(2016) Top 10 Useful EDC Items For $30 Or Less (GAW) - Preparedmind101

[@CanadianPrepper]

Great video for people on a budget, I may have to attempt something similar at some point.

[@The_Great_Whodini]

You always entertain... On top of informing, pm101 is one of my favorite channels, love it man- keep it up! Ignore the hate, keep it tacticool

[@KingTesticus]

EDC flashlight choice for licensed electricians (at least this one) is the Fluke Volt Light (LVD1), and those are under $30. what's great about them is they can detect voltage without contact. so let's say you see some damaged phukked up shit and there are wires hanging out all over, you can safely test without touching to determine if those wires are energized. i think that could be an important thing to know if/when some dire situation were to whatever blahblahblah :-) great video, thumbs up and subbed! thanks Chris

[@ubioubiestveritas]

+KingTesticus Thanks for the heads up on the LVD1 Fluke Volt Light. Sounds like a great item.

[@cleverkitsune4302]

No love for the maglite mini? Indestructable weatherproof flashlights under 12 bucks

[@knifelore1647]

@@cleverkitsune4302 I have a ton of edc Flashlights, an the mini mag is always on my side. Some of the old school stuff just works

[@mattkissel5112]

Love the list. I bought an Anker after watching one of your other videos. I have had a CS Ready Edge for many years and carry several of the items or very similar EDC everyday. Keep it up.

[@MightyCamperJohn]

I'm liking that little keychain light! Rechargeable!

[@jbirdbson]

I've been EDC'ing the Streamlight Stylus Pro and I absolutely love it. 2 AAA LED. Highly recommended.

[@timandrew1281]

Hi, I'm a poor person from the UK, and we arn't allowed anything ,lol. I think you'll find, we arn't allowed the cold steel super edge. No fixed blades, and must be under 3 inch blade. I have a Spyderco UK Penknife, Victorinox Ranger and Recruit, and Spyderco Bug and Grasshopper. I also have a Kershaw Cryo 2, illegal to carry, locking blade, and over 3 inch blade, so I use it round the house. Great videos by the way.

[@davidcarothers3311]

SMH!! How does it feel to be a Slave in a country that doesn't trust you to carry a cutting tool?? An oppressive Nanny State. No Thanks!!

[@davidcarothers3311]

@Jorn Navarre SMH!! Pathetic!!! Why do you people tolerate such Total Control??

[@davidventura5357]

I've always liked top 10 videos. They provide everyone's different insight and preferences for the topic at hand-fast. Top 10 videos are also great to get a better understanding of tools needed for that person's surroundings/environment. Thanks, Chris for sharing the video and thanks for the opportunity for the GAW.

[@GylmehsWorld1]

Enter me in your contest please. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work.

[@JimmyD_C172]

Thanks Chris. I was looking for a perfect knife for my wife. This is a good start.

[@CircaSriYak]

I got it. Next video should be top ten useless popular EDC items.

[@preparedmind101]

+CircaSriYak examples?

[@williamwarne9127]

Sweet video! I've had my eyes on the tube light for a while.

[@sappersteve1443]

you can legally buy a neck knife in the UK but you can't carry any fixed blade knife without a legitimate reason.The only knife you can carry on you without any problem is a 3in blade or less that folds and doesn't lock.I think this rule also applies throughout the EU?

[@bynx3959]

U summed that up very well

[@sappersteve1443]

I'm sure the same thing happens here in the U.K. and as long as you don't walk around with a big knife hanging off your belt like an american gunfighter;nobody will know;so good for you!

[@Baabehomestead]

Rarely see cops in the EU in general. They rely on cameras to do all the work. You can carry around practically whatever you want. The cops here in the EU arent hyper aware like the states, so its much easier to walk around with stuff on you.

[@MasterPhilip616]

The Super Edge is one of my top ten favorite knives. I use it tons, and you're right, it throws amazing sparks. Perfect little fire knife.

[@mikaelturnip8820]

Appreciate the UK mention but we can only have a 3 inch blade (max) folding knife that doesn't lock. But thanks, anyway.

