- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2023
- E D C stands for every day carry and refers to the essential items that you will carry with you on a daily basis. Its great to be prepared for any situation, and your items seems to be well suited of emergency situations. The Swiss army Fieldmaster is a versatile multi-tool that includes a variety of useful tools such as a large blade, small blade, can opener, bottle opener, scissors, wood saw, and more. the key ring also carries a fire rod, and a small bottle of tinder is an excellent choice for starting fires in emergency situations. the wazoo fire card is a credit card sized survival tool can be used as a fire starter. finally using paper receipts carried in my wallet will also serve as emergency tinder to get a fire going in a survival situation. it's always good to be prepared for the unexpected. thanks for watching.

an edc is a tool set you should have in reach every day
everyday, you forgot the iron and reload Blackie! with the exception of a water bottle i can go for a few days in the woods with just what i carry 24/7 and if i go anywhere near the woods thew battle kit is with me! in the wallet, you might want to add a book of matches sealed up in a small plastic ziplock, a small fishing kit, (i took a business card folded it in half then put some 5 or 6 split shot on it fixed 5 hooks in it and wrapped a 100 feet or so of 10lb line on it) and a couple band aids, your ranger roll, it might be a good idea to throw an old shovel in the trunk with it.
Hey Blackie,
why would you cut a slit into your woobie in an emergency?
When you can cut it beforehand,
at home where you can sew some grosgrain tape to the cut edge to make it last.
Then sew on two buttons with paracord loops instead of buttonholes
to keep the slit closed.

The sak ranger is definitely the best , most versatile edc sak available ... PERIOD .
One of the reasons why it's wayyy better than the field master is the Cork screw ... which can hold tinder to go with the ferro rod which can be bought to replace the tooth pick .
The ranger also has the wood / metal file / hack saw ... which the field master DOES NOT HAVE . ..
Carrying the ranger would remove the need to carry 3 whole items on your key ring .
Leaving room for say... a leatherman squirt , a rovyvon a5 flash light and a mini bic lighter ...??
...
Plus this is supposed to be an EDC video ..and you pull out a truck load of other gear which cannot be carried EVERY DAY ON YOUR PERSON ...at all ...
But I do like the wazoo tinder card ...
My on body edc
Is the ranger , a pair of knipex mini combination pliers, rovyvon a 5 flash light, whirl pak water bag ,mini bic lighter wrapped in waxed jute and gorilla tape, compass , mini fishing kit , 50 ft of number 12 bank line , 6 water purification tablets, small first aid kit ,
Chocolate bar , ....
I'm about to turn 56 . Ever since I was a kid growing up in extreme rural Arizona , my dad always made me carry a pocket knife and a Bic Lighter . Before the Bics came out it was a BSA match container full of matches . Since the 70s I've drastically expanded what I carry on me every day .
yep carry fire every where
Outstanding video! Here`s my bare minimum for fall Edc in Penna: Field Master, two bic lighters,one heavy duty garbage bag, a large zip lock bag and an Altioid can with tea candles.
So with this stuff you can turn the garbage bag into a poncho and, if need be, light the candles under your makeshift poncho. The candles will generate an amazing amount of heat. The zip lock bag will hold water for drinking. I Carry this gear in a very small kit bag. OH I almost forgot-- I have one of the lighters wrapped with cord ,the other with duct tape. I do have a ten c kit, but what we have here is the bare minimum. What is the old saying? " If you want to survive, stay warm and hydrated. "
good stuff
I was taught this was a necessity back in the 90s when I moved to California and worked on mountain tops. All of the roads were 4x4 goat trails and many many miles long. Also when there was traffic jams I have been stuck for 8 hrs at a time without a exit. I was taught this by a old county worker that lived in the desert and lived through many earth quakes while working on mountains. I always had extra socks and a pair of hiking boots as well in my jeep.
yep out there your always waiting for the next earthquake to change the world around you
My layer zero is a pocket knife - usually from the Victorinox family or a Buck 110, a Schrade "tactical" pen (can double as marlin spike), my wallet which also contains some receipts and a ferro rod on my keychain. I also carry at least one space blanket. The layer 1 has the ranger roll, a couple of blankets, an unhooking mat which doubles a waterproof layer to sit on, some extra water and spare fuel.
