I keep a black cloth (bandana/shemagh) to cover my pack in case I'm leaving it in the floor of someone's truck or something, just to keep it out of sight. Plenty of other uses, too. Might even work with that lock to keep things secure. Any utility knife that takes standard blades, and you can have a blade simply with a stop at a gas station. Toss the blade before you get back to the airport.
So, I am not the only one that travels with a carabiner for dual purpose. I may have picked that up from Ron Hood 30 or so years back. The steel Search and Rescue carabiners are truly an amazing tool. Kevin is always enjoyable to listen to, he is on the same page as most of the better instructors.Remember, if someone is good enough to decode your keys from a RUclips video, they are certainly good enough to pick your locks.
I just retired Oct 2023 but traveled nationally (North America) for over 40 years. Most of what is presented here I have done or do now but I just learned about the Grayl water bottle and already ordered before finishing this video because, as stated, hotel water can be pretty nasty tasting. I also like the warm up pack and yes, I have 2 locking carabiners on my back pack as well. Very informative video so >>> THANKS !
Very well thought out video and I did pick up a couple ideas. The Tide packs are a great idea! I had been using a small refillable squeeze bottle with detergent but this is easier and far less likely to get messy!
I always carry an EDC similar to this everywhere I go. I learned some Ideas to save wait and gain more utility with this load out. Well Done! The Lock Leash is an amazing Idea! Thank you!
excellent! I keep all med gear in one large zip lock baggie including trauma shears. When TSA asks - trauma shears PART of my medical equipment! Great cutting tool!
Hey Kevin, You didn't ask, but here's a suggestion for a video to make. You mentioned at the end that you had a means to make fire, build a shelter, etc. How about a video showing how you'd do it with exactly the things you had here plus your normal EDC? Like a simulated SHTF situation. Thanks!
Love my Antero. Have carried daily for about five years now. Two recommendations. Level 3 panel in the back sleeve, and a small sheet of Tyvek or Silnylon tarp for additional shelter.
Thing on scissors, if you carry it on the plane it might be seized internationally. Checked is always fine but I’ve had medical shears and tiny scissors from multitools like leather man and victorinox seized. Sometimes they let you through, sometimes they don’t. Even with a full explanation.
Nice!! I definitely don't sort my electronics properly and i haven't been using color coded bags. I'll be so glad when the trickle down from Europe forcing everyone to use usb-C charging ports. I didn't see a solar charger for your battery bank so i might be one up on you with that. I definitely still use the BiC with inner tube just like you taught us previously. My med kit typically has Anti chafing ointment that doubles as chapstick and wound antiseptic (get salty britches) nose spray and Sudafed the real stuff (in mass Sudafed works as an upper)
I get it to carry a tarp. There are many useful ways to apply a tarp for survival. What I don't understand is why almost every video they never mention a LifeTent or Mylar sleeping bags? If taken care of, Mylar can be used for extended periods of time, and Mylar takes less space, lighter, and for heat retention or waterproof, they are a perfect example of survival essentials
Fun fact: "Aviator gloves" aka "Nomex Gloves" are also issued to 19K M1 Armor Crewmen (tankers) and M2 Bradley Crewman (cav scouts) as well as Paladin crew (artillery). It's not just aviators that are issued them. They wear out *fast* on armored vehicles though due to the non-slip surfaces embedded in the CARC paint which acts like sandpaper. That's why we were also issued standard black leather gloves. Shooty-shoot bad guys with 120mm tank rounds? NOMEX gloves. Doing literally anything else? Black leather gloves. I just keep a pair of GI-issued black leather gloves either on me in the field or in the vehicle as they work great for GP work gloves as well as fire handling.
Great job my friend. I even carry a big magnifying glass for fire. The lock and carabiner- brilliant, easy! Gives you the Ability to improvise. I will subscribe. Thanks for not being full of common sense fluff. Just looking at the contents makes you go over unexpected scenarios in your mind.👍👍 Each item has a Use! Great job
