Low Vis Ep. 3 goes into adding to your EDC or First line gear. So think of it as EDC+ or CCW+. Enjoy.

all right hey what's up guys so like the

0:11

title said this is going up the scales

0:14

of everyday carry now with everyday

0:17

carry we we talked about like what was

0:19

carried on body and and like how you

0:22

dress and things like that prior to that

0:25

so we want to now scale it up let's say

0:28

so let's say you take a bag to work

0:30

right and what what do you actually

0:31

carry in your bag so there are different

0:33

things that we all need to carry for our

0:36

jobs or what we need or what we want

0:39

really so if you carry a bag or you

0:41

scale up to a second layer of everyday

0:44

carry stuff um that's how I kind of look

0:46

at it so like everyday carry plus um so

0:50

when when I look at what is in there I'm

0:52

going to I'm going to say them but I'm

0:53

also going to list them down here for

0:55

you guys but I'm looking for like in my

0:58

bag right so my every carry plus now

1:01

what's in my bag so there's probably

1:03

going to be a charger uh a battery

1:06

backup uh more medical right to to round

1:09

out my medical that's on my body um

1:11

potentially some food some caffeine some

1:14

electrolytes some cash lockpicks if I

1:17

use them or if you know how to use them

1:19

headphones sunglasses or extra

1:21

sunglasses like I carry some for travel

1:23

and some that I have like in my car and

1:25

stuff so I have separate sunglasses um

1:27

then we have a notebook pens

1:30

all right hand sanitizer water bottle of

1:32

some sort wipes uh a sweater or a rain

1:36

jacket or any kind of pain medication

1:38

that you need for yourself personally so

1:40

that's kind of like what I look at as

1:42

like normal people carry stuff that's

1:44

going to happen that I I carry with me

1:47

at least so when we start with this

1:50

right and let me keep this list actually

1:51

out so when we start let's let's uh

1:54

we'll start out like in my bag right

1:56

which this bag I I've shown it before I

1:58

think uh on this channel but I I have a

2:01

black version of it that I use most of

2:03

the time I'm using the the greenish

2:05

version because it's easier for you guys

2:07

to see it and sometimes I do travel with

2:09

it so it's it is what it is but London

2:12

London Bridge trainings uh 22 L is one

2:15

of my favorites they have a 14 L that is

2:18

a little bit better for like every day

2:19

if you don't have to carry as much but I

2:21

like carrying a little bit more so I

2:23

have a larger bag now it's just it it

2:26

kind of looks like a regular backpack

2:27

the downside was that I did have to

2:29

modify it it used to have a Molly panel

2:32

right a laser cut Molly panel which I

2:34

cut off right using um thread trim

2:37

trimmers or thread Cutters or whatever

2:39

and then the same with the velcro panel

2:41

that was on the top I cut both of those

2:42

off so there's tiny remnants of them but

2:45

you have to be really close to the bag

2:46

to kind of notice it so I'm okay with

2:48

that but I cut those both off because

2:50

one I wasn't going to use them and two

2:52

they're too overt for me the color the

2:55

mass gray color it at a quick glance it

2:58

does look Tactical so it is something

3:00

that I don't want that's why I

3:02

transferred over to a black one so now

3:05

that they made it all black one when

3:06

they first came out with them they only

3:07

had this so with that we'll talk about

3:10

some of the modifications or things that

3:12

I've done to the bag other than those

3:13

two things that we talked about but also

3:15

what I carry on in in the bag so like I

3:18

said um I carry a laptop uh so I travel

3:21

with a laptop um I don't use uh like an

3:25

Apple laptop like most dudes out

3:27

there I like to game so I use a gaming

3:31

laptop so this is one of the 13-inch um

3:34

uh republic of gaming ones uh from Acer

3:37

it's fantastic gaming laptop so that is

3:41

one that I travel with I edit all these

3:43

videos on I do all my emails on I all

3:46

the work that I do on this one laptop um

3:49

I do though back it up on a terabyte or

3:54

2 tbte uh hard drive that I leave at

3:56

home um so everything that's on here

3:59

that's important at least is backed up

4:02

somewhere home uh so if for whatever

4:04

