Nutnfancy EDC System Update, 2011

[@Jeepjones85]

I finally went out and bought a fanny pack lol

[@kjperry09]

Because of your EDC videos I have developed my own system. I have found it extremely useful to ALWAYS have my gun, flashlight, and knife on me. Thank you for outstanding videos!

[@pathfinderwoodsman9656]

I know you don't carry a backup, but would you consider carrying a backup like a small NAA .22LR revolver in something like a neck sheath? I understand it is a small caliber, but as stated by Iraqvetran8888, "it's still a gun".

[@Riverboat374]

Col., You are the very definition of what us Army types used to call a "Peter Pilot". I've never seen anyone with a worse case of being a Peter Pilot in my entire life. Keep up the great vids! I love 'em.

[@normrubio]

I know you're crazy busy but how bout a 2014 update to your edc...now that your older and wiser. Lol. Thx man.

[@theforwardadvance]

He just did one in 2013. Look it up.

[@SpdrMnky]

It's nice to know I'm not the typical CCW (CPL here in WA) holder. I've sent over 4000 rounds downrange through my carry pistol, never a hang-up. Also, yes, I like carrying a 9mm for comfort. Thanks for the great vid. Glad I was pointed in your direction. Keep up the good work!

[@mccallatchison3492]

I'm not old enough to carry a gun but my edc is a kershaw cryo leatherman wave fisher space pen bushnell pro flashlight zippo iPhone 4 my keys my wallet para cord bracelet and a Casio forester watch

[@mccallatchison3492]

And some earbuds

[@tannerclark9202]

That's pretty close to what I carry, I also am not of legal age to conceal carry I fire arm

[@baref0ot935]

Love the gear reviews! Especially the knife reviews. They helped me develop my systems. Keep it up Nutn!

[@RedRider1600]

nutnfancy Do you live out in the boonies, the countryside? Or do you live in the suburbs? I'm guessing you are not a city guy. I think you carry way too many knives, overkill, and unnecessary. I would get rid of a few of those knives and carry a 6 in 1 full sized screwdriver set, like the one they sell at Home Depot. The screwdriver can also be used as a weapon and can also be used for prying things open. This is even better than your little titanium crowbar because it gives you much better grip and leverage, AND it is a lot cheaper. And of course, the 6-1 Husky screwdriver set can be very useful for what it is intended for. You don't have that capability in your kit. I carry my Husky 6-1 screwdriver in my fanny pack with the shaft removed to shorten the screwdriver for compact carrying. I also don't remember seeing a lighter in your kit. Flint and steel is good for backup, but a lighter is much easier to use and more practical in most situations. They are also very light and cheap. Did you even have flint and steel? Don't remember seeing that either. And if you carry a pen, why not a notepad? www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-6-in-1-Reversible-Screwdriver-Set-4-Piece-74361/100043138

[@BigRed22557]

Thanks for this vid, Nutn! I had to pause it about 10 minutes in to grab a pen and paper. There were about 5 "Why haven't I thought of that?" moments. Great stuff as always!

[@campfirewhittler]

loved all the knife combos you showed us. It was a fun video. I think this is like my 4th time watching it since Feb.... It's now August. I just love TNP

[@amacro11]

Thanks Nutnfancy I've learned something new today- worth watching again!

[@74Hobbes]

Great job with update bro! Gave me a few new ideas that I hadn't even thought of before for my EDC. Currently it's the Persistence, Tenacious, Preon 2, Leatherman ST300 and my G23 (IF I'm not around my son's school). Thanks bro and keep up the great work!

[@k3nm3ist3r]

"look how my nylon utensils dominate!" Hahaha! I love it, I thought I was the only person that carried stuff like that, mine is a light my fire spork, kept in my bag though not in my pocket. Thanks for the update Nutn!

[@ubioubiestveritas]

Hey there, Nutnfancy. Outstanding video once again. I really like the search bar thumbnails. Mentioned your channel to Leatherman when I sent my Wave back for warranty work. Keep up the good work.

