[@gregrowan843]

I've been carrying the Flare for over 3 years now until i pull the trig to upgrade to something better and have had no real problems with it. easy to sharpen with my work sharp field sharpener, low profile minus the pocket clip. good for taking down cardboard and package plastic

[@Joshadamwyo]

The Gerber (or at least a version of it) was issued to my unit back in the day (2002ish) and it lasted a long time. Was my go-to multi tool for 2 deployments and it never broke or had any issues. But again, that was 20 years ago

[@paulblanscet3411]

It was issued to me as well in 2013-2020. As you said go too tool and it was always rock solid

[@kenny21r]

Mine was issued in 2008. Still use it at least weekly.

[@schotzfired]

Thank you for your sacrifice brother

[@newbietubie]

All this time I thought our supply hooked us up with these because we were deploying as a company (not the usual battalion or brigade). Reading your comments and I realize that it was apparently a standard issue. Lol! Mine got used yesterday and I got it back in 2008.

[@Joshadamwyo]

@@newbietubie you may have cracked the code! We were under the impression that we were getting the hook up as well (again this was back during the initial push back in 2003). Terms like “unlimited budget” were getting tossed around and our supply grabbed those as well as several other things. Crazy world.

[@guitarfreakozzy]

the fastback with the screwdriver attachment also has blade storage,its hidden in the handle between the frame and grip.

[@aaronmcclain1279]

I love my 6-1 . I use mine for a year. And everyday with the screwdriver and all the bits I carry a whole set of metric Allen bits and torx and Phillips and Robby . Please a Craftsman 1/4 ratchet and 2" extension and adapter 1/4 drive and 1/4 to 3/8 socket driver. With a nite)Ize fish pry bar and knipex Cobra XS and pokka pen ,rite rain in blaze orange. All in chums wallet.

[@srtc317]

I miss my Excursion. It's definitely the King of SUV's. I say that with full confidence and I'm actually a Dodge guy at heart..

[@marccoulombe860]

That Gerber I have one and no problems at all. Gerber has a great return and replace policy, love the channel. Thank you.

[@vanguardbreaker4061]

I like this type of video. Cool stuff. How about a supermarket like Walmart or Meijer next.

[@TheGeekiestGuy]

I keep my phone tethered with one of those niteize quick release units and a coiled Kevlar line. It works so well my lady wanted one for her car key. 🤙🏾

[@dakotagoff2221]

Please do Tractor supply next. I worked there for two years before I finished my degree and became a teacher. I really enjoyed my time there but I never looked at our products from the EDC scope.

[@flamingballzonice]

That nite ize magnetic slide lock's pretty interesting, especially how it can be locked. I'd suggest trying out a rest stop. I've been to a few where they'd sell half way decent multitools and lights. Course not all rest stops got stores, might be a challenging find.

[@melissasmith4505]

I am not too familiar with those big truck stops but I wonder what sort of EDC you could find on the side of the highway in a truck stop though…what kind of quality do they have? I know that the Buc-ees near Austin, TX is great and full of wonderful surprises! Love your videos !

[@kermitthepog7063]

I'd love to see you try this at a random pawn shop

[@VisionWords]

I'm not sure if they have any in your area, but Menard's has some interesting options for EDC.

[@johndally7994]

Is there a marine supply near you? If there is it would be interesting to see what they have.

[@ryanallen2132]

Do Menards next time you’re traveling around! They have so much selection.

[@jamesR1990]

Careful with that quick release key magnet. I tried it for a bit and it broke my key fob for my car

[@clayman494]

I have used the quick release carabiner everyday for the past year and it is by far the best key purchase I’ve made. I’m in and out of my work vehicle up to 100 times a day and this has made that little task so much easier for me

[@kirkandsylvia]

I think that a Tractor Supply edc video would be cool!

[@coryames1170]

I own the SOG Flare and I think it's a good little knife. I'm just not a fan of the pocket clip.

[@mikewittie1182]

Gonna need to leave the state, but Buc-ee’s (TX) would be a great place to shop for an EDC setup.

[@josephhaskin8220]

I’d like to see what you come up with from autozone, oreileys, or napa. A lot of auto parts stores have interesting selection… not sure on quality. Just an idea

[@chipcurrin]

Great video! I think these are some of my favorites. I would like to see the Tractor Supply version.

