#everydaycarry #edc #maxlvledc
I'm glad someone is taking the time to address the most important part of EDC, core. It's the humble first step most of us take when getting into this hobby/lifestyle. Not everyone can afford huge, expensive knives and multi-tools, some of us get by with hand-me-downs or whatever can fit in the pocket everyday and not be cumbersome. I used to carry a Victorinox classic for years as a teen, then a Rambler for a few more years, until I discovered Leatherman.
My core for the better of 4 years now has just been a Leatherman squirt P4 and a small folding utility knife. Both I got at a flea market for less than $10 a few years back. They have been life savers as the small bits on the squirt are excellent for screws, light level prying, electric connectors, and light duty picks. The knife is pretty self explanatory, any utility knife is mandatory in a core EDC, but I find a small utility knife is the best average player when compared to flimsy box cutters, exactos, and larger pocket knives (Plus changing the blades are easier than sharpening and maintaining an edge.
Appreciate the videos as always.
Hey Dom, 512 gb of storage not RAM. Love the vids keep it up!
woops! yea I mean storage.
Noticed this too! 512 GB of RAM would be insane :DD!
@@AB-ol8qy barely enough for google chrome
I was allowed to carry that Mini Sailor Lite into a concert venue the other week. Such a great little tool.
Haven't tried the Murphy wallet yet, I've been using the All-ett brand for quite a while. US made, RFID if you want that, & it lasts a good while-for me it's typically been 5-7 years of everyday use. Pricing is a bit higher than the Murphy and it's a bit bigger but huge storage for cards and it stays flat in your pocket. I just bought a new leather All-ett so I'll have to wait a while before I give the Murphy a look but I'll definitely give it a look-this creator typically has great suggestions
Agreed with Allett wallets. I have the ID wallet, and I love it! It is perfect for me, holds just the amount of cards I need and is still a traditional bifold, plus it is made in California. Bit pricey compared to similar wallets, but worth it to support a company in my home state!
Allett for me too. The Original is big enough for an A7 notebook. But the Travel Wallet holds passport sized notebooks. Built in pen slot too. These wallets are typically much thinner than something like the Murphy.
I'm in the same boat, have all the essencials attached to the big three. I have the same pen in my wallet. I like your flashcards method
I second the Lever Gear Edge XT. I carry one everyday and use it nearly everyday.
Excellent setup. Most people, myself included, carry more gear than they really need on a daily basis. Unless you are in the trades all you need is a couple of screw drivers, a cutting tool, scissors and maybe some bits. I don't even think you need a pliers on your person. The only reason I carry a small one is to removes ticks in season. If I am at home I have a full set tools and in the car I have an emergency kit with several multitools.
Key organizers, the most important item to me.
Took me many iterations to get my core edc just right and now it is compact, comfortable, and convenient
Your explanation of core EDC is great!
Very cool, unless you’re an old, retired guy like me who prefers to carry around stuff he’ll never really use, but loves… 😂
I appreciate that you're so honest with yourself. :-)
Really happy to see the sailor is still in your rotation! I just ordered one yesterday alongside a QSP Penguin.
After doing the full gambit of EDC trends I spent time trimming down my items. At this rate the minimum to leave the house is phone, wallet (ridge), keys (car key + single house key), and a leatherman (varies). The phone takes care of the light and the note taking, the wallet simply carries the cards and a tiny bit of cash, the keys are as small as i can keep them, and the leatherman solves all my other tasks minus say a pen.
The mini sailor light is great, i just wish it was as small as the squirt p4.
Same...but it does have better pliers and scissors...so there is that lol
Folded and interlocking 3x5 cards is the genius kinda stuff for which I watch this channel.
thanks!
I’m so envious of the simple key organizers. My EDC keys have too many oddball shapes to fit a straight bar key organizer and every attempt at trying has failed miserably.
Also, I noticed the S-Biner on the keychain pliers; such an under appreciated gadget! I feel like I should own stock in those by now 😂
Facts, s-biners rock
Its amazes me how little do we need vs how much is marketed and offered on the market now...
I like it, no fluff and no $100 pieces. Interestingly, I generally have no keys. You stated it my phone opens my car and home door. I use a chums wallet because I occasionally get coins and carry one card that uses a QR code for entrance and put my mini flagship. That card goes in the front. I use 3x5 post it notes; I have found I tend to write notes for others and the ones to myself, I can then put them in place they are needed. When I rent a car or ride my bike, those keys can be added to the Chums.
