ACETAMINOPHEN!!! It is I, the worst gear reviewer ever, finally back with another video about... gear.
Shouldn't sell yourself too short buddy. One day you may start believing it...
I find you're coming across quite likeable and i apprecciate the infos you share.
From Germany with peace!
aleve is naproxen, an anti-inflammatory like advil (ibuprofen). acetaminophen is a pain killer (Tylenol).
@@HollywoodTacticool
I agree with you about Naproxen sodium being an anti-inflammatory pain relief albeit, In my personal experience they cause indigestion, stomach, heartburn, acidic esophagus problems. When Acetaminophen is also good for pain yet had excellent Fever reducing properties.
I love your kit.......my suggestion is to fold some money flat and put in the bottom, needle and cotton, or fishing line and hook and a small freezer bag to hold water.....I have a couple of small kits because I love them.....you should see my partners face every time I find another thing to add. He is fascinated that I am interested in these tins however when you think about it every woman has the ultimate survival kit on her everyday........her handbag!
This is an edc kit, not a survival kit.
One thing that really impresses me about Urban Prepper is the way he creates a PDF with links in it for just about all his stuff
I enjoyed your video,thank you.Two suggestions,fat rubberband around the outside,keeps lid closed,stops tin from sliding around your pocket.Second,a bullion cube.Nothing better than warm chicken broth on a cold day.
I really like the "no mess" nail clippers. Being the pig that I am, I could go out to a flash restaurant and while everyone is eating, I could sit there and cut my finger nails and when I was done I could just reach over and empty the contents in someone's drink. I am such a likeable bloke, but I can't understand why I don't have any friends.
If no one else has suggested this already, one of those food storage vacuum sealers would be ideal for the medicine tablets. They are completely water tight so the tablets would be protected from Florida humidity and are see thru. I use mine for that to save space in my toiletry kit.
There are 2 options for Fisher space pens that will fit in your tin...1. just the refill itself 2. Fisher Stowaway Space Pen
Great video actually! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Alot of good ideals I do add some glow tape on the inside of the lid
I'm really impressed with the tiny products you crammed into here. Definitely will be researching them, thank you!
Thank you ,thank you for sharing!
Great video! You did an impressive job on this little kit, very handy. I love the comments on the screen, LOL! Keep up the good work.
Since the tools shows this is not woodland centered two other things and one suggestion.
Top with a folded bill. A US dollar bill is the same size as hundred but choose your denomination.
Rubber bands but not inside. Wrap on outside so the until otherwise needed serve to keep lid more securely closed. The belt pouch serves to do this but if you get fumbled fingered opening it don't want to drop all that stuff and have to search for it, maybe in the dark. The rubber bands also will reduce the possibility of it sliding out of a pocket if the tin is kept there.
Suggestion;
Tums are nice but I value an antidiarrheal more.
I would rather walk around with an upset stomach than a load in my shorts.
Great video! Nice job
You carry a lightning adapter in case a friend needs a charge. You sir, are a class act.
I try.
Cute. I really enjoy looking at these little kits and I also have a bunch of tiny tools. That being said, I can't help feeling that in a genuine urban survival situation, the best thing you could fit into an Altoids tin is probably a selection of tightly rolled dollar bills. And a few quarters.
Sounds like you may be new to this.
EDC stands for "every day carry". Everday carry of Bills should be in a wallet or money clip and coins in your pocket...your every day carry backup cash should be hidden in belt, hat, sock, etc.
A survival kit is completely different animal...and urban vs rual survival kits are unique to each situation. A survival kit you carry daily doesn't really need Bill's or coins since you should carry plenty of those items elsewhere everyday
@@joedirt6073 I guess you didn't like my little joke. Ah well.
@@Tom_Bee_
Hard to tell context in the written word.
Thanks for the great ideas. You guys are so creative with those things.
Excellent video. I’m gonna try something like that. Wish me luck.
One of the best I've seen. Excellent use of space.
A couple of $100 bills, and 2-3 $20s might be a little social lubricant. A box knife razor, couple of bobby pins (handcuff shims). None of those take hardly any space. I like someone's idea of a little tape, and on outside some thick rubber bands.
