Best $50 Budget Everyday Carry on Amazon

[@BestDamnEDC]

There's still a long way to go! If you want me to carry this as my own EDC (for a week or longer) hit that like button and get it to over 2,000!

[@jgj4430]

No need to carry, but good suggestions. I might post on the website soon, but waiting for a specific piece of EDC to arrive.

[@jgj4430]

I was able to get a decent bifold from Alpine Swiss for around $10

[@RedwolfEDC]

I want to see you EDC a LAPG knife, make “soldiercfm” proud.

[@garrettsmith8286]

Well you're at about 3k now. My concern is that for something you're actually carrying everyday how long could a $25 kit really last?

[@mr1983]

Hey buddy what's the name of the Notes app you used in this video? Its really bugging me!!! Please reply! :-)

[@Murphy21uk]

Great video! Would you do a $100 one? just curious on double the budget, what choices you would make differently.

[@OliverHellenbach]

+1 on this request.

[@kevinsmith9142]

I agree, $100 budget please.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Sure thing. Let's just make this video do well first so I can recoup my losses. 😂

[@gregpfeifle7318]

Yes please

[@renorunner12]

No judgment if you reuse the same wallet, keychain, and/or watch. It would be hard to do much better than the Casio without veering into $30 Timex Weekender territory. I suspect knives and flashlights drive most of your views anyway. What? I'm not projecting - YOU'RE projecting! 😂

[@Lumpy_Peter]

I would skip the wallet (if I have to squeeze my EDC into 50$ I probably have no money anyway) and flashlight (got my phone), grab any pen lying around the house or job and get: Opinel No. 06 Carbone - 14$ - love that knife and have been edcing it exclusively for 3 years straight. Casio F91W - 10$ - great pick Victorinox Manager (if I can get it - currently 26,50$) or Signature (22$), if I cannot.

[@WaywardPondering]

Peter M. I agree, I’d use a paper binder or rubber band if I didn’t have a wallet. Also, I love the Victorinox manager because it fits in the coin pocket of my pants. If one just scrounges and has imagination you can MacGyver an EDC cheap.

[@Smokey_A]

That Casio F91W is a classic and pretty highly regarded in the watch world for it's history.

[@amonite]

True dat, I love Casio as a brand and I know all their watches are reliable

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

one of the best watches on the planet, the straps always break before the watch. I love having something so cheap on my wrist, I couldn't care less if I lost it I would just order another :)

[@thegreatoutdoors1075]

I like ur last name lol

[@BosunM8James]

Very very true! Amongst most watch enthusiasts the F-91W is a classic time piece that just about all watch collectors have in their collection. Myself being in the maritime industry I work in some of the most harshest environments that can test any gear. I see that exact Casio and similar ones like it for just a few dollars more on the wrist of most of my brothers of the sea out here.

[@TheeYellowDart]

@No you I think it's important to note that not everyone is a watch enthusiast. I actually thought it was refreshing that he didn't immediately search an "F91W", however he did recognize a generic digital Casio. Most people that buy a watch for practical time keeping purposes (not collecting or as a hobby) are going to be searching Amazon in much the same way. It's actually telling that he instinctively chose a venerable F91W over a garbage fashion watch (digital or not).

[@hayden3150]

Omg I love this channel! I love your vibe that you send out!!!

[@d.vargasm]

Hell yeah I loved this. I would like to see a Walmart EDC with same price point

[@bigcountry28056]

I agree

[@danielhill9231]

Funny enough, I have a Casio f91w that I wear on an 18mm grey and black (Bond) nato that I love and wear often. It's my go to vacation watch because it's reliable, quick to read and bullet proof.

[@zptwin2]

The f301 pens are awesome. If you work in healthcare or at a place where others use your own pen I would reccomend getting some of them. They are cheap and wont matter if you lose them. I used them for over 2 years till I got my tactile turn.

[@sheriff7172]

if you got a black wallet you could have had a black out theme...

[@HammerBlow500]

That’s the theme I’m going for. I was actually planning to get this exact Kershaw Shuffle. Nice PFP btw

[@Jacober1234]

My EDC is a very cheap wallet for like 3-4 dollars, the cheapest g-shock, a leatherman wave+, and a micro Tavor since I'm in the Israeli army and I have to have it on me at almost all times.

[@F8leStriker]

I love that casio watch. The thing will never break.

[@einoras7251]

I found you recently and i watched all edc weekly videos and i love them. I might submit next month too. Keep up the amazing work! Good luck and have an amazing day or night!

[@BestDamnEDC]

Welcome! Thanks for sticking around. 🤘

[@SandTguy]

This video is definitely one of my favorite. Of videos like this on good budget EDC gear.

[@Trever-]

Awesome video concept, awesome execution. I'd love to see themed EDC builds around different budgets, or even if you took one item (brass fisher pen, Sabinza, G-Shock) and built a matching EDC entourage around a particular item. 👌 You could make an entire playlist around different budgets. "Best $50 Amazon EDC", "Best $100 Amazon EDC", etc. Or even go to different stores (Walmart, etc) and try to build a budget EDC that both looks good and works.

