I carry a double ended (phillips and flat blade) pocket screwdriver to tighten loose screws on tray tables. It is TSA permitted when less than 7" long.
Nice video. i travel every week for work and I always think that, in the event of an emergency, my ultimate goal will be to get home to my wife. So I always carry a small, slim travel road atlas of the entire country with me. If my phone dies, I can navigate home with a good old-fashioned paper map!
As a seasoned traveller and experienced hiker & camper I see a lot of overlap. I love the Adventure Med Kits but often find that I have to "customize" my kits and suggest people do the same. They're great for base kits, but there are lots of great companies out there that have smaller First Aid Kits (made from Dyneema which is incredibly lightweight, smaller and water proof/resistant). I have a small red one in my EDC at all times w/ bandaids, triple antibiotic ointment, some gauze and assorted tylenol/dramamine/etc. Takes up less room and is just what I need. Make yours custom to your needs. Mine fits perfectly in the day sling I bring on trips w/ the rest of my EDC. Travel Safe!
Dave, I agree on the overlap between traveling & adventure. I also appreciate the comment about customizing the medical kits. I’ll check out the Dyneema kits…thanks for the info!
Great tips! I carry a butane lighter (like a Bic) which TSA allows. It's great for cutting synthetic cord because it seals the ends against unraveling. Also good for sterilizing a needle before digging out a splinter. A hot needle will also relieve painful pressure from blood under a fingernail after smashing the finger.
I have a similar kit. It must makes flying and traveling easier. I carry a Victorixox Jetsetter. No blade but it has scissors. I have not had any trouble with TSA in the US or Europe. I point it out as I go through security. I did find out last month that I couldn't take it to Disneyland.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your information and experience. There are two cutting tools that "always" fly with me in my under-seat bag. First, in my toiletries bag is a large toenail clipper. When brand new they are very sharp and can cut a number of small items. And it has hygiene uses so has never been questioned. I find it more useful overall than the smaller nail clippers intended for fingernails. The second rides in my first aid kit and that is a pair of trauma shears (aka EMT shears). There are many available from big box stores (as well as "that huge online retailer"). Look for shears that are 5 inches overall (TSA length limit for "tools" is 6 inches). I've never been questioned on those either because the tips are rounded and it is with my first aid supplies. Also, I don't smoke but I always have a small disposable lighter in my bag (like a Mini BIC). It is useful for a number of things (just don't use it on the plane).
Thanks for watching and sharing your ideas. Toe nail clippers are brilliant. I have fingernail clippers about half the time in my toilet bag, but adding a larger set makes more sense. Someone else mentioned shears and I thought it was brilliant. I honestly didn’t realize you could carry on scissors. It will definitely be an add! Thanks for the trauma shear idea. And I can’t believe my lighter wasn’t in my bag! Like you, I don’t smoke, but I used to pack one…so thanks for reminding me to add it again. 😁
Great ideas. A Swiss Army Knife 'Jetsetter' is TSA approved tiny multi-tool that has no blade and would offer you a decent pair of scissors to make that 550 cord much more manageable? Takes up nearly no space at all and also gives you a good pair of tweezers, a small phillips driver and a bottle opener. (A toothpick too, but that's nasty and a firefly ferro rod is a better option in that slot.)
for the guys a light weight knit hat will keep your head warm while you wait for a canceled flight in a cold drafty airport. Never know where you will end up.
I always have an Israeli bandage small and can be used as a tourniquet especially if the plane crashes lots of sharp objects also I carry an electrician scissors they are tsa compliant and they will cut anything
when i tell my flight is a week away and I didn't know what to bring, thank you so much. I hope the next time you do laundry you find $20 dollars in your pocket. may your pillow always be cold.
Thank you for your service and welcome home!! Have you considered small EMT shears or small bandage scissors? They take care of most of my cutting needs. David Navy vet🇺🇸🏴☠️😊
I worked at the airport and one of my fellow bartenders had her personal corkscrew confiscated because of the less than 1.5" blade made for cutting wine seals off the bottle. Depending on where you are your scissors or shears might be confiscated.
Good video and very interesting, but please note that if you have to evacuate a plane in an emergency you should not stop to collect your luggage. They make that point in the safety brief and on the information card.
Well done list, logical explanations. You need more subscribers. You consistently offer solid content without the blathering so common on many preparedness channels. Thanks.
