Best Complete Everyday Carry from REI | EDC 2021

[@cartercollins5693]

We need a Dollar store edc for you to financially recover from this video

[@pricexs4129]

I would like to see that just for fun tbh

[@CrownTheKnight]

Horrifying idea

[@kydd666]

I'd watch that!

[@heaththompson3834]

ya I'd watch...but its gonna suck. you need to do it.

[@TheGeekiestGuy]

He'll end up with an old school pencil a razor blade and some rubber bands, but it'll be hilarious.

[@ckgonzales6743]

Nice thing about REI - you've got an entire year to figure out if you like it or not. Keep your receipts and you can return.

[@Santa1936]

Don't even need the receipt

[@excessorizeme]

No Bullet Pen? REI is canceled.

[@strongside4565]

No patina is bad for the soul.

[@jeffr7769]

I’m digging the vlog style you’ve been doing. Still enjoy the behind the desk edc weekly format too but the vlog type vids are my favorite.

[@RileyBarrad]

Love REI. As a backpacker, Red Cross volunteer and being in the military I almost always rely on my edc. I carry a CRKT knife, Gerber multi tool, rite in rain notebook, space pen, pocket size flashlight, headlamp, I wear a Garmin Fenix 6 pro, Oakley sunglasses and of course phone with my earbuds. Thats just my pocket edc. I carry a ruck or what people call a go bag every day.

[@irzyxelwj]

I looked up the Fenix brand lights, since I've been shopping for a new work light to carry when I go to job sites. My old light needs a new battery and I just want something new. I saw the WT25R and that thing looks absolutely perfect for what I need. Glad I saw you mention their brand and I took the time to check into them.

[@Pop_Gordo]

When I saw it was REI I knew it was going to be expensive but damn... 😂

[@redhead_redneck]

Thicc: A compliment given to someone who's got a lot of CAKE! and you'd hit that Thick: A insult meaning someone is fat and unattractive Thic: A compliment or insult depending on what the person receiving it takes it as meaning someone is fat but you'd still hit that.

[@Vespux]

They have fitness tracking rings now! Might be something work looking into since you're wanting to track your health stuff but still wear your automatic watches.

[@semkoot8315]

Now I want to see a Sling Bag / Man Bag EDC weekly

[@Justinator616]

Can anyone ID the sling bag Taylor is using in the video?

[@Mike.Macmyazka]

@@Justinator616 that's what I'm trying to figure out too

[@christiantorres5055]

also aer city sling bag it’s nice too but you gotta be a little bit minimalism that’s at least my experience but let’s try to make taylor go more in depth about sling bags and make content about it !!!!!

[@theEDCgeek]

I carry my full-size Crooked River daily. I upgraded the clip with a LynchNW and it allows it to disappear in the pocket. I was surprised.

[@urbancarvers8974]

This was fun! I just customized a Crooked River last week on their website and was debating on mini or full. Go big or go home! I can't wait for it to get here.

[@vanontheloose211]

I’ve carried my armbar everyday since I got it. Lost the gerber bit but replaced it with a gold philips from makita. It actually made it looked bad ass

[@tayloraustgen7646]

Love the instinct and crooked river. My knife was stolen by usps when I sent it in for warranty repair. Benchmade emailed me a photo of a torn open package! Good choice though!

[@damionf8987]

$800 worth of likes 👍🏾

[@christopherdecarlucci2985]

Finally a crooked river i absolutely love that knife!!!!!

[@sonny34333]

Would be curious to see review on the “dads Fanny”. Does it have a “tactical” crossover?

[@HeyitsMeggan]

So so close to the $300 budget you had 😂. Loved the gear!! REI (minus the wallet LOL) was a success!

[@glassjar7814]

I have that flashlight! But not for my edc. It just stays in my car. Which has saved the day many times

[@connormclean8132]

If you wanted a fitness tracker that looks more like a wrist band you could try the "whoop" band! wear it on one wrist and the nice watches you like on the other. Doesn't look nearly as silly as wearing two watches!

[@Jsan25]

I had the same issue; watch vs Fitbit. I took the straps off of the Fitbit and dropped it in my 5th pocket. Still picks up heart rate, steps, etc. Save yourself a few hundred.

[@lucasconti2250]

You should look into whoop. I wear it on my right wrist and still wear a watch on my left. It is really great and tons of professional athletes use so it's definitely a good one.

[@mljones99]

Ah... the REI at Northlake....haven't been there in several years. Might need to plan a visit.

[@jroney1317]

Fellow watch guy here, I wanted a fitness tracker as well but didn't want to go the smart watch route. Ended up going with the Oura ring and have really liked it and the accompanying app. Whoop is another option but would require wearing it on the other wrist.

[@BestDamnEDC]

I have an Oura on the way. 😬

[@AngryGumball]

I think the light you may have referred to was the PD36R which has the exterior USB-C port. One I was impressed with for it's small size was the Fenix E12 for a small pocket light. The PD36R is a little big to keep in a pocket but fits great in my 2-slot holster (multi and flash light).