reason I do lose this get it stolen

4:07

whatever uh while I'm traveling or I'm

4:09

out and about uh it does not lose all my

4:13

stuff so almost every single time I go

4:15

on a trip which is every four or five

4:18

days uh I back this thing up on a hard

4:21

drive at home which gives me the warm

4:23

and fuzzies uh some of you guys don't

4:24

care about that stuff or some of you

4:25

guys don't have that kind of data but

4:27

that that's something that's important

4:28

to me so I do that it's something weird

4:30

but uh for those of you that have

4:32

important stuff on your laptop that may

4:34

be something you want to try so let's

4:36

move that to the side um now let's uh

4:40

let's go through it a little further

4:41

into this bigger bag area and we'll uncp

4:44

this so I can open it up all the

4:46

way now one thing I do like about this

4:49

bag is that I can open it completely

4:51

like a big clamshell um it offers some

4:54

organization but most of the time I just

4:56

throw things in like this is how it is

4:58

sometimes so here um and you know what

5:01

I'm going to change the camera angle all

5:03

right so hopefully you guys can see now

5:04

but uh in here right clam sheld open uh

5:08

very important to me is just having all

5:10

my Necessities if I have to like

5:12

organize things better I will but I'm

5:14

still trying to figure those things out

5:16

like it's an ongoing thing for me so

5:18

hopefully judge me if you will so first

5:22

thing I keep freaking wipes dude I like

5:25

to wipe my hands if I need to or wipe my

5:27

butt if I need to so I carry FL

5:30

flushable freaking

5:31

wipes man have these saved my life a few

5:34

times so something I carry with me all

5:37

the

5:38

time second thing that's really

5:39

important to me is a set of sunglasses

5:41

so in one of these magpole cases I

5:43

usually carry a set another set of

5:45

sunglasses um It's usually the one I

5:47

travel with so whenever I you see me in

5:49

a different state or whatever I'm

5:51

usually wearing these because I just

5:53

travel with them and then I put them on

5:55

when I get my rental car or whatever so

5:57

nothing crazy but that magpole case is

5:58

great for traveling um it's been awesome

6:01

for a few years now um cable for my

6:05

laptop sorry it looks like Rat's Nest

6:07

somebody's going to hate that but deal

6:09

with it um then we have uh another

6:13

magpole thingy right or case this is one

6:15

of their DACA pouches for like cables so

6:18

I use the all my cables all my little

6:20

attachments SD cards things like that I

6:23

put in here so still messing with it I

6:25

don't know if I like it yet it's kind of

6:28

like bigger than I need for what I carry

6:30

but it is it is useful but it's also not

6:33

big enough for my laptop wires so it

6:36

kind of bothers me so I want to find

6:38

something that fits all of it but isn't

6:39

ginormous so we'll see we'll see but

6:42

that's what I use right

6:44

now um I also have some Icy Hot patches

6:47

in here still I I kind of pulled uh a

6:50

portion of my upper back uh I don't know

6:52

a month ago and they're still in here

6:54

so yeah not not a thing that's normal

6:57

but it is uh Med

7:00

right so I kept I keep Medical in here

7:02

this is one of The Pimps right that are

7:03

on my website but this is the inner

7:06

portion of a pimp so it's it's without

7:08

the outer portion right now um I'm

7:10

trying to figure out a way of putting

7:12

the outer portion in here and being able

7:14

to velcro it onto this thing here

7:16

because it would be nice for it to be in

7:18

the same spot all the time so I'm still

7:19

messing with it it's an ongoing

7:23

exploration now we have on the back here

7:26

with all the dirt and and hair is

7:28

actually one of the vertex laptop

7:30

sleeves so vertex makes a laptop sleeve

7:33

that is sizable so you can like make it

7:36

larger smaller so I made it so that it

7:39

fits my laptop really nice and it

7:40

velcros in and it has Velcro on the

7:42

outside what I wanted it's exactly what

7:45

I wanted vertex good job on that one um

7:48

but it is it is super easy and the back

7:51

end of this bag does not have a laptop

7:53

sleeve so I had to get a laptop sleeve

7:56

and the vertex one is perfect it's kind

7:58

of I don't know if you guys can hear

8:00

