2025 EDC Get-Me-Home Bag

Send us a text

In this episode, I break down my full EDC backpack—what I call my "get-me-to-safety" bag.
Built for real-world emergencies, this isn’t about flashy gear—it’s about medical essentials, survival tools, dual-use items, and smart packing that could save your life if home is compromised.

From my Leatherman ARC and Nitecore power bank to my Grail water filter and MSR Pocket Rocket stove, I walk you through what I carry, why it matters, and how I’ve built this bag to adapt with the seasons.

🔧 Real gear. 💡 Real use. ❤️ Real tribute to a Marine who never stopped checking in.
