Pocket organizers definitely aren't for me, but one appealing idea is individual kits for respective occasions. Like one kit set up for work, one kit set up for carrying around the house on weekends, one kit for road trips, etc....
Just wanted to throw this out as an option but I bought a small nylon case that was labeled as a camera case from Walmart. The case has a divided main compartment and a side compartment both which zip shut. The small case fits in my dress pants as well as jeans without bulk (depending on what you carry) but I have no problem carrying a juice S2, mini Maglite with spare batteryt, bic lighter, and bandaids and still have room to spare. it only cost a few dollars.
Solid video...as always. I have been carrying a Runt 2.0 from Hitch and Timber. I carry it in my left front pocket and it has very little bulk in my jeans or even dress pants. In the front I carry a SAK Cadet, space pen, and Lumintop AAA TI...in the back I have a metal GO Comb, 2 business cards and a Pocket Tripod (about the size of 2 credit cards). The leather has formed well around everything and I cannot leave the house without it. Just today, Christmas, I used everything in there except for my business cards. I do wish I could use a Pioneer X instead of the Cadet but I don’t think it would fit well as the Cadet sits about even to the top of the leather. If anyone else is using the Pioneer X in the Runt, please let me know. Thanks again for the video and advise. Carry on!!
I got the Olight Perun mini and i’m super satisfied by not only its tiny size but it’s brightness and build quality. Good battery life and good controls, but it doesn’t weigh down your pockets.
I realize this is totally not what I should take away from the video but the comment about having to readjust a knife back to vertical is super relatable and I’m glad I’m not crazy. None of my friends or family care and think I’m nuts but it drives me crazy.
@@FreeSalesTips Those are clearly not the same thing and you know it. You can buy most leather for pittance. I'm not bashing the craft, but it doesn't take a genius to make a leather pocket. These are clearly overpriced
@@neilorourke71 It is the same thing. The cost of goods sold is normally a tiny fraction of the market price. The cost of American labour is normally the bulk of the price. This is especially the case for states with minimum wage laws.
My Fisher space pen bullet is like a boomerang... I've lost it probably 20 times over the years and it always comes up somewhere random like 3 months later
I understand why some people would benefit from this kind of thing, and I have thought about getting my youngest son one. but I have been carrying my same EDC set up ( with minor changes to specific gear) for over 25 years, and have really got things tuned in just how I like them. as you said, everyone has their own taste.
Good video - I am new to the pocket organizer world and this gave me a great, detailed view of the options and landscape. Well done - thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experiences
Taylor, I hope hope that you are having an excellent Christmas and New Year season as well. You've mentioned the Benchmade 940 Osborne a number of times, and I'd like to say that it is probably my most favorite EDC knife for the last year. I picked my knife up from REI with my dividend return and using their 20% off coupon. It greatly reduced the overall cost out of pocket. However, I think that you should find a dealer and hold the knife in your hand prior to purchase. The scales have a texture to them that I was not expecting when I first received my knife. It's not horrible, it just is unlike any other knife I've ever owned or felt. I hope this helps. BTW, what coffee are you drinking these days?
@@chrishyde7798 Thanks! And that's a solid idea on the purchase. I'll have my dividend soon enough! Currently, I'm drinking Pure Intentions because it's local (and I have a deal worked out with a local coffee shop exchanging photos for coffee). But Nightflyer (previously Parliament) is still my favorite.
I like the tail end comment. If you spend your whole life edc-ing a certain way, then change it up... careful, then you're in the edc danger zone- i.e, losing, forgetting, misplacing etc. I know it from experience. Wise remark, thanks!
pouches and organizers make a lot of sense in a bag even more than a pocket. I was carrying altoids cans with a small lighter, knife and flashlight, it worked but was a little bit of a pita. I liked my organizers but then i made my wallet with organizer for a mini maglight, a minisharpy and a small pen. the flashlight comes in handy a LOT and so does the sharpy.. at the zoo we wrote the kids names and phone number on their arm as well as marking drinks, xmas day the oldest gbrat used my sharpy to mark the batteries and remotes for the 2 rc cars he and his brother got, then it got used to mark leftover packages...not so sure about that whole stand up in the pocket thing but organizers do let you grab what you want from the other junk and change easily
You convinced me with the grab and go concept. I have 4 now. I had to get the last one because I created a copper/brass carry. Pilar copper Brass space pen Olight brass flashlight.
