Im semi-new to EDC and i just wanted to say that was a very inspirational video. I like the multi-organizer bag. It kepts everything neat and easy, it also made my bag turn out a whole hell of a lot better.
I keep my backpack in my vehicle with a 2 person 72hr survival but, carry a molle man purse style day pouch with 3 mags, pepper spray, water, em blanket, 550 cord, lighter, first aide kit ,and two sets of zip tie hand cuffs. Def love this little bag.
Fantastic Video, excellent explanation and visual description of the core concepts and principles of EDC. Great introduction for novices and clarity for the more seasoned Preppers! Thanx for all your videos, they really helped me understand and appreciate many aspects of Prepping and Surival!
Equip 2 Endure LLC get a gcode holster or get rid of that clip. clips will get u killed. also way u inserted that mag will build training scars. do it properly everytime. great vid
Great video! You gave me some ideas for my edc bag. One thing I carry that I didn't see in yours is a battery pack to recharge my phone. It comes in handy if you forget to charge your phone and you are away fromm a wall outlet or car charger.
Hey there. Great kit. Would you add a fixed blade and maybe pocket saw for fire & shelter for the ..what if situation? Just to have that capability handy. Maybe a protein bar and spare battery? My back up battery has saved me a few times. So glad I had one. Lithium lightweight so I have 2 spare. Cheers! Thanks for the vids!
I suggest fishing leaders or wire for snares, a mini fishing kit with eyelets to make a fishing pole and a Ketalist Titanium for cooking. Almost everything tastes better cooked, ability to boil easily allows you to keep your drinking container safer and adds more foods to your survival menu like acorns. The addition of checking traps and fishing lines allows your mind to stay sharp and can keep away depression.
"Thin Blue Line" paracord bracelet, I love it! Lotsa respect for first responders, police, and firefighters always. Much kudos for all them associated with the marathon bombings. Soldiers have a connection with them I guess! Stay safe, Adam.
Cool, thanks for responding. I would like to figure out a way to edc a decent amount of gear, but I don't think I would be committed enough to haul everything around everywhere, lol
You said you carry your pistol in the small of your back, I hope you carry it off to the side. If someone pushes you and you land on your back it can leave you paralised. Hate being a safety sam but it was one of the first things we were taught when arranging our webbing.
I know your swisstool has some scissors on it, but I've been carrying a pair of Klein 2100-7 communication shears for years as dedicated scissors in their dedicated belt sheath with my farmer SAK in the place where the splicing knife goes. Heavy duty scissors are hard to beat, and these can cut through a penny.
Great video! I'm so stoked that you keep putting out these videos so consistently. It is really appreciated. I also carry around a Swiss army knife these days too, but mainly as an homage to MacGyver! =) Except I gotta have the Victorinox with the pliers and scissors for daily work-related tasks.
We have almost identical EDC bag contents. I have a 5.11 MOAB 10 that I got before Hazard 4 put out that bag (which I love and it is on the wishlist). No EDC 4 or GSO 4.1 surprised me. I haven't left my 4.1 anywhere since I got it.
You should compress the storm matches with some cottonballs or something like that. If they move around and light up, your container will explode! Great video, thank you.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing a more in-depth review of your Pathfinder watch. I've been looking into this line and there are so many models it makes my head spin. Any insight as to why you chose the model you have would be helpful. Interesting update vid, btw.
Items I'd consider adding: 4" pair of vise grips, compressed roll of duck tape, zip ties, couple of 5 hour energies or similar, 10' single plug extension cord + 3 plug travel surge protector, USB 10' extension cable, small assortment of common fasteners (screws and nails), sew your name and VoIP based phone number into the inside of the bag so if its lost it can be returned but not your address that way you have to go meet them to get it and they don't know where you live.
Actually Michael, that is the preferred way to eat. Rations dehydrate you worse in emergency situations. EDC is designed to provide you the tools you need to survive, not a supply train. Water, fire and shelter are the single most important things to do in an emergency situation, with water and shelter being the top two in equal portions. Food is near last priority.
We share basically the same exact EDC. Awesome. Except I have a high cap mag and a mag extension on my 3rd gen and I have a CRKT folder and the sapphires
Pretty cool gear. Lots of gear, the more the merrier I always say! One thing I don't get is the micro towel you carry. Do you put it back in your pack when it's soaking wet from drying yourself off?
Thanks for the video, gave me some ideas. I have a question though, do you really carry that bag with you at all times? Like walking around at work, inside stores shopping, inside restaurants? Thanks
Informative vid. Some ideas I hadn't thought of, nicely done. Have a make/model on that glasses hardcase? Does it have an attachment system, or have you modified it? Thanks
If you don't carry your spare mags on your person you should switch your mags out to Glock 22 mags. It'll give you a few extra rounds just in case. I like the idea of separate purpose specific pouches in your kit. Thanks for the great videos
