Crazy genius ! My EDC wallet is very similar. Usually never more than a $20 though. I have the navy issued can opener from a friend (1979) a nail file (1987) and a pair of folding scissors that have never been confiscated (1977) Reading glasses added (2019) I also have a thin tape measure my dad gave me. Now I need to add the one poop bag for the recently inherited 3 legged senior pup. And I love the idea of having a separate "throw at ya" wallet ! Hubby wants the travel chopsticks. KEEP THE TIPS COMING Gadget Girl !
Wanda, you really are my soul sister! Love it! Wish you could see the smile on my face! Someday will have to get a group of people together that think a life like this and to share all of our gadgets together! It’s funny because my kids used to call me Inspector gadget!
@@TheoryofSimple your kids know you well, you just have a more 🌻stylish trench coat ~ I always said my mom could be the lady on "Let's make a deal" that has everything in her bag. She always carried a clothespin on travels & always found multiple uses. Now I'm that mom, just in a tiny space. Look forward to meeting up one day !
@@TheoryofSimple I was on a plane, more than ten years ago, with a really tiny Kipling bag and I had literally every single thing my colleagues needed, nail file to protein bar … what a pity that bag is no more in production 😊
@@fralencemelograno i know! It is a great size! Perfect for us mini preppers! Thank you for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
The P-38 Can Opener was issued to me in the military when I was assigned to the 2nd Armored Division. I carried mine for years and lost it. Never thought of checking on Amazon. Getting a few as little gifts for my Battle Buddies (close military friends…more like family.)
@@TheoryofSimple Mini Bic lighter, tiny Swiss Army knife, mini sewing kit, four quarters, antiseptic wipe, tiny antibiotic cream, two band aids, lip balm, large and small safety pins, paper clip, and bobby-pin. All in a really small Stasher bag.
Well I haven’t done a specific video on kitchen in a bag but I do go over some of these items in my packing for a month in a carry-on video. I think I covered some of it in my pack for a week in a bag under your seat video. Maybe I should do a complete video on just my kitchen in a bag! That might be my next poll!
@@TheoryofSimple best kitchen in a bag in my opinion starts with a trangia cook set or a trangia burner small cross bar trivet and a stanly two cup cookset:) and of course a couple of small leak proof bottles of metholated spirits for the burner, pluss you can fill the trangia spirit burner and it wont leak. i also recoment a mini set of stainless steel tongs to control stuff while using the burner , snuff flame out etc and know how to use it and safty etc.
@@TheoryofSimple oh yeah def not for air travel maybe empty and you would have to find spirit at destination ..but man they are great for car or even home if power out or picnics
I am so impressed at your ability to think about everything. What you have in your wallet are functional items. Thank you for the inspiration. The can opener is genius!
LMAO… I just moved into a new apartment and I wanted to thank friends for helping. We were having a taco dinner with all the sides. Got the can of black beans down , but, couldn’t find my can opener! So my friend said she had one in her car! What did she bring in? I asked “where’s the can opener?” !! And she showed me her dad’s army can opener!! So …….NOT CRAZY!! 🤣😂🤣😂
YES!! Love this! So small to carry but so good to have when you need it! Hope you get your EDC together so tou can be prepared too! Thank you for watching and commenting and your feedback! 🙂
The can opener is pure genius! Many years ago a friend told us he always traveled with canned soup in his checked bags. He made trips to fairly remote locations and said many times he would just fill the bathroom sink with the hottest water he could manage to heat the can before opening it. I think I need to order these can openers myself and tuck them away just in case.
Yes! It’s such a small item that can replace a very large item and be very helpful so it’s just worth having a few of these around. I have one of those fancy can opener is that you turn it and it pops off the lid and I swear I have to take it three times around the can to get it off! This little canna but it works every time and I wouldn’t be without it!
