I have USCCA. I am looking for a insurance that will cover me on the job and off the job
I’m on tight budget. Wondering if the $19 month is good enough
“Never leave home without a knife. There might be cake!” should be a T-shirt brother.
Knives, flashlight, lighter and pistol. I never go anywhere without those things at least. I like to keep a small sewing kit in my wallet as well. Comes in pretty handy.
Hello Coch ! I'm a US Navy black shoe veteran ( Operations Specialist 2nd Class ) . I believe that it's a good idea to always carry a cigarette lighter even if you don't smoke . BIC lighters are cheap and lightweight . I carry a Zippo in my pocket and have several BICs stashed around everywhere . I've lit my Zippo and used it as a small torch for lighting and to burn the end of cut Paracord closed . I keep a six foot length of Paracord around too as it is cheap , lightweight , and have a myriad of uses . A red or blue cotton bandana is nice to have folded in a pocket as a multitask piece of gear . A cheap lighter , a bandanna, and cheap Chinese Paracord knockoff can be bought for a few bucks at the dollar store .
@Victor +1 on having a lighter. Check out the “peanut” lighters from County Comm. the benefits of a Zippo but smaller(mine rides on my key chain) and o-ring sealed so the fuel doesn’t evaporate.
Great tip on the Bic lighter! Besides the obvious uses, since they are cheap you can trade them or just give them away as a form of social currency
Check out the kevlar/aramid type cordage. Much tougher, smaller and lighter. Not to mention fire resistant. A bit harder to seal the ends, can't do it with a lighter. I just tie a knot, but a dab of thin superglue is the best.
+1 on carrying a lighter. I wrap my BICs with a bunch of electrical tape and break off a little piece of a tooth pic to tape under the button to keep it "Locked" so It is always full and ready to go when I need it.
I’m a minimalist. I carry a half pint of moderately priced bourbon and a hefty cucumber in case I’m invited to an orgy. I refuse to be outgunned.
Yes CCW SAFE rocks!!!!!! I left uscca 3 years ago for them. I started doing research and found out with uscca if you are found guilty they require you to pay them back all the money they spent on your defense costs. Then they will not pay for your appeal and if you appeal and win a 2nd trial they don't pay for that either. CCW SAFE pays all of that and never requires you to pay them back no matter what the outcome is.
how much more was your plan with CCW over USCCA?
Thanks for the info.
Very good to know, thanks.
I like this guy. Straightforward, not pretentious.
Tape. For occlusive dressings, splinting, binding items together, repair. Duct tape, electrical tape, strong medical tape (i.e. silk). You can even use it to pull a laceration together like a poor man's Steri-Strip.
Most humble, no bs channel to learn from. Thanks Coch.
When I took a first aid course 40 years ago we were taught to write the time and the T on the forehead with blood. Not saying not to carry a pen, but a workable alternative.
Good to know.
I ran an elevated threat EDC drill the day the Chinese spy balloon was over America. I had to run errands. So I envisioned a scenario where the spy balloon was actually an EMP device. I brought level 3A concealment armor, a 10.5" AR pistol, 4 mag bandoleer and 2 spare mags more than I would normally carry for my handgun, as well as my get home bag and all my normal edc equipment.
Whenever you get an opportunity at any kind of real world crisis make sure you use it as good drilling practice.
Good idea. "Don't let a crisis go to waste."
Oh rah Coach, I would like to add to your list.
1) 550 cord (lanyard, key chain, bracelet etc)
2) laced shoes
3) cash ($100 or $200 in $20’s)
4) quick clot in a bag or pack to go with the gauze.
Other than those things I carry your list is tip top.
Great advice about being insured. One of the best moves i made over the years training etc. Also the nugget about knowing what ammo the local LEOs are using is brilliant. Hadnt considered that angle of the pie. Thanks Coch! 🇺🇸✝️🙏🧡
Indeed, never thought that ammo issue through. Genius!
Federal HST baby
I have uploaded many edc pocket dump videos, if anyone cares to see what this old grunt and former PI packs.
Good vid again Coch!
Part of my EDC that I don’t really see anyone else carrying is the Leatherman Raptor. Foldable trauma shears with a seatbelt cutter. Super handy to have with you.
