Finally someone who is not only doing a UK-centric EDC but also using common sense as to what to include. Too many EDC fans seem to hope they'll need to become Rambo one day, rather than simply having to sort a mundane problem by having a realworld solution to hand. The only other bits I have in my urban kit are a couple of individualy sealed compressed towel tablets and I also favour the KableCARD - whilst the overall footprint is larger, it is thinner and less chunky, so I can fit it into my mini pouch. One last comment, as you have mentioned the Topo Design Accesory pouch (micro) is now impossible to get in the UK and the EU; however, the replacement idea (Alpaka) is also proving to be problematic and the seller you link to wants to charge nearly the same price as the pouch for postage! If anyone has any other suggestions, UK based, with a similar footprint, it would be great to hear them! Keep the great work - excellent delivery, information and channel.

Agree it's good to see a UK focused kit with everyday issues dealt with rather than frirearms and huge blade focus (both of which we cannot carry in the UK). With regard to the pouch have a look at Aiguille Alpine Equipment they are based in UK/Cumbria and produce v high quality kit. Acrylic canvas pouches or their Contour bag are around the size of the Topo/Alpaka. If you want to combine town and country gear with a small sol bivvy and a plastic sheet as a tiny tarp then we use the Marsupium as there's enough room for kit to walk from London to get home (although not the best night you'll spend out under the stars)

For the battery it may be 3350mAh but one important note. They are not 100% efficient at transfering power (more like 80% often) so you really get about 80% of that total power
@Tokody
Жыл бұрын
it's actually worse than that because the mAh rating is the capacity of the (typically) 3.7V cell inside. The powerbank converts that 3.7V to the 5V output (trading mAh for Volts) so you're at 74% but due to the efficiency of the conversion process you only get 80% of that. So you're actually at around 60% of the 'capacity' of the powerbank. Note: When the powerbank charges your phone/device you get back from the conversion from 5V down to 3.7V but then you have the efficiency of the conversion, say 80% again, and you still end up around 60% end to end.

As a smoker and an outdoor enthusiast i can tell you the difference between Bic and Clipper. BIC are much more reliable the clippers in terms of a firemaker. There thousands of not well manufactured clippers out there. They got problems with the valve etc. In an urban environment this is not a problem, actually i'm using clippers in the city because of the mentioned pros in the comments before. BUT in the Wild is BIC the better choices. The guaranty of 3000 flame strike and the valve are much better and much more resistant because of the parts used to produce them.

Really great and sensible kit as usual, you’re an inspiration as you’re always knocking these things out of the park. For plastic sleevs in my kit I use Dragon Shield sleeves, they’re meant for card games like Pokemon or Magic the Gathering snd should be found in most stores that sells board games. They’re pretty durable and come in like 20 different color (transparent front and solid colored back) which is useful for color coding inside your kit. They come in boxes of 100 sleeves, usually meant to sleeve up an entire deck of cards but for EDC purposes it will last you a long time.

Have you ever considered putting together a modular kit? An urban EDC kit which goes into the travel pouch, which goes into the backpacking or hiking pouch? Seems to me it would save a great deal of duplication, I have a small city EDC minipouch which I use a lot, but of course a lot of the items in there are also in a couple of other pouches that I use for motorcycle touring / camping. So I figured out a modular system as above but I’d be really interested in seeing your take on it.

@@JonGadget It should be ok as long as you pull quickly, don’t squeeze too much before pulling, and pull perpendicular to the skin. The last one is the most important as people pulling at a bad angle seems to be the most common failure when using tweezers. I used to use a dedicated tick remover but have found tweezers to be more effective when used correctly. The Victorinox tweezers are fairly sharp though and are more difficult, so perhaps maybe even just carrying a pair of mini tweezers that are more blunt could be most effective as I personally would prefer those over the tick remover you added now, although it’s certainly still a fine option.

They are sold on Amazon & cost $16.90 for two plus shipping ( includes 3*LR41 button batteries in the torch & adds 6pcs standby batteries as an extra gift) I carry the Manager in the ticket pocket of my jeans & use the flashlight with its Carabiner hook & chain as a lanyard for the knife .