I listened to you on Joe Rogan and just started watching your firearms training videos. I have watched hundreds of other tactical videos on all different peoples pages. You by far are a natural teacher and I got so much info from it. Things I have seen on other pages I thought were right but now know are wrong. Keep it up I can’t imagine how many people are learning in detail from you.
Great video! So refreshing to see wired earbuds! So many clueless people out there who use wireless ear buds! Same sheep who use TikTok and have Facebook on their phones. Absolutely, the easiest way into your phone and personal data is via wireless buds!!!
I would add a few chemlights for a power outage situation, cheap to purchase and saves your batteries in flashlights if you are just hanging out in hotel room or camp
I keep the duct tape on old hotel card keys. When I'm not as limited for space I have a couple with wide Gorilla Tape, 1" gorilla tape, and electrical tape.
I also keep a roll of flagging tape, good for marking a trail if you have to move on foot and need to find a way back later or your electronics go down and your buddies need to track you
Exactly what Ive been looking for. I travel for a living so I always figured if my ultimate goal was to get home . To my home id need to carry more than just a bug out bag or edc tho. Maybe like an inch bag if vehicles aren't an option
Hey man that’s a cool set up! Thank you for sharing! You have a lot of good, useful stuff in there and not just filled with a bunch of gear like a lot of people! Wouldn’t completely fit my needs but again, this is YOUR pack not mine! Thank you for sharing and stay safe Bro! You definitely have a new subscriber!
One more point is that if you don't monitor email or are local to the community that you're in you probably WON'T be aware of any boil water advisories pushed out to the public. In Metro areas these BWA are very common.
Sorry, I forgot a multitool and obviously a waterproof. My DIY heat reflective, breathable, wind & water repellent/proof anorak, over-pants and mittens are my essential over-wear. There combined weight are about 6.5 ounces. The anorak and over-pants reduce down to two small lumps, one in each hand.
@@TheShadowrrc Im assuming he would use it as a weapon but this is gaytube and he didnt want the trouble that comes with it had he stated that. This is what makes the most sense to me.
Sunglasses that are ANSI certified . I wear a brand that will not break he bank is nemesis brand pretty cheap they used a lot in the oilfield and manufacturing industry super comfortable . I have had lead or copper jacket hit me in sunglasses and just scratched them . There not really fashion ones but will work.
I understand this is as carry on for inside the US. I travel internationally and even intercontinental. In some countries that scissors won't fly. The rest seems to be a good load out..
Just to confirm that these items meet TSA requirements. What do you do for a knife if you need one at your destination? The scissors or improvise with something else?
That was awesome man! I love the multi use carabiner and the leash and the padlock would definitely co.e in handy as well in a stressful situation. That Grayl set up is absolutely amazing! Is it the bigger or smaller Grayl bottle and where did you get the nesting cup for it? Again brother, this content is awesome!!
Super surprised you don't travel with a rip stop bag. I'd imagine if you're worried about key copying, people slicing the back of your bag when it's on your back would be a consideration.
I also travel a lot. I keep copies of credentials and payment methods on an encrypted USB drive and try to carry a $100 in cash. I need to upgrade my Grayl, from the old plastic to the Ti one.
I've been looking for tourniquets everywhere can't find them where do you get them??? Nobody ever let's you know where you can get a tourniquets if not is there something else that you can use that will work????
Suprised you don't include something like a bike helmet when climbing / hiking up steep unstable ground, smoke signal, flares, or something like a bright orange hammock which if stranded can be tied to a tree or around a rock so 'search and rescue' can spot you faster.
@@flowersafeheart A bike helmet typically weighs 280grams / 10 ounces, and they're made out of polystyrene foam. They have the usual clips to strap on your head. Those same clips can be latched onto your backpack on the outside. It's basically what "Beast Runners" wears when he's doing search and rescue, including bright colors. He's not about to get lost and injured himself when going off trail to recover someone.
One question...how to I use the dog leash with the padlock? I see the comments and apparently everybody knows how it goes, but I don´t. Anybody would elaborate please? Thanks in advance!

