My name is Chris and I like fishing, fly tying, EDC, golf, collecting hot wheels (wife hates this), bourbon, and many other things. What this means is I know a little about a lot;)
Ozark Trail $5 CEO style knife from a not so technical knife user;)
While I have carried pocket knives for most of my life I never paid attention to blade steels or blade shapes. I just wanted a knife that cut. In the last year I have started the learning process but have a long way to go.
Plot twist I got a Kizer Militaw for Christmas and I think it will be a perfect replacement for this knife and not interfere with my phone saving me some money:)

Part 1 Christmas EDC Haul - Upcoming content teaser!
Переглядів 13419 годин тому
So excited about these gifts. The tech case is really nice and I can see why many like the brand. The tool roll seems solid, but what blew me away first impression wise is the roaring fire pouches. At the price point I was expecting basic and they are looking more premium. Can’t wait to get these loaded out and use them and share the results and thoughts with all of you. #edcgear #edc #edccarry...
Most used EDC Gear in 2024

Saw a video from @stevesgear last week and was inspired to go through my own gear and figure out what was used the most. In theory I could use this to make smarter choices and minimize what I carry next year, but likely will overload even more next year;) Would be awesome to see @mfinresearch6462 do a video on this too. We all do a lot of content but is always interesting to see what makes the ...
How not to suck at #fishing #spinnerbaits - Part 5 Color and wrap up

In the last part I will talk about the most underrated part of lure selection across the board, color. Maybe it’s my clear water roots, but I pay a lot of attention to color until I dial it in because I have seen it make a huge difference. Hope you enjoy the video and the series.

Homemade #knife or #tool roll! How useful is it?
Переглядів 14128 днів тому
I needed a solution that fit the knife sizes I carry and all the rolls I have seen on the market are either too tall or have some of the pockets being too narrow wasting space. So I put my own together. It works so well I may need to make a higher quality version. If you have a sewing machine around making your own is pretty easy and doesn’t take all that long. #everydaycarry #edc #edcgear #knives
Temu tech bag (TomToc Clone) after 7 months of use!
Переглядів 231Місяць тому
Got this tech bag 7 months ago and have gotten a lot of use as my #everydaycarry for my work laptop. The only reason it will be replaced is I will have the small TomToc tech pouch after the holidays. This pouch is a little big for a messenger style laptop bag. I will have to find a new use for it. #edc #edcgear