I agree with your point about the penknife in the pocket. However more important is making sure that it doesn't just fall out. So to put my mind at rest I have a loop of string threaded through the eyelet and then hitch the rest of the loop around my belt so that the penknife fits snugly in the little watch pocket of my jeans. If you tie the ends of the string loop as slip knots you can shorten or increase the size of the loop so you can adjust the length to suit; for wrapping around your belt or over your head. Quick & easy to get at & use but safe & secure at all times. Just one thing less to worry about losing.
Not tactical beads. 🤣🤣🤣 Combat Beads is a company. I will do a lanyard video to this one soon. Then dive deeper as time goes on. Now that the holidays are out of the way, it's going to be a free for all.
I think you said the key phrase that stops me from getting a organizer. I have a knife, light, pen and pad.. and being able to put them in different pockets allows me to stay slim without ruining the lines of my clothing etc. I don't want to be walking around on a date with an inch or inch and a half bulge in my front pocket.. can't put in the back.. can't sit on that thing. and in the front it's just going to draw attention and look goofy.
some of the leather organizers for the Leatherman are beautiful and allow you to carry the bits that fit into the Surge. Also a flashlight and a similar item too.
I also have a little pouch in my backpack to organize my daily tools. As i normally grab my backback evertime i go out, i have all i need. In my pockets i dont like to have a pocket organizer, it is too bulky. Like my wallet I would take it out everytime i sit. So i only put in my pocket the things i need when i am without a backpack, that means inside or around the house. Beside the smartphone and the keys, this is a mini flashlight on the keyring a victorinox mini champ in the fifth jeans pocket and a deejo edc knife with pocket clip. I dont need a pen with me, cause i normally dont write much manually when i can note everything on my smartphone.
I’d consider them. I don’t like clipping my knife or flashlight to my pocket, they’re usually tight and a hassle to keep clipping them back since both get used all day for me. But it is annoying when they skip sideways in my pocket also. I carry a rubber tipped Coast flashlight because as a mechanic it helps to have a light I can hold in my teeth and keep my hands free to work.
Thanks for this Taylor. I know you like ARC Co, grommets fell off of a product from them immediately upon using. They were extremely difficult to deal with, I ultimately ended up returning it, they begrudgingly approved my return. Needles to say, I'm out. Went with Hitch & Timer.... Fantastic!!!
I used to carry my Swiss army knife and my flashlight on a belt loop organizer that my friend made for me. It was a great system and I really liked it and it kept clutter out of my pockets. However I stopped wearing belts and have switched to suspenders so there's not really a suspender based system that I found to replace it LOL I don't carry a pocket organizer for two reasons. The first one is that I don't like having all the weight and bulk in one spot. I keep a flashlight and a Swiss army knife in the watch pocket on my right hand side in my jeans, pen and phone in my left front pocket, notepad in my back left pocket, wallet in my back right pocket. It spreads it all out sort of evenly so I don't have excessive bulk in any one spot. The second reason is that I feel like it just kind of adds an extra step. Like if I want to use my pocket knife instead of just taking my pocket knife out of my pocket or off a belt thing, I have to take the organizer out, and then take the knife out of the organizer and it just kind of adds extra steps and I feel like I would end up fumbling around trying to figure out what to do with all the stuff in my hands. And now that you mention it I most definitely would leave my organizer somewhere and lose all of my gear at once which would be horribly unfortunate because I'm a broke son of a b**** and can't afford to go out and purchase replacement gear.
I've been using a cocoon grid it backpack organizer for my EDC that I dont use frequently like a flashlight multitool etc it makes it really easy for me just a suggestion
Hi. I carry all my gear in pocket organizers because l use different bags. One is for work and one is for personal use. It is much easier to transfer gear when you have your gear in organizers. I try not to carry anything in my pockets. Take care. Marry Christmas and happy New year.
At times I feel like I've got enough stuff that I'd like to carry or have with me that would be the proverbial "Bat belt", and could use such a consolidated option, in fact would probably be a blessing to find the one (or two) multipurpose item.