[@codycoyote589]

This is similar to how my first edc set is starting to come together. I got the same travelambo wallet but in carbon fiber, and I went with the Casio 5600E G-shock that I can’t wait for to come in the mail, And a very small tactical style Gerber pocket knife I’ve had just laying around for awhile

[@Dexxx123]

Carry this for a week, and increase the next EDC Budget video by increments of $25.00 please! Continue till $100-$150 (Or a price point you think is a reasonable amount for an average guy to spend in your opinion). I'm super curious on what you would pick for those different sort of options and how they work out for each week!

[@sayeednmb]

Great budget EDC! I have that knife, pen, and light. All are solid choices! You should do a budget EDC from a hardware store that includes a multi tool. You should definitely carry it for a week!

[@nigelgrant1415]

Have a Travelambo, and a blackout Zebra actually. Need to add a light, local laws don't like us carrying knives.🇯🇲

[@devongriggs341]

Thanks dude! I’m a service writer for a dealership and this is everything I need at work but I spent a little more probably $100

[@FidelCashflow_YT]

I can't co sign on the Shuffle. The fact is the finger choil on the blade has no real way of stopping your finger from sliding up onto the edge. As for what I consider "EDC" I don't consider a wallet or keys as "EDC". I consider extra items you carry with you as "EDC". Wallet and keys are a given. For me, EDC comes down to, pen, watch, prybar, knife, multitool, flashlight. Those being the most useful items the majority of the time. Other people surely feel differently...

[@johngirratono650]

I love those wallets. They last about 2 years before needing to trade out. I purchased 5 just in case the disc them or something.

[@oldschooltakingyaback]

After writing with Zebra pens in high school and college, I found that the grip is terrible when your hand is just a bit clammy. Haven't been able to find a pen better than that one as far as fine point-ness and no smearing.

[@bothompson4911]

[@johnturner4086]

The Casio F-91W is legendary, it's functional quality is commonly overlooked. Many videos to back that up. I have one as my EDC for years but the wristband was too small so I swappped it for another.

Yes I always carry around a knife with me, ya know London Streets

[@Klatchan]

I love this kind of video, thanks! I sort of disagree that a flashlight is necessary for everyone's EDC. I rarely have a need for a light, and when I do, my smartphone's flashlight function is more than enough. I'd argue that for this kind of person, a pair of earbuds/IEMs might be more useful. For around the same price as your light, you could pick up a pair of VE Monk Plus (seriously the best earbuds I've ever used,) or Panasonic ErgoFits. Also, if someone only has lighter uses for a knife, one of those cheap utility knives might work. I recently picked up a Slidewinder on your recommendation, and I'm loving it so far.

I'd skip the flashlight and watch, honestly. Phone replaces both those items relatively well. I bought a Craftsman 10 in 1 full sized multi tool with LED lights which works well for what it costs ($18.00). Pen & Pencil: F-701 and M-701, got them on sale for verrry cheap. Keys: Find a wallet that can store them or get a simple carabiner.

[@emochickluvzblk]

Well yeah but for me it is such an inconvenience to pull my phone out of my pocket just to check the time.

[@HellFire107]

@@emochickluvzblk It's certainly inconvenient - But with a $50 budget, you would need to pick and choose what's most essential to you. Personally, even two years later, I'd still go with a small multitool, pen, pencil & wallet if I had only $50 figuring I could always add on to it later. My carry now costs over $200 total (retail) and includes a Fossil Hybrid watch, a Fenix flashlight, a Leatherman Free T2, the Zebra M-701 & F-701 pen/pencil, and a cheap wallet :)

[@docink6175]

nope dad wears an ancient timex or carries a pocket watch, Id skip the watch and get a small multitool.tyvm btw I searched amazon and added one to my cart...lol... I prefer a carabiner to an sbiner, a real load rated one can do double or triple duty for under 50cents or you can get the lighweight ones 2/1.00. I kind of like the light except for the multilevels, thats not something I need in my pocket carry flashlight . I like decent inexpensive knives and that kershaw is a looker..all in all I'll give a double thumbs up

[@ryemabrahamson]

With every day pens, you definitely want to go something sturdy that's going to hold up, write on everything, and/or easily replaceable. If you want something long lasting, and capable of writing on anything, I would recommend a fountain pen with india ink. If you maintain it, and use it for everything, you won't have a clogging issue. My personal favorite EDC are Muji Gel pens. They don't skip, they're cheap, and they're very reliable. They're also thin enough to fit into normal pen loops. My partner who is left handed likes them. He also really likes Uniball Signos and Energels because they dry quick enough and don't skip when his hand is smearing the page. They're also comforable.

[@methos-ey9nf]

I find the acronym of WHIPKIT fascinating. From my minimalist perspective there's a few things that become redundant when talking about my average day. My phone tells the date and time just fine, so that takes care of horology. My phone has a flashlight function, so in a pinch that takes care of illumination. My phone can also take pictures, record audio/video and I can type out notes, so no need for an instrument of lighting. Lastly are tools - I have tools at work, I have tools at home, and I keep a multi-tool among a number of other items in my car, so I don't feel much need to carry a tool on my person. This brings me down to just Wallet, Keys and Phone.

[@slick_slicers]

Honestly Gerber is eh but overall if you're okay with coughing up $20, Smith and Wesson is the way to go. Notebooks & pens wise I'll just make a water resistant book out of some plastics,cardboard and index cards (or just index cards in a sandwich bag) with some disposable bic pens
