@@billelliott3507 because you can tell which direction you are going nearly at all times.

You sure could carry both
A map takes up zero space. So why not map and compass? That way you can figure out where on the map younare if you don't know. And the sun and moon are often never directly west or east. (Just be sure to get a compass with no metal to screw with the needle)
Bug spray. I'm in SE TX, we have mosquitoes 12 months a year. So many people forget it. A head lamp with a red light will attract a lot less bugs at night to your face than a white one.
Mosquitoes are such a nuisance which people tend to forget about when prepping for even just a casual hike. Probably because movies are so unrealistic and don’t show how drastic the bugs can and will get in all of USA(some areas less than others, and seasons matter also)….flies can also be a big nuisance along with ticks, fleas, chiggers etc…
Lot of good extras in the last frame too. Something not mentioned or seen that I would add: a microLED light (keychain sized), preferably with red filter
@@abc456f I am not in this niche language, but I think less chance to be seen from far away. And as another commentator said: they will not attract bugs like white light (just learned this today).
Extra clothes, sleeping bag, and road flares. After living im Alaska, I keep a full tote in the back of the car with basic camping gear. Every now and then go camping and then replace the food and think about other stuff you might need. If it doesn't fit in the tote, you probably don't need it.
I think in Norway at certain roads during winter it is mandatory to keep supplies for 24hrs in your vehicle. There's a tv series about norwegian winter roads and often there was people waiting for a road to be opened for 12-30 hours and there was no motel or hotel anywhere near, so they stayed in their cars for the timeperiod Few hours it's possible and even 8 but nearing 20hrs no food or water it takes really a special kind of a human to just wait for the road to be plowed. I personally carry 2 fleece quilts, 2 spaceblanket sleeping bags, entrenchingtool and a firestarter and a first aid kit. And when going for more than a walk distance a toolkit. Been planning to implement a large garden candle those that has inch thick wick and burns for days
A can of wasp spray for a less than lethal defensive weapon... It gives you distance that pepper spray can't give because it sprays 10-15 feet because it's made to reach wasp nests high up in the eaves of a house or the branches of a tree.
@@SweetStuffAustin I wouldn't keep it in a vehicle where it can be exposed to excessive heat. It's safer to keep it in your home near doorways & maybe a can at your desk at work & another can in your bedroom. Recently, I had forgotten a butane lighter in my vehicle. The next time I used the vehicle, I found fragments of the lighter all over the vehicle. A bit disconcerting, to say the least.
If you are going to get small pliers get the knipex cobra pliers. They are so much better than your average pliers. Im diesel tech and use them all the time.
I love mine. I have the same one he showed and I always carry a smaller one on my belt with my Leatherman multi tool. Channellocks are good. Knipex are better.
Expert tip, leave all those items visible in the backseat with the doors unlocked or window down. Thieves will assume that somebody else was in the process of hittin a lick and will avoid the car altogether. Nobody tryna die over $23.65 and a pack of pall malls.

Those are useful items unfortunately they are common thieves tools and can get you legal trouble even if u haven't done anything. My buddy caught a charge in nevada for sitting in his car late at night and all they found was a screwdriver and pry bar. He had other tools as well but those were what they thought were suspicious. Its not right but you should consider it before you put it in rotation. Having a face cover could suck too although after covid they are more common.
There are great suggestions in other comments about items to consider adding. I wanted to weigh in on a couple of the items in the video and one addition. Socks: I'd recommend getting a good quality wool sock. If you're already wet or going to be walking a lot, artifical fiber socks can cause blisters. Wool is better at wicking moisture away from the feet, dries quicker, amd doesn't smell from wearlike regular socks. In the infantry, we wore one and carried one tied to our gear drying. Here's the addition, foot powder. If your feet go south, you're not getting out of the mess that put you on foot. Next, wire cutters. I learned this from a former SEAL on my team. We started carrying a small set of bolt cutters. They'll go through fencing and heavier gauge wire you're more likely to encounter much more effectively and with less wear. The set we carried were only slightly bigger than the average lineman's pliers. Of course, ounces make pounds and pounds make pain so that has to be considered for each individual. Since we always had a multi-tool on the field belt, we didn't need smaller wire cutters. Food for thought.
