I don't like to carry much in my pockets out in the woods. Due to the fact that I stay there for at least a few hours most of my stuff goes into a haversack or small bsckpack
@@AlexWander okay, a belt knife, sak and fire steel is in my pants pockets but at one point I will sit down comfortably and have a cup of coffee or so. That's why I always carry more than just the bare minimum. And the chance of getting lost is literally zero because I know where I am and at least my wife knows too. And it's not far away from home. I could walk back home if I had to so I don't need all that emergency survival stuff. More than a first aid kit is not necessary
Very good video. I found some small pocket clips that are about one inch (2.5 cm). They attach easily to the loop on the Swiss Army Knife. That keeps your SAK riding higher in your pocket and makes it much more pleasant to carry. I attached another of the clips to a single cell AAA battery flashlight. That light gets cliped in the pants' leg of cargo pants or shorts if I'm wearing cargo style pants. I always have a single blade folding knife in my support hand pocket. The SAK in my other pocket, or a multitool on my belt, plus a pistol. The SAK has the small ferro rod that replaces the toothpick, plus a very sharp, heavy-duty pin in the hole under the awl. The pin is great for digging out thorns and splinters. If I have a fanny pack on, I'll usually have a headlamp with a red light option, a water bottle, compass, ferro rod, lighter, and an emergency poncho. I just got folding cushion made for sitting on. When folded, it is about the size of two deck of playing cards. It unfolds to provide you a dry place to sit, and they only weigh a couple of ounces. I often hunt feral pigs at night on private land I lease to hunt. Even though I know it pretty well, it's very easy to get turned around in the dark while in thick brush. So, I started carrying a compass in my pocket in addition to my phone. Sometimes, the thick woods affect cell reception. I will probably also start carrying a tourniquet and some kind of first aid bandages. Clear eye protection is very handy to have when in thick brush after dark. And bug repellant. I carry the Tinker Swiss Army Knife around town, and the Hiker in the woods. I like the Phillips head screw driver they both have, and their very light weight compared to many SAKs. If I expect to need more tools, I carry a Leatherman in a pouch as I hate having my pockets crammed with gear. I have more tools such as an ax and saw in a nearby vehicle if I'm at the hunting property. I'm also not normally building anything or making noise when I'm hunting. If I carry a pack then I have a lot more with me, but that's outside the discussion for this video.
I carry bank line too. Multi multi use. I have used it to sew, amd stitch, handle wrap, tarp lines, taps, fishing, braid 3 large strands and is strong enough to hang a deer for cleaning, trip lines for camp security, lanyards, resource binding for easy movement, A wierd thing i bring is the legs of panty hose. Coffee Filter, herb container, eel hook, if needed you can slide them on your arms for more clothing.
This is the second or third video of yours that I’ve watched. I am beyond impressed. Anyone could carry everything you mentioned in this video. My family always thinks I’m crazy with what I carry on me and or in the car. I can’t tell you how many times that either I needed something and had it or a family member needed something and I had it. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Keep up the great work.
Carrying stuff and not need it is way better that needing stuff and don’t have , you are doing the right way and the people around you will understand! Thank you for your words and your sharing !🔥🙏🏻
That looks like a great minimalist setup but also a good starting point for a get home bag! I really like the survival blanket since it seems more versatile than a poncho or emergency bivy bag.
Cordage, pocket knife, kukri knife. Lighter, bivvy mess tin and empty bag rolled up. Most of which fits into mess tin with a few first aid supplies, tourniquet and pressure bandage. If im going for a couple days then ill add my uktralight hammock. And my dog.
Great stuff again! Enjoyed the adapting Leatherman and magnet light. In addition to seasonal appropriate clothing, I typically carry a fixed blade, tinder, small hook and braided line, compass, matches, more tinder, firearm and backpack.
Excellent advice and one of the best EDC videos I’ve seen, understand what and using your gear in multiple scenarios is very important; thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help us learn more.
I always carry a Leatherman. It’s got scissors and pliers. I have a smaller Fenix flashlight. It doesn’t have the magnet so I bought a little button magnet and epoxy’d it to the bottom. I also carry a fixed blade most of the time. I carry a bic lighter with gorilla tape. The riv pick from covert instruments and a tension tool. A glass breaker rescue bracelet and a paracord Prusik bracelet that I’ve used to tie many things to other things. I carry about 2.5 yards of Kevlar cord and a small sewing kit. A bit extensive but mostly small things. I’ll definitely start carrying a firearm when I can and I should probably add a handcuff key. Whenever I’m going somewhere like the library or anything where I’ll need to use a computer I also use a boot drive with Tails OS.