As a retiree in the US, I’m usually traveling with my car. I’ve combined your EDC and travel carry essentials in one kit that rides in my day bag, ready to grab if I’m going to be away from the car, or in my luggage if traveling by other means. I carry some things in your kits separately in my day bag. Meds, for instance, go in a separate med box, as I carry several days of my prescriptions as well as OTC meds. I also have a separate boo-boo kit, having grandkids, with bandaids, moleskin, antiseptic, insect sting wipes, etc. I also have a small trauma kit, actually several in my day bag, vehicle and hiking gear.

A water bottle. A notebook and calculator and a pencil case (with a few pencils a sharpener a rubber a 6" ruler scissors and a few biros). Finally my portable chess set. I might carry a torch with me during winter. For minor cuts a hanky will work until the bleeding stops. I carry a Victorinox penknife in my pocket with a lanyard looped round a trouser belt loop to keep it secure but to be honest I only ever seem to use the toothpick when I am out and about and the tin opener at home.

Yes, it is bigger, but it does layout flat. It will provide for a larger power bank (the hardest thing to fit into Topo. One suggestion that I have in my bag is a micro fiber cloth for cleaning glasses/electronics. They are very small and do a better job than my shirt tail. You're videos are addictive. Well done.

Rather than a battery I carry a small usb charging plug (EU size - so a bit smaller) - it can charge my iPad in a pinch, and when I had a power bank it would always be out of power when I needed it the most. If you're on a budget Amazon has "case4life" tool packs which are only 9 euros for three different sizes. The smallest works great.

Also I prefer duck tape but gorilla tape works also might also use bracelet made of paracord 550 that can also be used as a pace ranger and you can add a little compass on the bracelet and ferro rod to start fire. Your tie wraps are totally useless in case you did not know it needs to be solid and hold something yours hold nothing.

thanks for the suggestions - ferro rod probably not needed for urban kit - different for outdoor kit - not sure what you mean about tie wraps - used one today!

You can make a v notch in any card [e.g. the magnifier, a credit card, ect.] and use it to remove ticks. Costs nothing and can be a part of other item.

I think you could also use an exacto knife and cut a narrow 1cm notch in one end of your fresnel lens and that would double as a tick remover right there. Don't think it would hamper the usability of the lens much.

Brillant kit, Thank you, only item I would change is remove the plastic tie from the BIC lighter and add a rubber O-ring, which you a=can use over and over...

I’ve been carrying around Bics in my pockets for decades and never had any problems so the zip-tie and o-ring are not necessary.

@@JohnFourtyTwo Yes, in your pocket their OK, but packed in a backpack something may get pushed down on top of it expelling gas and then you would have an empty BIC.

You mention nano cord. Have you tried 275 paracord? 125kg breaking strain. 2.4mm thick. Four strands. It is half the weight of 550 cord so can carry twice as much. It is bulkier than nano cord but it’s a lot easier to untie and reuse.

Personally I was looking for some thing with about 5000 mA that is extremely thin so that I could put one inside of a similar small wallet sized case the way that you have yours and I found one on Amazon that is really thin for 5000 mA hour battery. It has three outputs and one of the outputs is even USB-C! Usually they have just the USB-C to charge it up fast but this one has a USB-C for an output as well +2 USB a outputs. I haven’t bought one yet but it’s called Attom Tech. It may be less reliable than an Anker or Nitecore since it’s an unknown brand but it has 4.5 S꙰T꙰A꙰R꙰S꙰ on Amazon.

Not trying to be critical, but the Bic lighter is not going to accidentally light. Both of my parents smoked their entire levels, all of my grandparents smoked their entire lives. All of them used Bic lighters. Every single one of them frequently had to strike the lighter multiple times to get a light. It's not because they were out of practice.

I should note that you can use your iphone for more than adequate magnification - it's actually really good for this (all smartphones are), they can also be used to detect infra-red signals coming from remotes if you aren't sure if the remote is working. On the power bank - have you ever tried to find a flat one? I've been considering assembling an EDC kit but wider, flatter and thinner (so it would suit a trouser leg or jacket pocket better without bulge) - was thinking of one of those folio cases as you would have once seen for surgical instruments but haven't really found one I liked.

Terrific video! I've already started gathering the various items. ;-) Here in the U.S., a few things are sold out or not in stock, but I'm sure there are good alternatives. By the way, good camera work and audio on your content. I'm not a gadget/EDC expert by any means, but I've directed numerous corporate videos and I currently work in the VO field. Unlike some KZitem folks, your editing is very good, and the audio is also excellent. Wish that more folks followed your example. ;-) All the best from Washington, DC!
