I hope you all enjoy this latest installment of the Urban Altoids EDC Kit (Version 4.0)! Make sure you check out the PDF that matches up to this video: bit.ly/2L9ZoHe. Special shout out to musician Peter Adams for creating the MacGyver theme song knock-off and Terry Huddleston for the artwork on the sticker. Stay tuned for information on how you can purchase one of these custom kits. We're trying to get the cost lower than what I would cost to purchase all of the individual items for retail. Thank you all for your support of my channel! ~Cliff

Thank you so much, Tom!

One of my favorite EDC videos thus far. Thorough, comprehensive, concise, and chock full of ideas to glean even if I don't sign up for the complete "Altoid tetris" affair. You "earned your money" on this one, and another subscriber.

I really appreciate these videos. Your previous kits inspired me to make my own kits. I don’t own a car and travel by bike, scooter, bus, and foot a lot, so I put a whole first aid kit in an Altoids and it has been clutch. I keep it in a slightly larger things I need on the go kit. Your kits always inspire me to tweak mine and keep them efficient!

Great to see an update to the Urban Altoids EDC kit. It's one of my favourite kits of yours. Also when you start selling them please consider international shipping

This is kind of surreal, I’ve been watching your ASK videos for years. I remember watching the first versions while running on a treadmill during lunch breaks back at my job in Iowa years ago... now I’m watching this at a barber shop waiting for a haircut in Florida. Nice kit

It's ridiculous to me how handy my kit has been over time. I really appreciate the ideas and list to order.

as always crazy Tetris , neat freak , borderline obsessive , very cool in all

Urban Prepper, you're awesome! I've been binge watching your videos and getting some great ideas for improving my own preps. Thanks!

Thanks TheUrbanPrepper for the clips and especially for the attached pdf document it makes it way easy to find items

Wow, you've put a tremendous amount of thought into this latest kit. Guess that's what happens when you're noodling around a concept for 10 years! Thank you for sharing. My only substantive comments are: 1) a white Bic mini has the advantage of allowing you to see the remaining fuel level as it's semi translucent, and 2) you and your viewers might also enjoy another micro gadget/prepping channel: MeZillch. He also scratches that OCD/MacGuyver itch that I find so enticing!

Love watching your videos. Great updated EDC Altoids tin and loving that leather pouch. I've downloaded the PDF thank you. Can't wait to get my hands on one or two of your stickers. TWO!! Yep, I need one for desk wall.😉👍🏻👍🏻

The intro and outro were enough for me to like this video!!! And of course, is one of your videos Cliff, can't dislike a TUP video with such high production value!! Hope you're doing well, take care!!!

I'm also excited to see the edc tin videos. Love the MacGyver theme song.

Very Cool, I was very happy to see that there was an update to your kits. I do enjoy watching them and seeing what you come up with. I would love to see new mini and standard EDC kits for non-Urban situations.

Great guide! The accompanying PDF with links to much of what's in your kit was a HUGE help in tracking down parts I wanted to add to my own kit. Thanks!

First off love the theme music in the background (me and my dad are big fans of the orginal). Second you got me into making these tins and i love it. Thanks for the tip on where to get the magnets big help. Keep on keepin on man.

Excellent video & content. Many thanks for sharing this with us and for your EDC passion that shines through on your channel. keep up the great work. 👍

Love the return of the lighter. I carry one inspired by your earlier versions and may/will have to update now!

Always a pleasure to see your new ideas in action.

I love the MacGyver theme in the intro. Cool, video! I was waiting for the next version of the tin update.

Love to watch this every few months 😊

on the first day of the zombie break out, I saw a male dead on the road side, clutching on an unopened Altoids tin, guess he really likes sweets.

THANK YOU! my 12 year old adores MacGyver old and new and when I showed her this video she immediately wanted to watch it! She has been on and off with prepping, but after my wife got on board, she got more into it. I love the pouch you have! On a personal note, my initiation to prepping is watching Mad Max 3 and there's an inset shot of Gibson's fingernails. They were filthy and long. I've been a big believer in having clippers with me at all times since then.

As expected, that's the most refined and expertly done version yet. Very nice!

I've watched a lot of these altoid edc kits videos and by far this one is the best!

I loved the kit as well as the beginning :D MacGyver always was my favorite movie character. Keep making awesome vids!

Excellent Prepper Tetris Skills . Very good choices for a Non government collapse suburban areas. Or natural Disaster. Nail clippers prevent future injuries and infections. Anyone insulting them are not true preppers.

I live in Caracas, Venezuela, I have been following you for years, you have an excellent channel. I remember when in your EDC version 2.1 you talked about our country, and believe me when I tell you that the conditions here have not improved, on the contrary, they have worsened. Certainly an EDC like that is very useful for us, unfortunately for us it is extremely difficult to acquire the items to assemble it, our salary is only about 3 to 10 dollars a month. Congratulations again for your channel. I wish you success, regards.

Always loved your EDC tins and videos explaining. Based most of mine off of yours but can't wait to buy one from you! Thank you!

