@@nutnfancy Thanks for your response, nutn. While I don't carry a multitool, I feel my EDC system, which consists of a knife, flashlight, watch, proper footwear, pistol, and spare magazine, and pocket IFAK is good enough for me. So, I feel that I don't need to sit through a one hour video of ramblings over things I and probably many others already know. I did everyone like me a favor, so they wouldn't be subjected to things they may already know, but for some reason were curious enough to click on the video.

Of all the tools you recommend for daily carry, I have been glad I had each one on my person at some point. -Multitool: I've enjoyed the convenience of having a variety of tools available with me at all times. I've used my multitool to install batteries, cut rope, open cans, and even construct a roadsign sign for my church. All the chairs and tables in my dorm's lounge area were falling apart, and I just pulled out my multitool one day and tightened all the screws. It brought me joy to see people use the room again. Without a multitool readily available on my person, none of these things would have been easy, and some of them would have been impossible. -Flashlight: I can't count how many times someone near me has needed extra light, and I was able to shine my light on the low setting for them to find something or finish working. At night, I've used my light on the high setting to check for dangerous people or animals in my vicinity. -Pen: I've had multiple instances in which an important document needed to be signed, but there was no pen available on the counter or near the drop-box. As a matter of fact, I had to use my own pen just the other day to sign in for a job interview. -First aid kit: I have handed out plenty of bandaids and used some myself, and I am confident knowing I also have gauze and a chest seal with me (blood loss and tension pnuemothorax are two of the most common causes of preventable death, and these two items are relatively flat to fit inside a pocket-sized pouch). If you carry a gun, you should carry a first aid kit too. People get hurt much more often than they need to shoot someone! -Handgun: I've worked a door-to-door job in rough areas, and I nearly had to defend myself from both people and dogs on multiple occasions. I carry a Glock 42 OWB at 5:00, with a 2-magazine holster to even it out at 7:00. I've got 19 rounds of 380 at my disposal, and it all conceals without a trace underneath even my tightest sweaters. -Watch: I admit that I don't often wear a watch, but I do have some nice ones that were highly useful when my phone battery was flaky so I couldn't depend on my phone to tell time. -Other items: For size context, I carry my wallet, my phone, and my keys all in the same pocket. How much size do these items actually need to take up? I've seen people carrying jumbles of keys for cars they don't even use, and their wallets and smartphones are fatter than my aforementioned first aid kit. I picked out a small, thin smartphone on purpose, I keep only my car & house keys (2-3 keys total) on a keychain, and I use a "minimalist" wallet that carries my ID's and debit cards but nothing else. That's all I use each day. People who know me are often surprised that I manage to carry all of these things on my person (I'm a 150-pound 23-year-old), but the key is to know a little bit about men's fashion and how to work with your body. I buy small tools, but not the smallest tools available; they have to at least be big enough for me to use them. With my body-size-appropriate handgun concealed nicely underneath an untucked polo or button-up, I have four jeans pockets available to sort and carry everything else. Oh yeah, and I wear boots every day, too; they're nice-looking for everyday wear, but they're also rugged enough that I can thoughtlessly transition to outdoor activities like exploring a creek with them. Thanks again Nutn' for guiding guys like me in our EDC choices! As men, it is our responsibility to protect and take care of those around us, and we must equip ourselves with all the necessary tools to help us do so. To the newcomer, it may seem that carrying so many tools is either overkill or impossible to achieve, but my experience proves otherwise. Carrying these tools is not only possible, but actually fun and helpful when you do it right. I can personally attest to being glad I had each of these items when I ended up in situations in which I needed them.

Water. An absolute necessity for me is water. I use a small red Camelbak daypack as a stand-alone edc (separate from on person items but includes them just because I don’t mind the little bit of weight it adds) Like your fannypack it’s a normal looking item where I live. Ergo blending in and not drawing attention. Another thing I’ve found it perfect for is trail riding. I live in Kansas so when I’m trail riding I need to have everything trim and compact ergo a small daypack that doubles as my water source. A first aid kit inside including Mechanix M-Pact CR5’s and a traffic vest just in case. Being a boy scout I learned why it’s a necessity to have first aid whenever wherever.. I have my own first aid system as I have medical training. Another great thing is in a pinch that Camelbak has served as a pillow. I try to remember that I am my own lifeline when I’m alone, biking and could run into someone in need that’s a reason why I carry a Mini daypack. Ramble tangent over maybe some tidbits can help others.

