My Gentleman's Everyday Carry Essentials (EDC)

[@JonGadget]

Let me know what you would like to see more of on the channel in the future?

[@cytherians]

Great job here, Jon! Lots of interesting EDC items to consider. Regarding pens, one problem I have with bolt-style and click types is the open front... which can be a bit of a problem for inks that are more fluid than the old style viscous ballpoint ink--they dry out faster. To counter that, I prefer a capped pen. I strongly suggest you take a look at Spoke Design. I'm particularly partial to the Roady XL, with its impressive design and magnetic cap feature.

[@SasquatchHunter1]

Hey Jon! Have loved your content for a while now.... Definitely the best EDC Chanel in terms of knowledge and quality ect. I would love to see more EDC Videos catered to certain careers for example, I am in the Police Academy and would love a "Best EDC for Police Officers" video. Keep up the great work!

[@jackseceng]

Hey Jon, loved your content for a while now. I must have spent waty too many hours researching the perfect EDC bag. I have managed to put together something that works well for my everyday uses, all thanks to a lot of your recommendations. In terms of future content, I would love more ideas around items to carry for music, electronics and computer enthusiasts. Useful items that can help troubleshoot a computer, or malfunctioning electrical item (such as a faulty vacuum cleaner, which I recent had to help someone with when it failed while I was at their house, luckily my EDC included a useful HOTO brand screwdriver set that let me take it apart) So basically, more videos on items like that

[@DavidBakker]

A diy / 3D printed edc special?

All your content is interesting especially the EDC stuff. Could find the link for GAW. ❤

[@nontastic]

I would like to see EDC for the car, such as impromptu picnic, stuck at a friends house over night, compact emergency gear, and other things along those lines

[@aldever4968]

That called a car go bag.

Stuck at a friend's house...I just have my gym bag in my trunk with gym clothes (double as PJs) and street wear. Sample size of everything and one dose of medication/contact solution and case. Car...look up Get Home Bag

I’m a 28 year old woman and I’ve been following you for a few years now. I love this kind of content, and I’m sure my boyfriend loves the gifts I give him because of you. Actually, one of the first perfect gifts he ever gave me was a tiny flashlight similar to your rovyvon’s. Thank you Jon!

[@SayMcGillicuddy]

I really appreciate your budget conscious EDC content. That said, I'd love a 'money no object' companion piece...perhaps then comparing and contrasting the two. Thanks for all you do

[@yokosomike]

Never forget the simple “handkerchief” or small towel. One thing I pack and use all the time is a folding shoe horn that compactly fits into a little side pocket on my edc bag. I live in Tokyo and we are constantly taking shoes on and off even just to have a dinner at a restaurant. Another Japanese EDC item I carry is a folding fan with the flick of the wrist I have instant AC when walking to and from the train station on a hot day. Lastly, is a pair of nice wooden chopsticks that also fit at the bottom of my bag in a kimono fabric pouch. Great for a weapon if needed or an impromptu picnic with your girly friend. Domo arigato.

[@jordanthompson5233]

my favorite content that brought me to your channel is you travel kit videos. I love seeing your updated get me out of trouble kits

[@nieven6768]

My favourite videos of yours are the EDC/travel videos which actually thinks about usability and practicality. Also, I think Jamie should come back for a fun video again soon. Love the interaction between you two!🤩🤣

[@callmeishamael]

I’d love to see more videos on bags and other organizational tools. Tech bags, slings, backpacks, pouches, whatever! I always love the presentation and approach to your reviews and look forward to new releases!

[@donnierogers3299]

It was definitely a breath of fresh air seeing the attention to detail. I live in Texas and have a multitude of wares yet no real way to collectively combine all in a classic yet decorative style. The misses would definitely notice. Nice!

[@ethantwaddle3193]

My favourite content has always been your travel content especially your packing list from around a year ago. I enjoy watching all your different kits videos for different ones for different environments and situations (favourite kit being your Urban Essentials series or your car kit). Love the content and than you for another amazing video!

[@JonGadget]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@IliFree]

I can never get enough of your Kit videos(the ready to go pouches), they are a lot of fun and give people inspiration to do their own. I would also love to see more of the competitions you do with your editor, there are only a couple so far, but there should be a lot more.

[@egbluesuede1220]

honestly this is my favorite type of content, the classy side of EDC. My carry goes into more professional environs, and I consider myself a gentleman and EDC geek.

[@stephencooper315]

You mean there are two of us!? Maybe we should form a club? 😮

[@gallowaystx]

It didn’t occur to me until this video but - edc storage systems/ideas - for those of us who have quietly amassed a lot of kit over the years. That would be helpful as well as interesting. Your content is already class leading Jon, thank you.

[@JohnSmith-kl3nm]

Id love to see a pouch EDC video of items for general day to day problems. Hand warmers, bathroom wipes, tech cables, general medicine, stuff like that, but without the “survival” aspect. No need for a water filter, or a flashlight, or a tool kit, just day to day mishap-solver items for your average city person. Thanks for this amazing video!

[@rjv2241]

No flashlight? It gets dark everywhere 😂

[@JohnSmith-kl3nm]

@@rjv2241 not for most folks living in an city apartment, driving or taking public transit to the office in the morning, stopping at the cafe for a coffee, and coming home at 5:30pm. Many folks don’t need to be turning on a flashlight when there’s literally streetlights everywhere as soon as it becomes sunset. Sooo many people live this type of lifestyle, (and many of them are women with pocketbooks that have everything they need), but for a man without a pocketbook, an EDC setup that caters to basic needs (lip balm, wet wipes, stain removers) would be great, and I’m curious what Jon could think up in a pocketable pouch

[@henrysbiv]

Best EDC channel! Hopelessly addicted to this subject. My favorites are the pens, flashlights and watches, and... just all of it. Thank you.

