Yes, I agree, I should know them in my head, but unfortunately I’m not perfect and I still use a calculator and sticky notes from time to time. The issue is when people get stressed in an evacuation situation they sometimes tend to forget simple things like leaving a note behind, turning off the gas or grabbing their medication. This is why pilots with 30 years of experience still use check lists. If someone is hungry, stressed and exhausted, the problem is compounded even more. Enjoy the fall:)
Hi mark cogdell, thanks for sharing the tip about the Zebra Pen refill option with me and the viewers. This is what TH-cam is all about, sharing ideas. Much appreciated.
Outstanding ! Excellent video and kudos for the itemized information. My take is that you need to carry whatever will allow you to get multiple UNEXPECTED repairs done. Given the number of items I would image that additions are all replacements. Even so, I would consider some electrical tape, graphite lubricant, small sized multimeter or circuit test pen, wire, military grade parachute rubber bands, wire tooth brush, plastic bags and several types of resin based glues with a drying clap.
Just a little tip on that zebra F701, you can use a space pen refill in it and you have a nice space pen for about $16. Only mod to the pen is taking out the plastic sleeve in the tip of the pen.
Good job on the kit. It is obviously an EDC tool kit, not a survival kit. I agree with a previous post that you can eliminate about 30% of your tools with a Leatherman wave multi-tool and bit-kit. A leatherman has a lifetime warranty as well.
I feel sorry for these guys that make these videos. They go such lengths to be organized and ready, then they do these videos and have to take everything out and make a big mess. But I appreciate what they teach me about being prepared for any situation.
You've built a great kit and I got a number of great ideas from your video. I'd like to suggest a Leatherman Wave, Charge (AL, ALX or TTi) to replace the following to save you weight. Scissors, eyeglass screwdriver, driver bits, saw, file and more. I carry a Leatherman Charge TTi and a Led Lenser M3R flashlight (220 lumen rechargeable AAA or Alkaline AAA ) to reduce weight and expand my sight field. Absolutely superior to the Streamlight flashlight.
Actually, I have done a lot of precision work. Theres not even a pair of cutters, needle nose or strippers in your kit. You clearly enjoy collecting widgits.
mark rogge Hi folks, as indicated in my write-up this kit is not for everyone. What tools one person finds practical another finds unimportant. This is true with a lot of gear and equipment. Bottom line, this kit will not address every minor repair. Not even close. It is simply how I chose to outfit one of my mini kits. Kindly build your own kit your way and show it to us so we can get some tips from those who practice precision tool work. Please contribute and share your kits, all the best
Just like to start off by saying I LOVE your videos, I've given ALL of them a look and they have helped with my b.o.b. and e.d.c. as well. One thing that I've noticed in most every e.d.c. video on youtube is everyone carries the "write in the rain" notebook, but nobody addresses the fact that it can be your lifeline. I for one use a few pages in the back to write very important info for myself in case of emergencies, writing things like your medical info blood type, allergies, etc. could save your life if hurt and unable to communicate, contact info for first responders (basic of course) is vital. also I have in mine local plants and edibles with drawings of them, locations in my area i know of, trap designs, bugout plans and maps,paracord braid designs, known animal locations and the propper way to skin and process the meat of said animal, complete breakdowns of my firearms and locations of parts, etc. anything that can help you in a crisis when under stress works and is an invaluable tool to have stored, only takes up a few pages in the back and takes no more room for possible life saving information. Hope this advice helps you guys and once again thanks for the awesome videos!
Hello IIIottoIII, I am very familiar with Knipex. They are premium cutters. I have a pair of Knipex bolt cutters as part of my 72-hour tool kit. They will go through 8 gauge commercial grade fence, the top guard and concertina wire too. The con is they are heavy and like you said, expensive. Nothing in their line is cheap, but like with most things, you get what you pay for. I will do a review of my 72-hour tool kit one day. Thanks.
