Love to hear a guy from Alaska talking about going "up north" as if Alaska isn't already considerably more up north than most of us will ever experience. Great vid, dude. I'm also a big fan of small trad folders, appreciate that. Incidentally, I live in the middle of a city in Ontario and drive an suv, but still keep an axe and a tow strap beside the spare tire with a headlamp in the glove box.
Finally a realistic video about everyday carry items. No 8x8 tarps from a specific website or water bottle that doubles as a convection oven. The tool set is something my father taught me to always keep with you and almost nobody ever mentions it. Great video 👏🏻
Hate watching EDC videos when it’s all brand new gear, or all sponsored gear with affiliate links. I appreciate your channel because it seems honest and true, all your stuff is lived in and has real practicality
I may never get to meet you but I just want to thank you. I’ve watched your videos for years and a week ago you old video “show me your steak challenge” popped up and I watched it. I’ve struggled with anxiety for years and like the guy in your story I have been sailing on a ship I myself was sabotaging. My anxiety lost me a lot and I kept avoiding things I once loved just to almost make deals with the anxiety until it had everything and I could hardly leave my house. I lost friends, my gf, and so many opportunities because I was scared to call for help and I thought I could douse the blaze and save the ship myself. Well after that video I decided I didn’t wanna watch my ship burn anymore and I reached out for help and got on medicine and have therapy lined up. For anyone out there who’s ship is aflame reach out for help I know its hard but your not alone. Thank you dave you will always have a special place in my heart
Good info Dave. Ive carried a pocket knife for decades, and never leave the house without water, long before bottled water was a thing. ... I tell ya, you could be a story teller, or narrator. You and Brooke are two of my favorite people on RUclips.
This is the first time I smiled entirely through an E.D.C. video. Probably because I do not normally watch them, although Dave has that below-the-surface sarcasm covered with knowledge, that kept me enthralled. Love you, Dave. Mr. Whipple can survive. Shalom.
Couldn't agree more on the water. Once you're used to carrying water, its almost like panic mode whenyou don't. I also have a water supply to simply go to the store. Like so many things in life, its the simplest and most evident that are important to keep in the forefront! Can't wait for more Whipple videos!!!
Thanks for making the video. I really enjoyed it. One item I always have in my car is ratchet straps in case I want to bring something big home with me 😂. Take care!
All very useful! I absolutely love your videos. These brought me through my breast cancer battle this past year, and I’m spending this year preparing to build my own cabin. I hope you see this. I just want to say thank you for bringing me through some of the darkest days of my entire life so far. I’m going to have to fight for quite a bit longer, but I made it through my double mastectomy this past August. Watching these videos gave me a new focus, and they helped me survive. Thank you for everything!
Yes I definitely remember the go-bag days. Funny thing is that guaranteed 95% of the people never even used the bags, it was all about who could have the most glamourous and or expensive assortment of tools all perfectly organized in a couple hundred dollars worth of Maxpedition bags and pouches.
Had one I used a couple of times long distance cycling when the bike died. Hate to disappoint but it was a couple of cheap tarps (later a poncho and tarp), a very small kit for boiling water, a few energy bars, two multitools (bike and a general one), map and compass, water filter, few sachets of coffee, lighter, small first aid kit,water and the rest was clothes ect and occasionally some sandwiches.All kept in a small light cheap rucksack. No Maxpedition, no grappling hook, no big knife. You only stop walking when you are totally worn out and an elaborate kit would just become a burden. It's amazing how many don't consider the weight of what they are carrying for a long walk.
I loved seeing the guys who couldn't fit all "essentials" into one create collections of go bags for any number of imagined scenarios. It all boils down to selling the latest and greatest of pseudo survival engineering excrement. One of my favs was the "tactical" fishing bags for emergency fish assault maneuvers. *roll eyes*
I love the nighttime picture of the wall tents. I used to go to rendezvous so I have fond memories sitting around the campfire and passing the little brown jug of Apple Pie trading stories and laughter. ❤
I will be 70 years old in July 2024, I grew up and spent so much of my live in the backwoods of the Sierra Nevada mountains, I live in the central valley of California. I still carry a Boy Scout compass, a small Swiss army knife, a lighter, and my heart meds, (just in case I need it). The lighter, heart med, and soBlistex lip protector is always in a pocket. Knife and compass always in what ever fanny pack or small bag, purse, I am carrying. I carry much more in a little larger pack if I am going to the mountains or anywhere that might be a overnight trip. So, I still do as I have done since about 12 years old when my father first gave me a old refillable lighter to carry, I handled hunting knives from a young age, cleaned a lot of trout and bass. I handled a rifle from about 9 and had a small bow and arrows before that. We were always fishing and hunting in the mountains and camped in the backwoods.
My EDC is pretty simple too. Water, a Leatherman (Wave), Zippo lighter, some tools, hatchet / axe in the truck, blanket, and I have to be honest, my Glock 20 (10mm) and a few extra mags. A flashlight too. Great video Dave. I'm Grumpy Old Man, and I'm radical. WOO.
Thanks you! Other youtuber who do bushcraft carry as follow: - Bushcraft knife $100 - ferro rod (Never the cheap one - always the expensive one) - home made lighting fire tools (why? you can use a lighter) - bushcraft tarp $100 (just get a tarp, it's cheaper and does the same job) - *fill the blank* skin bag or pouch (very expensive - I get it it doesn't get wet, but c'mon, who has the money to buy those things) all this is to say: leaving off grid and bushcrafting is meant to be cheap and a return to origins. The way many youtuber do it is just expensive and doesn't make sense to be. I just wanted to thank you for keeping it simple
Please don’t drink from the water hose unless it’s pure rubber, the plastic ones have PCBs which are proven carcinogenic. If you’re really thirsty, drain the liquid from electric transformer. Yum
You and I are a lot alike in a lot respects. I almost lost my life in a kayaking incident in Colorado several years back. The weather turned nasty in a matter of minutes and I found myself in a cold, snow-melt mountain lake, soaked to the skin with no way to make fire once I reached shore. Never again! I carry a larger knife though. I am definitely radical!
