I appreciate your coverage of EDC consumables, and not just the hardware most EDC videos cover. Great ideas an EDC bag dads and granddads. One thing I like have is tissues, for those snotty noses, including mine.
Something I haven't seen yet in a video: a couple/few plastic grocery bags. If you lay ''em flat, get all the air out, and fold them like a flag, to make a triangle (or like the paper footballs from when you were 11 or 12 y.o.) They're great for instant trash bags, of course, but also for a moisture barrier to sit on, or to hold something and keep it dry when scurrying from car to school door through the rain, etc. etc. And very 'prepared dad'-ish, too.
This is beyond just being a dad. I'm a leader at my job and have many grown folk under me.... this would definitely fit the bill for a save the day pack for anyone. Love the build, found a few things i was missing in my edc carry. Great job my friend
I love that you've put kits like this together. Great gift ideas for our husbands. You've done all the work for us! I'll definitely check out your other videos.
Hi just found your ch! I'm a special needs bus driver so I carry almost all of these things and more equipment for the kids! I'm Ling these ideas and things are always going to happen on my routes so I need to be prepared! Thank you
OK...I believe you! Watched this, expecting to see "macho man" drivel. Was astonished that you really do carry DAD stuff. And...I took notes, because...you...have some really good ideas. Thanks
You sure fit a ton of stuff in there. I'm not sure why you use three different wipes though, I'd just stick to the wet ones or some unscented baby wipes. I have the retreev tool and have to agree that it's pretty fun. I love watching EDC videos but it's really nice to see one that's more shit hits the hand than hits the fan.
I totally agree the need for clean up cloths. To avoid waste and blocking drains, I run a 4"square flannel (Cheekywipes in the UK) in a zip lock baggie and add water from my bottle as needed. If I need disinfection, I have a pen-sized refillable squirt bottle of surgical spirit/rubbing alcohol.
WOW! Great video and kit! As a grandfather of young grandchildren, this kit is perfect for any outing you could think of! Great ideas! Going to put one together myself! Thanks man! Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Well done!
A new item you may find interesting are the small tourniquets from Snakestaff System. About the size of a magazine. I just bought four (4) to carry off-duty. They fit well in a small EDC bag or your pocket. Enjoy your channel and glad I found it (my wife won’t be when she sees the Amazon cart). Just found it today and subscribed. This is my type of EDC - not to tactical and a little more practical.
Thanks for this awesome video! I think you might be interested in the “PULLEY standard 90 degrees B0” by austrialpin, as it would go very well with your Kevlar rope and the reteeve. I alsways it with me and it weights nothing :)
9:14 Let me suggest use hydrocolloid dressing as a band-aid alternative. They are not anti bacterial and significantly more expensive than bandaid (affordable still) but they are excellent in every other aspect, you can get 4x4in ones which you can cut down on the fly and it sticks directly onto the wound thus fixing it in place and making it way less painful to move around and do stuff. It also helps wound healing and reduce scaring. Idk if this is normal but I cut a small piece of my finger off and it is pretty much completely healed in a week.
Great video! I always have my Amazon app opened when I watch videos like these, and I always wind up spending some money. :) The only thing I would probably pick a cheaper option for is the tape measure. $45 for 3 feet? Ouch. Great size and form factor though, so go for it if it’s in your budget. Thanks for posting!
Having Amazon open is how I've ended up with so much gear over the years :-) Yeah, the tape measure is up there, but it's super tiny, well--engineered, and (most importantly for this kit) super light weight. Throw it in a pocket and you'd totally forget it was there.
Hey Tammy - you've won the big Rumpl box in my 15,000 subscriber giveaway :-) Saw an email address on your profile, so I'm going to reach out to you that way. You've got a week to claim it from the time of this comment.
Siiiick loadout. I have two nieces and I also have those compressed mini towels in my EDC bag, we go thru them like Skittles. Keep rockin, loving the vids
Enjoy the clip . I’m not a dad or father. 5 nephew, 2 nieces & a combination of GR8 nephews & nieces about 15 clan. I like the kit going to make some for the parents. Cheers ☕️
Great video. My son is going to be a dad for the first time in 4 months. A "Dad" EDC kit would make a great present for him. Might even make up another kit for myself, given that I will be a grandpa for the first time :)
I do appreciate your level of preparedness and don't at all mean to seem critical, but I'd suggest considering carrying a tourniquet and or bleeding stopping powder in your kits, they're inexpensive and probably, hopefully knever will be needed, but just incase it might be worth it in a worst case scenario. It takes less than 7 minutes to bleed to death, but the average ambulance response time is 22 minutes. JS
Gotta get one of those glow fobs for my edc. That Vanquest Dendrite looks pretty nice, too. I'd definitely swap out that buckle for a fidlock one though. Something about that solid magnetic latching is just *chef's kiss*.
You captured my attention! Great presentation, unusual yet useful items, I have subscribed to your channel and plan on view your other videos. Best of luck to you!
Yeah it’s awesome! I have about 99% the same things in my kit. I use the AER city sling. Niteize makes some light up zipper pulls that I used on some zipper you should check it out. Also, you mentioned that you have the magnifier which would be great for pulling a splinter, I’m gonna get one. However I have a small pair of tweezers as well, you should get some.
Greetings from one Tennessean to another! Great video! I notice that you have trouble with the ends of your Kevlar rope fraying/unraveling. Try flaming the ends of the rope with your Bic lighter. That should melt the fibers together so they don't fray. I haven't tried this with Kevlar rope specifically but it works with nearly all cordage except all-natural (like hemp, cotton).
Great gear as a dad my kids are so accident prone I started carrying back pack so I can have first aid kit in it. I will add some things from your kit to it.
This was a very informative video, thank you for your information sir. My carry is indeed vast, may I suggest Huggies wipes with aloe & vitamin E. As a long-haul truck driver, I literally have at least 11 or more of these 176 wipes bags (on average) in the back of my tractor at all times. I think of these as a type of sink where there is no water 💧. I use these for all things imaginable pretty much daily. Once again, great video sir, be well.
I carry an EDC backpack in my car but this is a great idea to have for times when I don’t want to lug the backpack around. Thanks for the video with all the details!!
I am from South Korea. I am so impressed to watch how American dad is prepared. I gotta learn from you. Thanks. :)

