I really loved this vid. Felt nostalgic for your early years! I actually will be picking up some of those tins and putting some mini kits together. Love your channel!

[@kevinhinojoza]

I like this updated Altoids can kit! I still have mine in my car from the last time you made a video about it and I actually used mine just the other day. Definite game changer 😎

[@HollywoodTacticool]

nice to see the evolution of these altoids kits. i have multiple varioations too

[@TylerOKC]

You should consider always carrying a 325 mg asprin. It can be a life-saving pill to keep on you in case of heart attack (you or someone else). Non-coated, chew well and swallow in case of emergency.

[@AlysVintageCameraAlley]

Exactly what I’ve recently added to mine for that reason

[@TJR1213]

ive started carrying asprin and narcan on me just incase never know when you may run into a case where you may need them

[@maxsanchez5399]

Nice video Taylor!!! Thanks for putting this together!!! The one thing I have not seen before is the Mini Ratchet Wrench - 711L. I've needed one for a while I'm going online and buying one THANKS!!!

[@yannicsteebsamsung]

Great Video Taylor 👍 I have the Trio as well and I use the smallest tin in my work suit case for medicine and needles, as well as band-aids 👍

[@silvercat7599]

I enjoy learning your tricks and hacks. I've improved and updated my EDC ever since watching your channel. Thanks for the tips and ideas. 🤙

[@BestDamnEDC]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@StudioNeat]

Blown away by everything you were able to put into this kit!

[@timmyI115]

I like the top 10 phone numbers in these kits and spare cash.

[@utooberrookie]

If everything has to go in a certain order perhaps you should put a diagram on the topside to show how to put everything back in

[@BestDamnEDC]

It's pretty easy to remember after the second time or so

[@Mawyman2316]

@@BestDamnEDC what if you’re trudging through three feet of snow while also baking in the post apocalyptic nuclear sun, with bandits shooting from every corner. Won’t be so easy to remember then…

[@olightworld]

Great video sir👍Thanks for sharing the imini.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Thanks! It wasn't until after this was uploaded that I realized there was a rechargeable version

[@malthuswasright]

Some nice products in there. A Swisscard fits nicely into an Altoids tin, so there's your pen, scissors, tweezers all in one plus a multitool (of sorts - I wouldn't want to use it for any serious work), magnifier and toothpick. And if you get the nailcare version you get decent file instead of the blade, which you'd probably not use anyway.

[@the_swinging_axe]

Your content is awesome, Taylor. I've been watching and into edc since covid started. It's been like 4 years! Damn. Keep up the videos like you always have. It's all fun. Thanks man.

[@user-gj1tf6hf9o]

Here’s me watching this with my positive Covid test

[@the_swinging_axe]

@@user-gj1tf6hf9o damn dude, get better soon! I hate covid. Buy yourself a knife.

[@donaldstrader7241]

The MQR V3 Urban Carvers magnet may be better, but it just reminded me of another that would fit in there, besides the usual suspects. Although they now seem perpetually out of stock when I happen to think to look, I bought a package of Ring shaped Neodymium Magnets at Home Depot. They stick so well they are hard to pry off. So I attached a small loop of Spectra or Dyneema line/cord to them, which is made possible by the aforementioned ring shape. This makes them easy to pull off to use. They would fit flat on the lid, and the ring also makes them easy to attach to a retrieval line.

[@thebeardedmantravels394]

Great set up. Also love the bum bag

[@davidbendig961]

replacing the micra with a nextool mini flagship or a victorinox is a no-brainer for me. It works well and you get the good tools that you need and like.

[@mvincent5621]

The magnets out if hammmers or tapes are great , having a. Magnet that fits on your tape is great for retreiving hardware

[@craigshelton5903]

Excellent!

[@cjtaylor1977]

I'd like to see the other kits Living in London UK situations are less IF they happen more WHEN. So, I am trying to be prepared. It's hard in an urban environment so this type of content gives me good ideasto change out my kits . Thank you.

[@pretentiousname01]

Look up “Jon Gadget” he is UK based and does a lot of kit stuff

[@jonathanwatson268]

I carry a Micra down in my knife pocket and I think it gets used more than my knife. I almost never need tiny pliers but I often need scissors, a pry bar, a Phillips driver, and tweezers.

[@jwhitehouse100]

I have a leather style PS in one of my kits, but the Victorinox classic is smaller has better scissors and a tooth pick and pair of tweezers so wouldn’t that be a better option? Great clip love the ideas and tools you suggest

[@brandonlowe3299]

The Tac-N-Tweeze are an essential part of my edc ever since I found them. They come in handy all the time at work for splinters and are almost unnoticeable in the pocket

[@elflakeador09]

I've always just used the tip of my knife

[@brandonlowe3299]

@elflakeador09 yeah that is a way to do it but knife tip sucks for metal splinters and with others it is nice to have a dedicated tool

[@elflakeador09]

@@brandonlowe3299 I've been using lathes and milling machines for 20 years now and I've always used my knife, but sure it's horses for courses, nice to have something dedicated

[@JPBTheLegend]

MacGyver was awesome. I thought those tins look cool but I have a couple. I will pick some up in the future.

