  • After looking through your videos i thi

  • Just curious...are you K-9 or prior lawenforcment/military. Sounds like you have had some training with dogs.

  • @Bartonhockey08 after looking through your videos I think I answered my own question. I knew I recognized the commands you used to instruct your K-9. Very nice setup.

  • Hey Adam, Happy New Year!!! Good video man, haye can you tell me more about the paint or coffee can stove? How you set it up etc...

    Good Luck this New Year!

  • but i kinda miss some extra fuel for driving

  • the storage below the laoding area i like much.

    in germany such big cars are hard to pay, so my bugoutcar is wayy smaller :-)

  • I suggest strapping the seatbelt cutting device directly to your seatbelt so that it is always on your chest. It poses no danger while in that pouch. good thinking

  • All that "inventory" is just swell BUT ... Practiced SKILLs (what's between your ears) comes first ("The more you know the less you need"). Next? .. Start with your underwear ... your footwear ... Your pants (plan each pocket and keep your current pants "loaded" (LoL) and next to your bed (plus boots and sox and ECW). In the end? It comes down to mobility, hard tools and SKILLS because you will end up on foot and with whatever you were wearing.

  • how does that truck compartment keep things dry? fairly well?

  • Great video! This has given me some great ideas on how to upgrade my own vehicle. Thanks!

  • hay man i life in ISRAEL and every day i luk in EDC and galas too pepl hu life in USA bikoz u gadet chans for gud stavs in chip pris and im not. And i not gadet sombadi hu cen bi help mi

  • @miriamnoelle huh?

  • @miriamnoelle yeah...wtf......you guys got some high end surplus...use it!!

  • Ridgeline is badass, dont hate:) lol

  • not sure how much snow you get, but one thing that is a good thing for snowy raods is some cat litter, i went off the road last winter on my way home, i had just bought some cat litter and it gave me just enough to get my car back on the road, i am right now getting my car ready from summer to winter. i am thinking we are gonna have a lot of snow, and thank you for doing this video too, gave me some ideas.

  • Bit better, getting away from the overt brandname repetition.

    "hey girlfriend look what I bought today in exchange for a kickback" style was really off-putting.

  • @mryellow123 oh an old video, guess got worse from there on in.

  • Great kits very thorough I like how you explained each thing and it's purpose.

  • I'm impressed! You have a German shepherd and uses German commands, very well!

  • Love your vids Adam but c mon, a Honda Ridgeline???????? Let me run a few trucks by you. Dodge Ram, Ford, Chevy, GMC.

  • @NKGMAN , if they have the bed storage area and the seats fold up for the dogs, let me know!

    - Adam

  • @Equip2Endure my dads chevys seats fold up... but i think that storage thing is awesome..

  • @Equip2Endure with the ram the seats fold down, i dont know how that would work for you, and there is the ram box in the back

  • @Equip2Endure I am a USA product guy but I love those nissian frontiers. I think adam should look into a great east L.A low rider.

  • @Equip2Endure I love Honda's.  I have a pilot but would be just as happy with a Ridgeline.

  • @Equip2Endure Chevy trucks can fold up seats but im not sure about the storage. Nice Truck by the way

  • @NKGMAN toyota?

  • @NKGMAN Pretty sure that ford was only Assembled in the Usa. The parts are outsourced

  • Cool teaching your dog German. I want to do that, but my German relatives died when I was young, so I never learned any... I do remember hearing that term getting our dog trained. Is it spelled platz?

  • I hear Hedgehog Leatherworks makes good stuff. Is it worth all that money? That stuff looks really high quality, and a cool company name haha. Is your Maxpedition stuff made in America? Anywhere but China is good for me for the most part haha

  • I noticed you said you had an Android phone. You should get an EML 327 bluetooth diagnostic tool. They are cheep and can read all of your cars sensors and clear the codes. Combined with the torque app, along with your cars repair manual. It could save you a trip to a mechanic, or at least you'll be able to tell them the problem.

    *use KIWI WiFi for apple devices

  • The one thing that I did not see that I always have is a roll of Toilet Paper... good to have.

  • Хомяк!

  • what kinda suv?

  • Looks like your ready for anything

  • Comment removed

  • Its wierd that the steering wheel is on the left

  • Great work, your open minded positive attitude is a breath of fresh air. Quick question... what type of wool pants are those and do you wear them as an over garment or undergarment. Wool is the way to go and Im a fan of king of the mountain and wool power, but I am looking for quaility on the cheep these days haha. Thanks for all your hard work.

  • @antimaven , They are an over-garment, love them! They are a must have. I wish I could find another pair, my father in-law gave them to me when he moved out of a snowy area. I have used them every since. They are an old surplus, so if you can find them they are cheap.

