To keep this series going you should do a student edc (one that favors pens over knives) photographer edc (favors flashlight) fashion friendly edc ( color coordinated) ans so on so you can redo the same 50 dollar budget then 100 again in the future.

The diffuser is great for camping. Use a carabiner to hang it somewhere inside your tent and it gives you great light to read by. You can also hang it from the zipper pull of a jacket or off of a necklace to light up the immediate area in front of you, which can be really helpful for camping over a cookstove or playing cards at a picnic table.

a good way to keep your budget down is to broaden your search beyond specifically EDC items - often you pay extra for something just because it's 'EDC' and you can find comparable items for less if you look further afield from the usual stuff.. a few alternate suggestions - the stainless steel Parker Vector ballpoint comes in black and looks cooler that the Jotter and there's the stainless Pentel Energel, Seiko's Pulsar range of budget watches are good. There are excellent knives that never seem to make it to the EDC sector, some of the european makes are really good value - there's more to euro knives than just Opinel...

I wear that Timex expedition everyday at work and love it! Fantastic watch for everyday, and I typically wear divers. It’s a Timex, so you know that the movement is solid and will keep great time, mine has been on the same battery for over four years now and still keeps highly accurate time, within milliseconds. Also on the subject of the lume, the watch does have indoglo, which is handy at times and lights up the whole face, but the watch does have lumes on the numerals and hands. The trick with the lumes is that it really has to be completely dark, and the watch needs to “charge” in the sun to produce the lume, and then the lume doesn’t last all that long. But before I get to far into the rabbit hole, I love this watch, dirt cheap and tough as nails! I’ve since replaced the band with an older Timex expedition leather band because I wasn’t too keen on the green nato. My only gripe is that sometimes when I pop gloves off they’ll catch the crown and pull it out, I’ve since worked around it by changing my technique for pulling gloves but whenever I’m swapping pairs several times over in a transport (I work on an ambulance and will occasionally go through several pairs of gloves in a short time) I’ll occasionally still catch it. Other than that, I’m absolutely in love with the watch!

Bryan Stone only thing with the opinel is that while it’s a super good knife, for edc people want things to be convenient, most knives that fit in this category aren’t double hand opened. Second thing about opinel is that in the rain, the handle swells making the blade hard to get out. And the third thing is that the blade isn’t thick, so for some edc tasks it may bend.

I've bought 2 Cutjacks for gifts and have been wanting one for myself, but always end up buying something else. Kinda like the Mora that's been in my Save For Later for years. When I saw the Cutjack drop down from $43 to $29 and available in OD green, well, that's the definition of a split second! The action gets better with use and I finally got the clip adjusted so I don't need two hands to get it out of my pocket anymore. Really enjoy it in my rotation. I think it is just perfect for a $100ish EDC.

Knife: ESEE Zancudo D2 OD Green $33.44 usd Flashlight: Streamlight Microstream USB rechargeable Coyote Brown $28.94 usd Watch: Timex Expedition Chrono Black/Green Canvas $45.30 usd Wallet: Herschel Supply Co. Charlie Leather Wallet $29.80 usd Pen: CRKT Williams Tactical Pen $46.47 usd Key Organizer: KeySmart Rugged Mossy Oak $39.99 usd Because of this you will be able to upgrade items over time but give you a lot of flexibility at the start.

I would add a 7th item... A lighter. I would choose the SS Parker Jotter most days in budget EDC. For me, a reasonable cost is $250 add cash as an 8th item for EDC of $20-$60 means leaving the house every day with $300 worth of tools to function with. A possible list includes a Citizen solar field watch such as BM8180, a D2 knife likely R2D2 but other under $45, Sharpie Ultra Fine, Zippo with Thunderbird insert, Nitecore Tip or MecArmy SNG3 ($30) for USB recharge, etc. For most of life the rule of thumb for many EDC items is not more than 2 hours gross. Depending on ones income determines what is budget... A retail worker ($10-$12) versus a nurse ($30+) is a big difference when looking at 2 hours gross, then consider position that are 6 or 7 figures where $500+ knifes or $5000+ watches are budget for that income. National US average around $25 per hour or $50k per year. Many are above or below this mark. But at average... 2 hours gross is $50. If took 8 items (including cash) assigned at $50 average is $400 budget. For me 10% is cash thus have $360 to spend for 7 items. Someone at $12 per hour would have starting fund of $192 and may choose to keep $20 in cash.

For a pen I just want something that writes smoothly and cleanly with no clumps or skips... I could care less how it looks. So far I've been loving the Uniball Signo 307. Writes very well, is light, and is cheap so if it gets lost, broken, or someone takes it, it's no big loss. In a 9 pack on Amazon they're a little over $1 a pen. I also carry a mechanical drafting pencil with retractable tip (to prevent tip damage). It's a bit more expensive, but still both pen and pencil are around $10. I got the pencil as I hate how Fisher space pens write and the pencil can still write on a waterproof notebook when the paper is wet. If you're not as picky as me concerning how well your pens write, just get a Fisher space pen of some sort. They'll write no matter what, just not very cleanly or smoothly. lol

Is that diffuser glow in the dark it looked green after you turned off the flashlight?

For the next one I highly suggest the “Anker Bolder P2” it’s an awesome rechargeable flashlight that will also take AAA if you are in a pinch and only $16ish

Good job staying under budget. The Parker is a good choice because of the versatility of the ink cartridge. Nice watch if going analog. If going digital then I would say Casio. Lots of good choices for a knife but a multitool tool might have been more practical. Nice key ring! A leather minimal wallet would have been a little classier.

Pentel Graphgear 1000 is probably the best pencil you can get for $10. Retractable tip, aluminum section, great overall. Not sure if they make a pen version though.

I think you should do a 150 dollar EDC and try to include the SOG Terminus XR. I think you would really like it because it seems to me like it is a cheaper more budget friendly griptilian but with some more features

It’s funny, all the way through I was yelling at you to get a Parker Jotter, then you did! They are an excellent low cost pen that will last for years (or even decades, I have one I bought in the early 1990s), and they’ll take a Fisher Space Pen insert.

Would love to see a student EDC Weekly theme! As well as themed variants of this style of video. Also, I have been using the zaktools for a little while now, loving it so far, just wish they could be lightened a little, though I understand they're used extensively in police communities.

I like your video, but for a simple edc I noticed in both of your $50 and $100 videos you looked at more "tactical" or "modern" knives. Did you consider something like an Opinel where for $15 you get a great quality knife that handles every edc task you throw at it. I know a lot of people don't like them, but for me, I don't need a tactical, fast deploying, one hand opening knife with high dollar blade steel. I went through the phase of high end benchmades, spydercos, etc, and I am back to carrying an opinel along with a swiss army knife, either a cadet or pioneer, everyday. I am not out here killing Zombies or Nazis, I just need to open my mail, break down boxes, cut my food, stir my coffee, etc. A nice thing about opinels or saks as well is even though the edge retention isn't the best, it doesn't take much at all to get them back to shaving sharp. Some of the harder steels can take a little more finesse, for me anyway, to get to razor, hair popping sharpness. Just something to consider.