Get a larger knife with a 'deep pocket' clip on them. That will completely change your idea of what knives you can carry. A few of the Walmart "four dollar flippers" are actually quite good. Growing up on a farm I wanted a locking blade, a thick blade, and a cheap knife, because they are always getting used as screwdrivers or tractor points scrapers or making dinner. I've heard the military guys liked the k-bar fixed knives because they held up to being used for non-knife tasks like prying out door hinge pins.
I purchased a small pocket knife and now it is my sole EDC item. I have been amazed how often I actually uses it - typically several times a week.. Thanks for this advice!
I can relate to being somewhat disconnected from the "EDC" crew. So many of them talk about the latest tech stuff, sharpest knife, guns, ammo, etc. But then there's us, who have everything we need...with us...most all the time. It's just not very glamorous. I have hiked for most of 40 years with a key chain swiss army knife. I retired the Bowie after my second hike. I do carry a fillet knife. But that's fishing...lol. great video.
Looks like you’ve got a TL29 Navy issue knife. The black one with the bail loop. Those were mil-standard knives and very well made. I think I’ve still got mine around here somewhere. I like carrying my Buck knife on my belt. I’ve had it since about 1975.
nice one, Dave! Here in the crowded Netherlands you can't walk a mile without stumbling upon a town or village. No need to carry knives, tow-straps, axes, water. My EDC consists if my phone and bank card. All I need to get by here, sadly enough.... I sometimes wished I lived in an area where you would need a chain saw in your car from time to time.
Best, most honest, EDC video on RUclips! With almost 1 million subs, Dave would have had but to ask and he could have been inundated with the latest "Gucci" flashlights, knives, etc., ALL FOR FREE just to make THIS video with their product. It's why I love his, and his wife's channel. They are honest people and not dishonest sell-outs like 99% of the people on YT. You know the ones, the channels that pop-up in your feed the week Olight is running a promo and they claim to use nothing but the Olight de jur and telling you that you should buy it even though you've never seen the product on their channel EVER before. Great video Dave!!! My only regret watching is that I can only give it one thumbs up!
Great points! I adore Brooke and Dave’s content. Got me through dark times and reminds me there are good people out there. And to turn down and tune out the fake and over-dramatized, complicated nonsense!
Dang Dave, you are one hell of a guy. In this crazy world of today you seem to be the consummate man. Your Dad must have done a lot right! Thanks for all of your videos. I always learn a lot from you and truly enjoy watching the videos you produce. God Bless and happy 2023 from Southwest Michigan
When I lived alone in remote Alaska I always had with me an old german rubberized rucksack. I either always had it on my back, or in the canoe. It had four or five BIC, not cheap, lighters double wrapped in ziplocks, a magnesium lighter, a bag of various bullets, my big game hunting knife, a wool blanket in the top flap, a plumbers candle, a wad of oregon line string, a partial role of duct tape, a gun cleaning kit, a pocket full of ziplocks and grocery bags, a bottle of Hoppes gun solvent, a fifty foot length of poly rope, two extra pair of wool socks in a ziplock bag, a tube of marine underwater epoxy, and one of those little aluminum mess kits.
Excellent lesson in what it means to be PRACTICAL! Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Your video reminded me of my younger years when my family & I lived within the geographical bounds of the Daniel Booned National Forest in SE Kentucky for 6 years. Weather often isoltaed us even from the nearest small-town, so we had to have what was really needed in our old second-hand vehicles.I never owned a 4-wheel drive, but using a Come-along, I have wenched my vehicles out of places where the 4-wheel drives remained stuck. Necessity was ofetrn the Mother of Invention! I've been away from there almost half a century, but the lessons learned there have been timely & timeless in a variety of emergency situations.
My absolute favorite pocket knife is the lil" swiss army knife with tooth pick and tweezers , little scissors and a blade. I have carried this style for over 20 yrs now. takes care of all my pocket knife duties .
Small knife, mini bic, small flashlight, cell phone. I have these things on me at all times. Vehicles all have tools, water, food geared for the season. That's about as EDC as I get and I gear up from there as needed for whatever is going on that day. Good video, nice to know I'm not alone in a more "minimalist EDC" approach. It's always seemed a bit stilly to me to "be prepared for the zombie apocalypse" and carry that in your pockets every single day.
I totally agree. Sometimes when you watch the EDC type content i seriously cant wrap my head round how all the tools would get regular use people seem to put in those smaller pocket organizers even. Then i understand if someone has specific reason for the item. What i carry with me often changes simply what i happen to do that day. Although i almost always have packbag with me in town if i visit stores, and such because i use it as my shopping bag as well, and damn that thing gets slowly filled with such random items.
I am, to put it generously, NOT a handy guy, but I am trying to get there. I stumbled onto one of your cabin build videos and I was fascinated right away. I've since seen a lot of your videos and have enjoyed and learned from every single one. Thank you for posting your content, it's top notch.
Well, thanks for explaining all that but I agree it's absurd. I am 55 yrs old. I grew up in the country. I was always told by parents, "If you want something, work for it or make it yourself!" Today, no one does any of that, unless to complain. I enjoy your channel as is. It's a gold mine of information and your experiences. Thank You Sir and your Family. I am sure your Dad is proud of you. I know my dad is proud of me. He's gone, but, I HERE HIM LAUGHING FROM TIME TO TIME, when the ravens come in to gossip in the field. God Bless You
I never really got into the pocket knifes, but I always have my small tool bag in the truck along with a 4 way lug wrench. When up in U.P. , I add a small first aid kit in the vehicle. Thanks for the video 👍
I have that same headlamp! Also, along with a scarf, I also keep a hat, gloves, and extra coat in my car. And a sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad, lifejacket, and raincoat. And a poncho. I guess I’m extra cautious when it comes to staying warm and dry in case I get stuck somewhere. And of course, water is very important! I can’t believe people don’t take plenty of water with them.
