11 CRUCIAL EDC Items Every Homesteader/Farmer Should Carry 

Knipex pliers are the best! Spend the extra and get the push button adjust model. With a pair of cobra pliers and a pliers wrench you can take apart the world.

"Also in park" made me LOL!

...maaan, you got to try it with that truck in neutral dude...😜 Great video as always. What my son showed me with one of those little flashlights, is you can clip it to the bill of your hat; and then you have an instant headlamp. Carry it all the time, and if I'm down on the land away from my house, and it gets dark - I can just keep going... 🙏🙏🙏

Since you are working in remote locations, I would suggest you check out refuge, medicals slik kit and a soft T tourniquet as part of your EDC. Also, I would put a zip tie underneath the switch on your bic lighter to keep it from being depressed.

You can cut and place old garden hose pieces on your channel locks to avoid marring surfaces.

Great EDC lineup William! For the BIC lighter, I have wrap with Gorilla tape, it works great for quick fixes for patch work or a fire starter. God Bless!

A whistle can signal help much more of a distance and works when you become horse. I Carrie a Tops one.

Love this vid!!! I would recommend if you are cutting cord to tie things off a lot to carry a hank of number 18 or 36 bankline, it’s much cheaper and very strong still and also weather resistant. 550 is better for reusable cordage. I carry a 6 foot piece of 550 cord with a delrin plastic toggle to use it like a zip tie and it’s very handy.

I'd be interested in any tips you have for sharpening the mora knives. IDK what I did but I haven't been able to sharpen it well.

I have a multi opener that can even open hard plastic on toys. I mostly open packages and boxes with it. I carry a few medical items I got from In a Pickle. The most important thing I carry is water. I pass out when I am dehydrated. The bags I carry the most have water bottle/umbrella pockets on the sides. Before them I kept losing my water bottles.

Thanks for the info about those pliers. Will definitely get a set. My hands are losing their grip as I get older. I second the person who mentioned carrying an emergency whistle. I also carry a super cheap Walmart multi tool. I kept losing multi tools so I bought the cheapest they had, something like $15. I figured if I was going to have to keep buying a new one it better be cheap. Funny thing is, it's been a few years and I haven't lost it yet! I find that mostly what I use it for is the knife which doesn't lock into place, so might switch it out for just a knife instead. Sometimes they have good ones at the thrift shop for a cheap price. Also I just bought some orange Paracord with a thread that glows in the dark. Not sure why that would be useful but it sounded cool. Putting that on the handle of my garden hand tools to hang them up for storage and make them easier to find.

For appendix carry, after trying a number of holsters I like the Tier 1 Concealed. I've used the Xiphos v2 for the past 2.5 years with my glock 23 (same size as your glock 19, but in .40 cal). Thanks for the recommendation on the Knipex alligator pliers. I use pliers so much, I don't know why I haven't carried them yet. For knife, I carry my tanto-shaped blade from Benchmade that was gifted to me while I was active duty.

I carry a Ruike 108, Leatherman, Buck 303 Cadet, and an Old Timer 194ot

Great presentation. You forgot your most important thing to have with you at all times. Your common sense! I know. That should be a given. You just haven't met my neighbor. LOL. You're doing a great job in your explanations. God bless you all. P.S. word development for your little girl ... Wu Tang. LOL.

If you like knives. Idk if you have one already and they are not expensive at all but I love my Mora . Had it for years!

I use my bradford guardian 3 with m390 steel and my benchmade osborne 940 with a free p4 n a small knipex

The Retekess PR15 is a simple, cheap micro AM/FM/NOAA Weather Band radio for those who need quick weather updates. In the 1970s in Louisiana I carried a small transistor AM/FM receiver during any outdoor activities, especially fishing, hunting and camping to detect approaching storms, plus a real glass magnifying glass lens as a last resort for starting fires. I still keep magnifying glasses. Binoculars can start fires too. An AM radio can be put on a "quiet" static part of the band and will detect approaching thunderstorms in the form of static bursts long before thunder can be heard. This likely saved my life several times. Calibrate a smaller, weaker AM receiver by checking the static bursts against radar images of storms as they approach. The NOAA tower/cell phone/radio services may not be functioning all the time, especially after severe weather like hurricanes, but your AM radio will still detect lightning.

