This is the best channel to watch for me to figure out how to burn through my money like a person with a crack addiction but I love stuff you shove in your pocket!
@@BestDamnEDC No idea of you ever see these but I just wanted to recommend checking out the Up Knife UPK-M2 bolt action otf multi tool and Grim Workshop survival cards, tool necklaces, and micro tools. The Up Knife multi tool is very pricey but Max level EDC did a short on it you could check out to get an idea of the quality that goes into making it and the survival cards and tool sets are extremely affordable and made with repeated use in mind. I think they would be a great addition to a video like this one.
I appreciate this list because a lot of things I can afford or easily set aside a bit of my paycheck every week to save up for if I can’t get it immediately. A lot of people in the UA-cam EDC space go high end and don’t consider that a lot of viewers aren’t flush with cash or don’t feel comfortable asking family/friends/etc for these types of things.
As an fountain pen person, as my EDC pen I always end un carrying a Kaweco in my pocket, the sport and liliput series are awesome, light weight, high quality and I've written with them everywhere from airplanes to boats, dry and humid places, from seas and deserts.... I'm missing space, but I don't think they would let take my EDC in a spaceship anyways. I really recommend them.
Great list. My own experience with Zojirushi, great for 12 hours and then it loses heat. Love the knife suggestions, but I carry a Sebenza or a Hinderer every day as one of my knives. Love the Tactile Turn pens. Cheers
What do you think of the classic fisher space pens? I have one in raw brass that I love. It disappears in my pocket and it's comfortable to write with. Plus looks classy. I haven't really felt the need to look at any other EDC pens after I found that.
Everyone seems to be missing out on the Streamlight Bandit. It uses a headband or even better hat clip, I keep one in my coat pocket and all of my vehicles. Obviously, a backpack, fanny pack, or cargo pocket would work great also. Excellent headlamp!
My favourite EDC are steel vacuum flask bescuse can be knocked around and even dropped and will never break I am old enough to remember the old glass vacuum flask they used to break or explode all the time I always had to buy a new insert every 3 of 4 months I have had about 3 different one knocking around for the past 10 years
It took me a LONG time to decide I wanted to spend $99 on a pen, but when I finally did I was glad I bought Tactile Turn. They truly are heirloom quality pens. Also I added like 3 things to my Christmas list from this video. Definitely the Streamlight USB flashlight. I have a few of the triple A variety and I'd kill for the USB rechargeable.
I have a multitool that I "lost" when camping but I just ended up leaving it in an open-aired tractor and it got rusted. I ended up putting WD-40 on it but it doesn't remove rust, so my question is does Flitz work on other things like multitools and files, and now that I'm typing this, it feels like there is an obvious answer. Thank you for including Flitz, I literally NEEDED that!! lol
Great video Taylor! We feel honored that a few of our products made the list. The loaded tool burritos quickly sold out once you posted this but we'll have more on the site next week. You also forgot to mention that they each come with a Mexican mango chili sucker, for real 😏 We decided to throw one in each loaded Burrito after we saw how much your enjoyed yours on camera 😂 -Athena
Taylor, great video! I work in the Washington DC area and my EDC is a little bit of a "Gentlemen's - EDC" (G-EDC). Since I wear suites all the time, my gear needs to be just as "Sharp" as my suite. I am happy to see that you have join the Fountain Pen Klan. I too carry a Tactical Fountain Pen From Shchrade, which has been with me for years now. Side Bar - The Cap has to screw on to the back of the pen to be concerned a tactical pen, this provides the additional space to grip in an under hand position for strikes and counter blocks.... Also, please take note that November 4th is Natonal Fountain Pen Day, now you are a part of the Klan, this is a special day for all Fountain Pen users. I also carry the SOG PowerPint and my main blade is my William Henry Pocket Knife. My flashlight is the EDC 2AAA Flashlight from 5.11; My bag is a Tumi 3 in 1 brief, that change from a briefcase to a message bag to a backpack. I got a lot more in my G-EDC Communter Bag. This is a great way to keep it frosty as I commute to work, if you know what I mean. Keep up the great videos and great product idea.... I'm going to have to grab me that Holme & Hadfield Display Case for my G-EDC. Stay Frosty!