that but it's a little bit harder it's

8:02

not as soft foam

8:05

um as some would expect it's kind of

8:07

like a more rigid foam it's really nice

8:10

so it fits the bill for me and it does

8:13

everything I need it to do the only

8:15

thing which I may do while I'm doing

8:16

this video is shift it down a little bit

8:18

I have it a little higher than the base

8:20

of this bag and um things get underneath

8:22

it which bother me so I may actually

8:24

slide it down a little further then we

8:27

look at this side all right this side um

8:29

if you've seen the previous video of

8:31

this bag you it probably hasn't changed

8:33

too much but on this bottom section I

8:36

have a few

8:37

things so I have earplugs which I use on

8:41

a normal basis right like I forget ear

8:43

proo at the range or something I have

8:45

them uh I also have Leatherman bits so

8:48

if you saw my previous video These are

8:49

the bits to the Leatherman that I carry

8:51

every day um highly recommend it if you

8:54

have the bit kit I will say this is the

8:56

one thing that TSA always wants to look

8:58

at so it is something that I've thought

9:00

about taking out but I also uh I know

9:03

exactly what it is so I just go ahead

9:04

and pull it out for them or help them

9:06

out and direct them to it because they

9:08

want to see it they it looks like

9:10

bullets um so then I have a couple

9:13

sharpies in here I think I forgot these

9:15

in here because I don't remember putting

9:16

them in there but there are a couple

9:19

Sharpies um my Lockpick Set so I like

9:24

having a nice Lockpick Set uh if you do

9:26

dabble in lockpicking this is nice to

9:29

have with a bunch of different types of

9:30

lock picks and shims as well as one of

9:34

these uh and it is really nice to have I

9:37

highly recommend

9:39

it then uh because of the covid

9:43

era that's what we're going to call it

9:45

apparently I do use one of these like

9:47

face mask things I carried it with me

9:49

for that reason at first and then I

9:51

realized like it's a really nice way of

9:54

obscuring my face if I had to uh for

9:57

whatever reason so it is there and it's

10:00

in my bag and it stays in my bag so

10:03

that's what's in this pouchy here me

10:05

throw these things back in real quick

10:07

and then cuz they're not in there any

10:08

specific order they're just in

10:12

there and then in this top zipper super

10:16

easy is a set of wired headphones right

10:19

because I need those sometimes right the

10:22

wireless ones sometimes they die

10:24

sometimes I don't need them sometimes I

10:25

just want to do a podcast without having

10:27

a Bluetooth problem so I plug those into

10:29

my laptop or I'm playing a video game

10:31

that I want communication with my

10:32

teammates and stuff and I do

10:35

that um my battery backup so I usually

10:38

leave this thing at 100 right currently

10:40

at 100 thank God nice um and I leave the

10:43

cord shock corded around and on it this

10:47

thing charges my phone about 10 times uh

10:50

it also charges my laptop twice so it is

10:54

really powerful it's a really nice

10:55

battery backup it's got a couple

10:57

different options but I I don't remember

10:59

remember who makes it uh basis so I

11:04

don't know if that can come out if

11:06

that's making a light there so that's

11:09

who makes this one it's really nice I

11:11

really like it but that's what I keep in

11:12

this top pouch so it's easily accessible

11:14

but it's also

11:17

contained um and I should put those

11:19

headphones in the whatever so that's

11:22

what's in the main pocket I also keep

11:24

this little guy which in the airplane

11:27

when I'm trying to look for something if

11:28

I can't feel it out I'll go ahead and

11:30

illuminate my backpack but it just sits

11:32

at the top on one of the little velcro

11:35

thingies they have for like their

11:37

pouches that they have so just something

11:40

nice I I really like it it's a simple

11:42

thing to have but it's not expensive and

11:44

it's useful so that's what's in the main

11:47

compartment then on the back side I did

11:50

modify this so this is not normal to the

11:54

bag so on here this is Triple A Design

11:58

makes this beaver tail thing right for

12:02

their bags and I use it actually upside

12:05

down so this is for their bags and it

