Always fun seeing channels get into/share their EDC gear. As you mentioned, the whole EDC gear thing has really blown up, and there's so many options for basically everything!
I feel through experience EDC is the 80/20 Rule. 80% of the tools you actually use come from 20% of what you carry. I have a tiny Gerber Sidekick that I use more than my $100+ multi-tools. We often carry so much stuff we never actually need. Plus a lot depends on how you dress. If you are in a pair of jeans good luck carrying 12 different knives, tools, flashlights, medical, mags, pistols, etc.
Don’t wear jeans.Simple.I carry off duty every day,and I wear cargo pants that are low vis,and they hold all essentials I need in my loadout.Glock 43x,3 spare mags-two in a double mag pouch on the support side and one in my cargo pocket,Leatherman,Surefire light,folder,and blowout kit with a second tourniquet.Used to wear jeans before I became a Trooper,but I had to evolve,like those of us that know better.Cheers!
@UCZq6yZ00alTYTGbUrO0btNw Ever been in a firefight?Im betting no.I have been and I ran out of ammo once.If it weren’t for a buddy who had an extra I wouldn’t have made it.I’m a combat vet-ask any vet who’s been in a fight and they’ll tell you there’s no such thing as too much ammo.I can easily carry extra mags and it’s comforting to know if the balloon goes up,I’m ready.It’s not about being a hero-it’s about being there and being prepared to save lives.
Thanks for reminding me of the 80/20 rule. And you're probably right.
I just have a to go bag that has all my edc even has a power bank that can keep my laptop charged for 16 hours without needing to be recharged it sits in the bottom of bag when I turn it on I uzip the flap and it works wonders for my edc went from trying to fine space for 4 pill to still having space to add double what I have and having everything I need on a day to day plus emergency I'm more of 80/60 I have things like medical bag that is part of the 40 buck I'd rather I didn't ever need it but will be glad its part of the 40 when I do need it
I wear carpenter jeans with extra side left pocket. Hammer/ax loop. I stuff 7in1 hood-mask/ rubber-coated gloves over stuff/edc on pockets for gear retention. I found my carpenter pants with deep pockets can carry more than my cargo pants and im able to run and be agile better in. 511 pants do well, but i make people paranoid/ and "cameraman" in em.
Your channel is becoming my morning check in habit on youtube. This was an unexpected episode. Very good! But your prepping videos are absolutely terrific!! Thank you for all you do!
It's not exactly bug out gear, but a trickle charger for your car battery is absolutely essential for bugging in. We rarely use our car right now except for doctor appointments, and for groceries twice a month, and I'm blessed to be able to resume court reporting using ZOOM. So our car just sits in the garage. The trickle charger means our battery stays charged. It's very comforting!
@Predbeau101 Letting your car idle for so long is bad for the motor
@Predbeau101 If you're watching this channel you should already have an alternate way to charge your phone and stuff, soooo
@Predbeau101 Starting up car every week or so is not a bad idea, it would be ideal if you could go for a short ride though.
Buying a cheap trickle charger is a good option, they cost about same as you would spend on gas while your car will idle.
Thanks for sharing the Tango Yankee Chip - ordered the big bunch just now - something that is greatly needed
Just ordered 2 x SmallRig tools. Been looking for something like this for a while - yes there are similar items out there but this one hit the mark . Thanks heaps!!
Great video, thank you! I think I have all my gear, multiple split across different backpacks, bags, and always on the lookout for great items/materials for myself or friends, great video!
Hello again Don! I like this format, lots of neat small items. Great job Don
Really appreciate your videos always look forward to them , thanks for your time and talent.
Sootch, love this video!! Keep us updated if you find any more interesting EDC gear!! I think you should make this a regular part of your channel.
Im from Los Angeles and I love all your videos. They help me stay prepared.
Great Video! You are one of the best sources of info on the web…PERIOD!
