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 have been doing this for over 40 years. Great video! Everyone always laughed at me until they needed something 😬🤔😂
Jokes on them lol thanks so much for watching. Glad to be prepared like you 😊💕
Yep! Agreed.😊
For real! Have a headache, nausea, a cut, a broken strap...I got you 👌🏼
YES!@@CookieDr007
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.
Girl, you ready for the zombie apocalypse…😂😂😂 love it
Girl you know I stay ready lol 😂
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur like my mother says if you stay ready ,you don’t have to get ready…❤️
That's what I call my kit. LOL
THIS!!!! @@shaywilliams3358
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!!!
EDCs are total lifesavers I agree! I love my Bob Ross tin lol Thanks for watching 😊💕
I have an emergency kit in my purse car and work desk. People call me the walking drugstore lol
lol love that! Great idea to have one in your work desk 😊
Yup, but when they need something……
Who do they come to!?!? I’m going to start charging lol
My EDC kit is similar to yours. The bandaids, cough drops, sewing kit, and electrolytes have all come in handy on several occasions. 😊
That’s awesome! Always good to be prepared. Thanks for watching!
I carry a lot of the same edc items, only thing I can recommend is safety pins!
That’s awesome thanks for watching! 😊 safety pins are great I always have at least one.
Great video! I always relate to women’s EDC videos more. Some of the men out there think two band-aids is enough first aid but need to carry 6 different types of pocket knives at all times!
lol omg so true! A women’s edc is all inclusive. Thanks for watching! 💕
I've been doing all these kits as well scince about 1979! I started when I was young and I've helped lots of people. I don't even know their names. From my friends to coaches and teachers at my school. 😊Lol. Keep up the great videos. This was great info. ❤
That’s amazing Jennifer! Thank you for watching 😊💕
Thank you so much! I love the idea of being prepared for just about anything! It’s a beautiful way to take care of our family and loved ones. I would love to see an edc car. Thanks! 🤗
I agree it’s a great way to take care of our families. Thanks for watching! I’ll post the car edc soon! 😊
I love this! My friends tease me about carrying big handbags full of stuff, but then they need something out of it!
Jokes on them lol 😂 We stay ready right Kristen! 😊
The Edc that myself and others have used the absolute most are foldable bags and handkerchiefs. Also a little spoon or fork for the times I just want a yogurt or fruit pot from the store instead of sitting in at cafes
Those are great items for an edc. Thanks for sharing! Yogurt/fruits are yummy 😊
The folding scissors can be purchased anywhere notions are sold, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Michael's l,etc just look in the area where embroidery threads are sold, sometimes they are with the crochet hooks and knitting needles.
Awesome thanks for the info! I was wondering where my mom got it from lol 😊
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.
Wow that’s awesome! You sound so prepared and I’m sure the people you’ve helped were grateful for your edc kit. Thank you to your Dad for his service. I come from a military family as well so the preparedness comes with the territory lol. Thanks for sharing your story I need to add insect repellent to mine. Take care 😊💕
You are in denial, just join our cult, admit you have an EDC 😂😂
the electrolyte packets are GAME CHANGING forreal i added those to mine also
😂
First time viewer, a car edc would be fantastic! Looking for new ideas to boost mine.😀
Car edc coming soon 😊. What are some things you have in yours?
Love this! I also watch Lorna Marie and these are my favorite videos. Yes, would love to see your car edc as well. :) 😃
Thanks for watching! Yeah Lorna marie is awesome. I’ll post my car edc soon 😊
I keep most of these things but also have a small tube of super glue and a zipper repair pull,oh and a travel size multi head screwdriver.😊 Always prepared😊
Ooo those are great items to have. I’ll add it to mine! Thanks for watching! 😊💕
The “ just in case” outlook has turned me into a mini hoarder 😮
Tell me about it lol 😂
That's a great selection. Two things I carry that I didn't see, that I've used, are a single use saline based eye wash and some mild diarrhoea relief meds
Great idea! I’ll add the saline drops and diarrhea meds. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@TheHandbagConnoisseursystane makes great small droppers, great to flush your eye out
I would love to see the one you keep in your car! Thanks for showing us this one!
