Saw a 12 year old young man at the range the other day. On his belt clip was a small flash light, pry bar, Victorinox knife, pill bottle, and ferro rod. good for him.
There’s some of this vibe in all edc stuff but the pocket trash subset of edc is just straight up hype beast bullsh** with nearly all pretense of usefulness or preparedness thrown out the window. Even knowing that, the draw is so strong that I’m still attracted to it and like looking at peoples’ collections. We’re all just 6 foot raccoons hoarding shiny baubles.
Kills me that board gamers and RPGers have been buying copper or other metal dice for decades but some pretentious group makes them and charges a shit ton.
I love all the the strange edc stuff . The coins and beads are cool , not for me though I’m not putting anything in my pocket that doesn’t have a real world use . I can always rub my lighter for luck or fidget with my useful gear
I spend a LOT of money on very dumb things. . . Like thousands upon thousands. . . But if I ever spend an absurd amount on a bead to put on a knife lanyard, someone needs to hit me over the head with something. Mostly bc I’d much rather just tie a monkey paw knot at the end of lanyards I tie myself.
Or those overpriced pry bars and mini screwdrivers. I got a PicQuic mini screwdriver for around $10 at the hardware store and sure it's not as "cool" looking as the Big Idea Design titanium stuff but it does the same jobs.
I guess for context regarding Conner's submission: I have never once in my life spent more than $35 for any daily carry knife, having stuck with whatever CRKT or Kershaw was readily available. You've spent over $300 on how many knives now? That's literally 10x price, for what is essentially the same product (something that cuts, and is a tool). It all comes down to what makes you happy, so long as you can responsibly afford it. Conner's submission seems "crazy" to some, but your personal collection seems crazy to me...... and me simply carrying an EDC knife seems crazy to others. :)
@@thedirtroadlesstraveled703 Nope! I really should given that I watch all these EDC folk buying multi-hundred dollar knives...... I just can't justify the cost. My Kershaw / CRKT / etc cut what I need them to cut, pry what I need them to pry, and I don't sweat it if I lose / break / have to replace them.
@@OMEDFOY I agree with the multi hundred dollar knives, but in today's environment, you can find extremely high quality knives for $100 or less. I'm a D2 fanboy, so I am able to find high quality blades under $50 usually, but even my elementum S35 was sub $90. But, my use as a full time camper is more severe than most usage.
@@thedirtroadlesstraveled703 To that I say: GET OUT OF MY HEAD, DEVIL!!! (After your last comment it got me thinking, so I researched "budget quality knives" and am just starting to learn about all the different steel types people buy - and think I found a knife that is both "cheap", but "quality"...... the Civivi Nox? It looks to be around $65 and a lot of people say that it is a "quality" knife for low $$$?
@@OMEDFOY civivi are extremely high quality knives. They are the entry level for WE knives. Ceramic bearings, good blade steel, and amazing fit and finish. Once you buy one, you'll never go back to entry level crkt and Kershaw.
I remember years ago when the EDC subreddit was falling in love with these little handmade fidget toys that spin... Yup. A few years after that is when the cheap fidget spinner boom happened and I laughed so hard at all the people in the subreddit that spent HUNDREDS on custom, hand made, titanium fidget spinners.
Right.quite hard to wrap my head around the logic of spending more than $1000 on a bead that's not even made out of precious metal thought.it's not my money but i can't see any way that's worth it
@@karvast5726 so you put more stock in the material than the artisanship. Others are the opposite, and at that price point it's likely a collectible that can rise in value. But mainly I think it's people (with enough disposable income) who appreciate exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. Some objects just bring you joy to hold and to know that it's yours. Come to think of it, it's extremely similar to expensive watches like Tag Heuer and Rolex. If you don't consider craftsmanship (and rarity) there's just no way to justify their existence.
I wish I still had it… but, I remember back in the day, I had this dope, brass POG slammer. “Yin-Yang” finger depresses. Knurling around the edge. It would make great pocket trash!!