I love Fenix lights, right now my 2 favorite lights are the pd36r and the thrunite t1s, I think they're the best lights for less than 100 bucks in full and small size the battery life is great, I haven't had to charge them since I got them 7 months ago, and they don't have proprietary batteries or chargers which is awesome
USB charge lights are not practice because when you are broken down on the side of the road at midnight and need to change a tire or something under the hood. Not having a working flashlight is easier to fix with a spare battery, than waiting for a usb cord waiting to charge it
Thank you. Great list. Any EDC knife and flashlight belt holders you would recommend? I have a Fenix LD10 and a Schrade timer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hi Taylor, The BID Slim Click Pen is beautiful however the clicking mechanism is not as smooth as I had expected. It was very gritty / grinding when I received via my Kickstarter order. I cleaned it up and applied some silicone grease too. The clicking mechanism sometimes gets stuck mid-way and pen point doesn't deploy. I need to let my thumb loose and then try again to deploy. It happens few times and it's a bit irritating. Is it just me or does anyone else face it too? Any suggestions to make the mechanism perfectly smooth shall be really appreciated. Moreover, I guess I would have preferred the click to be more clicky / snappy rather than soft that it is now. Would be great to know your views.
Build quality of a multi-tool really matters to me. I just wish that Leatherman would make my minimalist multi-tool. Pliers w/ replaceable wirecutters. Knife w/ 1/2 serrated edge. Good scissors (the Micra's are sweet, albeit small). The FANTASTIC diamond file from the Wave (or same diamonds on a smaller file). Driver. Razor saw? Nice, but not needed in a minimalist tool. Can/bottle opener? nah.
Now, see, I COULD buy myself a set of sharpening stones so I can take care of these dull blades... OR I could buy myself another knife. I think I know what I'm going to end up doing.
Hi Taylor! I dont really know where to ask this question... With winter season coming up, I was wondering what your opinion on best folder to use in cold weather, i.e. with gloves or i guess more commonly, when your fingertips are a bit numb without gloves. Thanks !
One, underrated, Leatherman I really like and recommend is the Micra. It replaces the pliers with scissors and for me, thats way more useful. I really need to try the Drift. At $250, I would add to the list the We Mini Malice. Its the best knife I have ever used/ carried. Love the Microstream and Pineapple Mini.
Not to say BigI/tactile turn are not good pens,but I would disagree in saying most edc pens are over $100. Lots of budget pens like the tomboy airpress, zebra F701,fisher space pen,rite in the rain etc are all really good affordable edc pens. Just thought I'd put it out there!
Thank you so much for showing that EDC fountain pen! I've been looking for a way to EDC a fountain pen but hadn't found a great option for a more durable pen. This one from Big Idea looks amazing! I still have most of a bottle of my favorite ink, Wild Strawberry from Diamine.
There’s a better option for the titanium bottle “same shape and design only the lid is not tethered to the neck” that is great for edc but also camping or hiking trips one reason it’s better is because it’s cheaper “I saw 2 size’s on Amazon one was about 1l the other was about 600ml the 1l came with a nesting cup also titanium” but the main reason they are better is if you are camping or walking if you remove the lid you can put them over heat be it in a fire or on a stove and heat the water inside the flask itself to purify or just make a hot drink even to heat let cool a little replace the lid and use as a hot water bottle if you become cold or wet 👌🏻 they was from one of the Chinese titanium brands “can’t remember off the top of my head who” but I believe the 600ml was about £50-60 and the 1l plus cup was about £80-85 I get the whole para cord thing “if you add it it makes anything bushcraft” but them doing that with your bottle takes a titanium bottle function away instantly just to have the look of a bush craft edc style item “just on a side note remember don’t put to much heat on the seal or it will melt and leak 😅”
Not a big deal, just curious. Why do you hold and show the knives upside down? QC Drift FTW. The waypoint was a disappointment for me. Has a bad case of lock rock. So does my Rockwall. 🤦🏻♂️
Hello mate! Really need your help here. I´m kind of new in this edc world ad really trying do find the best edc items for me, and belive me I`m really trying hard. Now I´m almost there (you never are with edc I know haha) but I´m killing me self and can not find the SOG PowerPint anywhere. Maybe it´s beacause I´m living in Sweden I don´t know. Tried amazon, ebay, swedish sites but nothing. Really hope you see this and help a edc buddy before the holidays. Also loving the good and helpfull work you are doing here on your chanel. Best of regards.
I can definitely agree with the SOG PowerPint and the Zojirushi bottles, they're absolutely fantastic. I'd have to throw in a CIVIVI knife recommendation too, I'm absolutely loving my Pintail, the quality is amazing and an S35VN blade for ~$80 is an unreal value.
I love how he had a mental breakdown about making an effort to not film at the table and how it makes him burnt out… but he continuously does it. He’s bringing it upon himself at this point
I explained when I made that video that table videos would still happen. They’re a core part of the channel. But it took us hours this week just to set this up again. Tearing it back down on Monday. Don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense. It does to me.