[@yourmum4202]

that law has been changed we can not carry any bladed item unless we have a reason IE we are going to work and need the blade for work or we have some other good reason for carrying it if we don't have a good enough reason we can get arrested for carrying a one inch folding blade . I hate it here :(

[@RowdyFisk]

That's crazy - you guys need to jump on the law makers and make them see sense.

[@ValtaineDOctoi]

same here in Italy :/ I fucking hate our laws

[@willj476]

your Mum when did this happen!? I haven my heard anything about it?

[@Liam_s.y_EDC]

nope not true, 3 inch or less non locking blade without reason, locking or fixed blade needs a very good reason. if you need proof/ confirmation check the government website. I currently work for south Yorkshire police so I would hope I'm right. www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives

[@CristianoNogueiraBushcraft]

Just love that Nitecore... There are three others on their way to be given away as gifts. Thanks, Chris!

[@1jfmurray]

My Amazon Wish list is getting ridiculous, thanks to PM101.

[@PrioritySurvival]

Rico La Truest statement ever!

[@rodporterfield]

Now this is why I watch these vids. You just introduced me to something new...Vector Thunderbird Inserts!!! Nice!!! Only reason I never carry a zippo is because the fluid evaporates faster than I can use it up. Not going to happen now...they even make an insert that uses flints and has a 'soft flame'...wow...a win in my book. Thanks dude!!!

[@seven1six]

@Prepairedmind101 please pick me for the light giveaway!!! I love your channel... I AM NOT A DOUCHY tacticool dude

[@howardl5059]

I bought 2 Nitecore Tube lights back in June of 2015. A black one and a pink one. Both lights are still working great. I've recharged them about three times so far, just for the "H" of it. Neither has gone dead while in use. Mine has so far survived going through the washing machine TWICE and still works like new. Your mileage may vary. Just ordered the T360 headlamp. It should arrive in a few days. It's basically the same Tube light with a headband - currently selling for $19.95.

[@228TY]

he spelled tactical tacticool for the pen idk if that's wrong or not

[@lethanhnghi1898]

[@dexterr7256]

Taylor Smelser maybe cause it's tactic-Cool lmao

[@LaoevanSVU]

These are some great suggestions, I like that the items that you showed were not in one category, but in a bunch of different items that a prepper would need. Awesome!

[@savvysavages6931]

its the only wallet that makes you look like a 10 year old.

[@preparedmind101]

+Savvy Savages If you say so.

[@savvysavages6931]

PREPAREDMIND101 I do. I know because I have a tan one just like yours.

[@levibjornson397]

Savvy Savages rock the velcro

[@charlescollier7217]

Good video! I completely agree about the Nitecore Tube - I give them away to loved ones, because it is such an easy way to get them to increase their preparedness.

[@TheGingerburger]

Us poor people in the UK can have that knife but if we were stopped by the police for any reason the cops would ask us 101 fucking questions so alot of people don't bother because it's too much hassle.If you had to defend yourself from an attacker you probably get done for aggregated assault just for pulling it out over here in the UK

[@michaelcanning2815]

I do like the "budget" top 10s. Always nice to know preparedness doesn't cost an arm & a leg. Thanks for the tips!

[@presto4548]

I totally skip the intro.

[@preparedmind101]

+PRESTO Thats 8 years of bad luck. Worse than breaking a mirror. Go back and watch it quick.

[@DCgeek13]

Your not a real prepper then

[@presto4548]

+DCgeek13 nope, I guess not.

[@fox200o]

cmon the intro is cool

[@presto4548]

+António F. The intro is super bad ass and I've seen it often but I like to jump in and get right to the meat.

[@LuciSatanico]

Thank you for this list of EDC items for those of us on a tight budget, and especially for covering things that a lot of people don't even consider.

[@michaellucero1048]

Great ideas and items for EDC I also like how Chris keeps it simple and affordable for all his viewers! Nice job

[@jbradleydavis]

the reason i like your list videos is to hear your rationale. with so many products available that's sonetimes better to know than the actual review of the product

[@Panchosworld-u9v]

I've had my spec ops wallet for about 3 years and i love it...i have the larger 1...fits everything i want in it.....and yes want the TUBE LIGHT LOL

[@Rnemhrd]

Nice video. Budget gear is very useful. Knowing what's not junk is priceless.

