Thanks a bunch friend! I am so flattered that my slightly OCD organization is beneficial to people. It motivates me to continue to refine my systems and improve my presentations. We need to setup a time to talk over the phone! It's been a while. Hit me up.

I've started carrying a full 72-hour GHB for work. Tier 3 stays in vehicle, a dry bag of jungle wacking & desert clothes, & a dry bag of shelter, cooking system, water filtration & food. In 1 minute tier 3 is in the back pack under tier 1 & 2, and I'm a wilderness hiker. It's made taking off for weekend kayak & hiking trips seamless. Also having action-man stuff near the surface keeps it fresh in the mind, & I'm always tweaking & improving it. Improves recreational efficiency :)

Textbook example. We watch videos like this to find some super- picky, smart person that's a wee bit obsessive on a subject, and explains it well, yet concisely. Good job.

Always the absolute best and most organized material on urban prepping there is. Please keep these coming.

Watch auto winding submariner, Light Olight s1 baton, Pen a twist tac pen Fisher space pen internals, keys Pry bar Gerber Shard, Power Thrunite c2 mini 3400, Wallet nylon thin with RFID block sleeve, Cell a blu hd1 (dual sim unlocked), and knife a Kershaw Emerson wave folder. I do add a pair of reading classes in my phone case and my polarized sunglasses (Florida) in my tier 1 though. LOL

PrepperAgenda Just for fun not serious

first time i've watched any of your vids and to be honest, i was getting a bit sick of prepping vids. non-stop knives, then some more knives and if you've just about had enough, here's a knife video with a side salad of a flashlight/torch review - with a backpack thrown in. thought this was really interesting and full of common sense - my issue is back to one of the things that chris tanner pointed out a while ago, it's highly unlikely that you'll be near the woods if anything goes wrong, but a lot of youtubers seem obsessed with 'running to the hills' and getting the kukri out. thanks a lot for this video. some really good practical stuff. just subbed by the way and am looking forward to watching your other youtube videos. one of the other problems i have with 'some' (not all by any means) prepping vids is that the reviews tend to be of things way out of the ordinary person's price range, whereas you seem to be realistic in terms of usability and affordability. great stuff thanks a lot for this - also good to see you get your kids out in the outdoors too.

Andrew Regalado That is great to hear, Andrew!

another great vid. I really like the tired system or organizing. Being a purse carrying female, I have my purse organized as a EDC. My tire 1 is a zippered wallet that can be used alone.

Looks great. For a Leatherman, I've found the Skeletool (CX) rather great, after switching from a Victorinox some years ago. The short blade, pliers, and the screwdriver cover some 99% of my needs. The only thing that I'm missing a bit is scissors. I've been carrying it nerdily in a belt holster, which nicely fits also the super-great bit set and a Led Lenser P3 flashlight. Zippos are rather annoying in that the gasoline evaporates, so it's usually been dry when I've needed it. I suppose that's not a problem if you need it daily. One useful item that I've mentioned earlier is a thin but strong string loop.

You have the best videos for all my edc and bug out stuff. You have given me great ideas thanks for all the hard work you put into your vids.

You may also want to look into a PHLster Flatpack Tourniquet Carrier to hold the CAT or SOFT-T. An ankle holster medical kit is another option to keep trauma stuff off your belt or pockets. I'm still trying to figure out which model may be best for that though.

And instead of the hated "Nutnfancy" fanny pack, I wear a light weight nylon vest w/pockets by Guide's Choise from Sportsman warehouse. My EDC shirt when I leave home is the Long Sleeve Carhartt w/Shirt Pocket EDC: Streamlight Stylus LED flashlight, Maxpedition tactical pen that uses the Fisher Space Pen Refill and a black Sharpie fine point felt point pen. and the other shirt pocket sometimes carries two CD V-742's... And my Go Bag/Get Home Bag (too small for a Day Pack) is the Maxpedition Laptop Backpack bag (set up to be VA, TSA and school friendly) that fits a 17" or smaller laptop and the large inside pocket fits Backpack DIJ Level IIIA Dyneema Armor www.man-pack.com , two moral patches-low key American Flag and an Owl Patch, three (3) Flat Pack N95 mask per TUP, IFAK, tethered to the front Large D-Ring is the Nutnfancy rape Fox40 whistle on a retractable I.D.

LearningToBePrepared Thanks for watching, Jeremy! I hope all is well.

Any thoughts of switching to a mechanical (automatic) watch? Mine loses time slowly but as long as I keep moving (and it keeps working) it should keep decent time forever. I've also looked into the citizen eco drive as a middle ground. It's my next buy.

