Add a one gallon zip lock bag. You can use it to collect, contain and carry water, and to purify water using UV purification system by laying it in the bright sun for an hour. You can use it to keep your phone (and EDC pouch) dry if you get in a downpour, or have to forge a stream, or have do duck into a ditch for a tornado. Emergency floatation device (fill it with air and stick it under your shirt - or your kid's shirt.) And you can use it has a handy carrying bag if you happen to come across fresh wild blueberries.
One gallon zip lock bag. Add it to your little bag.

That's a great EDC! Instead of centralized pouch storage, I space things out among five pockets. I attach my flashlight, charging cable and meds to my keys. I carry paper and pen in my Allett wallet, along with Purell, Iodine and Shout pads plus a Dude wipe and a SwissCard. My one-handed opening knife is clipped to my right front pocket. In that pocket I keep chapstick, a Victorinox Companion and a mini Altoids trouble kit. In my watch pocket, I keep a butane ligher and pry bar. If I do it right, all the weight and bulk is pretty evenly spaced out. That said, I love your organization!

[SebastianSynn]

Great edc kit! On a whim a few years ago I took about a dozen twist ties from the produce section of the grocery store and added them to my pouch. I was really amazed at how often they came in handy for random things. Now I have a few in every one of my pouches.

[wernerpaul]

Nice one!
I additionally always carry a toothpick, a plastic bag/zip bag, compressed towel, zip tie - do not need much weight or space

[SigogglinJack]

Nice kit! I just picked up the Maxpedition Skinny to organize my sling bag. Great idea stuffing cotton in the cap of the chapstick. I really like the little first aid kit too

[EDCQ]

That’s an awesome backup edc pouch!!! Well done!

[kukuinut]

Just came across this video…great compact kit…I understand that feeling of not having crucial gear on hand…keep up the great content…subscribed 🤙🏽

[Pocket_EDC]

I have the same pouch (tan color). Did a video a bit back. We have much of the same things. I keep a 600 or 1000 grit, small diamond stone. Also a Boker pen with a t-6 and t-8 torx bit and, as always, band-aids. 😅 There a very good little pocket pouch.

This is a very good EDC go bag. A few suggestions: get rid of the notebook and carry 3by5 post-it-notes. I carry mine folded in half. Putting a note on a mirror, post, car window, or door is needed more than you think. The hardest thing for me, and I think for most, is deciding on one multitool. I spent a lot of energy before limiting my mine to the Nextool Flagship mini. Previously I had a SAK Rambler, and Leatherman Squirt. The one thing I did not see is a flint and one match. In small packs I prefer that over a bic.

i love the idea of an edc go bag! need to build one myself now haha

[stuartthornton]

Great video. I think I'd dump the pad and just keep afew sheets of paper and a small pen from a bookies.
In place of the pad, how about a Mylar Space Blanket and a Bin Liner (Garbage bag) for shelter (with the cordage)
Also a 2ft square of Tin Foil (fire reflector or cup/pot to boil water), zip lock freezer bag (for water), puritabs and a small Ferro Rod. A wire saw wouldn't take up much room, either.
In the UK, the biggest danger from a "hike" is an unexpected Night on the Moors or Hills and the threat of Hypothermia.

Pretty good basic kit. Great for addressing small problems. Have all the basic EDC in one pouch .

[riskmandel]

great kit. I have something very similar, but I also added some micro cord and a few zip ties. But honestly, the thing I use more than anything else is hand wipes and Pepto pills--rarely for myself, but I've been able to help out numerous people around me.

[memphischuck]

If it has webbing on the back it’s the Mini. Looks great! I suggest adding a small ferro rod, fresnel lens and guitar pick (for tinder).

[justinvinson]

I think a little whistle would be a great edition for emergencies so you dont have to scream for help

[scratchbuiltreplicas]

THATS THE MICRO! I ALWAYS HAVE MINE IN MY POCKET.

[solomonkane]

Where did you get that little plastic pouch with the first aid stuff in it ?

[Aegir]

Forget benadryl. Use a 2nd generation antihistamine for allergy relief without drowsiness. Some over the counter options in the US are cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra), and loratadine (Claritin).

[mikay]

Good job
You can use mini bic lighter

[davidlanders]

Good looking kit. Perhaps a battery and cord to charge your phone.