I've used folded 3x5 and 4x6 cards as minimalist note cards for a while now. It's the best I've found for on-the-go notes without excess material. They also come in thicker stocks that common index cards, which is a nice upgrade.
Just picked up ine of those pry bar/blade combos... nice
Three cheers for the LeverGear Edge XT! Such an awesome tool. It completely replaces the opener layer on a SAK Companion and then some. It's an elegant shrunken version of the Milwaukee Fastback 6 in 1 with even more utility.
2 years ago I switched to the Aviator wallet cuz its very slim and compact and I love it! It even has a coin pocket slider but I use that for my house key because it's the only key I carry besides my car key fob. Speaking of which I love the honda pilot key fob because it's so small. I always carry my galaxy buds+ with me. And i just recently picked up the sog powerpint thanks to your videos. It is an awesome little multitool! One last thing, I dont carry a flashlight because my phone has a flashlight. Great videos!
Great video! A lot of good stuff.
I've been trying to add something like to my EDC. I've had a heck of time going for my pocket EDC and my sling EDC. Keep up the content!
Another great video and a nice change of pace. I got a Nextool Mini Sailor on your prior recommendation for a TSA-friendly multitool -- it's great. I added a pocket clip to it, which is the most modding I'm capable of. Thanks!
Good video, as far as a bit of paper to carry( I'm not addressing the pen question) write in the rain makes a tiny little notebook that is a great wallet fit, and I don't know about you, bit moisture ie sweat and rain I find to sometimes be an issue and the write in the rain eliminates that.
They are much smaller and very expensive imo. I have the OTG notebooks and prefer the cards for sure.
That's a very nice setup. I do keychain Leatherman squirt p4, rovyvon flashlight and Leatherman crunch in 5th pocket most days.
Try BIG SKINNY wallets, the nylon microfiber options with RFID bloking protection. The New Yorker option will do what your leather wallet does much better, less weight and bulk. I'm just a satisfied costumer after more than 7 years of use.
Another Big Skinny user here. Found one randomly at a craft Faire years ago. Super thin, light, easy to use, and amazingly durable. It's the longest lasting wallet I've ever owned.
Critique:
• I don't think anyone needs to carry a full size pen, even a mini one - when the SAK Manager exists
• I like the idea of the small plier based multitool to clip on your keys but ONLY if your not already carrying a full size one, for light outings
@DanielTAGyota manager is Discontinued sadly 😥😥
@@maxlvledc yeah well there isn't a swarm of people too aware of it or interested in EDC enough, so the rigorous will be able to get it for not too much rn
@@maxlvledc you should make a video on trying to find an alternative to it, like you did with the PS4
@@DanielTAGyota no such thing, the manager was the goat...I may try to convince a few companies to make one similar.
@@maxlvledc that Nextool SAK classic lookalike is SO close!
Yes, great video topic
I have a wallet like George Costanza
love your edc
nice edc and practical.
i saw that rogan Tools is introducing a new digging tool to compete with the scout. but i dont know how good it will be its call the e tool
As I hone in on carrying as little as possible, the Victorinox Pioneer has been my 1 stop shop for knife/tools. Phone, wallet, keys, flashlight, Pioneer. Being a 2 handed slip joint less than 3” it’s virtually legal everywhere but tsa, schools, and government buildings. If I feel the need for more knife, I add an IWB fixed blade. If I’m working with tools I add a Rebar to my belt. Pioneer has enough screw driving, good shimmy/jimmy/pry tool, a good size knife and a robust poking tool. Knipex cobra xs live in my back pack, OCCASIONALLY I will just slip them in my pocket instead of going full Rebar. But I just don’t have a spot on person for pliers to be comfortable enough that my EDC is virtually unnoticeable. As soon as I try to work pliers in I can’t find that sweet spot.
Good stuff I use a bill fold
My wallet have same idea design(but i make it by myself), i don't have a problem with a key, i just use only one from my home it goes together with Nitecore Thumb holding together with rubber ring. I lost my multitool what was ganzo g104s but i feel fine without it. And most fun part of my kit - its Tajima boxcutter knife. I have bunch of different knives in my collection benchmade, zt, some customs ect. but i dont use this blades so much as 2$ boxcutter.
I use transparent sticky notes for what you use flash cards for, and I think it's alright.
