Hello: I live in Portland Oregon USA and I just found your channel. It has some of the best quality items I've seen in a while. Every time I watch your channel I find myself shopping so it is that good at separating me from my money. Good show! Thank You very much for the information keep up the good work.

As an Aussie, we aren't allowed guns, bear sprays or knives, so milk crates are the main weapon. Though once a shopping trolley was used to take down a man with a knife attacking people outside a train station. I like the idea of the defence spray, does it come in other colours?

Jon, The Monocle in 3.00 is $52.00 USD and shipping to the USA (standard shipping) is a crazy $52.00 USD and using the discount code only gives 5% off not 10%. Could you advise why the shipping is so seeing the monocle is so lightweight and why the discount is 5% not 10%. I think the shipping is wrong and I know the discount is incorrect. Could you check this out and advise? Thank You Charlie

Hi Charles - I asked your question and here is the feedback: The discount is correct at 10%. It doesn't discount the shipping costs which will be why he has calculated it to 5%. The shipping cost is high because we only use UPS tracked service as we stopped using Royal Mail due to many shipment errors going abroad and poor tracking internationally. We don't do a non tracked option because we have been burned with that on too many occasions internationally. I know this doesn't really help but they have had so many packages lost in the past that they will only now used tracked UPS to the USA 🙁

Very nice to find the sights in a handgun or shotgun in the dark. One downside, the tritium has a 15 year half-life, and gets pretty dim after that.

Hi Jon, the self-defence foam might be of minimal use against a single assailant, as you rightly indicate, but worse than useless against more, because of the time taken to properly discharge. Conversely, even a one second squirt of pepper spray can incapacitate a determined attacker, so it is dangerous to suggest there is any comparable stopping power. Alternatively, here the UK, we are limited to a brolly, a tickling stick, or a blinding flashlight. 👍

All very valid. I don't recall suggesting the paint was comparable - just better than nothing at all (or a tickling stick!)

I used to carry a monocle as a fine print reader when traveling. I also hacked a circular pill case by removing the chambered interior creating a single chamber and cushioned via glueing in thin foam within the lid and bottom case interior. The average sized monocle fits perfectly and the case is small enough to fit in the watch pocket of your jeans. Eventually I moved on from the monocle, and currently use a product called ThinOptics. It's a super thin, flexible reader that grips the bridge of your nose. It's small enough with carry case to fit in your wallet. The carry case is the size of a credit card, and about 3 or 4 credit cards thick. I still use the monocle if I dress up and want some extra style points.

Matthew 6:19-24 - "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Start working for God, you can be stacking up treasure in heaven RN. If you are not a follow of Messiah I would recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. This world and the things in it are temporary. Belief in Messiah does not grant you salvation, you have to follow His commands and Obey Him also - Matthew 7:22, John 3:3, John 3:36

For lighters, can’t say enough good about the IM Corona old boy. I’ve collected lighters for decades and it’s by far the nicest soft flame butane I’ve found. Extremely well put together and every aspect is impressive apon close inspection. Have owned one for 6-7 years, use it daily and have run many cans through it. It also has a nice capacity, holding about as much as a bic, stays lit hands free and doesn’t heat up much with extended use, meaning it’ll work as an emergency candle for a few minutes if you need.

Re: Vintage-style lighters. Have you tried a rope lighter, also called a sailor’s lighter? It uses a piece of literal rope as the fuel, instead of kerosene or butane fuel. When you light it, you get more of a smoldering ember than a flame, but it’s still good for lighting a pipe or campfire tinder or whatever. The great thing about it is that the ember simply will not blow out. It is the closest thing to totally windproof I’ve ever seen. Besides, you can pretend you’re on the deck of an old clipper ship.

People with wives/daughters: My sister wouldn’t carry a blade for safety no matter what I got her. Buying a Pepper Spray kit on Amazon that came with an extra can that was water (to learn to practice) she’s used and actually keeps in her purse. I’ve trained her to use it and she knows to only pull it when it’s getting shot. Do not pull as a deterrent or you’ve just given up your element of surprise. I digress.. get and train your more venerable family to use OC Spray. I recommend Sabre brand CS Tear Gas. It works and can save a life. One thing.. it doesn’t spray how you’d imagine.. so get the practice shooter kit and you’re set. Sabre on Amazon sends brandy new cans with a six year shelf life.. $40 gets you four cans and can save your life so consider buying some to have around the house, car and purse.

Check out ThinOptics or similar for "emergency" eyewear. I have a very thin piece stuck on the back of my phone case and it's been incredibly useful without adding any significant weight or volume to my edc. Also, I'm so glad I don't live in a country that makes it illegal to defend myself and I have to consider "painting" an attacker. 🤦🏻‍♂ That retro lighter is awesome. Love that style, too.

I don't know how well sealed the steam punk lighter is but the problem I have with Zippos is that the fuel evaporates so unless you regularly use and refill it there's often no fuel left when you come to use it.

Great video drawing together many interesting and tempting items of EDC. I have a fair few of the bits and bobs you discuss but I don't have a monocle :) Err, well it had to be done.....an excellent opportunity idea not only as a slightly eccentric statement but actually something far more practical for occasional use when out and about. Many thanks.

Hi Jon, time for me to revisit some of your olders videos...I spent a few days away from big city, and on many occasions i found that using my smartphone as a torchlight was not good enough... Also one of my co travellers broke her glasses and desperately needed a glue stick to fix them (I am not making that up) -; The filtered water bottle would be nice too /) So i am going to look into your survival kit :-)

The radioactive dose given off by the tritium key fob is inconsequential next to taking a long flight, living in Edinburgh (yes, the granite is radioactive), or in Cornwall (same reason). I've worked with radiation for over 20 years, and although it can be seriously harmful, there's a lot of fear around it if you don't understand it. You only need to be concerned about dose over time. High dose over a short time, or small dose over a very long time. This fob's emission means it doesn't last long enough, and your life is too short, to it to cause you any harms.

I really like all of the Braun lighters. They were made from something like 1971 until the 80s. I personally have a Mach 2 which used to be a mid tear model in Brauns lineup and can be found for about 40€ used today though there are also more expensive ones like the Linear that sell in the hundreds today. Generally I really like all of the Braun devices from that era as they didn’t just produce shavers but also speakers, calculators, watches, TVs, … and lighters because of their simplistic and bauhaus like design.

Thanks Jonathan, great video as always. Please consider only quoting prices in GBP! Most EDC videos are from the States and it's fantastic to have a Brit reviewing kit like this. I realise you want to appeal to our friends in the USA, but it's not difficult to convert currency (and USD and GBP are virtually the same anyway!). Keep up the fantastic content. (I can't believe I'm actually considering getting a monocle!)

Matthew 6:19-24 - "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Start working for God, you can be stacking up treasure in heaven RN. If you are not a follow of Messiah I would recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. This world and the things in it are temporary. Belief in Messiah does not grant you salvation, you have to follow His commands and Obey Him also - Matthew 7:22, John 3:3, John 3:36
