I literally have a pouch coming in today and needed some ideas. Perfectly timed vid.
I've had the Garage Built Gear ultimate organizer and tech organizer for months. Best ones I've found for my needs. Glad you liked this Taylor.
Cool video. I have molle gear for work and a pan8 in my car. You just inspired me how to organize my gear in all of my bags and car and you have me some awesome exciting ideas that may work for me. With that thank you for these kind of videos
I’ve had that exact olight warrior mini in that battle bronze color for about 3 weeks now, like it a lot.
Great video. Now I want to update my EDC gear for my bag.
Truly appreciate this review. Garage Built Gear has some really cool stuff. I'll be upfront, that is a HUGE EDC kit. You throw something like that into your now reviewed Mystery Range 15L that is your current EDC, it would take up a major portion of the main pouch. I think folks approach EDC as needing everything to include the kitchen sink. You can what if and look at options for every scenario and you'll find yourself hauling far too much. Find things with multi-uses; look back over a month at what you used, etc. Far too easy to just have too much stuff.
These videos make me wanna get something like this together. Thanks Taylor, you are costing me money 😉
Every video I watch of his I usually see something new that I want and it's so expensive but I learned to slowly accumulate things because their always coming out with newer and better things to add to a kit like this
that damasko watch looks amazing!!
It is definitely on my list!!
Really like that bag...ideal for what I'm looking for. Love the video.
Totally agree with the Knipex pliers, I use them as least as often as I use my knife.
Nice...love that kit. I need to build mine out more
You always have great info, thank you.
Knipex 150mm(6inch) cobras and pliers wrench, you can do some damage with those two on a pouch and a leatherman with a bit kit
Hi Taylor, Any videos on sharpening knifes and what you use? Thanks Norm
Hook and loop two rolls (grey and black ) available at Lowes $5.50 -/+ . I use those a lot too.. best value
for sharpening try falkkniven dc4..its 3 in one , diamond, fine ceramic, and pouch u can use as a strop
I have an EDC bag which I can carry with me in my vehicles and in it is the items which I would need in an emergency and I have two first aid kits and a multi-tool from Gerber. The bag also have a folding knife which can be used if needed and still have room for more items and it isn't heavy either.
Wow that enigma pocket probe is sweet, wish it was in stock!
For the Olight, remember theres a tactical mode for the tail switch so you get high and then strobe instead of low and high.
It blows my mind that this guy can make a stick of lock tight look so cool and cinematic
Sweet setup for sure. Those are some nice gadgets.
I like the valve handle on the pry bar
Love my knipex pliers wrench. Highly recommend it for the smooth jaw.
Just a question can't you just buy them in a Hardware Shop?
@@John-gx7io absolutely. But these one have a cutco esque salesman that goes around to mechanics shops, clamps down on a pipe, and stands on the five in handle. That pays for itself /s
Knapix makes and amazing pair of bolt cutters in 6 and 10 inch as well
The olight warrior mini is the best do it all flashlight. The tail switch is magnetic. As a networking guy this is so useful when working in network racks. The tail switch offers medium and turbo (I believe) in both momentary and constant. The side button gives you moonlight, low, and high. Love this light!
Knipex, charge. Your kit is approved!
Awesome Vid as always.
Good video. That's a good set of tools if it works for you.
Love your channel!
Taylor that is an awesome EDC.
Knipex Cobras are cool but also check out Lobster UM30X adjustable wrench! It's super lightweight@ 6.2 oz , has 3 points of contact on nuts and bolts, and is adjustable from 8-30mm (approx 1/4" to 1 3/16")
Dude I’m new to your channel and you STRAIGHT up got me into the EDC concept! You genuinely got me thinking!
Join the discord. You will find a lot of cool stuff there.
Dude it will distinctly change the way you carry. I have dissembled my keys and carry many times...
I can confirm after years of testing blades Tajima are the best I’ve founds. They sell quality tools, the steel pencil is awesome.