Great setup! Have you heard of the FireAnt kits for SAK? It has a tinder for your corkscrew and you can swap the knife scales out so it can fit a mini flint in the knife handle. There’s lots you can customise on a Victorinox SAK. I highly recommend Felix Immler’s channel for all SAK custom related hacks and skills. Man’s a genius! Thanks for the awesome content and please keep it coming!
@@AlexWander no worries at all! You’re one of my new favourite channels! You have great experience, superb filming and photography and do stuff differently to other channels. I’m looking forward to your Gorilla Tape video next! Gonna watch it over breakfast before a trip to the scrapyard and then off to the woods with my daughter to teach her some bushcraft skills.
@KernowEDC thanks so much for your words , they mean a lot to me! Keep writing the script about the gorilla tape video part 2 🔥🔥🔥 enjoy your time with your daughter!
Good show. It's about time someone showed a practical list of minimal gear list for the wilderness. I would have added a breathable heat reflective bivy as well. What ever you put in cargo pants reduces the circumference at your thighs which creates friction reducing your speed of walking and running. Additionally, sharp and blunt objects in the cargo pant pockets are metally irritating reducing the ability to concentrate or have a clear mind to perform tasks. The only thing I carry in my pants pockets is a paper towel to remove sweat or to blow my nose - no factor in limiting my speed or my ability to concetrate. Carrying your minimalist gear on your belt will improve your walking performance. My DIY primary survival device is a 2 inch x 3 inch substrate with a retaractable whistle, a container with water purification tablets & a compass on the container lid, a removable 650 lumen flashlight, another container with tinder, a ferrocerium rod epoxied on one side and a diamond knife/hook sharpener on another side. The substrate is a survival mirror. I have a removable lanyard attached to hang on my neck. Additionally, I have a Boker folding knife, a Victorinox device and a freznel lens attached on the mirror side. Beyond that, my water is mounted at my spine in a DIY hyration sack with webbing over my shoulder and around my chest with buckle at my solar plexus. My Mora knife mounted to my belt horizontally and a DIY 2 blade saw device is in a modified toothpaste container mounted horizontally on my belt so that they don't interfere with my hip or thigh for me to concentrate on my purpose. Beyond that is a whole other story.
Thank you for your words! Glad you enjoyed the video! I agree with what you said, but in my humble experience i noticed that well designed pants reduces frictions on your skin because how the each pockets are angled and placed, i also tend to buy them slightly oversized in order to keep more space between my skin and the pants.Thanks to have shared your point of view and experience! Truly Honored!🙏
@Cale_Davison The survival mirror is the substrate. Boker folding knife, Victorinox device & fresnel lens sit on mirror side. I forgot to mention roughly 70 ft of Kevlar, 200 test lb strength cord banded over items on device back side used for hanging my 4.05 ounce or my 4.7 ounce DIY Dyneema floorless tents and other functions
Awesome! I always have a folding knife and a lighter on me but don't wander into a forest or the desert (closer to me) without water on me. So taking water usually means a pack and my packs have many layers of elements for survival yet minimalistic as possible. Good short video!
You and I have thought about this waaaaay too much my friend lol. I wear a Helikon Pilgrim smock, in the pockets I have 7m of survival paracord (it strips apart to give me fishing line, tinder, snare wire), a Ranger 55 SAK, whistle on zip pull, leather gloves, a milar bivvy bag that can be cut down, small magnetic based olight torch and spare 18650 battery, gorilla tape around a windproof lighter, wool hat, two 560ml flat water bottles in the chest pockets, compass in my left outer chest button pocket. Shemagh around my neck. In my small day pack on a pouch on the front is my poncho and Grayl filter with pathfinder nesting pot and lid. Israeli bandage and tourniquet in my left cargo pocket on my pants. The smock spreads the weight until I rarely notice it. The rest of my day pack contains basics for the day, packed lunch, etc. Good video sir. 🏴
Dude your a knowledge wellspring, thank you so much for making these, youve practically made my life better, keep making these your literally a master.
