It’s funny, I’m an rn but I carry every item you listed every day and people think I’m nuts but I am not afraid the lights are going out and have the tools I need to function daily.
Outstanding people underestimate just how comforting having that preparedness can be
True statement. The knowledge that I have a fully stocked get home bag (mystery ranch scree 32) with 3 days of gear and water filtration, shelter and bug dope for Florida swamp life. I don’t do hiking boots. I wear altra lone peak 6 hiking shoes, my ifak fully stocked and my Fanny pack
With dc4, sak ranger, leatherman, lighter, and meds. Benadryl pills and cream. You know all the stuff you listed and then some. Great list man.
True story-- there was a guy who saved a lot of lives on 9/11 because he was able to lead people down many, many pitch black stairwells with his Timex Indiglo watch.
The lesson I took from that was: how much better off would all those people have been if that guy had decided to "EDC" a decent "tactical" pocket light?
Be THAT guy, but be THAT guy with an actual light instead of a lit watch
I agree with the list. As a field geologist, I found pocketwatches were a great way to keep things from getting torn up. Got into some mechanical vintage ones too, that are still amazing. Part of that was a prepping thing (EMP). Also, what he said about planners is spot on, they've made a bit of a comeback the past few years. People still find writing works in a different part of your brain.
Another great video, tons of good info with the usual "no punches pulled" approach. Keep them coming!
Lots more to come Meanie and I get together to talk sniper weapon systems, call out belts and plate carriers
Just got my new watch a week ago. I splurged and got a Hamilton field automatic. The durability of the sapphire crystal was super impressive so I committed to that buy once cry once and forever be done. I am super happy with it.
This is a video I keep coming back to as I slowly work my way through the list as budget allows. And I am finding each one does improve my life.
Glad to see you growing man thats awesome, and i like the new intro. You ability to feel relatable goes along way and aside from your content is what drew me to your channel, and im sure that's what other people are feeling as well. Everything was spot on in the video and alot of the items are things that used to be common but so many people have gotten away from over the years. Always looking forward to the next video!
I agree wholeheartedly you said what a lot of are thinking about Uncle Freedom’s content
I appreciate that! and glad you liked the new intro I figure ill just be me, I know I'm not for everybody but I'm perfe t for some folks
Good stuff as always. Be safe out there.
Thanks, will do!
I've said this before, but damn glad I found your channel. Always learning something new and taking a step back to look at my on gear and equipment. Really do appreciate the videos. Keep up the good work. Also enjoyed the new intro
Glad the intro hit home and really glad you're liking the content I'm loving making it.
Cool 😎 video intro! Hope you had a great day fishing. Excellent and thoughtful list. 👏
Glad you liked the intro not bad for a guy just figuring out how video editing works lol Glad you enjoyed the video
Well said. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yessir!!!, Digging the new intro. Keep em coming bro.
Glad you like the intro I'm stoked on it as well will adapt it as more footage gets shot try to keep ir up ro date. The Tandem shot with Meanie was a thing of beauty
Great video. The only two things I would suggest are gloves and a good cap/hat.
Those things are coming up on my winter list that's in the works along with things like wool coats and the stormy Kromer
Good shoes and proper insoles really help keeping my back and knee issues in check.
The sun hoodies are a game changer.
Notebooks are my go to at the farm. I have books for my animals, gardens, preservation recipes. Everything is written down. SHTF for one but it’s easy to pull out the specific binder for whatever I’m doing and have all the information from years past right there.
I'm that way with load data I have every load I've tried thw results and every gel shot with my measurements that's how I had all the data for my go and nogo ammos
100% correct on the socks. I get Darn Tough off of GovX for about $22/pair, but they have a lifetime warranty. You also cannot beat merino wool for when your feet get wet
I agree with everything mentioned. Fave flipper is Boker Plus Caracal, fixed is ESSE 4. Im a bit of a watch snob, almost all are autos. I need to up my pen game! Im a retired Combat Medic, so med is my thing. Drink water, take Motrin, change your socks...I like Bombas. Great vid.