Hiya! Enjoyed your video and just subbed ya! I’m on the west coast on the Canadian side and of the border, so instead of a firearm….I’ve got my harmonica. Usually a hohner crossover or a hohner 364. I look forward to checking out more of your vids. Cheers

Since I found your channel a few weeks ago, I found your dad’s channel and now I hear you’re recently married and have a little baby! How exciting and congratulations. Being a grandma I love getting to know the families behind the YT channels and I look forward to the cameo you mentioned 😊

Please make more EDC videos. This is AWESOME🎉

Thank You William! God Bless Y'all ❤

Great vision. I enjoyed watching how you think and what you carry. I guess you will find speedgoat or mini speedgoat made by Josh at MKC useful. Maybe above all you have. They produce batches in Magnacut. 🔪

Very informational! Love your explanations. Working around here we have HK, hori hori knives(I know-not the same purpose), snips, and I try to keep a pen on me for writing and emergency medical use. We remember better when actually writing VS typing/texting. Been wondering about that baby girl!!

Glocks have safeties. Also I love Duluth pants! How do you like white river as a company? Also where’d you find that knipex??

Good vid. That's a good belt attachment for your knife..going to use that

spyderco endura 4 is my EDC.

Armatus carry sheaths are awesome, I've bought one for every fixed blade I've ever carried

Not so much new information for me, but i am into that stuff BUT i really like your video a lot and enjoyed watching it, good informations - keep going.

Kabar mule and leatherman signal has been my go to edc for years now. Mule is a great blade with a fantastic lock back on it. I've batoned 2.5 in branches with it and not had a problem.

Great measures as a purchasing guide. And the frogs are agreeing with you all the way. What about a first aid consideration? I never go out without a small selection of home cut bandades impregnated with Bedadine( Iodine) tincture in a waterproof, mini, enclosed covering. I haven't used it all that often but it makes me feel prepared.

I hope all is well William. Thank you for another video. I appreciate what you do. I’m 24 and am slowly transitioning to growing my own food and relying on myself. I am located in the OKC area. Eventually (in at least a few years) I will move to my family’s land in Ringwood which is 5ish acres of forest with a creek. It has been vacant for countless years. I’m not ready for one now but how much would a consultation cost for you to travel near Ringwood Oklahoma? Peace and blessings to you and yours! Thanks again for your work! You are an inspiration to me!

Would love to see you compare the Caper and Guardian in a use comparison video

Awesome pocket dump. Not to be that guy, but, the K is silent ie Nigh Pex. Lol. Amazing tools that use german steel. I have a lot of their tools and yet to be disappointed.

I don’t often remember to carry such stuff since moving to the city years ago, besides what is needed for city living. If I am leaving the city for a day trip or some other thing then I try to remember pack some important things

The Esee Izula (shorter handle than the Izula II) works well for me since I made my own kydex sheath. It's slimmer and lighter. I carry it appendix but a little more on my left side (about 10-11 o'clock) so it's kind of appendix and kind of cross-draw. But that leaves me room to appendix carry a CCW on my right side at 1 o'clock. I went to the Leatherman Free P4 over a year ago and it's about perfect for me. The only other thing I would add is that I EDC a SWAT tourniquet. It's a little thick, but it folds up into the back pocket to still be thinner than the wallets a lot of guys carry. I'm a believer that if you carry a way to make holes in somebody you should carry a way to plug holes in somebody. And I went with the SWAT, even though it's not the best because it is the easiest to carry and it may work on little kids (I have 3) better than the CAT or SOF-T.

As far as knives go I just carry around the Letherman Skeletool. Doesn’t have too any extra tools that I never use. Just pliers, a screwdriver and a knife.

Emerson is known for the wave for deployment as you demonstrated. Their knives are heavy duty. Also, consider knives with LC200n blade steel, especially for outdoor use.