I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention less-lethal defense options. I used to be in the camp of thinking pepper spray and tasers were just for women, but I've since come around. I've yet to be in a situation where I needed my gun (still carry it, obviously), but I have been in quite a few where having a small canister of Sabre Red was appropriate. Officers carry it for a reason. If you only carry a knife or gun, your options for defense are either no force, or lethal force. Less lethal bridges that gap.

Well, if backpack/sling bag is not on body not sure the fanny should count in. You have said yourself you put it in your bag. I usually carry a sling bag of sorts or backpack and in there i have a EDC bag/pouch that has a bunch of stuff. But on my body (in pocket or on belt) i always carry a Victorinox outride or tinker, two (yes two) Olight i3e, one on my keys and one attatched to the knife. Also i got my rape whistle (Fox micro 40) on my keys. And a phone in an otterbox case to protect it from the dreaded screen breakage. In wintertime some chapstick usually goes in the jacket pocket as well, and sometimes i carry a watch (no defensive items here as that is illegal).

Glad you touched on shoes, as it's rarely considered and it's probably one of the most important aspects as it effects day to day living, and can result in health issues down the road as well if you cheap out. I wear hiking-style boots. It fits my style, they don't stick out as "weird" they're comfortable, and they're versatile. North Face Hedgehogs; hold up to abuse well, good traction, look normal enough, and they're Gore-Tex so my feet stay dry even in downpours. Actually have a funny story about how I gave up flip-flops. Out boating down a small river with friends, stayed out too late, and in the darkness my friend ran the boat into a log, turned it sideways, and flooded it. In the process we lost the cooler, boat, destroyed our cell phones, and soaked our lighters to the point of uselessness. While getting back to land my flip flop broke. We got stranded in the middle of a field, in the dark, drunk and dehydrated. Ended up sleeping on the ground that quickly turned to mud once it started raining huddled in a pile of guys lol. Turns out it gets cold even on a summer night when you're soaked to the bone. Wasn't a "life threatening" situation since we weren't lost, but it was a very valuable lesson on how the night could've been less miserable with a few minor preparedness steps, and how quickly things can go from okay to awful.

Multitool: I have a letherman wave. Carried it on a daily basis for 2-3 years. I have to say i used it outside of the military (and even inside) next to never. The pliers/wirecutter i used like 2-3 times and everytime but once i knew before i need a tool for this exact job and could easily just have brought one with me. On the downside they are forbidden to carry by law now (one handed operationable blade) and it teared my hand and trouserpockets up a few times because the "hook" on the file opened the tool a bit. A small swiss army (like the spartan but without the corkscrew) knife is usually all i need. If i do other things outside and i think of it i use a bigger one with a saw (huntsman model). I put a phonton light on them though. Knife: I carry a cold steel spike (have a few, thanks for the review) either loose in a pocket (pretty concealed) or with velcro on the sheath (totally concealed. I also carry sporadically a knife simmilar to the "linder Verlängerungsmesser" (dunno the english name for this kind of knife) because i like it. To my knowledge today with them i`m inside the limits what the laws allow. They are for cutting melons and other jucy stuff. Defense: mouthpiece (can even deescalate situations, just put it in and smile), kubotan, sabre red. A thing i wonder about is why the people who carry guns don`t have trauma stuff. Have at least a TQ. Take care that it works on children too. Whistle: If you want to save space use the head of a acorn Depending on what i wear i have a leather money belt with stuff to open locks on. Cash & button compass are always on and comes to use frequently. What`s your take on wallet holsters? Learned about them recently and there are some which look quite realistic (they even have a fake zipper). Greedings from germany.

I stopped wearing a watch a while back when someone attempted to mug me. The first thing a thief will see and go for is your watch since it looks like you might have other things to rob from you. I also don't wear any jewelry. Long story short he didn't get my watch and the police hauled him off after I laid him out on the sidewalk who happened to be nearby. I got lucky and that's when I started adopting they gray man concept of not standing out from a crowd whenever possible.

