2024 Gear Gift Guide For Dude's Who EDC/CAMP/BUSHCRAFT On A Budget!

[@nothingspecific.8119]

Fantastic items as usual! Well, since my family is deceased, I spoiled myself this Holiday just a tad! I ordered a nice pocket sharpener, EDC prybar, and the cold steel 4 max scout, along with a thrunight EDC flashlight! Only these aren't being stuffed in a stocking, but right into my pockets!😂👍🏻👍🏻

100% recommend getting the gel ear cups for the walkers. I added them last year for Christmas and they are a game changer as far as comfort goes.

[@gideonstactical]

Good suggestion

[@jeffp3415]

Excellent list! I heartily second the Duke Cannon Soap, Dude Wipes, Mechanix gloves, the paracord keeper, Anker chargers, the SharPal, and Opinels! You crack me up with a poop trowel for a stocking stuffer. I'd add a NexTool MultiTool, MagPul Daka wallet, NiteIze Aluminum CamJams, and the Olight Imini 2. Thanks for reminding us of the ONLY source of all of our blessings!

Aaron ... Thank you for another year of GT. Best wishes to you and your family for the upcoming 2025.

G'day Aaron, I've been dropping hints for some more AA NiMH batteries, ..... my needs are modest ; ) Could do a whole 30 buck vid just on fish'n gear ; ) Been meaning to look into those belts for some time, thanks for the reminder mate. Btw if you, or someone else, has a few, a belt hanger is a ripper, out of left field, gift IMO. Whata bout the little Fat Max tape measures, have to be the best bang for buck item on the planet !!!!!!!!!! Cheers Duke. P.S. I think it important to involve the kids in the purchase of little gifts, in terms of think'n about what the recipient would appreciate and why. i.e the giving is more important than the receiving. Besides, depending on age, give 'em a lesson in what X dollars can, or cant, buy; ...... stocking stuffers or not, I'd suggest give 'em a fair, but rigid, budget to work with, ..... i.e. without compromise, ...... unless they dig into their own cash to make up the difference ; ) ........ one may like to apply the same rules to wifey too, hehehe ; )

Some really cool stuff! I got the Buck 112 Slim Pro, (similar to the regular 112 Slim, but G10, S30V, and a better pocket clip), and it is a mediocre knife. It has poor ergonomics for one handed opening, and you have to grip it pretty far forward to open it with the thumb stud. If you want to flick it open using the thumb stud and a wrist flick, it takes a really strong movement. I'm sure I'm spoiled from all my other one-handed knives opening easily, but my Slim Pro is one of my least favorites. If they made a slim automatic, though...

This haul could have used a second stump to hold everything - thanks for a thoughtful collection. Happy holidays!

[@gideonstactical]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@bradricketts8691]

I think the next survey should be how many of these items do you already have, because you have watched and trusted GT videos for a while, lol, and how many do you have multiple of Lol! Great gift list man. Multiple royvon flashlights, lol.

[@gideonstactical]

Awesome!!!

[@mrcha0s]

You ever try Nitecore headlamps and power banks? The headlamps are top of the line for UL, and I hear good things about the battery banks

[@writtenbywill]

I have that exact Stanley thermos and I love it so much! Happy Thanksgiving

[@gideonstactical]

Nice, it’s a great thermos for sure!

[@Tony-sy7ed]

Your dongle may, in fact, have a micro port. Iv had one that Iv carried for a while and the lightning doubles as a micro port.

[@Liberty.Cant.Be.Canceled]

I got the Archetect special edition blackoit 4.5 for $30 plus 200...does that count?

[@gideonstactical]

Excellent blade!

[@rockynomad1776]

"Glumped" is an official EDC term 😂 Those canisters were for 35mm film rolls.

[@bigzach322]

Another good first aid gift is the Slishman Pressure Wrap. It will not replace a tourniquet, but it is a pretty trauma dressing. It is supposed to be applied directly to wounds which is good for small kids and dogs where tourniquets are not appropriate. It can also be used as a sling or splint. I have one in my hiking kit, and am gifting them to my family members for their vehicle emergency kits.

Fun fact France where openel knives cone from is now majority indian/african. And fast becoming grape capitol of EU edging out Sweden

[@wretchedmess]

Now you've got me really curious- would you be able to share the sources of your info regarding the majority and the grape info? I can't find any data supporting the majority statement, and a quick search seems to show that France produces 6.2 million tons of grape per year, and Sweden only 140 tons.

[@bigbl8717]

​@@wretchedmess I believe he is talking about something other than grapes. Try subtracting the G.

[@wretchedmess]

@@bigbl8717 man, I am not that bright! I couldn't figure out how the hell the entire French grape/wine apparatus could be outdone by Sweden.

[@bigbl8717]

@wretchedmess Ha, that's what tipped me off, and I just kinda deduced. I also watch some algorithm-savvy podcasts who use similar approaches to avoid getting dinged when they talk about touchy subjects.

[@wretchedmess]

social media fragility is absurd, and the phrasing workarounds just highlight the active censorship. I get all revved up about "unalived" and the like... I guess it's to keep the advertising dollars flowing in...

[@dasta7658]

I'd be a little concerned if someone was giving me deodorant for Christmas 🤣