@robm6510 There were a lot of times I've had to make a fast entry in fencing. Injured person on the other side was just one. Another might be a lost and exhausted hiker or camper who encountered a fence they can't climb due to design or vegetation overgrowth, and they can't go around. All depends on the circumstances, not all fences are well-maintained livestock fences that you can slide through.
@@robm6510 If I need to pull off a road somewhere to hide from zombies and that involves going thru a fence, I'll probably fix it afterwards so it won't be obvious that I went that way. But seriously, not all wire is part of a fence. Animals do get tangled in fences. Or you could run over a loose piece of wire and wrap it around your axel or drive shaft. What if someone cut your fence, or a tree fell on it, and you needed to fix it? You might need to cut some wire to fix a fence, build a fence, or build some kind of project. Baling wire is the metal equivalent of duct tape. Fencing pliers also have a built in hammer, and they will cut small nails. They often have insulated handles also, in case you need to lift up a hot wire to pass under it. Although there are better gizmos for that if you do it often. They are super handy.
Not only do I agree about the less lethal options, Fox Labs Five Point Three (million Scoville Heat Units) pepper gels and sprays are some of the most powerful you can get. They also make pepper spray grenades ..... for some odd reason..... 🤔 Haven't really figured out what those are for just yet.
As has been stated ad nauseam... A "faraday bag" is a gimmick for people that don't know how faraday cages work. First and foremost you need... a connection to ground. Faraday bags, faraday wallets, faraday shoes.... You would benefit as much from a big piece of aluminum foil wrapped around your phone when it's off... AND it's MUCH cheaper. There are UA-cam videos that demonstrate this point by measuring differences. Go watch them, please. Also, a white paint pen and a sharpie. Then you can write on almost any surface.
A set of thicker gauge jumper cables. A car self jump starter with usb c/lightning cables to charge your phone. A wool blanket. Water(empty in Winter). A sealed roll of TP. A spare change of clothes + a hoodie. A boo-boo kit. A small medical kit. A collapsible shovel for snow. A retrieval strap. A plug in air compressor tire inflator.
I live in a hot area and keep pepper spray in my car. I made a container to hold the pepper spray out of some leftover mylar/bubble wrap. The mylar pouch keeps the pepper spray within the manufacturer's suggeted temperature range, even when the car is at its hottest.
Ya don't need a stake in the ground ... just ground it to any Jbox in any house ... which is probably grounded to a stake in the ground ... ummmm never mind!! 🤯
If you're trying to get into things and have space in your kit, there are some pretty cool options. Prybars are nice but an inflatable bag will give you room to work without tying up a hand. A basic kit from Sparrows will also go a long way with a little practice.
Gloves I go with buckskin leather ones, since they can handle heat too. I pull stuff out of the oven with them. For the gaiter, a full sized shemagh. Bit more weight, but worth it for all the other uses, from towel, to small blanket, sun shield, pillow, etc
All good things, that even if carried together for legal purposes, will be called "burglary tools" by an overzealous cop. Just like most of the stuff I carry every day. I need to add some of that stuff.
Often, for the burglary tools charge to stick, the completion of a crime like burglary has to have been committed first. Merely having tools won't be sufficient to get the charge.
That's not how that charge works. Possession of burglary tools is a felony in some jurisdictions but what it really means is "possession of tools during the commission or attemptdd commission of a burglary." The tools alone are only one element of tge charge that must be proven in court. You have to actually be doing something.
A whistle, Swiss knife, rope, bandages, waterproof bags, torch with strobe, poncho, trash bag (don't laugh - it saved my gear from being soaked by icy rain). Every person has his/her own preference.
Not bad my man. I'll check your channel out. Even if i already carry most of what you said based on my own experience you have a few ideas nobody mentions. You have a couple new things to me!
Tip for a vehicle bag women's pantyhose they're good for so many things but mainly the one that comes to mind is you can actually tie them together and use them as a replacement for a belt that gets shredded or snaps or what have you and it will hold surprisingly and it works I've seen it.
Absolutely, I've been on field oos before where a change of underwear and socks completely recharges you. I would also put them in a waterproof bag because having wet underwear ride up your crotch is among the most annoying, and chafing experiences ever!