Awesome video, would like to see more of these,I really love the poker chip idea positive vibes ✌keep up the good work,SP
Thanks so much for all of these reviews and showcasing your EDCs. The Keybar, or a tool like it is so important from a home security perspective. I have a friend who is a locksmith and even taking a quick, momentary glance at my keys, can make almost an exact replica, without ever handling the key. Using a tool to hide your keys can help avoid this from happening. Thanks
Possibly, but the reality is how often are you going to run into a horrible criminal locksmith with a rain-man memory.....??
@@idaho2085 It only takes 1...
Yup. I carry that SOG tool as my keychain, and I love it. And the knife sharpener really comes in handy, when I remember it's there 😆
Really want to thank you for all your reviews watch them all always looking forward to more. My favorite in this review was the gerber driver. Think I will pick that one up. I am a Gerber mult tool fan and have been using over 20 years. take care and God bless.
That spike at the end is really badass! I have something similar that is an extremely sturdy pen, of all things. It can be used to break a car window ,poke someone or actually write a note!
Thanks for the video. I have a few of these and am looking forward to snaggin a few others.
I like the Gerber Armbar: I have 2. I also have both versions of the Gerber Armbar Lite versions. As many others have noted, the bit drive should lock. I have the Gerber Prybrid, as well. I have the larger version, too. I have the Griffin Adventure Tool, along with several other Griffin prybars.
Thank you. Really enjoy your videos and learn so much. Your work is appreciated!!
Been thinking about getting one of those arm bar drives the next time I’m ordering a new knife. And Kershaw pt1 is another great keychain tool. Love that thing.
That hex tool would be a pretty slick addition to my hunting pack. I'm an archery hunter, and I always have a hex set in my pack. Before I make my hike to the stand, I will check over my bow over in case my quiver or sights are loose. When I'm going in, I want to be as quiet as possible, and if my bow is making any noise because of a loose bolt holding something like my quiver, it makes noise. Not to mention if my sights aren't fully tight, it can make an easy shot a missed or wounded animal because it can funk up my pins. I do the same during turkey season going over my shotgun, because your slide can rattle around depending on the quality of gun you're using. I'm a hunter that takes everything into thought when prepping for opening day, so it works for me!
Love seeing so many different approaches to the EDC question
Great idea……great video! Very cool fun stuff. Gonna check out a number of these.
Thanks for the review and shout out! We'll catch you at next Blade Show. You'll have to let us know how you like the MRS6 versus the 8 incher.
I just got the CAT 9 in 1 and I love it especially since it has a pouch for your belt
Comment no.3 the covert defense tool is great because titanium doesn't set off metal detectors. I have an ankle and lower leg full of titanium to prove it
Seriously? I didn't know that....
I am scheduled for total knee replacement in about two weeks, and my doctor says the new knee is almost entirely titanium. So that means I should have no issues with airport metal detectors when I fly....I was always wondering about that.
Yeah, most metal detectors detect ferrous metals only - i.e., metals that contain iron (steel, etc.).
@@flipflopping my dad just had this done and they kept him at home for six weeks before they signed off for him to start with another outside therapy company and we have now since figured out that was a mistake they was milking his insurance! Get started with your regular therapy ASAP, you won't be able to do much at first but we know now he should've gotten started sooner!
Oh yeah it will be to your advantage to buy multiple long last gel ice packs and put them behind your knee back of your upper leg and below, my dad failed on this and suffered a bunch more swelling and inflammation and near risk of infection because he didn't througly ice pack enough
@@flipflopping , as a court reporter I've been through a lot of metal detectors. Never a beep. I've been wanded and scanned at airports too with no problem ever.
@@flipflopping wishing you the best on your surgery, my mother has a whole bunch of titanium screws and pins holding her bones together and she’s never had an issue at the airport :)
Now I need a puncture tool and a spike for my edc! Thanks love these type of videos!
