this is the best EDC video I have ever seen. I have viewed over 300 EDC video you are obviously a good family man. Making sure you family is protected WOW
I'm so glad this channel was recommended to me! I've got just about everything you have, but I also have a silcock key. Just in case I'm in a Town or city, I can grab whatever waters left that way. My get home bag has seasonal clothes to change, & extra socks & tennis shoes. I don't have any battery powered tools, as they expensive Craftsman & DeWalt and my SUV will be broken into! When I owned my Avalanche, I carried a lot more, but this new SUV isn't tiny, but isn't big! I do have the bivy bags with a shelter system, etc. I also keep rotating food & candy just to keep me going. At 65, I'm hoping I'm NOT on the road when SHTF, but you never know. I do keep an G2C & 3 loaded mags... Being an old women alone, I feel more comfortable..
Your carrying at least 2 shovel/entrenching tools, for digging out or putting dirt under tyres? If yout going to that trouble? Why not a set of folding sand channel or a few rolls of traction mats. The mats work great, and dont taje up half the room of sand channels
@MarineX I watched this video months ago and you saved my butt with just one item.. I bought the tire repair kit you recommended shortly after watching. . Tonight it's snowing like crazy and I'm out plowing a remote rural lot for our local FD.. Tire goes flat as a pancake. Plugged it with the kit and aired up in 20 deg weather with snow dumping down on me. Back on the road!! Thank you for the amazing content!
MARINE X is absolutely THE MOST PREPARED person that I have ever seen doing a video! Definitely not going to get into a situation that he can't get out of!! 😁 💯 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm New too today from the 50th parallel. Your just missing a few items for the truck that a man with all those tools wouldn't forget. Mechanic's wire, extra handy for a exhaust pipe and wiring together a bumper after a fender bender. Timing/Air conditioner belts since most break around 60,000 miles. 1 pcv sensor and fuses which usually fail after heavy rain or snow fall
Great vid. I definitely have some things to add to my truck kit. One simple thing I carry that I didn't catch, is a safety vest. When you are stopped on the side of the road... maybe rendering assistance, having that safety vest, is one more layer of protection from on coming vehicles. Semper Fi.
My husband bought me the Leatherman cutters and they are legit, my favorite multi-tool I’ve ever owned! Sooooo many uses!!! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately! Thanks for this! 🙏🏼
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Those Silky Saws are the best. Way better than the Laplander saw. I carry the Silky Big Boy as well. I'd suggest some real climbing carabiners. 60lb is nothing in an emergency. Another note, many vehicles with smaller lug nut sizes might not have the alloy rim clearance for thicker wall impact sockets. And maybe replace your garage jack with a solid bottle jack, in particular the SafeJack with additional extensions.
Hello! Thank you so much for posting the content you do! I am a novice prepper... but always have been prepared. I am a single grandmother and have found that some of the gadgets you put in your gear are Amazing! I didn't know they existed before now. Special interest is the tire plug, the jumpstart kit*** and the tools. I just found you so I haven't seen all of your videos yet... but in case you haven't thought about it, it would be wonderful if you could put together a video of what basic malfunctions can happen with a vehicle for women with some quick fix ideas and gadgets we can use ourselves. Loving this!!!
Not a bad idea. I'm glad you're apart of the Battalion. Click the link in the description and consider joining my discord server. There I take video ideas and chat throughout the day
I enjoyed your video. Great ideas. Especially the tool storage. I have the same truck and love the lift. One thing I added to mine in the console is a lockbox from console vault that bolts to the truck with extended bolts. I use it for more valuable items, spare cash or edc items I can not take in places.
Thanks for the Video. Good information. I made a few notes to improve my own vehicle bug out kit. My vehicle is not as large as yours, but I still have quite a bit of stuff in it. I do have to up my tool box game though... I only have a basic apartment-type tool kit in my Outback and some jumper cables. I do keep a 50-gal tub bungeed into the back with emerg. supplies, and I have an extensive trauma/medical kit in a 20L duffel. I'm only red-cross and US Army Combat lifesaver trained, but I have the trauma gear that a firefighter or RN might need to provide life-saving aid. I also carry two small 24 Hr. SHTF kits (for passengers) and a 72 Hr., two person SHTF kit in a 40L rucksack. I have a fixed blade knife and a folding 4.5 in knife with a seat belt cutter and glass breaker within reach of my driver's seat, also.
