You have quickly become one of, if not my favourite edc youtubers. You consistently make useful content, you chapter/timestamp the videos, they're well written and well researched, with you providing accurate conversions for the various units. You're straightforward and get to the point quickly, and your sponsors are all relevant to the content. Not to mention that because you're from the UK, all your recommendations are legal for me aswell, due to me also living here. With that said, I appreciate you man! Keep up the good work. 👍

I feel like I have gone full circle here. I started EDC for myself by watching (amonst others, but mainly JG) and found the pro bike tool on Amazon a little over a year ago and added it you my own kit. Now I see Jon has found it also and I feel a joy that this is a nice, positive community which seek to help each other by making content and spreading awareness about how to sort out our everyday struggles. Cheers!

Just one thing on water purification.

I don't need any gear and have condensed my edc down to what I'm happy with. Actually I am trying to liquidate a lot of possessions tbh. That said...the flashlight at the beginning may be a great emergency light to keep in the car and take on trips (hiking etc). The fact that it has the strobe/blinking lights as well as a beam would be great for getting found in the dark. I tend to like lights with replaceable batteries though.

I've got a couple of those Boruit keychain lights, bought a black one, then kicked myself when I saw the GiTD option so EDC that now. It's great that a quick blast of UV charges it up. I've moved out of the city now, but the red / blue strobe options might have come in handy when I was walking the dogs, I sometimes came across people up to no good, so a quick flash of that might have made them think the Police were on their way,....

I relented and it still would not open so my product got sent back. There is no way you reading this have not experienced Amazon shennanigans.