ihave the mini like you have but im thinking to swap it out for the aussie ones with the small spoon on the back end.. seems i always wish i had a spoon when im out
I know, right! When I was younger I didn’t understand why people had glasses all over the house and now that I’m older I need reading glasses I get it! These have save me a couple of times when I’ve been in the grocery store trying to read ingredients on a package! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
Eunice, brilliance on display!!!! Love the glasses, when you took them out I almost fell off my couch! The can opener is so ingenious it is almost disgusting! Ah, my mom would have loved you and your ever crafty, practical "think outside ALL THE BOXES" brain! 💯. Keep up the great work! Best wishes always, Lori
Oh my gosh Lori! that is the best compliment! I have learned to look at things differently for example a bag or purse is a vessel to hold things and it doesn’t matter what it’s holding if I want to use it as a packing cube or an electronics holder or whatever I just try to figure out what I can use it for besides what it intended purpose is! I wish I could’ve met your mom‘ I bet she and I could’ve had some fun putting together some of these EDC videos! Thanks again for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on all my videos! 🙂
Me too! As a matter fact it makes me crazy to be unprepared and frustrated when I know I could’ve prepared myself for something and even though you can’t prepare for everything it’s just nice to know that you can reduce some of the pain points in a uncomfortable situation! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
Yeah! I found it really easy to use. When you first look at it it looks a little confusing but once you get it it’s so easy to use. I have less trouble with that than my regular can opener at home!
Thank you so much! My son says I’m a pack rat! But I tell him whenever you need something I always have it and you’re pretty happy. I’m a pack rat then.🤣
How about Crazy Genius🤣. You could be called worse! I seriously enjoy your creative mind and all the cool stuff you carry! I have a small pair of readers that I got off amazon that is SUPERZ thin and just kinda clip on my nose. You are AWESOME!🥰
Love this! You are a crazy genius lol. Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Of course you carry what you wished you'd had in the past, even a can opener. I don't need readers because I wear glasses, but that folding pair is genius. And I have that tiny little folding phone easel! It works great! I would love to see all of your multi tools, with functions and which ones you can take carry on. I enjoy all of your videos, and click on them as soon as they pop up in my subscription feed. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much! I was like you and I always carried a Swiss Army knife or some sort of multitool of the knife until you couldn’t do it anymore so now that’s why I carry a couple of different things and one of them has a removable blade, so that way I can still carry it with me while I’m traveling😊💕
Genius! Cudos on the eye glasses and phone stand. Can opener and nail file is good..could be weapons. Every thing else is pretty much what I have plus I carry am tube container with 3 wooden matches! 😂 take care!
You are absolutely correct those things like my nail file and the can opener could technically be used for a self-defense item. Since I carry a tiny little lighter on my keychain I don’t carry any matches but heck they’re small enough I might just stick a couple in there!
Been there done that. Your multi tool or a screw driver works in a pinch. Just need a to tap the top of the handle hard enough to punch into the lid working around the lid. It just takes more work. I grew up with that can opener. I missed it when in lost mine. You are smart to carry it with you.
Thank you! Yes! You can open it with about any sharp object, it may take some work and be messy! This little opener is so tiny and opens it so easy that it is just so convenient when you need it😊🙏❤️
Hi Jennifer! especially these days when there’s just nothing in these hotel efficiencies and sometimes an Airbnb things go missing! Where to be prepared than Hangry! 🙂
You are not crazy. I just ordered a same Shelly can opener for the same reason this morning. How funny to see that you carry one too. Keep up the great videos.
Hi Virginia! Great minds think alike! It’s one of those things that it’s so small why not bring it because if you had to buy one it’s so large and bulky and these days expensive that this is a no-brainer for me! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
Finally! I love the eyeglasses.. I need one. I already followed your purse edc, and my bag became lighter yet I survived a week with everything that I put in it. And you're not crazy. If shtf anywhere, anytime, you will be the first to survive. 😊
Girl, you are a certified GENIUS!!!!! I Love the way you've organized your wallet and I'm gonna follow your lead. I used to carry a larger purse, but now I have downsized to smaller crossbodies, which require a small wallet. Thank you so much for your "genius"!!!
Thank you so much 😊 Some people call me genius and some people call me crazy! But I’ll tell you what, anytime someone needs something I usually have it and they’re so glad that I have it with me😊
Genius Eunice- going hungry is whats crazy 😝 One of my very favorite EDC is my mini-swiss army knife. It has scissors, a Real nail file, small knife, tweezers, a plastic tooth pick, laser light and a flat head screwdriver, in a 2 1/2” x 1/2” x 1/3” sized item! Worth every penny!!