I've got a Vanquest edcm huge maximizer in my car's console full of stuff, just for every day driving. Then I have a Vanquest trident 21 backpack bursting at the seams loaded with anything I could think of. It's a combo bug out or get home bag. 72 hours of MRE biscuits, (they actually taste really good). If I'm driving long distance or staying overnight somewhere, it goes in my trunk. Always have a gun in my pocket and the ar-15 will also go in the trunk. If I break down in the middle of nowhere, I want my rifle with me.
Was there ten years ago. Now I have a bus because the trunk ran outta space for what I think I may need, and decided to just take a well equipped RV with me...😂
Much depends on where you are and what you expect to be doing. I’m 70 and I’m still refining my EDC. Whether it’s your get-home bag, your normal vehicle emergency equipment, or the EDC in your clothing, constantly take note of what you need: “I had a hatchet but that’s the second time I could have used a claw hammer; maybe I’ll add one the truck.” or “I got by with the Leatherman, but that sure would have been easier with small Knipex pliers or pocket Crescent.” Then periodically go over everything and see what you can discard. “Can I make that pocket trauma kit a bit smaller?”
And a roll of toilet paper. I've traveled in a third of the world's countries, break away states, and occupied zones. Concur also with lighter, life straw, headlamp, and pad and pencil. Use a lensatic compass.
Most leathermans come with a small prying tool & wire cutters so that’s a go to for me, then you would have an extra knife(fixed blade) and maybe pepper spray, mechanics gloves, pen and notebook, laminated physical map, if this is for a car load out, always carrying an air compressor and a backup jumpstart, and sleeping bag/blanket & pillow.
Instead of mace/OC spray - get bear spray. The reason is that sometimes trouble comes in multitudes Bear spray comes in a bigger container and can shoot its fairy dust at a much greater distance with more payload.
Everything but the wifi blocker. If you are On the right side of the situation having your location tracked might be what saves your ass if you are on the winning side of an altercation, incapacitated or captured.
Plus tge people who can use tech like that ..the bag doesn't block everything you can all but destroy a phone and it can still be tracked the kinda metals and curcuit boards hell the battery is so unnatural a geology major could rent the equipment to track it through the woods
First - kudos for Knipex pliers 😁 They are simply amazing, and you probably have those 110mm ones. There are XS (smallest and with a different catch mechanism), but unless you are doing any special jobs where you have just a few mm gap to grab something, those bigger ones are better IMHO. Second thing, having an extra change of underwear is precious. You can search for a "military roll" to see how you can take a t-shirt, undies and a pair of socks, to make a small "sausage" you can put safely in the corner of your trunk just for that bad time most of us get when we think there is nothing worse that could happen 😏
A few things I'd add to your list are: 1) leader wire and some hooks and snare wire 2) a Lifestraw 3) a tarp 4) some ParaCord 5) Water ... at lease 20oz. in a non non-plastic fire heatable container. 6) some water decontamination tabs 7) and a roll of quickly biodegradable TP.
You’ve obviously never depended on a life straw. They are miserable to use and can fail at their basic task, making water drinkable. They sound good on paper, but are trash in reality.
I never leave the house without at least 30 pounds of gear. That way I am always ready for any imaginary tactical missions.
Just carry imaginary gear. It’s lighter.
who need a neck gaiter when you have yesterdays underwear
I live by this rule lol

It's a combo bug out or get home bag. 72 hours of MRE biscuits, (they actually taste really good). If I'm driving long distance or staying overnight somewhere, it goes in my trunk. Always have a gun in my pocket and the ar-15 will also go in the trunk. If I break down in the middle of nowhere, I want my rifle with me.
Was there ten years ago. Now I have a bus because the trunk ran outta space for what I think I may need, and decided to just take a well equipped RV with me...😂
Gloves are a must
Much depends on where you are and what you expect to be doing. I’m 70 and I’m still refining my EDC. Whether it’s your get-home bag, your normal vehicle emergency equipment, or the EDC in your clothing, constantly take note of what you need: “I had a hatchet but that’s the second time I could have used a claw hammer; maybe I’ll add one the truck.” or “I got by with the Leatherman, but that sure would have been easier with small Knipex pliers or pocket Crescent.” Then periodically go over everything and see what you can discard. “Can I make that pocket trauma kit a bit smaller?”
Good advice!!
Nice equipments!!
A few ziploc bags or small kayaking dry bags wouldn't hurt. Keeps important things dry in the elements if need be.
ahh yes, and a small kayak as well, or perhaps a fold-able canoe. I never leave home without one
You forgot the sidearm.
