Best Complete Everyday Carry from Academy Sports | 2024 EDC Update

[@sosei9386]

I'd like to see a variation of a budget build. Instead of having a total budget of X amount and having to buy around that, I'd like to see budget challenges where you're limited to a max amount PER ITEM of your edc. Like only being able to spend $35 on a knife, $35 on a pen, $35 a wallet, etc.

[@DavidMartinez-tw3cl]

What about walmart? They have some cool looking knives, Buck knives, and even a powerpint, erasable pens. Wallets and watches could use some tlc at mine but who knows.

[@tylerharden9847]

I think Menards would surprise you. Also would be a new store!

[@chipcurrin]

B.I.D. needs to up that discount to like 15 or 20 percent.

[@Exane22]

I have the 726 Spitfire and really enjoy it for the price, not fancy but very solid. The 722 has been in my cart forever now, lol.

[@doeskerbyrock]

Started carrying the Buck 722 about a month ago, and I love it. It did take me a little bit to get used to it, last few knives have been flippers or assisted, but I wouldn't trade this one in for any of them. Super slim and great for the pocket.

[@gypo_gault]

As a surveyor, having a stylus is a must when it rains. I change the tablet I use into stylus only mode and it works flawlessly in wet conditions.

[@bettersteps]

A Work Sharp is the ONLY sharpener I will ever use. I've tried many sharpeners and they didn't do it for me. But, the Work Sharp changed everything. Fantastic product.

[@RRavencraft]

Love Chums bags, they have lasted for many years, no fail, not junk. I have one as a wallet for like 8 years now. I use them to put my gear in. Nightcore NU 25 headlamp new and old models with shock cord fit perfect. Back up batteries, cords for my Olites fit perfect plus other small cords, memory cards, mini back up drives, etc. I made a sewing/repair kit in one, a fire kit and small medication/medical kits in them. I like the Gerber Dime has come in handy. Prefer Leatherman though.

[@NovaIsTheBot]

I didn't even know zippo had butane inserts 🙃 I stopped carrying mine because I didn't like having to refill the other one with how quickly it would run out even if I didn't use it.

[@alessandro519]

I don’t know if you have Decathlon in the USA but it would be interesting to see an EDC from them

[@knifelore1647]

Love seeing you still rocking it! On one of your videos you were " of the cuff" complaining about how you had so much stuff, things you hadn't gotten too, things you forgot you had, Brother you are at the same time at the top of your game! Wish you and yours all the best!

[@jamesstephenson8539]

I also carry a Zippo lighter. My is OD green as is the rest of my edc gear. I carry spare flints under the filling and a spare wick inside the top. I carry it in a small pouch I found at Wal-Mart to keep from wearing the green coating of f the lighter itself.

[@1Geronimodeleon]

I walk by numerous open knife packages on my walks to/from one of the big box retailers you mentioned. I regret that I rarely cruise the aisle where we stock them because the selection is so thin. Would that the quality of people were better so we could ignore the shrink generated by the cursed...

[@royaltybuiltco]

I was just there the other day! Picked up a couple of things

[@niklaswilson2481]

Do a Harbor Freight EDC

[@LandoniousRex077]

Yes!!

[@annmatthews68]

I got a Slide-winder because you liked it, and it came in orange. I have trouble with the blade “collapsing” sometimes.

[@johnricks7277]

One of my favorite Buck knives. I used one in S30V for work for a long time until i lost it. I will definitely be buying another one soon.

[@dbbeck90]

“The chum wallet is really good for the money.” …pun intended?

[@chadfallentine5540]

I have the Nebo Einstein 600+. It’s a great light, but you have to be careful if you pocket carry them. Somehow I turned it on in my pocket and that thing gets hot! It burnt the piss out of me! 😂 so be careful

[@outdoorelement]

I have a few of the hero clips. It always surprises me how useful they are. And I can see how this magnetic 90 deg light can come in handy (I just changed an alternator in my wife’s Honda Pilot and dropped a tool - twice. In my opinion an alternator has no business being mounted below the engine block. I ended up attaching a carabiner to a light and hanging for some proper lumens down below and I did find my wrench and socket 😂.) Any luck going to an Ace Hardware to build an EDC kit?

[@chrisoneill325]

Its a niche use, but my mom does use a stylus sometimes. If I had kids, she would be grandma age... 🤣 She's got Raynaud's, where her fingers lose circulation and feeling. Sometimes her phone screen wont recognize her fingers touching the screen, so she uses a stylus.