Never really needed a knife ever and now days a smart phone does everything. Little flashlight,notebook. Credit card and a bit of cash all in the case. Job done !
Steven Harper always carry a knife minimum for self defense. It’s not everyday that you’ll get attacked but in the off chance you do, you’ll be glad you have it. It’s not a big deal if I need a flashlight and don’t have it.
I get this. I usually have wallet keys pocket knife in my left and phone in right. I hate digging thru the left and pulling out the wrong thing. Especially when i already got my hands full
I carry 2 phones a full Wallet in the rear and my charger in the other side. Then the leather man wave, xs knipex cobra, fenix e35, and a wera tool check plus. Bless a good belt
Interesting. I carry my military retired ID and credit card in an ID display clip on a lanyard around my neck. One of those organizers with a grommet I could carry the same way but handle more things. I don't like having anything in my rear pockets. I ordered a lipstick-sized keychain flashlight based on your reviewing 'em. Looks like that could go into an organizer, too. I could adapt your lanyard idea for my EDC knife and the flashlight. I usually leave my S8+ phone in the car. It might fit in an organizer. I do have a belt-clip slip case for just the phone. Hmm... Some organizers clip onto a belt, too. Funny, when I used to carry a briefcase, I bought one made of ballistic cloth. I cut out a zippered pouch from the back compartment and "free-floated" it in the front of the briefcase as... an organizer. Only thing, it was just the one compartment. But, I had the concept down! Is there such a thing as an EDC Fidget Spinner?
Merry Christmas and thanks for the new video. I know you have tossed around the idea of opening up submission to pocket organizers and I would love it if you did! Women's jeans do not support phones in pockets let alone EDC gear so anything out of my usual work day comes in a pouch. Keep up the good work and look forward to more videos in the new year
I'm weird and like to have quick access to my knife and flashlight. Probably not entirely necessary but it's my preference. A more practical issue is easy access to items. It's nice to be able to pull out a knife or flashlight easily with one hand (I work nights often and open a lot of boxes). I like the idea for pens, note pads and wallet stuff though.
My space pen sits right ext to my lighter in my "watch pocket" on my jeans(i wear jeans every day due to work). I may try one of these edc organizers for the weekends and such. Good video, new sub!
At some point we as tough burly men should just accept that we need a sack with a shoulder sling. I blame cell phones. My beeper never took up a whole pocket.
@@elspoko so having a dick means we don't need something like a bag that holds thing we need? Man up and wear a "purse". Sad most are worried about damaging their fragile egos.
have you ever used / reviewed a drop leg bag? Im a welder and i EDC A LOT of gear including a 6 x 9 steno pad when im working a job. My wife went looking for a fanny pack as a joke but instead found loads of drop leg bags on amazon i cant shake the thought that would not be a bad idea... thoughts?
Nitro - I’m not a welder and did not know what a drop leg bag was until I looked it up just now, but I’ll throw in my two cents worth and say go for it. They are inexpensive, and if it makes your working life easier it’s worth every penny. Best wishes.
I looked into different designs of EDC organizers and they don't fit my specific needs - quite expensive costing some $60-$100. So, I started designing them myself and made a couple of iterations. How about a video of people like me who make their own EDC organizers? I just waiting for my leather material to arrive to finally create the final iteration after 4 design experiments.
We love to see a video about the chords and beads you put on your knives specifically the para 2 of yours and the proper thanks in advance. Loving your channel.
You really need to look at the Dewalt Smartphone holder. It carries so much more and just clips off your belt in one second. $20.00 at home depot. . I just cut a little Rubbermaid box to fit in the sleeve to deal with the cutouts. . After a year the turnable belt clip will get too loose so I just drill a tiny hole through that assembly and wire a paper clip through it to get a couple more years out of it.
love getting a bit vault for Christmas leaving it in my living room for an hour while i take a nap and then comeback to get it realizing its broken and my mom said my sister was playing with it. Kill me
I carry an EDC pocket organizer as an excuse to carry more gear. I got one and instead of putting my existing EDC in it, put all new stuff so now my EDC has just doubled lmao.