[@CanItAlready]

This video just reminded me of one knife I've been meaning to get that keeps slipping my mind--the super edge. Been carrying a nitecore tube for a while now. Love it.

[@dmpeacefrog38]

As usual, I appreciate your candor, and the fact you continue to think of those of us who have a smaller budget. Thank you for this list, and the video. I sure wouldn't mind adding that Nitecore light to my EDC.

[@Sheltowee1775]

Got that nitecore for my elderly father at Christmas. He LOVES it. It works.

[@Tusker2zero2]

I've got that Anker Battery. I carry it in my EDC bag. I love it.

[@robertkline6747]

I really enjoy your videos! I've been watching your stuff for a year now and trying to build my family and my self a good bug out system! Thank you for everything you do! Love the key chain flashlight too!

[@RazorBladeAppleFilms]

So glad to see the Esee Zancudo on the list. Definitely one of m favorite folders and probably the most quality knife I've ever bought for the money!

[@kennethfox6271]

Absolutely love my Ares Gear Aegis Belt. Low profile, goes with everything and is built extremely well.

[@josephdykes1820]

Great video. I like the econo products as I am putting together my first EDC and car bags for my wife and I. I stopped in to Survival Tactics this past Monday and his wife helped me. That's a great store and I will be back in the future.

[@dallasn16]

I picked up one of those zippo inserts about 6 months ago and it's been working great. It sure makes my zippo way more usable now.

[@geckocustomknives5903]

seems like an amazing little flashlight, would love to win!

[@steddyk]

Blackhawk riggers belts are my favorite, they work super well for holding up the weight of a Leatherman and a large fixed blade without letting your pants feel like they're dragging off your body. great product.

[@tommycain8617]

I really like the top 10 lists especially ones for people on a budget...makes things easier for me.

[@itimmy101]

excellent video, brother! I'm just starting to build my bug out bag & edc on a budget, this video helped me a lot for choosing the right stuff for the right price. thanx a bunch!

[@SoCalPatriot81]

I've EDC that same Kershaw-Emerson knife for over a year now & still love it. The wave feature is sweet!

[@john8403]

Very cool products. That little light would get a lot of use with me and my family camping.

[@Cain0078]

I don't know why, but the concept of "top-10" just wake me up somehow. ... ty!

[@TheEternalknowledge]

I've had that Keychain light on my amazon wish list for a while

[@joncrespin1514]

been watching for a few years man. get most of my ideas from your channel. thanks man!

[@kvne71x]

Keep them coming! The Husky utility blade should be the 11th most useful EDC item on that list. It literly has become one of my top edc item for the past couple of weeks as I'm doing some home improvements.

[@47kcr]

Yea yea, products are nice, top 10's are fun but I've been enjoying your prep "mind " videos. Please keep them coming.

[@jam7661]

IDEA: Top ten items to have in a specific survival situation. For example: blizzard, drought, abandoned in a desert, etc. Would be really awesome to see! Great video as always, chris.

[@GOT2GOPREPARED]

My favorite edc light as well ! I carry s similar pen by smith & Wesson

[@samwich0078]

Would love to have this as an addition to my EDC collection! :)

[@todddinezza3921]

Hi Chris, Thanks for another informative video on affordable EDC gear. Looking forward to the next one!

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

Always good to see someone show some budget items

[@day-pack-dad9403]

I've had the Same THE Wallet since 2005 and the Blackhawk Riggers Belt since 2002. Well worth the investment. Great top 10.

[@crazyhorseranchaz]

Chris great review, will help lots of folks, products for the common folks that do actually work well and some that i own. Yes i include myself as a common folk. Thumbs up, your on the right trail.

[@jeffholmes49]

Nice. Looking to add/upgrade a few carry items now. The wallet being first. Thanx for the info and the opportunity!