Consumeables like water and food kind of go in layer 0.5 as does a cook set in a cup.
nice set up
@@blackoracle69 Thanks. You can claim some credit for it. The ranger roll is inspired by one of your videos.
About 2 days after my ex-husband gave me my Pioneer, (which he brought home from the Army shop for R3.75), our umpteenth can opener went belly up. So I used the can opener on the SAK. Never bought a replacement. Never looked back. I've had this knife since 1987. Must confess I HAVE been eying the Huntsman lately...
Great video. I used to teach classes on winter survival at a local high school. I live in upstate New York in what’s considered the snow belt where we’re constantly receiving Lake Affect snow storms besides the ordinary snow storms. The area is not heavily populated and the possibility of being stuck in your vehicle for hours or even a day or two. I encouraged the students to never travel without some EDC items in their vehicle and to encourage their parents to travel prepared through the Winter months. Just like you stated in your video I explained how to utilize the resources in the vehicle like seat covers, store receipts, tires, etc., anything to aid them from freezing to death.
Again, thanks
i agree soon i will be doing a winter edc for my person and my car to be better prepared for cold temps
I carry a get-home-bag in my car. It is cheaper army surplus and thrift store items in case of theft. I also carry a change of clothes and boots plus socks. I don't intend to carry the clothing but if SHTF while I am wearing a suit or lightly dressed at a beach or shopping mall etc, I can change to clothes and foot wear appropriate for a long walk home.
Hi Blackie, on my keychain I carry a Victorinox Rambler, and in my back pocket, or sometimes in a Zermatt leather sheath, I carry a Victorinox Craftsman as well. It’s a discontinued model, very similar to the field master you carry. Also on my keychain I have a tiny little pill fob, just precisely for two aspirin… they say that taking an aspirin within an hour after a heart attack will double your chances of survival, so, being as I’m in my 60’s, I figured an ounce of preparation…. Lastly, the other thing I keep on my keychain, other than keys and car fob, is a tiny flashlight. This is one of those ones that uses a coin-sized battery, so it really is small, but it gives me just that little extra light I need if I’m under my desk, trying to read the code on my network connection at work for the IT guy or something like that. That’s not 100% of my EDC, but it is pretty close, oh, and like you, I’ve my keychain on a bit of paradors, clipped to my pants, so it wouldn’t separate from me in a car accident. I have been upside down in a truck before and you know, seat belts don’t release easy when your weight it is hanging on them, which is exactly when you may need a pocket knife to cut your way out before that gasoline you are smelling gets to igniting! Been there, done that.
good stuff thanks for the comment
Important information here on this one. Thinking about these layers prompts us to be better prepared for the “unanticipated situations” that could arise. Thanks. - Tennessee Smoky
Well said!
We think alike! Cheaper/older survival gear in the car, but I'm in the city so my zero EDC is a bit more city oriented:
On me: small pocket knife, flashlight, wallet, keys, memory stick and cellphone at all times
EDC bag: mini fire kit (note to self: add some fatwood), battery brick and USB cables, Mora companion, snack bar, nail clippers tissues, Band-Aids and water bottle (and more)
I keep some bins next to the front door with all the interchangeable gear I might need (kangaroo, poncho, tarps, bug repellent, first aid kit, etc, etc, etc) so all I have to do is look and grab what I need and barely ever forget anything. Backpack collection is hung in the same area, ready to be filled.
@@maxpinson5002 Yes, most of us call that Fatwood. Allright, getting a piece now and putting it in my EDC bag, thanks for the final push :-)
good stuff
In my right pocket is SAK Huntsman, Bic lighter with duct tape and 2 feet of jute twine, 6’ hank of paracord all attached to a small carabiner and wrapped in a bandana.
It lacks an easy shelter and cup, but 50% chance I refilled a small single wall water bottle vs a 500ml plastic one. And cans are fairly common on the roadside unfortunately. Including the aluminum beer bottles.