Learned lots. I really especially appreciated hearing about the everyday preparedness items. Saw lots of products I’ll be looking into. I’m doing the same thing going from tool bags to tool boxes. I’ll be using your favorite item caribenners to secure them so they don’t become projectiles in case of an accident. I always have to remind myself to keep certain items right at hand. I just moved to a rural mountainous area where roads get icy at night and deer have no problem jumping out in front of your car. Your level 1,2,3 totally resonates with me . My level one is what I would I need to reach from my seat if my car ends up in a ditch and I’m pinned in the seat. Very interesting fact about the energy required to blow a whistle versus yelling. I will be purchasing that whistle also. Can’t tell you how many I have bought that are not good. BTW first time viewer and new subscriber. I’ll be checking out your other videos and looking forward to your new ones. Thanks for taking the time to help so many of us out.
About halfway through the video I realized we basically have a very similar setup, similar gear, a few differences in preference, but overall pretty similar. Good planning and preparedness good sir! A couple of suggestions (apologies if I missed them in the video) would be duct tape everywhere, zip ties everywhere and a shackle hitch for vehicle recovery.
I have a similar setup in my Jeep. I do offroad recoveries here in Las Vegas. One thing I would say to everyone is DO NOT try to recover or snatch someone with a tow strap. Even if it says 20,000lbs on the label, they are not designed for that type of force and will break. They are strictly for towing a vehicle that has the ability to roll with minimum effort. People have been killed from the metal end going through the windshield. Always use a Kinetic Rope, winch with synthetic rope or at least a 4 inch recovery strap which is a lot bigger and made to be pulled that way.
I love the setup. My question is that I have to park in a bad side of town for work. And ideas to help prevent a break in? People break into cars at the parking lot of my work even in daylight.
Thanks for charing the video's. A drive a small car so a have not a lot of space to put all that stuf. In my country 🇧🇪 its forbidden to have a knife like the Ka-bar in the car. For my IFAK a use a Tasmanian Tiger bag that is fixed on the headsite of the passenger. (Sorry for my Englisch)
Great set up. I love the organization of this and the boxes that connect. Got some ideas. Thank you for sharing. Do you have a get home bag kit? I would like to see what you keep in it, or recommend.
I just subscribed and I usually don't but this channel has good, no BS content and doesn't fear monger like a lot of channels do. Plus a lot of the stuff I have seen thus far is practical. I can't watch people like Canadian Prepper as he fear monger a lot and decent amount of items he posts aren't practical and a waste of space when it comes to BOB'S.
I've watched a few of your videos so far and I'm excited to see more. Thanks for all the help you are giving to us who want to start prepping and learning
My vehicle is hardly a full-on rock crawler, but is among the best survival vehicles in the world. A Suzuki Jimny, it is a tiny 2 door 4X4 with high/low ratio gearbox which has literally saved our lives twice in the last 30 years, and, being non electronic, hopefully would also survive an EMP, and is easy to work on. So, gear: Under driver seat:- Fire Extinguisher 2 waterproof Ulephone burner phones which also work as walkie talkies (in Faraday bags). First aid kit (not full-on, but does have Israeli bandage) 2 Ponchos 2 sets of good goggles 2 P3 Masks Gloves and bandanas Tyre compressor (self powered, with gauge) Small umbrella (for my wife). Under passenger seat:- CB/Ham radio Jump start pack (have used it twice and it works!) Road Flares Yachting flares Hi-Viz Jacket (Mine actually has 'Security' printed on it, just in case...) Door pockets (These are miniscule on the Jimny!):- Maps Torch Knife Compass Spare glasses encrypted USB drive with necessary stuff Contractor bags Emergency blankets Bic Lighters Kniper mini adjustable wrench Screwdriver set Glovebox:- Small 'wrecking'” tool (crowbar/axe/hammer etc) 2 power banks Collapsible hats (from Australia) Torches VSSL survival kit (cool, but not all that practical?) Multitool Every sort of USB type cable 2 iPods… one with our entire music/talking book library, the other with our film library (hundreds of films… but neither are in Faraday bags) Monocular Sun visor:- More spare glasses/sun/night glasses Seat belt cutter/glass breaker Trunk (which again is tiny on the Jimny, but this all goes in there!):- Off-road gear… Tow straps, snatch straps, ground anchor, come-along, Warn winch, various attachment straps and bits, collapsible spade, hydraulic jack, Bug Off winch, tyre chains for front wheels (I don't have space for all 4 wheels!). 2 collapsible camping stools with bags underneath One has full tool kit, big waterproof solar charger/inverter, The other has change of clothing, emergency tent, collapsible bucket, dog's bug out bag (food, bowls etc), camp cooker, emergency food (not much, but could probably survive 3 days?) Get Home bag for two, which is pretty comprehensive! Better First Aid Kit 1 gallon gas (Jimny does 40mpg, so that is more than enough since I never run down to below half?) What I want to add? Satellite communication/GPS (but at least I have a Ham radio) Night vision stuff Water… for some reason, I only add water when I go somewhere… should have it permanently there? Love your channel, and particularly want to see your 'dog' Bug out bag… mine is a bit basic, just bowls and food…
Love the video, only question I have is, it seems like the knives and axe under the seats are just kind of sitting there. Have you found any kind of under seat storage system that keeps them anchored in place?
I keep my truck set up potty close to the same way. Most items are inside and when I travel I have a big tool box and impact setup with heavy navy the I tiedown in my bed.
Looking forward to dog Bug Out Bag... half the stuff in my vehicle is for him! Your vehicle kit looks pretty much exactly like mine... add a 'Come along" or hand-held Warn winch and ground anchor (only had to use it once, but there it was!), hi-viz jacket, road flares (and a distress flare), sacks to put over winch wires, Ham radio, CB (rarely used, but there if necessary), tent... and all this in a 15 year old Suzuki Jimny which got myself, my wife and my dog through the worst winter storm ever... 4 hours of terror! Also under the front seat, I have a pair of industrial weatherproof phones which double as CB walkie talkies, made by Ulefone, in waterproof Faraday bags... it is beginning to sound like I am paranoic?
Maybe late on this but I use Harbor Freight Jumper cables. The 4 gauge are inexpensive and work well. I've used them to jump-start a CAT D6 dozer before.
Like a lot of others just found you today off this video. You’ve got a good setup that gives me some ideas. Though I don’t have near the room in my Tacoma! Earned the sub from me
You should be careful with those lithium batteries sitting in the heat of your car. They can explode or catch fire if it's hot enough. Otherwise great video. Some of the things I would probably just keep a full sized version of like the blankets and towels. Portable ones are nice though.
Hey I just came across your Channel I have watched a few of your videos and really like them I'm looking for a storage container to put in the back of my truck I don't have a lot of money to spend on one but what do you recommend my truck has a cover on it
I had an OEM cig lighter put in that 12v in the center console. I don’t smoke but never use that 12v. Same truck and it has way too many 12v and usb lol.
Once I bought a Wavien metal (Jerry) can I’ve never even looked at a plastic gas can again. I carry one inside my Jeep Wrangler and there is absolutely ZERO gas fumes. Now I have five!
I run a Decked truck bed drawer system, and it holds everything I'd need in a secure waterproof setup. Having axes, ammo boxes, machetes, etc, in the cab is a bad idea if you're in an accident..
Late to the game comment... But nice videos my man, keep it up. Somewhat off topic question if you or anyone happens to see this. But what kinda watch is that? Ticwatch PRO 3 GPS?
just found this video today and loved the content, i subscribed. if you still need a recommendation for good jumper cables, the walmart ones have been good for me i have 3 pairs in 3 of my vehicles, the everstart 20ft 4gauge ones are the ones i use
That Gerber knife also has the two holes on the finger guard so you can tie it to a stick and make a spear, but you probably knew that. ;-) . Great set up. Makes me feel like I haven't done enough, and yet I have a lot of the same kind of stuff you do.
Let me add.. the "pocket trash" i do carry.. and its not for any other reason than to barter with as i ultimately dont care which i have and what it is (coin. Bar, etc) is a 1oz piece of silver. I ha e used it a few times in my live (Hurricane irma, earthquake, the texas ice storm (zero electricity for over a week).
about that Guerber machete, I had one like that, bought it from Home Depot I can tell you it is a crap...I used it to cut son branches from a mango tree, and had to toss it when i finished the work , so bad still. the blade was all twisted.
Look how nice and shiny new all this gear looks! Nicely manicured nails, no dirt under those nails! Hands look like they have never seen a hard day's labor......This dude is all hat, no cattle.
this is the best EDC video I have ever seen. I have viewed over 300 EDC video
you are obviously a good family man. Making sure you family is protected

Thanks for showing your truck edc. You have items in your truck that I had not even thought of carrying in my daily driver.. Keep the content coming..
Glad I could help.
We're definitely brothers from different mothers - so much cross over between the gear in my Truck EDC video :-) Love it man - keep it up.
Right on! I just checked out your channel. Love the content
I was looking for this comment. Just seen your video right before this one. So many similar/same items. Even down to the cigar cutters
MARINE X is absolutely THE MOST PREPARED person that I have ever seen doing a video! Definitely not going to get into a situation that he can't get out of!! 😁 💯 👏👏👏👏👏

I’m usually pretty prepared but your video gave me some great tips! Thank you!!
Glad I could help. No problem
My BOB and my get home bag each have Spigot Keys in them as well. It gives you access to water that might otherwise be difficult to access.

I can never not watch a truck edc video. I’m subscribed now.
Marine X and Canadien Prepper are some top notch TH-cam channels! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Great video love your content not sure if you know this but on those raptor shears that square cut out on the seatbelt cutter is an oxygen tank key
Excellent well taught out and actually well organised. I’ve seen many have gear but no organisation. Greetings from ireland.
Thank you very much!
This popped up in the recommended videos, pretty stoked TH-cam actually got it right for once. Awesome video! Semper Fi brother
Rah!!
I love the setup. My question is that I have to park in a bad side of town for work. And ideas to help prevent a break in? People break into cars at the parking lot of my work even in daylight.
You need to re-think your kit and consider potential theft when you do it.
If they can see something interesting, they'll be tempted. I'm wishing I drove one of those cargo vans with no rear windows.
I drive a old vw bug. Have a amno can with extra parts ropes a small battery charger some different sized cable ties.
Sounds efficient
@@MarineX always prepaired with parts and tools in my car. Very usefull when i travel or drive in convoys
Thanks for charing the video's. A drive a small car so a have not a lot of space to put all that stuf. In my country 🇧🇪 its forbidden to have a knife like the Ka-bar in the car. For my IFAK a use a Tasmanian Tiger bag that is fixed on the headsite of the passenger. (Sorry for my Englisch)
The best jumper cables I ever had were made out of welding leads. They are thick and you can make them as long as you want
Good idea
very thoughtful kit. well laid out, very comprehensive. I'm going to some of your other videos...good job. Jim

You're so prepared I'm just gonna sell my house and move next door to you! Totally awesome video, thank you!!
Awesome! Exactly what I’ve been waiting to see! I got the same truck and year model too. Great job Sir!
Thanks much. Now you can pack it up with stuff
Just found your channel! Wow my husband's vehicle needs this! T
Send the video his way
I think you have it covered. Great set-up, Sir!
DAMMM!!!!! You and your vehicle are on point. I usually have some kind of comment to make but you have it all covered. AWESOME VIDEO
Thanks much
Excellent content, realistic and genuine advice.
I just found your channel on here,I've been binge watching it.i started with your Esee Mess survival tin
That's awesome;
I've watched a few of your videos so far and I'm excited to see more. Thanks for all the help you are giving to us who want to start prepping and learning
Welcome aboard!
Can you do a video about what to do first if the SHTF.
Great idea.
Probably the best video on this subject that I’ve seen. Got a new subscriber!
Thanks much!
One of the best I've seen, thank you. And I like a man with a KABAR!
Thanks. That was helpful. I saw some new things to add to my EDC truck set up
Great vid. Keep pumping them out!!! 🔥
No problem. Glad to have you
My vehicle is hardly a full-on rock crawler, but is among the best survival vehicles in the world.
A Suzuki Jimny, it is a tiny 2 door 4X4 with high/low ratio gearbox which has literally saved our lives twice in the last 30 years, and, being non electronic, hopefully would also survive an EMP, and is easy to work on.
So, gear:
Under driver seat:-
Fire Extinguisher
2 waterproof Ulephone burner phones which also work as walkie talkies (in Faraday bags).
First aid kit (not full-on, but does have Israeli bandage)
2 Ponchos
2 sets of good goggles
2 P3 Masks
Gloves and bandanas
Tyre compressor (self powered, with gauge)
Small umbrella (for my wife).
Under passenger seat:-
CB/Ham radio
Jump start pack (have used it twice and it works!)
Road Flares
Yachting flares
Hi-Viz Jacket (Mine actually has 'Security' printed on it, just in case...)
Door pockets (These are miniscule on the Jimny!):-
Maps
Torch
Knife
Compass
Spare glasses
encrypted USB drive with necessary stuff
Contractor bags
Emergency blankets
Bic Lighters
Kniper mini adjustable wrench
Screwdriver set
Glovebox:-
Small 'wrecking'” tool (crowbar/axe/hammer etc)
2 power banks
Collapsible hats (from Australia)
Torches
VSSL survival kit (cool, but not all that practical?)
Multitool
Every sort of USB type cable
2 iPods… one with our entire music/talking book library, the other with our film library (hundreds of films… but neither are in Faraday bags)
Monocular
Sun visor:-
More spare glasses/sun/night glasses
Seat belt cutter/glass breaker
Trunk (which again is tiny on the Jimny, but this all goes in there!):-
Off-road gear…
Tow straps, snatch straps, ground anchor, come-along, Warn winch, various attachment straps and bits, collapsible spade, hydraulic jack, Bug Off winch, tyre chains for front wheels (I don't have space for all 4 wheels!).
2 collapsible camping stools with bags underneath
One has full tool kit, big waterproof solar charger/inverter,
The other has change of clothing, emergency tent, collapsible bucket, dog's bug out bag (food, bowls etc), camp cooker, emergency food (not much, but could probably survive 3 days?)
Get Home bag for two, which is pretty comprehensive!
Better First Aid Kit
1 gallon gas (Jimny does 40mpg, so that is more than enough since I never run down to below half?)
What I want to add?
Satellite communication/GPS (but at least I have a Ham radio)
Night vision stuff
Water… for some reason, I only add water when I go somewhere… should have it permanently there?
Love your channel, and particularly want to see your 'dog' Bug out bag… mine is a bit basic, just bowls and food…
Love the video, only question I have is, it seems like the knives and axe under the seats are just kind of sitting there. Have you found any kind of under seat storage system that keeps them anchored in place?
I recently moved them under my bed cover in quick grips
I keep my truck set up potty close to the same way. Most items are inside and when I travel I have a big tool box and impact setup with heavy navy the I tiedown in my bed.
Looking forward to dog Bug Out Bag... half the stuff in my vehicle is for him!
Your vehicle kit looks pretty much exactly like mine... add a 'Come along" or hand-held Warn winch and ground anchor (only had to use it once, but there it was!), hi-viz jacket, road flares (and a distress flare), sacks to put over winch wires, Ham radio, CB (rarely used, but there if necessary), tent... and all this in a 15 year old Suzuki Jimny which got myself, my wife and my dog through the worst winter storm ever... 4 hours of terror!
Also under the front seat, I have a pair of industrial weatherproof phones which double as CB walkie talkies, made by Ulefone, in waterproof Faraday bags... it is beginning to sound like I am paranoic?

first time viewer, and just subscribed. Great content.
Leatherman raptors shears are some of the best I have ever used. make sure you buy Vintage Gerber knives.
Is the whole bed of your truck encased and protected? Are you ever worried about someone breaking into it?
You should be careful with those lithium batteries sitting in the heat of your car. They can explode or catch fire if it's hot enough. Otherwise great video. Some of the things I would probably just keep a full sized version of like the blankets and towels. Portable ones are nice though.
Thanks for checking it out
My car gets baked every day. I can't keep anything with batteries in it.
Found this channel today. Good stuff man! 🇺🇲
Welcome aboard!
Hey I just came across your Channel I have watched a few of your videos and really like them I'm looking for a storage container to put in the back of my truck I don't have a lot of money to spend on one but what do you recommend my truck has a cover on it
Practical, to the point. Good stuff sir.
Great video. How did you mount the fire extinguisher?
Zip ties around the base of the seat that slides. That way it goes forward and backward when passengers adjust the seat
Looks like you have everything covered, great video 👍
I had an OEM cig lighter put in that 12v in the center console. I don’t smoke but never use that 12v. Same truck and it has way too many 12v and usb lol.
Once I bought a Wavien metal (Jerry) can I’ve never even looked at a plastic gas can again. I carry one inside my Jeep Wrangler and there is absolutely ZERO gas fumes. Now I have five!
OMG! That Truck, is a «Million-Dollar Baby»!🥰
Just found your channel Devil Dog! New subscriber and love what you are doin with all your content!
Excellent video. Adding a few things to my ride from this
Thanks much.
This is great and everything. But you only have metric sockets so what if you need standard sizes bolt/nuts??
I should be fine. My GMC is metric with the exception of the axel.
Semper fi Brother! Great Channel!
I run a Decked truck bed drawer system, and it holds everything I'd need in a secure waterproof setup. Having axes, ammo boxes, machetes, etc, in the cab is a bad idea if you're in an accident..
New to your channel, and recently subscribed. Love your videos man.
Hi, can you tell me where to find those visor pen/pencil clips you’ve got? Thanks! Battalion?
,
Where did you get the zippo lighter case? It looks great for attaching to gear or a belt.
It's linked up below the video in the description.
Late to the game comment... But nice videos my man, keep it up. Somewhat off topic question if you or anyone happens to see this. But what kinda watch is that? Ticwatch PRO 3 GPS?
Ticwatch Pro 2020. Thanks again
Awesome video! Whats the link for the medical bag in the center console??
Here you go amzn.to/3r4fJ3B
just found this video today and loved the content, i subscribed. if you still need a recommendation for good jumper cables, the walmart ones have been good for me i have 3 pairs in 3 of my vehicles, the everstart 20ft 4gauge ones are the ones i use
Thanks for checking me out brother
Great video! Thanks for sharing and giving me new ideas for my truck EDC.
Great set-up. Great ideas - thanks for sharing!
thanks for the good ideas. i am still trying to get my truck edc set
That Gerber knife also has the two holes on the finger guard so you can tie it to a stick and make a spear, but you probably knew that. ;-) . Great set up. Makes me feel like I haven't done enough, and yet I have a lot of the same kind of stuff you do.
You have probably done tons sir. Thanks much
Those clips in sun panel leave marks or grooves?
Glad the battalion is growing!!!
Let me add.. the "pocket trash" i do carry.. and its not for any other reason than to barter with as i ultimately dont care which i have and what it is (coin. Bar, etc) is a 1oz piece of silver. I ha e used it a few times in my live (Hurricane irma, earthquake, the texas ice storm (zero electricity for over a week).
What is the brand of the solar charger you keep in the car
these videos are mad entertaining
OUTSTANDING!!!!! Semper Fi my Brother!!
Love the video man. Very comprehensive.
No problem. I hope you enjoy the rest of the content
Hey man where could I get some of those safety glasses?
Great content man! You got a sub from me! Stay safe! Times are crazy! Oh, and most importantly, thank you for your service 🙏
Consider securing anything in the cab. Saw a kid get killed by his subwoofer box in a car accident.
Good eye. My speakers are strapped in and everything on top is getting velcro installed
@@MarineX Great videos man. I would like to see your vehicle tool kit. I am looking to build one for my truck.
@@readyme sounds good. I'll go for it. Soon to come on that video
Great comment.
Must have had some killer sound ....
Very thoughtful setup man. Got my sub.
What's the brand/name of the sub box under the rear seat?
about that Guerber machete, I had one like that, bought it from Home Depot I can tell you it is a crap...I used it to cut son branches from a mango tree, and had to toss it when i finished the work , so bad still. the blade was all twisted.
Great set up bro!!
Maybe I missed it. Do you have some type of crowbar? Nice video
It's in my vehicle vehicle tool edc. Check it out here th-cam.com/video/G080uqojnwI/w-d-xo.html

Look how nice and shiny new all this gear looks! Nicely manicured nails, no dirt under those nails! Hands look like they have never seen a hard day's labor......This dude is all hat, no cattle.
Hygiene is key. Good luck on your quests