A tool you really should add is a Knipex. It will be the most versatile tool in your kit. They're made in Germany and are rather expensive but once you own one you're hooked. I suggest the Knipex 7-Inch Pliers Wrench its a awesome tool.
Thanks a lot for sharing the contents and suppliers. I see you like pen shape type products. I've been searching products that are credit card and paper thickness like. I will post a video asa I have a good number of stuff to fill up my EDC. Great Video bro.
Hi Dreamhawke, they can be a bit difficult to acquire. I’ve only seen them on Survival Resources for $16.95. You can find a cheaper substitute at ACE or True Value hardware stores. These are plastic oil pens (Super Tube) and not as nice as the stainless steel Micro Drop Pinpoint Oiler, but will basically do the same thing. I prefer the micro oil pen over Rem Wipes, because I can place a precise drop of oil exactly where I want it. Moreover, it is refillable and will probably last a lifetime.
Hi Hugh Chapman, It’s there, simply click on show more at the bottom of the comments section to see my write up in the exploded view. It’s a very long and detailed list of all the items. Thanks and enjoy.
Great video my friend. Really good stuff. Does your channel have more videos on the contents? I wanna know more of what you think about the tools you chose.
Hi, I have a detailed write up of the items listed within the description section. Like most people, I also have full size tools for tackling large repairs, but for small items, gear and equipment this kit can be very handy. If I had to do it over again, I would include more tools for working on firearms, watches, replacing watch batteries or bands, repairing eyeglasses, smartphones and other electronics. I’m also thinking of adding a small soldering tool to the kit to make it more complete. Perhaps a MagTorch Micro Flame Pro, Dremel Versatip or Bernzomatic Micro Torch. Respectfully
Good Day David Smith, The pivoting t-handled driver is simply called the T-driver. It costs $14.95. The other one that looks like a blue clip-on pen is called the Miniature Screwdriver Set. This one comes with 5 different screwdrivers and cost $16.95. The larger blue tool is actually a file set. It’s called the Large Needle File Set and comes with 6 files and costs $14.95. All can be obtained at Survival Resources. Please see my detailed write up in the comments section. Enjoy.
I love your kit! Great video, has given me lots of ideas for myself, and to start a kit for my dad. I love the little fixed blades with sheaths you showed! Could you provide more info on what they were and where to get them? All I could make out were Pocket Bravo and PSK. Thanks, keep up the great vids!
Hi johnenapier, if you are referring to the small stainless steel vial, it can be obtained from Survival Resources. I use it to store assorted sewing needles. It is called the Stainless Screw Top Vial and cost about $5.50. It measures 3 ¼ inches in length and the diameter is about 3/8 of an inch. See my write-up in the description section. Thanks.
Hi. This is a great video. I was wondering if you made a video for what is in your Fatty Maxpedtion bag. You said that you converted it to a range bag and I was interested in doing something similar. Thanks!
Hi Joe Smith, you are correct. I did convert my Maxpedition Fatty into a range bag. It is a basic set up consisting of the usual suspects. It contains an HK tool, Swiss Army knife, Pocket Gunsmith tool, one miniature allen wrench for adjusting laser sights, chamber safety flag, Choke wrench, Cabela’s boresighter, duct tape, telescoping magnet, Q-tips, Swarovski lens cleaners, hex wrench, small hank of 550 cord, extra staples for my staple gun, oil pen, Microstream flashlight, Nikon Lens Pen, red and black Sharpie marker for scoring targets, ear plugs, batteries (AAA and CR123), Loctite, 6 inch plastic ruler, whistle, small magnifier, Micro SD cards, small hemostats for changing SD cards in my Bino’s, patches and part of an Otis cleaning kit. I’m sure I have a few other knickknacks, but that’s the bulk of it. Enjoy.
that's a grate portable tool kit.........i wouldn't call it an EDC i would class this as a tool kit for the car or for when you have to go somewhere to fix something and you don't need or want to carry a tool box.