[@freethinker5225]

This man is so wholesome. Only channel I'm subscribed too

[@RyanHeafner]

I have an Omega, Doxa, Oris, Seiko, and several Tags. My Garmin Fenix 5x Plus in titanium is on my wrist every day.

[@maiqthel1ar332]

ThruNite Th30 is my favorite edc. I carry it at work and it has super low to blinding bright modes. It's also 90 degrees so its more comfortable to hold for me. I think ThruNite is one of the best brands on the scene! You should review a few soon.

[@quinnsd13]

I love my Armbar. I keep it, a compact lockpick set and a set of 1/4 bits in a small leather belt pouch while at work. Only thing I wish it had was some pliers. I'm going to need to get that leatherman ratchet though.

[@korgan7779]

Before I watched it I said 750 just because you said Garmin watches. And Bonus fact - Sat here watching this episode while eating scratch made apple pie with the fork of my Case xx Hobo lol.

[@NJP1234567890]

I liked and subscribed when I heard the price… there’s an rei a few miles down the road from me… don’t go… don’t go… GOING!!!!

[@55gopi]

Can we see a cross body bag collection and review please.

[@MokuNui808]

The fact that she was there, supportive, complimentary, and gave input!!! Dude you hit the jackpot!!!!

[@BestDamnEDC]

She’s my employee, not my wife. 🤣

[@brittanysmith7523]

What does your lady carry? Found you while I was doing some research. Love your content. I’ve learned a lot!

[@christopherfittro0927]

I have that same flashlight, I was also looking for the magnet charge but other than that the flashlight is awesome. Very bright and durability is great.

[@bigwalt818]

You should do a EDC from a mom and pop store. To support local businesses. Even though ppl around the country won't be able to duplicate it since each mom n pop stores r different. It would be pretty cool to see. Also great job on on the weight loss. You can definitely tell especially in your face.

[@mrsw916]

Travel to Cali and do this at @edc_specialties

[@DavidV4444]

I have this existential crisis a couple times a month - lololol - that was very funny! Great video which is why I am a Patreon - keep em coming and thank you!

[@joshualatendresse]

REI has an exclusive Leatherman Signal in Ranger Green with a topo blade -- I kinda figured that you wouldn''t be able to resist that one!

[@jarofaar8618]

The magnetic fenix light does not have a tail switch only a side switch.

[@MrANGEL0115]

dropping the like to help pay for the REI hual lol. I got you bud!

[@inukiroya]

Damn that one edc store is like the equivalent of 5 in my city in canada lol sucks edc isn't big here since everything I buy is from the US and shipping/duties can get expensive xD

[@kydd666]

Fellow canadian here, is there any online canadian retailers you'd recommend? I dont like trying to bring in knives from outside of the country as i've already lost one to customs

[@sydneyorr2904]

Your phone itself is a fitness tracker. You can have it count your steps and check heart rate with free apps. Return the smart watch and wear your automatics.

[@BestDamnEDC]

It’s not very accurate. And I don’t have my phone on me when I work out.

[@MrF4tty]

The Ron Swanson clip got me.

[@Zog1977]

What that sling pack you had on at REI?

[@howie6707]

the garmin isn't bad ..I have the battery powered version of the instinct ..use it for runs and sometimes I wear it all day ...but if you're not a smart watch person Garmin is the way to go

[@themanyousendtokilltheboog3900]

I bought my bugout from an rei in Gatlinburg

[@PhilippDitfurth]

If Garmin isn´t your cup of tea, try the (Multisport) Vantage or Grit Series from Polar. I don´t know if they´re widely available in the US, but they´re very good and almost half the price. I switched my beloved Tissot Automatic for a Vantage M as my daily driver about two years ago and only use the Tissot for special occasions now (with a suit, for example). I don´t use the 'smart' thing, but instead use it to keep track of my sleep, exercise and fitness levels with the occasional sync to my phone. The apps are also excellent.

[@Sloth_644]

I carry the fenix ld30. Great flashlight

[@avishekganguly4677]

Like the watch with green straps

[@woodlandreconjoshdrakes5509]

Hell, that's the REI I go to I think. Diffently looked like you were at the Northlake mall by 77 lol

[@dalepak1955]

TBH that’s what I thought you would spend at REI. They’re pricey but have nice stuff.

[@xvaldez3284]

If you want a fitness tracker but don't want a smart watch just get a smart ring. Essentially the same thing but more discreet

[@dallasfarmerie3012]

i love my garmin instinct watch i sleep in it every night and have loved everything about it

[@DiggingBuddy]

I would love to learn more about how garmin watches and fitness watches are working out for you. I have a cheaper garmin and its ok but I really wish it had some of the cool iphone integrations that the apple watch has. If it weren't for the fact that apple watch users need to charge their watch EVERY NIGHT I'd probably be wearing one

[@lukepaulson3428]

Never handled one but that Crooked River sure is a good looking knife. Thanks!

[@woodlandreconjoshdrakes5509]

Great video, only rei I know of is at north lake, my favorite camping/bushcraft store lo. Great video as always 👍

[@498drifter]

I always thought the crooked river was a turd. Hate that the only place you get purchase when closing it is the pocket clip.