[@michaelk487]

I have no trouble with mine just give it back get another one usually that models very robust

[@blakebello5922]

Love these videos hopefully more like this to come. Keep it up!

[@wattupdawg]

I may have had a lemon, but I've nothing but issues with my SOG Flare.

[@ThePieta3]

Since i live in MALTA dont know what store you have nearby soo. Maybe you should bring budget edc back. Loads of new staff i think

[@larrywilson8914]

You should go to ace hardware next time. Also you should check out the sog multi tools.

[@kennwall9866]

I'd say if there is a Duluth Trading Co. would be a great spot to find edc. I've stated carrying a fastback because of these so thanks and maybe a kickback from some of these companies. Dang!

[@jasonroberts1457]

TSC but if you could find a independent hardware store that would be interesting

[@indianaedcguy]

Awesome video, as usual. Keep up the great content! What next? Whiskey. Knife. Fight.

[@BigIron167]

What is that sunglasses strap contraption???! That was slick

[@seanvalle8471]

“Big 5” would be a cool spot if you have to e in your area

[@karlsteev]

You guys should do another Ace next.

[@redneckrooster1027]

On the topic of the bucket, I have heard many people pronounce cement as see-ment instead of sa-ment and I have no idea why.

[@smorris6891]

What sunglasses holder is on your visor? Magnetic? I like that

[@slosolo2]

Little Hardware in Charlotte would be interesting

[@slimyfeet8696]

I worked for lowes for about 5 years 😂. It all went to shit when marvin became CEO. I’m glad i had the courage to leave and seek better employment.

[@davidgierlinger4689]

I love the Milwaukee Fastback. Cabela's next.

[@kiroer345]

Let go to Ace hardware store with the helpful hardware folks!

[@jspr_edc]

If you're ever in tupelo ms, hit up SCRUGGS... great selection of goodies that'll break your wallet.

[@christopherharpster9330]

I LOVE Home Depot! I always find something I need lol

[@christopherharpster9330]

But, I am kinda hoping for a TSC edc lol, because I go to TSC just as much as HD, and I'm ALWAYS browsing that store lol

[@ChrisUnlimited268]

plan to buy my first knife which is good edc para 2 or bugout mini

[@mitya004]

how about trying to get some EDC gear at grocery store. and I keep looking at your wallet and maybe I miss something but what wallet do you have in the video

[@dror-giladi]

Why do you need a $70 - $500 knife, if a simple $8 utility knife will do the same job of opening boxes and envelops?

[@lyndaw1304]

I'm interested to see what you can find at a Tractor Supply.

[@stevensigouin7378]

I'd be interested in a walmart edc or kijiji trade for edc gear

[@bigbrowndad6214]

Home Depot sells Milwaukee Hardline knives. They are frame lock and D2 steel. Great knives.

[@iamarawn]

Leatherman didn't rip off tale of knives. That type of holster was for sale long long time before tale of knives started making them. Leatherman didn't rip them off, probably never even heard of them. I had a very similar holster what, 15 years ago, maybe 20 years even and tale of knives has been in business for what, 5 years? This type of holster is *EVERYWHERE* and has been for many many years. Tale of knives probably makes a super high quality version, at least it looks like that, but that doesn't change the fact that they didn't create a unique holster. So really, there is no controversy. If Leatherman now apologizes, they are accepting blame for something they didn't do.

[@petecwalina8789]

Surprised with the MP600 I have a couple and they are Tough!.....PS Local Hardware Store

[@justinjohnson6445]

Woah what just happened with the sunglasses? Is that a magnet?

[@danielaxtell7233]

Rural King If there is one anywhere close to you.

[@landonjacobs8392]

Looking to get my teacher a Christmas gift any suggestions from home Depot? In 50 dollar range.

[@bpsdetailing8822]

Fred Meyers next!

[@supernova1976]

Certain parts of the states people say seement with a very silent T 😂

[@edurbina8481]

Dunham's will be a nice place to check out. Just subscribe

[@megajmg27]

Can you do an Advanced auto or Auto Zone complete carry? I think it might be interesting!

[@junkyardkustoms]

I want to see what you can find at garage sales! Come on, THAT'S a challenge that could be fun and yield some interesting finds.

[@TheHallbjorn]

I think one of the things this series is most useful for is people who receive a random store gift card and want to start an EDC with it. It would be outside the box, but would be interesting to see an alternative carry set from a place like Michael's or another craft store where the blade might be compact scissors or another kind of blade.