Great kit, but do all the MICRO tools come in handy often? Just curious as compared to a few normal sized tools? Just me personally I rarely would ever need micro tools on a weekly basis. Nice video!
Hi Antouan, I got the assorted needles from True Value Hardware, the Pathfinder Store and CVS Pharmacy. I got the stainless steel vial/container from Survival Resources. Thanks.
The grappling hook shown in the video is the Micro Grappling Hook by Maratac. Caution: this thing is not designed for any type of climbing. It is only designed to retrieve small items or to start a rope lead or hang food from a tree. Also, please use caution around any electrical wires. This thing has a tendency to grab onto almost anything. This can be both good and bad. I have used it to retrieve decoys, ducks and geese, as well as to lower items from my tree stand. Happy Trails!
Well, it depends on the type of gear, equipment and machinery you own and of course, the level of usage. Last weekend I had to make some minor repairs to a trailer. I do not use the kit every day, but when I leave it behind is when I usually need it. I am always tweaking my kit and have already improved it since the video, but no kit is prefect and no kit will do everything. In short, it’s about building a kit that meets the specific needs of the user (small, medium or large). Thanks.
I’ve seen them at a few online stores. Survival Resources carries them. If you know how to tie a Clinch knot, Palomar knot and a Uni-Knot, you should be good for fishing. They are super easy. I don’t use the fishing cards but I do reference the Pro-Knots cards from time to time. They are also good for drawing a straight line and taking small measurements. Enjoy.
I want to buy "Stainless screw top vial with assorted needles". But I can't find it anywhere. Please, advise me where I can buy this item. Thank you in advance.
Hi lillriko, Survival Resources carries the T-handle screwdriver as well as the stainless steel Sharpie. Some office supply stores like Staples also carry the stainless steel Sharpie.
i've watched this video a dozen times, great kit. where did you get the stainless steel vial from? i keep looking for small containers like that, but never find them.
+scrimpyanimal Hi, here’s a link to that item. It’s called the Stainless Steel Screw Top Vial for $5.95 at Survival Resources. They have other containers as well for kit building. Respectfully www.survivalresources.com/Products/Misc_Containers.html
@@TheAmericanOutfitter I would rather click affiliate links I the description to buy stuff; it's only fair since we get to learn about the items from you. Please consider it. Thank you for this video.
Hi Haloshammerofdawn, it’s called the Maratac Micro Grappling Hook for $26.95 obtained from County Comm, and the Micro Drop Pinpoint Oiler pen for $16.95 obtained from Survival Resources. See my detailed write-up in the description section. I listed all the gadgets, tools and accessories in my narrative. Simply click on show more. Thanks.
if you haven't replaced the ratchet yet. look at the Chapman mfg midget ratchet. I've heard good things about them. They're inexpensive(somewhere between $5 and $10) and made in the US
Hello CHeartlyR, I replaced the sockets but not the ratchet itself. It looks like Jay Leno is a big fan of the Chapman line of tools. Much appreciated.
I am surprised that you don't have a tactical ink pen in that kit to break glass, and for self defense. That is one item everyone needs in case of emergency when going to or leaving home on short trips.
Unfortunately for me, I’m a heavy writer and still take notes by hand and do diagrams and field sketches. I keep two pens and one marker in the kit, but they are not necessary, unless of course I need one. Thanks.
Just put up a quick video on my channel for a how to on the Zebra F-701 to space pen conversion. Turns out that it's actually about $13.50 to make the thing. Way cheaper than any of the metal space pens.
Kyle Leggott Acetone or nail polish remover but it may also remove some of the black finish from the blade. You may want to test a tiny little corner with a Q-tip first. Good luck
I don't see your list of the items in your kit. I thought that you said you were going to post that in the description. Maybe that was a different video. Thanks
+TheAmericanOutfitter I would like to say awesome kit as well!! I would like to steal some of your ideas if you dont mind. I am finding County Comm is an easy place to spend money on cool stuff! Thanks for making the vids!