Yes, for real and practical. Good stuff! I have three 24 oz shaker bottles that I fill with my water for the day. I carry a hip bag to hold a few things including a water bottle. I keep busy driving around town for three teenagers (thus need more spontaneous walks at any park I find) so I need more fitness and my hip bag keeps me ready to go! I also run the roads to see older parents so I keep a pack or bag with overnight comforts to visit my parents. I figure it could be handy no matter what cause I have to be away from home for the night. I'm sure the edc guys would laugh but the practical things to fit real surprise possibilities in each of own lives will serve us best! Love your edc and how it serves you!!! Thank you for sharing!
Very similar to my carry. Grew up in the Ozark’s of Arkansas on a cattle farm. Small pocket knife, bowsaw, hatchet, good chain and a little rope or hay twine sure come in handy at times.
Hey Dave! Great vid. My husband was also a concrete finisher for 30 years. He’s recently retired, but he still keeps busier than he wants doing side jobs. His knees are pretty worn out. He carries a knee pad too. Thanks again! Take care and say “Hi” to Brooke ✌🏼
I'm with ya on the pocket knife, water, tools in the truck and simple cellphone (yours is fancier than mine). Your list is a good balance of experienced sensibilities and trust in your own resourcefulness. I was in the commercial tent business for decades and one of my EDC's is a good measure of rope.
Wintertime we have snow here in central Oregon, so I also carry a knock down snow shovel and a sleeping bag…appreciate your videos and thanks for the EDC video!
I enjoy the videos, thanks for making them. I keep most of what you've mentioned organized in a grey rubbermaid tote in the back of my old xterra and if I may add to the list... a plastic 5 gallon bucket! I've used the thing so many times!
I was in the path of hurricane Ian and my BOB was a lifesaver. When you are without power for days, I was able to cook up quick and easy meals in a snap. I also carry a couple gallons of water in the car as the Florida heat can get you dehydrated quickly. Thanks for the info Dave great video as usual.
Not what I was expecting ,because EDC videos are always showing off the “ best “ / most expensive and newest stuff but this one was definitely the actual best edc video I’ve seen so far
Water is No.1 when mobile for sure, Mr Radical. Spot on! Every vehicle I drive has plenty drinking water in it. Not just for my thirst; you can rinse an eye, wash a wound, clean your hands or offer it to a stranger in an emergency. I started to always carry water when my kids came along; "Dad, I'm thirsty". Sometimes the child really is the father of the man!
Excellent video Dave, THANKS ! I carry a little folding knife" on my key chain that looks like it's a key. Use it almost every day. $2 from Harbor Freight. It'll take a fair edge but doesn't stay sharp for long. I've given lots of them to friends and most of them use it more than they ever expected to. Happy New Year !
Instead of guitar picks I often carry harmonica. Also enjoy my Leatherman. It gets used nearly every day. Also carry a lighter and pocketknife. Keeping some water in your vehicle is a good idea. I think I will try to make a habit of that. Thanks Dave, hope you're not missing the snow too much. 🙂
Im 24 and have literally everything you mentioned on me or in my 94 1500 at all times, minus the ax and pick, not sure where I got the EDC bug from! I guess I just hate needing stuff and have been without one thing or another one to many times! Got smart. Thanks for the upload!
One thing I always have available in my car or in the woods is superglue. You can use it for quick stitches. I cut my cheek to the bone (in the middle of nowhere Upper Peninsula) and good ole superglue saved me. Can't even tell I had a huge gash on my face now. Lol
As I wait for my last (hopefully) surgery in February, I plan on doing SO much of what I've seen on your videos, when I'm recovered in the Spring, especially a cabin build for my wife & I to get away to. This was a good and very important video. The axe is going in my truck tomorrow!
Thank you!, I live in NJ and we pretty much have every option available in every town not far away but I have a hatchet, machete , knife, skittles, water, tools, breaker bar, impact gun, 3T jack,jack stands, fluids, jump cables, jump pack, lights, lighter, extra clothes, rain jacket n pants, creeper, US-B and C charger, in my truck bed in one box. Always prepared for the inevitable break down to make life easier!
Thanks Dave, always good to see you. My head torches/lamps are strapped the headrests - just reach back, and there they are. I carry a 10 litre water jerry and 10 litre diesel jerry behind the diver's seat; thousands would argue about fuel in the vehicle, but with an AFAC approved jerry, it's all OK (metal, lock and good gasket). I like the idea of carrying an axe beside the driver's seat; I'll Velcro mine on. I do carry a grab bag as driving across Australia can be through spinifex, which can cause a fire - so grab your gear bag and go! Mine hangs off the rear of the driver's seat. I've watched many YT's and many say that unless your survival gear is in your pockets, it's not a survival gear setup. I don't carry fish hooks and wire in my pockets ;) Thanks again.
Thanks Dave, your videos have a relaxing effect on me that remind me of home. Your info is so relatable and makes me appreciate how i was raised, my dad did a good job instilling practicality in me. Im in CA now but was raised in MI. Hearing the eastern chickadees in your out door vids makes me smile. Just thanks. You remind me of parts of myself that i took for granted.
I wear a scarf when I have a cold or sore throat. Helps me heal faster, I feel. I put knock sensors in my suburban. Probably the most involved work I did. I replaced the starter, alternator, shocks, spark plugs, serpentine belt, ac belt. Love working on my own vehicles. Yes, I absolutely travel with plenty of water for me and my dogs.
Thanks Dave this was great, all these items are important to have no matter where you live. I don’t have the axe, but the rest are super important to have in a kit if you drive in rural and remote areas. I will ask my Dad to give me one of his axes. Those small LED pop up lanterns are handy too. I keep one in my car all the time. 👍🏻
Brilliant! I've been looking at this photo for a few days now. Another EDC montage. It's 5 AM and nothing preaaing to accomplish on a Sunday morning so it's as good a time as any to open this video up. How refershing! A simple, peactical video.Thank you! Boy, you don't see that very often.
