet but, the moment you leave them home is the moment you end up in the grocery/ gas station/ restaurant/ convenience store that's handing out those points and giving out those discounts. I also do the sling in backpack thing because I have a lot of stuff in my BP that I don't really need to bring with me for a grab-and-dash, so I just grab the sling leave the pack in the car. I don't game but I do watch videos and listen to music so I bring a tablet instead of a console. I also bring headphones or earbuds so others don't have to hear what I'm listening to. I usually have a reusable grocery bag for emergency shopping. I also like bringing a compact camera, even though the one on my phone gets used most often. Just old school. And even though I don't smoke, I have an arc lighter on me always. Very practical for burning off those stray threads.

I keep a small roll of dog poo bags. Sometimes you gotta pick up something nasty or you just need a bag that you don’t really care about. Most are biodegradable now so it feels a little better than a plastic Walmart bag

That first aid kit you’re holding in the video with brown and red cross I’m interested in that. Where did you get that? I need something a little bit bigger.

All I carry for everyday use is small flashlight, basic multitool, pepper spray, pocket planner with pen, and a small first aid kit. It covers 90%+ of what I need all carried on my person in my Duluth Trading vest.. I have a backpack in the car with more supplies that I can draw on for special circumstances. When you carry 25-35ozs of self defense you don't want to be dragging around a bunch of stuff you rarely use.

Ooooo. Titanium buckles and badges on the backpack?! What a way to make a bag more expensive for no beneficial reason that isn't just aesthetic.

Gorgeous Table-Top, bruv.

What was that sharpener at 1:45? Looked really nice and compact

Regarding that backpack: Taylor, any chance you have dogs or cats that leave hair around? If so, how's the backpack's fabric when it comes to pet hair sticking to it? As you may know, some kinds of Cordura serve as pet hair magnets. Have you any insights on this backpack's fabric in this regard? Thanks in advance for any feedback, Taylor. I'm thinking of ordering this backpack.

Where did you get that smallest red medic pouch that says ZF on it? I am looking for one that size.

what is the probe looking device with the twine wrap?

Gonna ask. When we getting the Carry Commission version of the Bum Bag XL?

I was happy to see this video popping up, thinking finally something put in a backpack for those of us whose entire hobby doesnt revolve around carrying random, overpriced titanium bits around all day... I didnt expect the entire backpack to BE edc. I mean, I put edc items in a backpack when I use a backpack to carry other stuff I need anyway. Filling the entire thing to the brim with consumerist porn kinda defeats the whoie purpose of the backpack to begin with for me at least. Im probably going to get crap for this here but im sorry, this was a miss for me.

Same philosophy with regular luggage when you travel or go on vacation. You don’t fill it to capacity when to leave home, just what you need due a couple changes which leaves you room to buy more if needed or space to put your souvenirs. Some people just throw away old clothes on vacation also which again leaves you room in the luggage due other things if needed.

Do you have a link for those big orange carabiners I see on your slings?

Hey Taylor, I remember a video you made detailing your frustrations and triumphs with a lock pick kit. I got a kit for my son for Christmas and he is noticeably frustrated, but I can't find your vid on how you managed and got through your frustrations. Could you please clue me in on where I might find it? Thanks .

Whats that sharpener with the strop

You need the griffin scout medic in your medic kit

That notpad would be better with a pencil vs. a ink pen. Unless you're sure the ink won't skip or run dry - a pencil is tried and true and can just be there indefinitely until you need. If you need to write something down. Just my opinion there are some nice mechanical pencils out there.

WHERE can I get that knife sharpener in the tool kit ?

I use a Nex Pak.

I could benefit from listing reasons you've needed some of these items. If you pack things you think are needed, do you have real world experience why they benefited you. That would help the listener when choosing items for their packs. Ex: multi-tools are cool but why have a multi-tool? Mechanics have socket sets for bolts on vehicles. That makes sense. If we're assembling bags to put what ifs in then ok pack the kitchen sink. If we pack purpose driven items that we know why we're packing them and are able to use them, that's a better video in my opinion.

Where did you get that hoodie?

Without a doubt, the most valuable item in that bag is the retro gaming handheld. It has so many uses - emergency communication, signaling, fire starting, water purification, first aid, repairs, self-defense, etc.

Love the list! The only mobile game I love is Clash of Clans. I've been playing since 2014 and still playing 😂