Great vids! Super high production quality and awesome info. Liked and subbed. Keep up the great work!! That leather belt "holster" is a very cool idea, I just don't know that I have any more room on my belt for another holster beyond the one I already have and the mag pouch. May have to try one of those pocket organizers out though...
I lost a titanium Bit Bar filled with a bunch of Wiha bits. It was a sad day. The pocket clip on it is pretty bad. Poor retention and the exterior is just too slick. Maybe I would’ve gotten the FRN model
I hate having big ass chunks of stuff in my pockets. I already have a huge phone that takes up an entire pocket as to avoid screen issues, and a wad of keys in my other pocket. Adding any more to that is an issue for me. I decided to make a leather organizer/sheath to carry a clip less knife, small light and pen and it is carried scout style on my belt. That has been the best way to carry my knife/light as I just hate having a knife adding to my pocket bulk and most of the time the back pocket is out of the question as I sit in hard shitty chairs at work, and anything substantial in that pocket is annoying to sit on
The organizer you use yourself, on this video for the belt, will it fit in you back pocket if you fold the belt loops? It's pretty hard to find organizer in Germany... And this one you're using is one of the organizer I can find easyli
one of the reasons I have never carried a organizer for my EDC was the ability to get to it quickly, almost like Johnnie on the spot. my light and blade was the most important and them my pen.
I have a fairly large Swiss Army knife on one hip and want to carry a Leatherman Surge on the other one...on my belt. They mail some really nice ones these days. Some from Ivan.
I could see the holster one for work use. but don't see the point for pocket carry, just one more step to get my knaf out. maybe for a bag that doesn't have pockets but most do. I will say they look good all loaded out for I guess the purpose of pics?
For me, it doesn't make sense to use a PO for things that already have clips. And for my SAK that doesn't have a clip, I know where to find it. Right beneath my wallet, lying horizontally. So, either way, it takes the same number of movements to access my SAK with or without a PO. They look cool. But unless used as an organizer within a briefcase or bag/backpack, I don't find them to be helpful when used as a pocket within in the pockets of my pants. Thanks for taking the time.
I know this is a sponsored video but I'm suprised that there is no mention of Maxpedition products for organizing. I have 2 that I carry in my edc bag and they have been around forever. Good videos as always thanks
I love the organizer but would never use it to carry my pocket knife that could save my life in assault situation even with practice if your taken to the ground you will never be able to pull out the knife one handed and open it to defend yourself good idea for pens credit cards but never to sheath a defensive knife
@@TheHuckeberrie tactibro like your nickname I did say I liked the organizer and I am 57 years old and live in free state of New Mexico up in the mountains you dont have to tell me about the utility use of a pocket knife I live on a horse ranch Mr tactibro .... If you carry a knife you should be ready to use it as a defensive tool or maybe your a good runner .... Stop hating I did say I liked the organizer I just would not carry my utility/defensive knife in it
@Alex I actually bought a wallet organizer and I like it the first thing I did was try and fit my rat 1 folder my spyderco police my Ken onion crtk shenanigan and your right but I dont carry a small secondary blade I carry a fixed rat3 a cold steel master hunter cold steel srk in rotation living on a ranch this is daily carry along with a Gerber multiplier I do carry a Gerber dime in my pocket I do like the organizer and use it occasionally I open feed bags cut hay bales cord all day long so I need a big pocket knife and a good survival knife for any emergency in the mountains I'm not hating the organizer just not made for quick deployment but I does have other uses thanks Alex take care
@@camojoe83 yeah Joe I'm a marine and a judo instructor ground work is my special specialty quit hating man what happens if someone jumps you from behind takes you to ground and starts beating the shit out you oh wait let me get me knife out of my pocket organizer
I have the exact opposite approach: I can't stand a great big lump in my pocket and would rather have the weight spread out over multiple pockets. It also looks better not having a bulge. I'm fairly consistent in where I put things, so I'm not inclined to lose them.
I know you all love your EDC and I like flashlights knifes and pens but 1: I dont use them 2: I hate to carry things in my pockets! just my phone wallet and keys all my pockets are full and is so uncomfortable to put stuff in your back pockets specially when you sit down. are you gonna sit on your stuff?
