7 EDC Hacks That Will Change How You Carry

[@wizardbrown7588]

A part of my bushcraft essentials are, believe it or not, two rolls of heavy duty dog poop bags. 13" x 9", non scented, 15 count per roll. They can be used for holding water, protecting small things from water like kindling, a place to put food items you may need to gather, and if it's really rainy you can make sandbags with them. I'm sure their are other uses so let your inner McGyver run wild.

[@ralphsmith8350]

Ah, didn't know thety make heavy duty. thanks.

[@TheStupidcomment]

Just something to keep in mind. Dog bags are designed to break down so after some months they will literally fall apart if you try to use them.

[@pdr938]

Use marine grade heat shrink and you don't need a knot. Just slide the tails in and heat it. It is lined with heat activated glue.

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

On ships, we often grind and shape channel lock handle ends, to a flat screw driver and a tapered spud for loosening knots and opening screw shackles.

[@detroitbob58]

We also made a flat blade screwdriver on the handle of our channel locks when I worked at a Detroit Edison power plant. We used the blade to open up electrical control panels to do resets. We carried them on our rear hip, looped over our belt, so that the sharpened end of the handle didn't slice you open!

[@TheGreenHeartofItaly-fl3wv]

Great idea. How about a chisel end for shaping bushcraft what-have-you. Also, personally I like to crimp the end of the heat shrink by pinching it together with a hemostat or needle-nose plier immediately after heating it up. This way the handles are better insulating if you need to work on anything electrically hot. One can always rip off the heat shrink if you wanted to use the chisel or other tools ground in to the handle ends.

[@DoctorJones841]

You can do the watch thing with a digital watch or even no watch by just knowing what time it is and imagining where the hour hand would be if you had an analog watch.

I have been using paracord for flashlight tethers for years. My method involves keeping one side free to use as a lanyard while still being able to hook it around the light and use it as the hands-free loop or, most commonly, an impromptu belt loop for storage. It works with fewer designs, but the versatility it gives is amazing.

[@thejayare]

Have any photos of this somewhere? I'm always tinkering with this kind of thing, and I could use some inspiration for my next session.

Not going to lie! As a plumber, I have grips older than you. Tomorrow I am getting the sparky to wrap them in heat shit stuff.

[@DavidH373]

Did you end up putting heat shit stuff on your pliers?

[@james0000]

@@DavidH373 I have went that route several times before, but I didn't like it much without several layers. I have had better results with Plasti-Dip. Shrink works in a pinch though. Depending on the tool and the shrink tubing... you can trap water inside, between the wrap and the tool. That's something to watch out for. I will say that ever since I was able to repair someones broken glasses (leg broke off the frame) that I now keep a bit of shrink tube on my all the time... in my belt.

[@christophergallagher531]

Hey, multi tools are too gadgety for me. I keep a small pair slip joint channel locks handy. I took off the plastic and filed the handle ends. One is an awl, the other a flat screw driver

[@jvin248]

If you grind some flats on one of the knipex pliers handle tips you can add a standard flat screwdriver, or pry bar function. The other handle can be ground flat and then carefully angled the other direction for a two-sided philips driver. It would be cool if Knipex added proper #2 flat and #2 philips shapes at the handle ends though.

[@akbychoice]

Just add a bit driver hex built into the handle.

[@dreed7312]

I like your flashlight lanyard idea but I still like mine better. Although I've never needed it, mine can be adapted to yours quickly. My flashlight is on a lanyard made to wear ID badges, park passes, etc. The type you see everywhere and they often have corporate logos and are handed out as schwag. I simply wear it around my neck, dangling when in use. I can use both hands and (this is key) as long as I'm working on something directly in front of me and below my chest, it works great. Car repairs, clean a fish, air up a tire, and find the right key for a lock. It works great and points where I usually need it. Your method always points the light off somewhere else unless maybe you are using a screwdriver and gripping it overhand working chest high or above. I wouldn't call mine a hack. It's just hanging an led flashlight on a lanyard and putting it around my neck the way that event pass lanyard was meant to be used. I can wrap it around my hand binding the light to the back of my hand if I want to, but never have. When the need arises I'll remember your trick.

[@IvIidnight]

Heat shrink also works for making skeletonized knife handles more comfortable. (Or over the scales if you want them grippier.)

[@JuggaloNY]

Yes I agree. Also, Liquid electrical tape works. And if you really want to step it up a notch. Can put very clean like fish tank fine sand in with it. And just dip.

I wish you released this video a few days ago, I lost my Fenix pd25r in the bush the other day. I will be attaching a cord to all my lights that I take hunting now. Great video, keep it up!

