Kuddus to Ben for doing the entire video and not spilling the coffee (well, that we saw)!

[@benomeara2173]

Power of our great editor ;)

[@VooDoodaddy75]

Also love the gear lab videos and watch every time one drops. I have become a huge fan of your site and the products offered. Really looking forward to fall so I can put my F&T waxed trucker jacket to good use, and my 2 pair of Astorflex boots, and the waxed canvas 6 panel hat I just picked up and.....well, you get the idea. Keep up the great work!

[@Huckberryco]

Hell yeah!!

[@oidokun]

Please do more of this

[@David-hz1od]

Best part of this video is the Moody’s Diner hat. Way to represent the Mid Coast!

[@florianendres4842]

I love the EDC Dump videos, had a lot of good inspiration from them. Whats on the other wrist, some kind of fitness tracker?

[@Huckberryco]

Correct - a Whoop to be exact! Thanks for the feedback, we will keep 'em coming.

[@jasandper]

Man what a stellar backpack

[@paulonelife]

Just found you guys, loving the content and product reviews

[@theGRguy]

amazing custom bag!

[@benomeara2173]

Thank you!

[@Vince-ur7oc]

Any chance the backpack will be available to purchase soon?

[@calebrossin5137]

I love the gear lab videos and watch them every week! I especially love the philosophy that people bring to things as simple as what they carry with them that gives them joy. Even though we all have different careers and past times, it usually rings true for many. MY current favorite EDC piece is the Tech Kit Sling from black ember! Go check it out!

[@benomeara2173]

Love Black Ember. Checking out the TKS now. Looks rad. Thanks for the rec!

[@amdog5055]

He’s one of us boys!

[@gustavoserrano]

Love that watch 🔥 and everything else too 😊

[@matthewscott3689]

Did he say cricket for CRKT? 🤣

[@Huckberryco]

he did and hes already been scolded ;)

[@zure90]

@@Huckberryco GOOOD!

[@RyanGr33n]

That’s what happens when you’re doing a commercial instead of talking about things you know about.

[@WEKetchum]

Hate to be the #wellactually guy here, but those are the Master & Dynamic MW60 headphones, not the MW65. Both of them are fantastic, but the 65 doesn't fold that way. I know multiple people who still swear by the sound of the 60s though, even though the 65 has more features like ANC. This actually makes me want to break out my navy 60s again, haven't used them in a while. They're probably less expensive now, so anyone who likes how these look can probably get a great deal on them. Always trust an M&D head though, I started using them six years ago and haven't gone back 💪🏾 Fantastic collection of items here. Glad I came across the video!

[@Huckberryco]

Good eye!

[@talkingalbums]

What was the music in this episode? Thanks!

[@a.s.2426]

How is the Francli bag holding up?

[@Huckberryco]

Over a year later, and it's still one Ben's favorites bags!

[@BasedHyperborean]

1. CRKT is NOT pronounced "cricket." It's C-R-K-T. Columbia River Knife and Tool. 2. You can and absolutely should have EDC videos that don't show the overpriced nonsense from James Brand.

[@RyanGr33n]

Agreed. James Brand is a joke

[@chriskeating5926]

Song ?

[@heathwerrett33]

Its not cricket its CRKT as in columbia river knives and tools

[@Huckberryco]

Good call out! Ben has been saying CRKT ever since 😂

[@harukayanase]

エルモのTシャツ😆👍

[@MrEdgy81]

Where is your medical? Boo Boo kit- bandaids, antibiotic and OTC meds. Trauma kit- tourniquet, hemostatic, tape and gloves at the minimal. Medical is the most overlooked item is everyones EDC yet should be your first concern next to water. While I understand these videos are to promote products it would be nice to see some edc items that are not brand new and off the Huckberry shelf.. Its also not "Cricket" it's CRKT (see-arr-kay-tea)

[@Huckberryco]

GREAT callout on the Medical gear! Must stay prepared PS - Ben has been sufficiently hazed by the team for his pronunciation of CRKT

[@benomeara2173]

Yes, great callouts on both fronts. Thanks for the really good feedback and for keeping me honest!

[@MrEdgy81]

@@HuckberrycoTBH, he is not exactly wrong. Cricket is old slang mainly used by ex-militarily. The knife known as the M-16 from CRKT was very popular with service members over the past many many years and it became known as the cricket.

[@jerrysalseda2096]

Does not feel real.

Where’s your gun?