Hey, Dave. Try prying the child-proof guard up out of the flame well. I use the 'handle' of a pair of nail clippers. It will bend up the little tabs that keep it in place. Use the clippers to bend those back down. Or, you can just slip something between the wheel and the child-proof guard to pry it out. No need to remove the shroud at all.
This is what I do too. I use the small screwdriver on my SAK to pry the tabs up, then pliers to pull the guard out, then mash the tabs down again with the screwdriver.
Great video. I still love gear videos. My EDC -Money clip with 2 cc, insurance card, driver's license -Uniball Elite pen with blue-black ink. -Böker pocket knife. -Samsung A70 cell phone. I keep stuff in my truck, but the 4 things above are always in my pocket
Loved your EDC list, Dave! Over the years, I've changed flat tires in some really dangerous spots, so I started carrying an impact wrench with a socket to fit my lugnuts attached. Saving time on a tire change in a bad spot could be a life saver! 😀
I carry one also…I have horses and a huge trailer……a 4 way ain’t gonna cut it…with an impact I can change a truck or trailer tire in less than 10 minutes and that’s with 3 minutes of bitching about it
I agree with you man. This is our 3rd winter off grid in NY and I’m a big fan of your channel and I relate with you a lot of the time. I have a small stash of stuff in each of my coat pockets so I never go anywhere without the basics during the winter because you never know what can happen. Rock on.
If you gently work a small pointed tool or screwdriver under the ligher's safety spring (between the spring and the wheel), you can pry it up enough to yank it straight up and out with a thumb holding it (the spring) firmly against the tool. Avoids removing the collar to do it.
I believe I found your channel in 2017 and have been a subscriber since then. Also subscribed to the "Cheap Wheels" channel. Always look forward to new uploads. Been busy with Hurricane IAN cleanup, Insurance, and Roofers. Otherwise I would have seen this earlier.
One of the more common sense EDC videos I've seen. And I want to thank you! Watched your cabin building videos and those gave me some great ideas for my wood fired hot sauna build. Hope you both have a great year.
In the past few years, I'd realized that in some form or another, I've had an EDC since I was in first grade. Always wanted to be prepared for that My Side of the Mountain experience, I guess. Now that I'm in my 40s, it's just second nature to carry what I might need. Daily backpack is a 24-hour kit. Tool bag and camping kit are always in my car with a 72-hour supply of food and water. I also can't wrap my head around people not carrying water. Thanks for sharing some common sense with the RUclips community!
That was my favorite book when I was a kid, right next to the Boyscout Handbook. I've studied survival tips all my life....and a lot of it has come in useful for me or other people. I'm confident when I travel alone wherever that might be. People think I'm nuts but I don't care. As a female, two things that are in my Jeep at all times...an empty coffee can and a roll of TP. :) I've got a couple decades on you but being prepared is never a bad thing....unless you just get too obsessed with it all.
Loved My side of the mountain…..I am 62 and I remember carrying a small folding case knife since I was in 3rd grade….I remember teachers asking me to borrow my knife in class…I am never without a knife…except on a friggen airplane
I switched to waterproof (or all weather) notepads a few years ago. I work in construction and it's always wet or humid in Ontario and I find they don't get ruined in my pocket like the traditional paper ones do.
Thanks Dave for sharing your everyday carry items and emergency tool ideas. I never thought about carrying a lighter but that is a great idea. Happy New Year to you and your family. Blessings always.
I love your practical approach to everything. My dad always carried a pocket knife in his pocket all his life, and it usually came out in use at least once a day. Same thing with a lighter. Yep, I think there is such a thing as being too prepared imho.
I agree with your minimalist EDC philosophy. I carry a Victorinox Classic SAK as my EDC knife. I also carry a Bic lighter (currently a full size) with the child-resistant tab removed.
While there are more ways than one to make fire or cut things, it's hard to find an adequate substitute for a good pick, especially one with an abrasive gripping area. ~Coming from a drummer who also plays guitar and several other instruments. Happy New Year, Dave! 💫 🥁
100% agree on the small pocket knife. If you sit down and it jabs you in the pocket, you're going to take it out, and you'll be sorry when you end up needing it. Those Imperial knives are fine knives, too. I've probably got 20 of them, at least half given to me by my depression-era father who hated spending an extra penny that he didn't have to.
I’m a food manager, so my EDC is a box cutter, bright keychain flashlight to inspect fridges and blades, and my keys. I have a fully stocked toolbox in the office, so I can make any repairs promptly.
This is why this is a fantastic channel. While there is the practical advice of what to carry, it is also the wisdom and experience that is imparted with it that is even more valuable.
I have a tiny Buck 306 Duet Lancer Scissors pocket knife that reminds me of what you love about a small pocket knife. It’s tiny, has a small blade, and a small pair of scissors. Very nice to have in pocket for the random cutting needed.

Dave is somewhere between 'cool uncle' and 'cool older cousin' territory. What a legend.

That means a LOT to me that you found something that valuable in a piece of video I shot. Best of luck going forward..you've got this
Good info Dave. Ive carried a pocket knife for decades, and never leave the house without water, long before bottled water was a thing. ... I tell ya, you could be a story teller, or narrator. You and Brooke are two of my favorite people on RUclips.
Thanks !!!
I try to always leave the house with water so I didn't end up buying a drink while out. Then well once I caught on to this I was off to an okay start.
This is the first time I smiled entirely through an E.D.C. video. Probably because I do not normally watch them, although Dave has that below-the-surface sarcasm covered with knowledge, that kept me enthralled. Love you, Dave. Mr. Whipple can survive. Shalom.
3:55 The easiest way to remove a safety from a lighter is to pry a small blade between the safety and the rollers and it pops right out, that’s it :)
Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone and making this video. Many valid points were made. Stay safe, stay sane and stay radical...
Thanks, you too!
Couldn't agree more on the water. Once you're used to carrying water, its almost like panic mode whenyou don't. I also have a water supply to simply go to the store.