Hi Roy Le Doux, I believe the lanyard tool you are referring to is the Maratac Micro Grappling Hook. I purchased it online from County Comm. Please see my write up in the description section. Click show more for details. Good day.
Hi djrn2005, the fixed blades that I showed in the video were the Bark River Pocket Bravo for about $123 and Bark River Personal Survival Knife (PSK) for about $130. Both are tough little fixed blades for someone looking for a compact knife. Another good option is the Bark River Emergency Preparedness Knife (EPK) for about $83. The EPK is the smallest of the three. All can be obtained online by searching the web for Bark River distributors. Enjoy.
Hate to keep arguing with you, but Pocket Screwdrivers only sells those two drivers in 100pc or greater quantity as advertising. Only a very small subset of their products are available as single piece sales.
It would have been nice if you would have helped out by posting sources or links to where you found and got these items. Maybe an edit would be a good idea?
Hi, the following stores were used to build this kit: Auto Zone, Cabela's, County Comm, CVS Pharmacy, DD Hammocks, EMS, Going Gear, Mil-Spec Monkey, REI, Sears Hardware, Staples Office Supplies, Survival Resources, Supply Captain, True-Value, ACE, The Pathfinder School, and True Utility
+Landser64 Hi, I'm not sure who makes it, but I got it from Survival Resources. The link is listed below. Respectfully www.survivalresources.com/Products/Tools.html
+Landser64 Oh, I’m sorry, you were referring to the T-Driver. Yes, that’s another great tool. I have two of them. They are compact and allow for extra leverage. Respectfully
Malcolm Schomas Yes, this has been pointed out before, but it will only fit into the one of the main compartments. Maxpedition recommends that the Fatty be attached to the outside of the pack with PALS webbing but this is not a viable option for me. Too sloppy for me. I like it best as a stand-alone kit for the boat or truck. Thanks
buddy you have taken EDC to the nith degree its a great effort but my advice to you is what ever survival situation you are in hide under a tarp when ever you pull something out cause the way the world is today some punk will knock you out and swipe that $600 bag.
DeTrop EHMB Well, my EDC tool kit is not a survival kit. It was never intended or designed to be one and it is not something I take backpacking with me, nor would I ever be caught underneath a tarp with it. My survival system is entirely different and much more comprehensive and will address criminal activity quite effectively. Thank you for your concern.
Right now the EDC Beefy Pocket Organizer is $32.99 (and if you buy 2 you get a BOGO deal!) ! What I simply cannot fathom is how everybody on YT seems to have a perpetual erection (lasting more than four hours apparently!) over Malcolm's (Hidden Woodsmen) Survival kit pouch at TWICE THE PRICE! THe only difference I see is Malcolm's use of orange fabric to line the inside with. THAT'S IT though! What am I missing here?
Hiya butty, quick question: The larger folding saw that you have in your kit - where did you get that from? Also, is it like a hacksaw and can cut through metal or just for cutting wood/plastic? Any other reviews in the pipeline?????????????????????? Cheers.
Those little tiny saws can for found at Survival Resources, Going Gear and County Comm. You can also find them on Amazon. There are inexpensive and come in handy for cutting bone, wood or plastic. Caution, the blade does not lock in place. Thanks.
It's a nice edc but, in my opinion it's unimportant to have that many pens in your edc, i only have one pen in my edc, but it's cool, what ever float's your boat

Tanks for the video! Very nice tool kit, very good quality tool and you show me the important thing for upgrading my kit. Thanks again.
Smart thought process, put a kit together with what is available and upgrade as you can.
Outstanding ! Excellent video and kudos for the itemized information. My take is that you need to carry whatever will allow you to get multiple UNEXPECTED repairs done. Given the number of items I would image that additions are all replacements. Even so, I would consider some electrical tape, graphite lubricant, small sized multimeter or circuit test pen, wire, military grade parachute rubber bands, wire tooth brush, plastic bags and several types of resin based glues with a drying clap.