I really love this approach and way of thinking to always have at least some of your gear/edc with you.. even if you just go out for a relaxing walk in the woods, etc. But it's also so strange to me how many people that I know find that "weird" and see me as some kind of doomsday-prepper or what not. As you said very well, it's not about paranoia, it's about being prepared. And I always rather take gear with me and not need it, than need and not have it with me... I usually carry (in a sling bag) phone, wallet, keys, a folding knife, small multitool, emergency blanket, a small "boo-boo" pack with band-aids, some ibuprofen etc. Should probably add a tourniquet and maybe some paracord. But yeah, that's about it! Anyways, great video as always! Keep them coming! 💪
Minimum is a small backpack or haversack. When I'm in the woods I stay there for at least a few hours and want to be able to sit down comfortably to brew a coffee or so
Yes they are ! A good alternative could be the Fjällräven Viddanpro pants or I have 2 pair of pants since 14 years which are 5.11 tac light pants , they are the cheapest but they are still going strong!
Hi Alex. Some good ieas on kit but I always carry some elastoplasts/band aids/hansaplasts in addition to the main medic kit as most of the injuries I have had are small. Stay safe and thank you for sharing. ATB. Nigel
Just wanted to experiment a bit so sometimes I leaves pieces such as the ferro rod at home so I can try out different ways. thanks man I'm glad you enjoed the video !
Pocket carry is the most important because you're not going to take your clothing off as you would a bag or pack etc. when you stop for a break or make a camp. When you move around, your items are always at hand. Thanks for the video
My EDC start's with a compass Pancho two fixed blade knife, a Leatherman and victronox. in my belt are a 16 inch hack song and Wood crosscut blade. 3 mac and cheese 3 ramen noodles 1/2 lb beef jerky 6 instant oatmeal 12 packs of instant coffee a 2 qt canteen a 1 qt wide mouth stainless steel bottle hate to quart water bag was a life straw.😅
I definitely incorporate items on my person. under a patch on my hat I keep a magnetized needle, a button compass, a ferro rod bead, and a razor blade. On my wrist is a Suunto m9 wrist compass and other wrist has a Garmin watch. on waist is a 3.5" fixed blade, AAA flashlight, ferro rod, and leatherman. In wallet is a diamond sharpening card, mylar signal card, moleskin for blisters, and a fresnel magnifying card. On boots I have 4' extra kevlar cord, and 4' paracord. I carry about 2' kevlar cord with a small neck knife.
My first line kit varies on the environment as I'm in the Cascade mountains. Things I always have are multi tool, Paracord, Same lighter set up as in video, canteen/cup, phone, usually a belt knife. It's always wet here so poncho or jacket is always on regardless. Items for the deep woods/mountains are the same/more robust and a firearm due to bears and mountain lions. A backpack is for if I go out longer than an hour or two or four any distance
Although I’m way too old, I still study this! I day hiked a lot when I was 17. I carried Mail. Now THAT is survival! Anyway, no suggestions. No list. Thanks for the video!
Nice video..I always bring ziplock bag for collecting tinder, a couple of small plastic bags for putting trash and electronics and a disposable poncho. Its compact and weights nothing..
Always carry a folded knife in my pocket and a fixed blade in my backpack with water, purification tablets in my bag, and Flintstone as well magnesium andferrocium
I always (forest or going to the shops) carry a watch, phone, lighter, key ring torch and a Victorinox (Fieldmaster or Explorer). Also a paracord bracelet and a hat.
For a couple of hours I prefer a small backpack. I don't wear cargo pants. Plastic water bottles, raincover, snack, first aid, SAK and basic Survival-box. In my area there ist not really wilderness. I like survival and outdoor gear, but i want to be realistic. weight loss it's a big point vor me. Greetings from Germany 🤜 🤛
I carry a fix blade and tourniquet in a field sharpener. I’m working on a bag to carry taking a lot of your ideas. I appreciate your instruction. I got that Tasmanian tiger 30 L bag. Those boots that you recommended are very comfortable nice and lightweight. Can’t remember exactly what else but I’m working on it. Oh yeah, I got an IFA bag for medical.