Never thought to use the SOG minibit holder on the Leatherman ratchet driver. Good tip.

You’ve got to get your hands on a Pilot Vanishing Point. Best EDC fountain pen ever.
I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price tag on the 4 watch Holmes & Hadfield watch display case. I’m excited to try it out!
15:32 Joe's knives are the best. He's also the guy to hit up for a guided fly fishing trip!
That safe is pretty sick honestly.

I never knew I needed a tool burrito until Taylor made a video on it. Now I have one for gun tools, car tools, and edc tools for my backpack
Can never go wrong with another multitool!

I love Fenix lights, right now my 2 favorite lights are the pd36r and the thrunite t1s, I think they're the best lights for less than 100 bucks in full and small size the battery life is great, I haven't had to charge them since I got them 7 months ago, and they don't have proprietary batteries or chargers which is awesome
my edc: a leatherman cs for $20, a victorinox for $25 and a citizen day/date for $85.
Would love to see @LockpickingLawyer try out the safe, especially at that price point.
Interested when you'll take a look at LEP flashlights, I've been looking at a few recently, for me they are a bit of a game changer
I just get so relaxed watching and hearing you talk stuff. It's ASMR to me. And then the panic sets in when I empty my bank account. Endless cycle...
Did you show the SOG Powerpint working with the Leatherman ratchet driver? Love your channel
A small, easy to carry, EDC diamond sharpener or selection of said article............. Thanks for sharing.
Those lock boxes would be great to keep medication safe
Great idea

the duke cannon chap stick is essential

I never thought I’d see a Zojirushi product on this channel lol
Ok so who can tell me what model of letterman he used when he put the driver in the center of the multi tool? Who was the the SOG PowerPint at 12:48?
best secret in the pen game is the unbranded bolt pens off SMKW got a all copper, fisher cartridge using, bolt action pen for $10 on sale
I've probably missed this somewhere but will there be a restock on the tough clips? hate that I missed them.
Now, see, I COULD buy myself a set of sharpening stones so I can take care of these dull blades... OR I could buy myself another knife. I think I know what I'm going to end up doing.
And what do I do if I'm the only edc person in my life? Guess I have to buy it all for myself!
Back at the table!!
Temporarily
Hey Taylor,ich hab's noch nicht Mal ansatzweise zuende geguckt,aber ich weiß dass es ein super Video ist😁
Gimme that Benchmade hoodie!
Same
Great list. Lots of stuff I'm eyeing for myself as well as friends and family

What is the multitool on 12:53 ?😅
What’s the strap on your Apple Watch Ultra?
The whole time k kept eying that ring u got on. Is that wood?
It’s a “wood” pattern from Groove Life

Yeah, they tend to go pretty fast. We’ve already placed a restock order and it SHOULD be before Christmas
Ah, yes, EDC gift ideas for the EDC person in my life...aka, myself.
you have a f95T???!!! since when?
What watch is on wrist in this video?
Does anyone know if the Kizer button lock is legal in California?