Just had a 72+ hr power outage due to wintery
mix ice storm that froze all the trees and they fell on the power lines. I’ll tell you what, I’ve got a lot of prepping to do. One thing I know I’m keeping a battery powered flashlight on me all the time now. Pissing in the dark is like pissing into deep space horizon.
Hey Mate, can you recommend a similar sized pouch (roughly 12x5ish) ? Preferably off Amazon as I'm in Australia and most companies don't ship directly here. I have 2x Maxpedition Fatty which are awesome. Cheers 👍
Nice choice of gear
If you want to add another knipex tool to your kit get the one they call pliers wrench. It looks like what you have only the jaws are flat and smooth. They stay parallel and adjust like the other pliers. It's like the pliers and a crescent wrench together. They don't slip like a crescent wrench can because as tight as you squeeze the grips the grab but if you let off they index around fasteners. They are so handy they're my go to tools for everything except where a socket and breaker bar are needed.
I've been curious about the plier wrench, if it was really that great
It has become my go to tool. Most of the time it's all I need.
Nice video!
That EDC organizer is sold out. What is your second favorite?
Hey I have just recently getting into edc. I have been looking at a lot of pry bars. Do you think you could make a pry bar video? Thanks
Like that bag.
Nice kit.
Great video: I have a question on the 5 inch Knipex Cobra please: the button has a tendency to get stuck when depressed and I have to jiggle the handles to get the button to disengage and "snap" open. Not always but annoying. Is this normal? Thank you.
Hey guys! I'm looking for a pouch like the one Taylor uses in this video, currently I use three different cases/pouches/bags for work; one for my cables, another one for my pens and pencils and another one for my personal hygiene stuff (portable toothbrush, deodorant, etc). Non the less having them separate seems to be too space consuming, specially because my bag it's pretty thin. I figure a large but thin single pouch would be much more useful, non the less since I don't live in the US the cost of ordering the one in the video doesn't seem worth it. Do any of you have a suggestion for something similar buy aveilable in Amazon. Thanks!
I love the pack they are good to use
Have you checked out off grid knives, I'm thinking about getting the badger edc, any thoughts? Thank you, love your channel
Good one Taylor
So good 🤙
Hey Taylor you should check out the Sheffield utility knife, it’s a pretty classy utility knife for 17 bucks
You need a small lock pick set in there man...awesome skill to know!.
Does he really?
Knepix is my favorite tool brand
That’s an AWESOME pouch
DAMN! I went to just go buy one of these pouches and they’re sold out in all colors. Bummer!
I don't get the small channel locks. What do you actually use them for? I get big channel locks. I would at least add a piece of pipe for leverage. I'm taking our xample and started building out a little house/car kit. I just picked up a little Hart compact 10oz hammer for 5 bucks at WM which I'll just keep in the bag. I think this might turn into a tool series. I like the idea of purpose built minimal kits you can just grab when you need to and leave when you don't. Thanks.
What do you think of the orbit key nest?
@Taylor Martin You should build a complete IFAK or trauma kit.
I love these EDC kits, but notice how none of the tools have any sign of wear whatsoever.
They're really just toys for men, which is fine, but not exactly practical for a working man
You could definitely use all this stuff, but yea this video is basically jewelry for blue collar guys
As a woman on a farm I do take a little offence. My EDC is invaluable to me and while I do not carry a kit like this (this would be a ridiculous amount of weight to carry on my person and too many tools where I would place it in a road kit or go get the actual tool for the job if at home) I find my EDC to be invaluable to meet my everyday needs. I carry a Leatherman Surge with the bit extender/ratchet, a hankey, a Leatherman Micra (fits in all jeans and overalls that have a traditional watch pocket) and this small scissors even opens my kids snacks. My hankey has been used for everything from a sweat headband, tied on the end of a livestock training pole, worn as a face covering for dust, tied over my head to keep sweat and hair back, blow my nose, wipe my hands, wrap up a small wound in the field on myself or livestock, dipped in the lake and laid over a minnow bucket to shield from sun and keep cool, to so many uses I simply can't remember all of them. I do use my multi tool as I may find wires from fencing loose or sticking up or loose screws. I use it around my home vs going and getting my drill gun or even a screwdriver out because it's on my belt or in my pocket so it's within reach. I cut open bales of hay with it. I can even whip out my micra when my nail breaks in the field and file the edge down so it stops catching on everything, like the inside of my gloves.
