    Every home seems to have one; the dreaded "Junk Drawer". What starts off as an innocent, all-purpose drawer of commonly used household items; usually transforms into a cluttered mess of "junk". I like to think of a Junk Drawer as your Home EDC (Every Day Carry). As part of my Home Prepping System project, I wanted to redesign my junk drawer using the modular approach that I use for my other prepping projects. Duplicate items are avoided as much as possible and each item must fit into one of the modules I have designated for this drawer: Office, Tools, Candles/Illumination, Fire, First Aid, Batteries and small Miscellaneous items.

    Your method of organization in more interesting than the actual contents. The attention to detail you give is always the best. Great topic.

      It is very cool that people enjoy that aspect of my channel and videos. Hearing your positive feedback helps me keep motivated. I can totally relate to what you are saying regarding finding individuals with real life insight on various prepping topics. They are definitely difficult to find. I am just glad that I can contribute back to the community in some way. Nice work finding the colored key tags!

    Very appropriate as we were looking at our junk drawer and it's a mess. Thanks for the ideas!

    The moral of this story is use dollar store plastic dividers to organize your junk drawer.

    Hey, just wondering if you could do an update on ur Urban Slim EDC kit (the business card holder one). Ive been building mine up for many years, i would like to see ur one :)

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  10 лет назад

      Yes. I plan on doing an update video this spring. I would like to see yours too! Stay tuned.

    Hey Urban Prepper, Might not make a whole lot of difference but Enloop Rechargeable batteries have a really long shelf life and can stay at 75% charge after 5 years, perfect if you never need to use them.

    • @pixelated.dreams
      @pixelated.dreams 10 лет назад +2

      They also have adapaters for C/D type batteries so you only ever need to store 2 types, AAA and AA.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  10 лет назад

      ***** I am going to be featuring the Enloop's in my upcoming Batteries Module as part of my Home Prepping System. I decided to go with normal batteries for this drawer since they are cheaper and more expendable.

    • @pixelated.dreams
      @pixelated.dreams 10 лет назад

      That makes sense now you said that, able to grab cheap ones that can be used and not worried about recharging

  • @Scorpion-fc9el
    @Scorpion-fc9el 10 лет назад +1

    Great video, in fact all your videos are worth watching - keep them coming. My own take on the drawer is to use empty plastic business card cases. They are great for storing small item. I use a dymo labeller to label them. They can be used in other areas such as the garage, shed and home crafting,

  • @robertreynolds2726
    @robertreynolds2726 10 лет назад +1

    Great video, I try to stay organized which helps when you really need to get the items. Maybe I'm ocd as well, but I like my life organized. Nice job.

  • @marycahill546
    @marycahill546 8 лет назад +1

    Yes a home flashlight must be very accessible. I keep one sitting on top of each of my fire extinguishers.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  8 лет назад +1

      That's a really good idea for a storage location, Mary!

    Very tidy junk drawer :)

  • @05generic
    @05generic 10 лет назад +1

    In light of the fact that not a single item of "junk" can be found in that drawer, perhaps a more appropriate name is in order.
    Cliff, why so many office items in the kitchen? Do you have an office nearby?

    • @05generic
      @05generic 10 лет назад +1

      OH!! I know what it should be called. It's the TACTICAL drawer!

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  10 лет назад +1

      I do have an office nearby, but I found that items are prone to go missing if they are taken off my office desk. That's why I wanted to include a decent amount of office supplies in the junk drawer. You're right. Perhaps a new name is in order... :)

    Wow, very nice organization. I have all sorts of "Carry" kits, but my home supplies (while there) aren't nearly as nicely organized.

  • @baranduyn
    @baranduyn 10 лет назад

    I've always thought the 'legal' definition of a junk drawer is that you risk being stabbed by something when you rummage in the drawer. :D And no fireworks. But mine look a bit like yours save I use 'found' containers. Drives my husband nuts.

  • @blatherama
    @blatherama 10 лет назад

    We call it a "variety drawer" because not every thing in it is junk. We also have a "variety room" that includes my office and some things that aren't junk.

  • @redline6871
    @redline6871 10 лет назад

    Its called a junk drawer for a reason this is just a drawer organized. Still nice thought nothing wrong with being organized.

    I always keep an X-acto knife in my junk drawer.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  10 лет назад

      I think that is a good idea. I didn't include a knife or razor since Baby Prepper likes to find my cool "toys". Maybe when he is a little older I will include one.

    • @blacksteelprepper4246
      @blacksteelprepper4246 10 лет назад

      I was really impressed with your video, you couldn't even say my drawer was a "junk drawer" So this video just motivated me to clean and fix my junk drawer

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  10 лет назад

      Blacksteel prepper I'm happy this video helped motivate you to clean your junk drawer. That is awesome. Regarding bags, I enjoy the Sea To Summit bags. Aloksak and even large ZIP locks might be a good fit too.

    • @blacksteelprepper4246
      @blacksteelprepper4246 10 лет назад

      TheUrbanPrepper I have a big zip lock bag for now but I'll go pick up one of the bags you suggested for a more permanent food storage,thanks