The o-light hate thing is always funny to me. I have a few that work no matter what: dropped, stomped, etc. Fairly priced and they work. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm happy with my o-lights as well. So why do some folks hate them? (Serious question. I'm fairly new to the EDC game.)
@@moleb6341 there have been instances of the internal batteries melting down and exploding.
I enjoy all of your videos Coch. But this one may be one of the most real and applicable. thank you my man
Hey coch just wanted to say that the videos with you and Dorr are really good
Excellent advice on ammunition selection. As a former Marine and then LEO (majority of that in SWAT, LE Special Operations, and instructing) I’ve always told people to carry what their local PD carries (assuming it’s good ammunition). Makes it far easier to defend in court.
thx for the info
How does one go about finding out what local pd carries?
@@jamesshives5679 Drive really fast everywhere until one comes up to your window, then ask the question.
Hello Coch, I'm a US NAVY Airedale Veteran that has been had a CCW since the early 90s about 10 years before I joined the Navy since I enlisted after Sept 11, 2001. I was raised by a WWII, Korea, and Early Vietnam Combat Infantry Officer grandfather that believed in a 45acp ends 99.9% of issues and if does not put a couple of more rounds into the Target and Re-Assess the situation. That being said I returned to the wonderful state of Florida after 6 years due to a spinal cord injury that ended my Naval Career too soon. I'm a big fan of having the proper tool for the job so I carry a EDC very similar to your but with the addition of the Rule of two or three when ever possible:
I normally carry:
Benchmade AFOII Auto Knife or Gerber Auto 06 for normal cutting tasks
Microtech Dirac Delta or Ultratech Double Edge Non-Serrated for Defensive Work
SIG P220 45acp w/8rd mag plus two 10rd mags all loaded with Underwood 185gr JHP +P MV 1200 FPS ME 592 Ft/Lbs Underwood uses Nosler projectiles for this load and they are design to Mushroom to almost twice the original diameter at this velocity while maintaining 95% Plus of its mass.
SIG P226 357Sig w/12rd mag plus two 15rd mags all loaded with Underwood 115 gr JHP MV 1550 FPS ME 614 Ft/Lbs Nosler Projectile
SIG P226 40SW w/12rd mag plus two 15rd mags all loaded with Underwood 135gr JHP MV 1400 FPS ME 588 Ft/Lbs Nosler Projectile
Glock Gen 4 G20 10mm w/15rd mag plus two 15rd mags all loaded with Underwood 135gr JHP MV 1600 FPS ME 768 Ft/Lbs Nosler Projectile same as the 40sw. Upgraded and 100% Reliable (KKM Match barrel, Trijicon HD Night Sights and 24 LBS ISMS Recoil Spring.)
I use a Olight PL-3 Valkyrie Rail Mount Light as weapon light
My EDC light is usually the Olight Arkfeld Flat Flashlight with Green Laser & White Light and the Warrior Mini 2 Compact EDC Tactical Flashlight
I also carry a Zippo lighter but I do not smoke.
CRKT Tactical Pen
I carry 15 feet of US Made Para Cord in a para cord bracelet that a PR2 at my first command showed me how to make and it is great way to carry para cord that has millions of uses.
I carry the Underwood ammo because a neighbor that is also a LT with the Sheriff Dept SWAT Team told me that is the ammo that the SWAT Team uses.
I keep a fairly well stocked and complexed Trauma bag in my jeep since my wife was a EMT before moving down to Florida and meeting me.
The SOG Power Pint is an AWESOME little multi-tool that Punches Way above its weight class and I highly recommend it because I used to carry the Leatherman Wave but the Pint is half the size with more functional tools.
I always wear a Ballcap usually one with a Moral patch and I started to put items inside the patch between the Velcro and the Patch things like Survival kits from Readymantools.com after reading the 100 Deadly Skills by Clint Emerson. The Titanium credit card size that is pre-cut to have all sorts of items for emergency situation from fishing hooks to Lock picking tools.
I literally learned so much about everything watching this. Never thought to put the time on somebody’s for head. Simply brilliant.
Lighter is always good to have. Coch is the man!
Thanks so much for your time and willingness to give us viewers your knowledge of circs and equipment to be better prepared to live another day. I really appreciate your service to our awesome country as one of our elite , kick ass seals!!
Thanks again for producing a post that is so beneficial to us viewers. This is Alan, GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California.
