Love the "HELP note" idea! Thank you! If you put 2-3 contacts on the back, it would also be useful if your phone died and you have to remember a number when borrowing a phone. I used to memorize numbers but not anymore LOL! Like you, I have been influenced by Jon Gadget and carry a mini Altoids trouble kit with cash in it. I've got one $100 bill along with several other items: needle and thread, small microfiber towel, about a foot of duct tape rolled up, a whistle, a Leatherman Signal knife sharpener, a glow stick, a waterproof match, a trick relighting candle, about 6 feet of dyneema cordage, a regular match, some match striking paper, a tick remover, a Q-tip cut in half, a paperclip and a safety pin.
very original, actual edc that people carry, lots of personal item. not some unusable shiny pliers/multitools/knife that some people dont use often cuz they only following the hype i hope your channel grows a lot man
He's got a very cool kit indeed, but don't knock the knife & multi-tools... Those 2 things & my flashlight are hands down the absolute most used items in my EDC. From opening mail & Amazon packages to tightening loose things or cutting away loose strings to crimping something or even cleaning & filing my nails lol. I literally use them everyday. Without my daily carry knife & my Leatherman, I think I'd feel naked & completely helpless lol.
On me, I carry a pocket flashlight, pocket knife, multitool, battery bank with attached chords, slim wallet, phone, keychain w/ keys, a mini-edc pouch that holds my (eye drops, lotion, & lip balm), mints, earbuds and sunglasses. I carry a deck of cards too. My kids and I play card games anytime we're waiting like at a restaurant. I also carry a personal umbrella. In my sling bag, I carry a retractable pen, Sharpie, nail groom kit, a bandana, kleenex tissue, hand wipes (you carry hand sanitizer), little first aid/boo boo kit with safety pins, mylar blanket, screwdriver pen with bits, note pad, lighter, snack bar, water bottle (attached to my hero clip), hand warmers (winter time), cutlery with sauce packets in the container, pill container with pain relievers & allergy pills, wall plug & charger (with different ports), coin purse, floss picks, small gorilla tape, binder clip, paper clip, and rubber band.
Just got an Alpaka! Loving it so far. Previously I've been all Peak Design, but their stuff is kind of camera-focused and most of their packs have a semi-hard shell design (to keep your camera safe). But that means that all of their packs always take up a fixed amount of space, even when completely empty (unless you really squish them down).The Alpaka is more compact in general, and more "squishy" even when full, so it doesn't take up as much room in my bigger travel bag.
That’s very true! I love the way this expands when needed. A great all round bag. It’s called a tech case which made me nervous initially but actually it’s very versatile. Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you enjoy my upcoming content!
might I reccomend a method to make this a little easier to follow along with - this video may have benefitted from a top down angle with the bad at the top, and the elements you're pulling out nearly organized around the edges. This method would give a better idea of all that you are able to fit into the bag! Cool kit though for sure
Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate your feedback and will definitely consider using a top-down angle in my future videos to give a better idea of what's in the bag.
I'm still in the stone age and prefer a rucksack if I'm needing something more than my breeks and coat pockets. Apart from the extra space (which is not to be sniffed at), nobody bothers about a small rucksack as they're very common. I do have certain stuff that lives in wee pouches within it and at a push could cover me if I end up in hospital for a night with the inclusion of a small tube of toothpaste and folding brush. We will all tweak things to suit eh ?
I preprint (with a label maker) my home address, phone number of wife, & stick it to the back of my phone. One can also print a literal dog tag (laser engraved) and carry. It’s kind of like a homemade “RoadID”
Great kit setup. It's def strange to me as an American, to not see a good daily carry knife or multi tool in an EDC. They're the backbone of my EDC & literally the most used items next to my flashlight. I don't think I could get thru my day without them, I literally use them that much. But not everybody, I guess, has a daily need for those things.

Yes I have a separate paper with phone numbers! Glad I have a fellow gadget addict!

Yes great case!

Check out my latest video coming out in a few hours time, I have a top down camera and you get a mention!

Don’t worry I have a rucksack video coming soon

That's a clever idea to ensure your important contact information is always easily accessible!
Like an extra large Maverick from Dee Christopher and the1914
Yes I suppose it is! I also recommend the Alpaka Hub pouch as a cheaper non magic alternative!
@@iansedcI have done a EDC project on my channel and found using Temu to get cheap pouches to try out a good way.
Good advice! I’ll check it out.

For day to day social life I don’t need one but I will be sharing my bigger kit for my backpack which does contain a proper multitool!
Man, that is a lot of stuff.
Too right haha
I have a similar note in case I get taken, but I put Bryan Mills phone number on it 😜
😆
