Best Complete Everyday Carry from Bass Pro Shops | EDC 2021

[@BestDamnEDC]

Whoops -- I was a little quick on the draw and published the video a little too fast. So you'll have to wait for 4K. 🤡

[@2873lonewolf]

The slip with the Tengu is sickening to see. Thread isn't straight, loopy unfinished in like 3 spots and just plain horrible. The watch, not surprised, for 20 bucks. I think the biggest "win" is the wallet, not that its stellar. Its basic and does do the job it was intended, minus the gimmicky edc tools. I do have one question though, that SOG scissor multi, are they stout enough? I've eyeballed them for awhile and had considered buying one for any heavier scissor work I may have, that my Charge TTI+ or SAK can't handle.

[@TheKenPryor]

Random question… what is the band you have on the Instinct? I just upgraded to the solar after using the regular one for 2 years. Thinking about trying alternate bands.

[@DFW_AV8R]

Next time you’re at an auto parts store do an EDC there. Bet it’ll be 75% Nite Iez .

[@kylemathes3827]

Can you do a review on the crkt bona fide

[@csskates]

Can we get a video where you just open beers continuously with every EDC tool you have with a cap lifter?

[@harrkev]

Only if he proceeds to drink them.

[@jefferybradford5936]

I don’t know if KZbin would let him make a video that long lmao. Every EDC seems to bottle openers for some reason

[@neglekt_official]

That would be Kool😁

[@calebwooldridge242]

weird how bottle openers are even an addition or selling point, any drinker worth their salt will be able to open a beer with nearly anything. Bic lighters are the easiest and cheapest bottle opener "multi-tools" but I've literally opened bottles with a rock I found on the ground or a stick, let alone weird "bottle-openers" like a water bottle, sunscreen, or folded piece of paper.

[@neglekt_official]

@@calebwooldridge242 aha, nice. People are just bored bro.

[@jonathanwatson268]

Yo that streamlight is ten-tap programmable. That and the tempered glass lens is why I like the protac line. It should have 3 programs: high/strobe/low, high only, and low/high or low/med/high.

[@VisionWords]

Nice to see the Power Pint. I've had one in my rotation for a while. It packs a lot of capability and is small enough to fit in my fifth pocket.

[@jmsmith1767]

I have probably 15 multi tools and my #1 is the Leatherman Skelatool CF w/ a damascus blade, BUT I use my two Leatherman Juices literally almost every day. I love the midsize.

[@desertratedc9596]

I love my juice s2 but it saddens me that leatherman have dropped the juice line of MTs. All well, I guess I'll run my first gen s2 until it dies

[@TACLife]

Bought the power pint on a whim a year or more ago. Probably 2 yrs ago. Saw it at a gun shop and the price was right. Really love the little fella! Glad someone has paid it some attention. I'm a big leatherman guy but the plier action is so slick. Thanks Taylor!

[@jamesR1990]

That multi tool is a great pick-up. I EDC a SOG Power Access, Power Assist and I absolutely love it. SOG makes some fantastic multi-tools

[@woodlandreconjoshdrakes5509]

I love the power assist. When closed doubles as bit driver.

[@LookitsBrad24]

Can we get a best budget watches sometime in the future?

[@calebwooldridge242]

I think you meant to say "when can we get a Casio video" lol

[@david1346]

Well seikos, spinnakers and orients could also be considered budget

[@blastblast8301]

Casio, Timex, and Citizen have this market pretty well covered.

[@williampaskewitz5383]

Inb4 rolex haha

[@jsonhu7646]

I'm surprised you didn't point out the knife did not have a lanyard hole. The knife just seems a bit out of place as a Benchmade for some reason.

[@mewithknives3481]

On that streamlight you can reprogram it to start on low and double tap to high. Just tap the switch 9x and on the 10th hold the switch down and it should switch to low to high mode. 150 for the exclusive grip?! Whoa! It was 105 6 months ago.

[@geared4war]

Just want to say hi from aus, found your channel in my suggested and now I know what EDC is and how important it is to me. Newly subbed>thanks dude!

[@harrkev]

If the best option is something that you already have, just pull the old one out and note the price new.

[@BestDamnEDC]

That would be the general idea and basically what I did for the Academy video. But in instances like that, I don’t mind giving people a different take on a different piece of gear that’s also new to me.

[@one_fun_guy_podcast]

I think you should add sunglasses to the EDC. I wear mine every day.