"It's art. It's pocket art." Exactly. And pocket art is a part of human behavior so old that it predates all of our written records. Many prehistoric human tribes were nomadic, and when your entire community periodically has to pack up and travel for weeks or months, you can't carry statues or paintings with you. This is why many of the oldest human artifacts are pocket-size carvings of bone, wood, or stone. It was the only kind of art that nomads could take with them, so that's what they made.
This theme was great! You captured the heartbeat of an entire sub-culture of EDC, and it was so entertaining learning of all the different makers from all of your submissions. Way to forge into some uncharted territory. Carry on! 👊
Loved this video. I'm a bit older and we always had "stuff" in our pockets. I 😊 have alot of fidget toys and some pretty stuff too but I just love seeing all the stuff you guys buy!! It's amazing. Wow is all I can say.
Whatever floats your boat. If someone wants to spend crazy money on little trinkets, hey it's their life and their money. My thing is to be as minimalist as possible. Got into EDC and found I was just weighing my pockets down with stuff that had a very low percentage of being used. So I got a Maxpediton edcm huge maximizer, filled it up with stuff and keep it in the console in my car.
As a machinist at work right now sitting here watching this while I watch 4 robots run 4 lathes I question my sanity for working for the man. Making my bosses filthy rich making oil field tools… I could be making 10 “Knucks” a day that people will pay $2000+ American dollars for. I’m an idiot and I’ve waisted my life, at least my boss enjoys all his Lamborghini’s🤣
I really appreciate your level head. It seems like you think logically and not emotionally. I'm not affiliated with KPL but I do get aggravated when these groups of "adults" reach for their torches and pitchforks and go on a witch hunt. If you like the product, buy it. If you don't, don't. It's that simple. Nice video by the way. Keep up the good work man. 🤙
Well basically the owner of KPL sent a cease and desist order to the owner of Gunny Glide for distribution of the product because the bottles used for both products are the same. So the knife community sided with Gunny Glide and began to boycott KPL.
I was watching this vid with my wife (not an EDCer) and she asked me "what do you do with a decorative coin?".. I said "nothing"... she said "well why carry one around?"... I paused... and said "I donno"
My favorite things to carry around in my pockets are usually a rock I find/shiny piece of metal or even something a friend has given me. I don’t like to take sentimental things outside with me on adventures I lose stuff. If I drop a worthless trinket someone else might come across it.
KPL can and should always fight for their product. Anyone who says they wouldn’t do the same in their place is a liar or an idiot. When you have something that is providing for families it should be fought for and to call that wrong is in its self wrong in ways I doubt I need to explain to decent people.
How does one pick up one of these Hi-Tex chips, very much so interested. I did see on their site that you can donate but it doesn't reveal how to recieve one. Thanks for your insight and really enjoying your videos, I just found your channel!
You have to get them on days they drop either on Facebook or Instagram. If you join their Facebook page quite a few people are selling them so it's pretty easy to get one. Secondary market usually costs a bit more than the drop price though unfortunately.
Guilty also of buying things I don't need but still have practical uses or at a minimum can be fun or at least defeat boredom. Spending that kind of crazy money is simply about showing off lots of disposable income, or large amounts of debt and saying to people "look how successful I am I can wipe my ass with thousands of dollars! Do you think I am cool now?" or one upping your buddies, or believe this is going to gain them internet clout and make people talk about them... Another unintended consequence of the social media" like me" culture.. Doing this doesn't make someone a bad person just an out of touch and probably pretty insecure and maybe trying to compensate..? I don't know. But I do know that there are a lot of people around the world who don't even have access to clean drinking water and people who are not eating a lot of days and 5 grand donated to the right non profit organization could go along way towards drilling a simple hand pumped well for a village or putting food in the mouths of people who are literally starving or getting basic antibiotics to people who are watching their children die from infections that could be treated with a round of antibiotics.... I imagine it might bring you more personal fulfillment knowing that you may have allowed someone to keep their kids from waking up with hunger pains....if u got money to burn feed a kid.
Pocket trash in my eyes is anything other than a pocket knife, pen, or wallet. I just have no use for anything else. BUT, I throughly enjoy watching what others carry
KPL did the right thing! You need to protect your market share and if people are going to try and make a cheap clone of your product the a letter from a Lawyer is the nice thing.