Nice! I'm in agreement on the knife as to having a special 'meat cutting knife.' I have a knife every day because for work I have to cut boxes, tape etc, but cutting cardboard dulls your knife real quick so I have a separate small box cutter that someone gifted to me IN ADDITION to my 'steak cutter' in the even I need that and it is an appropriate size to be able to wield properly.
I EDC a Spyderco folder , a box cutter , and an old fashioned Russell Green River hunting knife . I mostly use the Green River knife for eating . At work I often use a piece of cardboard as a cutting board and cut bits of meat and cheese for a redneck charcuterie .
I'd recommend replacing the box cutter with a real knife.
Good list. One thing I always carry that didn’t make your list is a few feet of 1” wide duck tape wrapped around a small bit of plastic with a short section of 550 cord to make it quicker to extract from my pocket. In addition to all its standard household value, it’s great for securing an improvised chest seal, as a pressure dressing or for closing wounds.
Just wrap it around a bic.
LEGIT. We also carry around a small jogging pepperspray. Old lady took a class on it and attaches it to her keychain. Little less gory than a knife and give her a little more standoff distance.
OMG, this is driving me crazy! We know the EDC gun of choice. The knife of choice. The holster of choice. But what about the other EDC item? Everyday Cake of choice. All say a lot about a man. Superior content as always. Tactical Hyve always deliver the goods. Coch your the man👍
Good EDC stuff to know, thanks for keeping it simple. I just started wearing a light because someone told me their LE friend helped rescue people during earthquake in Oakland, CA in the 1990's. He said his flashlight was invaluable. I never thought about it until my friend told me. A light is also good for tactical reasons as well, shine 1000 lumens in their eyes and they will be occupied for a minute.
CCW Safe really does appear to have the best coverage. If you watch their video on defending the guy in court for murder you will see that they basically saved his life. He was getting railroaded by the DA.
Case in point for the insurance, they're coming for Kyle after being acquitted. Thanks Coch
Good stuff 👍. I also carry a small (Write in the Rain) notepad. Being able to make notes on a patient’s/victim’s info (age, injuries, vital signs, etc.) to hand to EMS when they arrive is a good idea, also who knows what else you may want to make a note about (when safe to do so). I am probably like many here and have a box of so-so holsters I won’t ever use again. That being said I have two different Werkz Holsters for two different pistols. Both work great. Always good stuff from Coch and the other Boyz @ TH.
Are you the GBGB ?
If you have a pen that can write (and stay!) on skin, you always have a place for a few important details.
I also like to carry a little RINTR notebook, but mostly just so I can doodle a little during a firefight to help calm my nerves
The background of the story is the country side in the north-east of the Netherlands, somewhere in the 20's or 30's, when land workers were traveling from farm to farm to find work and earn some money. Here it is (I had to translate it from a dialact which is spoken in the north-east of the Netherlands and English is not my first language, so there will probably be spelling and grammar errors):
On the other side of the bridge over the ditch stood a dog, a Dobermann, snarling and barking. Through my 8 year old eyes it looked like a monster. "Come, walk on!", my father said and he stepped upon the bridge. I followed him, with my eyes closed. The dog snarled and growled even harder and slowly walked upon the bridge, towards us. He was ready to jump. I quickly closed my eyes again. Suddenly I heard a splash. I opened my eyes and was afraid that my father fell into the water. But he stood there on the bridge and I saw him closing his knife, his razor sharp Herder, and put it back into his pocket. Beneath, in the ditch I saw the dead dog drifting. The water around it got red.
Then I saw and heard the farmer, he was shouting and ran towards us. When he stood in front of my father he shouted: "What did you do with my dog?!" There was a moment of silence and then my father replied: "I'm here to get my salary for the past week." My father had worked the whole week at this farm to harvest potatoes. He continued: "And who thinks I will not get my earned salary, will also disappear in the ditch." My father had his eyes fixed on the farmer and the farmer turned pale. Then he turned and walked back to his farm. We followed him and in the kitchen my father got his salary. "There will be no work for you here anymore", the farmer said. I saw on the look of my fathers face that he didn't even want to work at this farm anymore.