Another great video! I never really go off trail without my edc/get home bag, but my pocket edc is pretty useful. Bag needs some tweeking here and there but with it I think I have the majority of what I need to get to safety or home on foot if needed. plan is to put my theory to the test over a 72 hour period. Need some spine operations so the trips on hold atm! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I always have my Victorinox Huntsman with me. When I go to our urban forest, I take my Super Tool 300 with me. Into the next larger forest, which is a few kilometers further away, I take a daypack with water, a rescue blanket, first aid, something to snack on, a fixed knife and, if I want to look for fatwood, a small saw, some Paracord and my survival kit. 👋👍😄
I wish Amazon had an option to generate global affiliate links that work with all countries - I had to manually search for the bank line in my local Canadian storefront which removes your commission
I have a tool roll with head lamp and hand lamp, opinel 12 saw, opinel n10 2 baterr for lamps, pencil, bendits, pliers, lighter and emergency blanket. Small tool roll edc
I actually don't know I saw pepper sprays on sale even in the supermarket lately but I don't know if we can carry one , i will dig deeper into it, thanks for the hint!
Carinthia Pro Combat trousers, great pants but expensively, I also love Fjällräve’s Vidda pro pants , less expensive, but honestly I have a couple of 5.11 tac lite pants that after 14 years are still going strong 💪
What brand and type of cargo pants are those? I've been trying to find pants like that with pockets down by the ankles. Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Derek
These are Carinthia Pro Combat trousers, quite expensive, if you look for something cheaper but goo, there're some similar pants with the same pockets at the ankle , Helikon Tx is the brand. Hope it helps!
Kinfe shaper with ferro rod, the 20 dollar emergency tent "works like the blanket small" h20go global water purifier. "Which gives you unlimited purifier water source." And pack of thoes food tablets all in a small bag I keep in the car, take it when I going away from the car for awhile, water, food shelter, right? Everything I need to get by if needed. Lol
Quality videos: you deserve to succeed. I carry almost the same as you. My differences: I don't carry a tourniquet unless I have a bag, although I'm going to get some RAT's & see what I think. In my pockets I have in addition 4 bin bags, a mosquito head net and a pair of tights. I will normally carry one more item of clothing than I'm wearing. See "EDC for Survival" for the full account: (TH-cam will not allow a link, but search "What Do I No", then select "Practical".
@@AlexWander let me say that i’m just thankful to yt algorithm for showing your channel. Only thing that I’m afraid that someday you will stop making vids/ start to advertise bad products. Because now your vids are PERFRCT i hope it’ll never change. As a fellow european i’m very happy that you create Great and valueble videos. Can’t wait for next one
@oskarmiklaszewski6421 thanks so much for your meaningful words, I will always show products that I really used and tested and that I’ve decided to add to my set ups. Most of all I want to keep sharing knowledge and experiences where the gear is involved 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@AlexWander and bless you for that. You are literally only youtuber that i comment because I just want to feed the algorytm to show more people a hidden gem that is your Channel
@@AlexWander je me demandais, si vous organisiez des rencontres ou des formations, en stage individuel ou petits groupes. Ou bien si vous envisagez de le faire dans le futur.
@@AlexWanderje vous trouve différent, personnellement je pense qu’il est impossible de survivre dans la nature, j’y passe la majorité de mon temps libre depuis mon adolescence avec le matériel nécessaire et la condition physique nécessaire, mais je ne donne pourtant que quelques semaines à un humain compétent et équipé, dans une situation de stress ou d’effondrement, à moins qu’il ne tire un trait sur sa santé mentale et devienne sauvage, du même basculement psychologique qu’un détenu de longue peine aurait du mal à réintégrer la vie sociale. Ainsi j’aimerais bien rencontrer des gens compétents pour partager ces idées sur le mental et la psychologie, car je vois bien que derrière le survivalisme, les idées autonomistes, il y a une ingénierie sociale à l’œuvre, selon les bonnes vieilles méthodes de la société du spectacle, et que c’est même du pain béni pour les ingénieurs de l’ordo ab chaos, qui ne cherchent qu’à faire consommer des gens solitaires et desocialisés, et ne leur feront pas le plaisir de faire un collapse où il aurait l’occasion de se servir de ce beau sac d’évacuation pour aller gratter son firerod dans les forêts. Excusez-moi pour ce long message. J’aimerais, vraiment, avoir votre avis personnel, je reconnais en vous quelqu’un de méticuleux et réfléchi, certainement sage aussi sur les limites humaines réelles, mentales et physiques.