I wish they made one to carry a knife and a key fob and some cards. I don't really think many people need to carry a pen but a key fob is becoming more common with push to start cars
I know this is a pretty old video but you’ve introduced me to three new companies that make something I’ve been looking for. So thanks! I haven’t looked through the manufacturer’s websites fully yet but do you know if anyone makes something like this with a money clip on the back?
Do you think putting a ONO fidget roller in the multi section part works? cuz I can't carry a multitool, since I'm a student but this EDC organizer is just badass.

I use the cheap clip and mine is reliable every single day. That’s my number one edc piece of kit.
I carry 2 phones a full Wallet in the rear and my charger in the other side. Then the leather man wave, xs knipex cobra, fenix e35, and a wera tool check plus. Bless a good belt
I miss my Leatherman Wingman. Such an efficient little multitool and good quality. I need another one.
Just purchased my first hitch and timber, thanks for showcasing !
I edc a h&t. It’s efficient and effective. Much more clean and nice. Mine holds my pen, flashlight, sak and cards.
Interesting. I carry my military retired ID and credit card in an ID display clip on a lanyard around my neck. One of those organizers with a grommet I could carry the same way but handle more things. I don't like having anything in my rear pockets.
I ordered a lipstick-sized keychain flashlight based on your reviewing 'em. Looks like that could go into an organizer, too. I could adapt your lanyard idea for my EDC knife and the flashlight.
I usually leave my S8+ phone in the car. It might fit in an organizer. I do have a belt-clip slip case for just the phone. Hmm... Some organizers clip onto a belt, too.
Funny, when I used to carry a briefcase, I bought one made of ballistic cloth. I cut out a zippered pouch from the back compartment and "free-floated" it in the front of the briefcase as... an organizer. Only thing, it was just the one compartment. But, I had the concept down!
Is there such a thing as an EDC Fidget Spinner?
I just use a molle mag pouch
I love that molle system so much
I personally have a wallet organizer with my pen and field notes, and a belt organizer with my knife, light and bitvault
Man that copper para 3 looks beautiful, I really love the look of brass and copper with the patina.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the new video. I know you have tossed around the idea of opening up submission to pocket organizers and I would love it if you did! Women's jeans do not support phones in pockets let alone EDC gear so anything out of my usual work day comes in a pouch. Keep up the good work and look forward to more videos in the new year
I'm weird and like to have quick access to my knife and flashlight. Probably not entirely necessary but it's my preference. A more practical issue is easy access to items. It's nice to be able to pull out a knife or flashlight easily with one hand (I work nights often and open a lot of boxes). I like the idea for pens, note pads and wallet stuff though.
My space pen sits right ext to my lighter in my "watch pocket" on my jeans(i wear jeans every day due to work). I may try one of these edc organizers for the weekends and such. Good video, new sub!
At some point we as tough burly men should just accept that we need a sack with a shoulder sling. I blame cell phones. My beeper never took up a whole pocket.
You mean a purse?
Spock a man bag.
@@elspoko so having a dick means we don't need something like a bag that holds thing we need? Man up and wear a "purse". Sad most are worried about damaging their fragile egos.
I looked at hitch and timbers and it took like 2 minutes to find my perfect pocket organizer for how I like to carry my stuff
have you ever used / reviewed a drop leg bag? Im a welder and i EDC A LOT of gear including a 6 x 9 steno pad when im working a job. My wife went looking for a fanny pack as a joke but instead found loads of drop leg bags on amazon i cant shake the thought that would not be a bad idea... thoughts?
Nitro the only thing you need is a flashlight and a tungsten holder. You’re overthinking welding.
Nitro - I’m not a welder and did not know what a drop leg bag was until I looked it up just now, but I’ll throw in my two cents worth and say go for it. They are inexpensive, and if it makes your working life easier it’s worth every penny. Best wishes.
That pockit pro was exactly what I've been looking for, but not in leather. I guess that will do just fine.
Organizers were never my thing, but that belt loop one caught my eye, i might get an organizer now...
Interesting. A holster might work better for my needs but I appreciate you sharing this
nothing is overkill. I edc a Leatherman surge simply because I like how robust and heavy duty it really is
I looked into different designs of EDC organizers and they don't fit my specific needs - quite expensive costing some $60-$100. So, I started designing them myself and made a couple of iterations. How about a video of people like me who make their own EDC organizers? I just waiting for my leather material to arrive to finally create the final iteration after 4 design experiments.