Car edc coming soon! Thanks for watching 😊💕
So awesome …thanks for sharing! Would love to see the one you made for your car. 😊
Sure thing! I’ll post my car edc soon. Thanks for watching 😊
First time watching your channel and really enjoyed it. A lot of times I don’t know what to pack in my EDC and you’ve given me lots of ideas. Jumping into your channel to see what other goodies you have available 😂
Awww yay! Glad you enjoyed! So happy to have you here 😊💕
I carry a lot of the same items, and now I basically only ever wear a backpack because otherwise, my bags get heavy 😅 I wear glasses so I carry a microfiber cloth or two. Also individual saline tubes (great to get stuff out of your eyes), a small hand mirror, different wipes, a bag hook is helpful too. And random stuff, like a cute small box cutter, safety pins, tiny soap sheets, clips, tooth picks with floss, a small phone stand, cable ties, ziplock ties, little plastic bags (like trashcan liners - but I might consider the doggy bags now!).
Thanks awesome you sound so prepared! I’ll add the saline tubes and microfiber cloth to mine. 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur thank you! I've been gradually carrying more items over the years due to situations I found myself in, or that I wished I had so I could help others. And indeed they've all come in handy. Imagine my thrill when I found EDC videos on TH-cam. I felt so validated! :)
I have Salonpas too in my pouch that's always in my bag. Plus Vicks and cough drops.
MacGyver would be impressed!! ❤
lol yay 😊💕
I have an EDC and I didn't even know it. One thing you may get add....is anti nausea meds. Wintergreen Lifesavers are a Godsend for me. Plus a small stash of your own meds in case you leave them home.
My grandma always had a bag in her car. I must have gotten it from her...lol
Those are great items! I’ll add them to mine. Our grandmas were the same, always prepared 😊
Gin Gins ginger candy for me plus my Rx zofran 👌🏼
Love these kinda vids!
Yay I’m glad! Thanks for watching! 💕
I can so relate to this. I have all kinds of pouches and drawstring bag to keep my EDC. Mostly now I keep my anti allergy and gastric medicine, also facemask and body lotion/ mosquito repellent. I love those single pack hand sanitiser, I don’t know if it’s available in my place, I must look that up.
Sounds like you’re prepared! The single hand sanitizers I got from Target. Thanks for watching!
Algo bueno que merece ser replicado
Amazed at how much you fit in that mesh bag 😯
Thanks 😊 it fits a lot!
I have a similar system with my backpack. All of my friends and co-workers are both impressed and confused with the things I'm prepared with. 😂
lol 😂 people will be confused with edcs but are always grateful when we have what they need lol
Very good 👍 I can really use this when it needed 😊…
Yay 😁
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.
Just a note to anyone who carries extra medication or OTC medications, don't leave them in your car. Extremes in heat or cold will destroy them.
Ahhh yes lens wipes. I ran out and reordered some. Great idea about the glasses repair kit, going to order that now lol. I’ve left Tylenol in my car edc and keep it out of sunlight, but thanks for the heads up! 😊💕
I love your EDC. Where did you get the vitamin E serum packets. Also, would like to see your car edc. Thank you.
I got it as a sample. I’ll post my car edc. Thanks for watching 😊💕
I have most of this in my work bag which is a large laptop backpak, so not exactly light 😅 I'm going to see about making a smaller version.
Other items I've got in my bag is paracord, a small baggy with my bloodtype, info on my doctor, etc, extra cloth facemasks, Swiss army knife, emergency hot/cold blanket (one of those foil ones), a 3-way USB charge cable with different size USB plugs, spare keys, a travel razor and an extension cord. Most of that won't fit into a purse 😆
Wow that’s awesome! You sound prepared for anything. I need to add those items to my edc. I have some of those in my car edc. Keep up the good job of being prepared! Thanks for watching 😊💕
I found some tiny tiger balm tins. Since balm works on the same principle as TENS, those are great for emergency pain relieving. They're hard, maybe impossible to find in my country, so I've bought them when I've found them in Thailand.
Oh wow I need to hunt for tiny tiger balm tins. I use tiger balm and it works so well. Thanks for the info! 😊💕
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur There's one size of the original tiger balm. I've heard fight gyms sometimes stock these. Most of mine are of a different brand that's local to Thailand. I think it's called golden cup. Those are sometimes stocked at pharmacies, while the oroginal tiger balm tin I found at one particular 7 Eleven last time.
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur BTW, one reason balms are so readily available in Thailand is because they can be used on mosquito bites. Some are even green, with drawing of a mosquito on the lid.
This is such an anxiety relieve!!
It sure is 😊
My hubs would always tease. When u getting rid of the brick in your purse. Lol but it's great to always have something on hand people need.
lol 😂 that brick will come in handy
Where do you get the broth packets? Those would be really handy. Great idea, thanks for sharing.
I got them from Amazon. I’ll link it on the description box for you 😊💕 thanks for watching!
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur Thank you so much for linking them! I put them in my cart!