[@kevindharma]

Really like your videos and variation of items reviewed. I've been curious about the Tube lights, thanks for the opportunity

[@toddklekotka3340]

Awesome stuff. The night core light would also make for a great back up, be easy to attach to a shoulder strap on a pack.

[@WalkinSilenceWalkinLight]

Great video and yeah this top 10s are one of my favorite types of videos. Thanks and God bless.

[@docoluv9]

I bought a nitecore tube because of this vid chris. I have it attached to my swiss army knife. Goes great together.

[@eugeneseib5974]

Love the top 10 lists. I like to compare them over time.

[@ubioubiestveritas]

Great tip on the Blackhawk belt sizing. The American made CMC Rescue belt looks similar but is a bit more expensive but excellent. For normal use the Blackhawk may be a good option.

[@robertpierce8299]

Thanks for the info. Always good to know what budget items are tested and trustworthy.

[@MrQuick-mb2wc]

Great video! Keep making these videos with quality items on a budget! I really like to test this little flashlight myself.

[@kchamp33]

A Very good list, with good explanation of each item. Thanks Chris.

[@shnicklefritz15]

The Zancudo is a great knife! It's so light, and fun to just sit and play with. Awesome video, by the way. I'd like to see more top ten videos, if you enjoy making them.

[@ibmoosed]

Top tens seem to attract my attention. This one was worth the watch

[@bridge5187]

I really appreciate your time and effort into the video's I learned so much from you and thank you can't wait to see more of your video's

[@jmsmith1767]

I just added that Kershaw cqc6k to my list of knives to pick up. Like minutes before I watched this. Thanks for all the videos!

[@campfire52]

Great list that should work for almost anyone. Thanks for sharing.

[@jairuskent439]

That small fixed blade was sick! Thanks for sharing.

[@SeanFisher]

Just got into really seeing the now obvious benefits of various types and levels of preparedness and am looking for good advice and, of course, budgeting is a given. Thanks for these vids.

[@bryanfaulkenburg462]

People love top 10 vids period , end of discussion. keep up the great work .

[@draconx8904]

I got the same wallet and after my dad seen mine he bought one also. I'm definitely going to be looking into a few of these items. Thanks for the great work.

[@IncredibleChief]

Awesome video man. Great selections. Good luck to all for the Tube light. Take Care and Be Aware

[@cybrowl6468]

Great EDC review. I currently am saving for a go pro so I can join outdoor video community. I retired this year and think I can contribute a few things to the masses that I haven't seen yet. Forty Five years of camping, canoeing, hiking, and hunting in Northern Ontario and Quebec.

[@dennisjpoleyjr8713]

Good stuff! A rechargeable keychain light, great idea ! And the best name ever...well maybe...Ford Probe is cool too.

[@janisukanen884]

Hi Chris! Top 10 or 5 lists are cool. Always fun and interesting to watch. Been thinking of adding that ESEE folder to my collection. Looks like i really gotta get me one. Great channel. You rock!

[@richardleneave9653]

Great ideas for the budget. Thanks, keep them coming.

[@southjerseybushcraft4299]

ok Chris I'll throw my hat in on that light, thanks for the GAW!

[@kiltedcripple]

those Tubes are almost addicting, you get one and you immediately want more. I've been giving them out like Halloween treats

[@coryburnett2588]

I definitely appreciate the budget top tens videos, it's difficult to find quality products in a low fixed income situation like myself and many alike. I have 3 different models of the Bushnell series of pocket lights. they're excellent for the money. Thanks again for taking your time to keep us stocked with new material. Stay Classy :)

[@johncurry6235]

Who doesn't like a nice compact rechargeable flashlight? Great work as always.

[@camman9888]

very nice list as always. great to be able to have nice, usable items without spending a fortune.

[@rhydianslinger5484]

+PREPAREDMIND101 Here in the uk, we are only allowed to carry a folding knife under 3 inches without a lock on it, it is illegel to carry any sort off fixed bladed knife or lock knife, what ever the size, so i carry a victornox tinker

Thanks for the Schrade pen cartridge info update, you save me definitely some time to do the research.
