Hey guys i'm chad sanders and i'm here with black scale survival are going to talk about my personal UDC carry so we're going to talk about our personal carry EDC carry as far as the bag goes and also what we wear as clothing and what we keep in our pockets or on our belts alright so here is one of my abc bags i use a variety of shoulder bags.

This one happens to be a hidden woodsman haversack I like this one the gray color it's not very militaristic looking and it's the perfect size for actually carrying on your body one of the things that can happen is we can overload ourselves based off the size of a bag that we're carrying we tend to always fill it up no matter how big it is.

So with shoulder bags because you're coming across just one shoulder it's easy to overload and and become something that you don't want to carry so I like a size bag like this some of the features of the bag itself is a small pocket in the back wide shoulder strap detachable buckle and the good thing about haversacks is it's it's got.

A couple zippers and compartments but it's it's pretty much a main pack pouch as you can kind of throw everything into there is some dividers in it and also it does have an orange interior that really helps you to find that stuff that's down in the bottom of your bag so starting at the top and coming out I have a Israeli bandage you'll notice as we go through.

This I'm pretty keen on first-aid and buddy aid type of equipment to keep you alive so got a compression bandage there rather a Israeli bandage this is just a small ziplock bag it's got your basic first-aid stuff in it band-aids medicines some QuikClot and things of that nature it's you know not not hard to do one of the other items that I keep.

In here is a this is called an Arctic canteen cup it's a US military I like it because it's a lot narrower and easier to fit into a bag but the handle does come out and it will function to boil water in to cook your food in and things of that nature let's see what else we got I've got some more first aid materials a.

Little little first aid knife got some fire making tinder got an EpiPen this is really important if you have any kind of allergies this this may save your life one day especially out in the woods we've got a military-issue beanie keep your head warm it's very important to be able to keep your head warm got a flashlight we got the black Scout.

Survival flashlight in here I've got some cordage everybody knows what that's good for it's a very small fishing kit that I built a few years back this is actually a container for a drill bit an end tool on a milling machine and it comes open and I have all the components inside of it and then I've got some spider wire fishing line wrapped around.

It makes for a very small package and in my EDC kit you know am I gonna get a chance to fish maybe maybe not but it's such a small item that does a lot for me if I'm in a position to fish for food I have a bunch of knives so the knife I throw in here it's going to be of a high quality steel it's going to be a fixed blade of some sort and it's going to be.

Functional so it doesn't have to be this particular one which is a Chris Reeves sable is the one happens to be in there today but that really is dependent on my mood and what I want to toss in there but they're gonna have those those qualities I also normally carry a backup knife this is a mission knives titanium knife.

I like it cause it's lightweight titanium and I can actually flip this on my body and have a spare fix next up we got a space blanket these come in a variety of shapes and sizes I normally like to carry a reusable space blanket they tend to hold up better but any of this gear any of you EDC stuff is supposed to complement your skill level.

With what you can take from your environment and and fill a lot of those holes so it's not gonna be a full backpack with all your camping gear it's it's just something that will aid you in your daily life and/or an emergency situation so we got that we've got a tourniquet tourniquets are important stop the bleeding next thing got a.

Signal mirror you guys have all seen these before it's a military-issued signal mirror and a good thing about signal mirrors they are multi useful you can you know look at yourself if you need to maybe spot something somewhere you can't only get two and also for signaling that's I do carry a handgun most most of the time.

And so I'll keep some spare magazines today happens to be a star 9-millimeter sometimes it's a Glock sometimes it's a Walther it just depends on what I feel and my EDC will shift kind of kind of like a mission profile where am I gonna be what I'm gonna be doing will the weapons be useful in that situation so that kind of goes with everything a.

Folding saw and I hate to tell you guys but they don't make these anymore so if you can find one let me know this is actually Gerber folding saw but it works really really well and it's a lock lock back type of a situation there and it's small enough big enough to be useful but small enough to carry and really like these things.

Anytime I get an opportunity to find some I will pick them up what else we have water purification this is a kind of like kind of like a survival straw same principle this one actually will filter out chemicals believe it or not which is most something most of your survival strolls do not.

