At last! My Budget Everyday Carry Choice 2022

[@JonGadget]

I really enjoyed putting this selection together and surprised myself with the quality that can be found on a budget. I'm sure those following these comments would be interested in any specific items you might want to suggest. Thank you for watching. JG

[@Tom_Bee_]

My top choice for a budget (ish!) EDC flashlight is the Fenix E-Lite at £20.

[@mytimebox1]

Jon do you have a recommendation for flashlight w/power bank?

[@eliansalinas7022]

RovyVon flashlights are literally the ideal EDC flashlight. Pocket clip that can be used as a hat clip, EXTREMELY tiny, weighs almost nothing, blindingly bright, INCREDIBLY long run times… there is nothing that is bad about these lights EXCEPT for only having Micro USB charging. These are probably the perfect gift for anyone who likes EDC, flashlights, or just anyone in general.

[@acefit3604]

They are even brighter and lighter than a lot of headlamps.

[@DudesIn101]

What I've noticed most in this vid as well as all of your vids is you didn't half ass it,hahah,I mean you really took some time to find and purchase the items and you pretty much stand behind them or their maker,that says alot about you and I appreciate your time and knowledge in your vids as well as your recommendations,thanks for all the great vids

[@0mfgeeze]

I bought the rovyvon and the windmill, I liked the windmill so much I went back and bought 2 more. Absolutely the perfect knife for me.

[@Flyquail56]

Jon, after watching this I ordered the Windmill. Very impressed with the knife and with Heinnie Haynes. Delivered from Wales to Louisville Ky in one week. Thank you!

[@JonGadget]

Great to hear 👍

[@simonh6371]

That's just so cool, people in the US ordering from HH in Wales! Normally we in the UK get frustrated at the limited availability of EDC gear compared to the US! Heinnie Haynes are renowned here in the UK for their almost magical quick delivery, like we order something online at 5pm and the postman brings it the very next morning.

[@erikbrock5444]

The best budget minimalist wallet is a large binder clip. You get a handful of them for a dollar/pound, they weigh virtually nothing, they'll hold several hundred dollars in mixed bills with plenty of room left for a stack of cards and a card style tool, you have two built-in rings so you can clip it to stuff, and since both rings are removable with an open end you can even use it as a keyring. Not sure if I'd recommend putting a tracker in there though; it might get crushed. Unless you need larger blade, the best budget minimalist knife is the venerable Vic Classic.

[@michaelmeyers2026]

Absolutely no criticism of your budget picks, plan to purchase some for myself.🇺🇸😎👍

[@graemeo3440]

Another great option for a cheap pen is those Bic 4 in 1 pens we had as a kid. The new versions swaps out the useless green for a mechanical pencil. A great selection though and as always a professional video.

[@JonGadget]

Good option 👍 thanks for kind feedback too

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

These are my go too as an RN- i like the finer tip rather than the 1mm one.

Security tip: keep your car keys on a separate keyring from your house keys. Because if you don't and someone 'acquires' your car keys, they will also have your house keys, and you will have to change all of the locks on your house. Sadly, I learned this the hard way.

[@JonGadget]

Good point - thanks for sharing

[@eeflos]

I bought the Tombow pen on a whim over a year ago, and it has become one of my favorite pens for EDC. It's comfortable in the hand, and the writing is very smooth. Great ink flow.

[@JonGadget]

Great to hear 👍

[@jimmeek8621]

Recently got a Rovyvon A1 (because I was too cheap for the A8 and decided I didn’t need the additional features). I love it! The 2 lumen mode is plenty for navigating through a dark house, which will be helpful when visiting friends and family overnight.

[@JonGadget]

It is a great option for the money 👍

[@CompassCustomCreations]

💥💥💥After watching this I ordered the Heinnie Haynes Windmill Knife. It took a little more than 2 weeks to receive it here in the States. What a very cool knife! I love the simplicity and the feel. I'm sure it will be a part of my Everyday Pocket Carry rotation. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Ashton.everydaycarry]

Great budget EDC video Jon! I recently purchased a Tombow Airpress and love it. Writes super well and is so light. I always have a hero clip attached to my EDC bag, but never thought how useful it could be for your keys. Have yet to get a Rovyvon flashlight but ive heard many good things so might have to soon. Thanks again and have a great day!

[@JonGadget]

Great feedback - many thanks 👍

[@PraxisPragma]

Thank you Jon for introducing me to practical EDC. I've finally found a channel that didn't obsess over knives or feature kits that would make one look like a repairman at a grocery store. You've helped me assemble my hiking EDC and now I'm working on my car EDC. One item that I'm adding to my hiking and car EDC are BigOtters compressed towels. Individually wrapped and made of cotton so they can double as tinder, I can stash just a few in pretty much any pack I have. Cheers from the US and keep up the good work!

