Gentlemen, Antonio here.
Today, I'm going to talk about five things that I think every man should have quick access
to so that he can look like a hero.
Guys, it's going to take a little bit of preparation to have these things ready, but when the time
hits, when they are needed, you're going to come in, and you are going to be the man.
It feels great.
Whenever people need help, whenever people need something and you are prepared, you are
there to help solve the problem.
Guys, each of these, hopefully, you enjoy them.
If you've got more to add, I would love to hear from you guys down in the comments.
Let me know what I missed.
Number one: multipurpose tool.
Guys, I've got this one from Gerber.
I have multiple Leatherman.
I can tell you that I have used the tools more times than I can count.
All of my vehicles have one of these inside of them, even my motorcycle.
This is the one that I actually used to carry on my motorcycle.
I can tell you I've used these pliers to help prepare my bike.
We've used these knives to cut fruit on the road when one of my kids are hungry.
This one with the serrated edge, I've used to cut through rope.
Philips head, this flat screwdriver, even the file, we have used.
Guys, a tool like this, when you need it quick in a pinch, having a multi-tool is awesome.
Tool number two: have a lighter.
I don't smoke, but I can tell you guys that I use lighters all the time.
This one by Elementium is pretty darn cool.
Let me give you an example.
We're over at a birthday party just the other day.
Looking around, everyone's like "Okay, we're about to light the candles."
My friend, Lara, she's trying to get everything set up.
Her husband, Ryan's running around.
They do not have matches.
They don't have a lighter.
No one smokes around there.
All of a sudden, I just walk out to the vehicle, I grab this one, and what I really like, it's
got this really cool electrical X.
You'll have to go check them out.
You can go check them out right over here.
But I was able to go down like this.
It's windproof, and the flame also doesn't come up here.
I was able to light multiple candles.
Guys, being able to start a fire is something I think you should be able to do.
Maybe it's my background in the Boy Scouts.
Always be prepared.
But yes, I'm still involved with the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts.
I take this thing out there, and I can quickly light a fire.
No, I'm not rubbing sticks together.
I like to when we focus in on other things not be spening 30 minutes trying to light
a fire, although I do think that's important.
The key is if you need to be able to light a fire, be able to do that.
Guys, real quick, I've got a whole bunch of these that they sent me.
Want you to go check them out.
Let me know in the comments which of the styles of these Plasmatic styles you really like.
I'm going to send a few of these out.
I'm just going to randomly choose them over the next 48 hours.
They've got a USB charge.
Pretty cool, nifty thing.
In any case, maybe you want to just carry matches.
Maybe you do want to just carry regular lighters.
But be able to start a fire, because when you need to, you're going to come in, and
you're going to look like a hero.
Tip number three: carry blank cards and pens.
Why?
Because you're going to be going to birthday parties.
You're going to be going to events in which you've invited.
You want to thank the people.
I'll just use my personal example.
We go to kids' birthday parties all the time.
We're around [0:03:07] [Indiscernible].
We're 30 minutes from home.
We don't have time to come back and grab a card.
We don't want to stop and pay five bucks for a card.
Simply a blank card.
My wife writes out a very nice note or we have the kids draw on it.
We can slip a 20 in there, maybe stop and get a gift.
But even if you don't have kids, think about it.
You get invited to dinner with your girlfriend's parents.
You take that card out.
You write a very nice note to her mother.
Stop, maybe grab flowers for her mom.
Grab maybe a bottle of wine if you're going to go see an old friend.
You're going to visit their house for the first time.
You write out a nice note in a card.
Guys, nobody does this.
If you're prepared, you can be the guy that shows up and just wows the hostess.
Tip number four: carry a bright handkerchief.
I usually carry a handkerchief right here in my back pocket and a handkerchief pocket
square, difference being handkerchiefs usually made from cotton, can be washed, pocket squares
oftentimes silk, can't be washed so much.
But this is something you're going to use.
Whenever you see somebody and they sneeze and they need a hand, reach back there.
You grab it.
You can hand this over to them.
Perhaps it's one of your kids.
They just made a mess of themselves.
Boom.
Dab this in some water.
You can take care of it.
In addition, let's say you got a truck.
You're going to be taking off a really long pole or you throw in some wood back there.
All of a sudden, you can take this to the end of it, and you've got a signal.
That's why I recommend bright.
Bright orange, bright red.
Something with a bit of color so that you can signal the vehicles behind you to stay
out of the way.
Tip number five: a custom sewing kit.
Little bit different than an emergency sewing kit, but a custom sewing kit is oftentimes
going to you're going to put things in there that you know you oftentimes need.
Maybe rubber bands, bobby pins.
What are you going to use this for?
Not only whenever you lose a button or somebody tears their pants or you've got a kid that
wets his pants and you've got to put some clothing on him and adjust it a bit, but also
as an emergency first aid.
Someone has blisters.
Somebody has a splinter or something stuck in their finger.
Immediately, you are there with a needle, and you can get in there and get that removed.
Now, guys, I could have gone into a lot more detail.
In fact, in the video right here, I talk about ten things that you need to carry in your
car.
Before you go down there in the comments and say "Antonio, I would have said carry a little
bit of money or other items like that" totally get it.
Go check out that video.
Guys, don't forget: I've got these lighters right here from Elementium.
I want you to go check them out.
Plasmatic.
I'm curious.
I've got about three or four of them right here.
I want to send these out.
Let me know in the comments maybe the style, the type that you like over at this company.
I'm going to randomly select some of you guys and send these out.
In any case, guys, be prepared.
Be the hero when everyone's looking to someone to step up and to be able to take charge and
be able to solve a problem.
You're prepared.
You'll be able to do it.
That's it, guys.
I'll see you in the next video.
