    Yes. Do EDC first aid. I’m a doctor and have been trying to think through this for my own carry. Definitely a danger of “too far/much,” but having a paramedic discuss thoughts would be great.
  • @maxlvledc
    2 recommendations: for Jamie a stack of "Tough Notes" would be very very useful to him. Also 6" tape measure..surprisingly helpful.
  • @Bruce_S
    Nice EDC! My grandfather used to cut his nails with a pocket knife. He tried to teach me to do it when I was 5, but it scared me and I gave up. 61 years later, I tried it again and it still scares me. I'll stick with the nail clippers, lol
  • @michaeljdauben
    I loved the back and forth between the two of you about what you carry and why. I also think your point about making your EDC kit your own and not just copying someone else's choices is important.
  • As a fellow photographer and edc guy, im a big fan. I found white gaff tape is nice to have with a mini sharpie. So good for labeling things on the go.
  • @wb5jysman
    I work in the oil field. I fly in helicopters to work. My kit has literally everything. Small binoculars. Compass. Full first-aid kit. OTC med bag. Anker 20,000 battery with any cord you could think of. It's really just too much to list. I can't carry a knife though 😢. But I do have great scissors in my bag. Pockets I carry the olight 1REOS, Gerber Shard. Mr green clippers and a TEC titanium tape. I've been a EDC guy all my life. I didn't even know it had a name tell a few years ago. This was the first video I've seen of yalls. Definitely subscribed! But really though, everyone that knows me calls me MacGyver or Go Go Gadget.
  • Would absolutely love to see an EDC first aid video, especially from a practicality standpoint.
  • @MichaelB2L
    An EDC first aid kit video would be great especially with Jamie’s experience and knowledge. Nail clippers are never out of reach. I put together an extended EDC kit recently in a Maxpedition Janus pouch. Feel so much more comfortable and prepared having it in by backpack. I add a strap to so it can carried separately.
  • @corbey50
    Thanks you guys. I realized I need something like this when I had to leave home last February during an ice storm with the power out and tree limbs falling on my roof. Most of ideas for go bags I found online were pretty extreme, but the videos you've done recently have made realize that I need to put something together. Even if it's not perfect, at least I'll have a bag to grab in an emergency.
  • I travel extensively with my nail care Swiss Card and have never had a problem with TSA. Great job guys!
  • Keys, wallet, phone, watch, knife, multitool, flashlight, pen, handkerchief, pistol, extra mag, compressed gauze, all on my body or in a Maxpedition pouch that fits in a cargo pocket. Have a backpack with lots more in the car.
  • @ayubjamil2615
    nice edc jamie. got a big tip by a friend. i used to wrap duct tape on lighter too, its actually better to wrap on an old plastic card. If you finish up a lighter, you don't have to discard the unused tape
  • OMG, YES!!! A first aid kit video by a professional would be amazing! You will get a million views on it just from me watching it over and again!
  • @tedgorman12
    Being a total corporate desk jockey, I absolutely love watching these videos to see how the other half lives… clearly there could be some security safety issues, but I would love the idea of having a giveaway for the 150k subscriber mark where you allow a viewer to spend a weekend with Jamie, Zac (and maybe Ben?) bumping around, doing whatever the heck you guys do on a weekend that could lead one to use all the stuff in your edc packs! It would be a total eye opener for someone like me and a dream come true for others with lives more similar to yours! Charge on, gents!
  • Jaime PLEASE give us a first aid video! I'd love to hear your 2 cents on what's practical to carry as well as potential recommended courses to take so i can be as useful as the tools i carry!
  • @Johonavich49
    What Jamie had to say about the leather man, I was a bit surprised! I believe a leatherman should be carried on a working man at all times. Very useful. If you don’t want it in your pocket, then get a holster and put it on your belt! The battery pack is large. But I understand that it comes in handy for someone who works with a laptop. And it’s handy to charge a phone or ear buds, etc. but for the average joe, a smaller battery, like a pocket juice, is fine. I personally carry smaller edc items. I bought the knops bit driver. Honestly, I’m not working with computers or setting up film equipment normally. I haven’t used this tool, and I’ve been carrying it for almost two weeks now! If it came with a Phillips that would be nice. And if it had a pocket clip. Good video! Thanks guys!

    I feel like I tell you this on every other video but i love your channel and love your enthusiasm. I just reorganised my EDC bag two days ago, and your videos helped me a lot, I live in Slovenia and work as a live sound engineer and people here do not carry knives that much for some reason but they always ask to borrow mine and same goes for multitool. I bought Knipex mini cobra because of you Zac and thought it will replace my Leatherman Sidekick since i have a knife on me anyway but it didn't, it just expanded what i can do with my EDC kit, also that video with Ben about screwdrivers helped me, can't get his screwdriver yet here but i got iFix it one and took the most useful bits and put them in, literally feel like there is nothing i cannot fix right now with it. Thank you guys for awesome tips and for actually useful info, most of those EDC kit videos are way over the top and i feel like people add stuff just because they can which is missing the point if you ask me.