Deal with so got that one on more on the lines of signaling we have daytime signal here obviously another purpose of the space blanket is signaling it is orange and it is shining reflecting on the side you can make flags and things of that nature for nighttime signaling I have a set of pin flares I got these for I think 25 bucks at Cabela's you can.

Look at Cabela's or maybe Bass Pro Shops sometimes they'll carry these and it's got four flares in it so that's a very useful piece of gear I used to have a military-issued set of these but somebody named black scout got them so I've got some tincture of iodine there's multiple uses for that Hey look another knife I like knives this one happens to.

Be a Winkler belt knife and very good knife I really like it useful something you may not consider as a EDC piece of kit but being able to protect your ears in a very noise heavy environment is something that you might want to think about whether you're shooting or not just sometimes you may be in an area where the noise pollution.

Is bad and you want to protect your ears a simple sharp easy lap sharpening stone what's a sharpening rod diamond rod and if you need to because of the way it's constructed you could definitely use this as an impact weapon or even a puncture weapon another small flashlight set of EMT sheers I actually had calls to use these a couple of weeks back I.

Was the first responder on I'm not a first responder but I happened to be there in a accident on i-20 and was there until EMT arrived and for whatever reason he didn't have his shears and we used mine so some more cordage firestarters this is the Aurora Faris iam rod is self-contained it has the striker on the back of the little shroud.

Here these were designed for saltwater use because ferrous IAM and saltwater does not mix it will corrode your ferrous same rod so they made that one so I got that one set a lock picks anybody that's seen any of black Scouts videos know that we really like lock picks what else we got this is a match safe with a compass in the end of it and.

I just keep some other little tinder quick tubes and are tender quick pouches in there to get a fire started and that's about it for the Bell wait wait wait there's more this this is a ventilated operator kit this is the pocket kit that you get from Tactical Response it's got a tourniquet in it it's got a compress Gaulle's duct tape.

Some syringe and some gloves also got another fair seam rod so with that some of the things could I get rid of I don't need that many fixed blade knives I just I really don't one fixed blade would be enough to is better so three is that a little bit overkill yeah probably everything else I feel this definitely needed for carrying one of the things I.

Do have also in here is some aqua mirror tabs for water purification so if you think about it if you get access to water and you have the opportunity to boil it you'd want to boil that water first anytime you can boil you want to do that and save your other methods for maybe when you're on the move and you don't have time to stop and build a fire.

And Bowl the water the straw you can use almost anywhere but you're kind of stuck with water you can access with the straw so using conjunction get your water with your container then use your straw or vice versa so there's that alright just in case you guys thought we were done we're not I'm gonna talk about real quick clothing and.

Pocket items so my clothing I tend to dress for the environment you don't have to always wear tactical gear you don't always wear camping gear but your clothing should serve the purpose of keeping you warm and dry and in the summertime keeping you cool as possible so your clothing should reflect that shemagh has a bunch of different always.

Wear one but today it's cold and I'm trying to keep my neck warm shoes wear shoes that you can run in that you can hike in and that are appropriate for your environment don't you know don't walk around a combat boot if if the environment does not suited for that pocket items another flashlight this one happens to be the tactician by.

Surefire I keep a automatic knife this is a micro tech large UDT switch over this is a spartan sever tech it's another automatic one thing to be concerned with in automatics and you know a little PSA for you sometimes if you push the button that thing doesn't open you need to change out your springs or store it away and get you a fixed.

Blade because the last thing you want to use in a self-defense scenario is a knife that when you push the button does not open so keep that in mind I usually carry a couple lighters with me a couple big lighters and some litter and that's about it so pocket carry not that much the bag allows me to to take the load off and put it somewhere and pick it up.

Putting the vehicle we can kind of go overboard with our survival gear I know that what I like to do is have an EDC that if I get into a vehicle and I have maybe some water another coat and a sleeping bag I've got a go kit for my car I don't have to have replicas of everything everywhere I go this will complement and take care of the basic.

Needs and then I can plus up that with a bigger pack or the vehicle thanks for watching the video guys and post the comments and we'll be sure to talk to you thanks