12:09

usually has two longer straps that go

12:11

from here which is the bottom and it

12:13

connects to the bottom of their bags and

12:15

this beaver tail sits like that it's a

12:17

really nice beaver tail I like it um

12:19

when I had a triple op designs bag it

12:21

was nice to have but their bags are

12:23

really overt I'm not not down with that

12:26

um I think they make a covert now so I

12:28

may try it again but they're really

12:30

expensive bags

12:32

so um what I did was I changed out the

12:34

hardware um and made it so that they fit

12:37

onto different Hardware so sorry it's

12:40

upside down right now how I use it I

12:42

like to use it where it has this pocket

12:44

right here so now I can stuff stuff in

12:47

there um when I don't have a jacket in

12:49

here or even if I have a jacket in here

12:51

I can kind of force it but on here I put

12:55

in the same

12:56

Loop that the actual hardware for the I

13:00

guess the compression straps are on the

13:02

same loop I put one of those removable

13:07

or um I can't remember what they call

13:10

them but repair style Clips me see if I

13:14

can get it out there we go and it kind

13:16

of looks like sewi is and it just Clips

13:20

closed so I can clip it on wherever I

13:22

want so I did this specifically so that

13:25

I can I can do what I'm doing with the

13:26

beaver tail but I also did it so so that

13:29

I can change it up and and not use it if

13:32

I didn't want to so I could pull these

13:33

completely off and now there's no beaver

13:36

tail or anything on the front so I like

13:38

it a lot let me get it back on here real

13:41

quick before I forget so I like having

13:42

this beaver tail cuz I keep a sweater on

13:46

the outside usually um I use a sweater

13:49

of some sort um this one's a waffle top

13:52

I used to travel with the one that I was

13:53

issued and uh it was brown it was also

13:57

super obvious so people recognized it as

14:00

a military sweater so once again

14:02

somebody recognized it I wanted to

14:04

change it and I had um defense

14:07

mechanisms those guys over there are

14:09

really awesome they're good dudes but

14:11

they make some uh clothing stuff right

14:14

for cold weather and I found that they

14:17

there's their logo defense mechanisms uh

14:20

they made this uh uh waffle top style

14:23

but without this zipper this 3/4 zipper

14:27

or 1/3 zipper

14:29

which is a huge Improvement on their

14:31

previous style I have their previous

14:33

style one but it's like really tight at

14:35

the neck and it bothers me I don't like

14:37

that um I wanted a zipper style across

14:40

the whole thing or across the the

14:42

onethird of it so it worked out uh it's

14:45

what I wanted there's no pockets on the

14:47

thing there's nothing fancy about it

14:49

it's literally just a waffle top or mid

14:53

layer like that and I like it a lot I

14:55

use it as a mid layer sometimes and I

14:57

use it for other things too

15:00

sorry somebody's cutting their grass

15:01

outside so uh it is what I travel with

15:04

and on most airplane rides I am nice and

15:07

cozy uh and I like a hood I like a hood

15:09

I like to be able to obscure my my face

15:12

or my uh head features like I do with

15:15

that mask over there too so on the

15:17

outside here right cuz we're still on

15:19

the outside on the bottom pouch this is

15:22

my snack pouch so snacks uh I think I

15:25

have some Dramamine still in here I have

15:27

some caffeine stuff I have some alcohol

15:30

wipes and lens wipes in here um some

15:35

beef jerky stuff so tons of stuff that's

15:38

in here mostly snacks

15:41

and uh hand sanitizer so really nothing

15:45

crazy but just snacks that I can carry

15:47

that won't melt so I don't put like

15:49

chocolate stuff or anything like that I

15:51

don't put my cookies in here cuz that

15:52

thing's going to melt these are like

15:54

long not longterm but like travel all

15:57

the time with me uh snacks that I'll

15:59

throw in there and and like caffeine

16:02

packets and things like that then up

16:04

here is more administrative stuff so

16:06

I'll have to yank all this out because

16:08

it's it's a big mess so let me let me

16:11

lay it all out and then I'll uh explain

16:19

it Jesus sorry boys I have a lot of or

16:23

peeps I have a lot of stuff in

16:26

