Best $100 Complete Everyday Carry from Amazon

[@michaelpawlitz3109]

These complete EDC builds at a fixed dollar amount videos are always some of my favorite content you put out. This style video never disappoints

[@seanvalle8471]

Would love to see the “Worst EDC” carry you can put together, full carry for as cheap as you can… without it being the absurdly worst thing you can get!

[@jax1670]

This is me basically

[@CertifiedSunset]

Here's my $100 EDC list suggestion: -QSP Penguin in Jade G10 with a D2 blade $31.50 -Zebra Pen F-701 retractable ballpoint pen stainless steel 0.8mm black ink (1-pack) $8.07 -Olight I3E 90 LumensEOS PMMA compact keychain flashlight $9.95 -KeySmart MagConnect Quick Release Keychain $11.99 -Victorinox Classic SD Red $19.99 -Magpul DAKA Essential Tactical Slim Minimalist Wallet $16.95 Total price: $98.45

[@geico1975]

Cool list, but my own EDC I can do without the multi-tool and wallet, so I'd put a few more dollars into the quick release keychain just to get a stronger magnet. The Zebra pens come in second to the G2 Pilot pens IMO. Love the QSP Penguin pick too, and can't argue with an Olight I guess:)

[@CertifiedSunset]

@@geico1975 i also prefer the G2 pilot pens, and I would choose a better light if budget allowed. I just threw the list together to see if I could conceptualize a better kit going by his criteria in the video. Edit: My personal EDC is much more expensive.

[@disco4535]

Only thing I'd change is Zebra pens because their quality is abysmal. Many other options, some are even a little cheaper. I bought that exact same pen about a month ago and it was a choppy mess. Pulled the other one out of the 2 pack and it was even worse. Threw them away and bought pilot g2 and Sharpie S-Gel. Both have been flawless.

[@xDooksx]

Good picks, but a Qsp parrot is also nice and less expensive than the penguin.

[@geico1975]

@@xDooksx QSP Penguin was my first QSP and my second was the Parrot. Both good EDC's for sure. There's so many though of that size, materials and cost, which are great! Even a couple models of Ganzo knives are just fine EDC's for anyone.

[@98sevensix]

Nite Ize keyrack slide lock $5, Chums Surfshorts wallet $10, Zebra F301 pen $7, Streamlight Microstream USB $30, Gerber Shard multi tool $7. Leaving $41 for a knife. The Chums Surfshorts wallet is a very underrated Wallet. I love mine!

[@yellolao]

For a tiny mini square flashlight with red LED, I would highly recommend Rovyvon E7. Not only it has brighter twin LEDs, but also dual white/red sidelight flood light modes. Best of all it has both an internal rechargeable battery and AAA battery as primary or backup.

[@christophermaxton7317]

I have the Victorinox Rambler. It's basically the Rally with scissors. I love the mini phillips head screwdriver. It's the most used tool on there for me. Great video. Keep up the good work!

[@MightyRedHat]

Here’s my $100 carry from Amazon: Knife- QSP Parrot: $26.50 Light- Wurkkos FCII: $26.39 (on sale!!) Wallet- Herschel Charlie: $15.20 Utility- Prybid X: $20.40 Keys- Lucky Line Bolt Snap: $8.25 Pen- Zebra Pen F-301 Blue: $2.12 Total: $98.86

Please do a series on independent Etsy seller EDC ideas.

[@JM-hj3sm]

Taylor, cut towards yourself all you want. But you keep going on and on about how you never leave the house without a TPT and you STILL choose to open packages with a 3 inch blade?!

[@semkoot8315]

TPT isn't just a dedicated package opener my guy

[@JM-hj3sm]

​@@semkoot8315 I know. I'm just busting his balls.

[@admiraljosh]

​@@semkoot8315 I mean, sure... but, literally, if you look up box cutter on Google, it'll give you retractable utility blade tools....

[@Cursed_Curator]

​@Sem koot Yea, but if he has it, and loves it so much, and carries it on his site, then why wouldn't he use it over a random folder?

[@semkoot8315]

​@@Cursed_Curator Cause a normal knife can open Amazon packages aswell?! Utility knives are nice to have on you for when you're cutting stuff that would put unnecessary wear on a normal knife like sandpaper or chicken wire. You really don't need to overthinking what knife your going to use to cut tape. He just grabbed the shamen and went with it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@danielmeans9539]

I love when you do these challenges! I would like to see you actually shopping and picking out the stuff, like you did in the first couple videos. Other than that awesome vid man, keep them coming!

[@Traderjoe]

FYI, in the 1960s and 70’s, arts and crafts teachers were told to tell kids who they saw were butterfingers to never cut towards themselves because they didn’t want to liability of the parents of these kids suing the schools. Somehow it became a norm that you shouldn’t cut towards yourself. It’s completely nonsensical to anyone who has any skills and motor control. The butterfingers of this world should follow this, but they generally would not be interested in anything EDC. And if you are an EDC person and you are tempted to say this, then you are the person that everyone regards as a fuss budget

[@michaelg2607]

Personally, I would nix the flashlight (a phone has a passable light), and combine the knife and multi tool into one (by doing this you can get a nicer tool, and at this price point, you don't need two dedicated tools). Here's my stab: - Gerber Gear Suspension NXT: $29.99 - Nite Ize Dual Locking Carabineer: $2.95 - Magpul Daka Essentials: $16.95 Total cost: $49.91 This has the benefit of giving you a nice pair of pliers as well. If you don't need the pliers, I'd switch the Gerber for a Milwaukee 6-in-1 Fastback. Utility knife EDC isn't flashy, but it's got a lot going for it, plus it'll save you another $5.