I have really started getting into these kits! This was helpful and live the mini stuff.
One of the best and simple tin can kits I've seen it really like that mini ratchet really cool
Very clean and awesome set up thank you for sharing 😃👍
Urban prepper is awesome his Altoids EDC kits are amazing
Lovely and handy edc kit there Sir.
One addition could be a char cloth to start fires.
Loved your video.
- ❤️ from India
I like the name. I misread it initially and thought it was Floridiot, which would also be a cool screen name. Thanks for the food for thought.
Great little kit. Love the magnet idea👍
Great kit, thoughtfully packed. True utility manufacture a very small telescopic pen that would allow you yet more space in there.
More years ago than I care to remember, we kids in primary school were challenged to strip out the internal parts of an old fountain pen, and see how many small items one could store in there. The winner would be the one who could get the most objects in there...I cannot remember who won, but the idea always stayed with me.... C'mon UA-camrs!! There's a challenge!! A survival kit packed into a fountain pen....😁🙏
Sadly I imagine a majority are wondering what on earth is a fountain pen.
I always like small tools that fit in small spaces
That's a nice kit man well done.
Nice shout-out to Urban Prepper, I get a lot of good ideas from him as well.
Nice tin! By the way. Acetaminophen = Tylenol. Ibuprofen = advil. Naproxen = Aleve ;)
Really nice video. Thank you very much for sharing. Pls do more of them. 😍
Here in Ohio at a lot of lottery retail places they have mini pens and mini pencils that would be great I think for a altoids can. I may have snatched some up before 😉 definitely a very well thought out altoids tin kit for sure!id say probably one of thee best I’ve seen. I personally would put some char cloth in place of the microfiber but I’m definitely impressed! Idk if ya know about wazoo gear but I got one of their cache caps and their belts and absolutely love em!so handy and I have their essentials kit in my belt plus random redundant stuff in my hat. I highly recommend em.
For your own ease in Id'ing, (and the cops), recommend we all keep over the counter pharms. in factory sealed blister pack. I was stopped in Nevada, trooper asked me what was in my small pack, saw the aspirin in a bag, and insisted in checking for meth, or something. When it came back neg from his little test kit, I asked to be compensated for my pill. He refused, I requested a supervisor, who came. After seeing my federal ID, the sgt. gave me a quarter. (Oh buhaha). It was just the point of the matter. I was being a dick, but so was he.
Very well put together my good man!! Kudos :)
Really nice , people that don’t understand edc will be the ones begging for help in a crisis , no matter how minor 🇺🇸🤙🏻🅰️
2 points I noticed... 1, you have a data storage device next to 2 magnets and 2, possible additions for your limited space might be emergency money, a razor blade, or a few yards of fishing line and a hook.
Good little kit sir
Thanks for sharing your kit! It is because of this video that I decided to fit a Leatherman Micra in mine. Amazing how tiny it is in a regular-sized Altoids tin, but it packs a ton of uses. I will try cramming my Fisher Bullet pen in there next. Gonna be a tight fit since I also have a mini Sharpie pen inside already.
Leatherman Micra looks nice
One of the best Altoids tin EDC kit videos I’ve seen! Better than mine. I’ll be taking some tips from you! New subscriber!👍
Nice kit for sure
Hey man, your EDC kit is awesome ! For a high quality but much flatter nail clipper, you should consider the Victorinox Nail Clipper (model 8.2055.C). It's awesome (and made in Switzerland) !
Great stuff maybe Safety pins, nice tiny ferro Rod, antiseptic wipe, and either some tinder or silver mini bar depending on a more urban or suburban/rural area. Thanks!
Great work. One suggestion for you. On the inside of the tin lid you can put strips of tape like I do for fixing or labels. Different types of tape might include painter tape for waterproof labels, duck tape, electrical tape, shrink wrap. You can also a razor for flat scraping.
Nice kit - though I wouldn't bother with pens, just take the refill, it's large enough to write short notes with it (won't attempt to write an essay or a novel anyhow).
