    I stopped paying attention when you said no throwing stars. Then no hook, how can you be taken seriously without a grappling hook. You must be paranoid to carry all that! I'm an over achiever...

    *It's so true the two kinds of EDC guys you mentioned.*
    *One guy will ask you even need to carry a gun, or a knife ...*
    *The other will complain you have only one knife, no backup gun, and don't carry three spare mags.*
    *Just found your channel, new subscriber.*
    *I like your non-overly-tacticool approach to things.*

      Do those come in black or camo or desert tan?

      @looseballs1966 8 років тому

      KainusGulch LOL they vary greatly depending on the owner lol mine would work great as snow camo, but show up like a neon light anywhere else lol

    • @clonetk1559
      @clonetk1559 8 років тому +3

      Can't agree enough. Did an Active Shooter class and the first thing I did after was buy three pairs of quality running shoes. I should have taken pictures of the bruises around the arches of my feet from sprinting around corners, using cover, and dodging fire. I always, always have shoes I could hoop in, on now.

      @eemerson7323 4 роки тому +3

      A belt doesn't get tight enough and if it slips it could send a deadly clot into the rest of the blood stream. Also never remove a tourniquet for the same reason wait and let the paramedics or Emergency Medics take care of it.

Thanks for the great content.

I've watched tons of EDC vids and I have to be honest I haven't taken much from the others but a freaking flashlight is genius. I normally always have 1-2 in my vehicle but on person is a great idea,because we cant always get to our vehicles. You just single handedly upgraded my EDC. Thank you sir.

  • @lancenewman3045
    @lancenewman3045 8 років тому +10

    I'm more of a mindset guy. Mostly what I try to take away from these edc videos are the general principles of what to have on your person, outside of the normal pocket lint which seems to boil down to:
    1 functional, durable clothes
    2 heavy duty belt that can carry the weight of a holster
    3 reliable handgun w extra magazine
    4 a good sturdy knife
    5 flashlight
    6 something to stop major bleeding (tourniquet)
    And ninja throwing stars, never leave home without them.

    I carry exactly every piece of gear you mentioned on this video with the addition of a lighter. It's the only other thing I'd recommend for an every day carry. It's unobtrusive, light and can serve in several day to day purposes and or possible emergencies. I just subscribed, you run an excellent channel.

    - Some sort of thick leather belt that was given to me by a friends brother
    - Ruger LCP on which I’ve polished the feed ramp, hammer cocking surface, and magazine feed lips, as well as added a hogue grip
    - I’m currently running an uncle mikes floppy, junk fabric IWB holster at 11:00 crossdraw, but I intend to replace that with a good holster soon.

      First, Yankee Marshall has NOTHING on Instructor Zero and he shows appendix carry a lot. If you aren't competently trainer, any kind of carry is dangerous. Next, being military or ex-military doesn't qualify you as an expert in firearms. There are desk jobs in the military. And finally, where are your credentials as an instructor to throw shade at Mr. Lovell? I won't resort to character degradation as you did but don't talk shit if you ain't shit.

  • @idoall165
    @idoall165 8 років тому +21

    I've considered making an edc video, but it could get ridiculous. To start with, I carry an XD Compact .40 usually under a jacket in a shoulder holster, my backup gun is an XD Subcompact.40 that rides in an ankle holster. Here's where it gets ridiculous... I always have my M92 AK pistol in a tennis racket bag next to me and my folded Uzi Pro riding shotgun. I also have a holster under the steering column that holds my XD Tactical .45, spare mags in the glove box, center column, and the racket bag for all of them. I'll carry a small fixed blade knife occasionally, and a flashlight at night, and sometimes even a Cobalt mini multi tool. My trunk has my plate carrier along with more spare mags, and an ammo can filled with all calibers I'd need. I don't do it out of fear of being attacked, more so out of fear that my home could be broken into while I'm gone. I've had guns stolen from home break-ins before and it's a helpless, violated feeling. My car has an alarm and I do have a home safe that some of my guns stay in, but in my opinion, it's a pretty flimsy safe. That's something I need to invest in soon, a good sturdy safe. John, I'm a very polite and friendly guy (unless you cross me) and I consider myself a member of the warrior poet society. I have a strong relationship with my God, Creator, and Savior and He guides and protects me daily. Thank you for all you do to educate, inform, a drop some spiritual knowledge to the ones who desperately need it. Keep the great content coming! This has quickly became one of my top favorite channels.

    • @WarriorPoetSociety

      @MrCrumb34 7 років тому +1

      All those guns and no less than lethal tools like OC spray or medical supplies. Some situations don't call for a gun and some lethal force situations could be prevented if stopped before they escalate to that point. If you carry a gun it's probably to save a life, not because you want to get a kill under your belt. With that said, a few key medical tools would be as likely to save a life as a gun, like a tourniquet.

