My "Real-World" EDC for 24/25

[@tomconway8881]

I’ve watched it again. Picked up more useful information. Thanks.

[@snapdragon2441]

I’m forever handing out safety pins at work, office setting. Why does no one carry these small, simple, cheap items anymore. My son is a young gentleman and always wears an analogue watch, he matches them to his outfit 🤣. Subbed!

Excellent kit Neil! Thanks for sharing ATB 🖖😎

So glad to see the power bank in you EDC Neil. Keep up the good work, take care.

Recently came across a report that suggested Res-Q-Me tools and similar will not work on the side windows of many modern cars. Apparently some car manufacturers have started using laminate glass in the side windows, not just the windscreens. You can find out which your car has by looking at the icon printed or etched onto the glass.

Great content Neil, adding a few of your edc to mine mate, thank you for taking the time.👍 Re the neg comments everyone's a 'kin' expert these days eh 🙄😂

[@joes_craft]

Nice vid Neil. That straight edge looked a bit like a shortened hacksaw blade...which got me thinking about how half a hacksaw blade could slide in my own EDC kit quite happily. A bit of gaffa tape around one end as a make shift handle and you've got something that could get you out of a pickle, cutting through metal objects that wire cutters or typical penknife wood saws couldn't....like these damn handcuffs!

[@HighWealder]

So long as you don't get done for 'going equipped'!

[@muddy11111]

Add a sheet of paper with important phone numbers for when your phone dies and you have to borrow one.

[@russhay422]

Can also put on dog tags.

[@MichaelStuartRandle]

Neil, you EDC is personal(as it should be)AND well thought out. I'd love to know which part of England you call home. I was stationed there in the mid 70s in Norwich and Cambridgeshire.

[@tomconway8881]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@Mugwumps107]

Good video as always Neil, a few kit items I’d never seen before I’d like to add to my kit too.

[@Keith-zx9ey]

The EDC light pouch shows as being sold out on your shop!

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

Nice kit, and it's a shame you can't even carry a multitool. I dont think I could put up with that lol, of course I'm from across the pond but still lol.

[@prado.offroad]

Just ordered the Marksmith titanium pen after watching this😊

[@derekmale1365]

Hi Neil with regards to your citizen eco drive watch what strap did you replace it with thanks in advance

[@greencraft4783]

@@derekmale1365 it's a nato style somebgave me

[@derekmale1365]

I thought it looked like a nato style strap thank you 😊😊

[@anonymous4201]

Hi Neil, new subscriber and love your channel. Going to purchase this tool role based on your recommendation for my mora knives, para cord and fire lighting kit. Can you tell me if the La-Pas knife is better than the BPS knives? I own neither but wouldn’t mind a budget friendly decent knife for general purposes. Thanks

[@greencraft4783]

I am going to be reviewing a new offering from BPS, the Finn Lite in the next few weeks

[@greencraft4783]

I am going to be reviewing a new offering from BPS, the Finn Lite in the next few weeks, wait until you've seen the video.

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Ey up. You mentioned your multi-tool is legal carry as the knife blade isn't locking. Is it 3" or less though as if it's longer than 3" it's still illegal.

[@chrissyayles7175]

That Victorinox Farmer knife blade is probably under 3".. I have the Victorino Huntsman and that's a legal carry as well..

[@jooky5]

That leatherman adapter looks sweet! Do you know the brand?

[@greencraft4783]

Leatherman

[@symmo2]

😂

[@JozefHabent]

Nice setup you have there. But having the locking blade stored away in a pouch not on your body still does not make it legal. The only valid defence is along the lines that you objectively need that otherwise illegal blade for very specific purpose at that particular specific occasion. Even "Oh, I needed it yesterday and forgot to take it out" does not work. I hate that law, I think it is completely misguided, but that is what it is. I carry Victorinox Cybertool 39 to cover for the screwdrivers and the basic tools, then I supplement that with Victorinox Minichamp Lite to add scissors, light and pen. Gerber Vise is good for mini-pliers. If you want larger ones, Leatherman Bond has non-locking blade and is therefore UK-legal (specifically designed for that purpose AFAIK). I have Leatherman Wingman in my side-of-the-road bicycle repair toolbox which I carry sometimes, but I have removed the locking blade from it completely not to violate that law. Really be careful about that even with the pen - suggesting that you plan to use it as a weapon (regardless of the reason, self-defense or otherwise) may get you into trouble in UK. That law covers any weapon, including the make-shift ones, such as your pen. Just have a pen for the sole and only purpose of writing things down. (Note: I am not a lawyer and i am not capable of providing any legal advice. The above is only a summary of what I have read and you should do your rely on any part of it - make your own research and come up with your own conclusions.)

[@vevenaneathna]

its not actually an EDC review if the tools and everything are not scratched and scuffed. showing off pristine items is just a gear review. great video m8

[@ilbitwoods]

Why do people insist that things aren't being used if they're not dirty and scuffed? I take care of my gear and don't have many or any (depending on the item) wear marks on them. Doesn't mean they don't get used. Also, EDC is everyday carry, which doesn't necessarily translate to every day use. I carry a pen with me every day, but, living in the digital age, I only use it twice a year. Carrying gear protected by pouches and sleeves only means taking care of your gear. Nothing wrong with that.

[@vevenaneathna]

@@ilbitwoods ya youre the type of person to get mad at a defensive pistol class for being told to throw your gun into gravel on the first day

[@choltzapple]

​@@ilbitwoods Agreed, some people take far too much pride in not taking care of/ maintaining their stuff.

[@ilbitwoods]

@@vevenaneathna that's completely beside my point. There's nothing wrong with used looking gear - it's just not a set standard nor a real world tell sign if and how other people use theirs. Your defensive pistol analogy is very specific to that scenario and doesn't apply to any of the shown items.

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

I used to agree with that mentality until I had collected over 100 pocket knives and over 100 fixed blades and realized that none of them get carried more than a couple times per year.

[@damedicmt]

35 minutes a tad bit long! : ( And I don't understand, why... "The holding off" of showing the item straight away? = Is it for Anticipation value? Alright already - show the item and move onto the next one. Because = I almost just left this video and on moved on to the next video and did not want to comment or "thumbs up" or anything. But, I commented and liked your video nonetheless, as I thought you had some nice items in your EDC. Good stuff = Just, move it along a little quicker in the future! No waiting to reveal your Items!