[@justinmackay8156]

Don't know if it's the lack of sleep with a newborn in my lap, but the Bloopers at the end has me dying 🤣☠️🤣

[@nathanriv1883]

once you have the light on for a while it will only take one push of the button

[@BestDamnEDC]

Yeah, I've had UIs like that before. But I just prefer something that has an off click or hold regardless of time used

[@josephlopes4477]

You got to do Ace hardware at one of my local aces they sell benchmade

[@ghostyfellla]

ik not the right place for this comment but I'd love to see a review on (or just it being in a video) the newest gerber armbar trade/scout :)

[@luckyedc]

Ace Hardware might be a cool place to check out. Or local thrift stores and pawn shops.

[@-hawtzauce-1108]

I use those slide razors for gifts along with i3t's😅

[@jcharles-12]

hate to say it but stopped buying nebo awhile back, buck knife and zippo look good tho

[@bendova_smith]

That pro-tech looks insane and worth going all out for, but I know the price is probably gonna be more than my rent 😬😂

[@20alroco]

How can you do an EDC video at Academy Sports, and not include a pistol?

[@ulyssesmelendres504]

Gerber Dime….Review?

[@jeremynedrow7003]

That Protech is beautiful and im jealous 😂.

[@guy9146]

I thought cuz had a titanium inhaler for a second.

[@Ayychh]

I really want to start carrying a Zippo now 😂

[@1234567890sunshine]

I read that some Walmarts now carry benchmade

[@phee303]

capacitive touch screen means it's a modern touch-screen that nearly every phone uses today, back in the day they used "resistive touch" screens and you didn't need a special stylus for it to work. so stupid to hear "that's android sh*t" when Apple was the one that made capacitive touch popular and ignited the wave of smart phones. resistive touch screens are still pretty popular today in industrial use because you can use those without taking off your gloves and are less prone to registering moisture as touches.

[@Figge070]

I am glad I live by a academy that sells benchmades.

[@vancemah8407]

Been a while! Lets GO!

[@dalexeiblues]

What’s funny is that « Gerber » means « To puke » in French haha. Anyway this is a great brand but this is pretty funny imo

[@ryanallen2132]

Do a pawn shop edc challenge

[@MattGuardiola]

This would be hilarious

[@4mp3d]

Stylus can be legit if you're wearing gloves.

[@Watercarrier]

Wow, what happened? I really really liked your content. I was always aware you re sponsored by someone. But I always was convinced you were honest. Since this. Sorry. Really sorry.

[@Zeeangelofdeath]

I like this

[@omarmtz565]

The pen is for a job site the stylists is for ppl with gloves and need to use the tablet

[@wesb123]

😎

[@timjk32]

u should give that edc kit away to me i dont have crap lol

[@itstimetoski1950]

28th

[@LaResistenciaEDC]

Lets spend time to watch a bunch of junk who just cost 10 dollars 😂 nah.

[@yellowflag4803]

There are a lot of unnessicaries.

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Dang Tyler you use an android. Need to get you over to the blue bubble gang.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Nah, I'm good. I used an iPhone for years. Now I have blue bubbles and an Android. Best of both worlds

[@elijahcarey9793]

Loving the video but this one sucked😂

[@KnivesByNuge]

The Spitfire and Spitfire Mini have been my go to recommendation for Boy Scout troops for a long time. Solid knives and it doesn’t hurt when they lose them 😅

[@Spacedog_42]

I’ve had a Chums wallet for over a year now and I love it. I used to carry a leather card wallet, but I switched to the chums to carry cash, an AirTag, and all my cards.

[@linuxpenguin823]

I have the Chums wallet too. Best wallet/EDC pouch I've ever had! ID/cards on the window side, and a complete EDC set on the other side- Bic mini, Boruit V3 flashlight, Leatherman Squirt, victorinox nail clippers, pin, and O'keeffe's lip balm.

[@Bethany415]

Have you tried a dollar store EDC? That might be an interesting challenge. Not sure it's even possible to find all the categories you want there.

[@LandoniousRex077]

Yes!! Lol

[@Dlutheran]

It would be awful

[@vincentferreira1135]

It’s not. This is an awful idea.

[@LandoniousRex077]

@@vincentferreira1135 you are an awful idea.

[@Dlutheran]

@@vincentferreira1135 the EDC would consist of a kitchen knife or crappy box cutter, a dim flashlight, a off brand Bic lighter probably no wallet or if they have one a bad designed one and maybe some sort of multi bit screwdriver or cheap pliers for a tool. They might have some multi function pen like in the video but even cheaper but idk.