I do like bombas and I'm an equal opportunity watch lover I own autos from seiko 5 and Vostok to Omegas and Breitling vintage and new I love my Hammys
Just found and subbed. Good stuff, keep it up!
Thank you!
Something for you to consider: For a long time now kids have not been taught how to write cursive in schools. There are 26-29-year-old people who were not taught how to write! Kids rarely use pens and rarely use notebooks. The world has changed and I will agree, not necessarily for the better. We have to come to grips with these changes to help young people flourish.
I agree to an extent but also believe is our job to teach them the old ways. My 7 yrr old was watching my write spaghetti letters so I showed her how
@@unclefreedom213Based
I don't use my phone for any social media crap. It's also almost always on mute unless I want to take calls. Just because I have a phone on me doesn't give you a right to reach me any time YOU want. It's a tool. If you can't be disciplined on how you use a tool, then you are a tool. I haven't thought about a mechanical watch in quite a while, but I won't wear one on my wrist anymore. That said, need to pick some up as backups.
Beyond that, a knife, light, and fire source are always must haves.
Noice content. Thank you UF.
Another good one. I need to get a watch 😁
Lots of great options I would ask yourself what you want from a watch. I wear the Eco drive so much now because shooting guns all the time beats up mechanical movements but I want it to be analog I get the best of all worlds
Love your video's, when you recommend a product do you mind leaving the website's for them in the description? Thank you and I hope your weekend is good
I have to be cautious with links to gun stuff YT is not a fan. Though I am building a link zone that will have links to everything with any discount codes I have
Great show bro
Glad you enjoyed it thank you
Very solid list, I didn't hear a single thing that I disagreed with. Thank you for sharing. It's great for men and young men to be able to get info like this. Young men if you don't have a male role model in your life, stick with this channel and take in the info. It's not just random regurgitated info. This is all info that he HAS EXPERIENCE IN AND WITH.
Thank you for that
Great list.
I really like my G-Shock solar powered watch. I have Tags and Omegas but wear the G Shock.
My dad, who had the best memory of anyone I have ever met, always said “A short pencil is better than a long memory.”
I had an old one, it lasted 8 years. Now I have a solar-powered one, it's already on 8 years.(the old one died when I replaced the battery.)
Your dad was a smart man I wear my 200 dollar citizen promaster pretty much everyday unless I'm doing stuff I know won't destroy them
A good everyday pen is the Zebra f-701. Its made out of aluminum and its under $10.
I prefer them over Skilcraft. To the point I bought them while Skilcraft were free at work.
I carry the 701 in my vest solid pens I've had those since we had to "mod" them in the early 2000s to make them all metal
Surprised you didn't mention a good solid belt. Btw you are spot on with your list!
A lot of people don’t have a ton of money so I buy, sog, cold steel, kershaw, gerber and smith & Wesson
Get the best you can afford
Love the new intro and the new camera dude!
Glad that intro is making a splash and yeah way way clearer image
I have a question regarding your older 223 self defense ammo, you mentioned the Hornady black 75g interlock, does the 62 fill the same niche?
Negative the 75gr is made to shoot from short barrels and expand you can't shoot it out of a longer barrel. For a hornasy loading I would look to the black 75gr bthp, or anything vmax for residential v max would be my first choice just flat devastation on soft tissues. Check out my top go ammo for rifle for more details hut me up on either outlook or IG if you need help
While I respect your opinion on watches, some of us have professions that prevent us from wearing one. As a mechanic, I have never been able to wear one. It's actually a hazard to wear one.
Oh yeah I have friends in those fields occupational hazard. I still think everyone should own one and wear them on a night out or when off. I feel naked if I don't have a watch
I have a serious problem with Merrell Moab’s. I worked outside walking about 12-16 miles a day depending on hours. The sides where my toes bent were holes within three months. I had Walmart shoes last longer…
Same experience here, blew out too quick for that price. Keep going back to Reebok Side Zips. Work great except on ice.