[@JonGadget]

Thanks for the kind comments and great suggestion. Will check it out 👍

I picked up the Magconnect Pro and I have been using that for a week or so and it works really well. I use it with a Victorinox Multiclip belt clip and I can detach my keys easily when needed. I use Nite Ize S-biners aswell for attaching my Victorinox Compact to the multiclip.

[@ste-c1218]

Class video John ordered the heroclip mini NOW...it looks sooooo handy mate 👍🏻 keep up the great reviews.... 👍🏻

[@InimitaPaul]

I don’t do wallet’s but for the torch I would have gone for one with a removable battery, I have the titanium keychain Rovyvon and once the battery reaches a certain number of charge cycles it’s essentially useless and tbh, they don’t last that long from new. For the a budget knife I went with the Boker Plus Atlas Multi SW, £30 so I can pull it through the kitchen sharpener when it need it, I always carry a decently sized budget blade as I use it for all the crappy tasks like parcels and the smaller blades just don’t “cut it”.

[@afternoobtea914]

I like all of your choices except the wallet. I prefer cash so I have the Fjällräven zip wallet. Good video!

[@lndtbs]

I would go for a Victorinox Climber in a budget EDC kit, I don't know how much it is in the UK but I doubt it's much more than £20. It's one of the cheaper offers in the Victorinox line and it just so happens that it's one of the best EDC knives out there. I use the Compact now but I've carried the Climber for many years and it really is one of my favourites. I still use a really old and busted up Climber at work and it's fantastic. I really can't recommend it enough.

[@JonGadget]

Great feedback - Climber listed at £33.00 and is a great knife - also big fan of Compact too 👍

[@simonh6371]

You can get it for £25 if you shop around a bit, for example Millets have them for that and so does that huge non-specific retail website.

[@lndtbs]

@@simonh6371 There you go, I really can’t think of a better way ro start off a budget kit and it’s not a bad start for a non-budget kit either.

If anyone wants a great alternative to that knife; look up the Boker Plus Atlas. There's a version that's pretty much exactly the same thing, with scissors too. 👍

[@Aikidokajeff]

I have one as my daily carry knife. Excellent choice. I think it suffers from the scissor problem when cutting certain things and like the one in the video as I find the blades larger/wider than a SAK.

[@JonGadget]

I have a couple of Boker knives and they are great value

[@alfe1402]

what about add a anticut (cut resistant) tshirt. Seems pretty useful.

[@SlackingSince1969]

Great concept. Loved this video. Last week I added a standard size, stainless steel Parker Jotter to my edc. I bought a .5mm black ink quinkflow cartridge at the same time to replace the .7mm blue ink one that came with the pen. I don't like blue ink and I prefer the very slightly smaller writing from .5mm. Not ground breaking I know but I'm very much enjoying this pen. Congrats on 40,000 subscribers!!! Cheers from Toronto, Canada.🍻

I have the windmill knife and one and half years later the scissors can't been used because of the spring mechanism mulfaction that also allows a steel bar (?) slide out whenever the knife is used.

[@Philhellene1]

Great video again Jon, I haven't seen many with affordable EDC that we can put together in the UK. I just wanted to mention another relatively economical EDC pen, it would have been over budget if in your sekction and is also heavier than the Tombow. I use a Zebra F-xMD stainless steel body pen and put a Fisher Space Pen PR refill into it. Cult Pens have these if anyone wants to see what I am referring to (I am not affiliated). I saw just now that Cult Pens have 10% off the Tombow so currently £4.05 for the Tombow Airpress.

[@JonGadget]

I'm familiar with the Zebra - it's another popular EDC choice - great recommendation re Cult pens - thanks for sharing

The strobe on the flashlight will send an epileptic into a seizure. So unless your attacker has epilepsy then it's not much of a defence.

[@clintfloyd3612]

Decent list for the most part, but the scissor problem with knives like the Boker Atlas and the Windmill is just a deal breaker for me. I love the streamline and minimalist design, but if in the end it’s not functional in the ways I need it to be, I gotta pass. For the price, functionality, and overall construction, the Victorinox Compact will reign as king in the edc multi tool department.

[@JonGadget]

Makes sense. I usually spend a bit more too!

[@Andrei-vr4pj]

While we're on the subject of edc choices for 2022, I have a question. What's a good precision multitool? I love my pioneer x and classic sd combo but I'm looking for a smaller version of the Victorinox spirit and swisstool multitools (these 2 are on my radar as well, just need to decide which one to go with). I want a precision multitool (similar to big Victorinox ones) that I can carry in my pocket and will stand the test of time, not like Leatherman ones that rust like crazy

[@JonGadget]

Good question - not easy to answer - is LM micra too small? Could make a good video.