My thought is that lvl 0 should cover you overnight to 36 hours. But always dress appropriately as that is always your base shelter.
good stuff
My EDC Ruger LCP 380 and extra clip, SOG Xl knife, Craftsman Swiss Army knife, two Bic lighters:one large and one small, magnesium credit card, Tiny Survival Card, Fenix AAA flashlight, two cloth handkerchiefs, backup battery for cell phone, cell phone. I have a n nylon flight jacket with lots of pockets and more stuff in them.
Phenomenal video brother 💯 Percent!!
Appreciate it!
Very useful advice on EDC. Gonna have to work on mine!
safe journeys
I like the way you think,Blackie!!!!!! Love the content!!!! Keep it coming!!!❤😎😉💪👍✌️🤝😁
I appreciate that
Thank you Blackie I really enjoy your videos.
thanks for watcvhing
EDC Is a spare key in my wallet for every vehicle I own. Keys accidentally Locked in the vehicle and spare key is the simplest EDC. Believe me a spare key in my wallet has saved me a lot of inconvenience several times. Since 1985.
My current EDC is a Case 6375 stockman in a Med Job belt sheath and one of those tiny Altoid Smalls tin's lined with wax paper and filled with wooden strike on box matches with the striker glued under the top lid in that little zippo pocket on my jeans.
I stuff a Star BM 9mm under my wallet, in the other pocket I stuff a 2.5 inch fixed blade knife with whatever else ends up there. My phone, keys whatever. In vehicles only first aid and water. Not real survival oriented, but your videos always open my mind up to versatility.
oh man i have had a few of the star bm9mm and they are great daily carries
Thanks for the video a lot of good ideas, the truck story,
No problem 👍
Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia, thank you for your time to make these videos. I enjoyed this one excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it
I used to tell my s and r ppl every 100 yrds there new resources tires .bike tubes .dumps .tinder you name it always think ahead
always plan ahead
Would like to say I have some super woodsmans/tactical EDC pouch, use an old pencil case as a combination stuff sack/first aid kit. It's about the size of the smaller British Army mess tin. Like you said it doesn't attract attention if the vehicle is broken in to. There's a Victorinox Camper and a cheaper Barlow in there at present. Have a smaller, lighter, cheaper fishing poncho there because I'd be gutted if I lost my Dutch army poncho!
very cool
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks for the visit
Great ideas! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful 👍
Thank you 😊
After shipping, that Wazoo Fire Card is $16!. Man! Gotta pass on that suggestion, Blackie. 🇺🇸
try looking for guitar picks instead made out of same stuff
@@blackoracle69 Will do. Great idea. Thanks, Blackie!
thin type guitar picks are what dad used as he wore em on gigs for fire starter
Great tips, Blackie, I was looking to update and upgrade my edc gear, and possibly minimize some. God bless you and your family.
thanks for watching
I travel light when I'm just going about my daily life running errands in town and the like. I generally only have a knife and a small AAA flashlight in my pocket and sometimes a Fisher bullet pen. I've got receipts, business cards, even cash in my wallet that I can write on if need be. I have kits in both vehicles with all the other stuff you mentioned as well as some basic vehicle maintenance tools for changing belts, adding oil, fixing flat tires and reinflating, and I have small lithium jumper batteries for jump starting. They're so much more compact and convenient that jumper cables, plus you don't have to find someone that'll jump you from their car. Oh, and I have small shovels in both vehicles as well as a roll of toilet paper and a box of Kleenex. I also grab a handful of napkins when I stop at convenience stores and we take any extra napkins that we didn't use at restaurants and keep those in the cars.
Well said brother! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Need more like Ya!
Great story about your father. Thank you.
My EDC is a 26 ltr Condor pack @ 35 lbs with the 10 C's, ammo and food. I never leave home without it.