Just an FYI. Those little expanding wipes also work with hand sanitiser instead of water so you can make a quick anti bac wipe.
Smart!

Glad I passed the test :-)
This is awesome! I’ve added a small inflatable ball and a few toys to mine
Now THAT'S a missing piece in this kit. Great ideas.
As a dad and a cultivator of useful items I love you content. Thx for introducing me to such cool stuff.
Some really interesting additions in your kit I haven’t seen before - thanks for the ideas!
A mini tape measure has become one of my favorite Dad EDC items. Some great ideas in this kit!
The dad pouch is back! Looks like a great pack. I'm sure the winner will be super happy
New to the channel, im always on the hunt for cool gear! Found it! Thank you
You sure fit a ton of stuff in there. I'm not sure why you use three different wipes though, I'd just stick to the wet ones or some unscented baby wipes.
I have the retreev tool and have to agree that it's pretty fun.

DUDE! noic List! Thank you for sourcing these.. - I'll be picking up a few things!
Love your Channel, great stuff 👍👍👍
Thanks man
AWESOME dad-centric EDC, great setup!
I totally agree the need for clean up cloths. To avoid waste and blocking drains, I run a 4"square flannel (Cheekywipes in the UK) in a zip lock baggie and add water from my bottle as needed. If I need disinfection, I have a pen-sized refillable squirt bottle of surgical spirit/rubbing alcohol.
Thanks for sharing! Lots of cool items contained in a nice Fanny pack. Take care
Recently discovered the channel, and have been watching for days.
Nice, that will definitely help being a Dad. You have to expect the unexpected when having kids!
Glad the algorithm put this on my feed. Thanks for thinking of us dads!
Glad to have ya!
WOW! Great video and kit! As a grandfather of young grandchildren, this kit is perfect for any outing you could think of! Great ideas! Going to put one together myself! Thanks man! Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Well done!
Awesome - glad you liked it.
Nice little kit. Some of that I didn’t even think of
Man...I thought I was prepared until I saw this! So many items in a fanny pack! Nice job! I like the body wipe idea too! Thanks for the vid!!!
yeah, those wipes are surprisingly handy to have
The UA-cam Gods finally dropped the perfect video into my feed. Very cool!
Haha, glad you liked it
Yeah I need that TI tape measure! Always using the side of my Leatherman, which goes to 9 inches but 3ft would be clutch!
Starting my DAD Essentials now!

I put together a little kit before I even knew EDC was a thing. These videos are helping me make it even better.
Thanks for all your great giveaways.
I think a poncho would be a great addition to your dad kit!
Good call
Thanks for this awesome video! I think you might be interested in the “PULLEY standard 90 degrees B0” by austrialpin, as it would go very well with your Kevlar rope and the reteeve. I alsways it with me and it weights nothing :)
Cool idea
Good channel! Glad I found it. Thanks for the GAW.
This was an awesome dad pack! Throw a mini new testament, cigar cutter, and cigar tube and your prep is complete!😆
Awesome video. As a dad myself, I appreciate this. Durban, South Africa
Folding sunglasses. I had a pair of those back in the 80's. lol
What a great little kit you have there. Some smart useful stuff.