I recently had the idea that another option for a pocket kit is a cigarette case. They’re similar in size and some of them even have build in lighters. I also just think they’re cooler looking. Plus having the items vertical rather than horizontal should make it easier to get stuff in and out. I’m not sure if they’ll hold quite as much, but it seems like a decent trade-off to me.

When you start selling these I will buy some for my cars, man bag, buddies. Funny story I made a couple of these (my version) and sent one to my buddy. He needed a safety pin and remembered there was one in the kit I sent him. He called me to say thanks that the kit came in handy when he least expected it. Your a star Cliff, shine on.

Thank you for all the great content! I am learning a lot! Love your kit videos!

Fantastic!! Each version just gets better!

Great idea to use magnets to hold everything in place - thanks for sharing. I'm not superstitious, so I always carry a white mini-BIC to see, how much fuel is in there and I detach the child-safe clip. To help prevent accidental release, I grind the release lever, 'til it's not sticking out any more - and put on a cover of small innertube, great for fire starting. Instead of nail clippers, which leave a sharp edge that I always catch on something, I carry a nail file, ground to size - if you use it wet, you can touch up your blades too. In the medical/MISC- compartment I carry at least 4 water purification tablets and in the tin one or two 1 quart plastic bags.

Hi. Great work! I suggested some time ago, that adding a hand-sewing needle and few feet of a strong thin thread (which can still be used in regular needles in regular sewing machines), and a couple of shirt buttons would be a very nice addition and will not take up any space at all, you can keep them in the MISC tin. Plus I find that keeping a 1 meter paper-based measuring tape from ikea very nice, which will go nicely in this tin , or your wallet. Oh btw Nail Clippers are must for humans. I don't understand people insulting them or you for having a nail clipper. I always have one in my pocket/keychain. Even a simple thing as nail clipper has multiple uses. Also useful to keep the nails of my kids in groomed state. Also helpful in cutting a slice of skin off if there is a shin sliver along the skin. fI also use it to file/smooth out broken nails in case a it breaks accidentally during some work, and is causing the regular annoyance. I also think that selling these tin kits would not be a great idea financially (or even time wise) , as there are very few buyers. Besides, you have shown how to make it ourselves and have open-sourced the list of items, so people can simply buy the stuff themselves and can build one themselves, that would be actually more cost effective for them. Here is the link to strong sewing thread: www.stoffogstil.no/sytilbehor/trad/bjornetrad-150-m

Your belt pouch is meticulously made.What a beauty!!

There's always room for a razer blade:) also, for Urban EDC you could switch to the 4mm bits & fit more of them. Wiha sells that 1/4 -> 4mm adapter. I do agree on the nail clipper; I've carried the Swiss army nail clipper for years! Also, I like to carry a bit of that poster putty stuff & a threaded needle. Finally, I found a small wallet that fits Altoids at Staples.

Very best EDC video in a very loooooong time - and it works with magnets - and a gazillion extra kudos for the musical theme - THE best theme for EDC come to think of it - for those in the know - enjoyed very much

.I would just write to say thank you. Thank you for giving the best EDC advice on the net. I have learned such a huge amount from your excellent uploads to KZread and PDF documents.

I'm stealing some of your EDC ideas and I'm absolutely stealing the "runs in your jeans" joke. Good work.

The belt clip kills me 😂 I do carry one of these often. I have three young kids and anytime I go to an amusement park or anywhere for that matter what I'm going to be out all day I carry one that has things I may need, a couple of pieces of toilet paper, a few different types of medicine, a Gerber dime, a lighter, and a few other things. It's a super great idea and comes in handy almost every single time I have it. I also have one that's quite a bit bigger that I keep in my backpack that has things like water purification tablets, snare wire, fishing hooks, a thermal blanket, etc and is more geared towards actual survival. I'm pretty sure though, the first time ever saw this idea was on your channel a few years ago. Keep up the good work.

Retired Contractor, 2 x kids in college, I always have a tool belt in the truck that will do most things, car/boat/whatever in an emergency. But have often found myself without my truck, kids dorm rooms etc, where I am headed to HD because I am unarmed for the task. Your combo screwdriver/bits/MOST IMPORTANT the ones that you include that fit IKEA, and most other assembly furniture would have saved me many times over. Personally I would would just add a #1 phillips bit (works on lots of furniture/chairs etc) and a few more torx bits. Very nice Video, thank you.

One of the best I have seen.

Love the music! Perfect intro!

You've definately put a lot of thought into that, thanks for sharing I'm going to use a couple of your ideas

Nail clippers, sanitizer and dental floss are probably the only hygiene items I always make sure are ready to go. All three keep you disease free ish. All three have multi function. All three serve morale. PS did you know that Swiss Army makes a pretty cool multi - smal nail clipper, scissor, blade, tweezer and pick pocket tool? It’s about the size of a 1/4” thick USB drive - might fit perfectly in there and save you some space?

Love it! Keep up the good work. Never bored with edc 😁

I choose to believe that you did the bit on the Imodium all in one take and with a complete straight face.

Loved the intro music! Great kit.