    - Adam

  • Another excellent video, Adam! Its getting close to the onset of our crazy Canadian winter, so I watched your video to get some good ideas for what to keep in my car. It is especially important for me now, since we have our first little girl on the way! Due in January! Bad time of the year for the drive to the hospital. Thanks again for all the good ideas. I only drive a 2008 Toyota Corolla, so I have far less space, but you've got me thinking, as always! Great work!

  • i have that same 7gal water container that i keep in the trunk of my cavalier! ironic

  • Comment removed

  • It recently struck me that keeping your gear in a cheap cooler like a coleman you can grab at Walmart for like $20.00 cdn will do you well to keep your water from freezing because its an insulator as well. Perhaps it may be something to experiment as the days get colder. And using lithium camera batteries is also better for the cold (can you tell I'm Canadian now...?) and they will give you a longer run time. Hope this comes in handy. Keep up the good work and thanks!

  • @SerratedEdges1 , thanks for the suggestion!

    - Adam

  • @Equip2Endure you need a road flair some times at night you get stuck on the road

    you can use that as a warning signal

  • how hard was it for you to teach your dog to go off leash also i havent seen any of your other videos yes if you have already answered my next question, is your dog a law enforcement k-9 unit since you talk about bite training or is he your personal dog, thanks

  • Just got rid of a Ridgeline in exchange for the new F150. Ridgeline was a great truck. Took it everywhere. Only downside is it would stall out when going through deep water.

    I'd love to be able to carry that much stuff for EDC in my truck but there is just no way. One thing I miss about that Ridgeline was the trunk!

  • Watch those loose flashlights don't hit ya in the head in the event of a roll over....

  • @superjet2771 , yeah that would be the least of my worries in a roll over.

    -Adam

  • Very nice set up. Didn't know there was that much trunk space.

  • If any subscribers could educate me as to what to look for in a tow strap I would appreciate it.

    What brands?

    What weight rating?

    What attachment system, hooks, loops, to get?

    Thanks all!

  • Hey there, great video!!! =) But do you have a jerry can somewhere in there...?? Or is that a given...?? How about those pressurized tire sealers in a can...?? I hear those are a messy fix for a flat, but it may be great in an emergency/extreme weather situation...

  • @TubeDeviant , No I don't carry extra fuel... yet. Don't do much off roading, this vehicle is not really built for it, not all 4X4 are creating equal, lol. But that's a great idea and I may have to step up my game!

    - Adam

  • Great video adam!! The mic works great! Sweet ideas. Keep up the great work!

  • Great video! Another suggetion...a military style poncho liner is another alternative to larger blankets...they're really handy and serve multiple purposes. I have one in each car and they have saved the day more than once. Thanks for the ideas!

  • @bcharper21 , Your right, I always carry one in my Falcon 2. Great Item!

    - Adam

  • Comment removed

  • Granted your truck looks fairly new, but what about extra parts for it? Like light bulbs for the signals, headlights, tail lights? Extra spark plugs, belts, oil and coolant, stuff of that nature. Do you have an AAA membership for roadside assistance.

    I trust you have some form of communication for the vehicle, be that cell phone, ham radio, cb, etc.

    Surprising how much that truck holds with that hidden storage area in the bed.

  • @bwillan , extra parts is a great point. I do keep the basics in the garage and I'm all about preventive maintenance. I always carry two cellphones with me (work and personal ) I also gave my handheld radio that will work for emergency situation in the DC area. I also have an old cellphone in my sabercat for emergency use. I do need to renew my roadside assistance here shortly, thanks for the reminder. ;)

    -Adam

  • Also: Safety glasses/googles... two pair: one for sun, the other clear.

  • Ah! So nice to have the other half with a "familymobile"!  I don't like driving my truck with the family, for some reason women and children aren't respectful to the interior of my truck :D It is nice to have an Expedition though, i can fit all my gear in the rear and still have room for 5 people, not even having flipped the 3rd row up.

    Great video! I love vehicle EDC!

  • Suggest getting your HAM radio license and installing at least a VHF (2 meter) + UHF (70 cm) rig in your truck. If you want to go all out, get a General-class license and install an all-mode HF/VHF/UHF radio like Yaesu's FT-857D. Most of the scenarios postulated on "Dual Survival" would have been a non-issue if a good radio was at hand...

  • You also want some way of water filtering (in addition to purification). Best weight/flow compromise I've found are the squeeze bottles with in-line filters. (I'd also add some additional water storage bags.) Bottom line: you may equally be well in an urban situation as well as a wooded one, so you have to plan for that as well.

  • @mrmonkeyman50 , good point. I always have water treatment option in both the Maxpedition bags.

  • Other items: ANY old cell phone. (Even if it doesn't have a number associated with it, you can dial 911 - great back up!); knife sharpener (even a pocket one)... an UMBRELLA! (No weight, light).

