I have a small compass the size of a quarter, or maybe half dollar, also, a battery backup power supply might be good - they DO make a few in small sizes, that could fit in the bag. Good for an emergency charge of your phone if it dies on a hike.
I think the pack is just actually titled an EDC Pack online, I'm not sure he's saying that it's a pack for going to EDC if that's what you were thinking... I thought so too at first...
I have a similar bag, but I have a few extra items. that you might consider. The water purification tablets are good, but they actually do expire. They have a usable life of about 4-5 years. I always keep a Lifestraw in my bag, which gives you immediate access to virtually any water source. I also have a small, but powerful EDC flashlight and extra batteries. Streamlight and OLIGHT make excellent ones. The lighters and matches are great, but I'd add a magnesium/ferro rod firestarter. I'd also add a signal mirror. You might also want to include a blood clotting agent to your first aid kit. Most don't have one. Finally, if you can get it to fit, a 12 gauge shotgun is always a good choice.
I agree with the flashlight. I don't have an example though. I'm never opposed to a different Firestarter, to me it just depending on where you are going. A cheap lighter works in 99.8% of situations to me,
Well . We don't know that he IS do we . All kinds of folks carry a small emergency kit with them but do not carry a gun . They may call it an EDC , or not . Both of my grandmothers called them ... PURSES ! And I promise it would have been one FOOLISH individual that tangled with them .
very nice video as always mr thank you, large spectrum antibiotics, anti-septic solitions and suture needle and suture thread are very important to me in my dystopia bag :)
back in the day before i discovered asmr, I would watch these types of prepping videos to fall asleep. This was a nice nostalgic trip and great relaxing tingles. Thanks for the great video.
You should definitely get a portable battery that u can plug a cable into and charge any device and get the one that has a solar panel that can charge when out in direct sunlight
For the emergency phone charger get a Gallium nitrate charger brick. The one you have now is extremely slow and in a case where you might need it topped off quickly that one won't do.
Although zippos aren't great to be packed away for long periods of time, they do make excellent survival items. They are hands free, wind proof, and unaffected by temperature, unlike a bic lighter. They can also be refilled and run off of many different types of fuel, making them quite valuable if resource scarcity is a problem.
And I have a little bit of everything in them one is like a gym bag and the other is like a large duffel bag that you can wear like a backpack both came from my local military surplus store that I’m a regular at as I’m good friends with the owner I’ve known him for awhile.
And as someone who’s big into prepping and military surplus stuff and has a lot of stuff I must say for someone who’s just trying to keep a small bag this is good.
I'm always in awe of your organization & preparedness. I would love to hear any stories you have about times where you needed to use any of these tools to magiver your way out of a survival situation. Always a treat to hear your voice!❤🙌
Hey Relaxing, love your videos and still watching to this day from my childhood to my adult life now. I have a couple questions, mostly revolving around stuff you said in past videos about getting some of your items appraised like the 1920 Silver Dollar from your trinket box video and various jewls from your "Special To Me" Video. Would love to hear a update video about them all as I find them super interesting items!
If you ever ran into Mr. Fisher, it's possible that he gifted you that pen. I had the pleasure of meeting him once at a convention and enjoyed his company and conversation, and he gifted me a pen as we parted. An enjoyable memory, and it comes back to me when I handle that pen. 😁
The guitar picks made me smile. I also have several which are many years old now. I don't play guitar but always thought they might prove themselves useful one day - you never know :)
You should consider buying a leatherman to add to that EDC bag. I personally own the Leatherman Signal. It’s the perfect outdoor survival knife, but has good EDC applications as well.
Um, so the prepper community uses EDC to refer to a mini doomsday kit? Everyday carry started out to mean things that you not only carry on your person everyday, but also use fairly frequently (which justifies always having it on your person): everyday bag, wallet, keys, chapstick, mobile phone - those sorts of things.
I’m in Sheboygan so I’m not far from the power plants as well. Every time I pass it on my way to sturgeon bay I always think what if. It’s good to know there’s pills that might help in that situation thanks!
I’ve had the same Maxpedition wallet for 11 years, and it still holds up and functions very well. I can hold a lot of change in one zipped pouch and I keep my spare keys along with movie tickets and guitar picks in the other one. Their products definitely stand the test of time.
This has inspired me to order a few EDC items for my "man purse" or shoulder/chest bag. Got a 21 in 1 multi tool, a bright flash light pen and a foldable box cutter similar to yours in the video, thanks!
Nooo.. EDC in this case ... in most cases actually stands for Every Day Carry . Used to be just survivalist folks and ones who loved their gunzz waaayyy too much but now it's all sorts . Basically anyone practical who wants an emergency kit in their car or what have you . Sorry to disappoint you !
You're quite correct, there was a wave of prepper content around the 2012/13 mark. I put together something similar but never actually used it (as in carried it) and have never needed it (not to discredit the practice). I do try and carry a lighter on me after a came across a young woman in some distress (sat on the floor of a bus stop, no shoes or outerwear at night). she wouldn't accept any help I could give, only asking for a light for her cigarette, which I didnt have. Maybe I could have helped her properly if I had just had that lighter.
Very cool carry, I swear everything I'm into, you eventually make a video about it haha 😅. The only thing aside a good pocket knife I'd add is a simple yet high quality flashlight! Maybe that's something you already carry on your belt though, but certainly an important emergency item.
Years ago when I was a kid and taking lessons I would use the ue medium picks. Now years out of practice I tend to just strum with my nail. Wish I had the time to sit with a teacher again.
I have a slightly smaller version of that same bag. In the summer it holds the things that would otherwise be in a jacket pocket - car keys and wallet. Permanent residents are extra house keys, a Classic SD SAK, a Fenix E15 flashlight, and all of the extra cards that would make my wallet too fat.

Those matches are cool. Look into the uco matches. They come in that sort of case but the whole stick has that stuff on it. It’s like a torch. I’ve stuck them in water while lit and they still burn when I pull them out. Super cool
Seen a lot of these, but I have yet to see a condom added, when you think of the uses one of these has in an emergency, the most obvious is a water container.
I’d take out one of those lighters and get a flint strike, and one or two of those water purification straws they’ll last a lot longer than the tablets
Ha. My first thought when you opened it was "needs a pocket knife", but I'm smart enough to know to wait. These are some of my favorite kinds of ASMR videos. Thank you!
Have you ever done a video where we can see what you look like ? I love your videos tho I've been Binging them a lot lately, relaxing listening to you talk about things