Absolutely loved this episode. Please do more pocket trash videos. Before this video even ended, I already came out with 3 pieces of pocket trash. Loved this. Thank you.
Ohoho, nice ,this is fascinating, like finding some uncontacted Amazon tribe, with a culture build around small shiny more or less usefull stuff. 🤔👌🤓 Btw: what is a doughnuk 🤷♂️
I'm a huge fan of the mhi series and I'm not aware of such a bead existing... I've re-watched thus video a few times trying to hear or see to what you are referring to and I can't find anything. If you ever see this response please reach out to me
I mean you can open a bottle with pretty much anything you can use to get leverage on the cap. a table works perfectly. Not to mention pretty much every other edc tool has an integrated bottle opener.
I recently stumbled on your channel and have been binge watching your videos from several years ago until now. I really enjoy seeing what everyone carries on a daily basis and also seeing what gear is out there. You're doing a great job making people aware of the high quality gear that's out there that just isn't mainstream. I would like to see a edc video that looks at more traditional carry items like what I carry everyday which is a Buck 110, Leatherman rebar, Swiss army knife and just a plain old wallet and watch. Your videos are awesome keep up the good work.
I don’t judge because it brings him joy on the expensive carry. As for any carry, the same goes. I keep trying to find a knife I don’t mind messing up at work, yet keep going back to my Griptilian and a razor knife for cutters. Mostly the Griptilian.
This is it: "Some of this is just art". I explain to those questioning my EDC is that it's art I can carry in my pocket. Only some of them have a practical use.
All the drama aside, you should try Gunny Glide just from a superior product standpoint. Blows KPL out of the water. It's not even subjective it's so much better haha.
I understand that people might not like the KPL thing but if KPL doesn't actively protect their brand this time, they may not win a court fight the next time it happens. It's just a thing with copyrights, trademarks and such.
I just spent $80 on a pry bar and a bead. I don't even need a pry bar. It just looked cool. I have a bead connected to my Gil Tek Ruk but that keeps it from sliding into my pocket so I never have to dig for my box cutter.
Why is issuing a cease and desist a stain on a company? I don't understand, that is for the courts to determine the validity of. It sounds like people are just hungry to cancel.
Pocket trash, not my thing but some really cool craftsmanship displayed and I can get with that. The question I ask myself when it comes to buying stuff is this. If no one in the world ever saw it in my possession, would I still want it?
It makes me laugh the range of comments and people for or against high end edc. I have stuff from a lot of the makers listed in the video. Some cheap, some expensive. One thing I don’t go cheap on is knives. I have no problem walking around with a 2k custom knife in my pocket. I do use them. Each persons idea of realistic and affordable is different. To me, and I’m sure many others, it is also viewed as an investment. I know because of rarity, and exclusivity that must pieces in my collection will sell for the same price I paid, but most likely more. Just do what makes u happy and at the end of the day feel comfortable with.
Oh. Oh dear. Those prices on Conor's EDC. No. But neat to see some Fallout stuff. I have a Platinum Chip that I keep around, I would probably need to get a coin case before I carry it as it's probably pretty rare now and still in good condition. I'd like to keep it that way.
Deffinently appreciate all these treasures. Lately I have been obsessing with all my edc matching, I have a feeling that with all the niches that are out there I am not alone.
People should spend their hard-earned money however they choose. No judgments here. I completely understand buying something that is made by a master craftsperson, artist or maker. I fully encourage people to support individuals or companies creating interesting and unique items. There was some amazing stuff presented in the video.
I'm not in the EDC community, and just learned what "pocket trash" is yesterday. I *am* gonna judge @conzyedc. This guy spent over $12k on all that stuff... and then said "with friends like this, the gear is the *second* best part of this hobby". (emphasis mine.) Anybody who values other people over their own belongings sounds OK to me. He sounds like the kind of person who will show up with $3k work of beads... but would rather spend his time admiring somebody *else's* beads that cost them three bucks, because they made the beads themselves.