I thought the same thing, $45! YIKES!
Grand Dads need a pack too! Ups our cool factor.
That grappling hook.. thats next level preparedness. Is everyone in Tennessee this prepared ? Great video!
Great video. A lot of stuff I didn’t think of. Thanks for sharing!
Wet ones are essential. Shout wipes are a great combo for cleaning clothing.
Ah yes dad gear, this is why I’m here
I didn’t think it was over kill at all! Thank you for all the cool ideas and the links were very helpful!
Good to hear :-)

@@AtHomeInTheFuture well my goodness! I’ll wait for the email but want to thank you in advance.
@@AtHomeInTheFuture I received and just replied to the email. Thank you so much.
This would be amazingly helpful. I need to put something together.
Thanks for running the giveaway!!!
Yessir
Nice, a few things I can add to my kit!
Siiiick loadout. I have two nieces and I also have those compressed mini towels in my EDC bag, we go thru them like Skittles. Keep rockin, loving the vids
Lol , now I’m definitely reconsidering a Fanny pack!!! Nice video, thank you for your time.
It’s a solid choice!
Thanks for the video.
Good stuff. Thank you for listing the products in the description!

Great tips ! My Dad bag has a reputation with my family. “Go ask Dad he has it in that bag “ is said daily 😂
That means you did good! Fist bump.
Quite possibly the best edc Ive ever seen
So awesome! Glad I randomly ran across this video...subscribed immediately!
Great video. My son is going to be a dad for the first time in 4 months. A "Dad" EDC kit would make a great present for him. Might even make up another kit for myself, given that I will be a grandpa for the first time :)
What a great present! Sounds like you need to build one for the both of you :-)
Good video. I actually have a couple of these items in my EDC
Don’t have kids. But I have a lot of nieces and nephews. I also have a lot of needy friends that act like kids. this pack is awesome.
Glad you dig it! Sometimes you’ve just got to be dad to the people you’re hanging with :-)
Some good ideas in here, thanks.

GREAT DAD BAG.
I like the variety you have in this pack. Also its taylored to you. Because we dont need a ferro rod in every bag lol!
Thanks for the chance to win some awesome gear!
Good luck to everyone
What a great kit with some terrific ideas. Thanks for sharing! Headed to Amazon now.
Nicely put together, I'm definitely subscribing.
Glad to have ya

Great video! The in charge is great but I struggled with it a bit. The kable card has been my favourite alternative
Glad I stumbled onto this channel!
Glad you’re here!
Great video going to get for my brother in law that just had a son for his bday
I really enjoyed this video. Definitely taking some of these ideas for my every day bag.
This edc looks like it would be great for the basic day to day stuff you need with kids.
Amazing kit. I’ll b a dad soon. I’m taking notes
Welcome to the club man! Hope this gave you some good ideas.
You’ve got some great gear in this kit! I’m a dad also and have bags of just in case gear everywhere!
EDC dad bag is genius. Nice bag as well. Thanks for the video
You captured my attention! Great presentation, unusual yet useful items, I have subscribed to your channel and plan on view your other videos.
Best of luck to you!
A small multitool would be a good addition. Something like a gerber dime or leatherman squirt.
This kind of stacks with my EDC stuff in my pockets, where I keep a leatherman squirt ps4
Thanks for the GAW!
The Rumpl package is nice. Would go great in my truck.
have you ever thought of putting a knifeless tool in there so that you can do some other stuff, but still be good for going to a school?
I really like your kits. My wife calls me macgyver all the time.
Dad of 3. Good ideas. Making myself one!
Thank you for your reviews!!!
love all these options thanks for the video!!!

Man I need to build something like this!
Do it!

They’re surprisingly nice

Nice. I got a couple ideas for things to add to my dad edc kit. :)
That’s great! Dad‘s EDC sounds good 👌🏻👍🏻 good video

My edc is work and life related from a multi tool to knife couple flashlights. I have my tablet in it as well and scooter keys.
Excellent kit! Thanks for sharing.
I carry an EDC backpack in my car but this is a great idea to have for times when I don’t want to lug the backpack around. Thanks for the video with all the details!!
Yeah, the idea is just something super light to grab when I'm running out with the kids.