Yes! Don’t you feel better carrying that around for those just in case moments! I always bring some food on a flight! You never know when you might get stuck somewhere and you have nothing!
Thank you, Denise! I said this before sometimes age brings wisdom through the pain points you’ve had to endure! I’ve traveled enough to have gone through many pain points and trying to prevent them from happening again to me or anyone else! Thank you again for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much! My saying is if it’s good you gotta share if it’s bad you got a spare! 🤣😂 thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel❤️🙏
Can opener is genius! I like to err on the side of prepared. We got stranded an hour away from home on a Saturday night. We made it to safety by depending on the kindness of strangers. I'm so thankful for them but life would have been a little easier if we had been prepared with at least a phone charger and a toothbrush! Now I keep a back pack with supplies in my car just in case!
Exactly!! You just never know when something‘s gonna happen that it’s going to leave you stranded and uncomfortable. And although you can’t prepare for everything I try to prepare for things depending on how far away from my home I’m gonna be. Anything more than an hour from my home I pack not only my EDC purse but another bag that has several things in it and I’ll have to do a video on that too! One time I was coming home from Tahoe and what should’ve been a simple 3 hour trip turned into a nightmare of being stranded on Highway 50 for eight hours! In the middle of a snowstorm! And after living in Lake Tahoe for two years and being a volunteer ranger for the US forest service I have found that I just need to be prepared for about anything! thank you so much for watching and commenting and I would look forward to your feedback on other videos!
I can totally play your game but I overdo it ! my backpack is filled with 100 lbs of tiny necessary items. Always removing them to repack with less. I could stay overnight for two people with one backpack. Clean underwear, tooth brush...
@@volvoqueen9698 lol! I completely understand! We could probably prepare for every possible scenario and still not be prepared enough! For the longest time I carried powdered packaged baby formula in my purse because one time I was trapped in a flight because of a snowstorm and a baby was crying so badly and all I wanted to do was have some formula for that baby! I finally gave that up but it probably just got replaced with some other thing that I thought I could do to help prevent some sort of suffering!
I agree with white clothes and stains! I always say that white clothes are allergic to me, whenever I wear them, they break out in spots! Lol! By, the way I think you're brilliant!!
Hi Jill! I’m sure someday will never even carry a wallet and everything will just be on our phone. Most the time I pay with my Apple Pay So as soon as we get the DMV on board we probably won’t even carry wallets any longer. In the meantime I’m carrying one and if I’m gonna carry one I’m gonna put a few things in it! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
Thank you, Makiko! I’m so happy to share these hacks with you and others! Hoping I can save some people from some of the painful experiences that I have been through. Of course not everyone will have these experiences but it’s always good to be prepared! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
Thank you, Grace! I feel like when you travel you need to be a mini prepper. So happy you enjoyed that video! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I’ve just stumbled upon your Chanel and I love you haha Definitely genius!!! I’ve “just” gotten into prepping a little and I just know I’ll have everything EXCEPT a can opener ! Off to buy hundreds and sew them into my bras or something hehe Craziest thing in my wallet is a tiny pebble from 2017 that almost got me fired from work after being lodged in my brake well ! NRMA man said it was the worst he’d seen in his 40years! 4 hours late to work and my boss didn’t believe me because I’d asked for that day off as I went to see Alice Cooper with my daddy the night before 😅
Crazy cause no one else does but genius because I can't tell you how many times traveling to a small town and it's late and nothings open but gas stations, now you can get Junk food or snacks but when you want food and hungry that is not what your body wants.
Hi Debralyn! Thank you so much! I have not heard the one about the parachute but I have heard one about the kitchen sink! But a parachute would be good to have if you’re flying! I’m so happy you were able to get to the links as well. Hope you’re getting some good things for your EDC bag! Also want to thank you for being such a wonderful supporter of my channel! I look forward to bringing you more great content. I’m still working on my Patreon video and will be doing some lives that will be exclusive to Patreon as well!
I use an iPhone app called keyring for all of my store cards. No need to carry, and then search for , the card you need for Costco, etc. it also hold my library card.
