RIDICULOUSLY AFFORDABLE Everyday Carry Setups | Budget EDC Weekly

[@redstar749]

I’d love to see a video series on how people use their edc. Having and showing off edc gear is always cool, but even cooler is when you have a story about how that edc item “saved the day” in any capacity.

[@thatbostonguy8479]

Not sure if you will ever see this but here’s one for you! My first ever flashlight I bought for edc saved the day on a boat one night going around the island I lived on. One day after going to the beach I got a call from my friend asking me if I wanted to go on his boat (he’s the type of friend that something normally goes wrong so I brought my edc). So I get on the boat and we are putting around then it starts to get dark, we find out that the indicator light on the front of the boat isn’t working and it’s a wiring issue. I pulled out my flash light and it just fit inside the housing of the light! (It was extremely dark by this time trying to fix the wiring). I had to buy a new flash light after because I never got it back 😂

[@TDOLLA]

pulled a tick off my girlfriends butt with leatherman P4. She wouldn’t let me take a pick and upload it to the EDC subreddit though 😢

[@mauriciogonzalez9000]

Let’s see some career-orientated EDCs. Being a mechanic, my EDC has some work patina that’s got some character to it! I would love to see what other mechanics and techs carry around with them and it might inspire some more gear for me to carry around 🧰 much love brother 🤙🏽

[@deedeeXcee]

I would love to see the most “low-profile” easiest to carry EDC...

[@bradbauer9984]

Dude, the fact you play with your child with a flashlight is AWESOME! Don’t ever apologize for loving your kid.

[@jorgeflores3874]

One word man: MODS!!! I love to modify my edc to make it truly MY EDC and I'll like to see what you and others can do.

[@jakesip6765]

Mods and more Rick!

[@KaizoGC161]

I’d love to see a “Formal Carry” EDC! What we carry when were NOT at work but at a classier environment. I know i carry a prettier non-scary looking knife and a nicer watch and i ditch my Leatherman PS4 Squirt and light for a Victorinox midnight minichamp, gerber EAB money clip and swap out my iphone battery case for a nice Platinum leather case with card slots from BestBuy. Swap the space pen for a more classier fullsize clicker with a moleskin instead of a rite n rain trayvax summit notebook. This could be super interesting to see what everyone else swaps out for and what they consider “fancy” thanks!

[@bradenfouts3169]

I dress up quite frequently and I would appreciate a video about gear that would be more acceptable in a more formal setting.

[@RawFeeding101]

I’d honestly like to see more “How to care for your gear” videos on the channel.

[@ohcaptmycaptain669]

I would like to see a video of “your first edc” or “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” because so many in this community probably don’t have their first items anymore. I know part of the fun is trading or upgrading but I’m a minimalist in the sense that I find one thing I like, buy that, and don’t change it. I’d be curious to see how many of us actually still have their original items.

[@david.mourlam]

I would love to see more with Rick: Modding/Fabricating EDC gear, working on projects, and more with working on your camping gear! You guys are so much fun together!

[@IncandescentSmell]

Love to see a “lightweight” carry EDC for those who don’t like having too much weight in the pockets

[@ranecote]

my lightweight edc: victorinox cadet 😂

[@lr662]

*Carbon_fibre enters the chat*

[@chase.winegar]

Skeletool, bit kit set, i1R 2 EOS, ridge wallet, style cs. Covers all my needs and no extra bs.

[@definitelynotclickbait8283]

credit card, cash (no wallet), keys and phone done!!!

[@brendand5287]

I'd love to see a video tailored towards slimmer people and/or women talking about minimalistic EDCs. For example, do you really need to carry a flashlight if you always have your phone on you? Or what about folders if you already carry a multi tool?

[@derrick9653]

Agreed. The watch can go as well. If I have a flashlight it's gotta be suitable for firearm usage.

[@nickmartin755]

I would like to see a “ beginner edc carry” video for the people just starting to get into edc.

[@sirwolfanite]

For me personally I think it would be interesting to see carries for different activities or jobs. What you carry depends on what you do every day. You may be able to see what people and yourself would carry while camping, fishing, or hiking. On the job aspect you can see what people in different careers carry. An office worker, a mechanic, and an electrician may carry different gear and for different reasons. At the end of the day you should make videos on topics and ideas you enjoy, have some fun looking and maybe learning about a few different things.