Outstanding! Very nice kit with A LOT of items I've never seen before!
Wow Dude the power to make or fix just about anything in the palm of you hand. Cool, Thanx
That grappling hook is sweet
Well i have to say every kit you have so far is pretty amazing and well organized ! looks like youve thought about every scenerio! ready for anything.
Video starts here 3:08
liked the stainless sharpie.. really neat.....liked you get up
amazing kit.i have a few of your items already but i love gettin' new ideas and you have gave me a lot.thanks for the great video.
Some awesome stuff in your kit that I need to add to own tool kit
Wow, you said "handy" so many times that I needed one by the end of the video, lol. Cool kit though!
Just a little tip on that zebra F701, you can use a space pen refill in it and you have a nice space pen for about $16. Only mod to the pen is taking out the plastic sleeve in the tip of the pen.
Cool EDC set!
very nice, good video, congratulations. a complete EDC. TOOL KIT
I DON'T UNDERSTAND??????? I'VE TRAVELED THE WORLD NEVER NEEDED ANY OF THIS STUFF EVER. HILARIOUS.
I really appreciate the use of cm and grams as well as in an lbs
Good job on the kit. It is obviously an EDC tool kit, not a survival kit. I agree with a previous post that you can eliminate about 30% of your tools with a Leatherman wave multi-tool and bit-kit. A leatherman has a lifetime warranty as well.
I feel sorry for these guys that make these videos. They go such lengths to be organized and ready, then they do these videos and have to take everything out and make a big mess. But I appreciate what they teach me about being prepared for any situation.
Best toolkit ever Seen here! Thx!

Absolutely superior to the Streamlight flashlight.
The zebra pen takes Fischer space pen refills. Great video
Perfect. Pocket Screw Drivers Dot Com has them for $10.99. That seems to be the lowest price I’ve seen. Thanks again.

Hello CHeartlyR, I replaced the sockets but not the ratchet itself. It looks like Jay Leno is a big fan of the Chapman line of tools. Much appreciated.
anytime, glad I could help!
Super!
I am surprised that you don't have a tactical ink pen in that kit to break glass, and for self defense. That is one item everyone needs in case of emergency when going to or leaving home on short trips.
Hi, I have a glass break and seatbelt cutter, but it is in the vehicle where it is better suited.
Unfortunately for me, I’m a heavy writer and still take notes by hand and do diagrams and field sketches. I keep two pens and one marker in the kit, but they are not necessary, unless of course I need one. Thanks.
Just put up a quick video on my channel for a how to on the Zebra F-701 to space pen conversion. Turns out that it's actually about $13.50 to make the thing. Way cheaper than any of the metal space pens.
Hey man, please help. I've gotten some super glue on my gerber black blade knife, is there any way of removing the glue without damaging the blade? ??
Kyle Leggott Acetone
or nail polish remover but it may also remove some of the black finish from the
blade. You may want to test a tiny little corner with a Q-tip first. Good luck
I don't see your list of the items in your kit. I thought that you said you were going to post that in the description. Maybe that was a different video. Thanks
Who make the T-handle screw driver???
Where does that oil pen come from???
Could you share some info on the watch you are wearing? Tks
Kindly see my video titled Luminox Watches. Respectfully
can you do an updated gear review video?
Hey, cool kit. Where did you get that little grappling hook?
+Ross Burt Hi, I got the grappling hook from County Comm. Respectfully
+TheAmericanOutfitter I would like to say awesome kit as well!! I would like to steal some of your ideas if you dont mind. I am finding County Comm is an easy place to spend money on cool stuff! Thanks for making the vids!
What is your watch ?