[@JohnB551]

You can also use the leatherman bit driver on top of a victorinox screwdriver (like the one found in the mini champ) and use different bits. Also bits can be used as a fire starter if you strike it with the mini champ file.

[@NUCLEARMOOSE1]

An additional hack, specifically for RovyVon or similar micro edc flashlights. Make it a neck light with some paracord. It makes access to it more convenient in almost every scenario, you have a way to secure it to things when you need an area light, and it can even be worn without clothes. Do with that what you will.

[@ReadyUpGo]

Headlamps are my choice for practical light source at night. Your hands are free and it is pointed in the direction you need it to be aiming.

[@soemyintmyat875]

About the Knipex, if you’re already carrying a plier-based multitool, you better carry the Knipex wrench. It can do everything a plier does and will add more functionality when you need a secure wrench.

[@BestDamnEDC]

I have them but this doesn't work with the pliers wrench. The slot is different due to the way the jaws work

[@ewakingwood]

And to take ranger bands a bit further: when you make your own out of old bicycle innertubes, you can make them any width you like, while store-bought ones usually come in different diameters, but usually not different widths. I find that they give better grip if you clean off the talc powder on the outside of the tube (put there to reduce friction between the tire and the tube) that they give a lot more grip. The advantage to cutting your own ranger bands to wider sizes is that you can do the shrink wrap-flashlight hack without buying shrink tubing and used tubes from bike shops are always free. You can ask the wrenches in the back if they have a box of them but often times, they're piled out by the dumpster. Most shops replace rather than patch tires but they'll sell you a patch kit 😉

After years of watching EDC vids i finally picked up a Leatherman free P2, civivi Crit and a decent field watch. it has been a game changer. I use the the Leatherman almost every day. Awesome vid, ill have to try that heat shrink when i pickup a flashlight

[@Zoroasterisk]

I'm mostly a pocket knife guy (Hogue Deka crew represent) but I recently started looking at them, and man. Flashlights are a lot. What I've gleaned so far is that CRI roughly measures color accuracy, and comes at the cost of power/heat efficiency. So, generally speaking, you'd want high CRI for anything to do with cameras or where it's really important to distinguish different colors, but for outdoor use, low CRI is IMO more desirable because it'll last longer. Hope this helps, sorry if I over explained

[@Jacobbunt]

@@Zoroasterisk That definitely helps, CRI was the last flashlight spec that I didn't really understand. I like slightly weird gear so I ended up grabbing a Olight Oclip and its been crazy useful for EDC but now I'm looking at larger flashlights for the times I need more power and run time and I'm thinkin the baton 3 pro max but I'm still lookin to see if i can find something reasonably priced with more runtime at 1000 Lumens

[@SplitRing]

I recently found that the opposite/near-widest channel opening on a set of 150 Cobras works as a wire cutter in a pinch (literally!) Only works on wire you could feed into the groove though. Also when doing the handle heat shrink, try cutting a 1/2" "tail" that you can tuck back into the tubing to create a bit more padding for the very ends of the handles. Cheers!

[@fdiaz05]

Great video! THanks for sharing. A lot of great uses. I carry a fake a wallet when I visit places as well using just junk cards that look like credit cards from advertisements mailed to me, so long as they are generic and don't have my name. In addition when I travel abroad, i'll bring an old phone that is wiped and carry it as a phone to give to a potential robber/mugger.

[@LiqdPT]

Did that heat gun not come with a metal shield attachment for heat shrink? It curls around the backside and distributes the heat around it (and not past it)

I’m now starting to get more into the edc accessories and am very curious where you purchase your lanyards/beads

[@JavierBonillaC]

Tip #1…. If you don’t have a clip you can loosen your cap a little and stuck it between cap nd forehead. Tip #2 very good but I do do it for mugging purposes (live in Mexico City). Tip #3 is pure gold. I’m going to offer one tip: carry a good length of synthetic gut or sinew cord. If you carry 30 grams in a bundle you’ll probably have 100 yards. I cannot tell you how tough synthetic sinew is. It can replace paracord in 98 out of every 100 things you use paracord for. Great video, thanks.

[@paulwilson6968]

Cool Video. I am going to go back and watch some of your other videos. Very well explained and made the 10 minutes of watching seem like 2 because i was surprised i was at the end of the video so quickly and not bored.

[@Flynn_Stones]

Take the first tip and combine with your last tip to give your mini pliers an index finger loop. This way you just open/close your index finger to open/close the pliers. Comes in handy when you lose some finer hand movement while wearing gloves or your hands are just freezing.

[@jacquesdespadas]

You can get a 4” Knipex to hold a standard 1/4 driver exactly as you demonstrated with the larger Knipex. I don’t have the Leatherman bit holder, so I can’t speak to that. Nice vid!

