My favorite mechanical pencil is the "Zebra DelGuard Mechanical Pencil" from Japan. The tip has springs in it that retracts the lead when too much force is applied. While still possible, this reduces the amount of lead breakages. Can find them for $7.

Give the Skillcraft B3 Aviator pen a try. It’s a solid brass, black ink, red ink, and mechanical pencil with eraser in one. Been using them in the military for the last 20 years and I can say it’s a great edc. Very tough.

I personally use a Victorinox Rambler (keep it on my keychain) and it has been fantastic. I use the scissors and the toothpick daily. And the blade is so small, that it is legal in pretty much every country and region.

Came to say the same thing. Give the smaller knives away, people will use them 50x more. The tweezers, toothpick, and scissors get used nearly everyday. I own about 20 of the 2nd knife he showed.

Simple. Efficient. Gets the job done. And a pleasure to work with. Kind of like you, Bing. I started shopping for field books for my son-in-law, thought “ hey I could use some of these” and the trip down the rabbit hole ended with me thinking about how I could swing that leather jacket. I look at all the makers that you recommend and am blown away by the dedication, excellence and heart they represent. And date I say it: proud of these United States that in surrounding ourselves with freedom we also found our creative freedom across North America. Shucks. My jingoistic heart swells with pride. Thank you, Bing, for everything.

That Mighty Hanks is a great idea! Cotton side for wiping the sweatband of my fedoras and my brow. Microfiber side for cleaning my sunglasses. All while walking my border collies. The smaller than normal for a hanky size actually makes them more useful while walking as there isn't a boatload of fabric to re-fold before stuffing it back into my pocket. Great find Carl!

I actually buy paracord usually around 100 ft at a time. Use it for everything from boot laces to guy-lines for antennas and keep the extra in my bag with me. The hanks i find are to expensive for my average use so i just stick with bandanas. Around $5 so when they get worn-out im not really worried. Those books ill definitely be looking into, having those charts and the different layout of pages could be very handy. Thank you for the video!!! Cheers 🍻

Those aluminum scales and definitely sexy on the victorinox but The Climber has so much more utility with not much more bulk. The corkscrew is often the only tool in my toolbox to get a small part unstuck from a confined space. The scissors are indispensable, I keep one in my first aid kit because after a table saw accident I found those scissors to be better in all medically associated cutting than scissors made specifically for surgical and medical use.

I concur on the Victorinox rec. small ones, Alox, or the venerable Climber. I had a Cadet but I sacrificed it in a watch deal I made. Replaced with the Pioneer Alox. Another great choice is the tinker, the Spartan, or the Climber. All reasonable form factor that you throw in your pocket or car glove box. eDc pens. An obsession of mine lately. I have a few Fishers, including the bullet, though I like the CH4. But here is a hack if you need the write upside down functionality of fisher. The fisher refill is compatible with the Parker Jotter, if you use a plastic adaptor. So if you have a Parker Jotter or some other pen that takes a Parker style refill, you can put a fisher refill in it. I have a small bolt action pen in my car with a fisher refill. Edit. You can also mod a Zebra F701 to fit a fisher refill pretty easily. Then you have a colicky, all metal pen with a fisher refill for about $16

The rite in the rain pen ink cartridge has a rough textured ball at the pen tip and the space pen ink cartridges has a smooth tip ball. They are essentially the same other then that. The rite in the rain is a little better at writing in inclement weather situations.

You can also use Fisher refills in Parker Jotter and similar pens that take the Parker style refill. You just use a plastic adaptor fisher supplies in its refills.

If you're willing to go a tad higher, seriously consider the Franks Patriot, the JK 300, or the Drews logger. They're all slightly different but tremendous values! If you need to stick with the $150-$300 have a look at the Jim Green Razorback- thats still my favorite budget work boot.
