    This is the kind of stuff I take with me in my EDC. I don’t need pry bars and bit drivers and wrenches. I’m not interested in going out and fixing things. My EDC is for fixing me.

    What made it through TSA on my last flight: Folding Fiskar mini scissors, Victorinox nail clippers, Zebra mechanical pencil, Pilot Birdie pen, Victorinox Swiss Card minus small knife blade, Coast inspection flash light, and micro bit driver. I do try to follow the directions before going through. What I need and sometimes forget are ear plugs, aspirin, Ibuprofen, band aids, and alcohol wipes.

    Hello, I just stumbled across your video, I haven't heard of your channel before but I will watch more of your videos now. I love your ultra compact flight EDC. So many people pack these huge 'emergency' kits for travel, and I always think, where do you plan to fit your legs in? Being a semi-disabled senior lady and - well, not obese, but certainly uncomfortably heavy - I always pay extra to book a bulkhead seat so I can have a wee bit extra leg room. The tradeoff is, I don't have the seat pocket in front and all my hand luggage has to be in the overhead compartment. So most of what I need during my flight needs to fit in my pockets, or in an extremely thin triple pocket flat travel pouch that will slip in the tiny magazine pouch attached to the bulkhead (I remove the in flight magazine and stick it in the overhead compartment to make room.) The zip pouch has room for alcohol wipes, a mask, an extremely thin paperback (I would rather read print than a screen when travelling), and that's about it. What does help is wearing a 17 pocket travel vest which allows me to keep ID and cash hidden and zipped up inside, and in flight essentials such as eye drops, tissues, sudafed for the landing (I have ear trouble when I fly), snacks, reading glasses, and blunt tiny scissors from a sewing kit to open snacks. Also my pocket pharmacy, which fits in a tiny folding plastic many-compartment container about the size of a deck of cards. Anything absolutely essential is on my person rather than in a bag - if you have to use the emergency exit slide for any reason, you cannot take any bags, even a purse, or shoes, so I need anything irreplaceable like ID and glasses on my body.

    I always have one of those little flossers/toothpick one me. Nothing can ruin your mood faster than a piece of food stuck in your teeth and you can't get it out. They take up very little space, and I'm always glad I've got one when I need it.

    I have expermented with the similar Maxpedition zipper Pouches with more of a Survival preparadness twist though but here are some more ideas one can pick and choose from for your EDC travel Kits- Fresnal Magnifier, Sharpie, Small Compass like the clip on Suunto, Map of Area of destination, Caribiner Clip, Extra Flashlight Batteries, Zip-Ties, Safety Pins, Earplugs, Fruit Leather, Bandana, hank of Para Cord, Micro Photon Light on key ring, Knife Sharpener like the Sog Mac V Multi-Tool, Bleed X/ Bleed Stop, Alcohol Wipes, Waterproof Band-Aids, White Medical Tape wrapped around an old Credit/Gift Card, small container or ziplock bag with Pain Relievers and one for Multi Vitamins, Floss (which can be used for emergency lashings, sutures, sewing, or fishing line), another old Credit/ Gift Card Wrapped in Duct Tape and Electrical Tape- they make 1" Gorilla Tape for convenience (this for emergency gear repair or medical), Leatherman by the Numbers flat Multi-Tools (1-10) or the Punisher flat Multi-Tool some have a built-in Prybar feature, and in my Carry-on or Suitcase I keep and empty Knife Sheath knowing every kitchen has Knives etc... if things got so bad I could not replace my preferred EDC carry Knife with something that I like.

    The Wedge is just the wrong flashlight for this--especially as you used it.
    You're missing a bunch of useful items.
    I just completed an international trip (3 planes each way, for 24.5 flight hours, each way). The planes all had USB charging ports. One plane had an AC outlet.
    That hank seems to be just a tiny square. If so, not worth it.
    No way I'm taking irreplaceable multitools through TSA. That having been said, I accidentally went through with a folding knife with a 4-inch blade. Rather alarming that they missed it.
    I felt naked. No pliers, no pry tool, and no multitool. I did have a Geekey, though.
    I don't recall seeing what was on the other side of the pouch.

    I use my what-a-junior as my travel edc pouch. I always have the same items inside. A TT bolt action mini, a Reylight Pineapple, a TPT slide (no blade) and the civivi tweezers. I usually always have some ouchy booboo stuff in the front pocket and have a zippo with me at all times. I recently just flew out of Luxembourg to Paris and when I pulled out my Zippo they wanted to confiscate it immediately, even though there was no fluid inside. After pleading with the TSA agent he made me take out all the cotton inside. I had to pull out my TPT slide to use the flat head to remove it and he looked like he wanted to confiscate that too, I was thinking of leaving the “ travel safe”ceramic blade in. Thank God I didn’t. I have never had an issue with my Zippo no matter where I flew, this was definitely a first for me. Just wondering if anyone experienced any similar issues?

      Be careful with that. I had a no name multitool with a scissor confiscated by TSA. I tried to argue the point.....lost argument. had to catch my flight. I'm just happy it wasn't a 200.00 leatherman. TSA very unpredictable and not consistent. Anyone flying A LOT prob has similar experiences. Put your expensive gear in checked bag if have one. No checked? Use cheap imposter gear only in case of confiscation. Not perfect but its where we at. Thanks Marine X always on point my brother. 👍

    I've read that a TSA agent could confiscate items that would be deemed okay. I'm thinking your small Leatherman. or any flashlight that could sub as a hammer. The reason? It's their interpretation of the rules. If it looks like a weapon, then they're free to take it. What's your take?