[@nabsiegel]

REI has an awesome Halloween-time podcast called Camp Monsters that I highly recommend.

[@patina_turner6791]

Haha I was in REI yesterday, and can’t help myself to stop by the knife display. That place is dangerous for my wallet 😂

[@anthonystaglianojr4423]

What do you use on your visor to hold your sunglasses?!

[@fatesblade]

Nice haul! Looking forward to the Garmin watch review

[@bornruthless7902]

Hybrid smart watch from Alpina Alive series i believe would be something you might be interested in

[@bigjake6foot5]

26:30 what's the white thing?

[@area51.52]

Congrats on the weight loss, brother. Keep it up!

[@kydd666]

You should try to build an EDC from a thrift store

[@123clau321]

What kind of watch are you wearing in this video? It’s real nice!!

[@floriangravouil1456]

As for the whistle, i prefer my *Nitecore NWS10* that i carry at all time on my neck. Love the square design it has over any other whistles, makes people around me wonder what it is until i release the full *120dB* from it. *hehe* But more seriously i would love to have shops like REI here in france. *sigh*

[@bsandoval2340]

Have you tried some of fossils smart watches. There like some of the standard analog watch but with some smart watch features.

[@dsknives310]

You take the watch out & ur doing 👌🏼kay. I hv tht Fenix & works awesome as a house light. Super bright too. Solid💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👊🏼

[@5_C_G]

Me: Do you think I should go with a full size crooked river. My mom in Spanish: whattttie whatttie

[@rsqizar]

Hmm i got the same discount because the houston rei didnt have the box for my crooked river, do they even have boxes for these then?

[@Mario-sz9qo]

Try the fossil hybrid hr you won’t regret it I liked it so much I bought two

[@freethinker5225]

The silence after 860 made me want to call his sponsor

[@JonnyDaybreak]

As a watch fan myself, I’ve been looking at something like a Whoop Strap or Amazon Halo for fitness tracking 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@masemasemasie]

I don’t like Amazon devices in my excperience. They are always cheap

[@sandy_knight]

Man, you've got to play the game! Next time you want to get two of something just make sure they're different colours (to go with different outfits) and you'll totally get away with it...

[@unclebearzz2519]

What are your thoughts on a axe multi-tools????

[@anthonymorelli67]

Hey Taylor can you do a revisit on this one.

[@jeffreydahmer3995]

Can we see a LL Bean carry?

[@maddbaer]

Try a fitness tracking ring

[@PLBW81]

There a lot of aftermarkt scales for knives also SAKs in titanium. Are there any aftermarkt scales (maybe the wrong wording) for full size multitools in titanium for example Swisstool spirit or Rebar...?

[@vinceanderson4320]

Love this series.

[@swarovskivtx]

What is the brand of the pouch you have on the sun visor please??

[@veronicaserrato9827]

Hi nice video! Love your voice!! I have a question where do you have your glasses 👓 is it a holder?

[@williamgranger4653]

Did you mean to exclude the Gerber Armbar Drive from the final EDC? I'm really curious about your thoughts on it. I got one when it first launched and don't find myself carrying it much. I think it was a huge miss to not have the driver lock. A little too much pressure and it can fold up on you. Really cool design though. Just wish the driver locked and maybe a file instead of the awl, and maybe add a pair of tweezer, and throw on a pocket clip...oh wait I just described the Leatherman T4

[@shanes1112]

Watching in 2024, him pulling 2 Leatherman ratchet drivers off the shelf for 35.00 ea and looking at the 349.99 price tag on eBay today for new, and 150.00 for used

[@BestDamnEDC]

Follow the r/leatherman subreddit. They're on top of when they get restocked, which is every few weeks I believe. On the Leatherman website. But they go fast.

[@shanes1112]

@@BestDamnEDC thank you so much!! I’ll do that and hopefully score one. In the meantime, I took your advice on the 711L ratchet and really like it.

[@fnraptr7744]

I’m really curious if you keep all this stuff or return it?

[@flknifelife3725]

What watch are you wearing in this video? Looks nice!

[@couchfighter]

why no serrated blades?

[@timroth8985]

Yay for science!🧪

I just bought a victorinox spartan i don't even know why i saw this video and wanted to buy something i guess😂😂

[@gearstuffs8007]

That Gerber made in?

Please make a Video about ur Super 73

I would like to see the best cheap EDC and aimed for high school students

[@lawdtrafalgar9919]

I used to be on the discord server, I left for a while and now I want to get back in but it's asking for verification and it wants to access my account. Is this ligit or am I doing something wrong?

What watch are you wearing in this? i triad to look back in other vid were you say your edc in the beginning with no luck it has a Ti look to it and I feel like I need one in my life

[@BestDamnEDC]

[@GingerCG]

Would you be willing to do a best complete EDC from Academy Sports?

[@thehermit761]

How do I send you my EDC when I am ready?

[@Wiesman1000]

$80 into that sweet REI divided.

[@laughingman2007]

Maybe Bass Pro?

[@jackdeem215]

totally agree gotta hate those stupi serrated blade "combo's".