Adam, have you ever thought about having an outdoors/survival class? I can't seem to find anything on the east coast that is reasonable. Even to just go over the basics for a weekend.
you should do an "EDC: dinner date edition", itd be interesting to see how youd configure an outfit with limited pocket space to remain prepared for certain scenarios
Hey Adam only suggestion would be a small roll of duct tape. Very multi purpose item anything from gear repair, fire starting, extra cordage, tourniquet etc... I'm sure you probably know more uses for it than me.
Great videos, I've just seen a few of them and subscribed. I have a comment/personal opinion. Working for the manufacturing industry I understand that mostly everything that's made from titanium (Ti) is actually done from a Ti-Al alloy since Ti is such a hard material to work. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend having eating or drinking utensiles made from titanium since they may all also have aluminum and that stuff once injested finds its way to the brain and that doesn't do any good.
Not that anyone will chew on the stuff but when you wash, boil and handle those items small particles come loose and will eventually get to where we don't need it or want it. Of course, not nearly as bad as using all aluminum but maybe something to think about...
I want to see the tactical side of Adam ...I understand why he doesn't go in to much detail about that part of him butts love to see one video of the tactical adam
My apologies.. The Ketalist is the Halulite, this is my Titanium set I use. Snow Peak Trek Combo Titanium Cookset. The Ketalist with everything in it weighs in at 14.3 ounces with no additional bulk aside from the cookset.
As always, well done sir. Question about your bag; do you find the military type of bags a distraction or attention getter in public? I use a camo hunting bag, (common here in the rocky mtns) but I like the versatility of your bag. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, keep it up.
Great video man. I just got a pack from the local army surplus store. It's made by Fox Outdoors/Fox Tactical. It says its made from "tactical polyester." From what i understand its a tougher polyester weave that's coated to give the same strength/water resistant as 900 denier nylon. Any thoughts on if that really works as well? Ever come across any Fox Outdoors/Tactical gear before? Thanks. Take care to you and the whole E2E team.
Love your vids....you may have answered this question already....but could youbgive me more info on the jacket that you have in this kit. I've been looking for something lightweight and compressable like that.....thanks for the info.
Adam, It seems that you have switched from Maxpedition to Hazard 4. I have reviewed the Hazard 4 products and they don't seem to stand up to Maxpedition. What do you see?
I've been thinking of getting a German Shepard for a guard/family dog.I know trained dogs are expensive though.Are there any training videos on the market to help me train him/her myself?I have trained english pointers and labs for bird dogs for years so I think I might could manage.Thanks Adam.
He is not carrying emergency rations because in an emergency situation, water conservation is more important than food. Emergency rations dehydrate you more with the salts used in preservation and the fact they are dehydrated, rendering a potential water shortage even worse. The proper way to eat is to take live game and/or learn wild edibles. They are fresher and do not dehydrate as much, however, food is still a LAST requirement in an emergency.
You need to get the SOG Tomcat 3.0.........That might be the greatest kick start folding knife ever. You use that knife your other knives will seem child like.
Thoughts: that's a HUGE "EDC". I know you are LEO, but most people will not carry that type of bulk around (leaving it in your car doesn't make it "EDC"). Also, it's interesting you imply that an iPad wouldn't be in an EDC - that's crazy in the 21st century. Finally, why only Hazard4 pouches attached to the Hazard4 bag? Maxpedition pouches are good on MOLLE as well. :o)
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed it.
Im semi-new to EDC and i just wanted to say that was a very inspirational video. I like the multi-organizer bag. It kepts everything neat and easy, it also made my bag turn out a whole hell of a lot better.
Thanks for taking the time to share your systems with us.
Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the input, we'll look into it. Thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share your kit details - gave me a lot of great ideas for my own get-home bag.
Fantastic Video, excellent explanation and visual description of the core concepts and principles of EDC. Great introduction for novices and clarity for the more seasoned Preppers! Thanx for all your videos, they really helped me understand and appreciate many aspects of Prepping and Surival!
As always a pleasure to be able to see your setup, a ton of fun. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Equip 2 Endure LLC get a gcode holster or get rid of that clip. clips will get u killed. also way u inserted that mag will build training scars. do it properly everytime. great vid
I like how you've set it up to be so modular. I've been working towards this goal, but mine needs some work still.
Its a Hazard 4 case. I believe the link is in the description.
Great video! You gave me some ideas for my edc bag. One thing I carry that I didn't see in yours is a battery pack to recharge my phone. It comes in handy if you forget to charge your phone and you are away fromm a wall outlet or car charger.
Keep at it, thanks for watching
One of the few people with an EDC as insane as mine. Excellent.