[@nellosnook4454]

1. Consolidating several EDC items in a single storage container makes sense. 2. I use durable leather pouches in my vest pockets for this purpose.

[@Every_Day_Aaron]

That ratchet driver is really cool!!

[@Countryboy071]

Good kit 😊

[@eliudm472]

Nice Useful and Compact 🔥🔥

[@BestDamnEDC]

Glad you think so! 🤘🏻

[@user-gq3vz6gv6d]

I recommend you getting a Leatherman juice cs4 it has folding pliers instaid of scissors

[@presidentpotato222]

Got the counter Custody kit on the way from your last video you did on it

[@mat-mat-mat-mat]

My current six items for my large BDEDC tin. 1. Civivi Baby Banter 2. Gerber Dime 3. Full size Bic. (Should change it out for a mini) 4. Olight mini 5. Rite in the rain Puka pen 6. Rite in the rain sheets The Middle tin is a med kit and the small one a pill holder.

[@Mawyman2316]

Nothing shows up when I search BDEDC tin, can you tell me what that is?

[@HappyOrwell]

Insane little micro kit. Makes me wanna put a tin together. Mine currently just has bandaids and alcohol wipes

[@KingGinjaNinja]

Instead of the spectra cord, you should use Atwood Rope’s Micro Cord. It’s cheaper and has more then twice the weight limit

[@martykauffman]

Oh that’s a lot of cool stuff

[@BestDamnEDC]

Glad you think so 🤘🏻

[@alanflint2135]

Excellent vid

[@BestDamnEDC]

Thank you!

[@jonathanrecio9360]

Definitely want to see the mini grooming kit

[@anthonyhowell4090]

Loved watching, does anyone happen to know what the knife in the thimbnail is? It looks gorgeous

[@2wheeltango]

Will the cursor’s cut the spectra line though?

[@glenchilada]

If all you're using is the scissors, I would definitely replace that micra with the victorinox swiss card replacement scissors

[@michaelfuentes8101]

A Mini Champ should be in every edc kit, especially the small ones!

[@BestDamnEDC]

It's one of my favorite SAKs but they've been discontinued sadly

[@michaelfuentes8101]

ah bummer@@BestDamnEDC

[@GingerCG]

This was a cool video! I hope you decide to show us what is in the other two tins!

[@BestDamnEDC]

That's the plan!

[@dank.4018]

What kind of smart watch do you wear?

[@I_Of_Providence]

MacGuyver LARPing kit 🤣😂🤣😂 some great gear there that i haven't seen before. especially the lockpick set with the handcuff key.

[@BestDamnEDC]

I mean, you know he'd be proud. lol

[@Pterodactylus548]

as for scissors - Swiss Tool Lite cards scissors are less bulky than Leatherman...

[@briar6851]

what knife is that on the table in the thumb nail to this video?

[@Joinordie718]

I like this 👍

[@SAYAJIN0815]

Good content as usual! And then I forget where I put it 😂

[@TheN00bWarrior]

One of the silliest EDC trends but I love watching these XD

[@BestDamnEDC]

I will never not love stuffing a small tin with the tiniest gear I can find. lol

[@TheN00bWarrior]

As people with 5 knives and 3 lights and 2 multitools and all this crap on us at all times it's not like I can judge an offshoot I think is silly 😂 more content is more content, exited to see you beat up some more knives that video was cool

[@presidentpotato222]

New olight version with Usb charge connection built in .. just plug into a usb Charger or laptop .. power pack

[@grinning_owl]

Great kit! The only thing I would add would be single-edged razor blade, a fish hook, and a piece of char cloth.

[@Countryboy071]

Great for general survival I agree. I think this was urban edc.. probably no need for fish hook and char cloth ? I use these in my spanker outdoor pouch. Good to add a couple of nails and some braided wire ? 👍

[@DylanLey]

Those Kolony Collective tools are cool!

[@BestDamnEDC]

Agreed! I saw them on IG and had to have one

[@Marlah4]

I Need one of those. Super cool item

[@steelrhodes6563]

Could I put grim workshops cards in these tins from the website

[@prepperinthewoods]

Where did you get your wedding ring from?

[@jiraiyaboi10514]

I'd like to know where he found that mini tin to fit the ratchet

[@kathys53]

Wow--how many locks are you going to pick LOL

[@Ghost-hi1dw]

What is none of those existed What would you use

[@briansimmons3577]

A suitable replacement for the micra is the sog power pint its a really good set of pliers with decent tools on it plus it can be used as a 1/4 bit driver

[@seanleahy2088]

What’s that knife in the thumbnail?

[@BoltonOverlander]

Tape the blades to the inside of the top

[@bugsandbrushes]

Edc videos give off such an arts and crafts or stationery lover vibe. 😊

[@SteveHinrichs]

Maybe I missed it, but I would replace the sharpe with a flint to start a fire.