I don't use nail-clippers, they always leave sharp edges, which I don't like - I carry a small sapphire nail file, cut off the handle, which makes it just a light-weight, flat piece. It can act as a knife sharpener too, when kept wet and handled gently.
That should give you enough room to fit one or two quick-tinders and a small piece of duct-tape.
This is a great kit and great utilization of kit space! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
This is more of an urban/office convenience kit. Props for using magnetic tape to hold your metal things in place; I've never seen that in use in a kit before.
Just got recommended your second channel. Nice title.
Awesome video ✌️
Thanks for sharing
I appreciate your disclosing that you don't know the pronunciation of a word and leaving it at that. I've see so many of these Altoid EDC kit videos where they try to pronounce the silent "s" in "Fresnel", and it drives me crazy! 🤣 I know French is a pain to pronounce, but for survival enthusiasts, you'd think they might have that one down. 🤔
Love the commentary 😂
I recently noticed that there are tins similar to an altoid tin available on scamazon with different dimensions. So instead of sizing down a tool that almost fits an altoid, one can buy a slightly larger tin and get more stuff in it. But you do have some cool kit in there.
Some of those items could go on your keyring. Frees up space and access is faster.
Dang! Wish 2 Tums would help me. If I don’t have at least 6 or 7, I don’t even bother. Also, if you ran the magnetic tape that holds your clippers in place all the way across, it might help with moisture ingress.Good vid well enjoyed. Thanks!!!
Maybe some type of paper with information useful to you could fit on the inside of the lid? A disinfectant wipe? Neatly folded piece of duct tape? Toss in a *small rubber band* or two. Mini tweezers? Tiny sewing needle + thread?
The Leatherman Mirca has tweezers on them. Not the greatest, but I've used them in a pinch.
Yeah: most people have no idea how astonishingly revolutionary the invention of the needle was . My survival kit could never be without several (-- they can also be adapted into various tools, weapons,etc), plus waxed thread.
subbed! nice lil kit you've put together. money has prevented me from going that small. stupid disability/fixed income supporting a family of three. got a decent maxpedition micro pouch I carry though. I will prob pick up the O'reillys power torque thanks for the heads up on it. I like the bike wrench kit and wanted it for my kit already. have some other nice tiny wrenches from estate sales. might have to grab that pry bar too looks like ones from countycomm
Fire starter can fill the gaps.
Simple cotton and Vaseline
Awesome video. I would suggest (if you don't mind), a pencil, maybe instead of the pen, and if you can a pencil sharpener. The obvious reason for the sharpener needs no explanation, but the less obvious use is, any small twig can be run through it and made into shavings, perfect for fire starting. Again, awesome video. Thanks.
great kit! 1 concern 1 suggestion.
Will magnet wipe out mini sub data?
I think you may have room on top in front of your bit set for a folding derma razor and I'd like to see both fishing line and/or waxed corsage wrapped around the socket wrench.
Nice kit. It would help if you added a list of the contents in the description.
Keep making them you have a new regular
I see all these survival kits fitting into Altofts tins? What about tobacco tins?, slightly larger but at the same time easy carry?
Great little set up. Does the leatherman bits fit in the leatherman or in the ratchet or both? Also the only thing I could think of is maybe a aquatab for water purification. Really great kit though.
Thanks, and the bits *kind of* fit in the ratchet, but not very well. I feel like they wobble a little too much. I usually only use them in my Leatherman Wave which I carry on my belt in a custom leather holster that holds both the Wave, and my ThruNite TN12 flashlight.
Hi how to buy this edc kit
Or a collapsible arrow kit in there with bungee
It's one of the best edc kit I've ever seen!
Awesome job... Do you sell those kits?
Dig it!
Good urban tin I would put paper money in there
Add needle and thread. Some money like 2 10 dollar bills.
May I recommend the Olight i1r 2 as your backup flashlight
I considered that one, but I didn't like that its battery was built-in and not replaceable. The X4S was one of the only flashlights I could find in this size range that had a battery that wasn't built-in. If not for the X4S, I would've probably gone with the Olight.
👍
Another EDC kit without a mini Bic lighter. I really dont understand how or why that is possible.