Those Tide packs are lifesavers when travelling. I might get a Grayl filter-see if it makes a difference drinking water in South America.

I would love to see this as a written list
Agreed! With links would be even better.
Ditto!! It really does help when that's done.
So, write it down, and look at it.
It's almost like Google, pad and pen and a pause button don't exist
@@thewatcher611 lol I literally came to the comments to see if anyone had said this yet. If not- I was going to.
Add a P-51 can opener. Tiny and cheap, but if you need it like I have in the past, a game changer.
one of the best EDC videos on contents and presentation!!!!
Love my Antero. Have carried daily for about five years now. Two recommendations. Level 3 panel in the back sleeve, and a small sheet of Tyvek or Silnylon tarp for additional shelter.
Hello I wanted to know what bag he’s carrying here.

Nice, not focused on gear and selling, but the function and objective. Nice!
So fricking helpful! Please keep them coming! (That's what she said!)
lol
Ha! Good one
Oh I totally learned something great from this. I’m on planes 50% of the time. Time for a 🐕 leash and my trusty master lock. Thanks Kevin!
a sock and a couple of golf balls or bar of soap.
Or a sock and a lock
Masterlock gonna come unlocked the first time you swing that thing😂 aint shit trusty bout a master lock.
That Master lock can be picked in seconds with a paperclip.
@@ericsteel173 He isn.t using it to lock somthing he is attaching the short dog leash and making a flail.
Great tip on not showing your keys. A lot of people don't know how easy it is to cut a matching key from a picture/video.
Yes, many CAD/CNC programs that will copy by image that are not hard to use or get.
But a good picture and calipers will do the trick
Like when a reporter for The Washington Post published a hi-res picture of the entire set of TSA master keys? lol
Good load out, I would add a trash bag.
I get it to carry a tarp. There are many useful ways to apply a tarp for survival.
What I don't understand is why almost every video they never mention a LifeTent or Mylar sleeping bags? If taken care of, Mylar can be used for extended periods of time, and Mylar takes less space, lighter, and for heat retention or waterproof, they are a perfect example of survival essentials

Each item has a Use! Great job
Great display of essential gear. So, where is your bivy, tarp & stakes for wilderness. I would suggest a down or synthetic sweater as well.
Love this video. Love the channel. Also had my first press of the Fieldcraft Survival coffee from BRCC today. Damn fine cup of Joe!

Good gear and very thought provoking I carry a bandana and a lock but the short leash seems sturdier might carry both .
Your the better part of fieldcraft survival.
Very similar contents for my travel bag. The dog leash is a good one. I've been using a bandana in that role.
Whats the point of the leash? Ive watched this video mroe than once and have alwayd scratched my head. What am i missing here?

Great video! So refreshing to see wired earbuds! So many clueless people out there who use wireless ear buds! Same sheep who use TikTok and have Facebook on their phones. Absolutely, the easiest way into your phone and personal data is via wireless buds!!!
Most of the new phones built in the last 3-5 years unfortunately don't have a earbud jack anymore 🙄😒
I also have two big battery chargers fully charged wherever I go. You said it yourself your phone is your main communication.
Garmin InReach! Love mine phenomenal emergency product and fun too.
Expensive! How often are you using it?!
The grail water bottle is $100 😂. I love how expensive prepping becomes.
I wouldn't yet know what to do with some of those items but this video is so badass!
One of the better EDC videos lots of good ideas. Thanks!
Never thought of using a carabiner as... something else. Cheers for that mate.
I would add a few chemlights for a power outage situation, cheap to purchase and saves your batteries in flashlights if you are just hanging out in hotel room or camp
I keep the duct tape on old hotel card keys. When I'm not as limited for space I have a couple with wide Gorilla Tape, 1" gorilla tape, and electrical tape.

Brilliantly presented and well thought out. Several takeaways thank you
Great video! Took me way too long to 'get' the whole dog leash thing. That's great!
Exactly what Ive been looking for. I travel for a living so I always figured if my ultimate goal was to get home . To my home id need to carry more than just a bug out bag or edc tho. Maybe like an inch bag if vehicles aren't an option

Great video love these types of videos gives better ideas to what to pack what to not. But the leash and lock questionably strange😂
Do you check this bag when flying or is it carry on? There is a few items here that I wouldn’t be allowed in carry on in Australia
I live in Holly Springs I am coming to visit next month, I can not believe you are 45 minutes from me in NC.

How about adding some overshoes in with that!
@@flowersafeheart The weight of overshoes precludes their value except during winter. What about Wellies?
@@ULperformance I am curious about the anorak and pants.... do you have pics/link?
Nice senseble load out. I would have added an Apple or Samsung tag for tracking.
can I make a suggestion, your TQ should be within super quick reach and your padlock should already be on the leash and also with quick access.
whats the deal with the leash and padlock?
@@TheShadowrrc Im assuming he would use it as a weapon but this is gaytube and he didnt want the trouble that comes with it had he stated that. This is what makes the most sense to me.
Wrapping the duct tape around a bic lighter is a great idea also✌️
You need the T60 from Coalcracker bushcraft. Super lightweight and would be perfect.
Nice I'm about to travel from ohio to texas and back I'll double check my pack before we head out and ill keep this video in mind
How about an airtag? If your pack is stolen or lost you can recover it.
THANKS! Nice light kit! ??? next time please provide list of items in description ! Saves us time having to look up each one on the googles! LOL!

It's just the outer sleeve that you use to hold the dirty water. I believe its the smaller on but don't quote me
It’s a titanium all in one solution Grayl came out with. Only the smaller size is available last I checked.
How do you use the leash, padlock and carabiner? I really want to know. 🥺
Super surprised you don't travel with a rip stop bag. I'd imagine if you're worried about key copying, people slicing the back of your bag when it's on your back would be a consideration.
I like pacsafe bags for just that. 40l for onebag, also for a sling bag/fanny pack and a 10l larger sling.

Or hand restraint
It’s a melee weapon.
I’m surprised there wasn’t more snacks Kev! Gotta get more of the trail mix from class!
Add two or three emergency mylar blankets and i will say its top brass. Thats my criticism.....