[@jefferybradford5936]

Me as well. I have 4 pair that I rotate through. My Oakley Mercenary’s are my favorite of the ones I have

[@one_fun_guy_podcast]

@@jefferybradford5936 I have several pairs as well for different situations my new pair is Spy Helm with Happy Lens and I’m looking at PitVipers for fun !

[@adamkreuz9068]

I'd like to see that but add in prescription sunglasses. It's hard finding decent ones

[@duckduckglowie9619]

Super sick video man I'm a newbie to ur channel an love this video man. I would be so happy with any of this stuff $hit, or anything in your collection period! Keep up the great work man!!

[@throneborn]

I carry a tengu flipper for when I anticipate my most casual encounters, and don't think I'll even need a knife. I bought one when they first came out, and kept it in the slip and barely carried it lol. I've found now that I've had zero issues with it, carry it somewhat regularly, and actually enjoy using it when I have to.

[@tylerbuhite5432]

the streamlights can be programmed to whatever functions youd like and in what order !

[@Vespux]

Never thought I'd see a Gus and Eddy clip on Best Damn EDC!

[@PandaCristos]

man that olive OS melts my heart

[@drewadams7305]

I got a powerpoint recently and the action is so smooth I can do some bali-style flips with it

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

Pretty sure the pens are over in the little what not area/arcade gun range thing at the registers going into the mall itself.

[@ColdComrade]

It’s worth it to wait and get your stuff online. I learned to not settle for what’s available in my local stores

[@westonknight7474]

I love your videos Taylor, you do first class work in these videos my brother. If you're talking about the point where the two edges meet on the tanto blade, I think that area is called the "yokote" (if you're thinking about the same area that I am). Keep up the fantastic job you've been doing sir, I really love your through videos. May you and your new family be very-very well sir, take care.

[@3211Co]

The moment you got rid of the $20 watch...Everything just made sense... Great Vid!

[@DougZeiser]

Dang, I didn't know vampires went for the hands. I hope you're doing alright.

[@pissedofftexan1205]

I had a rovyvon light too just like that in black and it was great until it decided to stop working

[@miguelmontano921]

Kudos for the white monster, I love that thing

[@croakthedj]

The orange and grey is an exclusive bugout. I bought it with a giftcard. Not bad.

[@frazerhughes5891]

I joined the discord recently, everyone is rly nice, I’m just getting into edc and people are very welcoming and have good suggestions.

[@cworkman92]

It’s crazy to think we shop at the same REI and Bass Pro 😂 gotta love NC

[@LetsFigureThisOut]

I bought a Garmin Instinct watch and I beat the tar out of it. A full charge will last 3 weeks. Highly Recommend It!

[@hvskyline1368]

You should do a best overall EDC from multiple stores I think that would be cool show us what we can get without shopping online

[@assistivetek]

When will you be releasing your MiniChamp?

[@thewatchfemme4051]

I agree with Taylor on the watch. Also, investigate the Edifice line and find something really awesome that fits your style for not that much more.

[@jefferybradford5936]

I’ve been looking at Rotary watches. They have great reviews and decent prices. Their Aquaspeed line looks amazing

[@thewatchfemme4051]

@@jefferybradford5936 I like Rotary too. Very cool brand from England, my dad has one and it’s quite sharp.

[@carsonglaze4216]

My guy chucked that flashlight at Taylor lol

[@everydaycelt]

That powerpint is a sweet lil mini multi-tool. Eyed one at REI a couple years ago, going to have to pick on up now 😅. Also...another lil green topo SAK sighting 👀

[@nathanwatkins7839]

I love my SOG power pint. Bought another later. What is your thoughts on Olight' O-pen glow? I am curious of getting one for my camping backpack.

[@toxicpaintball03]

So funny I was just at that same location realized y’all are in Concord from the background lol

[@ryanlavallee6342]

I have so many leathermans and just got the powerpint recently and I grab for it the most. Nothing has the size with good sized pliers and tool set with pocket clip.

[@jakemurphy6116]

I LOVE, the wallet I use it everyday. I personally cut off then sanded smooth that tab at the front so I just push my card out through the bottle opener cut out and pull it out it's very easy and fast. I noticed I had to bend the wallet up or take out all my cards to get the the bottom one with that tab there, this way I sort of fan them out and get what I need. I never use the tools on it I keep tools in my truck but wallet is great. Only complaint is it doesn't carry alot of cash, which is no biggie for me hardly ever carry cash.