Yes I definitely remember the go-bag days. Funny thing is that guaranteed 95% of the people never even used the bags, it was all about who could have the most glamourous and or expensive assortment of tools all perfectly organized in a couple hundred dollars worth of Maxpedition bags and pouches.
LOL right
In Russia such "survivalists" are called "slightly protected source of survival stuff and some food you may need" ))))
Had one I used a couple of times long distance cycling when the bike died. Hate to disappoint but it was a couple of cheap tarps (later a poncho and tarp), a very small kit for boiling water, a few energy bars, two multitools (bike and a general one), map and compass, water filter, few sachets of coffee, lighter, small first aid kit,water and the rest was clothes ect and occasionally some sandwiches.All kept in a small light cheap rucksack. No Maxpedition, no grappling hook, no big knife. You only stop walking when you are totally worn out and an elaborate kit would just become a burden. It's amazing how many don't consider the weight of what they are carrying for a long walk.
Haha exactly, all gear that looked brand new and never used too
I loved seeing the guys who couldn't fit all "essentials" into one create collections of go bags for any number of imagined scenarios. It all boils down to selling the latest and greatest of pseudo survival engineering excrement. One of my favs was the "tactical" fishing bags for emergency fish assault maneuvers. *roll eyes*
I love the nighttime picture of the wall tents. I used to go to rendezvous so I have fond memories sitting around the campfire and passing the little brown jug of Apple Pie trading stories and laughter. ❤
Awesome. That picture was taken on the Yukon river back in 2014. One of the people in the pic is me. Brooke took that photo
I will be 70 years old in July 2024, I grew up and spent so much of my live in the backwoods of the Sierra Nevada mountains, I live in the central valley of California. I still carry a Boy Scout compass, a small Swiss army knife, a lighter, and my heart meds, (just in case I need it). The lighter, heart med, and soBlistex lip protector is always in a pocket. Knife and compass always in what ever fanny pack or small bag, purse, I am carrying. I carry much more in a little larger pack if I am going to the mountains or anywhere that might be a overnight trip. So, I still do as I have done since about 12 years old when my father first gave me a old refillable lighter to carry, I handled hunting knives from a young age, cleaned a lot of trout and bass. I handled a rifle from about 9 and had a small bow and arrows before that. We were always fishing and hunting in the mountains and camped in the backwoods.
I forgot, I carrya Small pen light flash light also in my bag or purse, fanny pack
Well, now that you bring it up, I carry at least a water bottle and a extra water bottle. Paper and pencil too❣️
My EDC is pretty simple too. Water, a Leatherman (Wave), Zippo lighter, some tools, hatchet / axe in the truck, blanket, and I have to be honest, my Glock 20 (10mm) and a few extra mags. A flashlight too. Great video Dave. I'm Grumpy Old Man, and I'm radical. WOO.
Thanks you! Other youtuber who do bushcraft carry as follow:
- Bushcraft knife $100
- ferro rod (Never the cheap one - always the expensive one)
- home made lighting fire tools (why? you can use a lighter)
- bushcraft tarp $100 (just get a tarp, it's cheaper and does the same job)
- *fill the blank* skin bag or pouch (very expensive - I get it it doesn't get wet, but c'mon, who has the money to buy those things)
all this is to say: leaving off grid and bushcrafting is meant to be cheap and a return to origins. The way many youtuber do it is just expensive and doesn't make sense to be.
I just wanted to thank you for keeping it simple
Well, that was like taking a drink from a garden hose! Very informative, and very fast paced! Always entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got very sick from drinking out of a garden hose. Gardenia is no joke! I had to go to ER and get a drip. I let the water run a long time as well.
Please don’t drink from the water hose unless it’s pure rubber, the plastic ones have PCBs which are proven carcinogenic. If you’re really thirsty, drain the liquid from electric transformer. Yum
Now that’s the type of gun owner we need more of Dave. You’ve got them for sure, but no one needs to know about them. Ever. Good man right there
You and I are a lot alike in a lot respects. I almost lost my life in a kayaking incident in Colorado several years back. The weather turned nasty in a matter of minutes and I found myself in a cold, snow-melt mountain lake, soaked to the skin with no way to make fire once I reached shore. Never again! I carry a larger knife though. I am definitely radical!
Get a larger knife with a 'deep pocket' clip on them. That will completely change your idea of what knives you can carry. A few of the Walmart "four dollar flippers" are actually quite good. Growing up on a farm I wanted a locking blade, a thick blade, and a cheap knife, because they are always getting used as screwdrivers or tractor points scrapers or making dinner. I've heard the military guys liked the k-bar fixed knives because they held up to being used for non-knife tasks like prying out door hinge pins.
Practical, inexpensive tools from someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. Good stuff!
I purchased a small pocket knife and now it is my sole EDC item. I have been amazed how often I actually uses it - typically several times a week.. Thanks for this advice!
thanks
I can relate to being somewhat disconnected from the "EDC" crew. So many of them talk about the latest tech stuff, sharpest knife, guns, ammo, etc. But then there's us, who have everything we need...with us...most all the time. It's just not very glamorous. I have hiked for most of 40 years with a key chain swiss army knife. I retired the Bowie after my second hike. I do carry a fillet knife. But that's fishing...lol. great video.
right on
Nice practical list couple things I always have (I'm always doing handyman stuff for friends and relatives) duct tape electrical tape and zip ties
tie wire
Looks like you’ve got a TL29 Navy issue knife. The black one with the bail loop. Those were mil-standard knives and very well made. I think I’ve still got mine around here somewhere. I like carrying my Buck knife on my belt. I’ve had it since about 1975.
I have a head lamp 🔦, but you have given me some more ideas 💡. Thank for sharing. I love your channel.
nice one, Dave! Here in the crowded Netherlands you can't walk a mile without stumbling upon a town or village. No need to carry knives, tow-straps, axes, water. My EDC consists if my phone and bank card. All I need to get by here, sadly enough.... I sometimes wished I lived in an area where you would need a chain saw in your car from time to time.