Great video dom would love to see a review of the tale of knifes mini bandit 2.0
next edc item is probably the battery bank
@williamli8708 you hit the nail on the head. Phones need juice. If, as Dom says, the phone is your #1 EDC item (and I agree with him), then you need to carry a way to recharge it. I currently carry: 1) the Lever Gear charge cable on my key ring, 2) the Fenix E-Spark in my card wallet. The E-Spark serves as my back up flashlight and can charge my Android phone 12-15% in an emergency (USB-C). I will be experimenting with the Keyport Pivot soon, and they offer a charging cable outer layer. This might replace my LeverGear. I also have a Clutch 5K battery bank that is pocketable if I know the Fenix won't be enough and there won't be a place to use the cable. Both LeverGear and Clutch make models that are compatible with Apple lightning charged phones.
You know what I'd like? To move everything from the keyport to a single-sided (no pliers) modular multi-tool, say a Goat. That's your "keychain", and add a multi-tool with pliers when you need to, but all on the same platform.
Thanks so much for your content! I’ve just recently gotten into EDC, and I’ve been binge watching your videos! Very helpful!!
Question: Are there any “middle ground” multitool sheaths you would recommend for those of us who aren’t ready to break the bank on Tale of Knives?
good question..I'll think on it, this one from Viperade isn't terrible if you carry on right only: amzn.to/3S0Pl90
My dude! Any stuff for modding the SOG Powerlock? Love your channel!
I've been giving heavy consideration to wallets, recently. I need to have an ID badge readily visible at work, so I've been looking at wallets/badge-holders with outward-facing ID windows and which can also be suspended on a lanyard. I'm leaning heavily towards the Chums Surfshort Wallet. It comes with a keyring that I will likely re-purpose for a lanyard connection.
Love the channel!
Check these out akeeni.com/products/xsto-wallet-jet-black
One the Keyport Pocket Flare.....How is the switch?....Does the light get activated and come on in your pocket?....killing battery? Looks like a handy product.
Never has yet, I've been very happy with it
You EDIT on the phone? Don't know why, but that sounds WILD.
Nice results either way, so whatever works works!
You list a few small pens in the description, but what is the Zebra pen you're actually _using_ in the video?
Mini-expanz can only seem to find them on ebay bulk
I use a master key that has five locks attached to it so that allows me to only have a single key plus my car fob
Nice wallet. Great review! I’ve got military discounts available if you guys like Buck knives and leather. 🐮
How are those victorinox mx models? Ive been thinking of upgrading to a swiss tool mx.
Also, do you think getting a leatherman is a good choice? I hear their quality control is getting worse, but theyre innovative and have a lot of options, or should i just get a MX model and get seperate tools to compensate?
Also how are those mini multitools? I love my rambler, but those models look nice
Should I just do, what multitool I would buy in 2024? I'm thinking of making a top 10 that way
What is the silver bullet looking thing connected to the nextool?
its a glow Rhino Tritium FOB. Should have mentioned it but didn't.
Have you done a review on the Esee xancudo yet?
I mean..its a great small fixed blade. What could I possibly add at this point to the reviews out there? 100% awesome.
@@maxlvledc like would be relevant to today for edc fixed blade what set up you got how do carry it.
Do you like the murphy better than the bruce wallet you had previously liked?
Similar, and yes
What cases for phones would you recommend?
Hmm, depends if you want a mounting system or not.
What I actually appreciate the most is the owner of the channel not showing his face. I am so fed up with everyone showing their yapping piehole all the time
I mean, who cares about my face. This is all about the gear! I'll do it from time to time, but I find this also helps me focus.
512 gig of RAM eh?
😅, I meant memory
can you check this out on all our behalf The Bourbon Blade: The Original Pocket Chisel
Already ordered
Where your tweezers, brother?! How you gonna pluck out all your splinters without no tweezers?
The pliers do that well after I modded them
Do TSA agents really know and follow the rules regarding knives and multitools? I can see them confiscating anything resembling "dangerous". Even if the multitool doesn't have a blade and you removed the exacto blade, TSA isn't exactly the most discerning agency.
You are correct, sometimes they do that
2 knifes 3 multi tool? bro you live in a warzone or something? jk the starting frame sure is click enticing
Bro you got a note pad on your phone. No need to carry notecards. It’s 2024
I think I explained why in the video.
Wallets that cannot carry coins is a fail.
It has no issues with coins because of the flap
Lile the set up!
And that pen is pretty cool,
I use a Zebra collapsible pen,from staples you get a two pack for like $9.00
.thanks man
great video!
Someone needs to make a notes app for your phone 😮
there are tons of good ones, but all of them come with the distraction of the phone itself.
I use evernote as notes app for my samsung. I use it constantly