[@JohnB551]

Use the orange peeler on your mini champ to open those pesky plastic packages. Makes it so easy!

[@gregserna963]

I like my Powerpint a lot, but carry the Surge w/ratchet extension & bits!! It fits me really well being the Big Bear 🐻 I am. I carry a Warrior 2 Olight, Trayvax wallet, and you don't want to see my Raider lanyard full of a lot of Crap that's impossible to lose!!!

[@rocketraccoon1976]

Think I saw either a pen or a pencil (with small waterproof notebook) in the camping gear & accessories section.

[@Cousin_Gregg]

New subscriber here... you ever going to add sunglasses and chapstick to these videos?

[@fredf9562]

Hey how about trying Tractors Supply to purchase an EDC

[@Sarge0311]

511 money clip and 511 card holder I also have a snap link on my go bag that I carry with me everywhere. I also carry on me EDC a leather man wave and a leather man micro. I have a fixed blade in my go bag

[@tobyhall1167]

You do know that the black MicroStream usb has low mode first and high second. The tan version has high first and low second.

[@legoking5499]

Like you said, I would have gotten a different knife strictly because that one does not have a pocket clip. If it did it would be a solid choice as it looks sick as hell. Since I can't see all the options you had, based on their website I likely would have gotten a Spyderco Para 2 or 3 (whatever size you like. I have a 2). The Bailout is a solid choice as well. I dont own a bug out yet so that would have been my #1 choice but you own several so I left it out. In Order, in your shoes I would have gone 1) Para 2/ 3 2) Benchmade Bailout 3) Benchmade Freek. In the end, at place like this with so many good options for knives, it comes down to which of the great options catches your eye.

[@calebwooldridge242]

Think he didn't have the option to get any Spydies (since he said the in-store shop was limited VS online). That Benchmade looks cool but is terribly designed as he pointed out. I'm not sure why the lack of clip is such a big deal cuz I thought he used a hitch and timber pocket organizer or something.

[@boharrison2393]

Taylor, have you ever checked out any Twosun knives ? If so, what do you think about their quality/price ?

[@juntaz4]

I have been lusting after the power pint for agessssss. I have trouble justifying the price with my particular budget though.

[@MichaelMoore-zt9jo]

Been waiting for this!!

[@fredf9562]

Wow. I thought BPS would provide a much better EDC than that. Perhaps Grainger’s wouldn’t be such a good idea. Thanks for your work!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gregrudzinski]

You might find the package opener on the Gerber Dime very effective for the current pilfer proof type plastic sealed containers.

[@erickang8894]

Do you still carry the Sog PowerPint Also you should 3d print thumb tabs for it.

[@THINKFAST73]

What kind of band do you have on your Garmin watch?

[@fera2581]

Taylor, have you seen Sanrenmu's knives? What do you think of them for a budget knife?

[@chrisclark5135]

Good stuff, Taylor! Thanks for sharing!

[@glassjar7814]

I go to bass pro all the time and had no idea they price matched!

[@danielnilson6115]

great video

[@Tony-sy7ed]

Should have got the streamlight 1L-AA. Not much bigger, higher lumen rating, and can run on a single cr123 OR 1 aa. It will also run on 1 aaa but you need to get a little crafty with a sleeve for the aaa so it doesn’t move around in the tube. Nice haul though oddly entertaining.

[@jefferybradford5936]

What’s your opinion on the Baton 3 as a budget priced flashlight?? Is it worth the money to get the premier version with the charge case or just get the standard?

[@erikkuchen]

My tengu coming in tomorrow. Knifeworks Benchmade sale. Got it for ~145

[@ladybugtwingirl1243]

I really like this knife but out of my price range

[@tcdahn7]

I want to walk into a Bass Pro or Cabela's and ask them to replace my edc for what I paid for it. I am currently carrying a thick leather trifold wallet, a cheap, but reliable waterproof Casio watch, a keychain that has one medium carabiner with 4 smaller carabiners attached to a triple twist 1040 steel keyring. On the keyring I have a little victorinox, my keys, and a mini mag lite. I generally carry a spyderco lightweight in the classic s35vn. I carry pens in a pocket protector branded by Zebra. I only carry G2 .07mm Pilot pens in Blue, Black, Red and Green. My pencils, grease, carpenter, and number 2, are vintage but are Dixon Ticonderoga Made in the USA. Obviously' they couldn't do a one to one replacement, but it would be interesting. If you're wondering about my gun, I don't carry one. I moved to a place that the only fear for my life is when I drive. Thankfully I have seatbelts and airbags.