I have no argument that some people take "EDC" (it's not EDC if you aren't carrying it everyday) to obscene levels and the weight of the items is incredibly unrealistic for the average person to carry with them and that the tools or amount of tools are unlikely to be used on a daily or frequent basis, which makes it not actual EDC. It never used to be called "EDC" and growing up, even as a girl, I was asked if I had my wallet, pocket knife and eventually a multitool (had to earn my stuff), my hankey, and my stuff together as it used to include things like a watch where now it includes a phone. In farming, fishing, and hunting I was not to not trust a person w/o a pocket knife and a man without a hankey had no manners. We simply didn't have a name for it as it was expected and we know to not carry so many tools or so much weight because we would be expending too much energy doing so. It's foolish. It's also not only for men as the women I am friends with carry like I do and know just as much as these men do about tools. Maybe it's jewelry to some women to have their Leatherman engraved with their name on it and given to them for an achievement or completed major task like helping to raise the barn, getting their first deer, or training their first horse.
Hey Taylor you should make a website where you sell edc stuff like blade hq does...there's a UA-cam called canadian prepper who does that for survival gear and I would definitely support you on kickstarter
Are there other pouches like this of the same size? These have been sold out on their website for some time now.
Knipex (the k is actually pronounced according to my german collogues) is expensive but the last wrench you will ever need in any application.
Nice video! Would you happen to have any discount codes I could use to get my bag started?
What color is the ultimate-edc-folio-organizer btw?
hello my friend very nice video can you tell me the brand of screwdriver with its noses and bearings thank you
I always been a big fan of full-size channel locks
i bought the 5 inch -- wish I had gotten the 6 inch
hi what is the tool @ the end for sharpening a knife edge
This is the first time I’ve been this early
You're correct, that's not a med kit... it's a knuckle buster kit for your tool kit. For those little cuts and such you get while working. Throw one in your truck kit too, along with electrical tape and a few thick paper towels to mend the real knuckle busters.
You should try out either the Wera Tool Check-plus or the Wera Bit Check (if the Bit Check I'd reccomend one of Wera's multi-bit screwdrivers)
Agree! These are so compact but literally replace screwdrivers, socket wrenches. Pair that with Knipex and it clears out the toolbox. I use these all the time.
And how much does all that weigh? Food for thought - your EDC bag is close to the size and weight of my bug out bag.
I keep the Knipex cobra 87 01 125 as well as the Knipex pliers wrench 86 03 125 n my pocket at all times. Im an industrial tech and I reach in my pocket for them and my Leatherman Surge more than I reach in my tool bag. If I could find a good pocket worthy set of folding hex keys I’d probably never reach into my bag.
What color way is this? Is it the dark brown waxed canvas?
Can you do a vid about budget mulitools
Tim the tool man Taylor
What’s wrong with an adjustable wrench? I carry that and Irwin channel locks
What is the cool poster in the background?
Anyone know a good key alternative that I can re program to get rid of my key/key fob combo from like 2000. I’m tired of having jingle keys and bulky key rings. I have the rest of my stuff in a key smart but it doesn’t fix the car key problem
I never thought the phrase "I have a boo-boo kit 😤" could be said so aggressively until now LOL
🤣
Seems as tho the Leatherman bit kit isn't sold in Canada... Are their sockets proprietary or are there any other bits that might fit?