[@reaperjoe6701]

I wanna see what you can find at your local pawn shops for a full edc gear setup. One man's trash is another man's treasure

[@The4cp]

I love the spitfire. Id really like to see a 3.75 inch version.

[@hoppareallife9297]

Buck knife great products

[@bobster_lobster6479]

do a bucees

[@grantbrown9920]

Do tsc

[@xlncoutdoors]

I really think true utility makes decent products. They have gotten better with there larger products like knifes or lighters but I have 2 of their knifes and multitool.

[@mistermcclain8178]

I have the Nebo mini Larry 500 it was $25 I recommend it over the Franklin. It has a side work light instead of the 90.. the clip is higher up and you can single click in any mode after 8 seconds to turn off. A lot smaller. And same building quality..

[@joshuawillits9807]

I don’t know if y’all have one in Charlotte but you should do a Sportsmans warehouse EDC. We have one in Columbia SC and I feel like the EDC selection is there but also a bit lacking so I’d enjoy seeing what you choose. (they are typically overpriced, but they will price match a local brick and mortar)

[@onebrightgator]

Chums wallet is great. I use it travelling when the only actual key I need is my car key and it slips right in that outside pocket. I did switch out the key ring for a small carabiner and that works better for my needs. The hero clip is overpriced by double. The slidewinder is a great concept but seems to suffer from poor execution. The blade issues are widely known, the button system is too big and clunky and the build quality isn't there. I'd pay double for one without the blade issues and higher build quality. The idea of using it as a key dangler is intriguing but I can't get over the over issues. A Screwpop with a Gerber mullet is a better solution for this need.

[@knifehedon.6561]

Check new sick knife design SIDEWINDER KNIFE , amazing !!!

[@jamesstephenson8539]

You should check out the Buck 110 auto. It comes in two sizes, is two toned in Grey and nickel and sweet.

[@dairothernandez9027]

Do it in Sportsman’s warehouse

[@nathanwatkins7839]

Don't have an academy sports store out here in the west. Is there Sportsman warehouse out there?

[@the_gear_shak]

Best edc available at GABC

[@jesussalazar9071]

Chums wallet is cool and all but I wish they had a better zipper

[@nixnook592]

Tractor supply has cold steel now.

[@sabinaolsson8455]

Love the Spitfires

[@georgelewis9127]

SportsmansWarehouse

[@shreddy3447]

I need an EDC camper

[@JPBTheLegend]

Best thing I saw in that video was the carry commission knife. 😅

[@anthonyschutz7201]

I can confirm a Gerber dime is incredible. The powerpint is also great but for $25 the dime is incredible. And with the gerber warranty if it ever breaks you can get a free replacement. I've already had to do this when the spring for my scizzors broke. Quick and easy. I don't love most of gerbers stuff but the dime is great. Also id love to see more of these. My edc is budget based. Even though i do have nicer knives and stuff, i like carrying cheap carries. One of my favorite carries is only about $150 and that's if you carry the extra stuff that i didn't usually carry, mostly a pen and lighter. Cjrb hectare, zebra pen, gerber dime, knockoff ridge wallet (actually way better than you'd think) rovyvon a1, timex expedition scout. Civivi mini praxis is also good if you want even cheaper. I own better stuff, but for most days there's no reason to carry anything Else. And if you want a box cutter knife i recommend I found on Amazon for $10. Is a little different than the one shown in this video. I also like the Walmart hart box mini cutters

[@NutSAK955]

Everything everything everything must be ultem. If not ultem, it must at least be titanium. I never leave my house without my titanium-mail underwear. 🤓

[@DesignNerd86]

I have one of those multitool pens and use the stylus when working on printer/scanners to keep from fat fingering the packed way too tight display.

[@MattPasciuto]

So happy to finally see the Spitfire in a video! That pocket clip is terrible, but the silver lining is that it will take Benchmade clips

[@bradley7]

Funny you just posted this video and I just went to Academy for the first time in my city that just opened recently

[@VRK3ynote]

I would like to see a revamped Lowe’s edition. They have been rotating things around lately.

[@Kilt_Camera_and_Carry]

Hero Clip is AWESOME! ... I have one on my pack and I recommend it to my friends

[@edinburgh1871]

I can vouch for the PowerPoint.....love that tool!!!

[@chriss3886]

Give it a shot at your best pawn shop!

[@wackamatty]

the bloopers got me lmaooo

[@TalkingDonkey2]

🔥🔥🔥

[@juanjuarez9360]

But does it come in micarta 🤔