I guess that everyone's concept of "EDC" is different. For me it is items that I take all places (locations) with me everyday. I look at my EDC as not only convenient items to have on my person (like phone, keys, multi-tool, small flashlight), but also items that I do not want to leave in my vehicle because of weather considerations. I carry a small bag with me daily... in it I carry things like all of the batteries for equipment in my vehicle get-home kit, a 2 liter water supply, battery banks, small amount of food items (foil meat products, breads, snack bars, etc), an android pad, wall charger for phone and pad. My concept is not to leave items in my vehicle that may susceptible to long duration of heat or cold. This bag comes into my workplace with me, into the church with me, and of course, back into my house at the end of the day. If I will be at a location for longer than 45 minutes, I have the bag with me. If I'm simply stopping somewhere to do a bit of shopping, or at a restaurant, etc... it can stay in the vehicle for these short durations. For me, my "EDC" always incorporates things on my person, as well as those "considered items" from my vehicle get-home kit.

Very nice video, full of lots of information.Good job. Going to make my own IFAK based on tour kit. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work. I also see that the Leatherman juiceman has been used well. Like the new one !

Like it, especially the difference/cutt off between the tiers and whether or not you carry them and how ... not entirely like my EYP and EDC divide (Empty Your Pockets vs Every Day Carry) but still the gist is there ... also like that you decided to carry a lighter.

Awesome EDC system! I think I will add a few of your suggestions. I should do my own EDC video because its been a few years since I did one and I have completely changed a lot of what I am carrying. As far as knives and multitools, I am carrying a Spyderco Para 2 in my right pocket and a Weatherman Wave clipped in my let pocket. I have a mini AAA Maratac flashlight with a very small and flat knife attached it it and each of these items has a tritium fob. The reason for the tritium is in case I lose any and all of these items in the dark, I can easily find them. I carry my smartphone in a Nite Ize horizontal holster and there is an extra flat pocket in it and in that pocket I have a flat mini trauma kit and a few flat tools in a velvet like card pocket slip. Its texture minimizes the possibility that it could slip out accidentally. I have other items on my keys too. But no charger cables and no power backup, which seems like an obvious good idea. I would like to know if the power bank can do any other double duty, like, could it power something else, other than a phone? Do they make a power bank that has a battery compatible to your Four 7's light? That seems like it might be a good idea too. But Anke might not have that cell...

Would you consider, building and selling the Altoids EDC Kit ? Looks awesome.

At 10:13 you're talking about how you like the buff hat to prevent sunburn and protect your head. During this you can see your kid with nothing on his head.. 😬 It kind of brings up something I've been thinking about a lot lately which is I need gear for more than just me.

You should make an Altoids edc and see how long you can last in the woods with it. If that be one night, two nights, three nights, or a whole week. I think that would be a good video.

Can you do a video where you show how you wear all this gear? Also for anyone interested, you can get a cheap key bar; cut it down to just one side. That got ride of a lot of the bulk on my keys. Check out the Brigade Quarter Master tweezers. They are tiny and work great.

My EDC has expanded a bit as well, but it's mostly the same as before (dump zone and stuff). but since it's winter I'm wearing a jacket that stores a bunch of stuff e.g. a small water bottle, a notepad and pen, chopsticks for any occasion, and then some. And I bought a Leatherman Micra as a small tool I can carry in places where you shouldn't carry tools let alone blades. I do want some of the stuff you have, like the altoids tin and the mini first aid kit. I can't seem to find the right parts, but I can't even find a USB stick... ah well

Terrific as usual.

A couple of points about the medical supplies you carry. First off I'd throw the CPR shield away. They're useless. I'd also do a little reading about the use of hemostatic gauze and the tourniquet. The need to be properly applied to work effectively. Improper use could actually be detrimental to the person you're trying to help.

Always look forward to your EDC vids. Do you still have the mini-magnets glued to your Altoids kid items to avoid rattle?

I'm surprised you haven't moved to the ThruNite C2 battery pack/charger for more versatility. It's basically the same size as that Anker model but has replaceable batteries (one 18650 or two 16340), so it can be used to charge USB devices and as a battery charger for flashlight cells. You're probably in the middle of a 4 month test period before you put it in the regular EDC line up ;-) Amazing EDC, as expected, BTW.

I love Zippos but I hate refilling them. Might I suggest a butane insert for your Zippo. You don't loose fluid do to osmosis so it'll always be ready. Just search for "butane insert" in Amazon and any will work.