    • @justacatwalkingonakeyboard4454
      @justacatwalkingonakeyboard4454 6 років тому

      Need to “invest” in a good safe. Yet you have 1000 of excessive guns that most likely won’t help you win a realistic fight?? Unless your high security sell some of that shit and buy a safe for 1000 that will last you a lifetime so that no one steals your guns and endangers the rest of us. The do payment plans and there’s no sales tax in quite a few states.
      You have every right to do what you want but it grinds my gears when dudes buy a shit load of powerful weapons and keep em in a stack on

      @89Eisblume89 8 років тому +2

      John Lovell For me it is even a little more important to us all the none leathal tools, and my self as as a tool. Im German so on one side we cant carry guns, but on the other side we have no need because no citizen can carry a gun. sure you can buy all guns, with some exceptions, and shoot them in a club on the range or use them for Hunting. Hunters for example can carry their gun from theire home to the hunting ground in a locked case. Only there they are allowed to load the gun. In the US everybody can carry guns, because of the constitution. So if i would life in America i would carry gun too. I find it very interisting to follow the gun community and the differences between our cultures and things we have in common. Sadly many Germans dont understand the reason of the gunlaws in the US, because they see only the bad things in the mainstream media, such as shootings and dump people which ignor the gunsafty and shoot them self, for example. So thank you for your great videos.

Have since watched everything and even made the Girls, wife and daughters, watch your situational awareness stuff. Keys in your hand and head on a swivel. It was nice for them to hear it from someone other than cop dad. Also have changed my drills cause yours make more sense. I find the whole warrior poet mentality something I can relate to as well. Lol also shared your segment about tactical accuracy with some of the guys I shoot with. Some times good enough is good enough. Thanks again for the information and all you do.

    • @WarriorPoetSociety
      @WarriorPoetSociety  8 років тому +26

      80% of all violent encounters happen during hours of limited visibility. For me, it is to search, navigate, blind, distract, identify, etc. Also, it can be used to prevent attacks, as criminals will associate it with law enforcement and assume you are situationally aware and carrying if they see you use it at night. Also, I hate little tactical surprises I use it for.

      John Lovell I noticed you also have a light on your 19 so if the point of a flashlight is to be used during a violent attack in a low light situation wouldn't your gun be out as well and it would be perfectly acceptable to do everything you listed except for maybe navigate with that weapons mounted light?

      I thought the same thing, Then went thru and still do, go thru some bad storms and random power outtages. Your phone may fail or you might need the phone to make calls. Heat of the moment, an independent light just might do the deed. YMMV.

    I think everyone likes Surefire quality but Surefire is always a bit behind the curve with regards to lumen output, features, etc. I won't buy a light these days that can't handle running off both primary cells and rechargeables. But Surefire sure doesn't offer too many of those. My EDC light is a HDS Systems. Not cheap but overbuilt for the apocalypse.

    EDC is great. Wearing 5.11 TDU pants gives you cargo pockets as well as the ability to have a good sturdy belt so you can carry lots of stuff. By most people's standards I carry way too much. To name a few, Flashlight, batteries, phone, gerber multitool, power bank, charging cable, USB thumb drives, hex bit driver with several screwdriver bits, UK Legal knife, Leatherman Micra mini multitool, knife sharpening stone, pen, small and thin custom pieced together first aid kit and a cheaper brand of CAT Tourniquet and of course my keys. I may have missed one or two things but you get the idea.

    I always get a good chuckle here. "...maybe that will blow my hair back" and the " feeling like I have a Batman Utility belt" also made me smile. I work with a "grappling hook" guy and I swear it must take him 30 minutes to dress. He's got shit strapped around both ankles, the stretchy under shirt holsters, Asp, Glock with three mags, backup revolver with backup speed loader, tourniquet, spare batteries for his Surefire light and iPhone, and so much other crap that just remembering he has all that must be a challenge. Love this channel!

      Thats actually incorrect, the pocket used to be for pocket watches vut after ww2 they actually began getting smaller and in vietnam or korean war i believe they were the size of a zippo lighter either to fit a zippo or the zippo was made to fit the pocket, though i digress, you will be hard pressed to find a pocket watch that would fit in the pocket now a days as its 1/3 the size they used to be and pocket watches havent really changed standard size in about 100 years

As a Corpsman the only other thing I might recommend carrying when you are working, expecting something to happen or as a just in case item like your tourniquet is a tampon. Yes, a tampon! I used to carry them in the field all the time. They make wonderful bandages. You can spread them over a cut or use them for puncture wounds. Just ask any woman you know...o.k. maybe don't ask. But they are made for blood.

    My two cents (if it’s even worth that much, haha): I was surprised to not see a watch in your EDC. Perhaps it was omitted by accident. I would love to find a Velcro piece to put a handcuff key between the layers of my Ares belt. Any ideas?
    Also, I love how practical you are. I think this rig is very accessible for people just beginning to do EDC, and also I picked up a few tips as a hobbyist. Thanks!