[@LiqdPT]

Need to start fire in an urban environment a bunch?

[@erikl3528]

I have an issue with the Micra in any edc kit. Before I go into that, though, thanks for putting out some great content. I always get at least a couple ideas about great products, or streamlining my edc from your videos. I have to say, though, the Micra is a bad tool. The scissors are flimsy on both of mine. Leatherman also recently raised the price from ~$35 (iirc) to $50. A much better tool, and this is just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many other, maybe better, options, is a Victorinox Classic SD Alox. I'd have to go dig a Micra out to compare size, but I'm 99% certain the SAK is smaller, and has much better scissors, plus a very similar tool set.

[@AstroxZombie]

I'd get the Rambler or Manager. Rambler has been my go to since 2009

[@Adam.297]

I really like the mini ratchet. Looks like it is currently unavailable, though.

[@BestDamnEDC]

It wasn't last week. 😅

[@The_RC_Guru]

@@BestDamnEDCI’ve been looking for an hour and can only find one place that sells it, that’s on Amazon and the shipping says it takes weeks.

[@khamen723]

Instead of a tin that you need to expand, my kit is the Viperade VE20 bag that fits all that stuff inside. 🎉

[@ShadowjenkinsInc]

I would say, trade the multitool for the victorinox card nailcare if all you care about is the scissors

[@MikeT-yt4ql]

That was the most honest review of the Micra ever it's so freaking mediocre

[@All_Will_Be_Crab]

Bring back whiskey knife fight!

[@Mawyman2316]

as someone who usually has to put the flashlight under my chin, that little one would not be very useful lol

Garmin MARQ Adventurer (the old version)

[@HikingWithTumTum]

You don’t need fire starter in your survival kit when you have an awesome beard like that.

[@rotflol6666]

Put a SwissCard Lite and a Victorinox Midnight Manager USB in there to replace some of the stuff, takes a lot less space and better quality scissors, builtin emergency lighting, blade, nailfile, etc., will do better on a lot of the problems with the micra. Having it in my EDC saved me a lot of times. Can store important documents on the USB (dobule sided USB-A and USB-C) drive too, mine is a bootable emergency workstation!

[@tonymendestv]

Epic, and altoid in the same sentence 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣😛

[@pretentiousname01]

You know its gonna be good when he cheats by having stuff strapped to the outside

[@BestDamnEDC]

🤪

[@lecherojr]

It sounds like all you’re using from the micra is scissors, if that’s the case maybe the replacement scissors from the Swiss card would be better for you? You can hold them closed with an o ring, bit of straw or shrink wrap.

[@justincalley7520]

No lighter or way to spark?🤨🤨

[@nellosnook4454]

I agree. ALWAYS have a means of ignition.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Not something I typically put in an urban kit

[@kc8189]

"works on trucks" has 3 lockpick sets

[@gallindolucas]

TBH the most realistic EDC I have ever seen. The best part for me were the lockpicks, those thingies have avoided trouble for me a couple times.

[@puppiesarepower3682]

How is it realistic? It comes across as a rich kid's 10 year old stash kit for playing detective. ...TBH of course.

[@gallindolucas]

The actual rich kids like Jon Gadget carry stuff like tinder and fishing hooks in their urban EDC... In comparison this one has a piece of disposable nail file instead of a customized Victorinox. I have been doing lots of impromptu maintenance (furniture, desktop computers, videogames, random household machinery) and the expensive things like the Wiha bits and the 711 ratchet shave off a lot of time from the work. I have used lockpicks to open padlocks whose key was trashed, without much fuss, more than once in the past months (the neighbors would have a fit if they saw me cutting the padlocks with a bolt cutter) and I actually wish to learn more about them, cringe makers not withstanding. I do miss, in his kit, some USB cables and adapters - possibly an charger and external battery too - , I use those at least once a week.

[@spyderg6509]

Yo broski, Im hearing some hate or something toward you. did you piss somebody off? Why are knife reviewer channels asking if your bad for the knife community? like you are some villain.first im hearing about it. Im in the dark i didnt know there was a requirment to be apart of the knife community lol... Wassup with this grimey talk about you bro. 🤷🤔

[@BestDamnEDC]

It's mostly just an excuse to put my name in the title of their videos

[@spyderg6509]

@@BestDamnEDCI didn't know there were gatekeepers for the knife community lol...keep it pushing 🤙

[@khangphantruong]

3 lockpicks in 1 set is an overkill.

[@dane1647]

Needs a lighter

[@davidburgess5689]

Plier based multitools are worthless. A 111mm or 130mm SAK and a dedicated plier(I prefer a tiny set of vicegrips) are the way to go. If you wanna carry a plier based too in addition, that actually makes sense, but not as the primary.

[@keepsurviveu]

f... EDC is not for survival. Survival is different. EDC can be part of survival but not core.