In my pockets,,, Knife, multi tool, cordage, Fire and a small flashlight.
good set
great video
Thanks for the visit
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing, God bless !
same to you
Too bad you don't tell it like it is. Ha Ha just kidding. This video is one of the best emergency survival videos I have ever seen. Everyone needs too see this. I carry a victronix knife system and tarps in my car just for that reason. I live way down south so no snow but it still gets cold. Great Video Blackie.
THANKS FOR WATCHING
Tinder and ferro rod in addition to a couple of lighters presumably. Thanks for sharing your experience and kit Blackie.
Thanks for watching!
Very good vid Blackie. I agree with what your dad told them. The truck is replaceable, I am not.. stay safe out there.
safe journeys
Awesome Video 📹 Blackie always love those tips..
glad to do it
Thanks.
You're welcome
goedenavond Blackie 👍
thank you for watching
Hello- Looks like you got everything covered which is just as important when traveling on the road.
thanks
Thank you !
my pleasure
EDC lvl 1 always on me. A case made by tknives, a bic lighter, 10 ft of line for cordage, a one battery, L shape flash light. A aluminum water tight tube. (For medicine for 24 hrs. A Leatherman signal and a key ring of smalls. P51, whistle, 3 medium diaper pens, small toe nail clipper. Magnesium rod, and a small tank I have zippo lighter fuel in for wet or ruff wind. Finally on the back, a number 10 needle I would send you a picture of you like.
sounds like a good set up
@@blackoracle69 and because of you. In my wallet, I carry 2' of aluminum foil.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for watching
Always appreciate. Thanks maaan. 👍😁
No problem 👍
Great advice, Blackie. That's something I should start doing. I usually only have a knife and lighter on me.👍
add a few things to give you more resources in time of need
Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas. Outstanding video 👍 👍 and amen to sacrificing whatever needs to be to get back home
Blackie, Excellent work pulling it all together towards the end.
thank you
My edc is also a SAK, with a Bic lighter. I also carry a fresnel lens in my wallet.
good set
Survival tips in your every day in your life
thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great Stuff! Ive finally found something that is 99% completed! People make fun of me because of my EDC stuff i carry. But guess who they are asking for a favor when they need something... Thanks Blackie! Keep up the great work!
Cool, thanks!
I agree with you on all the points you brought up
thanks for watching
I like this ! 👍 Thank's Blackie ! 😀
Glad you like it
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi Blacckie , greeting from Australia , thank you for your time to make this video, great video, thank you.
My pleasure!
I carry a Victorinox Huntsman in my pocket everyday along with a second pocketknife that’s a little quicker to deploy. I will not leave the house without them.
they are great edc knives
Wow - never heard of the FireCard - thanks.
i got mine at a event and i like it
Well, for my 1st layer, it’s pretty simple.
1) Some kind of knife, usually some type of SAK
2) Key chain with keys, small flashlight, Incharge charging cable and one of my dog tags so if I’m incapacitated, for some reason, they know who I am and my blood type.
3) Wallet with several bandaid’s and a folded up piece of printer paper to write on, if need be.
4) Small fanny pack with needed personal medical supplies and a small battery pack to charge my phone.
5) Simple handkerchief.
I’be worked in many different career fields over the years and have never carried a lighter in my on person carry.
I think, sometimes, people overthink EDC. Carry what you need and need what you carry.
I thi
sounds good
Great video 👍 I love my Victorinox . I like a good set of toe nail clippers, too. They can trim fingernails, cut strings, and are great for cutting zip ties.
yep they are a real help when a nail splits into the quick
Can't the SAK scissors cut nails?
@@randybeeson3424 not efficiently as clippers. And I doubt it can cut toe nails well. I know first-hand that it doesn't do zip ties as well
@@johnthomasjr262 I always carry clippers hiking and in my other bags but not in my pocket for EDC.
@@randybeeson3424 He covered the vehicle aspect. I keep them handy, but not necessarily in my pocket. I am typing from my vehicle, and I have an AR15, glock 19, and a Remington 1187 within arms reach. I call that handy. The clippers are just as close. Not everything EDC is a pocket dump. A pocket dump for me will produce a glock 19 or 43x, depending on the days agenda. It will also produce a SAK with the firefly fero rod in it. It will produce a bic lighter inside an Exotac fire sleeve and my wallet containing a fresnel lens and tinder.