I'm bad with abbreviations thanks for spelling it out❤
You’re welcome ☺️
packets of plain sugar work too!
Ooo yes! I need to add that. 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. ❤
Yup I know you are always prepared 😊 So glad you resubbed. Oh ok I was always wondering where the scissors came from lol thanks for the info 💕
Wow great video, if you ever decide to sell EDC's please keep us posted!
I have thought about it if I ever do I will let everyone know. Thanks for watching 😊💕
where did you get your gold carabiner from? Thanks for sharing💙
It came with the Lululemon Nano Backpack. I linked it in the description for you 😊💕
thank you! @@TheHandbagConnoisseur
Me thinking it was a kit to go to the edc festival 😭 but this is just as good!
Lmfao 🤣 I guess this would be a good kit for edc too lol
I have a few in my purse, emergency bag, and car. I have more I'm working on.
That’s awesome! So good to be prepared 😊
One more thing I keep.... mustard packet. Sports events, mustard is great for muscle cramps. Walking at amusement parks, hikes, sight seeing. Just a thought.
Great tip! I’ll add a mustard packet to my edc 😊💕
Love Lorna Marie! What do you take when you’re traveling? I would add some water cleaning tablets/solution.
Lorna Marie is awesome! I love her too! I just posted my airplane edc. I should add water cleaning tabs. Thanks for the idea! I appreciate you for watching 😊
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur about to check out your airplane edc ♥️
Please show us how you organize them ❤
Will do 😊
I’m the same way . Even have extras in the car because of 2 little kids….my parents joke that I’m going to war lol
lol 😂 you’ll be prepared for war that’s for sure. Thanks for watching!
my mom has the same folded scissors 🤣 it's easily available here at our grocery stores..
lol nice! Oh wow I’ve never seen these at our grocery store. Love how accessible it is for you. Thanks for watching 😊💕
Wow i didnt realize i was so prepared. I have like 80% of this stuff in my bags. One thing i would say thats missing here is eye drops.
That’s awesome that you’re so prepared! Yes I need to add eye drops thanks for watching 😊💕
My daughter and sister tease me about this very thing😂😂😂😂😊
Laugh all they want they’ll be coming to you when they have a stain on their shirt lol 😂
I volunteered as mom aide in a first grade class for two years. After the first time I went on a class trip, the teacher paid ror my inclusion for the two years. I was a EMT for our town, and carried a backpack with my personal edc medical items plus extra gloves, hat and sweatshirt if a child wasn't dressed heavy enough for the weather. I ended up in charge of the "bad boys' who were hi gh spirited. They would also fight to carry my bag for me. I don't carry as much now but have access to Nearly everything i could need at home, car and rv, including oxygen! (BTW, I'm 70!)
Also, those boys fondly remember me as I've been told over the last 30 years
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 😊💕
Fyi Bee stings shouldn't be taken out with tweezers. Scrape the stinger out with a card etc. Squeezing with tweezers will squeeze the venom sack at the end of the stinger and make it so much worse.
Yes omg thanks for that reminder 😊
I have my EDC with me everyday to work, and EVERYONE, literally EVERYONE always comes up to me whenever they need something, because they all know I’m prepared.
Yazz that’s what I’m talking about! Thats awesome. It always feels good to be prepared. Thanks for watching 😊💕
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.
Wow that’s awesome! I was not prepared with an edc at that age lol. I bet you picked it up from your mom. Keep up the great job on being prepared. Thank you for watching! 😊💕
man i thought EDC meant the edc rave concerts 😂😂😂
Lmfao 😂 you can bring this to an edc rave lol
I thought this was an emergency kit specifically for EDC (Las Vegas) lmao
Shooooooot it can be lol 😂
Um, you're not a virgo by any chance?
I’m not I’m a Pisces 😊 you have a beautiful singing voice btw
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur i could have sworn you're a virgo! BTW I'm not the singer sorry hah, that's the singer King Princess - I'm just a fan sharing snippets of her new music. But yes agree, she does have a beautiful singing voice!
@@MYOB00 oh ok lol 😂
am i the only one who always have everything in my bag and my friends have been calling me Doraemon or Dora the Explorer 😅 i always think of just in case and what if everytime im packing my bag ..
lol that’s awesome! Yes I love to have just in case items too! Thanks so much for watching Dora 😂💕
why would you need a nail cutter? the only logical one inwould say is the turniqet
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 👍🏼
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur A victorinox multitool helps more and does more :)
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. ❤❤❤
I need to add an eye wash in my edc. Yes that’s a mini kind bar it has come in handy quite often. Yes a car charger is a must! Thanks for watching 😊💕