[@eagles7235]

Let’s go with the Coast flashlight! I use the G20 variant for work and it just rocks, since I have to look inside exhaust units or under the hydraulics table for a ground screw I drop (happens a ton)

[@focusonthefocus]

Glad to see SOG get some screen time. I would enjoy seeing you hit a unusual store for EDC like a Walgreens or CVS and get a specific medical EDC or survival EDC.

[@BozheTsaryaKhrani]

i got the fastback 6 in 1 and its effective has the minimum essentials and only 20 bucks

[@MYTHT365]

Great video! I always love these! Interesting to see what things you find local to you! You definitely try and do one at dicks sporting goods! Keep up the awesome videos 😄

[@TheBenHurtful]

For the same multitool as the Gerber, the Leatherman OHT do the same things, and it’s better.

[@rbn411]

The removable clips on the MP 600 are designed to make cleaning easy I think. When I have carried mine in different fleece pockets when going to help my neighbor out, I find that things like lint may get stuck in the track.

[@mortaldemons11]

These videos are fun. You should try a Target next!

[@philfowler2862]

I could use some cool EDC I love the Milwaukee fast back

[@brianriddle8389]

I bought one of those slide lock Gerbers a few years ago, and it stopped deploying properly as soon as I got a little bit of gunk in it. I've bought nothing but Leatherman ever since.

[@michaelk487]

I know Leatherman is good but grba is just as good if not better the 600 is a great multi-tool one-hand operation

[@vinnypiazza4851]

Oh cool, I've had two Slide-locks for a couple years. They're nice to have, a few keysmart quick releases are a good add-on if you have a Gerber dime and Olite 1ir 2 Pro that you want to be able to detach quickly but separately

[@Robs_Nerdy_Knives]

Great videos… I don’t know why, but I love these. Do you have an Atwoods that you can go to?!? By the way, an Ace hardware in Waco has a gun store and Carrie’s Benchmade, ZTs, and few other brands. They also have an impressive collection of flashlights.

[@DisjointedConversations]

The Milwaukee is the best utility knife I’ve ever had. Highly recommended

[@mangamike6855]

Is it durable. Do you do any heavy cutting with it? Or do you just use it once in a while. I work in a warehouse and bought similar knives but they have locked up and wouldn't close or open after use. I may go grab one of these

[@mangamike6855]

@@theswingingaxe4876 nice! All I needed to hear. Just wanted to make sure you didn't use it to open an Amazon box once a month. I need a knife that can do some work

[@mangamike6855]

@@theswingingaxe4876 I'm going to go to home depot in a few. I tried to find it online and their are a few of them.

[@snowboarding1984]

I’d like to see what another Ace Hardware would have. I know mine has had lost of different mid to high end knives and multi tools…

[@theEDCgeek]

I use the slide lock all the time to carry my keys on my backpack. The locking part helps greatly because there is no fear of the keys falling off and it has happened when not locked.

[@michaelk487]

go to Tractor Supply and Ace Hardware pretty interesting been there

[@missiondiscover]

Love these types of videos... Cool to see what "normal" stores have to offer

[@marcushillard7920]

Gotta get it bulletproof and tuned. Maybe even regear axles depending how big of tires and lift you went with. That will make a difference with that 7.3

[@EDCNC-YT]

Laniers Ace Hardware in Lexington has a realaaaaly good selection of SAK’s and other things. Give them a peek if you can!

[@megajmg27]

Also Ross Dress for less sometimes has decent stuff!

[@DiggingBuddy]

Dude! I never saw that quick release gizmo before but could definitely use that for some boat keys! I think tractor supply would be a great next stop for ya. Thanks for doing these, lots of fun to see what you scab together from a local retail spot

[@jamesray7661]

You know I was just looking at that Coast flashlight just a bit ago at the store. I own the large Fastback and love it, I use it for work all the time. I'm new to the community but long time edc fan.

[@jakemoyles4755]

Happy to see a new video.. thanks for everything your do and all your time..

[@calebgips2135]

Love these vids. Btw I always call those 5 gallon buckets…not sure about semen lol. Btw (again) I love Fords. It’s the truck I drive and it’s great. Btw (again again) really curious about the fatwood…cooking vid?!?

[@Davez69gto]

Go to REI. With their selection it'll be interesting to see what you come up with.