Best, most honest, EDC video on RUclips! With almost 1 million subs, Dave would have had but to ask and he could have been inundated with the latest "Gucci" flashlights, knives, etc., ALL FOR FREE just to make THIS video with their product. It's why I love his, and his wife's channel. They are honest people and not dishonest sell-outs like 99% of the people on YT. You know the ones, the channels that pop-up in your feed the week Olight is running a promo and they claim to use nothing but the Olight de jur and telling you that you should buy it even though you've never seen the product on their channel EVER before. Great video Dave!!! My only regret watching is that I can only give it one thumbs up!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Great points! I adore Brooke and Dave’s content. Got me through dark times and reminds me there are good people out there. And to turn down and tune out the fake and over-dramatized, complicated nonsense!
Dang Dave, you are one hell of a guy. In this crazy world of today you seem to be the consummate man. Your Dad must have done a lot right! Thanks for all of your videos. I always learn a lot from you and truly enjoy watching the videos you produce. God Bless and happy 2023 from Southwest Michigan
When I lived alone in remote Alaska I always had with me an old german rubberized rucksack. I either always had it on my back, or in the canoe. It had four or five BIC, not cheap, lighters double wrapped in ziplocks, a magnesium lighter, a bag of various bullets, my big game hunting knife, a wool blanket in the top flap, a plumbers candle, a wad of oregon line string, a partial role of duct tape, a gun cleaning kit, a pocket full of ziplocks and grocery bags, a bottle of Hoppes gun solvent, a fifty foot length of poly rope, two extra pair of wool socks in a ziplock bag, a tube of marine underwater epoxy, and one of those little aluminum mess kits.
Excellent lesson in what it means to be PRACTICAL! Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Your video reminded me of my younger years when my family & I lived within the geographical bounds of the Daniel Booned National Forest in SE Kentucky for 6 years. Weather often isoltaed us even from the nearest small-town, so we had to have what was really needed in our old second-hand vehicles.I never owned a 4-wheel drive, but using a Come-along, I have wenched my vehicles out of places where the 4-wheel drives remained stuck. Necessity was ofetrn the Mother of Invention! I've been away from there almost half a century, but the lessons learned there have been timely & timeless in a variety of emergency situations.
My absolute favorite pocket knife is the lil" swiss army knife with tooth pick and tweezers , little scissors and a blade.
I have carried this style for over 20 yrs now. takes care of all my pocket knife duties .
Me too! What tool do I use the most? The toothpick!
Small knife, mini bic, small flashlight, cell phone. I have these things on me at all times. Vehicles all have tools, water, food geared for the season. That's about as EDC as I get and I gear up from there as needed for whatever is going on that day. Good video, nice to know I'm not alone in a more "minimalist EDC" approach. It's always seemed a bit stilly to me to "be prepared for the zombie apocalypse" and carry that in your pockets every single day.
LOL. right
I totally agree. Sometimes when you watch the EDC type content i seriously cant wrap my head round how all the tools would get regular use people seem to put in those smaller pocket organizers even. Then i understand if someone has specific reason for the item. What i carry with me often changes simply what i happen to do that day. Although i almost always have packbag with me in town if i visit stores, and such because i use it as my shopping bag as well, and damn that thing gets slowly filled with such random items.
I am, to put it generously, NOT a handy guy, but I am trying to get there. I stumbled onto one of your cabin build videos and I was fascinated right away. I've since seen a lot of your videos and have enjoyed and learned from every single one. Thank you for posting your content, it's top notch.
Thanks!!
Well, thanks for explaining all that but I agree it's absurd. I am 55 yrs old. I grew up in the country. I was always told by parents, "If you want something, work for it or make it yourself!" Today, no one does any of that, unless to complain. I enjoy your channel as is. It's a gold mine of information and your experiences. Thank You Sir and your Family. I am sure your Dad is proud of you. I know my dad is proud of me. He's gone, but, I HERE HIM LAUGHING FROM TIME TO TIME, when the ravens come in to gossip in the field. God Bless You
I never really got into the pocket knifes, but I always have my small tool bag in the truck along with a 4 way lug wrench. When up in U.P. , I add a small first aid kit in the vehicle. Thanks for the video 👍

I have that same headlamp! Also, along with a scarf, I also keep a hat, gloves, and extra coat in my car. And a sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad, lifejacket, and raincoat. And a poncho. I guess I’m extra cautious when it comes to staying warm and dry in case I get stuck somewhere. And of course, water is very important! I can’t believe people don’t take plenty of water with them.
Yes, for real and practical. Good stuff!
I have three 24 oz shaker bottles that I fill with my water for the day.
I carry a hip bag to hold a few things including a water bottle.
I keep busy driving around town for three teenagers (thus need more spontaneous walks at any park I find) so I need more fitness and my hip bag keeps me ready to go!
I also run the roads to see older parents so I keep a pack or bag with overnight comforts to visit my parents. I figure it could be handy no matter what cause I have to be away from home for the night.
I'm sure the edc guys would laugh but the practical things to fit real surprise possibilities in each of own lives will serve us best!
Love your edc and how it serves you!!! Thank you for sharing!
Very similar to my carry. Grew up in the Ozark’s of Arkansas on a cattle farm. Small pocket knife, bowsaw, hatchet, good chain and a little rope or hay twine sure come in handy at times.
right on
Hey Dave! Great vid. My husband was also a concrete finisher for 30 years. He’s recently retired, but he still keeps busier than he wants doing side jobs. His knees are pretty worn out. He carries a knee pad too. Thanks again! Take care and say “Hi” to Brooke ✌🏼
I'm with ya on the pocket knife, water, tools in the truck and simple cellphone (yours is fancier than mine). Your list is a good balance of experienced sensibilities and trust in your own resourcefulness. I was in the commercial tent business for decades and one of my EDC's is a good measure of rope.
Ah! Good one. I have a bunch of rope too you can see it when I pull out the axe
The guitar pick also make a good fire starter. I enjoy his channel.
