Same here. I have a room by the entrance from the garage where I hang up my motorcycle gear, helmet, gloves etc, and have hooks for rain gear if it rains and they need to dry. I also have a pocket dump shelf with two trays. One for wallet, keys, knife and other pocket stuff, and another tray for my gun and mags. It's so handy being able to go to one place and find everything I need and not having to wander around or ask my wife, "Hey, honey, have you seen my pocket flashlight/wallet/keys?"

It’s good to see how a professional does it . I got it together better than I thought . Educational Stuff .

Love the updates Pat it’s a huge help and I look forward to them!

Great content and thank you for sharing some of your thoughts and methods.

Same philosophy on knife and light here, but even if unloading a pistol (or two) before placing it on that shelf will (somewhat) diminish the danger of it being used against you by a home invader, it’s still an inviting candidate for smash and grab theft by placing it next to a windowed door leading to outside. Maybe a wall mounted thumbprint safe right there is the way to go. Me, every gun but one hidden one is locked up if it isn’t on my belt for home carry or staged nearby (AR-15) or unless I’m dry firing and drilling its functions throughout the day as I work on my computer. Thanks for posting, appreciate all your content.

Like you, I keep everything on a shelf by the door I come in. Except for my pistol, it is on the night stand loaded or in the biometric safe. Love the O-ring for the light. Next trip to the hardware store.

Thank you Pat, my boys and I appreciate you and pray for you too.

This is great. I been using my night stand for my dump shelf, but with other crap on it its getting cluttered. time to get a real one right by the door.

Buck knife 345! Lock blade. Made in USA, roughly $35. Great texture on the scales. Use it every day.

FYI, Neomag now makes models with 2 magnets on it to hold magazines like Glocks & others that are plastic with a metal liner. I always had issues with the original, single magnet models not holding Glock mags well, so I'm psyched.

@@mikeossola6397 Scenario: It is nighttime, you are approached by a suspicious individual in a parking lot. It is very disorienting to suddenly and unexpectedly be flashed with a bright light at night. This allows you to gain control over the situation and figure out what they want without using any force against the other person, in case they meant you no harm. If the person was trying to hurt you, the sudden flash can briefly blind the person and give you precious seconds to quickly strike them and then boogie on out of there, hopefully without having to draw your weapon. All in all, it's another defensive tool that gives you alternate options to use.

Summer carry: Ruger LCP max in a Vedder LighTuck holster, Streamlight microstream flashlight and a Leatherman skeletool or a small folder knife. Everything else depends on color matching mostly. Like which watch and wallet I use each day varies.

great help with your vids ! I do notice your deadbolt on the door next to the breakable glass , I have replaced all my deadbolts with key on both sides , I leave a key hidden where we all know the location for emergency exit , I feel its makes it just a bit tougher for someone to get in and if they get in somewhere else it makes it harder for them to get out. Thanks for the great videos !

Great video Pat. Pretty simple stuff. And of course some good Dude Stuff. I see guys kitted out just to go to the store but being a minimalist is supper great.

On the same page. Only one difference, if the firearm is on me in my holster it is alway loaded hot. Awesome video as alway.

Rebecca?...As a woman who listens to your channel and subscribes to a similar mindset, I would be interested in what Rebecca carries for her EDC as well. I tend to carry many similar items, even when dressed a little fancier...I try to carry on the body as much as possible...I will use a carry purse only if absolutely necessary as it takes extra care to keep track of it if not strapped or hung on my body. Thanks for the excellent information!

To even have a system and thought about it puts someone way ahead of most. Your system is great. I take holster off with pistol in it and put in lockbox, then out & on. Maybe reduces chance of bullet setback from frequent rechambering same round? If I carry Appendix I like a small TDI fixed blade center line next to pistol. Just personal preferences.

Man. You have a fantastic channel....thank you for all the info. You've got a teachers soul..... Had to subscribe and like.

Love hunting and fishing , camping being outdoors period, but have children still at home and grandchildren as well so I spend alot of time working to keep everything rolling so I don't have alot of time to get out to do anything much but work, I like the stuff you put out for others to see and it's motivation for me to buy some dumbbells and start working out a little bit again and learn alot of things from you that I didn't know or just had wrong, greatly appreciated for the knowledge you share.

Thanks Pat Mac!

I live my life nowhere near like you do. But I do respect how you live your life, and makes sense given your background. Thumbs up to you brother. 👍🏻

I found that the big washer/seal hack for EDC lights is one of the slickest innovations since sliced bread. I’ve been using that method for a while. Beats having a lanyard hanging off the light that’s harder to grab and get your fingers inside under stress. Cheaper too.

My thing when it comes to knives is, knives can protect you when your already being attacked and its a secondary line of defense if you ever get separated from your firearm. No one like to deal with this scenario but it's super realistic. Especially when dealing with animal attacks.

Another great video. I’d think about doing a double cylinder deadbolt on that door if it leads directly outside. Too easy to smash and unlock so close to the edc shelf

My EDC is eerily similar! For both my G19 and G43, I like the Q series minimalist holster. One caveat to those is that when you come back from the range, they are very warm when you put the gun back in next to your body. Other than that, it would increase safety because you can clear the weapon without it coming out of the holster. I am going to get some O rings just after seeing that nifty trick. I carry a Amazon cheapo WowTac flashlight that is super tiny, but kicks out a LOT of Lumens and has a magnetic backend so I can stick it to my hood when I am working on my car.

Always enjoy learning others EDC choices! While I carry a gun every day, I also carry an IFAK. I wear slim fit pants and can’t do the ankle holsters. I’ve found that KUHL pants work perfectly, they have what they call a “stealth cell phone pocket” on the side of the pants. It’s an open top pocket that is very minimalistic and you can hardly see it. I carry a pair of micro chest seals in one, and the other one a CAT tourniquet, Celox rapid hemostatic gauze, decompression needle, and 2 pairs of nitrile gloves, all held together by ranger band. You can’t see them, they don’t make the pants bulk out like cargo pants, and I forget they’re even there. Nice to have in case something happens, because hey life happens. Chances are small that it will be from an attacker or self defense situation, far more likely to need IFAK gear than a gun in every day life: car accidents, outdoor activities, power tools, etc. Needing first aid trauma gear is far more likely than needing a gun. I carry both and am trained with both. Just my $0.02 on what works for me!