[@duQhunter]

I like the stuff you carry, I always have a multi tool and knife, cell phone, and small first aid kit. Building a EDC bag with more stuff and re-doing my carry permit.thanks for all your work

[@simpleman2423]

EXCELLENT update. Could tell you were having fun which really kept my attention. Poor gerbels.

[@boomer16323]

Do you have an alternative holster to the shoulder holster for your PF9 concealed carry, other than belt clip? Did you make the backing piece for the belly band Kahr 9 holster? I find needing to have a t-shirt between the belly band and my skin.

[@ianarno]

I'm glad I came across your channel a while back, I used to carry only a folding knife, in addition to wallet, keys, cell phone. I take my Streamlight stylus, Juice S2 and Kabar Dozier folder with me literally everywhere now (and CCW when my permit comes back in the mail.) I was just laughing when you were talking about "saving the day." I almost always have the items I need and I especially get a kick out of it when people who criticize ask sheepishly for "umm, that pair of pliers you have," e

[@MrSuperVik]

Great video, nutnfancy. I find it quite entertaining the way you talk about all the practical aspects of everyday gun-carrying. Here in Norway, even the police dont carry guns at a daily basis. God forbid if the next "virginia tech" happens here.... keep up the good work.

[@michaelglenn7344]

Nutnfancy, I Know this video is a little old, But I am looking for an EDC Bag I have been looking into the Maxpedition Remora and it seems to be perfect for my need. Are there any similar sling type bags that maybe a little more cost effective?

[@max-zv7sf]

Very interesting video. Just one question. Is there any 'risk' for the nylon spoon to melt and leave bad taste on very hot food?

[@lvsports28]

i carry the pf9 because of all of your reviews. Very happy with it !

[@TadRapidly]

I looked at the VIBE II on this recommend and I bought one. It now holds the core of my wilderness kit. This Buttpack DOES NOT FLOP AROUND. I don't NEED the padding but it adds TURGIDITY, folks. Very slim profile. Its small but that's GOOD. This is the one. Thx, NUTN (you, too, Veri).

[@FutureNcSWAT]

@FriendofCat What do you carry in your camelbak when you go camping?

[@fifteenfofifo]

Nutn / Veri... where do you find the CCI/Blazer aluminum 115gr JHP ? I can't seem to find... Thx Russ

[@ChristopherShaw]

i use that Galco shoulder holster/KelTec PF9 combo for my EDC as well. my only complaint is that the back of the PF9's slide is slanted and makes the gun prone to slipping out of the holster. have you noticed this tendency?

[@H4nz08]

Have you had any problems with your PF9? I originally planned on purchasing one of those for my first CCW firearm but the gun shop owner was saying how many of these he recently got back to send in for repair. I ended up purchasing a Taurus 709 Slim.

[@EasternTriad]

Where can I purchase the miniature titanium pry bar of this size? I hope you have time to respond. Thank you.

[@davk003]

Nutnfancy have you seen the light my fire spork? And would you every consider it over your lexan utensils? They caught my eye because Im really trying to cut out as much space and weight as I can.

[@exohead1]

Mind me asking why you choose tactical pants? Do they have a weapon concealment pocket on them? I personally use a pair of either BDU pants at the range or cargo pants everywhere else.

[@twa520]

I recently added the Kimber Pepper blaster to my EDC system. Fits in the front pocket of the Vibe II. What do you think of that? Would you ever review that?

[@Diraphe]

@Kenny00077 Wow that sucks. Can you carry expandable batons or flashlights with strike bezels?

[@ItsVulca]

what knife would you recommend for everyday it has to have a maximum blade length of 2" and upto $50 a lot of people say one of the spyderco's but I dont like the hole in the blade? thanks

[@dirkdiggler3718]

better to be ready for anything than not ready at all... for whatever, i love the setup you got goin, i prefer the carharts though those pants rock and i can still fit a lot of stuff in there.. great video, lots of good ideas!

[@ndawgtkd]

On the gun, I know you really like the p238, I am going to be turning 21 soon and wanting to get my ccw, I have held both the p238 and the pf9 and I am torn between the 2 guns. I really like the 238 more (2nd type, I just love it). What does the pf9 do better that makes you carry it over the p238?