[@miguelmontano921]

The guy in the back said "hello there!" And nobody replied "General Kenobi" 😪

[@menace1tb]

The bugout knife you showed really fast you said was the 535-5. Is this correct or is it the 535-3? I really liked that knife and couldn't find a -3 while looking it up.

[@menace1tb]

17:00 mark in the video

[@NJP1234567890]

Thanks for the Gus Johnson reference 🫠

[@Rickky007]

That watch looks more like a seiko dive match .

[@MrASM78]

You sure that Tenacious wasn’t an upgraded version? I’ve seen them there for 80 but they were made with more premium materials.

[@saxman7131]

I’m carrying a Kershaw launch 14 today.

Looking for a lesther dresser valet/tray, I like the one in this video's cover pic, what brand is it? Do you have a suggestion for a really rugged leather valet? Thanks

[@CarlosRuiz-ep9xc]

The wallet must've been made out of a VW Jetta based on the smell of crayons haha

[@1SikTA]

How about a LAPG or 5.11 store?

[@nathanwatkins7839]

What is LAPDG?

[@1SikTA]

@@nathanwatkins7839 opps meant Lapg not Lapdg. LA Police Gear is a store/website that sells tacticle gear.

[@MattTathamis]

Curious why no YEE YEE stuff? I don’t like their stuff and it’s not my demo but curious to see why you wouldn’t. Is it quality of the product or quality of brand thing

[@LordDRose]

question. why does everyones edc look so unused? is the hobby more or less pocket eye candy or use case. I recently wanted to get into the hobby but I'm just confused. :S

[@Caleb_clement]

I’ve always wondered the same. I torture my shit 😂

[@largewoodenbadger7195]

You’re not confused you’re correct

[@tpowfjb]

If missed my apologies but where did you get the leather EDC tray from?

[@camhester4251]

i wouldn't have bought the knife though i love benchmade i rather have the osborne , i have the 905 mini osborne and love it and i have the bailout which i love also

[@ianbutler1983]

I just got 2 Casio Duros for $11 each at a Walmart. They seem to be shrinking their jewelry departments at some locations.

[@jefferybradford5936]

The Walmart by me only has about 10 Casio watches, 6 G-shock watches and a crap load of beater watches. But now women’s watches are plentiful tho

[@grantwilliams5458]

I had that wallet for a bit, I loved it

[@supfoo3638]

Dude that Tengu is a great knife. That pouch tho ... you got a bad one. Mine was way nicer.

[@LukeMcf]

EDC from Target

[@carrollhill6117]

Looks like Concord Mills

[@ReZySnapzz]

I don't think I've ever been this early

[@averyavenue]

Gotta be honest, although I almost bought the BM Tengu, that was def the worst knife to pick for this vid. No clip, no lanyard hole, difficult cutting position, and a flipper tab that's in a terrrrrrible spot. That flipper tab was enough for me to remove it from My Cart. If BPS carried the BM Proper, that would be a muuuch better 'no clip' option.

[@jamieluvsknives3912]

I bought the tengu and returned it the same day when the knife is open and you grip the scales the angle of the flipper tab stabs your finger it horrible

[@jeeplife4209]

[@flamegent]

At 2:58 in the knife case all the way in the back there is this black and orange bench made knife. I took a screenshot and zoomed in and the label says 490 arcane but when i went to look it up that is not that knife at all. Does anyone know what that bench made is called? I usually am not a big fan of benchmade but i really like the way that one looks and would love to have it in my collection

[@tylerwellman4421]

5.15 tries to open money clip from packaging, can’t do it with big sharp knife, pulls out little scissors, can’t do it, So rips the packaging like a caveman

[@Kilt_Camera_and_Carry]

If I bought that flipper I would install a clip and ditch the slip.

[@cc_likesknives]

I could've made a nicer slip than what came with that Tengu Flipper....such a shame they cheaped out on that part of the knife....

[@rkoenig100]

I loved your video, but I have to say the SOG power pint is pure garbage. I bought one last year and hated it. I ended up going with a Leatherman Rebar for daily carry.