[@gracingthestage]

$50? No sweat! - Pen ($3.14): Zebra F-301 Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Stainless Steel Barrel, Fine Point, 0.7mm, Blue Ink, 1-Pack - Flashlight ($6.99): Foxhawk Mini EDC LED Flashlight, Cree XPG2 R5, AAA, Max 180 Lumens, Black - Wallet/Keys ($9.99): Chums Surfshorts Wallet, Lightweight Zippered Minimalist Water Resistant Wallet with Key Ring - Knife/Multitool ($12.85): Mil-Tec MI212 Military Folding Knife w/ Saw Blade, OD Green - Watch ($15.88): Casio W-217H-9AVCF TOTAL: $48.85 (enough left to add on a $0.99 bandana/handkerchief, to round out the carry!)

[@brendandennison3477]

Love these types of videos, I would love to see an Antique Store version with maybe a rough time period. Love different time period edc’s.

[@josephlawrence6873]

Sounds like a great idea

[@andrewcardillo4376]

Excellent idea!

[@sompsmash]

What about a $100 EDC build without the knife? That way you can show some better quality items that we might not know about without half the budget going to the knife. I feel like people are pickier about their knife choices anyway and so whatever budget knife you pick, 75+% of people aren't going to be interested in that knife anyway.

[@DrahtEsel91]

$50 carry, Opinel is the knife to go with here!

[@AdAce21]

fun little challenge! I like your pen, knife, and SAK choices. Here's mine: Idakekiy Key Chain with quick release: 7.99 Minimalist wallet: 9.99 Pilot G2 gel pen-2 pack: 2.98 Victorinox Rambler: 26.98 Olight I1R 2 Pro: 21.98 Civivi Mini Praxis: 29.75 Total: $99.64 Note: You could swap the Rambler for the Spartan if you wanted a bigger SAK, or drop it all together and pick your favorite casio if you want to go watch instead.

[@crash71x]

For probably a couple of decades I used the blue rubber bands the hold broccoli together. Those are the cheapest, best wallets.

[@admiraljosh]

It would be cool to see a Vs. video where you buy a couple different carries (for $100) and compare them. Maybe allow submissions and have people vote for at least one of the options.

[@andrewcardillo4376]

This is an awesome idea, second this!

[@legoking5499]

I love these complete carry videos. I'd love to see you do one where instead of setting an overall budget, you set a budget for each item like $50 per item or something.

[@SJGINC]

How about a series of x dollar items. For example, best knife for $20, best flashlight for$20, etc. Whatever dollar amount, then someone could save for each one.

[@carolinajedi9384]

Thank you for the video! The knife looks great! Would you ever try shopping on that Temu app for a budget carry? It would be interesting?

[@koblades9076]

I love my sak rally. I like having the Phillips head on my keychain and it has come in handy at work so many times. I never need the scissors.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

I have a $100 carry that I use quite a bit because I don’t mind losing parts of it. It’s as follows (all purchased this year, but some were on sale): Civivi Praxis: $32 Nextool Mini Sailor Lite: $20 Rovyvon A3: $16 Hamans Titanium Multi Pry Bar: $16 Zebra F-301: $4 Chums wallet: $12

[@reynorpadilla-rx3bu]

What is the pocket knife you used to open everything? It's very nice

[@DanielGonzalez-yn2vi]

Do you know about the hypodermic attachment for that zebra? Pretty slick I highly suggest it

[@Tysto]

- Victorinox Rambler $35 (has mini screwdrivers) - Milwaukee Fastback $15 (has large screwdrivers) - Olight i1R 2 flashlight (1000 lumens) $18 - Travelambo minimalist wallet $8 - any pocket or belt case (earbud case, Altoids tin, pill case, sunglasses case, etc.) for carrying a pen, mini-notepad, meds, etc. $8 or less ===== $84 A Bic Round Stic is practically free and can be cut in half to fit in any case, but if you want to get a little slicker, buy a Fisher Space Pen refill and wrap it with gaffer tape to give it some thickness and allow you to use the tape in a pinch.

[@Bubbashin]

The casio MDV106-1AV is a great casio diver it has a 200m depth rating and it has different color bezal inserts it 50 bucks and you can put 22 mm straps on it (Ignore the description it says bidirectional bezal but it is a uni) I got one for edc cause I have an expensive watch and I really don't want to mess it up so I have the black version with a black metal bracelet and it's wonderful Sorry about the spelling

[@collinis1]

Out of all the wallets I’ve tried. The chums surf wallet for $10 is by far the best. It’s slimmer than the ridge style wallets plus you can make one zipper pocket as a utility pocket . I keep a 58mm sak a rovyvon bandaids and some pills and it’s still more comfortable than other wallets with only my cards in it.