When my father died forty years later, my brothers and sisters had to divide the things he left. I wanted only one thing: his last Friedrich Herder knife, which now lays on the bottom of a copper box
EDC Walther’s PPS 9mm Benchmade Claymore Streamlight Booboo kit
The only thing I'd add to your kit is a Firestarter and chapstick. I carry a bic with 3 feet of duct tape wrapped around it.
Good choices . I carry a Zippo lighter and six feet of Paracord . Have you seen the trick of scraping some of the plastic off a BIC lighter and using it as tinder ? When a BIC lighter runs out of fuel the flint and striker can make enough sparks to set the plastic tinder alight if you make enough shavings .
@@victorwaddell6530 That's a really good idea. I use the duct tape as accelerant, and of course it's also very useful as tape too.
BTW, the chapstick tube and cap is also great tinder.
You'll never need chapstick if you use tallow or shea butter before bed on your lips
Coch our EDC is almost identical, great minds think alike. The only thing I carry in addition is OC Pepper Spray. Like in one of your previous videos,being an old warrior, I would prefer to let me feet be the best tool to avoid that fight, but sometimes it is not an option. ROE as a civillian don't always allow you to end a confrontation with a bullet or a blade, so I like having that less lethal option. Mike Tyson in a can, especially a quality brand like Sabre or 1st defense, usally ends it before it begins. Love the videos you put out there frogman, stay safe and thanks! Semper Fi!!
A popular Fed round is 124gr Gold Dot +P.
I’ll be starting to do personal security for high profile clients, red carpet events. Btw I got ccw safe first day I started carrying. Iphone is my edv coms, carry two knives, one otf and a karambit with the emerson wave. Got a concealable level III vest, Cat 7 tourniquet, Afaik kit, edc light. Glock 19 appendix or owb Safari gls retension at 2-3 o’clock if wearing a suit jacket, Federal HST
What a genuinely nice bloke and a great video.
I might suggest specifically a CAT tourniquet as at least its easy to self apply and potentially hemostatic gauze like Celox. Cheers for a great watch mate.
Great video as always. Coch is so humble and always great on camera!
Great Video!!! I need to get the insurance. If have a tourniquet you should have a small pair of gloves to protect from blood pathogens. You can get a small set wrapped up. Really good advice if in an area with hype. Thanks!!!
I am not a military guy; just an old man living in one of the more dangerous cities in Canada. This is what I carry to go outside for any reason: Dog repellent pepper spray; Cold Steel Tactical Axe Head Cane; 21" S&W extending baton; 6" diamond blade, double-edged Gerber boot knife and a 3.5" folder plus full coverage eye protection ... just to go for a walk or to the drug store. Plus the light, multi-tool, power-bank, phone, pen, notebook, leather gloves, heavy boots and a nasty scowl. More, of course, for longer excursions - first aid kit, etc.
From personal experience I have learned it takes about half a bottle of spray to get a Fentanyl Zombie to back off and maybe an entire bottle for a Methhead.
Great idea on carrying the same ammo as local PD. I never thought about it before.
But why the same type ammo? As long as it's legal, who cares?
The only thing I would add is a chest seal
Outstanding videos Coch! I pretty much live in level 2 at all times. A few things that I carry other than what you mentioned are paracord, a good amount of electrical tape wrapped around a BIC lighter. Also Celox gauze and granules in a small IFAK. I am always outdoors and in the mountains so I always have Iodine tabs and a couple life straws in my bag. Oh yeah Gummy bears!
That's about it...🤔
I feel so old. My EDC is a SA Mil Spec 1911. I have a nice Don Hume that keeps it tucked in pretty good.
Everyone always hating on Olight 🤣🤣🤣 But I just seen a drop test with an Olight and a Surefire Fury today and the Olight outlasted the Surefire no lie!!!
If they would start using standard batteries I'm pretty sure they would be more popular.
I tend to tape a little bag with a pair of nitrile gloves to the gauze package, likely for personal use, but specially if I need assistance from a third party, so he/she can have PPE and break the "I'm not touching a stranger's blood" barrier.
CCW safe is, l think the best self-defense insurance you can get. I done a lot of research and I found out CCW SAFE is the way to go....
Thanks for the advice and sharing your experience
I would also add a good analogue watch.
