MICRO EDC Gear | Light Summer Everyday Carry

[@ManoloVintage]

I carry a sword, handkerchief, candle, piece of flint, dagger, sun dial, Tudor flat cap and a billfold.

[@adambutson5466]

What backpack did you end up getting for your EDC?

[@censusgary]

15 minutes on the bright mode? That sounds like minimal utility.

[@vasilikivlastaras5255]

james brand is overpriced hipster junk! so many brands out there offering minimalistic designs for less. the elko is $60 for a similar steel to 440A. sad.

[@edcdad1124]

I own a Elko and it's a great little knife. Quality is good .,

[@cynthiabreault6891]

I. Carry the RovyVon Aurora A5 UV flashlight. It’s very small, easy to recharge, and I really like its functionality. I prefer clicking to twisting i/o and the double click keeps it from clicking itself on.

[@ligitmuffin]

I just lost mine today :( have to buy another ASAP

[@seniorxj2931]

Hell Yeah!!

[@eliansalinas7022]

The A5 is SUCH a good flashlight. Extremely overpowered for its size, extremely lightweight, extremely versatile. Goes with me literally everywhere, every day, at all times. Adore this light. I have the red light version. Red light is nice in the military

[@nathanbain691]

When are we gonna see your watch collection in a dedicated vid?

[@stevem863]

Got to change a bit with the seasons. As a watch enthusiast, I wear my bracelets and rubbers in the summer, and my leather and canvas straps in the winter.

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Anti gear wallets elastic slim small minimal and USA made and really good people

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

As someone who's carried the tgt nightcall 2.0 for a while and as someone who gets hot and sweaty during summer: It will start to smell. Not like old sneakers from 5 feet away, but you might end up like me and ask yourself "what's that stench?" That's the downside of a flexible wallet, also the makers don't recommend washing it, so you'll have to live with it

[@mcho3121]

I know your comment is a couple years old, but wanted to put a suggestion out there for Soak wash. It’s a no rinse soap that was designed for lingerie and you just soak the item in it and good to go. I used it on my stretchy elastic Apple Watch band which can also develop a smell if worn too long and it worked well just by soaking it.

[@jayandgato3723]

Just unboxed my Elementum (black G-10) yesterday and I love it! I was able to order it from White Mountain Knives last week through eBay. It came with a cool looking little Civivi multitool/prybar and a flight tag for free. I'm also a big fan of the Spyderco Cat and the GITD RovyVon Aurorae (I have the A5 in green and just grabbed the A7 in blue with UV).

[@Kilt_Camera_and_Carry]

Key Chain Carry: Tale of Knives Podster with Airpods G2, keys with a Pangea Designs Prylobite and an Olight i1R 2 EOS attaches ... my ideal micro carry for the summer.

[@TheAZchambers]

Try out the MIDNITE mini champ swiss army, has a pen and little flash light

[@naruto9tails15]

I low-key want to start edcing a fanny pack to just to keep my pockets empty. Plus I could carry my gun when I want to wear shorts that don't have belt loops

[@RegularRetro]

Slippery slope

[@kydd666]

*nutnfancy has joined the chat

[@jaycowper]

@@kydd666 Yeah, for real. Just don't get a cheesy one. Maybe call it a waist pack, err away from the fanny pack nomenclature.

[@kydd666]

@@jaycowper hands free belt satchel?

[@Tation16]

Just wear some jorts. Have the pockets to carry and the shorts to stay cool during hot days. Stone Cold Steve Austin makes them look cool and I’m sure they will be cool if men start to wear them.

[@tass8495]

I'm in the same climate. RADIKL SHORT from Kuhl rule

[@Countryboy071]

Why do these titles sound increasingly more like designer fashion goods? "Everyday" "summer" "latest" "must have" "hottest" 😂 Ive been in outdoor survival, bushcraft and wild camping for over 40 years. It used to be "use your brain, gain experience" and "carry what you think you need" for any given situation. 😊

[@markkogen5590]

What do you think of the Outdoor Edge SlideWinder for a razor blade knife - very light and inexpensive. Do you like the Civivi Baby Banter? One problem with the Civivi Elementum is the the pocket clip is not reversible for us leftys. Excellent video as always.