@@AlexWander bella zona non ci sono passato mai a piedi sempre in moto, stando a nord est, ci devo fare un pensiero. bei video ti seguo, iscritto canale molto curato.

What do you carry in your pockets while you go for a stroll in the woods? Do you always carry your backpack with you?
I don't like to carry much in my pockets out in the woods. Due to the fact that I stay there for at least a few hours most of my stuff goes into a haversack or small bsckpack
My minimum i have always with me is my Knife, Firesteel and Paracord.

Great video with innovative practical ideas. I like that knife-in-the-tree idea to use a magnetic light👍🏻😜
Glad you liked it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another good short vid, Alex.
May I ask what cargo pants you are wearing please? I like the look of them. I do like a pocket! 😊
Thanks so much!!! They are Carinthia Pro Combat Trousers 🤙
@@AlexWander They look great. I shall put them on my Wanted List. Thank you.
@@AlexWander Oooh, just looked at them online £££ 😮😁
Yes they are ! A good alternative could be the Fjällräven Viddanpro pants or I have 2 pair of pants since 14 years which are 5.11 tac light pants , they are the cheapest but they are still going strong!
@@AlexWander I took a look at the 5.11’s you mentioned. They are pretty good aren’t they 😉👍🏼
Hi Alex. Some good ieas on kit but I always carry some elastoplasts/band aids/hansaplasts in addition to the main medic kit as most of the injuries I have had are small. Stay safe and thank you for sharing. ATB. Nigel
Thanks so much for sharing my Friend Nigel! Stay safe too! 🔥🔥🔥
I’m surprised you didn’t have a fire steel. Enjoyed the video👍
Just wanted to experiment a bit so sometimes I leaves pieces such as the ferro rod at home so I can try out different ways. thanks man I'm glad you enjoed the video !
Good video, no nonsense, thanks.
Truly honored, thank you!
Pocket carry is the most important because you're not
going to take your clothing
off as you would a bag or
pack etc. when you stop for
a break or make a camp.
When you move around, your
items are always at hand.
Thanks for the video
I couldn’t agree with you more! Thanks so much!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
SAK, flashlight, folder or fixed blade, small ferro rod, Bic mini, stainless water bottle. More in a sling bag.
Smart Set up, thanks for sharing!!!🔥
My EDC start's with a compass Pancho two fixed blade knife, a Leatherman and victronox. in my belt are a 16 inch hack song and Wood crosscut blade. 3 mac and cheese 3 ramen noodles 1/2 lb beef jerky 6 instant oatmeal 12 packs of instant coffee a 2 qt canteen a 1 qt wide mouth stainless steel bottle hate to quart water bag was a life straw.😅
I also prefer to have maps of the area if possible forestry service maps and a notebook for navigation. And a good walking stick.😄
What EDC 😁 You will never starve for sure !
Like your video, keep it coming.
Thanks so much!!!
Nice as always 👌🏻
Thank you! Cheers!🙏
I definitely incorporate items on my person. under a patch on my hat I keep a magnetized needle, a button compass, a ferro rod bead, and a razor blade.
On my wrist is a Suunto m9 wrist compass and other wrist has a Garmin watch.
on waist is a 3.5" fixed blade, AAA flashlight, ferro rod, and leatherman.
In wallet is a diamond sharpening card, mylar signal card, moleskin for blisters, and a fresnel magnifying card.
On boots I have 4' extra kevlar cord, and 4' paracord. I carry about 2' kevlar cord with a small neck knife.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend! Definitely a smart kit you are carrying! Take care ! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏻
My first line kit varies on the environment as I'm in the Cascade mountains. Things I always have are multi tool, Paracord, Same lighter set up as in video, canteen/cup, phone, usually a belt knife. It's always wet here so poncho or jacket is always on regardless.
Items for the deep woods/mountains are the same/more robust and a firearm due to bears and mountain lions. A backpack is for if I go out longer than an hour or two or four any distance
Although I’m way too old, I still study this!
I day hiked a lot when I was 17.
I carried Mail. Now THAT is survival!
Anyway, no suggestions. No list.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for your words , so glad to be useful! By the way we are never to old 🙏🏻
Dude,your video's are really great quality ❤I hope you keep growing followers 😊
Thanks so much!!! The more I grow the more value I’m going to put in my videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice video..I always bring ziplock bag for collecting tinder, a couple of small plastic bags for putting trash and electronics and a disposable poncho. Its compact and weights nothing..
Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻
Beautifully said and prepared.. NOT scared!!!✊️🔥✌️💚
Thank you!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice video and I like your pants,super wide pockets under knee. I am more a knife guy but I’m will change to a multitool for more options. Thanks
Thanks! I’m a knife guy too, I just find that is good experiement sometimes 🙏🏻
bello il video, condividere la propria esperienza è sempre utile
Credo che la condivisione sia molto più importante e utile dell’indottrinamento, sono felice di condividere quel poco che so . Grazie per Il Supporto!
Always carry a folded knife in my pocket and a fixed blade in my backpack with water, purification tablets in my bag, and Flintstone as well magnesium andferrocium
Thanks for sharing man! 🤙🏻🙏🏻
I always (forest or going to the shops) carry a watch, phone, lighter, key ring torch and a Victorinox (Fieldmaster or Explorer). Also a paracord bracelet and a hat.
Thanks for sharing!!!🤙🏻
Neat kit you have there,gave me some useful tips.
Quite grateful to be honest.
And a nice video as usual.
So glad to hear that! Thanks for your support!
For a couple of hours I prefer a small backpack. I don't wear cargo pants.
Plastic water bottles, raincover, snack, first aid, SAK and basic Survival-box.
In my area there ist not really wilderness. I like survival and outdoor gear, but i want to be realistic. weight loss it's a big point vor me.
Greetings from Germany 🤜 🤛
Thanks for sharing!!!!!🔥
Very good advice -thank you
Glad it was helpful!🔥
Hi, thanks for your informative video. What make trousers are those your wearing please?
Thank you so much for enjying my videos! Pants are made by Carinthia Pro
I carry a fix blade and tourniquet in a field sharpener. I’m working on a bag to carry taking a lot of your ideas. I appreciate your instruction. I got that Tasmanian tiger 30 L bag. Those boots that you recommended are very comfortable nice and lightweight. Can’t remember exactly what else but I’m working on it. Oh yeah, I got an IFA bag for medical.
So glad that what so share can be useful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, love to hear other’s experience 🤙🏻 Do you like the pack?
I’m liking the bag lots of room pretty comfortable. The boots are nice and lightweight. Pretty comfortable as well.
Subscribed. Thank you
Thanks for your support!!!🔥
it is a great video.... thanks...👍
Thank you!🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another great video! I never really go off trail without my edc/get home bag, but my pocket edc is pretty useful. Bag needs some tweeking here and there but with it I think I have the majority of what I need to get to safety or home on foot if needed. plan is to put my theory to the test over a 72 hour period. Need some spine operations so the trips on hold atm! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thank you! I wish you ll the bet for your spine surgery! God Speed!🙏
@@AlexWander thank you 😊
I always have my Victorinox Huntsman with me. When I go to our urban forest, I take my Super Tool 300 with me. Into the next larger forest, which is a few kilometers further away, I take a daypack with water, a rescue blanket, first aid, something to snack on, a fixed knife and, if I want to look for fatwood, a small saw, some Paracord and my survival kit.
👋👍😄
Perfect mindset to me! Thanks for sharing your experience!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Outstanding video and value
Thanks so much!!!!🔥
Truly great video
Thanks so much!!!!!
Hi Alex, thanks for this video...
Could you tell us what is the model of your cargo pants on this video ?
best regards
Thank you! They are Carinthia Pro combat trousers!
@@AlexWander thank you Alex !
You’re welcome!
Intelligent kit. I'll make a video of mine.
Thank you !!! Looking forward to see yours!🔥
Considering eventual minimum extra weight i woukd suggest a wire saw and an emergency wristle.
They both would be a great addition, thanks!🙏
In trepida attesa 💥💯💥💯💥🔝
Grazie amico spero ti piaccia!!!!🔥
Where do you get those cargo pants at? I really like those. Just found your channel and really enjoy the context!
Hello John! They are Carinthia Pro Combat Trouser , so glad you enjoy my channel, really appreciated!🙏
Sound edc kit

Thank you!🙏🏻
Phone, wallet, keys, SAK with ferro rod and tinder, map+compass, hat/beanie, wool gloves, poncho, and a stick of licorice.