We love to see a video about the chords and beads you put on your knives specifically the para 2 of yours and the proper thanks in advance. Loving your channel.
I just lost a very nice flashlight and pen, so yeah. I need an organizer!
I can relate. I have found my pen or my light in sofa cushions or beside car seat countless times.
Dude. I totally got caught off guard and thought you were about to rap at 1:14 😂😂😂
You really need to look at the Dewalt Smartphone holder.
It carries so much more and just clips off your belt in one second.
$20.00 at home depot.
.
I just cut a little Rubbermaid box to fit in the sleeve to deal with the cutouts.
.
After a year the turnable belt clip will get too loose so I just drill a tiny hole through that assembly and wire a paper clip through it to get a couple more years out of it.
That yellow pocket pro seems to fit my needs. Thank's
I should submit one day i think you will like the leather wallet organizer that i've made myself since the hitch and timber doesn't fit french IDs
love getting a bit vault for Christmas leaving it in my living room for an hour while i take a nap and then comeback to get it realizing its broken and my mom said my sister was playing with it. Kill me
So you're saying it's not durable?
Question...who makes the beltloop organizer?
Good question. Its one of the links he left out of the gear featured list.
I carry an EDC pocket organizer as an excuse to carry more gear. I got one and instead of putting my existing EDC in it, put all new stuff so now my EDC has just doubled lmao.
I'm really tempted to learn how to leatherwork so I can make a custom EDC case for myself
(Slips Swiss Army Knife into pocket and starts stop watch.) "Ahhh 30 seconds every time."
Great vids! Super high production quality and awesome info. Liked and subbed. Keep up the great work!!
That leather belt "holster" is a very cool idea, I just don't know that I have any more room on my belt for another holster beyond the one I already have and the mag pouch. May have to try one of those pocket organizers out though...
The hitch an timber wallet works great
I lost a titanium Bit Bar filled with a bunch of Wiha bits. It was a sad day. The pocket clip on it is pretty bad. Poor retention and the exterior is just too slick.
Maybe I would’ve gotten the FRN model
I hate having big ass chunks of stuff in my pockets. I already have a huge phone that takes up an entire pocket as to avoid screen issues, and a wad of keys in my other pocket. Adding any more to that is an issue for me. I decided to make a leather organizer/sheath to carry a clip less knife, small light and pen and it is carried scout style on my belt. That has been the best way to carry my knife/light as I just hate having a knife adding to my pocket bulk and most of the time the back pocket is out of the question as I sit in hard shitty chairs at work, and anything substantial in that pocket is annoying to sit on
The organizer you use yourself, on this video for the belt, will it fit in you back pocket if you fold the belt loops?
It's pretty hard to find organizer in Germany... And this one you're using is one of the organizer I can find easyli
one of the reasons I have never carried a organizer for my EDC was the ability to get to it quickly, almost like Johnnie on the spot. my light and blade was the most important and them my pen.
I have a fairly large Swiss Army knife on one hip and want to carry a Leatherman Surge on the other one...on my belt. They mail some really nice ones these days. Some from Ivan.
Cheap little leather change purse works well too.
can i fit my hot pockets in these pockets so i can keep it in my pocket?
I could see the holster one for work use. but don't see the point for pocket carry, just one more step to get my knaf out. maybe for a bag that doesn't have pockets but most do. I will say they look good all loaded out for I guess the purpose of pics?
Just ordered my second organiser from drop. Loving them. These sound nice but hard to get here in Australia
@13:49 insert clip of George Costanza's wallet from Seinfeld... lol
Love Hitch and Timber products! I’m rocking the Duz All in Brown Nut:)
Nice video…. We busy creating a pocket organizer, and this provided some insight, thanks
Nice video! You certainly have helped me get more organized. Thanks!
Pocket organizer. I use them in my backpack, car, and very rarely on my belt.
For me, it doesn't make sense to use a PO for things that already have clips. And for my SAK that doesn't have a clip, I know where to find it. Right beneath my wallet, lying horizontally. So, either way, it takes the same number of movements to access my SAK with or without a PO.