Good information.
i added wireless earbuds to my EDC...this way I can talk hands free to a dispatch and give real time updates so hopefully when the good guys get there they'll know I'm a good guy too.....
thats the carry ins I use. I always have a small rite in rain notepad. it comes in handy if I see or hear something I need to research later or pass on info to others as needed
I was always taught not to pack gauze into the torso. Just to apply an ocd, use an NCD if needed, and medics do chest tubes. I think the gauze packing might be a little outdated, unless you know something more advanced.
I’d carry a way to start a fire too, it’s cheap and useful in many situations
I add the larger pistol and still carry my everyday pistol. Plus have a little more medical along chest seals, and more dressings.
I have all these items on my person, except the to tourniquet and the multitool. But i have added to my EDC POM OC Spray.
Thank you! You’ve addressed quite a bit of gear and related “why” in a personable, easy to digest manor, that the “every-man” can understand….
2nd Werkz and Olight. Have the same setup on a Glock 19 with the baldr-s. The werkz m6 and m7 have worked great for me also.
I have a werkz with my P365X Macro/streamlight TLR7 sub combo. I like that werkz specifically designs holsters for guns with lights. Chances are they have most gun/light combo holsters you can think of! My nightstand gun is a G45 with a Holosun SCS, and an olight Baldr s mini/red laser combo and a 33rd Glock mag in it 🤣
"There might be cake!" That's so funny & I didn't expect it! That's going to be my response the next time someone asks "Why do you need a knife?" Thanks Coch.
Coch is so chill and f-ing cool.
Great stuff…add a small canister pepper spray too. I keep one on my person and one at a hand’s distance away in the car.
Great video! Thank you, Sir!!
I have a habit of asking people, including the celebrities that I loften meet, about their essential EDC.
I asked this question of my old boss, Lady Thatcher. She replied instantly. She always carried a torch,(a flashlight to you lot), in her handbag. She did so because when she was trapped in her hotel room after the Brighton Bombing, she was plunged into darkness.
That was never going to happen to her again.
Good advice which I have followed to this day.
I giggled at the pen part. An ocean lifeguard I work with on his first day right out of training had to use a tourniquet and wrong the time on the patients forehead as trained. Funny seeing it in real life on a fully conscious person
The coolest, most humble tactical guy…but look closely, is that a lanyard on his cellphone case!
I'm almost of age to concealed carry, so instead of open carrying I've been wearing concealed IIIA soft body armor on top of the regular IFAK, flashlight and pen.
Sir, why don’t you guys do appendix carry? I’ve wondered that for a while now.
if you have a gut, appendix is not practical.
Depends on the weapon and body type, as well as your style of dress. If you wear t-shirts that fit and jeans, and actually have some abs, it can be less concealed and less comfortable. Some also dont like the draw. CCW is a very personal thing, use what works for you.
Coch- check out the tactical jeans available that look normal. 221B has a ton of pockets, has some stretch and you can pocket carry and have mags, pepper on you.
You mentioned a knife and leatherman, but a quality pair of utility scissors should be mentioned for cutting clothing. Knives can be used but you run the risk of accidentally slashing your patient and creating another wound you have to tend to.
I like my werkz holster with my 365 xl and surefire light.
My EDC is always the lightest I can get.. so generally I carry a Mace brand pepper guard flip top safety. Liquid stream.10-12 ft Latest model upgraded to 1.4% capsatinoids .. one of the most potent formulas you can buy... My knife is a Spyderco delica 4 serated .. flashlight is a streamlight micro stream rechargeable... Keychain light is a Nitecore .. mini Swiss army SD keychain knife... I have a small pouch with..SWAT -T tourniquet (doubles as a pressure bandage) tiny amount of gauze .. nitrile gloves.. blood stopper powder...&2 chest seals ..mini sharpie.. daily carry is either my Taurus TCP .380 loaded with copper Corbon hollows .. or my Smith's 342 11 oz air light TI titanium cylinder 38 special centennial.. loaded with Federal HST..38+p.. both are carried in my right front pocket in a DeSantis Superfly pocket holster with velcro on flap to prevent printing in the pocket.... I occasionally carry my Ruger lc9s pro 9mm and iwb holster. Loaded with plus p Hornady xtp
More great stuff. I always enjoy your trainings. My favorite presenter.