Wintertime we have snow here in central Oregon, so I also carry a knock down snow shovel and a sleeping bag…appreciate your videos and thanks for the EDC video!
I enjoy the videos, thanks for making them. I keep most of what you've mentioned organized in a grey rubbermaid tote in the back of my old xterra and if I may add to the list... a plastic 5 gallon bucket! I've used the thing so many times!
This was a refreshing change from the usual EDC vids. It's time to rethink our own EDC. Thanks!
I was in the path of hurricane Ian and my BOB was a lifesaver. When you are without power for days, I was able to cook up quick and easy meals in a snap. I also carry a couple gallons of water in the car as the Florida heat can get you dehydrated quickly. Thanks for the info Dave great video as usual.
Hopefully, your "quick and easy meals" didn't involve having any "old friends for dinner"!!!!! 😆
you're one of the most likable people on RUclips, very authentic... god bless
Not what I was expecting ,because EDC videos are always showing off the “ best “ / most expensive and newest stuff but this one was definitely the actual best edc video I’ve seen so far
Water is No.1 when mobile for sure, Mr Radical. Spot on! Every vehicle I drive has plenty drinking water in it. Not just for my thirst; you can rinse an eye, wash a wound, clean your hands or offer it to a stranger in an emergency. I started to always carry water when my kids came along; "Dad, I'm thirsty". Sometimes the child really is the father of the man!
Excellent video Dave, THANKS ! I carry a little folding knife" on my key chain that looks like it's a key. Use it almost every day. $2 from Harbor Freight. It'll take a fair edge but doesn't stay sharp for long. I've given lots of them to friends and most of them use it more than they ever expected to. Happy New Year !
Instead of guitar picks I often carry harmonica. Also enjoy my Leatherman. It gets used nearly every day. Also carry a lighter and pocketknife. Keeping some water in your vehicle is a good idea. I think I will try to make a habit of that. Thanks Dave, hope you're not missing the snow too much. 🙂
Not missing it at all actually. Good to hear from you Dave
Im 24 and have literally everything you mentioned on me or in my 94 1500 at all times, minus the ax and pick, not sure where I got the EDC bug from! I guess I just hate needing stuff and have been without one thing or another one to many times! Got smart. Thanks for the upload!
One thing I always have available in my car or in the woods is superglue. You can use it for quick stitches. I cut my cheek to the bone (in the middle of nowhere Upper Peninsula) and good ole superglue saved me. Can't even tell I had a huge gash on my face now. Lol
right on!
You are Right On with your EDC. Practical, necessary and easy to carry. Thanks. 💕💥💕
As I wait for my last (hopefully) surgery in February, I plan on doing SO much of what I've seen on your videos, when I'm recovered in the Spring, especially a cabin build for my wife & I to get away to. This was a good and very important video. The axe is going in my truck tomorrow!
right on
Thank you!, I live in NJ and we pretty much have every option available in every town not far away but I have a hatchet, machete , knife, skittles, water, tools, breaker bar, impact gun, 3T jack,jack stands, fluids, jump cables, jump pack, lights, lighter, extra clothes, rain jacket n pants, creeper, US-B and C charger, in my truck bed in one box. Always prepared for the inevitable break down to make life easier!
Thanks Dave, always good to see you.
My head torches/lamps are strapped the headrests - just reach back, and there they are.
I carry a 10 litre water jerry and 10 litre diesel jerry behind the diver's seat; thousands would argue about fuel in the vehicle, but with an AFAC approved jerry, it's all OK (metal, lock and good gasket).
I like the idea of carrying an axe beside the driver's seat; I'll Velcro mine on.
I do carry a grab bag as driving across Australia can be through spinifex, which can cause a fire - so grab your gear bag and go! Mine hangs off the rear of the driver's seat.
I've watched many YT's and many say that unless your survival gear is in your pockets, it's not a survival gear setup. I don't carry fish hooks and wire in my pockets ;)
Thanks again.
Thanks Dave, your videos have a relaxing effect on me that remind me of home. Your info is so relatable and makes me appreciate how i was raised, my dad did a good job instilling practicality in me. Im in CA now but was raised in MI. Hearing the eastern chickadees in your out door vids makes me smile. Just thanks. You remind me of parts of myself that i took for granted.
I wear a scarf when I have a cold or sore throat. Helps me heal faster, I feel. I put knock sensors in my suburban. Probably the most involved work I did. I replaced the starter, alternator, shocks, spark plugs, serpentine belt, ac belt. Love working on my own vehicles. Yes, I absolutely travel with plenty of water for me and my dogs.
Wife makes me dickies with a chest and back extension to fill the gap at the top of the coat zip. Wondered how I managed before now.
awesome
I like your outlook. I get so freaked out if I forget my phone. Then I think back to when I didn't have one. It's nice to see the basics here.
thanks
Headlamp on the shifter is good practical idea.
Always helpful info. from folks that have lived that lifestyle! Thanks for the tips.
thanks
Thanks Dave this was great, all these items are important to have no matter where you live. I don’t have the axe, but the rest are super important to have in a kit if you drive in rural and remote areas. I will ask my Dad to give me one of his axes. Those small LED pop up lanterns are handy too. I keep one in my car all the time. 👍🏻
Right on
I love your EDC more than any other I’ve seen!! Thanks for sharing
Brilliant! I've been looking at this photo for a few days now. Another EDC montage. It's 5 AM and nothing preaaing to accomplish on a Sunday morning so it's as good a time as any to open this video up. How refershing! A simple, peactical video.Thank you! Boy, you don't see that very often.
Hey, Dave. Try prying the child-proof guard up out of the flame well. I use the 'handle' of a pair of nail clippers. It will bend up the little tabs that keep it in place. Use the clippers to bend those back down. Or, you can just slip something between the wheel and the child-proof guard to pry it out. No need to remove the shroud at all.
This is what I do too. I use the small screwdriver on my SAK to pry the tabs up, then pliers to pull the guard out, then mash the tabs down again with the screwdriver.