I used to carry a Leatherman Skeletool CX but they kept getting hung up on fences so I'd lose them. I carry a Mora now but I like the idea of appendix carry. I also tore the couch really bad one day when the Skeletool clip caught the fabric when I sat down. Wife wasn't too happy about that. -Mike

Interesting, I always have a ranchers pocket knife on me and.... are you ready? A pair of plain finger nail clippers you will be amazed how handy they can be. I would suggest Bill's silver grippers tweezers check them out they are small and be carried on a key chain or lanyard. One last thing consider a handy walkie, GMRS and/or ham. Thanks for sharing Ole Texas Coot

Creely blades mako fixed blade! He has different steels but I carry my magnacut one every day, love the blade so much

You are right about Gerber. I did a lot of horseback riding in the past and bought one. I could never keep it sharp.

Love the Gadsden patch! I was just thinking about a 'Tread On Them' one with the killdozer just today!

Kydex holster - way better for consistency with handgun Gerber mp600 better than leatherman Malkoff small flashlight Fixed blade for sure These items I’ve had the same ones on self for 10 years of hard use . Gerber broke twice warranty is awesome.

Guess I’m adding one of these to the list of presents for my husbands birthday. First is the Bradford Guadiana 3 , and now I need to find out what he needs from what you’ve shown today. Can we get back to digging in the first please; this is getting expensive for ne. 😂

I like Gerber knives. U gotta check which ones u get, some are made in China but some are made in USA

Best knife to get in Europe are Opinel. They are from France and quite cheap but have good quality. So you don't have to bother taking a lot of care for the knife. Also you need two hands to open them, which makes them lagal to carry everywhere in most countries.

Try good video and talk on edc! Thanks for sharing! Interesting channel!

Some nice knifes. I have a couple Kershaw (USA made) Launch, with auto open, then a few Chinese made Kershaw. Good video, we need to be ready for anything.

I think morakniv and hultafors make great work knives. They're tough and cheap.

Check out the phlster enigma holster. It lets you appendix carry your Glock and still carry your knife the way you currently carry it.

Check out the Bradford guardian 3.2

great vid man!

I am pretty sure Bradford sells kydex sheaths for their knives.

I picked up a kydex and a ulti clip for the Bradford I carry it in my cargo pocket someone sells them for 20$

Do you have any recommendations on plant identification or wild foraging? I was observing my family’s vacant land today and really wanted to know how to identify trees and other plants for future access gaining projects and for propagation at my current home

Smith & Wesson 1st Response pocket knife SWFRS BOX

I should carry paracord but i can never figure out how to keep it bundled neatly. It always turns into a tangled mess.

You didn’t mention your groove life belt.

I seem to have a knife fetish too. I ha e a hard time edc them though. I can't find a comfortable le way to carry. Curious about the vanish holster too or one like that would allow me to carry all on a walk or run (gun, knife, phone, etc).

Your knife would be an illegal in the UK. This could be solved by rounding the point so that it cannot be used as a stanbing weapon. Yes it makes it less functional, but equally in the UK the only people who can routinely own firearms are farmers. The UK recognises that certain types of weapons are needed so single shot rifles & shotguns can be held. But you must apply for & carry with you a licence and only certain guns like Shotguns can be carried outside a storage container. And shotguns can only be carried breech open and unloaded

Dang - was totally digging you till you trashed the mp600 - then I realized you don’t have a clue on harduse . All other Gerber stuff sux I agree . Mp600 is hero worthy

Germans don't pronounce the K. So knipex is pronounced Nipex

Apparently I have beed banned by the youtube algorithm for speaking about people having rights to due process & the law. Apparently i can only say that I am a survivor & that if you watch the film survivor avilable for free on youtube you can find out what happened to me & others.

We all know what they say about men with wide/thick hands... 🤠

Seriously, I don't understand what it is with you US folks and carrying guns. Can someone explain to me the reasoning of the "freedom" to carry any gun at any time even without having any education or psychological clearing? Every sociopath can get one that doesn't make shit safer

Yeah but I bet you can’t carry Lizzo

I think you would like hogue knives. Made in America and they have a great selection.

Thankyou for your EDC it's super useful. And also best wishes to your family. Never forget to tell your kids how proud of them you are. Self confidence is a huge gift to give your kids a d especially if you can teach them to experience en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Mudita
