Great stuff Taylor....... I love how you really dig into the community. I was there and I did not see half of the stuff you found. Also agree everyone needs to check out Georgia Bushcraft at some point.
Amy makes some amazing knives with equally awesome leather! I have 8 Warlander knives, and the number is growing. You can't find another maker putting out that quality with leather at her prices.
I have and love those tweezers! That bag that makes a shelf was fire. …thanks for the shoutout. …we are currently working on a pen and pencil! We should talk soon 😁
We should always talk more regardless. lol And I don’t cut my bags down because when I’m backpacking, to save space, I reuse the cook bag and move all the dehydrated meals to ziplocks, which pack down better. 💀
I would love to see a video about the best EDC bags/pouches. I’m sure you’ve mentioned your favorites plenty of times in your videos, but it would be great to have a video dedicated to just that.
I was at my first Fall Gathering and the people were fantastic. And it was great to run into you Taylor. And no, you did not reek. :) Outdoor Element still makes the smaller Contour Feather, with the built in whistle, 1/4 drive, etc.
FYI GRAYL is bushcrafty. Water filtration and storage. If you get the titanium one you can also boil water in it which is purification 🙂. Love your channel, thanks for the video.
8:13 I think many of us would rather have rechargeable BUT, the AA or AAA though usually weaker they’re available everywhere literally EVERYWHERE which is the appeal to me.
08:10 Fenix has 14500 1.5V USB rechargable batteries as a substitute for AA batteries. They work great with my E12 v2. Fenix offer USB rechargable batterites for other formats too (18650, 21700 etc.)
@@BestDamnEDC yes, there is some ambiguity in Fenix's product descriptions. I agree that their 3.6V 14500 batteries cannot be used as an alternative for AA batteries for sure. However, they also offer 1.5V 14500 USB rechargable batteries, which I use for my E12, as well as for my wireless mouse and other stuff powered by AAs. Try it yourself with E12 as an example, when you have a chance. But please make sure you use 14500s with the voltage equal to 1.5.
hi What is the best scissor ... i think it was you, that for a "trade-show" you put together a knife test and the winner was a pair of Shears -- I believe it was the Miller Scissors KS-1 ... the 3 top contenders are ONE: the Miller Scissors KS-1 TWO: the Wiss 7 in. Utility Shears Three: the Knipex Electricians' Shears ... If you could review the three above and any other one you think maybe as good I would appreciate it thanks Peter
I'm actually using a notebook sleeve as my wallet currently. I really like the tuffpossum gear. I just can't do the minimalist wallet, I always wind up needing to carry two, plus cash, defeating the whole purpose .
A good idea for the shovel comparison would be using the USGI Collapsible shovel. They are readily available and probably the easiest and cheapest one to get.
Taylor, in a recent or past vid you presented small magnets for a keychain or other uses. Of course when I went back to find that vid and product, I couldn't. Could you point me in the right direction. Thx
42 bucks for a pouch. I am sure thats the cost of a short run well made pouch that will not rip apart. But the cost. Dang thats two hours after taxes of butt busting work. For stuff you can stick in a larger bag or pockets.
Can that beard comb be used as with ferro rod and with some English flint and a bow drill with that pivot. Those tweezers can go with dog tags, like the A G. Russell ones. Really like the comb, bottle opening fire starting tool. That knife bag could hold a card tool and a map compass.
you got that stuff from Utah> Dude, I wish 18 or so years ago that Utah gave enough shit to have cool stuff happen there. Glad to know they waited 18 years to do so.
Ok, but what is that shirt, too? I destroyed a shirt exactly like that after over a decade of having it (which was one of my favorites of all time) and need to find a good replacement that won't melt like plastic when a spark hits it!
Great stuff as always Taylor. Somehwat offtopic but, do you, or perhaps any other viewers here know of any good EDC sources in Canada? I ask because I've followed at least 20 links now, which you're great fro providing, but those links always fail, as in Canada Amazon has different stock, and US Amazon won't ship items like knives over a border... Just curious...
Hey A little off topic question. I still go to school but also edc. After school i stay out a lot, also in not so nice areas. A lot of dangers that you possibly want to be prepared for. Now obviously schools don‘t like you taking knives or simmilat things to class. Does anyone have suggestions how to deal with that? Thank you for your ideas.
I like your preparedness thinking. A tactical pen or sharpie (as mentioned here) it wont ever replace Benelli M4 for those demanding encounters but as a low profile last ditch tool it is greater than hand to hand alone. Develop emotional fitness and situational awareness first which will keep you safe from most all. Hope this helps, stay safe and move outta Dodge when you can.
14:17 Everyone else looks at that knife sheath and automatically sees Osama Bin Laden too, right? No? Just my weird ass then. It’s so funny when you get the close up look and it’s just beads and knots.
Brand new to edc and understand how expensive this can get. I've given myself a $500 budget for my first carry. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Hey bud, you know it’s coming, but what watch are you wearing in this video? I know you like Vaer but didn’t see that specific watch on there site? So how about helping a brotha out! Thanks, Eppy
"you are not gonna complain how small the saw is" this saw is a toy, there is no branch that you can cut with this saw on and can not break easly with you hands especially that we saw how sharp this saw is ;) I know that you are trying not to say bad things about products but please...
14:20 “he wanted it to be a little more affordable” damn 200$ for about a mini 4 inch looking knife. I swear American knife manufacturers want to charge you an arm and a leg just because of where the knife is made lol
I can't be the only one here with no issues dropping $ on gear without blinking, especially to support small makers, but are completely confused about the prices of bags. 🤨
Paladin has ~$65 bags that are much more rudimentary. The dyneema one I showed is much more complex in terms of build and materials. But there is definitely a wide range of

