If you can ever lay your hands on the Leatherman ratchet extension it’s a must have. So Holy Grail that whenever they drop, they sell out by the thousands within hours. Have one of those gator bits with the 1/4 inch sockets for my impact driver, I can use with it instead. Both those lights seem cool, I can see them as useful and compact.
I bought one when they were first released and my younger brother hasn’t been able to get one for almost a year now. I almost want to gift it to him and wait to get one for myself but I use it so much and love it. So weird they wouldn’t make a ton more seeing they sell out constantly
This is definitely a great list, brother! I had to had almost every item on this list to my shopping carts 😂 That doesnt happen often. Thanks for sharing, Josh, and for curating such a dope selection
I’d love to see a Leatherman build video. I have a Surge in my car and know I’m underutilizing it a ton. I know that there are cooler pouches and tools/mods that can done. Would be a must-watch for me if you do a deep dive.
So glad to hear it! I feel the same way with the underutilization, I’m sure there’s a ton of potential out there with mods and add ons. I’ll do some research and see what I come up with!
Great video, I always enjoy these! I keep looking at the tripod stand, the wallet version looks useful. The wallet is similar to the Open Sea Topsider except the stitching is on the bottom side which helps keep the vertical profile smaller.
Just looked up the topsider, definitely similar design! Both are a little more than I need in terms of capacity but I was really impressed with the quality. You’ll love that tripod though if you think you’ll use it, comes in handy so often for me.
That’s great! Cool to see the bogo offer too, not sure if they offer it all the time or if it’s limited. A bit niche but I’ve got some fun ideas for mine!
@@joshfenn I personally wanna move my (prescription) meds from my wallet, currently in an aviator double size coin tray. Slimming down that much more if I can get rid of the coin tray. (Always wear my cap)
Found it on Etsy a while back! Last I checked I couldn’t find it for sale anymore but if you search for industrial table lamp or Edison bulb lamps there’s probably something similar around still
It’s from howler bros! Button up and not a polo though, loving the style way more than I thought I would. alnk.to/cb2eMtV Made a full length video and yt short about it last week if you want to hear more!
It is! Just got it recently and have been really impressed with it vaer-watches.sjv.io/k0ELvV Covered it in some detail for my spring apparel/style video a few weeks ago but have another video planned in July to cover in more detail!
so many storage in hat ideas out lately but so many take their hats off and forget them, or the wind takes it off, and some places you gotta take it off to go into. only way i could see one working is perhaps a Stetson or boonie hat using a strap down around the chin to prevent it from blowing off, and to be able to take it off and let it hang around your neck from the strap. also very uncomfortable to use those straps sadly.
Yeah it’s definitely a risk if you’re in a situation where you could lose your hat. Great to have an alternative though, even if it’s a bit more niche than just using your pants pockets.
@@joshfenn central colorado here pretty sure chicago lies about being the windy city, we have 4 seasons here, sun and wind, rain and wind, cold and wind, and snow and wind. sometimes all 4 in just one day.
Nice video. But that multitool stinks. The pocket clip, the angled pry bar, and crappy wrench kill that thing. Wow. That’s just about everything. Just snagged that tripod. That looks awesome.
Yeah definitely some flaws with the multi tool like I had mentioned in the video. With a few design tweaks it’d be awesome, hopefully they take feedback and update it down the road
Item #1 IS "DUMB" NOT JUST "dumb looking"! Most of "us" know how to hide small stuff on the inside flap of a baseball cap. A little Velcro will keep it secure. Everything else is "interesting". Thanks. Good presentation.
Haha I got the opposite comment from someone else earlier, #1 was the only item of interest to them. Different strokes for different folks, that’s why I love doing this series.
It does, but tripod is a common term that has surpassed its naming origins imo. I guess I could just call it a stand? Doesn’t really describe it as well.
Key is super handy. Melin hats have a hidden pocket on the inside for a key and when I got for a walk it’s nice to know I can lock my door without having to carry my keys or have a loose key in my pocket.

Definitely keeping an eye out for future drops, hopefully they’re more readily available down the road!
My Grandfather carried cash, a can opener, a fix blade, spoon, banana, mouse, and a hank of string in his pockets.
Quite the list! Never heard of a mouse and banana edc.
Was the mouse alive?
@@itzlezeryes, he fed it cookies and banana.
He carried mousse not mouse.
This is definitely a great list, brother! I had to had almost every item on this list to my shopping carts 😂 That doesnt happen often. Thanks for sharing, Josh, and for curating such a dope selection
Haha so glad you enjoyed it! I was really happy with this roundup as well, lots of gems here.

Yeah, those are some. Definitely interesting things.
Out of all of the things, these are some of them.
@@joshfenn yeah for me I think the thing that you said first that goes on your hat that ‘s probably be the most useful for me

that velcro hat pouch is cool, didn't know about that, I am getting one (or two, looks like you get +one on buying one)

You look great in that Gaucho shirt. I liked the design of the laptop mount from Moft, hope to buy one soon. Thx, Josh. =)
Thanks! Been really enjoying the laptop mount with video calls so far, the camera on the newer MacBook is good but nowhere close to my phone camera
That wallet looks a lot like open seas. I have a few open seas wallets and they are great.
Heard of them but have never actually seen them, I’ll have to take a look!
@@joshfenn I went from a ridge to an open seas. I loved the ridge but I missed a quality leather wallet.
whats the name of that lamp with the 3 bulbs in the back? thanks!
Found it on Etsy a while back! Last I checked I couldn’t find it for sale anymore but if you search for industrial table lamp or Edison bulb lamps there’s probably something similar around still
NAH BRO BUT WHERE DID YOU GET UR POLO? Great video as always!
Thanks! Not sure what polo though, I don’t think I own any
@@joshfenn the one that ure wearing the video
It’s from howler bros! Button up and not a polo though, loving the style way more than I thought I would. alnk.to/cb2eMtV
Made a full length video and yt short about it last week if you want to hear more!
Is that a Vaer Chronograph watch you’re wearing?
It is! Just got it recently and have been really impressed with it vaer-watches.sjv.io/k0ELvV
Covered it in some detail for my spring apparel/style video a few weeks ago but have another video planned in July to cover in more detail!

Bro, were you in home town yesterday?
Nah haven’t been in a little while. My sister did find my doppelgänger there though years back, I wonder if that was the same guy
Tape over the blade might help for practice if tolerances allow.
That’s a great idea!
I love cliff hangers... Ha! Good vid
Thanks!
You can buy a balisong trainer to learn the tricks, then transfer to a real one. I don’t think the magnetic closure will help tho
Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check into those!

You got me curious as a fellow leftie so I can announce Dr Prof Google says butterfly knives are ambidextrous. 🙂
Haha yeah I really wasn’t sure, definitely possible that I’m just dumb
The first item could be replaced with...a pocket.
If you’ve got ‘em, definitely.

You're butterfly tricks don't wor,k because it isn,t a butterfly knife ;-)
But It is a nice knife 😀
I’ve seen a few people pretty handy with the magblade specifically, I think I’m just a bit dumb and clumsy haha.
Tripod? Doesn't tri stands for 3?
It does, but tripod is a common term that has surpassed its naming origins imo. I guess I could just call it a stand? Doesn’t really describe it as well.
Putting a wallet/key in your hat seems ridiculous.
Haha yeah it’s a bit odd but potentially useful in niche situations like running.
It gave me the idea to look for a scrunchie with an inside hidden pocket and I found it
Key is super handy. Melin hats have a hidden pocket on the inside for a key and when I got for a walk it’s nice to know I can lock my door without having to carry my keys or have a loose key in my pocket.
Great for some people