[@abrelosojos2167]

Classic EDC that should be brought back in to todays life.

[@mikeyfelley]

Another well thought out video Jon well done. For me there’s no need to add what i would like to see more off as your videos are ideal. The varied selection of items are right up my street. Also the fact you provide links to everything blows some other channels out the water. Well Done & keep up the good work Mike

I'd like to see a 2024 version of UK friendly pocket knives

[@AgSmithsilversmith]

I particularly enjoy watching edc kits, carrying a wrap of gorilla tape in my rucksack recently saved me when a puncture on my mountain bike was caused by the tape in the rim of my wheel moving and exposing a sharp edge which was easily covered by a strip of said gorilla, which I've only started carrying after seeing your edc

While I like all the videos, I tend to get more inspiration from the “kit”videos. The travel kits have given me lots of good ideas.

[@michaelfey6779]

I enjoy these minimalist gentlemen’s carry

[@gpmech7]

KIT videos are my favorite - I always try to get the most functionality out of each piece to improve the overall handiness; more bang for the buck. Your kits have inspired me to build my own. Your recommendation of the RoxyVon A3 has made this my favorite flashlight, and I use it every day.

[@redarrowman]

I have put together several edc carry pouches since watching your channel. Some people think I am crazy until they ask me to get them out of trouble. “Have you a knife or torch lost my keys down the drain” so I would like to see an edc for women to carry dare I say it. Thanks for the content

[@AlisonMGee]

Me too! I use quite a few of Jon's recommendations in my EDC and travel kits and whilst I don't want 'girly' items I do find a few products a bit too military-looking.

[@JohnDoeRando]

I'd like to see more of the edc battles with you and Jaimie, they're entertaining and educational. The "get out of trouble" kits are good as well.

i love your themed videos like this one where you try to come up with a combination that fits a persona. would love to see more of that!

[@dougbotimer8005]

Another good video. I’m struggling to minimize my EDC, yet have everything I need: Phone, knife/tools, cash and cards(credit and medical), lighter, flash, pen & paper, meds. One problem I have is everything must fit in front pockets (except perhaps phone) so I don’t sit on any sciatic aggravating bulges. It isn’t practical to carry a bag either. I do always wear a belt, and have considered a money belt, but not found one I like, nor tools to carry that way.

[@thepunisher9698]

Have you looked at swiss army knives? They have alot of choices that would cover most of what you mentioned, pair that with a minimalist/edc wallet and you're basically good to go😊

[@dougbotimer8005]

@@thepunisher9698 oh yeah, I have several. I got a Compact based on Jon’s review. It is a great tool, but still a little bulkier than I’d like. Perfect would be same tools in a slimmer package.

[@biffy7]

Jon,I’m the US in Pennsylvania, and I truly enjoy your channel. I have a passion for flashlights, multi-tools, and anything power related. The various kits you’ve put together are very helpful, and have given me a lot of ideas. Please do more kits. Also, emergency car items. So many people are unprepared for an emergency in their car.

What I enjoy about your videos is the variety of different gear and gear types covered, so I'd say just keep up the great work and the variety Jon!

[@lesleybeyersdorf5018]

I appreciated this EDC video. I work in an office and I am a graduate student/aspiring philosopher so I don't have too much need for the more rustic tools or tech that edc kits often include. I'm as analog as one can get without losing modern contact with others (Iphone and laptop are my only daily tech) and I love to see videos about pens and notebooks, pouches and bags that are durable but stylish rather than tactical and really appreciate customization in my gear. Thanks for all the content.

I would love to see more gentlemen edc videos. This video has given me ideas on changing what I carry. I'm going to look into the key holder, knife, and wallet.

I’d love to see more of this - EDC for characters like James Bond, Jack Reacher (who famously carries the bare minimum), or even Sherlock Holmes - you mentioned Abraham Lincoln - what would he carry (and might help him avoid the odd assassination attempt). Or, what to carry to survive a night in Jurassic Park, Westworld, or Yellowstone! Would love to see that!

Thanks Jon for the “gentlemen’s” review😊. Love that pocket knife (amongst other things) but expensive as expected. In answer to your question…..keep doing what you’re doing please, because it’s always a pleasure and relaxing and enjoyable to watch. You are the reason I own the Rovyvon A8 pocket flashlight which for me is actually the most wonderful little (tiny) companion torch to have with you on an EDC basis. Ok now I’m going to show my age factor, but in an imaginary world, if I could have had something like that as kid…..it would be equivalent to a Lightsaber!1😂 And also thanks btw to you for your coverage re the U4 Pro, another excellent little EDC product.

Hi Jon, while I appreciate difficult as there's only so much out there, I really enjoy the "unusual" edc content you produce. Things that are different, unique, innovative and stand out from the crowd more. I clicked on this particular video due to the shape of the hip flask of all things. I think after a while you can find a set up that you carry every day and there are only so many packs you can store for emergencies and travel situations, so unique and innovative things can be good to renew an interest in edc and give you something else to play with.

[@FoXxXoT]

I was looking for a hip flask for a very long time but it's hard to find recommendations from anyone respectable like yourself. NOW, what I really want to see you to cover in a video are henks, pocket tissues, pocket squares, hand kerchiefs, however you want to call them, different price points for different qualities from the everyday have many at home with good quality , to special more feature rich buy it for life options. I think it would be an awesome video.