[@_Argos]

2016 i buy the space wallet ,after 6 months it was garbage. Then i buy the "znap wallet" , not realy much bigger, with a coin sleve, space for 12 cards and ! a Papermoney sleeve ! it looks like (after 3 Years of every day use) new as the first day i buy it. Have many lights ,but the best of them is also the cheapest ... a aurora clone with a price about 10€ .

[@kydd666]

For a small knife i probably would have gone with a Cold Steel Tough Lite or an opinel

[@josephascroft4774]

Taylor, first of all I really love watching your videos I think they are absolutely fantastic, however I have a slight complaint to make, whenever you are talking about small knives and multitools you always miss out the one far to all others and it seems like you’re doing it on purpose lol, the victorinox midnite manager is perfection 👌

[@benc8362]

Last

[@Mr.Doyles_channel5083]

I had a quiet carry used it for about 6 months, I loved it but the pocket clipped screw broke off inside the hole and the screws kept getting loose. Contacted them about a refund to no avail unfortunately

[@danielballaben1051]

Hey man, Love this video! Thanks for the great content. :) Daniel.

[@RafaRodriguezOfficial]

On the small and light knife front, my top choice is Spyderco Dragonfly 2

[@cjcrook1]

I'll take a RovyVon Aurora A3X over that Olight for $10 more.

[@seniorxj2931]

Hell Yeah!!

[@ajohnson6416]

"Slanted pockets are the devil." LMAO!!

[@midnight_yota]

Can we start a movement or petition for this?! Something lol I'm sick of my shorts pockets in the summer feeling near useless.

[@urbancarvers8974]

Finally trying a QuietCarry! Welcome to the party

[@urbancarvers8974]

What beads are you rocking there?

[@unisurge]

my dumbass thought the knife on your shirt was real and got startled

[@joshualatendresse]

that Marathon watch just looks so sexy on you Taylor. :)

[@BestDamnEDC]

😍🤣

[@kathys53]

I've been using my Squirt PS4 for 13 years. I use it a lot for one thing or another--pliers, screwdrivers and files for the most part. Looks a little beat up, but other than that, it's still going strong. Paid $20 on Amazon back then. Too bad Leatherman discontinued them.

[@cworkman92]

Really want that Elko and Ti mini pen 👀

[@peterc2086]

For my “fifth” pocket I carry a Gerber curve. It’s so small and light I don’t even know it’s there but I am surprised how much I use it on a daily basis. The tools are great for its size and they all lock, which is a feature I love. It’s an older tool so not sure how widely available it is, but you can still find it on Amazon. Great vid btw

[@LazloVimes]

Wait, Big Idea design is coming out with a custom tpt slide for you, that’s awesome :) with that in mind, could you do me a favor? I have emailed them a couple times asking if they would make a stainless steel version of the tpt slide (stainless steel bc; $80 for a little tool like that is hard to swallow for the average person. They could lower the price a bit while increasing their profit margin per unit and make it available to us poor little peasants). They have never responded to me but I feel my reasoning is sound. Anyway, thanks :)

[@geraldmcmullon2465]

Victorinox MiniChamp does not have a pin although you could melt the red scales to fit one. The "emergency blade" (Wharncliffe shape) is very sharp and useful alternative to the pen knife but the additional tools over the Rambler perhaps not worth the weight and cost. If you carry a pen then the one with the MiniChamp and Manager would be duplication. Victorinox Midnite Manager includes a light and ballpoint pen; so two less items to carry.

[@Carloshernandez-kk7dp]

Sigh ... I’m still saving for that Marathon GSAR watch . It looks Great 🤩

[@mdunawaym]

It might be a TSAR. Great watches though!

[@alex16006]

Was it hot in your office again? You look sweaty.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Wow, so kind. Love you, too. 🤣

[@willyfermin]

Exelente vídeo. muchas gracias por compartir.

[@magnolya8]

My daughter is left handed, have you or will you do a edc for lefties please🍒 she really likes the cpkt squid but not optimal for her

[@mauriciovallejo2192]

Hey where did you get those leather loops attached to the multi tools I’m looking for something similar

[@ryejack]

Trying to decide if I'm into the Quiet Carry Shorty. Keys seem to be the hardest thing to slim down because of the damn remote car key. Those things don't fit in any of the key organizers. That said, something like the Shorty could help with all my other normal-sized keys.

