Nice choice of tools. Given that I mostly use my knife for on the way food preparation (cutting apples for the kids, having a decently sharp kitchen knife when visiting friends) I couldn’t live without my (admittedly overpriced) Benchmade Taggedout. This being said, we carry very similar tools, yet in a very different form factor ;) Looking forward to your next video! Greetings from Zurich, Switzerland ;)
The kit itself is great, but I also realized proper reflective stickers on an EDC can are actually a great idea, pretty much in the same ballpark as carring a whistle, for walks anyway - if you could attach that can to something you're wearing it would actually be perfect, at elast for me, as I find myself walking along roads when it's not dark enough to need a proper light but dark enough not to trust drivers' reaction time.
Great idea with the bits/screwdrivers. You really don't need a lot of torque with small screws. Actually, the smallest Leatherman flat bits can be used as they are. No holder necessary. The Micra is great for mini kits. As are Knipex.
The guy at SurvivalResources.com lined his box with some unobtanium fabric he'd gotten years ago. So lining it was his idea. I tried Flex Seal but it never really dried and made a mess. I tried covering it with gaffers tape and it sort of worked. Finally I found this stuff on amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09DJQCLWB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Cool to see your thought process. Personally I'd add something like a Victorinox Compact and get rid of 90% of the stuff in the kit, but I'm a minimalist at heart!
I really enjoy this approach. Nothing tactical, all practical! Much more inline with what I'm actually bound to encounter in the course of my day. Great work! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Love this video. Everything has a nice use here too. If you wanted to add more things what you could do is add something like a Victorinox Rambler or a standard SAK which imo has better scissors than the Micra but it also has tweezers inside of it too which could save you some space.
I recomend you to substitute the nail cutter for the one that makes Victorinox. It's smaller and very good. I see that you miss some Allen bits. For the screwdriver I had one exactly the same and I substitute it for a ratchet. I find it easier to use and the size is the same.
It is not a ratchet. Just a basic bit holder. Really useful though. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071CNN9VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fun kit…I would suggest adding a hair tie for each girl in conjunction with the rubber band…necessities!!
that is an excellent idea.
I'm thinking of wrapping them around the Fresnel lens.
@@herrperkins also, a few stickers are worth their weight in gold for upset kids in my experience and are super thin
Great kit and awesome video sir! Thank you for sharing.

Great ideas! The felt alone will keep me sane with my tin, thank you.

Really nice kit! Concise!

Where is your ratchet from?

Why not just carry an ax made for 100 inch trees?
what's the pry bar called?
Pocket wrench II