Revisiting nutnfancy. Been astray for 8 years I think, and suddenly remembered nutn because I am thinking of getting a handgun. :) What has happened in the gun market? I started looking at gun reviews, and remembered you, nutnfancy! Man it is a joy seeing you still at it after all these years! I have been watching some of your more recent work during the past days, but mostly about those guns you reviewed back then, Glock 19, Walther PPQ, others. And then this EDC video was suggested by the all mighty KZbin algoritm! Wow, memories flooding back into presence. I first saw your videos I think around 2010-2011, and a couple of them was as about EDC. Present day EDC check? After 13 years I am still rocking that 4Sevens CR2 and Leather man CS4 in my front left pocket I purchased 13 years ago (I am left handed). A bit worn now showing more aluminum, but still flawless performance! I don't think of them when they are I my pocket, but I sure feel naked those few days they are not! 😨 I honestly think they have not been out of my pocket for more than 14 days of 13 years. It happens when I go to events where pocket knives are frowned upon and I forget to put them back in pocket, but I sure feel naked without them after an hour! So nutn you made an impact on my life, and it was definitely for the better!😊 My CS4 fixing the screws on my glasses, other peoples glasses, open packages, fixing the handle on the refrigerator handle at work, door hinges (!), cutting wire, picking up hot stuff with the pliars, and so much more. I know you don't drink wine, but I do, so popping corks - Yes, that too! 😊 What I really want to say is Thank you! You are fun, but more important is that you are a good force, wanting to do good things. My hat off to you for still keeping at it! 👍 Ps. Oh yes, I also rock the all black Casio PRG-600Y on my arm since around 2016 or there abouts when you did that review. 🙂 Also flawless! Pps. I sharp my CS4 by turning a ceramic mug upside down and stroke the bare ceramic. It works, it not the best system LOL, but it is better than nothing. It cuts paper with ease.

Worth a try, you might find that it's not as annoying as you think.

Pretty much the only real mistakes you mentioned in this video is about dull blades and no signalling device (which I admit, I was partially guilty of it myself - I had a mirror, but right now I'm digging my old whistle out of a drawer to put in my backpack). What you say about adopting what is popular on the internet and not what works for them... it's funny that you mention it in a video where you assume that everybody who you gearcheck has to have what you think works, and not what works for them... But that is a true statement, I will admit, but it may or may not be a mistake - it might be just a phase to check out if it works and/or is it needed, for example I used to carry a small torch in my pocket, but it was way more of a nuisance than anything practical. So I had it on me for half a year, to check - will it work. It didn't, even though everybody said to have one. Day to day a smartphone light is better, and for other tasks I have a head torch in my backpack. On body vs bag/backpack... Well, that's something that I'd disagree with in some cases. On my normal day to day life, I carry most of my stuff in my backpack, since I'm pretty much never more than 5m away from it and I have it on me pretty much every time when I'm out, be it college, work, bonfire or a party with friends. In case I know that I must leave my backpack home I switch to a fanny pack, but it's rare. So yeah, that "only on body stuff counts" shit is not universal, unless you would consider what I described as still on person, as I don't know how you precisely define it. If you leave it somewhere out of reach for a longer time - yeah, it's not ideal (unless it's your third/second layer i.e. you still have vital stuff on you, at which point it doesn't really matter if you're near your bag). Not carrying a watch - not a mistake, personal preference. I don't like wearing watches, so I don't wear them. A phone is enough (also - you've shown that you have no idea when talking about that, if you think that a phone's clock depends on the network to work). Oh, and about pocket watches - you know, that back in the day those were the manly stuff and wrist watches were considered a female accessory? Times have changed, but you mocking smartphones by comparing them to 1800's pocket watch and then saying that the wrist watch is "the gentleman thing"... No, dude, just no. I can't comment much about gun stuff - living in Poland I don't really have to worry about that, since the likelihood of encountering a firearm are so minuscule - there are only 1.3 guns per 100 people, you are 30 times more likely to be murdered in the US than in Poland (murder with gun - 84 times more than Poland! That's 111 vs 9,369!), there are 54 times more rapes than Poland, there are twice as many burglaries and robberies than in Poland, 10 times more assaults, 5 times more car thefts - so yeah, Poland is a lot safer, especially when it comes to guns and combining that with a shitty process of acquiring a license it's both not necessary and very difficult to carry (aside from all mental and physical stuff - it's up to a chief of police from your local voivodeship, so if he decides that he won't give them to anybody in his region, then he doesn't have to, even if you've paid everything and passed everything with flying colours).

"basically taken in a few days"? In over a month and only after being attacked on two fronts by two of the worlds most powerful superpowers at that time and with literally no help from it's allies. Now compare that to France, which in a similar time span fell even with the help from other nations (mainly Britain, who retreated to the isles near the fall of France) and against only Germany (and Italy in the last few days, but it wasn't very significant). Yeah, "few days" indeed... And why aren't people armed now? Mainly because no one feels the need to be armed, and amongst those who do have guns it's mostly hunting and target-shooting, not self/home defence. But I guess that'll most likely be my last response to you, I won't feed the troll too much.

