My 2024 Ultimate EDC Travel Kit

I have to say Jon that your kit videos are by far and away my favourites! I have been known to watch similar videos from others but most commit the cardinal sin of simply putting everything but the kitchen sink into one bag which makes them 1. Heavy 2. Messy and 3. Just downright impractical as I imagine the person searching for their first aid items whilst bleeding all over their 3 knives, emergency blanket, mirror and yards of cordage and the list goes on… and this in the ‘urban kit”. Of course all of these things are useful but you are one of the few who considers the context of where you’re going when you leave the house. Sure it can be more expensive to assemble a lot of kits but one may not need that many depending on their lifestyle. Anyway, all that to say great job and please keep them coming!

I like to keep my kit utensils wrapped in a napkin or paper towel held with a rubber band. I often either end up needing one when I'm eating or wrapping it around the slightly dirty utensil because I need to get going and don't have a chance to clean it right away.

Jon Gadget does it again! I always find your kits to be the most effectively equipped and so well organized. So much so I realized that many of your ideas have made it into my own kit without even realizing the inspiration. Keep up the good work!

You created The Gadget Shop and you create the gadget content I want to see on YouTube... You're as qualified as anyone in my opinion! I think the format is amazing and you're nailing it. Thank you for giving me a reason to spend my monthly disposable income 😂

That's what I call seriously organized and well thought!

I have put together emergency kits for my wife and I using items from all your kits put together in maxpedition mini pouches. Love this, thanks

Brilliant. This is very very similar to the kit I carry every day. The exception is that I can count on one hand the number of times that I've flown in my life, so airline restrictions aren't something I care about, which means my kit includes a mini Bic and some bladed tools. Great video.

Another fab edc pouch, always good quality well thought out gear. Thank you for sharing. 😊

What a nice kit. I can't imagin how much fun it is to put it together.

4th. or 34th. Depends what we're counting. At this point I feel safe clicking the LIKE before I watch the video. Thanks for the consistently great content, Jon! Let's see how many new things I buy once I've watched...

Thanks for another great upload, sir 👏🏻 Always great to watch your videos to relax for 20 minutes

I’ve always carried a “kit “ much like this, but usually kept it in my car; too large to carry on a plane, but now that I know what “MI6” is issuing to its operatives (lol) I will redesign a kit much like this one for extended travel! Thanks so much 😊!

You never fail to introduce me to something new. Again, many thanks.

Thank you Jonathan, as always great ideas, review and kit.

Love the fact that youve gone back to a head torch.

Some of your videos have proven quite useful when revising my kit that I take with me when I fly. I generally use a leatherman micro and a small spiderco knife in my kit and have only ever had them spotted in Germany, and they were allowed through no problems. Other than that I take a med pack, bigger than this one shown here, and a small molle pouch that contains paracord and a space blanket, aswell as a tabacco tin with tinder and a lighter and tea light in it. When im going further afield I take a US GI canteen (nalgene variant) with the metal cup and stove attachment. These kits have literally allowed me to repair the throttle linkage on a 60's landrover while in the mountains of colombia, sorted out situations that require immodium long enough to get from airport to hotel, and allowed me to use the paracord to improvise a washing line when I missed a flight and had to wash pants in the hotel bath! I just got some braided fishing line to replace the paracord, and im in the process of a serious medikit upgrade for in the car due to having taken up firearms shooting, so i figure I should know how to treat a bullet wound just incase. Youtube videos really do come in very helpful for finding out about gear thats useful and gleaning from other peoples good and bad experiences. Thanks for your content.!

Another brilliant kit, love this iteration Jon. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent kit, and nice job of consolidating things I have dispersed over multiple pouches. I have much the same gear, largely due to following you for a while now. I do keep a needle and thread in my kit to replace a button, or mend a small tear. I also have replaced zip ties, handy as they are, with brass wire. I can use wire to do prettier much anything I can do with zip ties, as I did before zip ties became ubiquitous. And wire has many more uses, from sewing heavy fabric to hanging a can of water over a fire.

Nice work Jon ! Big fam of Maxpedition as well 🔥

Awesome as usual Jon! So grateful for what you give us. Love your thoughtful, interesting videos. Thank you.