That was awesome!! For someone who is looking at properties to build my own homestead, this was very educational!
Thank you for your always practical and sound advice and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Great video. I still love gear videos.
My EDC
-Money clip with 2 cc, insurance card, driver's license
-Uniball Elite pen with blue-black ink.
-Böker pocket knife.
-Samsung A70 cell phone.
I keep stuff in my truck, but the 4 things above are always in my pocket
right on
Loved your EDC list, Dave! Over the years, I've changed flat tires in some really dangerous spots, so I started carrying an impact wrench with a socket to fit my lugnuts attached. Saving time on a tire change in a bad spot could be a life saver! 😀
I carry one also…I have horses and a huge trailer……a 4 way ain’t gonna cut it…with an impact I can change a truck or trailer tire in less than 10 minutes and that’s with 3 minutes of bitching about it
@@k9six185 😁
Good to see you Dave! Very practical EDC
Well happy anniversary brotha, keep up the content we definitely enjoy it.
I agree with you man. This is our 3rd winter off grid in NY and I’m a big fan of your channel and I relate with you a lot of the time. I have a small stash of stuff in each of my coat pockets so I never go anywhere without the basics during the winter because you never know what can happen. Rock on.
If you gently work a small pointed tool or screwdriver under the ligher's safety spring (between the spring and the wheel), you can pry it up enough to yank it straight up and out with a thumb holding it (the spring) firmly against the tool. Avoids removing the collar to do it.
Thanks
I believe I found your channel in 2017 and have been a subscriber since then. Also subscribed to the "Cheap Wheels" channel. Always look forward to new uploads. Been busy with Hurricane IAN cleanup, Insurance, and Roofers. Otherwise I would have seen this earlier.
Loved this!!! Great practical info!! Love those head lamps for sure!!
One of the more common sense EDC videos I've seen. And I want to thank you! Watched your cabin building videos and those gave me some great ideas for my wood fired hot sauna build. Hope you both have a great year.
Thanks
In the past few years, I'd realized that in some form or another, I've had an EDC since I was in first grade. Always wanted to be prepared for that My Side of the Mountain experience, I guess. Now that I'm in my 40s, it's just second nature to carry what I might need. Daily backpack is a 24-hour kit. Tool bag and camping kit are always in my car with a 72-hour supply of food and water. I also can't wrap my head around people not carrying water. Thanks for sharing some common sense with the RUclips community!
That was my favorite book when I was a kid, right next to the Boyscout Handbook. I've studied survival tips all my life....and a lot of it has come in useful for me or other people. I'm confident when I travel alone wherever that might be. People think I'm nuts but I don't care. As a female, two things that are in my Jeep at all times...an empty coffee can and a roll of TP. :) I've got a couple decades on you but being prepared is never a bad thing....unless you just get too obsessed with it all.
Loved My side of the mountain…..I am 62 and I remember carrying a small folding case knife since I was in 3rd grade….I remember teachers asking me to borrow my knife in class…I am never without a knife…except on a friggen airplane
My mom read it to us kids too
I gotta know. lol. What was your first grade EDC?
@@melissaroth4467 Oh you know, everything a six-year-old needs: a juice box, a granola bar, a few band-aids, and some paper and colored pencils!
Really love watching your videos, thanks
I love your videos. Very educational and interesting. I love the way you deliver the info.
Thanks for sharing! Love your channel and practical mindset. The guitar pick is a definite necessity. 😉👍
It really is!
I switched to waterproof (or all weather) notepads a few years ago. I work in construction and it's always wet or humid in Ontario and I find they don't get ruined in my pocket like the traditional paper ones do.
thanks
Thanks Dave for sharing your everyday carry items and emergency tool ideas. I never thought about carrying a lighter but that is a great idea.
Happy New Year to you and your family. Blessings always.
Thank you Dave grade information sharing with us, and I wish you all the best you and your family in 2023.
Same to you!
I love your practical approach to everything. My dad always carried a pocket knife in his pocket all his life, and it usually came out in use at least once a day. Same thing with a lighter. Yep, I think there is such a thing as being too prepared imho.
Wow! Great Video! Thanks for making your videos.
Glad you like them!
What a excellent video ! You nailed it on what to carry and different colors and styles of the items .
I have always loved your videos, the way you speak and teach people is just amazing. We thank you for everything you do. have the day you deserve.
Wow, thank you!
I agree with your minimalist EDC philosophy. I carry a Victorinox Classic SAK as my EDC knife. I also carry a Bic lighter (currently a full size) with the child-resistant tab removed.
right on
While there are more ways than one to make fire or cut things, it's hard to find an adequate substitute for a good pick, especially one with an abrasive gripping area. ~Coming from a drummer who also plays guitar and several other instruments.
Happy New Year, Dave! 💫
🥁
100% agree on the small pocket knife. If you sit down and it jabs you in the pocket, you're going to take it out, and you'll be sorry when you end up needing it. Those Imperial knives are fine knives, too. I've probably got 20 of them, at least half given to me by my depression-era father who hated spending an extra penny that he didn't have to.
Go Team Whipple!
Love y’all’s videos!
Thank you for sharing!
You’re so cool dave
Thanks
Your EDC is Brooke!!!
yup
I’m a food manager, so my EDC is a box cutter, bright keychain flashlight to inspect fridges and blades, and my keys. I have a fully stocked toolbox in the office, so I can make any repairs promptly.
This is why this is a fantastic channel. While there is the practical advice of what to carry, it is also the wisdom and experience that is imparted with it that is even more valuable.
Cool
Re-upload?
LOL technical issues
Loved it!!! Those were the very same things that my dad taught us four boys to carry with us every day.
I have a tiny Buck 306 Duet Lancer Scissors pocket knife that reminds me of what you love about a small pocket knife. It’s tiny, has a small blade, and a small pair of scissors. Very nice to have in pocket for the random cutting needed.
My every day carry is T.H.G. ! " The Holy Ghost " 🤗🕊👍😎