Gun Free Zone almost makes a situation worse ... Elsewhere: Hey everyone, the missus and I have been subscribed for a while and thought you might appreciate what happened involving us yesterday. It involves gun free zones, daily carry, and the bystander effect --- The missus is debating joining the Army (I already played that game and got out in 2010) so we were going to the local recruiting office to get some info. Problem is, that office is at the mall ... Which is a gun free zone. I debated leaving my sidearm at home. I'm not a fan of leaving it in the car but I went ahead and brought it then locked it in the car while we were inside. A few hours later we get home, exit the vehicle, and are chatting about it all in the driveway. Two minutes into chatting we hear a commotion down the road. We head to the sidewalk and observe a woman, 3 doors down, on the edge of the road, who appears to be playing with a large dog. There are two people standing just 4 or 5 meters away and they aren't reacting ... But something still seemed off. We start heading that way. Just a few steps in the woman cries out. The dog (large breed) is attacking her and she is holding something trying to keep it away from the dog. The bystanders aren't doing shit. We sprint to close the gap. Halfway there the dog hears us running up on him and disengages the attack. The bleeding woman is wide-eyed/frozen and in shock enough not to flee from the dog. I call to her and motion for her to come to me. I get to her first, quickly determine her injuries are non-lifethreatening, hand her off to my wife who is catching up, and have my wife call the police. I tell the bystanders to get inside and then pursue the dog who is pacing the sidewalk nearby. Over the next 15 minutes I track the dog. Keeping 10m distance but following him as he paces a 30m stretch of the road. Hand on sidearm ready to react. Keeping myself between the dog and the vic. Several times people popped out of their doors to see what was happening, the dog would react to them instantly (still worked up) and I'd tell them to get inside. Twice, the dog keyed in on me and approached aggressively but at a walk. Both times I was able to change his mind with my dominant attitude and a yell. Eventually, local PD/EMTs/Animal-control showed up and took over the situation. The woman lost a chunk from her hand and the small dog she had been walking (which is what she was cradling earlier) was beat up but not terribly so. There's more details of course but this is already long and sums up my involvement. --- I almost didn't carry yesterday because I knew we were going to a gun free zone. If I hadn't, I may have been able to stop the initial attack but I wouldn't have been able to pursue the dog and guard the rest of the community. Especially the look-e-loos who did fuck-all besides stand there or come outside so they could be in danger too.

Either a dad, husband, friend, cop, or a local business that performs the service they need. It usually takes an incident to open most people's eyes concerning preparedness of any degree. Let a storm disrupt their access to food or gasoline, be stuck on the road due to inability to change a tire, or heaven forbid be the victim of random violence then they start to look at things differently.

I am so tired of lookee-loos that just want to get a video of someone getting hurt or killed. Either do something or get out of the way. Been there myself with stray pits and working for a gun-free company and only having my knife. Thank God I kept my wits about me and didnt panic, that's the only thing that got me through. I'm glad you were there to help the lady. God bless!

I bought a Leatherman Juice CS4, and I use it ALL THE TIME. It comes in handy. Thanks for turning me onto multi-tools, Nuntn.

It's not a Fanny pack, it's a TTAP. Tactical Tool and Accessory Pouch

I prefer a man-purse, I mean tactical gear bag. Slung over the opposite shoulder for retention.

Was in a gun store here in Texas six months ago and a guy strolled in geared up for urban warfare. No armor, helmet or rifle but that was about it. Open carrying and all. The dude had the audacity to politely ask for a pen to jot something down. As much as I wanted to call him out, I bit my tongue and went on with my day. After all he is a brother to us 2A guys and gals. Also, us Texans have had a hotter than usual summer so dudes are printing badly through their t-shirts. At least it is on them, though. Nice vid, Nutn

I'm in Texas, I carry owb under my shirt and ever since open carry passed here, I dont give a rats butt if I print. I dont open carry but, if you look close enough, you can tell that I'm carrying. Carry how you want and dont worry about how others carry. Theres no point in griping about how others carry, I'm just glad that they carry. I will say that when I see someone open carrying in a serpa or a nylon uncle Mike's holster, I want to slap them, but I keep my opinions to myself and worry about my business.

Chris Duncan I think you're pretty much agreeing with me. However, if you're going to conceal carry then don't half-ass it. Just open carry or how you do it. I'm glad you agree that we need as many people carrying today as possible.

Never. Wear. Flip flops. Unless you're in the shower at the gym.

I can't stand 'em either. At least wear a good pair of sandals you can run full speed in.