Great Video ! I have a "Smoke Hood" for about 15 to 20 minutes of protection, then you have filtered air and can see for the two minutes to get off the plane ! Also may help in a building fire... For a TSA cutting tool use the EMT shears. tjl
I have one of the smoke hoods at my office (because I work in a multi-floor office building). Hadn’t ever thought of one for the plane. Thanks for the recommendation.
Always travel with the knowledge that the TSA guidelines are GUIDELINES. TSA agents have the final say. On a recent trip, I lost my EMT shears at one airport, my 2" forceps at another. Both are TSA approved, both ended up in the big collection boxes.
@@PrepHERedness My pleasure. My comments are meant only to make people aware that, while they may be following TSA posted guidelines, that it is still possible to run into an agent that uses their own judgement to determine how those guidelines apply. I will still carry my trauma kit, I will just not have my favorite shears in the kit. On one flight, I went through TSA checkpoint with shoes on, belt on, pocket contents in my hat in the tub. The next airport was an international gate to domestic gate, I literally walked off the plane, to the next gate TSA checkpoint. At this checkpoint, shoes and belt had to come off, pockets contents had to be inside my carry one, scanned, patted down and pulled aside for extra scrutiny of my bags. Such is flight.
@@williammoore6953 I get it! Traveling is always an adventure. And I think it’s good to hear experiences of others to learn what might work for us. I really appreciate the thoughts and engagement.
Great video! I am always trying to streamline my TSA edc on each trip. I’ve found that having small bills ($1s & 5s) and quarters have been very helpful for vending machines or when credit card machines are down…also, since I usually travel with just a carry-on & backpack and can’t bring any self-defense items, I bring my hydroflask with me to double as hydration AND a means of self-defense.
Hmm, I wonder if a munio self-defense keychain attachment would pass. It's a graphic piece of lightweight plastic formed in such a way where you can use the end as well as grip it and hit with the key end. It comes with extra rings to lengthen the reach. I have one on my keys and my kids' lanyards.
a cane, or a small bike lock (to lock your bag to a seat while you sleep ; -) ) makes a usable weapon that is tsa friendly as does a tube sock and three golf balls. just don't put them together till after you get through the security gate. Tactical pens, Zebra Pens, etc. Weapon is what you use an object for, not what the object was designed for.
I would add in small field notes (i.e Rite in Rain).. It's always helpful to leave a note to the response team where you heading, how many with you etc. , a nail clipper can use to cut things..slow but better than none. Very useful channel 👍
Great video!!! I carry my survival kit in my checked bag. My carry-on has my other survival gear/edc items not allowed in checked baggage or things I can carry in my carry-on bag like an extra survival blanket, an extra flashlight, an extra water filter straw, a first aid kit, a headlamp, an extra bandana, duct tape, super glue, a small sewing kit, a small can/bottle opener, a bag (with bobby pins, rubber bands, paper clips, safety pins, etc.), a glow stick with holding tube, a tsa approved multitool, small scissors, extra nail clippers, extra tweezers, unisex portable urinals, etc. Those cloths you mentioned might be added to my kit too. In my carry-on bag/personal item bag I carry part of my hygiene kit, my electronics kit, games, books, an extra set of clothes & pajamas, etc.
Love the idea of adding a second bag in my checked luggage (although most of the time I only carry-on). Appreciate all the extra ideas. Thanks for watching.
In England in managed to carry on a button compass and lighter anything looking sharp and pointy is of course a nono. So any plasters have to be pre cut. Welldone on getting water past security. Aspirin immodium and paracetamol.
@PrepHERedness Your stated goal was "to block out the world". That goal precludes awareness. I share an office with someone who wears earbuds and drums his fingers. He is completely oblivious. Mostly, he is using the earbuds in silence, but still oblivious. Obviously, drumming your fingers is a bad habit, but it obnoxious. His fix is for me to get earbuds, so I won't hear his drumming. My solution? Remove a finger when he makes obnixious drumming sounds. Your are free to make whatever decisions, right up to where your choices intrude on my freedom. As part of your choices, if your decision to check out on the world results in you getting hit by a car, so be it. You made your choice. If you don't hear the horn, Darwin will win. And I am all for this. It is impossible to deprive yourself of one of your senses, yet still be "aware" using that sense.