Mini flash light, pocket knife lighter and 2nd amendment tool in my waist band
I’d say perfect 🤙🏻🏴☠️
I keep a couple plastic store bags in my pocket to collect birch bark, pick up trash, or bring home mushrooms I find.
Nice choice!, thanks!!!!
I like how you think🤘💪
thank you!🙏
I wish Amazon had an option to generate global affiliate links that work with all countries - I had to manually search for the bank line in my local Canadian storefront which removes your commission
No worries 💁 the important thing is that you found it 🤙🏻
This makes me wonder if I shouldn't start carrying a mylar blanket with me come winter.
It might come in handy 👍
I have a tool roll with head lamp and hand lamp, opinel 12 saw, opinel n10 2 baterr for lamps, pencil, bendits, pliers, lighter and emergency blanket. Small tool roll edc
Cool Kit Man, Opinel makes great tools!
Hi, that was a cool stove but what do you use it for? I didn't see any sort of cup or anything you could sit on it. Great advise.
Hello! I had my GRAYL Titanium Ultrapress with me, I always carry it when I go into the woods with this set up👍
In pockets lighter,phone and a knife,but i always carry a backpack,i find it more comfortable then stuffing my pockets full off gear.
sak, lighter with tape compass flash light em blanket and a grayl two hanks of bank line red bandana mirror whistle
another great minimalist kit! thaks for sharing!
Hi- Great video. What SAK do you take as EDC in the woods/ day to day basis. Thanks
Thanks I use to carry the Huntsman Black 🤙🏻
👍👍
Hey Alex,
nice video! Which specific pants are those, that you are wearing in the video?
Thank you! The pants are from Carinthia Pro, model Combat Trousers 🤙
@@AlexWander Thanks for your fast reply!
nice vid
Thanks so much!!!!
nice
Thanks!
I wear more or less the same. For example, I carry a small sewing kit and a whistle but I do not carry a tourniquet. Best regards from Argentina.
Glad to hear we are on the same boat, sewing kit can be often helful, i'm gonna thin of that, thanks for the hint!
@@AlexWander 😃👍
Have you checked out the Kevlar cordage?
I have some, still figuring out if it worths to carry it, thinking about how itworks regarding knots, friction ect ect. what do you think?
@@AlexWander seems like it might be useful in some ways.
Check out the Nano heat blanket.
I will definitely check it out, thanks!
👍 nice
Thank you!!!!
Here in germany i always carry pepperspray, but in italy it is not alowed, i think.
I actually don't know I saw pepper sprays on sale even in the supermarket lately but I don't know if we can carry one , i will dig deeper into it, thanks for the hint!
@@AlexWander Sehr gerne. In Selbstverteidigungssituationen ist es ein absoluter Gamechanger. Und nicht tödlich!
Curious….what brand are those cargo pants
Carinthia Pro Combat trousers, great pants but expensively, I also love Fjällräve’s Vidda pro pants , less expensive, but honestly I have a couple of 5.11 tac lite pants that after 14 years are still going strong 💪
Water bottle, GPS, map, good warm jacket. Getting lost is main issue the causes problems.
What brand and type of cargo pants are those? I've been trying to find pants like that with pockets down by the ankles. Thanks in advance for your reply. Sincerely, Derek
These are Carinthia Pro Combat trousers, quite expensive, if you look for something cheaper but goo, there're some similar pants with the same pockets at the ankle , Helikon Tx is the brand. Hope it helps!
Thanks for the info!
what pants brand are those? never seen before thanks
Hello there! They are Carinthia Pro Combat trousers !
@@AlexWander thank you, your videos are on point with a different views on subjects.
@@robwilliams9876 so glad to hear that, thank you!
Kinfe shaper with ferro rod, the 20 dollar emergency tent "works like the blanket small" h20go global water purifier. "Which gives you unlimited purifier water source." And pack of thoes food tablets all in a small bag I keep in the car, take it when I going away from the car for awhile, water, food shelter, right? Everything I need to get by if needed. Lol
Thanks so much for sharing!!!! I'm always interested in knowing how people think about their kit!
Quality videos: you deserve to succeed. I carry almost the same as you. My differences: I don't carry a tourniquet unless I have a bag, although I'm going to get some RAT's & see what I think. In my pockets I have in addition 4 bin bags, a mosquito head net and a pair of tights. I will normally carry one more item of clothing than I'm wearing.
