You are the first person I have seen who showcased the practicality of a magnet in your EDC I love it! Short story, one day at work a coworker of mine dropped her car keys in the parking lot and they fell down into a storm drain, I was able to use my belt, niteize S carabineer, and keychain magnet and lower the magnet into the drain and rescued her keys!
Ive been tweaking my own pocked EDC pouch for about a year now, but its always nice to see what other people are doing. One thing you might add is emergency cash. I stash a couple folded up $20 bills in my pouch.
I have a small compass in my pouch so that rules out having a strong magnet in the same pouch. I have a loud whistle in there, a small firesteel, extra flat pen knife, small foldable magnifying glas, chopstick with some cotton in the cap and a small flashlight. I already EDC a small multitool, simple SAK, tick remover, hairpin, and some cash in my EDC pouch.
I've had superglue get punctured and leak too many times, I would put that in a tint pill sized ziplock or something so in the event it does leak, you don't ruin your pouch or other gear.
Really good idea using a bright colour in case you drop it. I can think of a few things to add: Credit card size Fresnel lens Vaseline infused Cotton ball Tablet size compressed hand towel. Micro SD card in a tiny USB adaptor, with a Linux boot distro and medical & personal records in encrypted text file. Flat USB PCB light (works with your phone charger adaptor)
I have this pouch and it’s amazing. The only thing I think of is adding a exotac tinder zip for the zipper for a pull and extra fire tinder plus you can get them in orange
This is very similar to the kit I have in my bag, I replaced the sim ejection kit and tooth pics with 1 titanium toothpick and a large sowing needle. I have 6foot of micro paracord and the matches I have waterproof ones and their striker mounted on the rest of the gidtcard and cut down to give it some solidity.
If you ever end up with metal splinters in your fingers - use the magnet. But use it inside a tiny flimsy little plastic ziplock bag so that the piece of metal doesn't stick to the magnet. Keep that magnet away from electronics...
I have the same pouch, different color, and I’m amazed all you could fit inside. You could always wrap the duck tape around the Bic, you may need to narrow the tape, but you would be killing two birds with one stone. I might also add some paper currency, $20 or such. It doesn’t add any weight or room, and you would have some money on you in case your card wallet gets lost or stolen. You could get a taxi, Uber, etc…. Home. Enjoyed the video. 👍
In some states/areas you can get in trouble for having meds not in their original packaging just loose like that. I usually cut out little bits of the packet for that reason, but it does take a little more space that way. Depends on if you think your likely to get hassled or your local laws.
I carry a few drugs in my own EDC pouch, but I bought them in the little individual use packets. Easy to pack, but still have all the usual package information.
I boycott Benchmade because of their anti 2nd amendment stance. On my mini Bic I have a small zip tie to prevent the gas from escaping if the button is depressed.
List/links to all of the gear is now in description!

Telescopic magnets for retrieval purposes are very useful.
was she impressed or concerned?

I thought that too
Superglue - the only things that stuff sticks are your fingers...
Hey, great video! I'm thinking of getting magnets next!

I would never make a decision based on a coin flip, but I love what you put in the pouch
If you have a kid that makes every minor decision with “eeny meeny miny moe” you might change your mind.
@@rustybarrel516 i can understand how that could come in handy; however, I’d still make the decision for my child based off of my superior intellect
@@MLGB0Yz 😂👍
Useful for a laundromat or public telephone.
Nice, I Like Three Sets Of Urban Survival EDC.
Great choices. To reduce size i only take one of the magnet
Love the levergear. If you email them they’ll send adapters for no charge. Recommend a fresnel lens for reading fine print and backup fire starting
I like the magnet idea

Except Uber. They don’t accept cash. Only card linked to app.
Maybe some stamps, or address labels, or small pen (insert).
Very useful and compact. Subbed.
I think every American should carry a Leatherman multi-tool because it high quality multi-tool ever made
Hell yeah!
Swiss Army Knife, for my money. I've carried mine since 1987...
Nice kit. A small upgrade you could do is add a cc size Fresnal lense. 👍
A pouch similar to this but waterproof would be good.
Did you have a what’s in my backpack video? I really enjoyed your content.
Not yet!

Damn, those are some shit laws!

Nice kit
Thank you!
Wish you had some links to the gear!
Description has been updated!
Wallet Ninja!
Wrap some Duck tape around the lighter ;)
…and a zip tie around the button to avoid accidental release of gas inside of the pouch.
Where I can get this benchmade patch?
I got it for free with a Benchmade purchase on GP Knives
Do you carry a pen? I have the pen that you put in a Swiss Army knife (plus scale) in my wallet. Chums wallet.
Yes I always carry a pen

They are far from anti gun. Should probably do your homework about that whole situation before believing all the crap on social media.