Where did you buy that lanyard tool? It's awesome
Hi Roy Le Doux, I believe the lanyard tool you are referring to is the Maratac Micro Grappling Hook. I purchased it online from County Comm. Please see my write up in the description section. Click show more for details. Good day.
out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? I really like your choices
Hi djrn2005, the fixed blades that I showed in the video were the Bark River Pocket Bravo for about $123 and Bark River Personal Survival Knife (PSK) for about $130. Both are tough little fixed blades for someone looking for a compact knife. Another good option is the Bark River Emergency Preparedness Knife (EPK) for about $83. The EPK is the smallest of the three. All can be obtained online by searching the web for Bark River distributors. Enjoy.
We're can I buy that stainless steel screw top vial for your needles!? Please help can't find it anywhere
Hi, thy Survival Resources.
Hate to keep arguing with you, but Pocket Screwdrivers only sells those two drivers in 100pc or greater quantity as advertising. Only a very small subset of their products are available as single piece sales.
It would have been nice if you would have helped out by posting sources or links to where you found and got these items. Maybe an edit would be a good idea?
Hi, the following stores were used to build this kit: Auto Zone, Cabela's, County Comm, CVS Pharmacy, DD Hammocks, EMS, Going Gear, Mil-Spec Monkey, REI, Sears Hardware, Staples Office Supplies, Survival Resources, Supply Captain, True-Value, ACE, The Pathfinder School, and True Utility
what's the make on the screwdriver with the t handle?
Hi, I got the T-Driver set from Survival Resources for $14.95, but there are others who also sell them like Sabertooth. Respectfully
Who makes the Miniature Screwdriver set with 5 drivers $16.95 and where did you get it?
+Landser64 Hi, I'm not sure who makes it, but I got it from Survival Resources. The link is listed below. Respectfully
www.survivalresources.com/Products/Tools.html
+TheAmericanOutfitter Thanks. I found it and got one ordered. They are called The T-Driver.
+Landser64 Oh, I’m sorry, you were referring to the T-Driver. Yes, that’s another great tool. I have two of them. They are compact and allow for extra leverage. Respectfully
can you do an updated video?
What size are those Westcott scissors? Is that the 5 inch ones?
Hi, they are 5 inches overall with a 2 ¼ blade.
Merci
Dude it didn't mean put it in your pocket it meant the pockets are organizers
Malcolm Schomas Yes, this has been pointed out before, but it will only fit into the one
of the main compartments. Maxpedition recommends that the Fatty be attached to
the outside of the pack with PALS webbing but this is not a viable option for
me. Too sloppy for me. I like it best as a stand-alone kit for the boat or truck. Thanks
buddy you have taken EDC to the nith degree its a great effort but my advice to you is what ever survival situation you are in hide under a tarp when ever you pull something out cause the way the world is today some punk will knock you out and swipe that $600 bag.
DeTrop EHMB Well, my EDC tool kit is not a survival kit. It was never intended or
designed to be one and it is not something I take backpacking with me, nor
would I ever be caught underneath a tarp with it. My survival system is entirely
different and much more comprehensive and will address criminal activity quite
effectively. Thank you for your concern.
Right now the EDC Beefy Pocket Organizer is $32.99 (and if you buy 2 you get a BOGO deal!) ! What I simply cannot fathom is how everybody on YT seems to have a perpetual erection (lasting more than four hours apparently!) over Malcolm's (Hidden Woodsmen) Survival kit pouch at TWICE THE PRICE! THe only difference I see is Malcolm's use of orange fabric to line the inside with. THAT'S IT though! What am I missing here?
Hiya butty, quick question:
The larger folding saw that you have in your kit - where did you get that from?
Also, is it like a hacksaw and can cut through metal or just for cutting wood/plastic?
Any other reviews in the pipeline??????????????????????
Cheers.
Those little tiny saws can for found at Survival Resources, Going Gear and County Comm. You can also find them on Amazon. There are inexpensive and come in handy for cutting bone, wood or plastic. Caution, the blade does not lock in place. Thanks.
Yes, I will review more stuff.
You spell buddy, butty!
It's a nice edc but, in my opinion it's unimportant to have that many pens in your edc, i only have one pen in my edc, but it's cool, what ever float's your boat
That voice cracking tho!
