      In my opinion, you should try to scout carry your knife. Probably the best way to go for now Only requires one hand to access. It can go behind the back or in the front but instead of up and down, sideways. For you, right handed draw, obviously.

    As far as racking the slide, practice with the gun unloaded but you can rack it via the rear sights off your belt, a stable table, boulder, even the heel of ur boot

    Cpl Kelly sent me here, and like everyone else would like to wish you a speedy recovery. As far as racking the slide on that Sig, there's a drill you can practice with the pistol unloaded, and it's fairly simple. Just crouch into the kneeling and with your finger off the trigger (very important!!!) place the slide inside the bend of your knee while making sure the barrel is clear of your body and push the gun to rack the slide. You can also reload the pistol one handed this way, holding it inside your knee to introduce a new mag and then rack. Also, don't be afraid to shop around for a firearm that's easier to pull the slide back on (Glocks IMO are great for this). I recommend practicing this for the first time with either a knowledgeable buddy or a trusted range instructor, just to make sure you have redundancy in safety, which is always good with firearms. Just wanted to share this little bit of knowledge, and hope it ticks and item off your list so you can focus on recovering. Best wishes.

Great gear to take with you EDC, can always modify when needed. Thanks for the trouble filming, knowing it wasn't easy shows the determination. See ya soon.

    Just subscribed to your channel yesterday, and I like your idea about having a notebook and something to write with. I do the same thing at work myself, and have decided th a t whenever I am out bushcrafting, hiking, or camping, I'm going to make sure I have one of mine with me then as well, because like yourself, I often get some of my best ideas for stuff during the day while I'm working either y her on my steady 9-5, or around the house on the weekends and during vacation time. I have several that are filled since I started seriously doing more things like this back in 2008. I also keep a journal of my activities related to survival, bushcrafting, and preparedness. Both are a great way to document your work and your ideas from the time that you start, and I've found that they not only help you to remember important things, but they also help you to remain focused on your activities, as well as show you just how far you've come in your life's journey.

    James, hope you heal quickly. Take this opportunity to practice skills with one hand/arm. Train with your fire arm and learn to use your holster to rack it with one hand. This is an opportunity for you to up your skills. Just a thought.

    Man, 1 thing I always carry in my truck is a half gallon vacuum insulated water jug. I am a water drinker and it's always full of ice water. Even the cheaper wally world brand will hold ice for days. It's a must have year round here in SE Florida.

      With a semi auto pistol if he gets a stovepipe round or has to rack the slide for any reason that would be very difficult with his injured hand. Revolvers tend to have less malfunctions. It's a trade off though, much less ammunition and longer reload times

    I've got that hat and it works like a champ. I also have two versions of the 'Shapeflexer" hats. with the latest one to be shipped in July. If you can afford it, the Six Moon Designs Gatewood cape is both poncho and tarp. Has guyout points on the corners, and the hood can be cinched tight. I love mine. Good items to have outside. Hope the hand heals right up, and you get full function back. Take my fellow Texan.

    Excellent video and very well thought out EDC for your area. I wanted to comment about a super neat daybag that I was given at our local hospital after my Fiancée gave birth early in June. It's made by Enfamil and designed to hold baby stuff, milk/formula/diapers ect but I commandeered it for use as my new daybag/EDC bag and it works awesome! It's compact, lightweight and insulated/waterproof and very un-tactical looking for those who don't want to draw attention. It only has 3 compartments but for use as just a daybag it works extremely well, and they are free in some places or

    Cool idea you may want to use, on your p-38 can opener, take a 6 inch piece of black electrical tape and wrap around it. Keeps the blade closed (no cuts or holes in your clothes) and you have electrical tape on hand. Keep the duct tape on the lighters…

    Like I told before wishing you full and speedy recovery. About the EDC kit. I think it's heavy on tools. I count 3 blades and 2 saws including the multitool that has a blade and saw. I think one flashlight is enough also. Of course carry water but also some food even if it's just some energy bars. Maybe a boo boo kit?

    You can rack the slide with your clothing, bro. Just pass a "hooky" point of the slide thru an "edge" of your clothing, like a pocket "brim" or something, just like how a Emerson Wave knife works. Try it.