I respect the right for you to own what you wish but I don’t think it’s judgement for me to explain that spending $1800 dollars on a copper bead is an inherently bad investment. I guess if you have that kind of money to blow and admire it that much to be satisfied, good for you but I would advise anyone who has doubts not to buy such a thing. Your literally investing $1800 into something with no functional use and a material value of $0.15 in copper. Art in general is only valuable if there is a market for such a thing. The difference is I own a bit of silver, less than $1800. Even if the world went to crap tomorrow, the silver material in itself would still hold some inherent value on the basis of how rare it is besides looking cool. Copper is a highly accessible material and if I had the time, I assure you, I could actually replicate almost the exact same thing for far far less money. I guess assuming that their is not SHTF scenario, art holds some value but it might be difficult to find someone willing to pay that much money to buy it from you if you change your mind which means you might be stuck with it. I spend a lot of money on things that have a functional use and some of those things are even a bit overpriced I know but they still hold a lot of their value to me as something that is useful. I would personally definitely regret buying something that is 12,000 times more expensive than the material that it is made out of and has literally no use. I don’t mean to judge but I cannot in good conscience stand by and say it’s a perfectly intelligent decision for people who may need that money for more important things. I have seen some people fall prey to pretty worthless purchases and it’s heartbreaking how that can end with divorce and financial struggles for something that is essentially a vanity item. There will be some very wealthy people who can justify this to themselves as chump change but most of us cannot.

Love the power pint! Been carrying it for a few months now. Have you used a screwdriver bit in it? I was surprised at the torque you can get on it
All the drama aside, you should try Gunny Glide just from a superior product standpoint. Blows KPL out of the water. It's not even subjective it's so much better haha.
Food safe?
@@CHUCKIT Yes. Should hopefully have FDA approval soon so it can officially be labeled as such.
@@EdgeStoneKnives thanks
I understand that people might not like the KPL thing but if KPL doesn't actively protect their brand this time, they may not win a court fight the next time it happens. It's just a thing with copyrights, trademarks and such.
I just spent $80 on a pry bar and a bead. I don't even need a pry bar. It just looked cool. I have a bead connected to my Gil Tek Ruk but that keeps it from sliding into my pocket so I never have to dig for my box cutter.
Lil over a hundred for my pry bar from combat beads with a bead lol
My laugh is the literal worstttt. Also that knucktendo is 🔥🔥🔥.
'Gag the snek' tho!
Love the flow of new content, keep it up! Will you do the Whiskey knife fight pod again?
What is a knuck? I keep seeing them all over these edc and fidget groups but I have no clue what it is
I’m honestly curious if I can use that knucktendo as a bottle opener
Yo, would loooove another uncommon, unusual, pocket art, etc ep later! Really fun
Hey, sorry about the ask but what is the meaning of this "cooper" coins? I'm from Brazil and here we don't have this
Why is issuing a cease and desist a stain on a company? I don't understand, that is for the courts to determine the validity of. It sounds like people are just hungry to cancel.
Pocket trash, not my thing but some really cool craftsmanship displayed and I can get with that. The question I ask myself when it comes to buying stuff is this. If no one in the world ever saw it in my possession, would I still want it?
KPL did what they needed. Most don't have any skin in their game.
The Hitex "LTSF" is the Let The Salt Flow chip
That one is great
What was the triangle thing? What does it do? What is the doughnuk and what does it do?
It makes me laugh the range of comments and people for or against high end edc. I have stuff from a lot of the makers listed in the video. Some cheap, some expensive. One thing I don’t go cheap on is knives. I have no problem walking around with a 2k custom knife in my pocket. I do use them. Each persons idea of realistic and affordable is different. To me, and I’m sure many others, it is also viewed as an investment. I know because of rarity, and exclusivity that must pieces in my collection will sell for the same price I paid, but most likely more. Just do what makes u happy and at the end of the day feel comfortable with.
That's the point of buying a knuck??
HE CARRIES STUFF LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT LASTS FOREVER THAT'S WHY IT LASTS FOREVER LOVE YOUR STUFF BUDDY
Oh. Oh dear. Those prices on Conor's EDC. No. But neat to see some Fallout stuff. I have a Platinum Chip that I keep around, I would probably need to get a coin case before I carry it as it's probably pretty rare now and still in good condition. I'd like to keep it that way.
is there a way it'd not a waste to spend that on a bead? what am i missing? is it hand carved, or have rhodium in it?
i dunno, that's a pretty distinct bottle, i get defending it if it could be confusing if its a trademak or patent
Deffinently appreciate all these treasures. Lately I have been obsessing with all my edc matching, I have a feeling that with all the niches that are out there I am not alone.