[@b-rad5955]

Try the Victorinox midnite minichamp. It’s been my second knife for about 10 years and has served me well.

[@ransombaggins9301]

My ‘almost perfect’ minimalist wallet is the Airo Collective Stealth Razor. LOVE IT! Just needs an eyelet for a chain.

[@jeffluther9701]

Fox knives baby core is another great small knife by Voxnes.

[@chriselliott484]

I have the ir2ios olight but I keep it on my car key with my car foab

[@maxtucker929]

What happened to rovyvon? How come you’ve moved away from the aurora?

[@TenSecondRuntime]

Are credit card multitools viable? I am loving my armored summit trayvax wallet and thought it would be a nice addition to my lightweight edc.

[@stormrider1119]

I’ve been watching your videos from the early days. Thanks so much man for all your hard work related to all things EDC. I uploaded my first EDC video myself today. Any feedback greatly appreciated. Cheers...

[@jmclean281]

CJRB Feldspar Mini is a great summer knife and it's only $35. Got mine last week and love it.

[@dmourati]

Don't front on the nanopen.

[@jacobquinlan8602]

Where did you get the topo blades for your TPT slide??

[@sabeeshsebastian8976]

If the flash light will get in Saudi Arabia If I will order

[@hugo4470]

Are you still going to be only Taylor Martin on YT or keeping it as is?

[@benturner8055]

niceeeeee

[@Batesboards]

can you do a review on the dango edc wallets? like the D01? i think it's called lol. has a notebook and pen slot, as well as holding up to 16 cards and a multi tool

[@mdunawaym]

I just bought that flashlight! Great watch by the way!

[@KSICZEK2]

I actually have the same issue. Comes summer I almost exclusively wear shorts. I found that Kershaw Natrix XS works great as a small EDC flipper.

[@kierdog10]

I carry my Emisar D4V2 all the time. It is bigger but super bright. However, since we are talking summer and lightweight, I have on my keychain an UltraTac K18(370 lumen) with a 10440 in it. Been using the same one about 3 years. Never let me down once. Really bright even if you put a regular aaa in it.

[@siakcis]

would love to see an updated version of this video!

[@manny5292]

Where do you find these cool lanyards I’d love to get my hands on some

[@nicholasraya80]

Try Etsy! I've found a lot of cool lanyard beads from individual makers on there. As for lanyards, You can find tons of different color paracord options on amazon. I don't know where he gets his leather from but I believe he mentions where in his "What Are All Those Lanyard Beads For?" video.

[@manny5292]

Nicholas Raya appreciate you bud

[@ESebastiaanH]

Reduce reuse "ecece"

[@bwunger]

Love my Rovyvon flashlight and either the TRM Neutron or Atom for summer lightweight carry. The Atom is great when you want a long blade but don’t want something bulky and heavy in your pocket.

[@santosarzate3464]

Cold Steel also carries some excellent small blades, among their huge collection of assorted edged tools and weapons. Been my go-to for decades.

[@clieb91]

Nice selection. Love the Shirt, will check them out. I recently picked up a used Midnight Manager from Victorinox makes a great small knife with the extra pen as a back up as well. Replaced my classic, debating on whether the toothpick and tweezers missing is an issue though. CtL

[@davisssamuel]

Neck knives might be an option here to free up space in the pocket

[@Bluenblack17]

I still don't know why I should have a knife with me. Always the same example that you can cut a apple with it. But most of the time I'm eating an apple I'm at home or at work where I have a whole kitchen with a lot of knifes

[@andybones00]

Have you knocked off the TPT Slider? 😯

[@BestDamnEDC]

No. It’s a collaboration made by Big Idea Design.

[@QQ-hm4nu]

I’ve seen you feature handguns before , will you ever be adding one to your edc?

[@bryanroberts4885]

He mentioned that he won’t be featuring guns. I think he said that he had no need for a gun etc and I can respect that

[@derekgraves6879]

Slat pockets are the worst.