[@motorolas]

Had a Leatherman Skeletool for 15+ years and would regularly use the knife, screwdriver, and pliers in that order. Also would have my Leatherman Micra for longer and would use the knife, screwdrivers, and scissors. EDC either of those, and a Photon keyring light for over 10 years takes care of 90% of what I need to do on a daily basis.

[@VladimirLadev]

That shrinktube flashlight tip Brilliant! Extra cards you can just add to your phone, there are a bunch of aps that copy the barcode so you can scan them but not bring them. Great stuff man thank you!!!

[@gregrudzinski]

Mini Vice Grips will work with the Leatherman ratchet driver as well.

[@ForgivenBob]

You can use just a loop of shock cord for the flashlight. I tie mine near the tail cap. Then just loop it over the back of my hand and slip it over the front. I can easily remove it, and reattach it if necessary.

[@SavageShooter93]

Pro tip. For small flashlights with a two way clip for putting on a hat cut a small slit into the brim of the hat about 2-3" from where the bill meets the cap (length of clip + 1") super glue the threads so they dont fray and you can slip your light into it and it will lay on the bill without sticking out really far. Its far more natural to use as a headlamp that way.

Incredibly useful ideas - thanks for showing. I already knew about ranger bands and went to my bike-shop asked them and got a whole bunch of different sizes for free. Mostly an innertube is thrown away after 2 or three repairs, but the rest is still in good shape - rubbing it with talcum improves the lifespan and works as a dry lubricant as well. One of my favorite hacks is taking a cheap, regular locking 1/4" hex-driver and file and/or grind it flat on two opposite sides until it fits my Leatherman Wave bit holder. Got one for 6€ instead of 25€ for the Leatherman Extension, and much more compact - love it!

That watch trick is pretty cool! I'd imagine how near or far you are to the equator or poles affect the accuracy?

[@ewakingwood]

If you are close to the poles you can have problems with the needle dipping and the far end hitting the enclosure. You can just tilt the compass instead of holding it parallel with the earth.Apparently, there are southern hemisphere compasses that have their compensation weighting adjusted to keep the needle level when holding the compass parallel with the ground. The compensation on the needle is opposite to that of compasses designed for the northern hemisphere.

Mentions Macgyver, doesn't show any hacks for a SAK. In a pinch, you can use the cap lifter on a SAK with 1/4 inch drive sockets. Had to take a battery out of a family members car, and had plenty of sockets, but no ratchet in the truck. So, got the cap lifter out in the halfway position, put the socket on it, and got the battery out. And if you dont have a dedicated bit driver, you can get a 1/4 inch bit driver to use with most SAK cap lifters. Also, I don't know why i didnt think about using shrink wrap for tool grips, it only makes sense.

[@luc1ferblack]

have you seen pull tape or mule tape? We dont have it in the uk but its a super thin 1800lb line ideal for many things i want some for my motorbike

[@bangalorebobbel]

Good hacks, worth knowing. Just three responses from my POV: a) For many simple uses you don't usually need a bit holder - just hold the bit directly with the plier, and done. b) Combining your neck knife with a firesteel (and maybe some other little items like bandaids, a sharpening stone etc.) by using a ranger band is a great idea if you want to assemble a little backup/survival kit for your car or rucksack and so on. The result is a small unit which contains all you need. But carrying all that stuff always around the neck during your daily hard work in the woods it is surely not what anybody would want, because every extra weight on your neck makes you uncomfortable and tired. And it makes also not really sense, since you might use the firesteel (and/or other items) of this nice kit only once a day or so, whiles you might use your knife all the time, and that's also exactly the reason why you hang that tiny knife around your neck - not for having a whole toolkit in front of your chest but for easy access to a knife. So before putting the heavy kit frustrated away after five minutes of use, just disassemble the great kit in two seconds, hang only the neck knife around your neck, and keep all these fancy other items in your pocket or rucksack or whereever. And when everything is done, you can assemble your great kit again in a blink of an eye. c) You don't need any analog watch for using the sun as primitive compass. If there is sun visible, there is also shadow visible (even from your own body if nothing else is around). And as we all know, the sun rises for those in the Northern Heimsphere in the East, stands around noon a bit in the South, and travels further to the West, before the night starts. So very obviously any shadows shows in the morning towards West, during lunch towards North, and during sunset towards East. You can use this simple knowledge always for your orientation, doing so even comfortably whiles moving (in a car, or whiles running or cycling or skying etc.) without ever lifting your arm and nestling around with your jacket to find your watch ... ;-)

The way I was taught with a watch. Take the time (MILTARY) in your case it was 1430. Divide this by 2= 7.15 Point the 7 at the sun and then 12 points north. It's more accurate than dividing between the hr and the sun.