I own a SAK Huntsman with a mini ferro and tinder inside the corkscrew (FireAnt +Helix tinder). Now, you have a complete survival knife. The corkscrew is multifunctional. If you screw the corkscrew to a long pole and flick open the long knife you got a weapon and a spear to dispatch a trapped animal.. I think the corkscrew is underestimate.
good idea on makeing spear
Untill the that little fero rod snaps 🥴 ask me how i know 😅
How about a fresnel lens tucked in beside that wazoo card to help those old eyes see that splinter? ;)
Also good ignition source.
Cheers 🇨🇦
they are a good free fire source in bright sun
DOOD!
DUDE!!!
In my truck, i use some clutter to make my gear less exposed, Extended cab pick up truck, basically all my gear is in the extended cab or in the bed. I never lock my doors. The point is i reckon, and not a great idea, i allow certain these weak areas because i know how to counter such things
get a bright colored laundry bag put your gear inside of it then cinch it up leave some old towel or bath rug kinda sticking out at the top ..put it behind the seat ....pin a note that can be seen and read from outside the truck.. in big angry letters write "" your god d*mn dog pissed on it your gonna fi**king wash it then!! do you know anybody gonna break in to look in that bag?
ty for the laugh. Good idea. My truck does already have little dog piss smell.
@@blackoracle69
I would add a pistol, cash, and a gold chain for EM bartering. throw about 5 bic lighters in the truck. Plus I put a lighter and a folding spyderco etc. one in EVERY coat pocket I own no matter what. Take down .22 or single shot break open in the truck when I can. And EM meds too.
good idea
I have a daily carry, but work from home so many of these are less necessary.
i can see that
Most SAK that have the corkscrew or similar attachment, will have a hole where you can store a pin.
good to know
Blackie, why is cordage and a lighter not part of your EDC?
I also carry a fresnel lens, credit card size in my wallet
those work well
If I had to pick one traditional slip joint knife it would have to be the 3 blade stockman
good choice
Thank you
I recommend having wallet fresnel lens
good advice
My bad I forgot the lanyard on your SAK.
I use an old Victorinox Champion just for the magnifying glass, eyes not good up close.
those are good edc knives
@@blackoracle69 I usually wear loose BDU style shorts & hang it from a lanyard (copy of yours). Really cant tell it’s there. Good advice from you as always Blackie
For the same price of a wazoo card ( not including tax and shipping) you can get 100 guitar picks that do the same as a wazoo card. I did a video on it
good deal
Forgive me for asking in this thread, where can I purchase the black hawk and blackbird items from?
email me at downndirtywoodscraft@gmail.com and i will add you to the list for the next run
and will email you when the run is going to begin so you can pay and lock yours down
No handgun or small fixed blade self-defense knife?
Do you really need to cut a hole in the woombie? Could not you leave it intact, doubled up on the side of your body facing into the wind?
i do leave it intact but if i had to wear the poncho with the woobie as a great coat to walk out in icy cold rain i would cut it then on the spot to make it work as a great coat
I can’t find a Field master with a pen. Do you have a link? Thanks
mine is from 2015 it cam from smokey mountain knife works
You can change the scales there is a kit that adds pen
Figured you'd have a fresnel lense in your wallet as well.
i have a few in other kits but not my wallet
As if anyone from the EPA watches this.
so what do you call the pic of the black pouch? I call it clickbait 🤨
well i have that pic and it fit the idea lol
@@blackoracle69 welli I thought we were going to get a video about an edc contained in the pouch.
Blackie how many concrete City I came I still ride I carry my kukri okay my Buck 110 I popsicle sticks and I Canton Cooks at all so I carry protein bars or candy bars other food that I can carry but there's one thing I can't do and that's to find a going to an abandoned house until I can find a way getting someplace Lego police station police officer going down the road but I will find out sooner or later
stay safe
Thanks for posting, brother. That's a lot of good information to consider.
Glad it was helpful!