Great gifts for sons and grandson for Christmas. Thanks
Just ordered a penetrator from GG&G tactical this tool seems like a great accessory for SHTF, if there is a water storage system you cannot get into this will surely get through plastic even light alluminum containers. Thanks for the video and letting us know where to purchase them!
Great video. My EDC changes from day to day. Sometimes I have my Chonk Boi CRKT Raikari Field Strip folder or my one of my small.neck knives: Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake designed by Mike Emler or my CRKT SPEW by Alan Folts.
I've usually got my rechargeable headlamp or my Nitecore rechargeable tiny flashlight. I can't afford Olight. I'm going to buy the Gerber Strongarm. It depends on whether I am just carrying my fanny pack or backpack. I love seeing all the different EDC gear.
Awesome video Don. Love my gadgets and gizmos.
I've been carrying the gerber prybrid since xmas. I do like it pretty well. The kershaw select fire is a good one too. I found one at work.
Great job. Great video. Very informative. Thanks...Charles
Thank you Don. What you do matters!
Very cool stuff! Thanks!
thank you sootchoo for the video!!
Thanks for sharing.
@ 5:06 . . .
On this bottle opener
(& many others),
It is not hard to
Change into a can opener
with a file.
It's the same with a good multi tool. I just got a Leatherman Rebar purely because of Gear Acquisition Syndrome (I'm guilty) but since I have it, I actually use it pretty much every other day and it spares me quite some time EDCing it and not having to:
- go get a box cutter
- go get to the tool box to get a screw driver
- go get pliers
- get a bottle opener
- get scissors
- get who knows what tool you need for every day tasks
and not having to put everything back after I used it. Especially handy when you're at work or not at home and you need to have what ever tool at hand and you actually have it in you pocket or at your belt.
It's not just to have it for SHTF or the rare case of self-defense. The other day my wife bought a fen that needed to be assembled. I didn't need to go to the garage to get the tools I needed, I just grabbed the Leatherman from my belt and had everything I needed at hand. Surely a small amount of time that was saved there, but it was oh so convenient. Cutting all those boxes your wife orders at Amazon and put them to small pieces with your serrated multi tool blade is a joy. You want to change strings on you guitar? Just use the wire cutters from your Leatherman (which work better than dedicated wire cutters btw! Went through the thick B-sting of a 5-string bass like it was nothing!) Best $100 investment I made in a long time. The only thing it doesn't do is unscrew your wife. (stupid dad joke, I know)
Same with a tactical flashlight! I got the ThruNite BSS V4, which is just undeniably the best value for your money on the market at the moment! Super powerful tactical flashlight with an aggressive bezel that functions as a kubotan/tactical pen as well. Forget the "glas breaker" function though - you won't break car glass with most glass breaker tools or tactical pens that advertise this. I tried it multiple times on a scrap yard and a normal person won't be able to break a car door window with those, especially not from the inside. For that purpose, have a dedicated spring loaded glas breaker in your car!
And not only do I feel safer (especially where I live, where you can't carry fire arms or even knives), but I use it much more in every day life than I ever thought I would. Even if it is a simple task as to light up the dark parking lot at work or bringing out trash easier, because that land lord refuses to replace bulbs in the container area. Drop something under your car seat, your engine does funny stuff and you need to see what's going on, just pull your EDC flashlight and spare your phone battery or the way to the trunk to get a flashlight. Everyone should EDC at least a tactical light and a multi tool. Seriously! Even if I wear shorts that don't have loops for a belt, I wear a belt with all my EDC stuff on on top of it anyway when I leave the house, because it is so useful and nobody notices you wear it! I call it the "bat belt". I use some EDC hacks, so you don't have to carry a bulky leather cases for each and every item - but bike tire tubes are the greatest solution ever, trust me! Slim and discrete. I never go out without it anymore! In fact I feel naked when I left it at home for some stupid reason! It's even worse than to forget your phone.
"Gear Aquasition Syndrome", I love it, I can finally put a label on my condition! LoL
Not that I want to cure it......well
... not until my wife threatens to confiscate my credit card.