You’re very lucky that it hasn’t yet been confiscated by the TSA. They will eventually take it if it has any kind of a blade. They took one that was a keychain on my keys & had about a 1 inch blade. I flew with it for about a year until I went to Orlando.
The first part of being prepared is being aware. As you said, you use your Bose to "block out the world". Fail. I encounter obnoxious people like this regular. They are absolutely oblivious to their surroundings, other people, and the environment. These self-centered people should never be out in public. They are incapable of walking a path properly, let alone driving. But, you do you. I just wish the rest of us did not have to put up with such people.
Thanks for your perspective. I would argue you can be aware and still have on headphones, but I understand your point. Appreciate you offering an alternative view.
New subscriber here. You have some really good ideas! I keep some moleskin folded flat, Benadryl, Pepto tabs, antidiarrheal tabs, in mine also. It's important for people to customize their kits for their needs! I also keep an extra pair of merino wool socks and lightweight gloves in my personal item bag, due to autoimmune issues. I'm happy I found you and your channel, we can all share ideas and continue to be more prepared! Stay safe!
Is that compressible toilet paper or just towels? There's a difference. Toilet paper easily dissolves in water - that compressed towels in tablet form however are made from cotton, not wood and don't dissolve and may lead to clogged outlets
Great distinction! These are the towels made of cotton. In an emergency situation I wasn’t anticipating having a toilet, so these would be buried or thrown out in the trash. But you’re absolutely correct on not wanting to flush them. Thank you for the clarification.

So glad to hear you say you want to be more in control of your surroundings. Someone once said to me you like to control your environment. Well yes I do. Anything else is Chaos!
After reading TSA guidance it says the following: Scissors Carry On Bags: Yes (Special Instructions) Checked Bags: Yes If packed in carry-on, they must be less than 4 inches from the pivot point.” With that guidance I would think, yes.
Because there are no liquids, you should be able to run it through the scanner regardless of which security line you go through. I am TSA pre-check, so I have never had an issue at all. Hope that helps!
Wow, I can't imagine spending so much thought effort on so much wasted weight and space. You could access basically all of that from the supplies on the plane if necessary. And if a bandaid will fix it, it doesn't really need fixing. Not trying to be a hater, I just don't agree with the value vs expenditure proposition.
Won’t watch your videos. I put it on because I had no idea what a “prepper” is nor do I know what an “edc” is. Explain yourself without these new fangled abbreviations.
But if you watch you’ll know what they mean 😁. In all seriousness, these are very specific terms in my community, so if you aren’t familiar with them my channel probably isn’t for you. Thanks for stopping by.
A prepper is someone who prepares for emergency situations. EDC is an every day carry kit. It might be a good idea for you to start watching "prepper" videos so you too can be prepared. People might not be able to take care of you in an emergency situation even though you might be expecting them to. I recommend a 72 hour emergency kit to start with, along with a Hospital go bag (an overnight bag ready in case you have appendicitis or something else), and a bug out bag (in case of house/apartment fire) for when you have seconds to escape. Now you know more and can decide if you want to take responsibility for your own well being or rely on the general public who might not be prepared either.
Why would you even click on a video that has words you don't care to learn and understand, then? Problem's with you, buddy. The call is coming from inside the house, lol.
Make sure you carry a 10mm wrench to tighten those bolts on the Boeing jets.
Probably not a bad idea 😂
😆
A sign if the times
I carry a double ended (phillips and flat blade) pocket screwdriver to tighten loose screws on tray tables. It is TSA permitted when less than 7" long.
Don't forget a spare bag of bolts to fill in the gaps around the door plugs!
🌷P32 or p54 can openers are allowed😊

Are EMT scissors allowed by TSA ?
After reading TSA guidance it says the following:
Scissors
Carry On Bags: Yes (Special Instructions)
Checked Bags: Yes
If packed in carry-on, they must be less than 4 inches from the pivot point.”
With that guidance I would think, yes.
Are you asked to empty your bag or is it able to just run through the scanner?
Because there are no liquids, you should be able to run it through the scanner regardless of which security line you go through. I am
TSA pre-check, so I have never had an issue at all. Hope that helps!
Other than mints, you did good!!
Love it!

Wow, I can't imagine spending so much thought effort on so much wasted weight and space. You could access basically all of that from the supplies on the plane if necessary.