The most exclusive knife of 2024 🤣
Very cool video once again! I'm just curious though how many of those bags do you carry everyday? The shot pouch that you used that one time when you duct tapped is kept on you too or in the truck? Sorry you got rear ended and hope nobody was hurt. Happy Holidays.
@@scratchbuiltreplicas824 So the Tomtoc sling I show that has the 5 pouches in it is carried everyday to work along with the tech bag, shot pouch go in my laptop bag and picket items like the tin. If I am just going out shopping or to a supper club only the pocket items make the cut. If we go to the in laws or parents for a visit or a shorter hike the Lole small sling gets carried to bring some extra items. If we take a weekend trip to a state park or national park I will carry the 4L Tomtoc slings for those. It is a modular system that allows me to grab what I need when I think I need it. That said I should probably put some items in my wife and daughters cars like duct tape because you just never know when it is needed. I believe everyone involved in the accident was generally ok, but the cops got me out of there pretty quickly since my vehicle was drivable. Overall my theory is to be practically prepared and it’s ok to use something only once in a great while, because that one time use could be important. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
@cgolf100 oh that's so cool. Thanks for the response. Glad everyone was ok.
Didn't watch the video... The $ goes before the number.
@@brad32443 I will actually fix it, but I have always liked it the wrong way with no decimals. I also spell grey wrong;).
I still prefer my Tomtoc aviator.😊
@@Rick-fz7tt nice I did look at those, but had already ordered a couple of Alpaka slings when they had a huge sale. TomToc products are amazing.
Love those 97 deals.
Thanks for the shout! I'm going to finish watching your video tonight. Let me think about that one a little bit and I'll put something together.
It’s a fun exercise in see what is really used during the year. Also helped me to figure out what I should be using as well. Looking forward to see what you come up with
I bought one a few days ago then later realized I i got a Gen 1 so I bought two more today and one of them was a Gen 2
Nice!!! I enjoined it. Loved that G-shock! Yeah, it’s kind of sad that Olife discontinued the pouch and now old Olife doesn’t even exist. You can tell that you put a lot of thought into setting up your gear. It’s definitely an interesting experiment seeing what you use the most.
no TEMU please
@@johnnynguyen2236 they are also available on Amazon. Just tried a cheap reel to see how they are nowadays.
I managed to get 2 at separate times the one that I bought earlier is slightly different from the newer one a different shade of orange diffrent markings it also has a more sturdy lock but the blade doesn't come out of smooth
One has a reversible pocket clip and the other doesn’t
Add oil or open it and adjust the clip it’s super easy I put custom scales on these for fun
@@charlesanastasia7574 3d printed scales?
@@Trustory209 yea
That’s just store employees hiding them to flip online 😂😂
@@spicyguacc I was 50/50 on getting them. The two stores showed online inventory but they couldn’t find them;) and 2 stores had them in the cabinet but did not have a spot to display them. Still amazed they are still scarce. The new 5 buck version is out of stock locally too.
@ if I find more locally I’ll let you know.
Just ordered 50 to resell
@@platypus1287 Is the demand still that high for them?
Lol luar
I just bought one out of the glass display yesterday. It's a great $10 blade
@@ChrisvilleUSA same. I went to get a Civivi mini praxis for my wife and daughter this week and saw 6 laying in the back of the case so grabbed one for my daughter. Person that checked me out said they still aren’t lasting long in store.
@cgolf100 yes. There were about 10 the day before and I grabbed the last one on display
great knives! D2 OT is awesome!
That’s how I got mine. Got 2 only, didn’t want to be greedy
I just managed to snag the last one on the display yesterday. I had to hunt down someone to open the glass for me and hope nobody else found an employee to open it and grab it before me. I'm loving this knife, and I'm super glad I checked for it.
Same exact thing happened to me at Walmart today. They had a full display the last time but when I got there today 15 minutes from closing I saw one left and there was only one employee who 5 people already asked for help from. I should've got it when they were stocked up but I'm lucky I still got it 🤞
The VE18 has the 2 slip pockets at the front rather than 3
I have this knife. Have flipped it enlessly for weeks now. Still no blade play and still super smooth. And I drank my peach whisky yesterday. Cheers!
I just got mine from Walmart website yesterday. Ready to pick up in less than 24h it's nice. Plus, I'm not about to run out and pay over $50 for any knife. 😂
I found them walmarts website
Sweet deal, brother! enjoy your new blade and the drinks too!
This is not true at all. Found one right on the knife display
@@AndyisIDC That’s a good thing that they are finally catching up. I also got the 5$ version last week and it really doesn’t compare to this one.
@cgolf100 nah, you're right. The $5 version is junk in my opinion. You can literally bend the handle and no D2
County Comm makes a Gen 2 version of the tin, that is a bit better built, that one can get. They also make silicone dividers for them as well.
Grande!
What sougayliang model is the reel thanks
@@waynemoody7354 I looked at the.link and it doesn’t say which model. Honestly the reel looks different now too and I don’t have the box it came in. Sorry I can’t help you out.
spinner bait are my favourite lure. i catch more fish with those than anything else. i put trailers and kind of jig with them, so effective. pikes, bass, walleye even muskies
I'd love to watch your fishing video if you're going to make one
@@trilo_boy I will do that soon. I have to make some for my father in law. Soon may be today.
Actually I misunderstood I am making a spin not on the water.
whats the name of that blade plz thanks for the tips
@@bigmikefishingchonicles9950 If it’s the one I said I would add to the description it’s a Hurricane blade. Here is the link. www.lurepartsonline.com/1045-Hurricane-Spinner-Blades-5pk Thanks for watching.
👏👏👏
Thanks for watching and after the holidays I will have the VE22 and VE31 to load out and will likely reload my VE10. Can't wait to see what you come out with next!
@ thanks for support, next is CHW3 modular bag available on Kickstarter soon🙌
Thank you for the tip I did exactly what you asked me to do and I was able to get me two of them too thank you
It's "Has way "too" many hobbies" not "to" many hobbies. Your channel title doesn't make sense otherwise.
@@procrusteus Thank you, fixed it.
Or maybe what he mean is, he "has way *TO* many hobbies" not "has way *TOO MANY* hobbies"