[@kenny21r]

He did one there.

[@Davez69gto]

@@kenny21r I just saw that... I'm still working my way through all his videos. There's a lot so...

[@harunomiya]

Nice to see this budget edc. Cabbelas sounds like a good stop. How about after going to all these places, pick out the best items they had to offer.

[@JPBTheLegend]

Ace has different stuff store to store. I tried to return something at a store a couple blocks away from the one I bought it at and they wouldn’t take it. The person said they don’t stock that item so I couldn’t return it. That MP600 looked pretty bad.

[@Jester626]

It's a shame you mp600 imploded straight away, I have the TSA safe version with removable remgrit blade being in the U.K and its a tank, slings out the front with some use (I do have the centerdrive aswell which is awesome but don't really carry it much due to our crappy knife laws) and have put my mp600 through some crap, even used the pliers to pry open some stuff, I do prefer the gerber OTF pliers to the leatherman OHT aswell.

[@UncommonEDC]

Haha who among us doesn't use a Home Depot bucket for carrying semen. 😂

[@ctrip34]

I really dig that quick release caribiner. A lil more than I'd like to spend but what isnt nowadays. & theres a ton of places. Depends if you have them. You could do scheels, sportsmans warehouse, cables, etc. Maybe even an IFA or a tractor supply. Anywho, keep it up.🤙

[@tkindschi]

Always a good day when you can come home with....a semen bucket.(?) My only thought for "where next" is that it's too bad Sears is pretty much defunct. My memory says it was the kind of place where you could have filled the shopping list with generally pretty good stuff.

[@CAJones-bu6tu]

First off, you are missing out on the fastback 6n1. Mine was just stolen and I immediately bought a replacement for work. Second, go to an Ace hardware in a small mountain town. They tend to be larger have a little something for everyone because they are in a destination and no other options. The hardware store in Black Mountain, NC carries legit Granfors Bruks. Lastly, Mast General Store in Asheville had a little bit of everything. It’s not big box at all, and would be entertaining as they also carry hiking gear, etc.

[@SEESPRINGSPIN]

New to your channel and binge watching your videos here. Really digging your style. Have you tried bass pro shop? Carry on 💪

[@rickyramirez3353]

I don’t know if you’ve already done it but REI would be great. You would really be able to go all out. I love that Milwaukee Fastback, pick me always trying to expand my EDC gear.

[@egbluesuede1220]

Gerber comes up with some cool innovations, but their quality is trash. Dull knives, low quality steel, and in my experience they fall apart.

[@danielgarity3522]

Hey taylor just curious if you have tried any other Civivi knives like the Odium or the Conspirator, and how they chalk up next to the Elementum? Just curious because I know you love that Elementum. Thanks man!

[@catchmp82]

It would be awesome to try a Love’s or Flying J truck stop fuel station. Might be surprised what kind of EDC you might find. KCCO!

[@shaneintegra]

They have a mini Milwaukee tape measure that has a built in LED for about $5 I believe. That lil thing is ALWAYS on me and has been helpful so many times

[@michaelk487]

been following you since you been doing phone reviews😊

[@SilentlyContinue]

Fastback blade storage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWLOh3uApJWbZqs No, it's not built-in like the knife you mentioned. But its an interesting hack. I was surprised to see Streamlight at a local gun store. Maybe see if you have any local gun or fishing stores to try next. Sure, a mom and pop store won't give us apples to apples, but it might still be nice to see apples to oranges.

[@wolf2bear77]

Hey Taylor. I would like to see a Tractor Supply shop for EDC. Next time I'm out at Home Depot I will look for that Coast flashlight. Thanks.

[@landscapingspecialist]

I have a Swisstool. After over a decade with my wave I was ready for a change. And to be honest I won’t look back. Nothing against leatherman. They served me well for almost 20 years of my life. Just wanted to try something else.

[@Barret2002]

My personal edc consists of a KABAR folding hunter, Boker Kalashnikov reverse tanto, a Quantum flashlight that uses two AAA batteries, a small screwdriver with bits to fit the screws on the knives, a Sparrows EOD full pick set, a custom micro torch, a 600 grit ceramic hone, a zippo lighter secured in the stone holder on my tracker knife, my tracker knife (ottoza but soon to be upgraded to something else), my wallet, phone, charger, headphones, and a quick deploy paracord bracelet