[@awillaway8968]

How do you carry these blades Nutnfancy? Aren't blade lengtha limited to 3 inches in public?

[@AlpinePellegrino]

Do they still make mountainsmith vibe II's? I've been looking all over online and can't find any.

[@FallenRILESbmx]

Hey I was just wondering does your cadet ever scratch up your light because I was gonna start carrying my tinker in the same pocket a my light like you do?

[@fifteenfofifo]

Nutn.. to your point of horizontal carry, I agree with you. Even if you front pocket carry, when you sit down, the weapon is horizontal. Use a desantis or something similar and go to lunch with your wife or friend, you may be pointing it at them. (although I always try to turn my leg a bit) The important part is it's holstered in a quality holster.... my 2c's... BTW, what are your thoughts on the PF9 plastic guide rod? Have you swapped yours to aftermarket steel, or are you stock? PM9 owner...

[@dextergauge]

just out of interest how many times have you shot your concealed carry weapon for defence?

[@phantominca]

I've got the Blazer Ammo webpage open for HGN ammo, and they do NOT offer a 9mm JHP, 115 gr or otherwise. Under "Clean Fire", they only offer 124 and 147 TMJ. Under "Blazer" they offer 115 and 124 FMJ and 147 TMJ. Last, even under "Blazer Brass" they only offer 115 and 124 FMJ RN. Did they used to offer Blazer 115 JHP 9mm but stopped?

[@buckwheat40]

what do you think of the Ruger LCP? and LC9 , they are very similar to the kel tec and kahr

[@txfirefighter80]

Great vid. I carry something similar, but in a backpack "man purse". I'm one of those freaks that carry a 5" 1911 in a Comp-Tac MTAC, and four CMC 8rd mags every single day. I carry a Kershaw Blur Tanto, a Leatherman, small Pelican flashlight, lighter, small first aid kit in the backpack, lighter, two sets of zip tie "cuffs" and a small bundle of loose ones. There's a bunch of other crap I lug around, but that's the bulk of it. Great work, and keep up the awesome vids, man.

[@nightrider2k6]

hey nutn, for the spyderco blade, they have different blade qualities such ad vg10 etc etc, which is best one to get?

[@Judge_Jon]

How does the new ruger that looks like a LCP but shoots 9mm (LC9?) stack up to the Kahr and Kel-tec 9's?

[@thecxkilla7812]

What do you think of double stack compacts like the M&P 9c? for single carry without a back up

[@GoodGuyWithGun]

When are we going to get a 2014 edc update Nutnfancy??...

[@pete5668]

Hey nutnfancy does the PF9 trigger guard whack against your finger when you shoot the gun? I can't find one to rent at my range because they tell me "it's not a range gun" lol.

[@petesf2]

I noticed that you omitted a wristwatch from this video, is that because you don't carry one or was it an oversight? I'm interested in knowing whether you carry a watch and if you do, what kind do you wear/recommend? I know that most people use their cell phones to tell time but if you're in a movie theater and wanna check the time, the light from a mobile phone can be distracting...

[@fresca4008]

Just ordered a victorinox cadet and a spyderco caly 3.5 g10, my first folding knife, thanks for taking my money, nutn

[@frawlll]

I was wandering do you ever carry zip ties on you? I always carry 2 sizes small and large and have found that they come in handy.

[@Trustyconsultinggroup]

Nutn, have you tried bravo concealment holsters and raven concealment holster?

[@Takis48]

Hey Nutn, would you carry a Walther PPK in .380 ACP???

[@harvicals]

One of the random things I carry is a small coil of solder and a zippo. It is one of those combo that I have been given a lot of crap over, but it has come in handy many of times.

[@PatriotsNFL1]

Nutn what brand belt is that on the 5.11 pants? thanks

[@map33one]

can i ask how u get the time and money to buy and make these vids?