here all right coins all right cool so

16:28

so I have some coins still in there some

16:30

like some change from like buying

16:31

something with cash um but I I don't

16:33

usually keep them in there it just

16:35

happen just so happens to be in there

16:37

and this needs to go in my other bag so

16:39

um in here guys obviously I have writing

16:43

utensils I like writing utensils for

16:45

writing super easy um I do use a mini

16:49

Sharpie in here that I got from like one

16:50

of my medkits uh from North American

16:52

Rescue I like the mini Sharpie in here

16:54

because it's not used a lot but it is a

16:56

good backup uh for using something or

16:59

writing on something that I can't get a

17:00

pen or a pencil to work on and I like

17:03

having a pen and a pencil um up to you

17:06

obviously this isn't like hey you have

17:07

to have this it's just like what I

17:09

use for what I carry and why um I like

17:12

having a pencil because it writes on

17:14

most papers and it won't wash off as

17:17

easily as like a gel style pen um I used

17:20

to keep a space pen in here I don't know

17:22

where it went I probably lost it at some

17:24

point but I usually keep a space pen not

17:26

like a gel pen but I like smaller pens

17:28

and pencils if I can um like these two

17:31

mini ones I need to find a smaller

17:32

pencil uh but it is it is nice to have I

17:35

like the options of media to use to

17:38

write on or write

17:39

with I have an extra chapstick like you

17:42

guys saw on my everyday carry I have one

17:44

of Cloud's little Chinese lights which

17:46

is dead that's awesome so uh I used to

17:50

keep one of the little Streamlight ones

17:52

in here and I like the Streamlight one a

17:54

lot uh I've been playing around with

17:56

this one and this one does not want to

17:58

keep a charge so it's probably going to

18:00

get nixed off the boat and get my

18:02

Streamlight one back in here sorry Cloud

18:04

but it's a Chinese light and another

18:07

Chinese light and the other Chinese

18:08

light is working better than this

18:09

Chinese light uh my headphones so

18:12

nothing crazy uh like my wireless ones I

18:14

usually keep those either in my pocket

18:16

when I'm traveling or in here uh they

18:19

live in here

18:20

normally cash I like having cash on me I

18:23

know some people don't believe in it

18:24

anymore and don't think it matters but I

18:26

I carry cash with me um if for whatever

18:29

reason I need to pay for something and I

18:30

don't want to whip out uh my credit card

18:33

because it's a shitty ass place or it's

18:35

in the middle of nowhere or like I need

18:37

to give somebody cash to pay them back

18:39

for something or like like a student

18:41

lends me another box of ammo because I

18:42

went through all mine or something I

18:44

could pay them in cash it's it's a nice

18:46

thing to have I I like having cash on

18:48

me uh business cards so I keep business

18:51

cards in here and a SIM card uh this is

18:55

a card that I got from uh uh dark

18:58

medical it's a really good one but it

19:00

just like different things to remind you

19:02

on how to assess wounds and how to talk

19:05

uh Med like little Med tips uh really

19:08

nice one I I don't know why I keep it in

19:10

here all that much because it just

19:11

doesn't take up space so it just ends up

19:13

staying but it's a really useful thing I

19:15

think I had it slid into my notebook

19:17

last I had I was using it like a

19:19

bookmark but it's a useful bookmark so

19:22

uh little notebook to write in nothing

19:24

wild about that and then uh write notes

19:27

write tips write things that I want to

19:29

do or whatever and then a little stand

19:31

that I was using for my

19:33

phone for when I go and do any kind of

19:37

like FaceTime stuff or anything like

19:38

that I have something to hold up my

19:40

phone um I know that they have like

19:42

stick on stuff that goes on the back of

19:44

these things now but uh I've had this

19:46

for a really long time and I I'm still

19:48

using it as such uh sometimes I use it

19:50

to film stuff like as a little little

19:52

holdup for my phone when I film things

19:54

in hotel rooms for you guys so it's just

19:56

useful little guy and once again doesn't

19:58

take up much

20:00

space a flash drive to swap things

20:03