There definitely should be a button on here, where it automatically add these things to my cart. That way I don’t have to shop for it
Well, while I can't make that happen, I have added all the links in the description 😂
No way man! We’d be financially crippled in 2 videos 😅😅
Great pile of GABC loot. We look forward to seeing what you can do to the shovel!
Great stuff Taylor....... I love how you really dig into the community. I was there and I did not see half of the stuff you found. Also agree everyone needs to check out Georgia Bushcraft at some point.
Wow, that fixed blade is amazing! What a work of art!
Amy makes some amazing knives with equally awesome leather! I have 8 Warlander knives, and the number is growing. You can't find another maker putting out that quality with leather at her prices.
I agree. Entirely underrated and I’ve told her as much
Amy is awesome! Nice kit, I would love to go to Georgia bush craft someday but it is clear across the country for this Arizona man.
I have and love those tweezers! That bag that makes a shelf was fire. …thanks for the shoutout. …we are currently working on a pen and pencil! We should talk soon 😁
And I always cut my bags down with my knife when I’m eating a dehydrated meal! Easy peasy - no more messy knuckles holding some Ti utensils 🍴
We should always talk more regardless. lol
And I don’t cut my bags down because when I’m backpacking, to save space, I reuse the cook bag and move all the dehydrated meals to ziplocks, which pack down better. 💀
The little "saw"....is a picture hanger :) You nail it to the back of a frame
Love how you describe a sweet bag with a strap. You know, a purse. lol. Love the gear, even the purse.
The BIC lighter kit and that Tuff Possum fixed blade pouch are really cool! Definitely cool ideas for making survival kits!
I would love to see a video about the best EDC bags/pouches. I’m sure you’ve mentioned your favorites plenty of times in your videos, but it would be great to have a video dedicated to just that.
14:26 - Knives by HUGE lol Ricky!
lmao I know I know

Right on! I picked up a Mink knife from Amy at the Gathering. Beautiful womanship ;). Plus she is a super nice person.

Yeah, for sure. Just didn’t expect them the first time I saw them there. They weren’t there this year though
@@BestDamnEDC They were at cancon along with Grim Workshop.
It was really awesome getting to meet you at Georgia bushcraft my friend keep up the awesome content.
Those Warlander knives are amazing !!!!
Glow is the ish - been into it for a ill min. Maratac has the best Glow - IMO.
Color change glow is new to me - nice!!
That knife you got for Rikki it is like a father and son
You got Georgia on my mind. Cheers from Australia.

Have you ever gotten your hands on anything from hill people gear? You should check them out.
Thanks for the coverage man.
Also, hope you were able to get the
TPG pouch put on that sheath with less hassle than the belt loop 😅
🤣 Took me a minute to realize what you were talking about. I really, really can’t multitask, as you now know haha
hi
What is the best scissor
...
i think it was you, that for a "trade-show" you put together a knife test
and the winner was a pair of Shears -- I believe it was the Miller Scissors KS-1

the 3 top contenders are

TWO: the Wiss 7 in. Utility Shears
Three: the Knipex Electricians' Shears

If you could review the three above and any other one you think maybe as good I would appreciate it

What watch is he wearing in the video? Looks to be titanium and has nato straps and is a chronograph…
Great video today 😊

They should make those knife pouches with rivets that match like techlocks and stuff
I’m interested in the watch you’re wearing. What’s is the brand & model?
Me too
Is that deep carry clip for the Scout Feather available anywhere?

What is that watch your wearing ?
what watch are you wearing in the video brother it looks like exactly the watch im looking for
Damasko DC58
You sir need a dump pouch for when you go to these events
14:17 Everyone else looks at that knife sheath and automatically sees Osama Bin Laden too, right? No? Just my weird ass then. It’s so funny when you get the close up look and it’s just beads and knots.
I thought that also
What is the model watch he is wearing anyone know?
Nice Damasko.
What kind of watch you wearing? It’s nice
What watch strap are you wearing in this video?
Brand new to edc and understand how expensive this can get. I've given myself a $500 budget for my first carry. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
What's on the wrist? Could be a cool intro to each video or maybe every couple videos to do a "what's in my pockets/wrist".
Love your videos
Thanks!
Is the omega bag the regular size or the xl?
It comes in both sizes. The one I had on camera was the regular
That’s Definitely a purse bro 💀
Im new to the channel just curious why you don't show guns in people's edc
Where can I get the 25r in that color?
The only place I’ve ever seen it was The Gear Shack (who I got it from at the show)
Hey bud, you know it’s coming, but what watch are you wearing in this video? I know you like Vaer but didn’t see that specific watch on there site?
So how about helping a brotha out!
Thanks,

He said Damasco
People kill me with the long spoons for backpacking meals. If all you have is a basic spoon or shorter, just cut the top of the damn bag off.
I like eating out of my cup tin more so than eating out of the bags, so the long handles are awesome!
@@nathan7515same cooking canned soup on a msr burner amd the long spoons keeps my fingers away from the flames
What are those boots?
The “bare-bum” bag
What watch are you wearing in this? 👀

@ Nice. Looks great!
Bräutigam is German for groom
Absolutely!

Good to have a knife and fork just in case there’s cheesecake around
No matter what, I just can’t get my head around carrying a handbag

I’ve found that the smallest practical-use saw is the one on my Victorinox SAK, or the one on my Leatherman.

Man... we want more abuse testing vids.
You say pouch… I say purse.
One of us favors function, the other is insecure.