[@svarthek]

I'm surprised you don't carry measuring or fire tools. I carry a 6' tape and a Zippo. I live in Chicago so many lethal tools are not possible. I would carry my S&W 632, but can't carry in IL. I typically carry a Gerber Epic and Crucial, though I rarely wear the Epic in Chicago proper so the Crucial's blade and bottle opener provide a nice redundancy. The Nebo CSI Luma50 is a nice size compromise between the Preon 1 and 2, and I'm not a fan of twist ons. Any 2012 updates?

[@MaysO069]

I don't know about you guys but I have carried almost every style and brand of holster for edc from uncle mikes to Galco, and never really cared for any of them until I was turned onto the Crossbreed super tuck deluxe IWB and it is the most comfortable holster I have ever worn and me personally didnt have to change the way i dressed. I carry and HK P30 and forget that i have it on. I think everyone including you nutnfancy should look into this awsome holster for edc.

[@Kylef7735]

@charlesburton95 haha, thats not his edc knife, thats his tactical knife, the tiny delica is his edc knife. What state do you live in???

[@morfeusab]

You can try a syringe needle than the regular one. The syringe needle it already in it's case, it is sterile and you can dig much better with it than the regular one, because of it sharp tip that cuts. What should I get the Charge AL or the TTI?

[@Just1nFR]

If only nutn fancy was in that movie theater, he could have saved the lives of some or all people, we need more people like him.

[@ADONAIsays-so]

What holster was that for the PF9????

[@doobiecanoobie7707]

Like Nutn...but the odds of needing a Taser are long...what are the odds of needing a refill?

[@joe21v78]

where did you get the aircraft tape

[@johnb258]

Hey nutnfancy love your vids. I was wondering do you ever have problems with your keltec pf9 feeding hollowpoints reliably. I was told by many people that they dont feed hollowpoints well. And i was even told the owners manual even states not to use hollowpoints with there pf9's.

[@nutnfancy]

When are you going to make it? -- Veri

[@23Solo]

hey , what would you carry to a wedding or some other formal situation you would have to wear a suit?

[@paintball626]

@nutnfancy if this is your ROL EDC then what would be in your WROL EDC??

[@JeffJohnson-photos]

Hey nutnfancy! Good info even though it's two years old. Any updates? Which gun did you specify when you bought the Galco Classic holster? Thanks.

[@MrAeroshady]

What does"SAWC" mean? It was mentioned in the vid here.

[@MrSheepdog27]

Nutn', great system. I confess I don't carry nearly all of that, but good ideas all round. I was curious, have you ever weighed your system? If so, what did it check in at?

[@Bevo8]

Great Vid! Did you find that the PF9 was a better choice over the Kahr PM9?

[@jcnme]

Nutnfancy , I Love this vid ! I have always been "the go to guy" for stuff too ! Keep em coming ! Great vid guy ! : )

[@darkmummy9]

Consider this, not trying to force my opinion just curious about your thoughts. You draw your weapon with your right, what happens if someone attacks you mid draw? You can't get shots off and now your fighting for control of the weapon. Do you want your knife on your left or your right? Someone mentioned this to me and it made total sense so I'm trying to become decent with my knife left handed.

[@DonatoXlll]

Been a long time TNPer but I dont EDC, maybe someone could clarify this for me. Is carrying 4 knives really necessary? If I was to EDC i couldn't imagine needing more then 1 utility knife and a good MT (maybe Leatherman wave maybe) It seems like he is just overdoing it and making some of his gear redundant.

[@1RugerShooter1]

I have watched your video from 2008 and this video on EDC and I was wondering where do you keep your camera since you sometimes have it out with you?

[@cr0ss0ut]

@reeseman67 Ive never really had the stinging from super glue.. it does tingle a bit. Ethyl 2 cyanoacrylate is one of the main ingredients in most super glues which is used in surgeries for stitches which also act as a mild disinfectant. From my experience once i get the bleeding to stop, super glue will seal up the wound and prevent it from reopening all while keeping it try to decrease healing time. Great for a quick first aid solution for cuts and scratches.

[@Rhinoch8]

Well, I'm already shoveling things I use the most when roaming the streets in my backpack. But it bounces around and is not really organized. I'm planning to get one of those HappyCow belt with plethora of pouches to organise the essential stuff you need to roam/travel/errand (which are activities I happen to spend a lot of time doing).

[@steube84]

I don't carry to the extent that you do, however, I always carry at least a medium knife and my LCP. Vehicle carries my lights, multi tool, P239, rope, etc. I will probably upgrade to carry a few more items since I have seen this vid. One thing you might should mention is the climate you, or the individual lives in. I live in the South, so summer time comes I'm not wearing pants and multiple shirts. So a knife and a pistol is easy to carry, not much else. Thanks for the vids. Good job, brother.

[@druface12345]

I second having a lighter. mini bic, a countycomm peanut lighter or something. Question is: have you ever needed one Nutn?

[@Papipalazuelos]

hey nutnfancy!!! what is that rope thing hanging from your knife??? thanks, youre awesome!!!

[@spy8464BB]

as usual, awesome! You have inspired me to carry more stuff. Thanks

[@dizzytoledo]

I ordered the mini pry bar, just got it today. Awesome. Great person to deal with.

[@climbthatmountain]

If they are unwilling to go fanny pouch, belt carry, or some type of shoulder hip carry...they are as you mention - unwilling to go prepared with the needed items. Interesting video.

[@cg4wheelinfool]

no lighter or matches? but really like the mini pry bar

[@jdcp76]

God, this was a breath of fresh air, Nutn. Love your comical attitude as you go through the contents especially the "RAPE WHISTLE". The jumper scene!!!!

[@LKN4WAR]

The utincils are awesome. I've wanted to do that for years, except for the fact I want to carry full Tiffany sterling silver English King pattern, that's just how I roll. Heavy and very expensive I know. I put the preon in my med kit. Sweet light. Bought the stream light for my moms purse. The only piece of kit I ever got her to carry consistently. Thanks for review.

[@jspikeball123]

number 1 source for gear. Thanks nut'n!

[@tehyoyopro]

Whats tnp stand for? Thanks!

[@DarkHelmet8809]

Nutnfancy, do you carry a lighter or matches in your EDC system?

[@ianrickey]

Nutn, I've watched this vid a few times but what do you pack when you travel? I fly a fair amount and I pack my Leatherman in my suitcase so at least I have something, plus I always bring REI utensils for midnight snack in hotels. The challenge: what is your EDT (Every Day Travel) kit.

[@avalon449]

Tried to look at your usk videos from jan 10 and could only play part 1. Patrs 2 and 3 siaid playback not allowed on ipad.

[@dantedeinfernae]

One thing I didn't see that was a set of restraints. If you're in a situation where you give the "drop the gun" order and they actually do, how will you de-escalate yourself and hold him till backup arrives?

[@MichaelFoxFamily]

So...where can I get some of this tape?

[@quadheart]

This may sound strange but what is the total weight of your EDC system

[@bttb84]

Haha you really are crazy about your knives. Thats cool though, I've been carrying a lite weight EDC blade for a couple months after watching your videos and its really been more handy than I thought it would be. Thanks for all the reviews and helpful videos.

[@slightenigma]

I love carrying my Ruger LCP 380. I use to carry my XD40, but had to use a backpack to hide it. The problem with a backpack is that you get odd looks. I am still trying to figure out a better system, but the little 380 makes concealed carry easier.

[@BigOStyle1]

Don't go near the water, you wouldn't float to well with all that gear! LOL! Thanks for posting Keep up the great work and keep sharing the knowledge!!!

[@upchuck00]

Here's what I have on me at all times - medium-sized folding knife (3-4"), a Vic Alox handled SAK like a Cadet , 4Sevens Quark Mini 123 LED light, cell phone, keys (w/ coin light, pen & paracord lanyard) and wallet. Now I carry a backpack (Maxpedition Falcon 2) that has much more than nutn's fanny pack including a more comprehensive FAK but I only carry it to work or when i go out of town and such. It is not ON me at all times but nearby in the car, by my desk, in my hotel room, etc. Great job!