Great video and you got some really nice items there.
Love that Smokey Mountain knife works
Don I really enjoyed this video! I regularly carry a Gerber Dime it was an impulse buy. I can’t tell you how many times that little multitool has saved the day at the range or goofing off with my buddies. Hopefully you’ll make some more of this kinda video.
For the Gerber scalpel knife, you don't need to unscrew to change the blade. Just push the blade out further and you're good.
"The Penetrator"
Don't leave home without it.
That's what she said!
My go to multi tool has been my havalon. What an absolute machine of a tool.
I usually keep a skeletool on a 6 foot hank of paracord that goes into my utility pocket. The pocket I keep my knife and pen light in. The ceramic knife sharpener broke real early on. None the less, it goes with my edc. Just thought I'd share.
Great video! As always good information and Thanks for the shoutout! Let us know next time you’re in town, we’ve got some really cool events coming up soon!
awesome video..very cool tools
Leatherman Micra ~ another great little multi-tool!
／
You don’t have to unscrew the prybrid: just push out the blade further and you can replace the blade. I Carry it daily and I really like it but it’s hard to find a replace blade here in Belgium because there are different types of exacto blade n11...
Awesome video lots of little gadgets
I carry the gerber dime daily. I find a use for it almost every day.
I like the brass keychain. Hopefully I can find it. 👍
My favorite tool on the Gerber Dime is the package opener lol!
It’s my favorite carry tool. I use the package opener all the time.
I prefer the gerber armbar slim I’ve found it a perfect compliment to my little edc tool kit
Been watching you since your maxpedition bag reviews. 10 + years. First comment. Thank you for what you do.
That chip is especially cool. Some cool things there. SEMPER FI
Another fun video!
The Gerber center drive with tool bits and Leather sheath multitool is one of my new favorite EDC items.
I still like my military USA made 600 series multitool with the bit set. It also fits in the US made leather center drive pouch.
Cheers
Just starting out on your EDC It's hard to beat a Victorinox Swiss Army Huntsmam or Camper
But what I use most is my made in the USA medium stockman in a leather pocket pouch that also has a place for a aaa flashlight.
Got the pocket pouch on Amazon.
Cheers
EDC is a leatherman, a small torch, and a handcuff key. This is what I carry. The stuff yuppy's carry is junk, like a mini pry bar, I have a wrecking bar in my car instead.
Great vid! Hope all is well brother!
Thank you for the EDC review Don. I can't get enough of cool creative EDC gear.
That brass kubaton does look really cool! I want to get one for my lady friend. This is a really fun video! Thanks for all you do!
Get your lady friend a membership for self defense classes instead. Invariably a weapon is never handy when you need it, and it can be taken from you and used against you. No woman wants to carry around a heavy hunk of brass that is never used.
I see that you still haven't learned about #550 fishing line. It has the about the same thickness as a single strand of #550 paracord and the same strength. I carry 100' as part of my EDC.
Nice! Thanks for this video. :)
My edc is a ruger lcrx 357mag or a kimber 1911 45acp, Olight baton 3 and a benchmade triage some times i also carry a victorinox tinker swiss army knife.
Have any trouble with the Ruger's polymer frame? My buddy luke had his crack last year, after only about 120 rounds through it.
The spike is cool. The Brits had something similar in WW II for their agents. Just ordered one ... Best from Germany.
Really like the Tango Yankee coin.
MACVSOG was an acronym for: military assistance command Vietnam special operations group,as well as the grinning skull with a beret.
Would be interesting to have that marine spike with barbs or something for spear fishing.
On the Gerber knife there are at least 3 places other than the bottle opener, to open a bottle. I saw a guy once open a bottle on a softball.
Always have carried a multi tool...and knife...also carry mini Ifak...and lockpicks,handcuff key and Firestarter materials
A bong can save your life in a survival situation, you could use it as a makeshift snorkle! And hide from a grizzly r some bandits in the backwoods if you get lost.