They look cool. But unless used as an organizer within a briefcase or bag/backpack, I don't find them to be helpful when used as a pocket within in the pockets of my pants.
Thanks for taking the time.
The solution for me has been belt sheaths. Just take all the stuff out of my pocket.
I’ve love watching your videos Taylor ✊🏾 Been a fan since the original MOD days. Would it be possible to see a “7 reasons you should” playlist?
Nice side-by-side comparison video! Just subscribed to your channel. This helped me organize my EDC stuff in a better and more efficient way. 👍
I clicked so fast the moment I saw the leather pocket organizers lol
Merry Christmas sir, I’m getting a Hitch and Timber when I decide which one I want.
I know this is a sponsored video but I'm suprised that there is no mention of Maxpedition products for organizing. I have 2 that I carry in my edc bag and they have been around forever. Good videos as always thanks
I did mention them no just don't have any on hand.
I try to carry as less as possible I just can't justify adding something else in my pocket ... but I do like the belt organizer
I love the organizer but would never use it to carry my pocket knife that could save my life in assault situation even with practice if your taken to the ground you will never be able to pull out the knife one handed and open it to defend yourself good idea for pens credit cards but never to sheath a defensive knife
Welp not as many people as you think carry a knife for defense. They carry them for utility. Sorry tactibro
@@TheHuckeberrie tactibro like your nickname I did say I liked the organizer and I am 57 years old and live in free state of New Mexico up in the mountains you dont have to tell me about the utility use of a pocket knife I live on a horse ranch Mr tactibro .... If you carry a knife you should be ready to use it as a defensive tool or maybe your a good runner .... Stop hating I did say I liked the organizer I just would not carry my utility/defensive knife in it
Lane Davidson And you are the type of snowflake dumbshit to get gutted in an alleyway. It must be nice to live such a safe and sheltered life.
@Alex I actually bought a wallet organizer and I like it the first thing I did was try and fit my rat 1 folder my spyderco police my Ken onion crtk shenanigan and your right but I dont carry a small secondary blade I carry a fixed rat3 a cold steel master hunter cold steel srk in rotation living on a ranch this is daily carry along with a Gerber multiplier I do carry a Gerber dime in my pocket I do like the organizer and use it occasionally I open feed bags cut hay bales cord all day long so I need a big pocket knife and a good survival knife for any emergency in the mountains I'm not hating the organizer just not made for quick deployment but I does have other uses thanks Alex take care
@@camojoe83 yeah Joe I'm a marine and a judo instructor ground work is my special specialty quit hating man what happens if someone jumps you from behind takes you to ground and starts beating the shit out you oh wait let me get me knife out of my pocket organizer
I have the exact opposite approach: I can't stand a great big lump in my pocket and would rather have the weight spread out over multiple pockets. It also looks better not having a bulge. I'm fairly consistent in where I put things, so I'm not inclined to lose them.
I'm gonna try one on a lanyard around my neck. It's how I already carry my ID and credit card.
Or... how 'bout a shoulder holster!
Worth a try. I wouldn’t want it to get too heavy though.
I know you all love your EDC and I like flashlights knifes and pens but 1: I dont use them
2: I hate to carry things in my pockets! just my phone wallet and keys all my pockets are full and is so uncomfortable to put stuff in your back pockets specially when you sit down. are you gonna sit on your stuff?
Paul Rojas always carry a knife minimum for self defense
I wish they made one to carry a knife and a key fob and some cards. I don't really think many people need to carry a pen but a key fob is becoming more common with push to start cars
I like that belt organizer!
I know this is a pretty old video but you’ve introduced me to three new companies that make something I’ve been looking for. So thanks! I haven’t looked through the manufacturer’s websites fully yet but do you know if anyone makes something like this with a money clip on the back?
Do you think putting a ONO fidget roller in the multi section part works? cuz I can't carry a multitool, since I'm a student but this EDC organizer is just badass.
I find usefull the wazoo cache belt to carry small items around your waist. It works for me. I would suggest to check it out.
Is that an Olight S2R baton in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I've lost my Fisher Space Pen Bullet :(
Hey brother, what camera do you use to film this video?
Do you think you could find a good wallet/pocket organizer on Amazon? It would be very much appreciated.
