Been carrying the Streamlight Protac 1L- 1AA for around 4 years. Sometimes carry the Microstream as a secondary. Have the 90 version as well. Own at least 20 of their lights and have given me many, many years of satisfaction.
I’ve been rocking the Chums wallet for going on 10 years now. I have a few other wallets I like to switch to for a time, but I always come back to the Chums.
On the wallet department, you went way down from Trayvax. I'm big on Trayvax, but the metal part is killing my jeans and shorts pockets. I would like them to do the same wallets in all leather. My opinion.
I highly suggest looking into the CWF micro click or Apollo from Tactile turn. Made in USA. Not only does a $20 Chinese flashlight not match your brand or personality, it means that they did not use a single high quality component in it. The clicky button in a good flashlight will cost $7 alone, then you want copper and solid metal in there for safety and heat dissipation which also increases performance. Godspeed.
I like the monthly EDC reviews! I’ve been looking for a light, I’ll check this one out, and the “fake blade” is interesting for sure! I’ve got a Trayvax wallet (SEI edition) but the price point of this chums it’s interesting.
Would love to get that light but I see so many negative reviews on Amazon. I love the simplicity, size and tail switch. I’ve carried an Olight i5t or i5r for many years for the same reasons. Let us know how well yours holds up over the long run. Great video!
Ngl I’m dropping the archer pro v2 I really like the price point 15$ but you are getting a tool with no QC whatsoever so mine has lube and metal shaving on it it does clean up nice but the tail cap is rough metal and just GRINDS the anodizing right off of the internals and you 100% can feel the feedback with every use. I feel like i would easily pay 20$ for a version where they just polish the metal on metal friction especially on the tail cap since it is a metal button meant to have metal on metal friction. I hope this made sense. Also it advertises a turbo mode of 900 lumens for about eight seconds before the whole thing just dumps its battery 🪫 but imo it’s not at all brighter than the 500 lummen standard “high” mode. So idk I feel like in 2025 we should have a light this size that performes significantly higher than this, even at this price point. Like the Sabre, example might actually be that light or the archer pro v2 colab with the electric front switch might be that light but both of them will have the same cheap tail caps. I did like the O/S on the archer system too, it’s very very similar to black diamond headlamps so I really hope they up their game soon they could easily dethrone olight/night core/fenix just because they have less investors atm and significantly more control of their company. It’s probably why we’re seeing such a high value to cost ratio with them currently but again at the clear cost of QC.

Love these videos! You’re the one that got me into knives many years ago…Along with electric skateboards, Drones, etc…
Cool to see a Chums being used as an organizer. Very underrated for that purpose i say.
I wanna see electric skateboard reviews again! They are so fun!

Omg I was looking for this info since I’m doing a lot traveling for work!!! Your are the man!
Just got the same wallet Friday lol. I love it too!!! Takes me back to being a kid with that style material and zippers.
Love the idea of monthly test runs!
Solid EDC lineup!!! Berber Chonk is super clean.

Been carrying a Chums almost 10 years now. Still going strong. Use the windows for a QR Code entrance
Need more info on that watch. How and where did the mods come from ?? It looks sick!!!
nice kit, very compact and useful
Talon, where did you find the watch strap for your Casio?
I’m a big fan of the chonk. It’s a great budget replacement for the all access pass.

Chums wallet is nice. I have had one for years, but finally, one of the zippers failed on me. Good for the price tho
Your mugger gets a wallet AND a truck. 😂

Cool stuff
I like that you're trying out new stuff! Leads to some cool revelations.
Have you had an issues with the magnetic band on the watch?
Not yet and I’m surprised. Thought it would be weird but it has been perfect
Is bringing a g10 knife through TSA not a felony under the law preventing sneaking in weapons? It’s not worth the time in jail to try. Any ideas?
I’m not an expert on tsa regulations but like I said, I didn’t and wouldn’t fly with that.
@talon what about EDC firearm anything new or still the same ?
Nothing new but this month was about TSA friendly edc
@@TalonSei No worries
Peak Design? Interesting choice.
Any plans for a mini G10 SD3?
Casio ae1200 wh is a good
low budget edc watch for functionality.
I literally just bought that chums wallet 3 days ago
Talon, you should start stacking silver coins/gold. I could see you enjoying the hobby 😀
Link of the watch brand??
What t-shirt are you wearing?
🤙🏻
When he's getting older, he will NEED a pouch 🤓🤓
The only reason I don’t carry a knife with me I can’t find the one I want if I do see one I like that I might want to carry. It’s too expensive.
Whats Ryan’s website?
www.2feathersproductions.com/
Kings loot wallets
So is firearm not a thing for you anymore ?
Not when it’s TSA approved edc
So you don’t carry a pistol?
That frowned upon when you are getting on planes.
You played hockey? Now i know why i subconsciously thought you were cool.
Do not Fly with that blade in your carry on. Just put your knife in your check bag

Trayvax tool is great.