Yeah, I keep my cards on my iPhone but I have found some places that don’t except those types of payment. I need a physical card so I always have one with me. I also carry my Costco card and my AAA card and my health cards even though I have health cards on my phone, certain doctors offices don’t take the digital by scanning because they’re just not up-to-date with their equipment😊
My Can opener, little charge cable and mini powerbank are on my keychain with my Key. My emergency Kit also has a little comb, lip balm, super mini tweezer, mini pavement, mini mirror and a super mini shoehorn. :)
My dad always carried one of those little can-openers on his key ring his whole life. He learned that in the Navy. I don't know why I never picked one up. I guess I thought it was a guy thing but I'm gonna get me one!
Me too! I was surprised how many people in the comments carry one of these things around! But it really does come in handy if you’re on a trip and you need a can opener and you don’t want to buy one of those big ones! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
Thank you for posting this, Eunice! You are crazy talented for how you pack! Keep it up! Also, did you post your kitchen in a bag? That looks VERY useful!
Hi Jennifer! i’m so glad that you find my packing genius rather than crazy! I haven’t done an exact video on kitchen in a bag but I probably should. I do have some of that covered in a couple of other videos but it’s not specifically toward that. So that will be on my list of videos to do here in the next couple of months! thank you so much for noticing that and for the feedback!
Love your videos…Entertaining to watch and you get to the point quickly. I’ve seen your video on your EDC bag and noticed how you carry duplicates. Make sense, though, as you said in your video, you always have your wallet with you.
Hi Merlyne, yes I do carry duplicates or something similar in a couple of cases because I may not have my girl bag with me or I may not be in my own car so I like to be prepared with a few things that are just with me all the time.
Thank you, Barbara! I’m so happy you got some good hacks from this video! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I look forward to your feedback on my other videos!
🤣🤣 Definitely not crazy. I have one as well. I don’t travel on airlines with it as a very dear friend have it to me many many years ago. It was one of his tools he used in the army. I would hate to have it taken off me. But happy to buy another and travel with
Well, I do have to say that at least if they take it from me this came in a pack of four so I have more to replace and they’re not expensive but so useful😊
Love it! i like your kind of crazy. It's not crazy is been prepared for anything that is thrown at us. I am exactly the same way but not as compacted as you are and would love if you can leave information on were you get all these gadgets. I am just like Mary Poppins and her magical bag. I swear that no matter were I go and face challenges, I always carry with me the solution. I always tell my kids, "you need to be prepared for war". that is what my mother used to tell and because of this, if you ever are around me , I can rest assure that I have with me things that solve any problems. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them so much!💗
Hi Elys! First of all thank you so much for watching and commenting. All of the items that you see in the video are listed in the video description with links. There are a couple of items that are not exactly what I have here for example the wallet. My wallet is old and they don’t make it anymore so the coach wallet that I have there is going to be my next purchase when this one wears out! There’s also a link to the Amazon store front that I have that has many more every day carry items that you can browse through and see what works for you. I think some of this does come from my mother and she lived during the war and her purse was always very prepared with so many different things. I think that they were always running around and trying to carry whatever they could on their backs to survive and that transferred to me! I want to thank you again for watching and commenting I look forward to your feedback of my other videos!
Yes! I’m planning on doing a video in mid October on some of the things that I can’t live without as well as a video about some gifts that would be good for people who travel or like to put different things in their every day carry. With the holiday season coming up it’s always good to have some ideas on unique items that people may not have or any new gadgets!
For me, i always have toothpick for my husband coz everytime we dine in he always needs it. And foldable tiny scissors. Sometimes, the food quite tough hehehe. Need to cut...and im a walking pharmacy also...tnx...God bless🤗
Yeah that’s why I always carry that little tooth cleaner because I feel like somethings was getting stuck in my teeth! I have a tiny multi tool that has scissor in it so I don’t carry that in my wallet. Thank you so much for watching and commenting and your feedback and I look forward to more!
I have that tiny phone stand too😂 but for the can opener? I’m not kidding, I will find one. 😁 Thank you for sharing as always. I think you’re 7-11 yourself. 🥰 Have a great day! 🌻