I've been lucky I guess only pair I've had an issue with in last 5 years were the Crosslanders and the lace loops tore out in 2 weeks. They did warranty them though and replaced them second pair are still around
My wife thought I was nuts buying a Fenix PD35v3 for 90 bucks. I’ve charged it 2 times in one year and I use it every day. S&W Extreme Ops Tanto folder knife, same Oakley sunglasses I’ve had since 2012…..just need a good multitool and a new backpack!
keep an eye on the Eberlestock outlet, steep and cheap, and look for coupons for 5.11 and kelty
If it tracks time mechanically, it’s officially awesome.
got me a grandmother that borders on being a grandfather clock from an old grandmother named Betty. We call it Betty. I love the fricking thing.
Agree with everything on that list. The only changes,for me are, cheap pens everyone takes mine, I get my legal note pads in the big Costco pack, and have a truck, garage, and untold junk drawer full of tool, so no " multi-tool".
Especially the real watch, flashlight, pocket knife nobody should ever not have those. Also love have sports style packs/bags/ gear that says outdoors dude vs. crazy prepper gun/knife guy.
I never hand out my nice pens and nice pens make note taking so much more enjoyable
@@unclefreedom213 Kid's and wife like to take and loose all writing devices. But I have always wanted to lathe turn wood/metal and give as gifts. It's a matter of time, I'll end up with something way to nice to use.
Due, love the new intro. I still have and use my grandfather watch, wind it twice a week
Glad you like it won't lie I'm proud of it, first time editing I have a couple of my grandfather's watches as well he's the one that taught me to love mechanical watches
Unc. What are you fishing for today? Fishing is a good way to unwind and decompress. It would be nice if you attached a copy of the list of the things you covered.
I was going after bass and got skunked the wife caught some channels
I subscribed to ya a while back, you got good information for the people out there.. good on ya.
The odd thing is, you couldn’t be more like myself if you tried… damn near all the things you do.. needless to say.. we should never meet, and definitely not be in the same room. Mushroom cloud.
I agree that would be bad like putting two redheads together.... and waiting for the portal to hell to arrive
Get you a Zebra F1 Steel pen. I started using the Zebra ultrafine pens to keep my logbook somewhat legible. Once I found the steel barreled variety, I won't use any other. Seriously, I have 3 of them in a pen holder on the visor of my Pete right now. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
My G-Shock syncs to the world time everyday so I don't have to worry about winding or making sure my mechanical watch is wound or on time. One less thing I have to worry about
Cool list.
Phone covers
Camera, notebook and pen.
I still carry a pocket kight but reaooy use my phone light the most. I carry a pen but cant see myself wasting $80 on a pen im gonna lose.
I also lose pocket knives and flashlights. So i cant see myself spending more than $50/60 for each of those. Guess thats a me issue. 😂
I have a buddy like that as well I feel for him
Unk i no this is topic but light video you did i tried it 50 metter is tuff. I hope i never half to make a life or death call. But if i do hope its closer than 50 metters been working in side my house. Out side 10 to 15 is tuff. Thanks sis.
I'm glad you tried it it really opens your eyes
I really respect your opinion on this man.....if you can get only 1 Spyderco for EDC.....you going PM-2 or Yojimbo 2???? Bout to make my decision and figured you probably know alot more about them than I do....thanks bro!! And really, thanks for responding to our comments, I'm sure you're already busy enough. It's appreciated though.
I have them both and they are both solid but if you want a user knife and don't want it mainly for self-defense, I would go PM2. The yojimbo2 is a slicer no doubt but the tip is incredibly thin, and I have broken them in the past. Short answer I own both and carry the PM-2 every day.
good solid list for newbie
btw dont loan your stuff
not your fault they didnt prepare
Amen and thank you
Streamlight USB Microstream Great little pocket light along with my parker cartridge tactile pen
I don't have the USB version I do have my og micro 13 years old still running
For hikers and every day wear- Danner Mountain 600 series. Incredible boots.
Danners are amazing boots love the Vital Trail I have one pair that are coming due Lowa is also amazing as are Crispi
Danners are great. My were not wide enough for me, even their extra wide pairs. Bummed, because such great boots in the mountains.
I just got a Bolt V2 from Karas Kustom in Brass
Love the Bolt have 2 myself and they are really fun to just fidget with
I would also add for watches there are the kinetic ones that don't need batteries and wind based just on wearing them.
Those are Automatics there is a kinetic that kinda functions the dame it's made by seiko
@@unclefreedom213 seiko and citizen has one also and maybe some others but those are the two big names I personally have. So long as you're wearing them consistently they hold time no problem for a few days. Date is another story so you have to manually keep that if power went out/batteries died.
Karas Kustoms for the win. Got about 10 of them and I regret nothing
Love them! I also love Tactile Turn, Ti2, and Fellhoelter lol
Spyderco is where it’s at! My fiancé still my PM2
Love Spyderco they are in my top 5 for sure the other 4 are
Zero Tolerance
GEC
Emerson
Microtech
@@unclefreedom213 benchmade has some really good offerings. For full tang knives I make my own. Out of blade steel, not some part found in a junkyard. In a prep for a 5160 seax knife with a 1/4” thick spine. When it’s done you should be able to beat it in to a tree and stand on it. That’s my “I have been homeless and I will fight this bear or you for what I need” knife
👍
Dude what deal did you hit up where a PSA AR15, magpul handgaurd, magpul vertical grip, aero precision ambi CH, and 2 stage trigger were less than $400? Cuz i need to start shopping there.
It was on PSA during thier 4th of July sale
I’m almost there, i don’t have a watch,planner,notebook or sunglasses lol. I was just talking about wanting to get a watch the other day,i used to wear a watch and then started working in a machine shop and just stopped. I just got my first nice knife and pair of boots this year,i got a spyderco PM3 lightweight and for boots i got a pair of keens. I wear my keens just about everywhere and my spyderco never leaves my pocket. I get alot of my nice stuff second hand or wait for big sales and end up saving a ton of money. You can get great deals buying stuff off eBay,tac swap,market place or where ever else just make sure to pay attention to peoples feedback!
Depending on your budget you can go as cheap as a casio duro for like 40 bucks, not books look at fieldnotes.com or story supply.if you don't need a big planner the standard memorandum from word or pocket calendar from ritein the rain. I live my larger planner and never thought I would want one that big but I use it to write videos I can't live without mine. Look on Midway USA for clearance Oakleys
Keens are awesome boots and can't go wrong with a PM3 I hit ebay all the time to get good deals
@@unclefreedom213 thanks man I’ll check that stuff out! I’ve been wanting to get a few notebooks i just really don’t live that exciting of a life so i keep putting it off. Never know when i need to write something down though and everytime i need to i never have paper but always have a pen 😂
Every time I wear long sleeves whatever watch I have goes nuts. Especially the ones I pull the stem to set time. It gets bumped by the sleeve and them I either go to the future or stall in the past.
perfect illustration of why I like screw down crowns
I learned one winter that your regular pen can freeze, never had a pen with a pressurized Fischer cartridge freeze…yet at least
Just an fyi, pens won’t work when it’s very cold/frozen, but a pencil will always work. King of like matches/lighter
True and not I work in - alot 2 great options are a gel pen they won't freeze and the space refills are also great
Ooo you have an opening scene now.
Seem to be well received lol
As always, awesome content. Please disregard the poor people who complain about adult language. Keep being fucking real.
This is my first video to get flagged for limited monetization I requested a review. So far I have even better mics coming with super long batteries for recording o. the range
I have a marine time Bulova watch but it stands out too much I've gotten a lot of compliments when I wear it. my EDC is a digital Casio w 800h simple clean reliable an has a 10 year battery life.
I have a few Bulovas a bunch that are vintage from 60s and one from 58 I do have an original Accutron Railroad and my new ones are the Lunar Pilot and my fav the Devil Diver. If I'm really gonna beat up a watch I rock my Luminox
@unclefreedom213 ah you have good taste sir that's quite a collection. I have only one Bulova at the moment, it's My First analog so I take good care of it. When I'm working or out they're roughing it that's what the Casio is for ,I don't know what it is, but there's something about the retro Simplicity of a Casio I appreciate.....
1) Do you have a recommendation for Tactical/Duty gloves?
2) Is there a better way to ask you off topic questions (no email/messenger/etc)?
email is at the end of video unclefreedom213@outlook.com
Gloves I love the Outdoor research Suppressor gloves usa made as well. Viktos wartorn insulated for duty when cold, Hatch mechanic on duty for warm, general use mechanix
Enjoy the content. Wish there wasn’t a F-bomb every other word though. Would be nice to listen while I was in the house around my son instead of having to walk outside or down to the shop
Agreed. This will be my last trip here.
I agree. And honestly, I don't like hearing it either, not just for my kids' sakes. I have worked really hard to try to not use foul language. I get that it's his channel, and he can say what he wants, and obviously we can just move on, but gosh, what a shame because it's great info otherwise.
I edited myself in my newer videos my kiddos heard the video one day and told me I said a bad word figured it was time to make a change
Finally, Someone that Gets the Mid length Gas. Plus You can run a bayonet on It, I tried a Friends 16" barrel with a Rifle length gas system Real Smooth running, But you can Not run a Bayonet on It. Deal Breaker........
I would put Esee at the top of the list for fixed blade knives otherwise you are on point. Just my opinion.
love Esse my 6 hm is my favorite fixed blade for the woods I do love my puukko though
I weld for my money and having sparks get under a watch is not a good time especially when it’s a good drip plus electrical currents fry the batteries so they don’t last to long for me
Unless you are damn good at assessing and reassessing your patient, ditch the chest seals. An open chest wound is a simple pneumothorax. If your seal occluded and you didn’t know, a tension pneumothorax occurs killing you quickly!
This has been preached to my from trauma surgeons and even by Col Stacy Shacklford. Who was recently over the joint trauma command for the military.
Just a thought.
Love the list! I have all but the planner and notebook. I use my phone for all of that.
In an end of world I would agree with close access medical care it's not really that big an issue. Though I agree you have to constant monitor for Indicators and Contraindicators. I'm sketchy about most trauma surgeons and the like. They view the world from a sterile clean place and not from an on the ground perspective. I have a trauma surgeon argue with me one time that if you leave a TQ on for over 30 minutes it will make them lose the limb. Again viewing the world from the sterile operating room view vs what we learned from 20 years of constant combat trauma injuries
Good video 👍
Add a shot timer, if you're serious about training, buy a shot timer! Then record your progress in your notebook with your fancy pen.
I get tired of students just wanging away with no goal and no means of measuring progress.
100 percent I mention shot timers in my range essentials and my range bag video
@unclefreedom213 I have taken to attaching your videos to my group training emails. I am going to have to look through your catalog for that range essentials video!
Add a good pair of leather work gloves and a nice coffee mug, cigar lighter and cutter
Or smoking a good cigar for that matter
Unc What time is this live stream starting also I would be interested in helping you keep the trolls off your live streams if you need any moderators let me know.
this one is not a live but I will be sure to let you know when I do we are planning lives with meanie
@@unclefreedom213sounds great thank just let me know
My Question is: Why carry the heaviest bullet? I've been trying to figure out why anyone would sacrifice speed for mass. I personally, prefer a 124gr bullet. I see no need for 147gr ammunition. What am I missing?
I still got my predator Ray-Bans Ray-Bans predators from when I was eighteen forty-seven now returned them twice to get new pairs because it happens and their warranty for life
I have three pairs of aviators all amazing though AO gives them a run for their money
I don't care about the time. Now. If I need to keep the time for whatever reason I'd agree. And I do keep watches handy for shtf but other than that I don't find it necessary. Also. Pocket watches are better than wrist watches.
Gotta be honest. Going to the store for some groceries, and coming home with a new gun and ammo instead, just sounds like good priorities to me...
*smirk😏
Sounds like an excellent plan
10:40 Damn, Suzie said that about you too?!
It's gotta be the name like Tiffany with an I
I pride myself in being able to shave with my knives. It’s a dying skill. I disagree on the planner I don’t forget shit and I feel the day I stop remembering stuff the same thing that happened with phone numbers will happen with everything else. 20 years ago I knew every phone number I needed then phones made that easy so I only know my wife’s phone number now. Keep your mind sharp by using it
The only thing you missed was a lighter other than that pretty spot on
I agree. I was trying to hit those things that people buy but maybe not the nice stuff if I had a lighter on there, but it would be a zippo without a doubt
Yup. The phone. Which we use to watch your videos.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn't say I'm not a distraction lol I try to be a useful one
@@unclefreedom213 you made my day. Not many people understand a rib nowadays.
it's hard to beat good quality tools. I've found it's better to invest in good quality than quantity.
True facts there I have a Chapman Screwdriver kit expensive as hell but worth every cent if you don't want to destroy the screws on you heirloom rifle
“Carry a multitool, not a Swiss army knife.”
“Use a planner, don’t rely on the one in your phone.”
Sir, please decide whether you were born before or after 1980.
All jokes aside, solid list.
I'm an old soul but born quite close to that year you've set
@@unclefreedom213 I didn’t want to assume, but it seems like there’s a definite generational divide around that year around those two sets of tools specifically.
Just so you know, I’m the industry “mechanical watch” means it’s either wound or automatic (think Rolex).
I'm a huge Mech watch fan I own everything from Seiko 5 and Vostok to Omega and Breitling
@@unclefreedom213 the Seiko perpetual calendar watch is the best budget reliable watch (I count anything under $300 as budget) watch I had ever had as long as you don’t mind the blacking of the bracelet wearing off on the bottom. I have sold so many watches and done some level of work on most brands. I used to change batteries on Patek Philippe. Talk about nerves
Your right as i sit here watching you on my iphone im being distracted so i will just turn this off😊
You don’t talk like any cop I know 😳
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Skill craft is a quality pen lol .....sure
it's better than a bic crystal or rsvp and they make great spit ball cannons
I don't agree w/you about needing a planner or that other thing...wait, what were we talking about?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
10 years no make wigwams are from when I was f******16 I got my first shotgun that your Christmas and I'm 47 wigwams or f****** best they just last I don't understand it got to pair then for Christmas and I have two pair of guided onto ever since then socks are the best on your feet so comfy
It's the truth to treat your feet while the last long
I've got a schizophrenic mind and a hammer. I'll just find out where preppers live lol
Another awesome vid, enjoy drowning those worms. My therapy is saltwater fly fishing, tarpon, shark, barracuda, permit. Have a great time and becareful.
I grew up Saltwater fishing the gulf family in Destin and I spent summers on the docks there was nothing like getting a big red to smash a spook
@@unclefreedom213 Destin, tarpon migration territory. I grew up in key west, fish and scuba constantly. Unfortunately I'm paying the price for that, 6 skin cancer removal. Hoping it don't go internal.
$140 is 300 rounds of 5.56. After a while you Creators forget what it is like to be poor, or maybe you never were.
Hahaha nope I've been in the game going on 20 years I save and buy stuff I make like 200 a month on youtube
Sorry bro, stream light fan boy. The Olights works great. Don’t turn this into a commercial. You will lose your true followers. Keep it real, what works.