There are pliers with wire cutting-edge so no need to have two similar tools
And a roll of toilet paper. I've traveled in a third of the world's countries, break away states, and occupied zones. Concur also with lighter, life straw, headlamp, and pad and pencil. Use a lensatic compass.
I have most of that but didn't think about the socks and underwear. Good one.
Most leathermans come with a small prying tool & wire cutters so that’s a go to for me, then you would have an extra knife(fixed blade) and maybe pepper spray, mechanics gloves, pen and notebook, laminated physical map, if this is for a car load out, always carrying an air compressor and a backup jumpstart, and sleeping bag/blanket & pillow.
I find your lack of 550 cord disturbing.
New to this channel. Love it.
Gotta have a flashlight and some batteries
Tarp. Raincoat. Umbrella.
Have you ever heard of a gravity hook? I carry one on me they are kinda fun but very handy too.
So funny to say "get a compass so you know how to get there" is it like Jack Sparrow's compass?
Great info!!!
You should call this video: 10 things every real man had in his pack at age 11. I added a smith and wesson at 13.
Water/filter, trauma kit... Will save your life far sooner all of this stuff.
Yes but that is not usually forgotten.
... nicely done, sir 🤔
I genuinely agreed with everything on your list, and I give it a big thumbs up
You should mention why for each.
Instead of mace/OC spray - get bear spray.
The reason is that sometimes trouble comes in multitudes
Bear spray comes in a bigger container and can shoot its fairy dust at a much greater distance with more payload.
Very helpful, thanks
Water, a shovel, and jumper cable more useful than all of that shit unless you’re jason bourne a faraday bag a ski mask are basically useless
Very good list. I will check out your website.
Everything but the wifi blocker. If you are On the right side of the situation having your location tracked might be what saves your ass if you are on the winning side of an altercation, incapacitated or captured.
Plus tge people who can use tech like that ..the bag doesn't block everything you can all but destroy a phone and it can still be tracked the kinda metals and curcuit boards hell the battery is so unnatural a geology major could rent the equipment to track it through the woods
@@havelthebonk1226not in a faraday case. Completely blocks any signals out or in….
😂 brethren
This feels like a kit to Rob a store
😂😂😂
Yes 🗿
I know right 😂😂😂
Got similar Magpul gloves and love them!
Looks like a good way to get arrested for 'going equipped'
You must be Canadian or European.
Those are mini bolt cutters not wire cutters. That is a nail iron or cats paw not a pry bar
A fellow Knipex pliers fan 👍🏼😁
Along with the undaware and socks id have a dpare pair of jeans/ shirt , and a pair of slip on shoes! Plus a bottle of water , and mre!
Good list
First - kudos for Knipex pliers 😁 They are simply amazing, and you probably have those 110mm ones. There are XS (smallest and with a different catch mechanism), but unless you are doing any special jobs where you have just a few mm gap to grab something, those bigger ones are better IMHO.
Second thing, having an extra change of underwear is precious. You can search for a "military roll" to see how you can take a t-shirt, undies and a pair of socks, to make a small "sausage" you can put safely in the corner of your trunk just for that bad time most of us get when we think there is nothing worse that could happen 😏
Dude, im so happy, i literally have all of these in truck.
Ah haaa das German engineering of knipex😎 best hand tools on the market. (Better than snap on or mac)
For me wirecutter and pliers are in my leatherman multitool and they are top tier all in one
Add to that flashlight and some sort of blanket.
It’s a start. A start
I can just see a cop saying that's all a kidnap or kill kit...
Spate pair of prescription glasses
I'm confused about the Faraday bag. What's the purpose?
You pick up doggie doo with it
Can you show how to use a compass?
I carry a lot in my truck. To much untill I need it 😂
You missed some source of light. To be able see in dark is big advantage and it's overlooked
A few things I'd add to your list are:
1) leader wire and some hooks and snare wire
2) a Lifestraw
3) a tarp
4) some ParaCord
5) Water ... at lease 20oz. in a non non-plastic fire heatable container.
6) some water decontamination tabs
7) and a roll of quickly biodegradable TP.
A contractor trash bag or two.
You’ve obviously never depended on a life straw. They are miserable to use and can fail at their basic task, making water drinkable. They sound good on paper, but are trash in reality.
👍👍