Love the new format dude! The EDC Network Chief Correspondent!!
Where does one get full brass knuckles ?
Try knockout knucks.
People should spend their hard-earned money however they choose. No judgments here. I completely understand buying something that is made by a master craftsperson, artist or maker. I fully encourage people to support individuals or companies creating interesting and unique items. There was some amazing stuff presented in the video.
Doknuck? Doughnuck? $50? 100? $200? What is this? Why does this exist? A waste of aluminum & brass? Thats worse than pocket trash..
So pockets full of useless “stuff”? Just kidding good video, I’ve been looking for a beer bomb, is that what it’s called?
Tried carrying a SOG Power Access. Just couldn't do it. Just doesn't feel like a quality, reliable tool.
Breakfast Club EDC is the new hi-tex
i use lucas gun oil for all my knives pivot point's ! works fantastic !
Trust me, people have spent 2 grand+ on waaaaaay worse things.
Hey Taylor, where can I get a trooper bead, I mean come on that's Awesome:))
You'd definitely like the Lautie Crocbeats .. do try them out if you haven't already :)
I'm not in the EDC community, and just learned what "pocket trash" is yesterday.
I *am* gonna judge @conzyedc. This guy spent over $12k on all that stuff... and then said "with friends like this, the gear is the *second* best part of this hobby". (emphasis mine.)
Anybody who values other people over their own belongings sounds OK to me.
He sounds like the kind of person who will show up with $3k work of beads... but would rather spend his time admiring somebody *else's* beads that cost them three bucks, because they made the beads themselves.
Didn't know this was a thing.Been doing and making this most of my life.(I'm in my sixties)
Great video! Very inspiring and fun.
I have a few things that I would like to EDC.
I'm going to try it out for a while.
Thanks
"Don't need a bottle opener very often🔪☠" 👌🏾😅🍻
Where can someone buy a nuktendo? I can't find a website for northeast oddities
What about a platinum chip?
This Was An Awesome EDC Weekly !!
I respect the right for you to own what you wish but I don’t think it’s judgement for me to explain that spending $1800 dollars on a copper bead is an inherently bad investment. I guess if you have that kind of money to blow and admire it that much to be satisfied, good for you but I would advise anyone who has doubts not to buy such a thing. Your literally investing $1800 into something with no functional use and a material value of $0.15 in copper. Art in general is only valuable if there is a market for such a thing. The difference is I own a bit of silver, less than $1800. Even if the world went to crap tomorrow, the silver material in itself would still hold some inherent value on the basis of how rare it is besides looking cool. Copper is a highly accessible material and if I had the time, I assure you, I could actually replicate almost the exact same thing for far far less money. I guess assuming that their is not SHTF scenario, art holds some value but it might be difficult to find someone willing to pay that much money to buy it from you if you change your mind which means you might be stuck with it. I spend a lot of money on things that have a functional use and some of those things are even a bit overpriced I know but they still hold a lot of their value to me as something that is useful. I would personally definitely regret buying something that is 12,000 times more expensive than the material that it is made out of and has literally no use. I don’t mean to judge but I cannot in good conscience stand by and say it’s a perfectly intelligent decision for people who may need that money for more important things. I have seen some people fall prey to pretty worthless purchases and it’s heartbreaking how that can end with divorce and financial struggles for something that is essentially a vanity item. There will be some very wealthy people who can justify this to themselves as chump change but most of us cannot.
What is a DoughNuk, what is its use?
WOW. Connor paid more for his knife than I did for my car.
Man people pouring out KPL. Brings me back to the cliff stamp/mike Stewart feud.
How do you order northeast oddities stuff? I’m not Instagram savvy and couldn’t figure out how people order if they wanted to.
Your chip is like a military challenge coin, which us soldiers won't be caught without.
For that kind of coin I'll buy a dremel and carve out my one off beads that nobody else has.