another key for my uh my locks on my box

20:07

so just in case uh an older key for my

20:10

old house which I need to get rid of

20:12

this because it's useless so that's nice

20:14

that I went in here and then um a cable

20:18

to charge my phone on the airplane now

20:21

this is separated from my pack of cables

20:25

because it's the one that I use on the

20:26

airplane and it's also one that I use in

20:28

car cars um and I like it really easily

20:31

accessible so on here though this little

20:34

red thing is to stop data from being

20:37

transferred so it is to force only

20:39

charge versus having the data ports on

20:42

here so it helps a lot when it comes to

20:45

travel I would recommend everybody get

20:48

one of these little data blocking thing

20:49

my Bobs uh damn what are they called

20:52

yeah just data blocker uh for your

20:54

charging cable so when I plug into the

20:57

back of the seat on the on the airplane

20:59

or plug into any charging port at the

21:01

airport or into anybody's cars or

21:03

anything like that I can keep from

21:05

having my phone connect to any of that

21:07

stuff um via the cord so I like having

21:11

that um and then if I do need to use my

21:13

cord for like in the car to connect for

21:16

like maps and things like that I can

21:18

just pull it off put it back in here and

21:20

I use this cable for the car so I like

21:22

having this really accessible so I keep

21:24

it up in this little top pocket that I

21:25

could reach any time um but that's

21:28

that's my personal preference right you

21:29

may not be into that or whatever go for

21:31

it man but like I said um just it it

21:34

makes life easier for me as I travel so

21:37

I like having it there but that is like

21:41

uh other than water right which water

21:43

bottles usually go in the side pockets

21:45

they're really big and stretchy so I can

21:47

fit almost the N Gene like 32 oun one in

21:50

there uh you can't really put one of

21:52

those in there it doesn't fit but you

21:53

can fit most of those thinner bottles

21:55

and most bottles that you can buy at the

21:57

store or at um at the airport so any of

22:02

those kind of bottles I'll throw in

22:03

there and I will keep uh I don't have

22:05

one in here because I'm at home and I

22:07

don't need it in there right now but it

22:09

is something that I'll use uh if you

22:11

don't like buying bottles and you use

22:13

reusable ones uh this is just too small

22:16

for a Nile Jean if you like those big

22:18

Nile jeans but if you get one of the

22:20

thinner ones that are taller it'll fit

22:22

so just something to think about it it

22:24

is a nice bag and it works really well

22:26

for what I need it but um for for most

22:28

of you guys it'll you'll have to change

22:31

things up for yourself but like I said I

22:33

use this one in both colors this one and

22:35

my black one um I'll just vary it based

22:38

off what I'm doing but mainly cuz this

22:40

one started getting too many like eyes

22:44

and uh it attracts people's eyes and

22:45

lets them know like there's military or

22:47

something of that sort and I don't like

22:49

it so this one's going to be transferred

22:51

over to probably being used as an

22:53

assault pack or something like that and

22:55

you'll probably see it in a different

22:56

video but I'm using a black one now

22:59

um but yeah that's my uh everyday carry

23:02

plus right plus bag and that's what I

23:05

carry in my bag so nothing wild about it

23:08

like honestly none of this stuff was

23:09

crazy and groundbreaking in any way and

23:12

uh and hopefully it wasn't but hopefully

23:14

I gave you some ideas on things you want

23:15

to carry I would say the only thing I

23:18

don't have in here that and and the

23:20

reason is because I travel with it too

23:21

much is like fire starting stuff which

23:24

is the only other thing I would throw in

23:26

this uh but at the same time like

23:29

uh for what I'm doing on a day-to-day

23:31

it's not necessary um on the next

23:34

episode of this we'll talk about what

23:36

can go scaling even further past this

23:39

which can get a little crazy and then

23:41

we'll probably even talk about vehicle

23:42

stuff so hope this helps and hope this

23:45

gives you some ideas and if you have any

23:47

questions put them on below take care

23:49

guys