Good tip on using the same carry ammo as the FBI or local LEOs
I'm encouraged to know my EDC is not too different from yours (while specific brands/models might differ, the roles are congruent). One thing I carry that wasn't mentioned here is a non-lethal option - for me, that's pepper spray. I figure there are more likely times when I'll need something between going hands-on and going ballistic.
I use olight weapon lights too. They work
What, no more snubby revolver?! Loved your mention of the SW351C. It’s in my pocket all the time unless I carry the larger 357mag SW327PC snubby with 8 shots which is an amazing gun- low kick w 38+P.
Coch, is that a Wilson Combat grip module on the Sig P320? I thought I caught a glimpse of it. I have one of their grip modules on my Sig 320 as well and it really made a huge difference in the way the gun felt and handled
Well done..thank you
Coch kicks butt, appreciate you!
Great video, really appreciate your honest no BS approach 👊
EDC up to weapon in the same. Walther PDP compact and SIG P238 backup.
We don't wound pack the torso.. you could pack every roll of kerlix you have in your bag into the torso and you'll make no difference on a bleed. Pneumothorax is is the preventable cause of death for penetrating trauma to the thorax. Chest seals.
That GI issue OD green wool blanket ya use for the equipment layout tho ... damn, I love them.
They're gettin' hard to find too.
searched edc 2023 marshmello set but i guess this works.
There might be cake! I'm gonna steal that line.
You dont put gauze in a torso wound at all because that will cause antentonnemo thorax. Use chest seals or make shift ones applied the right way. Thank refuge medical for responder 1 and 2.
Solid content as always, thank you!
Cash. Money - strictly to be used in an emergency. A couple hundred dollars, in $20's. One of the best survival tools you can have on your person. And water. I always have a stainless steel bottle of water. Useful for thirst, can be used when full as a club.
That’s why you stab them in the taint. You can put a tourniquet on the taint
We have cake in the UK too, always prepared to “brake for cake”!
CCW Safe is perhaps one of the best post incident legal protection companies out there. It is way better than USCCA. Why? Because USCCA is an insurance company and like any insurance company they treat your case like a claim and they can drop your claim with no recurse. CCW Safe and other companies in the field are not incorporated legally as an insurance company. Do not be deceived by the “training” USCCA offer, which for the most part is garbage and get post incident legal protection by CCW Safe or other company but not from USCCA.
Good stuff. I also like a short bit of cordage. 550 if you're cheap, or some fancy aramid stuff for way less bulk and more abrasion resistance if you value your pocket space.
"use what the local cops are using" thanks for that key advice
You covered the points Brother. Semper Fortis T-man
I always carry a bandana type handkerchief. Great for snot, can be marginally used as an extra tourniquet, and of course if there's cake, ya gotta wipe off the crumbs.
Big big fan of all of your hard work on these videos. Coch my favorite thing about you run cheaper average joe accessories on some of your weapons. Watching you run Romeo 5s etc shows you don’t have to buy the best to be the best. I run a eotech on my bcm and sig lpv on my dd
I remember only having my phone and my very minimalist wallet and my pocket folder, since getting into EDC omg feeling held down and it’s been an endless rabbit hole of upgrading and packs all sorts and sizes and the flashlight addiction like I admit I need help now😂 the evolution never ends and I can’t leave none at home because I rely on my edc now I find my self actually using a lot of my stuff even at work🤦🏻♂️ but the flashlights of lord and the CCW is kinda easy because I personally won’t go anything under a 9mm period, has to be smallest possible and as reliable as it gets so now the options start to really get small like a handful if that.
Awesome, Coch! Thank you for the med tips.
Another great no BS vid I like your down to earth thinking thanks for taking your time to do these vids
The most useful EDC I have isn't anything on this list. It's my handkerchief. My kid needs it almost everyday. #dadlife
I was looking for a hunting knife that lasts for a long time and doesn't rust. Finally, I got the knife that met my expectations. This knife doesn't rust for 2 years. I am very glad the blade is the same sharp as the first day it was. I bought it from Alf Knives and am thinking about buying another one for my little brother.
What an amazing coincidence that the knife you bought is the same as your user name. And that you've linked it in your profile. Amazing. 😑
You need to have less than lethal options to manage non deadly force situations, which you much more likely to encounter on a day to day basis. I'm trained in chemical agents so I carry pepper spray.