Cliff the urban Prepper is top But your vid get very close. Greetings from 🇩🇪
would the bits from the Leatherman not fit the ratchet? might make room for a couple more things if you can drop those two bits
They kind of do, but not very well. They rattle and wobble enough that I don't feel comfortable using them in the ratchet, hence my reason for keeping the two regular bits handy.
@@floridianidiot399 makes sense...
Won’t the magnetic tape mess up your Sandisc thumb drive?
It hasn't yet, and I doubt it will. According to the research I've done, it would take a much larger and significantly more powerful magnet to damage anything electronic.
👍
couple of rubber bands you never no when you Will need one
Why is super glue and beef jerky not in there
The Micro is great, but I find for my use, the Squirt PS4 is better. I want to buy more mini multi tools lol.
The accent sounds like you're a "Snowbird". Are you Canadian? My guess anyhow. Nice video, BTW Aleve is naproxen sodium, whereas Acetaminophen is the name of the compound better known as Tylenol!!!! I'm going to pay O'Reilly's Auto Parts a visit for the mini-socket wrench!!!!!
how expensive would this full set be?
The combined cost of everything in the tin is about $120 and possibly more. Ouch.
@@floridianidiot399 oh damn, well i still might get it, besides the pills dont need those
the minilighter will scretch the glas of the lamp
This Voice Sounds...Somehow...Familiar...
I wonder If you are a Mister that goes by the Name of... Mangustification???
...Jk
Very interesting Channel my Friend, I will be Sure to check your vids on this Channel too. Keep safe and very cool kit you got there👍😉
PS: 18:16 was just hilarious!
My Neighbours disturb The exact same way!😂
AN IMPOSTER!!! Wait, what?
@@MangustificationGaming 😂
Nice, but every one of these I've seen have a cute little pen or a pencil (sometimes both!) But no paper???
Get rid of the nail clippers all together, the scissors on the Micra are so much better and they aren’t a one trick pony.
Do you have a link to the ratchet?
The O'reillys site is the only place where I can find the exact one that I show in the video. www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/power-torque-tools/power-torque-9-piece-1-4-inch-drive-two-way-key-bit-keychain-set/ptt0/gm4315?q=Power+torque+ratchet&pos=17
Otherwise, the Topeak mini 1/4" ratchet is exactly the same, again just with different branding. That one should be readily available through Amazon and other online stores. :)
you have those bits doubled
Hmmmm..... I might use half of those items in a camping situation. The rest of the items wouldn't be very useful to me. What are the mini tools for? Not intending to be insulting, just curious.
Maybe I'm just not understanding the EDC thing. You carry this in your pocket every day?
For what reason? For "survival", I'm thinking there may be other items that would be better suited. Maybe if there were some examples of what the tool uses were for, it would be better for the intended audience.
But thanks for presenting your setup. Kudos for getting all that into an Altoids tin. I have never been able to get all my "items" into an Altoids tin. How does one get a kitchen sink in there?
Alright, take care, stay safe!
Really just for anything and everything than can happen in everyday urban life more than "survival". Just recently, the mini ratchet came in handy when I had to tighten the seat adjustment lever in our van. The Phillips screw that holds it on was very loose, and the mini ratchet was perfect for reaching into the tight space. The mini pry bar is a more recent addition and I haven't used it yet, but the idea behind it in this kit is that it's for those times when people think they want to use a knife blade to pry something. Yikes.
@@floridianidiot399 Ah, ok, got it! I can see that I'm going to need a few more Altoid tins. ; )
Good job it is not 666

You should seal up your tin with electrical tape to seal it up.
So……NOT a survival kit for the wilderness.
I’d still want to have some kind of fire starter, sewing tools, and water collection pouch in mine. I’m surprised for an urban kit you didn’t add any duct tape or strong cordage.
Dental floss
people have to stop packing regular J&J band-aids, shit falls off with a little sweat
Acetaminophen = paracetamol, its the most common OTC painkiller in the world, how is it illegal??
You sound like Tom Green.... You are definitely not FROM Florida.
Do u live in afghanistan? 😂