nice kit, same thing i did to a couple of pens haha cool 😁

Really cool kit! Nice job
Thank you and thanks for watching
@@cgolf100 You are welcome
Cool! I wonder if it is warm for a concert or beach.
@@scratchbuiltreplicas824 The material is 20D and 70d rip stop nylon and polyester, claims the website. Hope that helps.
@@cgolf100 thx
I like it
Schedule it for store pickup. Sometimes they don’t even take them out on display and they’re gone. That’s how I got my first one.
Picked up mine today (the Walmarts have restocked). Right out of the package it’s so dull it wouldn’t cut its own receipt. 😑 I’ve also got a ‘sticky’ action so it won’t flick open and needs some help to close. For $10 I guess I got what I paid for 🤷♂️
@@garrettlundy3959 That’s a bummer. Wonder if the quality control has dropped to try and meet demand. Thanks for watching and hope you can return it and get a better one.
@@cgolf100 I’m assuming the Chinese slave making my knife was allotted fifteen seconds to assemble the product. I’m sure my first two problems will be corrected by disassembling, cleaning, and reassembly. As for sharpening I’ve got probably a dozen knives that I really need to bring to the professional and have them sharpened. I’ll just have this one done at the same time.
Tons of QC issues. Omega springs breaking immediately, terrible detents, warped and uneven grinds
Every store for a 40 mile radius had them sold out
My first experience was pretty bad. The lock didn’t work and it almost cut me.
That sucks. That is the first I have heard of a big issue with the knife. So far I have only heard that there was a little blade wiggle, fixed with tightening, or the blade wasn't centered. Hopefully they can replace it for you. Thanks for watching.
@@cgolf100 you are welcome. I just flat out returned it. Maybe one day I’ll buy again but that was a pretty sour experience
Really nice! I love this. Thank you for sharing. This inspires me to improve my edc.
You're welcome and thanks for watching
So many on ebay. Btch*ss resellers be buying them.
I am the team lead of our local Walmart and make sure there is always a display of knives availiable but will sell the display on occasion but these knives are HOT I will sell 6 of these to each Swiss tech,gerber, or crkt
This has become my favorite knife. I absolutely love it
Nice kit! Good job
Thank you and thanks for watching.
@@cgolf100 you are welcome!
I have several TomToc pouches, this Temu is NOT identical (compared them side by side!)
Thanks for the information, I was very curious how they compared. I am hoping to be getting the small TomToc tech case as a gift, as this tech case ultimately is to bulky for my laptop bag, but has held up very well. I really like the 3 TomToc slings I have. TomToc makes it easy for me to justify not overspending on other brands. Thanks for watching.
I hate to say it, but that style of Ferro rod is garbage. That handle is going to come off of there. Worse case is if you’re trying to work with it and the rod flies off and you can’t find it because it’s black and dark out. Dollar tree usually carries the medium BIC lighters which would fit nicely. The Harbor Freight “fire starter” is a block of magnesium with a rod on the side. It’s better than the one with the handle on the sense that you can scrape shavings off the block as a flash tinder
Put some superglue around the base of the ferro rod and you will be fine. Add orange paracord in case you drop it. You will be able to find it. That ferro rod will throw a spark just as well as the big expensive ones.
Have you noticed that some colors are darker.mine is a dark color compared to others
@@kerrydiecast1484 I have been hearing that. Mine don’t have that issue. Let’s hope that color is the only quality control issues they have. From the stress test videos I have watched it looks pretty solid.
One guy in the WM reviews dyed his black with Rit dye. I had no idea you could do that. I don’t know if he dabbed it on with a very small brush or what, but I can’t imagine it won’t rust if you put it down in the water. Maybe he rubbed it with the dry powder.
@@kerrydiecast1484 I don’t if this is the same guy, but what a coincidence I saw this right after posting my previous comment: ua-cam.com/video/p8CjObvhtfw/v-deo.htmlsi=zaNtQc1d0U8dEjqi
Yes I got 2 the one I got more recent is a diffrent shade of orange its brighter
I think that is the incase charger that is being recalled. …
@@enriquediaz7547 yes it is I am patiently waiting for my replacement. It’s a bummer because I really liked it. Thanks for watching.