They are sold on the Leatherman Canadian Website
What do people actually use pry bars for? I have never come across a time that I have needed one or even a time when one would come I handy
Clearly, you don’t do enough prying.
Nice to see some people are still in the chips, certainly not me,,,,
Can anyone recommend an alternative to this pouch. It’s been sold out for a long time.
All i want is a link to buy that hoodie, like right now.
Did you find the bit from the first tool kit video?
knipex is german Quality you cant beat Them But There ist also a adjustable wrench That Looks like auf chanellock
Is it approved for taking on an airline?
I always make my own pouches- not hard. They are custom made for the contents- no bulges or wasted space.
@bestdamnedc my TPT Slide blade barely peaks out on the first lock. Is the blade installed properly. Any help would be appreciated
I'd ask the discord man, best of luck.
Is this kit for a backpack you have all the time? A hiking pack specifically? It does seem to be a lot of tools to keep on your person every day. Then again if you’re using them enough it makes sense
the Gerber Center Drive multitool not only can function as normal screwdriver BUT! it also accepts standard universal bits! AND has the longest blade of all multitools!
I have one. It’s fine. I prefer Leatherman.
I don't like the Leatherman bit kit, so I bought the 13-piece Wiha bit set (#77781), which easily fits into a Tic Tac box. The bits work well with the Leatherman bit extender, but they can be a bitch to get out without pliers..
Lol I have both sets and you're absolutely right, I put the wiha bits in A tic tac can on the side of my knipex case.
Mine is very similar but way less gucci. You are missing a silcock key, and i see no lighter, no tape or super glue, or stitch kit for buttons or pack. In this size kit a better pair of scissors than the leatherman would be clutch. A couple pair of gloves and some spare disposable face masks, and maybe a couple of plastic bags.
Agree bout Sillock key .
One day I’ll scoop up that EDC organizer I feel like a crack addict watching his instagram and website lol 🤣
Sometimes I feel bad for edc channels as I feel like they have pressure on them to constantly change their edc so they can make new videos on them.
thats half the fun mate, "What am i gonna carry today!"
@@ChinmayH half of them sit at home so why having edc kit anyways? I dont see point living in city and luring edc backpack all the time. Forget all, for a starters how many guys are capable or willing (not to pass put) provide first aid? Another fun fact there is a world outside US, so having backpack in the car containing knife or some sort of knife is a crime!. When police stop you and search vehicle you can get in pretty big trouble!
@@CroIntr00X you can just configure your tool kit that's conducive for your country regulations..
Its because basing your entire channel on the idea of just that is pointless
Kinda but they get tossed freebies more often then most of us who watch and have to go out and actually make a purchase. I'm certain they also purchase knives, tools and other misc gear.
Why prybar but no mallet?
When your daughter gets a bit older you'll need a bit more first aid my friend trust me I have two boys and need mainly tweezers and plasters (bandaid)
Anyone know the name of pouch?
Hi Taylor!
You don't have to pay 35 to $45 for those channel locks the ones that carry at harbor freight are legitimately awesome I have put them through continuous torture test and they are no less quality at a fraction of the price.
Don’t get me wrong, I love so cheap tools from Northern Tool and Harbor Freight. But rest assured, they are not of the same quality. At all.
Which channel locks do you like at harbor freight? I want to get an inexpensive pair for a edc tool kit.
Missing a sharpie
Sharpie pro!
Please the Name of your Watch in the Video
Nice. So why do you not provide links to these items?
Look again
I love your videos, keep them coming. But every time you talk about any bad ass pry tools and I go to buy one they are sold out or unavailable! I don't think I will ever get one that you recommend, and I definitely don't want something cheaply made and that's not worth scrapping the crap off my boot. LOL See you one the next one.
Yo Taylor! Someone else who has a warrior mini! Also, where did you get the Lego bead attached to the tpt slide?
Zerofeud.
@@evantaylor9695 Nice