[@jrad21781]

Nice job. Maybe next instead of $100 limit. Do best value edc. Or only buy stuff you haven't owned and use it for awhile then tell us if you would buy it again or choose something else.

[@Ratchman_5000]

I know it's not cheap, but the olight arkfeld is the best edc light for me.

[@MrRufusjax]

You sound like me when random packages show up to the house and I was really drunk a few nights before.

[@bryanstone654]

The key to a successful 100 or even 50 dollar EDC is to include the 10 dollar liner lock unassisted flipper with bearings pocketknife from Harbor Freight. It's currently my favorite pocketknife under 25 bucks.

[@mourneris]

I bought 2. Because yes. I use my nicer Kershaw for EDC and my HF for work EDC.

[@bryanstone654]

@@mourneris IMO the HF is superior to many of the Walmart grade Kershaw and CRKT, and all the Gerber. Amazing for 10 bucks.

[@auduffer]

I love the post-purchase reactions for these kinds of videos as a way of showing some perspective!

No longer an outdoor type, my EDC: Carried on belt - Swiss Army Knife (Champ) in belt holster. 2 x Jigsaw blades (one metal, one wood) each in 1/4" heat shrink tube. 3" piece of hot melt glue stick Pen Lighter 1/2 round sharpening stone Key for house, on key ring with mini LED light, and 9mm Olfa utility knife, cut down to 3" long. Right angle LED light Leatherman Wave (this may be removed) 1 X $100 bill, rolled up (optionally folded small). I used to carry a $20 bill, but that wont buy anything now, as backup. Carried in pockets - Folded bandana, 2 x folded down paper towers, 1 X pack of tissues Cell phone Fresnel lens attached to cell phone in ID badge holder Wallet Spare key for house, on key ring with mini LED light 12' X 750# paracord And occasionally, conceal carry .40 cal pocket pistol.

[@stanfordhiga2135]

Great vid. I’d love to see a $1000 dollar edc video

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

Can’t see, just dropping $100, on most of that! I agree with the Fenix E03R, mine is in my around the house clothes pants pocket. I’ve had it for about two years, & it’s the most used flashlight I have! As for the wallet, your idea of the rubber bands may of been better! I like my pocket knives to have just a steel blade, not black, or green, or beige. I carry a Zebra 701, have had for years. Tried a magnetic key ring, a few years ago, I was lucky, someone saw me lose my keys, & yelled out to me. I decided not to take that route again. Drive carefully, & smile often!

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

@@Horde334 Shortly after I got the Fenix light, I make a Paracord fob for it. Easy to pull out of my pocket. Pendant would work well also. I keep a little rechargeable Olight on my key ring.

[@Mattcruzedc]

I find myself going back and watching your older videos on this topic. I enjoy these a lot.

[@vickiignaszak5041]

Surprised you didn't go with a civivi mini praxis. They're only $30 and D2 (it's currently the knife that goes everywhere with me). Only downside is the handle might be a little smaller than you like. Could've done that and then gotten a Rambler for your Swiss army knife instead and gotten the best of the rally and classic SD in one tool.

[@rodneyhickman825]

For the price for knives the ruike p801 and qsp penguin are both great choices

[@trapper9998]

got to say i had never heard of the chums wallets before i saw one of your videos, thank you it is such a great choice for me having to wear a suit to have such a light weight wallet i can just toss into my inside jacket pocket

[@michiganman4398]

That Fenix light is awesome. I have one and it is amazing how bright it is. I just wish it was a little larger for a little more battery life.

[@barkingspider2007]

Great Video... I'd ditch the key gismo (they disconnect.. Yikes) and upgrade to the Victorinox Rambler 58mm Swiss Army Knife - 10 Function Small Pocket Knife, Red. You get convenient scissors in addition to the bottle opener and screwdriver. The tweezers are also great. I carried this knife on an AT-through hike in 2007.

[@huskey1266]

So glad you brought these back. I love the EDC build videos.

[@1xayekim]

My general EDC is - Knife, Multitool, Flashlight, Lighter, Wallet, Watch and a pistol and a phone now obviously the phone and pistol aside for 100 I would - if I was sticking to my criteria of my current system I would select - * Average Price On Amazon (I would have to remove the knife actually) Multi Tool/ Knife - Victorinox Huntsman - 33 Flashlight - Sofirn Sp10 Pro -23 Wallet - Chums Surf - 11 Watch - Casio Forester 28 Bic Lighter - 3 98 dollars. I own all these things and use them and rotate them often. My current EDC however is a Esee Izula S35vn, Leatherman Signal, Armytek Wizard Pro C2, Garmin Instinct, Chums Surf Short Wallet and a bic around a total cost of about 600. Oof.

I think the Zebra X-701 is the best budget pen

[@oldstogey7864]

You're being mean to the SAK Rally. It swaps out the scissors of the Classic for a Philips screwdriver. Depends which you'd rather have. They do make a model with both, but that's a bit wider and more expensive.