[@john90rutledge]

I’d like to see a run of “beefier” working man EDCs. How often do people go for the $$$ gear when it’s being abused?

[@CorkKNIFE]

Working men do not abuse their EDC tools. Lots of $30 MiUSA Buck 110s or Case bone handle knives used daily by working men. Lot's of Seiko 5s, cheap wallet from the Christmas/Father's day pile, $80 Streamlights. That is a solid "working man's" EDC under $300 and the knife and the watch you don't ever have to buy again.

[@TronFnknBlow]

I've put ZT0350, Leatherman Wave and Rebar through construction and welding shop use. They're not super-high end, but they're well into the realm of paying for quality, and they've all stood up well.

[@bomtradym4027]

working man edc for me is a pokka pen, my flip phone and a leatherman k2. I actually use them daily and they dont just sit there and look pretty on instagram

[@nicholaspostma3024]

Would love to see “ blue-collar” themed video. Farmers, mechanics, etc. And I think it would be cool to see your all out, no budget, grail carry. Keep up the great work 👌

[@joeyr3186]

I honestly would love to see the whole “executive” carry thing. Like more classy that you could bring to the office and church. That kinda thing. But anyways just wanted to thank you for making awesome videos and making me look forward to that post notification😂

[@TannerSeidel]

I'd also like to see exec/office carry.

I'd love to see more of the customising gear and semi DIY videos ( like the lanyard tieing video ). Also thanks for the blade centring video, that helped me out a bunch!

[@bryanhall4132]

Just getting into EDC I had no idea it was even a thing. Mine all started with a pocket notebook from log and jotter and I just continue to become more and more interested. Thanks for your content!!

[@thechief043]

Heavily used EDC and pocket dumps. I enjoy pocket dumps to see what changes as time goes on, but I also like seeing how your EDC itself changes with time. I don't knock the EDC community. I started out not really understanding the draw, but seeing the passion people can throw into it, I really appreciate that. We all have our own hobbies, enjoy them the way you want to.

[@Stran303]

“Well used gear” gear that has been absolutely thrashed on

I'd like to see a "When I Started" vs "What I EDC now" Video. From the long term EDC folks

[@iandevera5906]

That’s a good one and I’m already planning my submission if this one wins

[@msjlondon1]

I would love to see a “day in the life of Taylor Martin” where we see how you use your edc and also some behind the scene of the work you do. Thanks for all the great content!!

[@dalem2448]

I think it would be really interesting to see peoples sentimental edc carries. I would imagine that it will be more knives than anything but to see a knife that has a history behind it would be very interesting. Thank you for the opportunity to win this prize.

[@randolphludwig1348]

The power goes out in our house all the time. My son and I play shadow puppets for hours. He’s almost 4. I just got him his first all wooden folding knife from CRKT. It’s so cool and he carries it bulging out of his front little pocket. Kids are the best! Thanks for sharing the updates with Elenor.

I am 55 years old. My edc consists of a Buck 110 on my Belt. A Timex Expedition on my wrist. In a DYI leather organizer I have a Zebra (BULLET PROOF) F701 pen, O Light flashlight, and a Boker Trapper slip joint pocket knife. Walmart special minimal thin leather wallet. Sometimes a Zippo lighter and a compass around my neck when heading into the woods hunting or on a hike.

[@b-rad5955]

I’d love to understand your thought process each morning when you choose your EDC. Mine is literally an EDC in that I carry exactly the same thing every day. I found what works for me and don’t stray from it, but I watch your channel because it provides the variety that my carry is lacking. Understanding how/why you come up with that variety would be interesting.

Being retired and on a fixed income, I like to see EDC in the affordable, not cheap, universe. Also, being a veteran (664-66), I like to see military derivations. Finally, being older than dirt, I like traditional items. BTW, my EDC knife is also a Civivi, a Wyvern.

This comment is more of a question but also a second suggestion: I carry multiple charge cables and a set of ear bud headphones. Plan to get Bluetooth phones soon, so that will be minus one for this issue, but still will have charge cables. How do you manage charge cables in your gear bag? Just wrap and pocket them in your bag, or do you have some sort of wrap or management system?? That would be interesting. Thanks!