Let me say, as a person who has drank my bongwater in a , real life and a survival situation. (No tobacco, and if you don't clean it regularly you might not be able to stand the taste.) [Also any burned substance contains carcinogens, do not drink it.) {Scientifically stupid, or stupidly scientific?}
At the 20:41 mark, that SHIREPOST coin was funny. At the 6:48 mark, I thought that was a WWII German gernade. I think it was nicknamed the POTATO MASHER because of its odd look. Of course it was much bigger than this little screwdriver tool.
I'm not a gear head but I appreciate the video!!
That SOG MACV tool is awesome....my only complaint is that the top notches get caught on keyring and other keys!
Some neat tools in there.
So much cool stuff out there
SMKW rocks-one of my favorite places.
I’ve been considering buying the Gerber Armbar Drive myself,mainly for the bit driver and the scissors..I EDC my Leatherman Rebar but unfortunately,it doesn’t have a bit driver and scissors..I wish I could swap out the knife blade for scissors on my Rebar..I’ve never used the knife blade on my Rebar because I always have a good knife on me
I like the key bar. Smart device.
Light fob on key ring. Skeletool. LCP2. Here at high mountain desert mesa hideout.
That poker chip/coin is such an amazing idea
I bought a pepper spray around a year ago and even though I've never used it I feel like it could be my best edc other than my cell phone.
Spikes are gret for handling knots and lines! Ie. Sailor's Marlin spike
It's a reference to MACV-SOG as in the specops unit throughout the Vietnam conflict
Yep. The toll looks like a skull wearing a green beret.
tool
There were these swiss+tech multitool pliers floating around awhile back with a single diode flashlight built in.
I work with arduino and electrical components a lot, and I've been struggling to find a more heavy duty version of this tool.
I'm not well acquainted with the everyday carry scene. So I figure I'd drop a line and as y'all if you know where to find something similar.
I literally started seriously thinking about EDC today, and this quality video popped up. So glad to have found this channel.
Seeing that SOG tool which incorporates a knife sharpener,I would think more tools should have one of those,because out in the bush or hiking, your knife going blunt on you could be a real nuisance. A sharpener on the multi tool would be a godsend.
I have basically have always carried a knife of some sort and a flashlight. These I have carried over 50 years. Still do. Oh, yea, I also carry a pair of multitool for over 30 years.
Sog skull and Geekey go everywhere I do.
I like a one-and-done piece of useful gear, rather than a bag full of gadgets. But, I will take interest in the Gerber Armbar drive
Wait until they make the version with a locking driver arm. It has a tendency to fold over.
Great vid!
I felt the same about a light till I had that wow moment why didn't I do this sooner
The brass spike can be used to break a car window, or you can use a center punch
Right about the small flashlite, I use mine every day. And it seems like we use scissors every day now.
I carry a Lumintop tool AA 2.0 and a Kershaw shuffle 2
Good starter pack. Mines was shuffle 2 and streamlight microstream usb
@@BYOB561 I carry cheapies because I always lose stuff.
There you go again lol, I’ll see if I can get out of this video without buying something
The 3key mos spike (spike with wrapped handle) is sold out I checked already... lol .. but that's one I'll be getting..
A Bic pen (penetrator) is an excellent self defense tool. Easy to make, discreet and very popular south of the border.
I am a Massage Therapist in Canada, everyone is cranky because they are not sleeping, clenching or grading their teeth, causing headaches....muscles are tight and sore...esp the diaphragm/breathing muscle bc breathing deeper through the masks...stay well
It gets dark EVERYDAY:) torche is a must :)
That antique look driver has another funtction. The narrow part of the body can be used to hold a wrap of electrical tape.
Like you said not for everyone. For me an old fashioned key ring beats those heavy and imo weird looking key holders all day long. Yeah I guess I'm not cool.... On that $99 bit driver, I'll take a HF 4 bit combination screw driver for a whopping $2