Thanks............I think....LOL. Appreciate you view, and comments.
depends on the situation, when walking downtown away from my vehicle yes. At work no, but I have other gear at work.
"Thin Blue Line" paracord bracelet, I love it!
Lotsa respect for first responders, police, and firefighters always.
Much kudos for all them associated with the marathon bombings.
Soldiers have a connection with them I guess!
Stay safe, Adam.
Cool, thanks for responding. I would like to figure out a way to edc a decent amount of gear, but I don't think I would be committed enough to haul everything around everywhere, lol
Great kit I'm making mine now, I found my edc to be too small, always like the e2e vids and website for ideas thanks for doing what you do
Its important to get what fits you best, thanks for watching
Thanks for watching

Adam Thanks for posting this video. Very interesting and full of great ideas
Great setup Adam, but how about a updated EDC video? I'm sure you have new stuff to carry
I know your swisstool has some scissors on it, but I've been carrying a pair of Klein 2100-7 communication shears for years as dedicated scissors in their dedicated belt sheath with my farmer SAK in the place where the splicing knife goes. Heavy duty scissors are hard to beat, and these can cut through a penny.

We will add that idea to the list
have to look into that, thanks for the idea

He goes alot of places with me and my family. He is our personal protection dog, not my work / police dog.
Thanks for the input
I did have duct tape around an expired ID in my kit. Thanks for the tip though.
I really appreciate this video. I enjoy most of your vids and I thank you for your efforts

Great video Adam. hows the slingback been working for you so far? any real complaints about it, or has it been solid and comfortable?
We share basically the same exact EDC. Awesome. Except I have a high cap mag and a mag extension on my 3rd gen and I have a CRKT folder and the sapphires
There was a Victorinox Farmer, and a Zero Tolerance 0350
@Zotsy703, Police (active and retired) can now carry in all 50 states plus DC under HR218.
Adam's bio is available on our website.......Thanks for watching
its on the list
Love your videos. Nutnfancy ain't got "nutn" on you. Thanks for making them!
Now that's a compliment
Pretty cool gear. Lots of gear, the more the merrier I always say! One thing I don't get is the micro towel you carry. Do you put it back in your pack when it's soaking wet from drying yourself off?
Thanks, great idea
you should try carrying a p51 can opener on your key chain I do and I use mine almost daily not just as a can opener but as a flat head screw driver
Thanks for the video, gave me some ideas. I have a question though, do you really carry that bag with you at all times? Like walking around at work, inside stores shopping, inside restaurants? Thanks

Great video! What do you do for a living? Were you in the military?
damn man I see so much potential for using this bag for collage/EDC
Hi Adam... why dont you carry extra battaries for your flashlights ? best regards... Barak

Read again the two extra mags are in his bag. I aways keep and extra mag or speedloaders on my person.
Awesome video !! Do you use this for over nights instead of your sabercat now ?
Awesome Vid! Btw where did you get your CPR kit?
I want to see the tactical side of Adam ...I understand why he doesn't go in to much detail about that part of him butts love to see one video of the tactical adam
Thanks
nice kit Adam. dose Ace go with you every where even when your not on duty?
Great video with useful tips. Where did you get the Can-o-Cord?
My apologies.. The Ketalist is the Halulite, this is my Titanium set I use. Snow Peak Trek Combo Titanium Cookset. The Ketalist with everything in it weighs in at 14.3 ounces with no additional bulk aside from the cookset.

Nice EDC Kit, I may have to review mine now. I have multiple cell phones also, hate the extra weight/gear but what are you going to do.
Great video man. I just got a pack from the local army surplus store. It's made by Fox Outdoors/Fox Tactical. It says its made from "tactical polyester." From what i understand its a tougher polyester weave that's coated to give the same strength/water resistant as 900 denier nylon. Any thoughts on if that really works as well?

Love your vids....you may have answered this question already....but could youbgive me more info on the jacket that you have in this kit. I've been looking for something lightweight and compressable like that.....thanks for the info.
I believe I saw 2 additional mags for his weapon. And they are on his person. I am not seeing the issues here.
Never seen anybody actually carry SOB! Are you left handed? Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
a great great video, thanks Adam
Adam, It seems that you have switched from Maxpedition to Hazard 4. I have reviewed the Hazard 4 products and they don't seem to stand up to Maxpedition. What do you see?
awesone edc gear Adam!!
I've been thinking of getting a German Shepard for a guard/family dog.I know trained dogs are expensive though.Are there any training videos on the market to help me train him/her myself?I have trained english pointers and labs for bird dogs for years so I think I might could manage.Thanks Adam.
Like the bag but where did you get the eyeglass case?
Great vid got some good ideas from it. headlamp and a pair of gloves would be good to add
Aaaah, I've been wanting to get a batman patch for my hazard4 sling bag! where did you got it from?
He is not carrying emergency rations because in an emergency situation, water conservation is more important than food.

Great video. I would really want this bag, it it was a back pack and not a sling.
Great stuff. thx for the share
Adam have you considered some sort of battery pack or solar charger?
Great video!
May I suggest a couple cliff bars or some other form of compact food
Great kit
Nice i have some similar to the organizer i carry most of it in a mango versa bag...some good ideas going to change a few things cool video.
They have a facbook page, check out my description where I have a link to them.
A good pair of side cutters!
I used a trainer.......Its sometimes very hard to catch yourself making a mistake.
I'd also like to see what's in the medical bag.
Nice bag!!
I feel like food would be more of a consideration in a bugout bag as opposed to what you would carry every day
You need to get the SOG Tomcat 3.0.........That might be the greatest kick start folding knife ever. You use that knife your other knives will seem child like.

Maxpedition pouches are good on MOLLE as well. :o)
Hey I'm a cop in downtown Denver co, I think ur in LE also, love ur vids, any input for LE would be great, like EDC for LE...just a thought