  • Carry a little food/water (Coast Guard type, the type that can stay fresh for 5 years, don't need water). You don't need much, just enough for an emergency. Roll of shop paper towels and a few microfiber clothes. Wire snips? Locking jaws? Destruction tool? Head cover? Jacket? Cheap camera? Memory stick? Also: carrying all that stuff as "storage" isn't always great - it will cut down on your mileage. Very complete but compact down for weight!

  • I keep my Ruger Mini 14 Ranch, a Taurus PT 101, plenty of ammo, a Leatherman Wave, a Bark River Bravo, and whatever pocket knife I'm carrying on me and as always my Kel Tec PF9 in my Jeep Wrangler. I'm more than prepared lol. I think alot of its got to do with I never take anything out of it more than I am preparing to survive. If I was Honda fan, I would want a Ridgeline now. haha.

  • the sound quality is much better with the new mic. keep up the good work! love the truck edc...i have been thinking about doing something similar.

  • I love how much cargo space that truck has. Very impressive for guys like us who want to take everything in the garage with them. :-D

    Did you choose that truck for that or was it just a perk?

  • Great video, I carry all the same.DKG

  • Comment removed

  • great vid, good to see a video on keeping stuff in your vehicle. One of the best EDC vids I've ever seen.

  • The new mic sounds great.

  • great vid, good to see a video on keeping stuff in your vehicle.

  • Comment removed

  • im guessing you are putting your partnership to good use

  • always prepared. good stuff. I think I carry more tools, but my truck is older than I am so there get used a lot , with a bit of 4x4ing :)

  • Thank you for the addition of a wireless mic in your vids for clear sound . Great vid as many ppl just do not understand the need for auto/suv EDC to the extent that anyone watching your vids can . Thanks again for your time and efforts .

  • bout time you posted this vid...LOL. That storage unit in the bed rocks!! There is all kinds of room in there. Love the kit and a few forms of redundancy. Keep em coming!

  • I have the same kind of system, but thanks anyway for the vid.

  • Great video Adam, I like the longer length! I like that truck, very nice for a bug out vehicle with the storage space under the bed. Very cool, and some good points of what people should think to carry.

  • You have enough space in that truck that Batman would envy! LOL!

    Not having to share it with your family helps.

    I keep basic items stocked and always ready to add more like the ECO Hawk axe but space is an issue with a wife that's disabled.

    Very good video my friend, well done!

  • I don't think that you carry enough gear lol

  • Glad to see someone else carries as much junk around as I do!!!!!!

  • I love cliff bars! Very tasty, Nice truck, very useful.

  • awesome video!! great gear, wish all trucks had that trunk idea!! good use of space.

  • Awesome video. Very well equipped vehicle you have there. Makes me want to check in the the stuff I have in my car. How do you like the Ridgeline?

  • Very interesting to see. Sparks some good reflection on what we I am keeping (and not keeping) in my car.

  • great Job Adam

  • Wow, I never knew pickups had a boot. What type of truck is it?

  • @AndrewXAnarchy honda ridgeline

  • great job man, much better sound quality. keep up the great work!

  • The new mic is great. I enjoyed this video!

  • Great video. Lots of good ideas. I hope it's okay that I posted my EDC as a video response. Love your channel, keep 'em coming.

  • @killkill120 just because its not an American brand doesnt mean it wasn't made in America and just because its an American brand doesnt mean it was made in America. Great vid. Keep'em coming.

  • short vids work better with your style- but damn good dude

  • great video. very informative.

  • buy american! 

  • @killkill120 the sad thing is most cars/trucks now a days are not made in america...... either way Honda makes some damn good vehicles

  • @BuckeyeSparky Neither are so called American cars. They are built in mexico. But at least toyota and honda build a lot of them here in the states with the greenest plants ever.

  • @killkill120 , unfortunately my last "American" vehicle, a GM, was built in Mexico. Along with the current issues with most Government bailout,, I chose to purchase a Honda, a company which now has a great number of vehicle assembled in America.

    - Adam

  • @Equip2Endure Labor unions are not present in foreign car car assembly lines. American car factories in the U.S have the U.A.W . Everything I buy is from China or the U.S, For China owns The U.S.A.. Because of the war in iraq. I will take the bailout over a war that is about oil.

  • @killkill120 Oh yeah, G.M. Paid their debt back are are doing well. Our great President Obama saved some great American Companies!

  • @killkill120, I realize this is a passionate topic of yours and I have always respected your input and comments on my channel, you have shared some great points and suggestions. I also appreciate you removing your previous comments, I do feel as though they could have been perceived in a negative light. But your statement above expresses my point, my last GM was not built by union works, regardless of our political or philosophical positions.

  • @killkill120, Equip 2 Endure is not the place for me to make political statements because I welcome all points of view, so we can learn from one another. There are hard line positions that I will not tolerate in reference to unsubstantiated hate and discrimination on my channel. Those comments will be removed. But I do believe that everyone perspective is important and I welcome them here.

  • FIRST... yeah baby.. great vid adam