See "EDC for Survival" for the full account: (TH-cam will not allow a link, but search "What Do I No", then select "Practical".
Thanks so much ! So glad you enjoyed the video! I will check it out for sure, thanks for sharing!
Which brand of cargo pants are those?
Carinthia PRO 👍
Currently me binging on YT is just waiting for you to drop new vid
This makes me truly honored, thanks!🙏🏻
@@AlexWander let me say that i’m just thankful to yt algorithm for showing your channel. Only thing that I’m afraid that someday you will stop making vids/ start to advertise bad products. Because now your vids are PERFRCT i hope it’ll never change. As a fellow european i’m very happy that you create Great and valueble videos. Can’t wait for next one
@oskarmiklaszewski6421 thanks so much for your meaningful words, I will always show products that I really used and tested and that I’ve decided to add to my set ups. Most of all I want to keep sharing knowledge and experiences where the gear is involved 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@AlexWander and bless you for that. You are literally only youtuber that i comment because I just want to feed the algorytm to show more people a hidden gem that is your Channel
@oskarmiklaszewski6421 your support is priceless, thank you!!🙏🏻
A few plasters + tape, knife, ferrorod, cordage and my ti water bottle
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!!!!🔥
No backpack, cargo pants. Pocket knife mostly large SAK, lighter, torch, first aid kit, single wall stainless steel bottle
Neat kit! Thanks for sharing!!!!🙏🏻
Wear that Grayl on a paracord sling. Why carry it? Why have that thing constantly swinging on your belt?
it's not that uncomfortable in my humble opinion🤷🏻
Bonjour il vous arrive de passer par le sud de la France?
It might happen why?
@@AlexWander je me demandais, si vous organisiez des rencontres ou des formations, en stage individuel ou petits groupes. Ou bien si vous envisagez de le faire dans le futur.
It’s honestly something I’m thinking about lately 🙏🏻 I’m always happy to be helpful 🔥
@@AlexWanderje vous trouve différent, personnellement je pense qu’il est impossible de survivre dans la nature, j’y passe la majorité de mon temps libre depuis mon adolescence avec le matériel nécessaire et la condition physique nécessaire, mais je ne donne pourtant que quelques semaines à un humain compétent et équipé, dans une situation de stress ou d’effondrement, à moins qu’il ne tire un trait sur sa santé mentale et devienne sauvage, du même basculement psychologique qu’un détenu de longue peine aurait du mal à réintégrer la vie sociale. Ainsi j’aimerais bien rencontrer des gens compétents pour partager ces idées sur le mental et la psychologie, car je vois bien que derrière le survivalisme, les idées autonomistes, il y a une ingénierie sociale à l’œuvre, selon les bonnes vieilles méthodes de la société du spectacle, et que c’est même du pain béni pour les ingénieurs de l’ordo ab chaos, qui ne cherchent qu’à faire consommer des gens solitaires et desocialisés, et ne leur feront pas le plaisir de faire un collapse où il aurait l’occasion de se servir de ce beau sac d’évacuation pour aller gratter son firerod dans les forêts.
Excusez-moi pour ce long message. J’aimerais, vraiment, avoir votre avis personnel, je reconnais en vous quelqu’un de méticuleux et réfléchi, certainement sage aussi sur les limites humaines réelles, mentales et physiques.
👍

Phone, Wallet, Keys. Maybe a bottle, flashlight, SAK.
Bel posto che bosco era?
Ero sull’Adda nella zona del Cremasco 🤙🏻
@@AlexWander bella zona non ci sono passato mai a piedi sempre in moto, stando a nord est, ci devo fare un pensiero. bei video ti seguo, iscritto canale molto curato.
@traff1986 Grazie mille!!🙏🏻🔥
I usually have a backpack. Pew Pew always.
I would love to carry a pew pew too🤷♂️
Bearded Wander🤝
🤜🏻🔥🤛🏻
I carry bank line too. Multi multi use. I have used it to sew, amd stitch, handle wrap, tarp lines, traps, fishing, braid 3 large strands and is strong enough to hang a deer for cleaning, trip lines for camp security, lanyards, resource binding for easy movement,
A wierd thing i bring is the legs of panty hose. Coffee Filter, herb container, eel hook, if needed you can slide them on your arms for more clothing.
I have kit that fits in my pocket that covers the 5 C’s plus
That’s great! Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏻🔥
