    URBAN EDC BACKPACK (3.0) - PART 2:
    goo.gl/MQ9bmW
    The items in my Every Day Carry Backpack were selected to suit my needs as an urban commuter. I work in downtown Seattle in the software engineering field, so many of the items included are used with this career in mind. There are not a lot of items that one might see in a backpack tailored for a rural environment, however I still do carry certain emergency preparedness items that I feel are universal to both urban and rural kits.
    I feel that an EDC backpack should “compliment” ones personal EDC (aka, "the stuff you carry in your pockets") and not necessarily to provide 1-to-1 redundancy matching. For example, I carry a multi-tool as part of my EDC. Rather than include a second multi-tool in my EDC backpack, I’ve chosen to include other tools such as a multi-bit screwdriver, adjustable wrench and precision cutting blade. Another example is for illumination. Rather than include a larger flashlight in my backpack, which costs money and might not ever be used since I already EDC one, I have included illumination gear that compliments my flashlight (e.g., small lantern, magnetic work light).
    As always, this “version” of my EDC Backpack is a timestamp of what it looks like today. Tomorrow, I will probably have many a minor changes to it. I am in a constant and never ending search to create the perfect gear setup for “me”. It will never be achieved, as my needs and mindset are constantly shifting. I believe that your gear setup should constantly evolve over time, to avoid becoming stagnant or obsolete. “Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still.” ~Chinese Proverb
    In an effort to maximize the organization of the supplies in my EDC Backpack, I use specific color coordination for the various modules included in this bag. These colors were determined based on the results of a survey I conducted on TH-cam called “The Color Of Prepping”. By labeling and color coordinating the various modules based on the majority of peoples most likely color association, I believe that this will aid someone to quickly find a particular item in the EDC Backpack by instinct during an emergency situation.

    I just wanted to say this is by far one of the most thorough EDC Setup's I've seen on youtube, and although we do not share the same line of work I absolutely love the organization and the thought process behind. I just started looking into this whole EDC thing and I love looking at what other people have and how they carry it. As for the PDF's, that is just going above and beyond. I rarely type out comments, but felt obligated because of the work, dedication and passion you share for this community. I want you to know it doesn't go unnoticed and that it is truly appreciated. Your insight has been extremely helpful, and much of what you said will go into account when I make my own. Thank you again!

    I have settled on my favourite youtube prepper, thank you very much for your time and effort and organizational skills. You are the best bar none. Going to have to look at what a rural backpack may look like. I go home to my parents house, I am at my girlfriends, on campus. I have so many different environments to think of and not the kinda cash you older guys have to pay for it all. Oh well, just got to do the best with what you got.

    I've also discovered it's best to have everything in modules for efficient storage. I enjoyed this video and it gave me some ideas. Thanks.

    @hot2warm 9 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I suggest the Res Q Me tool be on your ignition key (if your car requires an ignition key). In an accident, the bag may be knocked from the seat and the tool inaccessible and/or out of reach. The ignition switch is right at hand on the dash or steering column.

    Cliff, I have always enjoyed your videos. I really appreciate how easy you make it to follow with PDFs. I'm a FF and I bought the Vanquest Trident 20 a few weeks ago, off of your recommendation. It works great as my "ditty bag" I carry on the fire truck with me. It is just the right size to carry all of the extra gear I have. Thanks for all of the great videos.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fifteen Buckeye Thank you so much! I am glad that they have been useful to you. The Trident 20 is a great bag. I like that it forces me to scale down what I carry due to its size. It makes my overall backpack weight much lighter than it was before.

    This is a great video with lots of great stuff. It's cool to see your use of the Vanquest organizer and the TRIDENT-20 backpack. This is one of my personal favorite backpacks. I tend to switch back and forth between the TRIDENT-20 and the FALCONER-27 more than any other bags that I own.

      Bugging out means to most people is fuck you jack I'm alright.
      If anyone has been in a situation where society breaks down I would say carry plenty of ammo
      And feed yourself with with what you can steal.
      Survival has become a business .
      This is fairytale land.
      In 1929 did you know 85% of livestock was wiped out of the Yellowstone park.
      Bearing in mind the USA had population of 76 million.
      If you want to learn lessons of survival go Japanese where a beaten population was nuked.
      But I'm not anti prepping just a realist.
      If you want to survive bug in,prepare with food water and a will to live.
      Peace to all.

  • @Whoozerdaddy
    @Whoozerdaddy 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    As always, Cliff, thanks for a great video. So thorough and thought-provoking. One thing made me scratch my head then chuckle when I figured it out was the "ginger" craft scissors. When I saw the logo on the sheath, I knew you had an excellent pair of scissors made by Gingher [pronounced GING-er, with hard G's like "gingham"]. Those are indeed a favorite among crafters everywhere, not to mention quilters, tailors and seamstresses. Excellent choice.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Whoozerdaddy Thanks for the clarification! I should have researched how to pronounce the scissors. Dang! Mr. MonkeyMan50 originally recommended these to me several months back, and they are AWESOME!

  • @magi1969
    @magi1969 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video again. Ok, I dislike paracord, especially braided. Cord is for everyday use, so it doesn't make sense to braid it up; just today I used my cord loop to get water from a river with a bucket to water my field. Last time, to hang some stuff to take photos - cord is for countless uses. BD carabiner - I've had exactly same ones for years for carrying misc stuff; not person-bearing, but smaller than certified ones, I usually carry at least one wire-gate climbing carabiner. The wrench looks a bit large, but I've too noticed that a medium wrench is often needed for many things from bike repair to attaching a laundry machine.

  • @rojo2017
    @rojo2017 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great vid!
    FYI TIP for everyone: Whether you have an EDC, Go, Bug Out or Get Home bag - you ALWAYS NEED to add/make a small (multi-function) low-profile cover for it. Under "some" (public, adverse or Grey Man, Urban) circumstances, you don't want to overtly paint a target on your back for the opportunist or criminal that can easily identify an "expensive goodie bag" from 100" away. Think about it...
    Just looking out for you bro. As always, Keep up the good work!

  • @lambing50

    Love your videos Urban Prepper. They really apply to me and the situations I find myself in.
    and can relate to a lot of your choices for EDC. I think your the best prepper on you tube.

  • @johntedonneraipasmonnom713
    @johntedonneraipasmonnom713 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm impressed of how MUCH stuff you have with you all the time...
    I really think that in an urban environment you do not need all of that at all. For me, a EDC consists in a wallet, keys, phone, 1 small multi-tool or Swiss army knife and maybe a flashlight. That's it and this is all you need in a city.
    But you seem to be a big stuff lover and that's cool. :)

  • @duncanfield9372
    @duncanfield9372 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dude, your organisation is next level. Well thought out, and the attention to detail in your preps, vids and pdfs is excellent.
    Only issue I'd have with this set up is the water bottle flapping/swinging about on that grimlock. It would drive me nuts. I'd have to attach a bottle holder to the webbing on the side of the pack, but that's just me.
    Subscribed. Well done. Carry on.

    • @TUKByV
      @TUKByV 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      He should be able to keep that bottle from swinging with a little bit of shock cord.

  • @williamlogue
    @williamlogue 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this pack. I originally had a standard style of bag, various makes, and was always frustrated at having to dump it out to find an item that inevitably would be at the bottom. I seen this video, and ordered the vanquest trident gen 1, with ccw holster, and extra dividers. I also ordered the quarter cubes from another vendor. While my loadout Is different then yours, I followed your style. Absolutely love the system. Thanks for producing such great content and showing us the gear you use.

  • @livingsurvival
    @livingsurvival 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Great video and showing lots of possibilities. Only thing I would recommend would be to put your nitrile gloves in a pouch (maxpedition makes one) or loksak to prevent punctures. One hole and you might as well not even use them.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Living Survival Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to do that.

    • @TheMountainRN
      @TheMountainRN 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's why i switch my gloves to the dollars store dish washing gloves. They could be use for other use then medical ( riots for example) and can be reuse if need be ( by disinfecting them. And since you won't need the dexterity to start IV or anything the thickness is actually a plus not a minus 8)

    • @LogicBob
      @LogicBob 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      TheMountainRN That's a good idea. I was going to suggest he keeps the gloves with the tourniquet. If you need the tourniquet, you'll definitely need the gloves and you'll need them fast! Also, check out ITS Tactical's channel for the "flat fold" method of packing that Sof-T Wide.

  • @kevinsilguero9113
    @kevinsilguero9113 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    just a suggestion, maybe keep those latex gloves in the pocket with the tourniquet. In case of a emergency you'll have everything right there.

    When I first saw the Trident I didn't care for it, but when I bought it from their fire sale, it was love at first sight when I got my hands on it and realized just how freaking flexible it was. I am jealous that you got two rings on the shoulder strap tho', lol

  • @RandomButtonPusher
    @RandomButtonPusher 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great presentation. Thanks for introducing me to that Vanquest pack. Nice organizational pocket design. As others have noted, it would be good to put your nitrile gloves, mouth shield and tournaquit all in the same pocket for efficiency in a first aid situation. Looking forward to Part 2.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Random Button Pusher Thanks for watching. Yeah, I will move them to the same location as the other Trauma items. Makes sense. I originally found that top webbing to perfectly store them, but I agree. They should all be in the same location.

    • @RandomButtonPusher
      @RandomButtonPusher 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      BTW, I love packing cubes, too. Now you have me thinking about color coding for contents. When traveling, I usually use sets matched to the luggage to keep my stuff separate from my wife's stuff. Sure makes packing go faster.

    Hi! I really enjoyed this video, although I do have a really small suggestion: at one point you mentioned the glasses cleaning cloth is good for the camera as well as glasses. I'd suggest having a cleaning cloth for glasses, and one for the camera. If you use one for both, something could scratch the camera lens or glasses. I need to start actually putting together a kit like this myself, thanks for all the effort you put into these videos!

    Hey, great video with great information. If I could give one friendly suggestion though, As a Firefigher and EMT, i would recommend trading your CPR mouth barrier for a CPR "Pocket Mask". They offer a better seal for giving respirations, but most importantly, they offer a one-way valve that keeps from body fluids going into your mouth. Something they don't teach you in CPR class.... cardiac arrest victims will often exit blood, vomit or other fluids during CPR. Just a real would tip.

    Very nice, I'm really enjoying your videos. A thought, most people suggest including a sharpie marker and it's always black. I also include a silver paint sharpie as well, in case what I'm writing on is black or very dark. Silver and gold are readily available, white can be had for a price. I saw the section where you were packing maps, almost everyone includes a compass in some capacity, I think yours was the first I've seen that includes maps. I also make extensive use of my smart phone and have several apps for navigation with locally cashed maps, I like Garmin U.S.A. with the entire US cached. I have several Topo Map Apps I'm playing with, where I've cached Texas. I'm looking forward to your smartphone apps video, if it has not been done or seeing it if it has been.

    Great video! You always do a good job! Just a minor side point that caught my attention.....you mentioned the Rescue Me would be easily accessible if needed? Well there is a good possibility that unless you secure it to the seat, that in a situation where you need to extricate yourself......it might not be. Funny things happen in wrecks and things get thrown about. I am not bad mouthing you cause you are always so thruough and do such a Great job on your review I was just wondering if you had ever considered that? Maybe having an additional one attached to the visor or dash in easy reach would be a good addition?

    • @RonBach
      @RonBach 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. As an EMT I've seen my share of car accidents and unless its nailed down it moves and things end up all over the place. Definitely consider putting it on your key ring for your car keys.

    I would totally go crazy if I would attach my Watherbottle like this, having it bouncing and swinging around all the time when I'm on the move D:
    At least for me, that isn't the way to go... I'm going by Bike and Public Transport (or foot) a lot (Cause I have no car or something :D) and it would just... no. just no :D

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Totally understandable. It doesn't really bother me that much, but I originally thought it would. I find that it mainly sits in my car cup holder or on my desk at work. I don't really like externally mounted bottle holders. Hopefully Vanquest will add a bottle pocket in the next version. :)

    • @Asathor456
      @Asathor456 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On the other hand there are SO many attachable Bottle Holders that are not very expensive...
      But Yes, If you just have your bag going from your house into the car and from the car to the office and back... I gues in this case it wouldn't bother me either

    Given the critical state of NorthKorea can you do a video on things to stocking he event of war. Not so much for survival as for items that will become hard to get. Food, Toilet Paper and condiments are some thing that come to mind . Do you still have caches of items?

  • @jasonhoyt8232
    @jasonhoyt8232 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent kit. I didn't see any pocket knife in here. Did I overlook it? Or are you using the multi-tool as an alternative? If so, what made you choose that instead of a pocket knife like a Swiss Army knife?

  • @warspork5928
    @warspork5928 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow. Just: wow. EDCing is a science and you, sir, are Einstein😄 I've stolen many of your ideas before and I'll keep doing it as long as you keep making videos!
    Instead of carrying gum or mints, have you considered xylitol in gum or tablet form? Protects the teeth instead of damaging them. My three kids (now in their teens) have NEVER had a single cavity and they were brought up on the stuff. Dunno about availability though. Should be well known among health savvy Americans. You can get in ny grocery store here in Finland.

  • @mikeb5748
    @mikeb5748 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great bag layout. I appreciate your organization and the PDF, I am politely and unashamedly going to use some of it for my own!
    Also a thought, if you work in a building with more than 2 stories do you have a small "get down/get out" of the building cache? Perhaps a length of rope long enough to get down, a heavy duty carabiner, and a swiss seat rope? Maybe some leather gloves? It may be too much prepping to think about it, but as a former PNW'er if you working in a high rise, I suspect that the ways down may become blocked. Of course this won't work if your on the 5th floor or higher but it's a thought. A concept I am mulling over aside from an EDC is a GTW and GH bag. A bag to get to work, and a bag to get home. Perhaps a bit costlier than a single bag but less of a pain to carry.
    Again great video, well organized, edited and filmed. I appreciate it all.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      M Ba Good idea on the rope! I will need to look into that. Do you have a recommendation on something climbing worthy but still affordable/lightweight?

    • @mikeb5748
      @mikeb5748 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheUrbanPrepper Wow I opened a barrel of worms with that descent comment. There are all kinds of super expensive emergency descent kits out there. Large crane operators, tower workers, etc. Those kits are rated for about 10 or less descents before they may become unusable. First find out how high up you are in your office. Less than 60 feet up I would go with surplus Army rappel rope. Lots of online surplus stores have it and for a 120 foot roll its about 100 dollars. Pricey but research climbing rope and the price goes up considerably. So if you tie off the rope securely and you have it doubled, you should have enough rope to descend 50 feet. It's rated for single line use but I would double it for a safer, more controlled descent. Do not buy a hip harness for this, make a swiss seat (www.wikihow.com/Tie-a-Swiss-Seat-Rappel-Harness) and have a large descent carabiner. You could use your gloves from your EDC or buy a pair of leather gloves. Also remember you are just going down the rope, unfortunately there isn't a way to untie it from the bottom.
      If you are higher than 50-60 feet then you might want to get with your employer about the company purchasing the larger emergency descent kits, they have some that are rated to 1000 feet out there but effectively out of the normal persons budget.
      With the big earthquake "problem" in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area that was recently on the news, getting your employer to buy into some emergency training/supplies might be a good option.

    if the gloves main purpose is the be used with the first aid then you should consider putting them in a ziplock bag for sanitation.

    3:34 For easier/faster access, have you considered having the pepper spray attached to one of the shoulder straps, in the front (instead of the side of the bag)?
    10:12 How about including a pair of nitrile gloves?
    12:40 Oh, ok; here they are :-) Just a quick question: why not keep them in the same compartment as the other quick access first aid items (CPR shield & tourniquet)?
    10:16 There's a new -it's actually been around since 2008- "CPR" method that foregoes the breathing part. From what I've read, continuous higher frequency compressions should suffice - the oxygen already in the blood apparently is enough for the first few minutes, until the ambulance arrives.
    12:53 Hmm... I would've expected to find the business card holder in one of the pockets/sleeves of the admin compartment.
    13:36 Wow! The access to those modules seems to be very easy!
    I carry a sling bag; inside I keep a small umbrella, a face towel, my compact camera, and two large pencil cases (one for tools and one for medicine & first aid items). The problem with my setup is that the only item that's readily accessible is the case closest to the zipper; if I need to reach for any of the other ones, I have to remove everything that's on the way :-/
