Great video! :-) Recommendation: never let any of the 5 C's be out of sight. Always strictly ensure that the bottle returns to your bag immediately after each use. Murphy will pay a visit when you least expect it. Survival, by definition, is being caught by surprise by an adverse circumstance. If you're always ready you don't ever have to get ready. ❤
In that lighter do not forget to put extra flints for it in the bottom where you fill it. Very good job with the video, and commentary. Great job showing everything and its use
Hey thanks for these tips! Someone could probably build an entire channel based on the infinite uses of duct tape. And those who need a basic tool library should always have plenty at home, as well as in the car or truck and emergency stash tool bad--it's invaluable!
You have done an awesome job putting together an EDC bag. If I could make a suggestion, give your bag and all things cloth a coating of permethrin to kill ticks, spiders, and just bugs in general. This along with a good insect repellent to use on your skin can make a HUGE difference in comfort if you are caught out for a night trying to get to your long term bag. Also, since you said you go from city to woods, a small tool kit may weigh a lot but a simple pry bar, a set of lineman’s pliers, if you can and practice a bit some lock picks. I am not suggesting anyone break the law or anything, but in a situation you do what you have too to get home safe.
Oh yeah, and the ski mask can be the difference between a comfy night resting against a tree or wall and a cold night with only the poncho for a blanket.
New subscriber here , love doing things outside and always interested in learning new things , I also just watched What is in A bug out bag, but couldn't comment you have it turned off . I could see from that you're really knowledgeable so was long after I subscribed and I was hitting the notifications bell. Hope you have a great week
Hello from out west. Useful “some ..things” In here :) . I like how multi functional a buff is. Maybe consider something like paracord in for shelter related option which could be supplemented in with said dry bag and biviy bag. Take CaRe
Hiya, lovely to see a female view on EDC. Just a couple of points, do not use tweezers to remove ticks, it can leave the head behind. Tick removers are really cheap and tiny so if you are worried about ticks then pick a couple up. Salt for minerals is important but you need something like Celtic sea salt not table salt.
Great video. Ignore the hecklers. I have family that always pokes fun at me when I grab my day pack/EDC pack, but when something happens. Who do they go to. Yep, me. Then I laugh at them.
I'm a nomad in Appalachia TN, technically I have no address or house and live out of my pack and car, I have a 49 liter pack, I have a sleeping bag and foam pad, medical supplies, water purifier, minor tools, msr 2 liter pot with lid and gasifier wood stove, compass, 200 ft of Paracord, fishing line, fishing hooks and reusable split shots, 2 tarps, Pancho, pack towel, magnesium rod, 8 inch knife, change of clothes, thermal pants and shirt, hoodie and jacket, gloves and beanie, head lamp, hygiene supplies, compass, rain cover for pack, 1.5 liter water bottle. I do have an assortment of things I carry on my person at all times in case I somehow get separated from my pack, but considering I live out of my pack I just carry everything with me at all times, all together without food or water my gear is about 30 lbs, unless I grab my tent which puts it close to 40 lbs, and I also have a take down recurve bow but have to carry that on a separate strap if I had to actually bug out
Yep, I’m still looking for that special “purse” 🤪 😂 Good to see women actually interested in prepping I’ve been doing it my entire life Basically the way I was raised by my grandparents Remember bugging out is your last option ✌️🇺🇸
Thank you! And that you're right, also not every scenario requires you to bug out! I think you'll like by bugging in and bugging out video, once it is released! :)
I’m a girl too, I’ve been into prepping for years, I think as females we do it naturally, especially once we have kids, all that carrying around extra clothing, food, first aid for the children. But trying to find that special purse! Someone needs to start making female EDC type bags, not just all black and tactical looking.
@@snapdragon2441and I find that most women are not receptive to the prepping lifestyle So you are ahead of the game That being said based on my training, knowledge and experience you would be better served by a bag that doesn’t look tactical at all It will make you blend in and move through crowds easier without being noticed or singled out for any reason So, in that case and if you follow that, there are a plethora of female designed hiking bags you can choose from Just make sure sure you have the compartments, build quality, zipper quality and size you require And make sure you try it on for lumbar support and chest and waist straps ✌️
Great to be prepared!! Like the ski mask idea. I always carry a neck gator but I think I will upgrade to a mask as well. It gets awfully cold up here in northern BC !!
Even tho the Leatherman is stainless steel they will still rust, I have several of them and they all do if you pocket or belt carry it. Not a major deal just keep up on maintenance, and it should be fine. 👍
@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548 very true! I learned that, mine has a few rust spots. I like stainless steel cause it's tough! Thanks for your comment, it's great knowledge for others :)
Interesting. I like it, but I have a few questions. I'm not trying to knock you down, I just want to understand you more. How heavy is your bag? And if you had to walk with it, how far would you have to travel on foot? Also, have you done it before? Also, why a water bottle and not a water bladder? Oh, and how many ounces is your water bottle?
Yes, no worries! My bag is about 35 lbs! I carry this bag every day and take it for hikes and walks in the woods, so I guess you can say I've trained myself to carry the weight. The reason I choose I water bottle is because this is uninsulated stainless steel. Which means I can boil water in it if need be, which I great for killing harmful bacteria.
It's good to see women prepper it's only a very few keep going on your preparedness Journey never give up I've been prepping since 2008 I'm still prepping to this day make sure you keeps try to practicing survival skill and practice first aid skills
Great video! If I may suggest just a few items for your IFAK, Individual First Aid Kit. A tourniquet, a Israeli bandage and a 4'' Ace bandage/elastic bandage. All super light weight and a must for EDC bags. The ace bandage can be used to splint, wrap an ankle, as a sling, filter debris in water, as a temporary belt and many other things. Been doing this for 30 years before it "prepping" ever became popular. Your ski mask is a great item, I carry a shemagh which like your ski mask can also filter water, carry items as a makeshift hobo pack, sling...ect. Thank you for the video! One other suggestion, a fixed blade knife. It does not need to be large, I carry the ESEE Izula 2 and it has a blade length just under 3'' and weighs 3.2 ounces and 5.2 with sheath.
Old retired guy here. I walk my dog daily. Last year we got up to over 1,100 miles. I carry a pack while walking the dog. Up to 4 liters of water, dog bowl, knee and ankle wrap, spare shoelaces, mechanics gloves, spare socks, weather appropriate spare clothing, bandana, hat in summer, scarf, neck gaiter, knit hat in winter, three ways to make fire, compass, minor first aid kit, paper, pen, pocket knife, diamond 600 grit sharpener, straps for carrying yard sale purchases, poncho, flashlight, diamond sharpener, mylar space blanket, dog crap bags, black tape, cord, spare eyeglasses, multi bit screw driver, pliers and adjustable wrench and snacks for the two of us. With the exception of the mylar space blanket and the first aid kit I've used all of it. The cord and tools I've used to help others. I've given away one winter hat. On my belt my cell phone and a kubotan. Always a concealed carry, wallet, cash. The pack started as a couple bottles of water and dogs bowl. The rest got added over time. The first year I wasn't well known in town and had 4 different women stop me to offer me water, dog food and clothes and cash twice. After four years many people know me and the dog, stop and talk, wave or give the dog a treat.
