    In the video I mentioned a bee sting. Do not use tweezers to remove the stinger. Scrape it with a credit card. Use the tweezers for things like a splinter, plucking your eyebrows etc.

      I had a canvas tote in my car, my sister said what do you do with all that, I said I use most of this every week.
      An our later after we got to mom's house she said my dog got into something nasty. We washed her but she still stinks, do you have something g to help her smell better? We went to my car I pulled out 2 packs of wet ones and I said regular or lemon sentences, she grabbed the lemon ones.

    honestly having an EDC kit (or whatever people want to call it for themselves) is a lifesaver. It's when you don't have it and something happens, when you REALLY wish you had prepared! For example, traveling (by car, bus, plane whatever) and then you get SICK!? oh god. the pain and inconvenience...or even just being out and about doing errands and you don't feel good and need something (like a quick advil or pepto bismol tablet) to get you through the day until you get home - truly lifesavers. Shout out to your Bob Ross tin!!!

    My father is an army veteran. When I went to college for my biology degree and we had field trips, I was better prepared than my professor because of my father 😂
    One of my classmates was unaware that she was allergic to a plant. She got a really bad rash that could have gotten worse if I hadn't been carrying benadryl allergy spray. I also kinda saved another girl's underwear because I made the habit of carrying around at least three menstrual pads with me even when I don't need them. You never know.
    After that, everyone would come to me if anything happened.
    I don't have a dedicated EDC bag, but I do carry around wet wipes, a small first aid kit, toilet seat covers, those little travel bottles of sunscreen and insect repelent, a glasses repair kit since I wear glasses and it's not the first time one of the screws have gotten lose, toothpicks with floss, and gum in my purse whenever I go out. I forgot to add that I also carry electrolytes and plain sugar packets (this recommended to me by my sister who is a nurse)
    I have old empty pencil cases with zippers. Maybe I can use those to make a dedicated EDC kit to include in my bug out bag.

    If you wear glasses those tiny glasses repair kits are helpful...they have extra screws and nose pads as well as a tiny screwdriver. Also prepackaged lens wipes and/or a microfiber cleaning cloth are helpful.

      Wow Constance that’s amazing! All great things to have in an edc. I especially love that you had sweatshirts just in case a child needed it. Loved hearing your story. Would love to hear more. All the best to you 😊💕

    My cousin and I have been doing this since we were 12-13. I don’t really know why for sure, might be because my mother was a nurse and we just passively picked it up. The idea of not having one in my bag or in my locker at work is strange.

      You can build your edc to fit your needs. I put a nail cutter in mine just in case I break a nail, have a hang nail, or if I need to snip/cut something. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

    Great video! I carry an edc always. By the way, if you have seen that I have unsubbed and resubbed, I am having issues with TH-cam. I am hoping it is fixed now. I have those folding scissors. They were from a sewing department. As I have said before, I have a giant edc. My mom incase backpack. You can never be too prepared. ❤

    Wow…I got some fresh ideas and some reminders of what I could carry. I definitely need to add some “blister” type bandaids, the kind runner/hikers use. A safety pin, mini snacks and I need to find some alcohol wipes. I just started carrying eye wash in my edc as I accidentally got alcohol squirted in my eye and had to go a ways to find the eye wash at work. Now it’s near me in my handbag 😖. Cough drops are a good one not just for ourselves but someone we’re around that has a cough that way they cough less…😂🦠. Was that a mini Kind Bar? I love that idea. ❤ Oh this is what I wanted to add…the car charger is a must. My battery died and being able to call a tow or use the phone while you’re waiting is so important. ❤❤❤
