That's a nice, compact kit that covers all of the basics. Since I work out of my truck, I've always got full M3 bag medical kit and a tool bag about twice that size with me. I also carry a smaller IFAK, trauma kit, and tool/survival kit on a riggers belt along with my GHB in the back of the truck.
Love your videos that go into the thoughts and practicalities behind your gear choices. Little ease-of-use tricks like red paracord on one of the compartment zippers are so valuable. On a side note, your Amazon gear list links to the 125mm version of the Knipex Cobra, while you have the 150mm in your video. (see product number on the handle, ending in 150) Thanks for another great video!
Should get incharge 6 max power cable used it to replace all the diffrent charging cables in my edc bag helps alot with space. Also a tip iv done is get a metal slid on shell for a large bic then i have room to wrap standard eletrival tape 1 inch gorrila tape and about 10 feet of micro cord around it
Awesome kit Aaron, well done 👍
I’m still rockin’ my “Man Purse” a Old Craftsman 10” tool bag. When it comes to needing light weight minimal tool set I use a tool pouch from the enduro/dual sport world from Klim. Apx. 10”x5”x2” made to utilise exterior pack straps but easily slips into what ever pack I’m using. My basic med kits are still separate though I would like to combine them with my trama kits. Think I got the idea from you years ago to transition for black kits to Color Coded pouches which has made them much easier to find. But I’m “Old School” my main tool bag blade is still a Boker Titan from the 440c days...lol
Seems like a very well thought out kit to me. Good job, Aaron 👍🏼
Thanks so much! 👍
My edc is simple, a folder and a SAK. If I’m gonna need more I grab my tool box. A must when I visit my kids! Sometimes this requires a 5 gal bucket filled with other things as well!
It would be sweet if I had the patent on the five gallon bucket.
I recommend the BUDI cable. If you don't mind giving up some reach and don't want to carry all those cables. I just got one off amazon a couple months ago and I love it.
Anker makes a 3-in-1 cable that does Micro USB, USB-C and Lightning with a single cable. Might make more room in the pouch. I have those triple charge cables everywhere like my EDC bag, in the truck, in the emergency bag, etc.
It’s large but I do like it. I particularly like those three large pockets (the ones that fit your Anker backup power supply).
I have used the liner lock version of the workpro for a while great loaner, I also keep one in each of my vehicles in a secure location with a hook blade as a seat belt cutter, the button lock will be taking it place since it can be used one handed.
Awesome!!
Some great items I just ordered that bag ratchet set and some other items you had through you links there gonna be great additions to my edc thanks so much for the video
Awesome! Thank you! And glad they gave u some good 💡
90% a bad idea. The largest the bag the more likely it will be left at home. When I need first aid, I need first aid and no distraction of other gear. One bag is only suitable if you carry the pouch in a backpack, too much weight for a shoulder bag, too big for cargo pocket.
I carry a leather satchel, it’s 18” and I can comfortably carry everything I need. I have my first aid kit in the main pocket so it’s easy access
I gotta hand it to ya, the tool setup sure seems to hit all the right buttons. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it and appreciate it.
Thanks 👍
A really dangerous clip - for my wallet. A lot of new ideas. 😃 I didn't know about the Niteize gear ties until now. I'll definitely take a look at the Klein tools, too. Thanks for the presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Gideon not that anyone cares but I carry a Milwaukee pen light and a Swiss Army evo with scissors/ Philip head screw driver. Nice kit you got there!
Thanks for sharing your loadout 👍
Germans pronounce the i in Knipex as you did with the i in verdict. It's just a short e-sound, we don't have the ay-sound for Knipex. In Germany, we say Knipex (k-nee-pecks) instead of knaypecks. And yes, the little Knipex is really handy, fits in every pocket and you have it always on hand when you need to fasten something. Combine it with a Victorinox and you are prepared for 80% of all daily tasks. Nice kit btw.
Right on and thanks for watching and sharing your take!
Good stuff. Excellent
Great EDC system. Very well though. I carry almost 60% of the stuff you have in yours. This video will definitely help me upgrade my pouch. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Love LAPG I run their atlas sts pants on duty as a LEO and ran their EMS strech as a medic once upon a life ago
Ya they do have some excellent gear!
@@gideonstactical one of my favorite pieces from them is the bailout bag he regular size one super useful bag. I also love their 5 in 1 duty parka which is the coat I run at work and it sands up to Nebraska wind and temps so that's saying something
@gideonstactical side note check out the TruSpec 24/7 expedition pants they are like a tactical pant meeting a hiking pant with zip vents and solid design. Also thanks for introducing me to the Ferrosi hoodie I bought one and now I have 3 and the Foray II so comfortable
Man.. you carry a lot of ........!! Cowabunga.!
Have you ever checked out any Rolling Square chargers like the InChargeX 6-in-1? Very handy, imo. It has USB A, C, Micro, and Lightning, all in a very compact size. I replaced all my separate charging cables with one of these, and it saved me a ton of room in the Maxpedition mini I carry.
Will do!!
Nice grab pouch for a holiday trip, but EDC? A victorinox climber has been my edc tool for 20 years now :-). But I saw some good ideas and directly added them to my holiday grab-bag. Thumbs up again.
Great video. Good pick on the instant coffee. If need to go instant, Alpine Start is my choice as well.
It's so good! Thanks for sharing
Very inspiring !! Thank you !!!
You are so welcome!
Walmart has a 3 in 1 charger that has micro usb, iPhone, and usb-c..they normally are in the check out isles…I carry those in my kits to cut down on bulk..
🙏 Thanks
Forgive me if I missed this but I do like to carry 2 sets of 2 different sized cable ties. 1 set of 2 small ties and 1 set of medium length/strength rated cable ties. I prefer the Ty-rap brand because of their stainless steel barbs vs. plastic barbs. Anyhow, I find these as valuable as duct tape and they weigh almost nothing.
Pretty comprehensive yet still compact kit. 👍
Indeed!
Amazing. Great job.
Thank you very much!
What is this that ting wrench called again been looking for it to complete my kit thank you and nice vod very informational
In my work edc pouch I have the rolling square incharge XL to load every single device: it’s like the Swiss knife for charging
Nice!!
Hi Aaron. That is a great kit . Thanks
Glad you like it
Great video - you may want to look at the InCharge XL or InCharge X for an all-in-one "charging" cable. I love the convenience - let me know what you think
I will take a look!
Well mine is more basic in nature....but that ratchet set is something i will be adding to my EDC kit....thanks for the video....some good ideas overall ...keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
@@gideonstactical yw
only thing yer missing with the tools are some torques bits for your knives and electronics. I also find that some hex end drill bits come in handy.
Good thought I have them in bedded in my sharpener I showed and my Leatherman bit kit had a few as well. 👍
Kuh-nip-x is the correct pronunciation.
There’s even a fun t-shirt they sell with the phonetics on it.
Good stuff as always!
Thanks for the info!
Thank you great information
Glad it was helpful!
Great little kit! Did I miss you mentioning zip-ties or could they be a nice addition?
Enjoy all your videos! Maybe I missed it but what pouch is that? LA Gear?
No it’s some basic brand off Amazon. Link in the description 👍
Great video always need tools be ready that's what do always be ready like nippers pliers very good tool 🔧❤
Great 👍 bag
Good, comprehensive setup and that Klein 65200 looks like an awesome piece of kit! Have you ever carried any type of expandable towels like Wysi Wipes ? I have found them to be extremely valuable as part of my kit.
No! But I will have to think on that 👍
Great addition. I have a few "portawipe" tabs in my EDC pouch, and I find myself using them more often than I ever would have imagined. They're tiny and light and can be crammed in whatever spare space you have in your kit, and are useful for cleanup tasks, hygiene tasks, medical tasks, shoot, even emergency fire starting if that situation ever arises.
Highly recommended addition to any pouch or bag.
Like the kit if you have space & carry options to have it on you! One question, though: no Spork or small spoon? In EDC it comes in handy so often, at least for me.
I thought about it but have never really needed one. 👍
Me too, Aaron. I do not carry a spork in my pocket kit and have never needed it. I do carry one in my day pack but have never used it
Love your channel. What pouch is this?
Thanks so much for the comment. It is in the Amazon link in the description
So I noticed you carry a Leatherman and a whole host of tools that more or less do the same job. I'm not trying to troll but I'm curious if you would be interested in piggybacking off this video to show the benefits of carrying both or is it best to leave the multitool out of the kit and just carry the Knipex, ratchet kit and dedicated knife. Thanks for the great content.
Excellent question, I think if the knipex had wire cutters on it we could possibly do that. But there is also the benefit of having so many integrated tools in one pocket size tool like the charge. But I may do a second video as you describe
@@gideonstactical I appreciate the response a second video would be great. I did not consider the wire cutters.
Nice setup, Aaron. Lots of great ideas! I also carry a mini ratchet in my EDC, so the nut driver set really caught my eye. I also love the little utility knife. I currently carry a little Husky lockback one, but the Workpro would be even better! The only thing I wonder about is the durability of the pouch over time. I've been using pretty heavy duty pouches - mostly Ironland tool pouches, but I like the multi-compartment pouch as well. Last thing - the red zipper pull on the FAK side? Genius!
Thanks and the pouch is definitely not some heavy duty work pouch. But I’ve had it since September and used it daily and I’m not seeing any issues so far and thankfully even at the price of $15 for last a few years and then I need to replace it. It’s better than dropping 50 on some of the higher end brands.
@@gideonstactical That's really good to know! Thanks man!
G'day Charles, how ya do'in mate ? Yep like the mini ratchet/nut driver set too. Personally I have more of a need for internal hex/torx drives; with some you can insert common 6 mm, (here in metric), hex shafts; or whatever the norm is in imperial over there, I suspect 1/4 ?
I do have a spring loaded adapter from 1/4 square drive to 6 mm hex but for an EDC kit, it is quite heavy/bulky for the privilege. Yes I can see the benefit of HD pouches, I still like a decent small daypack though, since there's always extras to carry; a jacket, food, water, coffee perhaps ................. or more importantly a few "frothies" ; ) Cheers Duke.
P.S. oh yeah, of course, the other alternative to a horizontal ratchet handle is a vertical screwdriver ratchet handle; the one I have is decent, (Kinchrome branded), and yes more bulky than the horizotal job, but does provide bit storage inside the handle, pros and cons.
@@eyeofthetiger4184 Hey Duke! All's well with you?. I use a 1/4 inch ratchet and carry a little strip with a mix of Torx, Flathead, and Phillips bits. Hence, the nutdriver set looks like a good addition for me. I do the Knipex pliers too. I'm with you on having a bigger bag but I'm glad to hear that kit Aaron is using is holding up.
@@charlescollier7217 All good here Charles, quite a list of jobs at the moment, but hey being busy is its own reward.
That makes perfect sense mate, always best to use the correct socket/driver where possible. I believe the Knipex jobs, (what we call multigrips), are very pricey but extremely good; seriously interested myself, such a versatile tool.
I really dig Aarons kit, but not much room for extras and I'd be wanting at least a shoulder strap, or belt attachment method, hands free carry is not negotiable I reckon. In fairness, I s'pose he can easily throw his kit in any larger bag, though personally I prefer to utilise the organisation features inherent in the bag design, i.e. one less layer of access and you dont need to pull the pouch out to get at those items.
Btw; do you strike many metric bolts/nuts and screws ? I certainly can justify having imperial sockets/spanners, measuring tools, not so much for EDC, but indeed in the home workshop.
Did you consider a small fixed blade instead of having two folding options and a Leatherman blade? Just curious.
I have and at some point I may switch it out, maybe next year video will have an update on that area.
One thing I have in all my edc/bug out bags is a mechanical can opener, why struggle with the opener on a SAK when you can make it so much easier?
Nice!!
Not much too add. Edc kits are very personal things. Things that I find essential, you may have no use for. Excellent video, sir. ( My personal edc/get home kit, is all in one 17ltr day pack. I like options. )
Right on and thanks for watching!!
I would say one thing missing was a space blanket.
Thank so much for the input!
Very good information
Thanks
For a channel that big im always confused with the mic difference levels.. a bit annoying to be honest. Theres a function who exist to make all your masters equal. Salute.
I will keep working on it
One of your best videos! Add a couple of zip ties and you are set!!
Dang your right!!!! How did I miss that
G'day Bill, fantastic point mate, gotta a couple of small ones in my med kit, but a few more beefy fellas have so many additional uses, ......... and for bugger all size/weight. Cheers Duke.
Very well thought out
Ps do you know Gideon means mighty warrior in hebrew
I did, or great destroyer, or one who cuts down! 👍. Glad you enjoyed the video too
I like lapg, sadly they haven't had my size for any pants in stock for it seems years. I gave up. It's just strange for a retailer not to have any stock ever for pants.
That is odd, I will have to bring that up the next time I discuss it with them.
@@gideonstactical yeah it is strange. This was even before the pandemic back when preparededmind101 reviewed their pants as bombproof.
What is the name of the new edc pouch? Did I miss that?
It’s some odd title, it’s in the Amazon link in the bio.
G'day Aaron, very similar to what I carry, just distributed across a "grey" daypack. Do you have an attachment method for carry on your person ?
Dig the integration of the med kit, since now it cant be separated. The red pull tag and quick deploy feature are winners too.
Also, like the mini ratchet. FYI there are some cyclists multitools/kits that are very suitable for general EDC; particularly if you focus on internal hex and torx bits as I do. I rely on linesmans pliers and a 6 in. adjustable spanner, (what we call a shifter), to take care of the odd external drive head. Though I do like the idea of the Knipex multigrips too.
Gotta love those Fat Max mini tape measures, (metric, 2 meters here), so handy !!!! for a few bucks each, I've got 'em all over the place. I remove the split ring and replace with a small carabiner. i.e. not permanently tethered to anything, such as keys. I tend to clip 'em to a belt loop on my trousers and in an EDC pack/pouch, clipping to the hole on an internal zipper pull does very nicely.
As well as paracord, I like to throw in some no. 36 bankline, probably use that more often to be honest.
Hate to admit it, lol, but a box cutter does make a lotta sense for the application.
Also when I take a tube torch alone, I throw in the ol' Niteze headstrap, since I dont always wear a "ball" or other brimmed hat, perhaps a beanie, or none at all..
Anyway, it's always gonna be very personal, but you've provided plenty of food for thought mate and it'll be interesting to hear how other folks go about it in the comments. Cheers Duke.
I want the pouch! Where do I find it!!?
Check my Amazon links in the video description
Why doesn't this bag have a shoulder strap? If you're going to carry it all the time, shouldn't your hands be empty? I've been looking for a bag like this for days, but I can't find it.
This bag is in the links, I don’t carry this standalone with me sometimes it rides in a backpack. Sometimes I’ll just carry then put it down next to me. Just depends on the situation. It would be nice if it did have the option for shoulder strap you could always attach it to the handle if you really wanted to.
OMG, I too carry a 2 pouch "system" and am looking to combine my EDC with my 1st aid
The two that I'm looking at is 5.11 Emergency Ready 'Pouch' 3L or the Emergency Ready 'Bag' 6L
That isn’t a bad option too
All this shit is brand new. Even the ones you "use a ton" don't have a single use blemish.
Hahah i don’t claim to be some mechanic or handy man, but I do use my gear regularly. Zoom it in and you will see the tape measure is full of gunk and needs to be replaced soon, the sharpener is worn to the point I need to do a deep clean on the ceramic and diamond stone, the knipex has one or to teeth that are starting to show some wear, my Leatherman has wear all around the pivot and all the blades have coating wear, my work pro cutter needs a new blade badly, the Klein kit and verdict are new addition to the rotation. Have then been thrown off the bed if a truck 🛻 ten times no, are they used in general maintenance at my church working building and grounds and around my home and rv 💯 % 👍
UA-camrs are all about new gear and ads disguised as "helpful advice". That is why I stopped watching Survival On Purpose and started calling it Sales On Purpose.
@@canadafree2087 Fair enough mate, me too, however it is an important source of income for many, I reckon its fair to say experience will tell you which work hard to "earn their keep" with honest appraisals/advice, as opposed to just a stinking pile of purely marketing BS. I couldn't see Aaron recommending a product or sponsor he didn't honestly believe was worthy. Bottom line for me; do I respect the guy's integrity ? and is what he has to say useful/valuable/interesting to me, or indeed someone else ? And if we get that far, ..... definitely some smile/laugh moments are always a welcome bonus. Cheers Duke.
👍
I can’t imagine the cost of all this stuff 😂
I have accumulated many of these over a decade. But your are right several hundred dollars worth of gear. I pray it never gets lost or stolen 😢
A good kit can save your life, or the life of someone you're with, hence priceless and worth every penny IMHO. Doesn't have to be exactly like his.
At 51, I get it. It took me years to not only aquire quality kit, but to narrow it down to just basics of what I need.
@@bfboobie I agree seriously
@@gideonstactical Worth every cent or penny though no doubt this kit will last you years !
missing a hammer
That is true. Having come across to many situations that I need it though.
Easy to improvise tool.
G'day mate, missing a crowbar, nailgun and compressor too ................. yes flippant, but gotta draw the line somewhere, it's an EDC pouch; ......... car camping for example, I'm with ya. Cheers Duke.
I had one but it has swelled up to a #Rush24 that is ALWAYS on me!
Yes, as mentioned about the price of the "ingredients" /components, mine is over 1,50,000 INR that is about $ 1,875, roughly. But, collected over 2 decades.
G'day Rahul, man the rush 24 is on the large side for EDC. Personally I'm lov'n the rush 12, which can certainly handle an overnighter or even a minimalist few days.
Yes I've been collecting for a few decades too and understand how easy it is to fill a larger bag, but have you considered streamlining it somewhat ? or is that undesirable in India ? or perhaps just personal preference ? Cheers Duke.
@@eyeofthetiger4184, what do I tell you, Duke! This Rush 24 is my life. Till I found my dog, #Dobby_Does in the jungle, my favourite line was, "Give me a reason good enough and this bag has everything that I need to never return back to my current dwellings." Now, I will have to go back once to fetch him and we could be gone, at a moment's notice, to anywhere in the world! Or, even out of it.
Yes, I keep streamlining it. I washed it last week and it's still unpacked. When sorting, many items will be removed. A new #Kansbol has been added and its location will have to be determined.
@@rahuldoes Thanks for the reply Rahul, that puts it in context mate and yep I'm with you, a dog is called "man's best friend" for good reason.
Glad to hear you take care of your gear ...... and it will take care of you.
The Kansbol is a great choice; if I remember correctly, thats the one that has the dual grind so it can do more things well in the same tool.
Where ever you end up mate, my sincere best wishes to you. Cheers Duke.
What's the name of the pouch
It’s in the Amazon links in the description. Some odd name
Edc is lyfee
LAPG are first rate jerks, or at least they were in the past. Have not done business with em for a few years now.
I am sorry to hear that, I have had several friends and family order through them and they have not had issues.
@@gideonstactical , thanks. I had bought from lapg for 3 or 4 years without issue with their service or products except once and they promptly took care of it.
My issue with them was a personal one brought up and instigated by someone at their social media controls and they let it stand.
I reckon we’re all gonna have a bad day once in a while.
I appreciate your reply and your channel.
