The biggest mistake people make when getting into EDC is buying gear that they see everyone else carrying online, and not gear that suits their needs. Then they end up with a load of gear they don’t use. Identify your needs and buy gear accordingly. Also, buy what YOU like. Just my input!

Ha ha, I agree. I do carry a prybar though it's a brass bar with an African Blackwood top bar it is on a finger length leather loop and the back is engraved with 'Wabi-Sabi' in kanji which reminds me that there is no point in not using my kit just to keep it clean. I mostly use it to flip around and fidget with and barely ever use it as a tool although it has came useful opening cans of varnish.

The way I see it, you don’t really “get into EDC”. Everyone has their own EDC, whether they realize it or not. EDC is simply what you carry on yourself regularly. Some of us choose to carry more things, in order to make life easier for ourselves & be prepared. What we “get into” is watching & drooling over what other people are spending $ on & seeing what’s trendy...

Great video, but speaking of “EDC” I only recently heard the term EDC about 5 or so years ago. But in reality I have been EDCing for over 45 years! I’ve been carrying a pocket knife since I was 8, I’m 67 now. I carried a knife daily all the way through high school along with wallet, keys, pen & a flashlight as needed. In the Army I carried a Buck 112 and a SAK Spartan. As a cop same stuff but added a Solitare (still carry but upgraded to LED) All this was years before the current EDC trend. Big thing for me is I’m not really a big fan of modern tactical folders. SAKs, Bucks, Gerber LST, & traditional folders for me!

I thought of your comment about sticking a flashlight in your mouth while using both hands. You are wearing a visored cap. An AAA flashlight with a clip secured to your ever-present baseball cap. I have and have given the now long gone Arc Flashlight AAA. What a great flashlight. So sad it is now gone. (Peter Gransee. Good luck to you, sir) I also have an Arc AA I'd like to have mod. A new head/LED emitter. BTW, the comment about Canada not having a pandemic ban on Americans drew a wince when I noticed that this was videoed on July second. The world has changed quite a bit since then. I put the blame on the United States BTW, and I live here.

I think the major problem (I fell into this for a little while) is people buy a bunch of crap they don’t need or use. I’ve got so many little gadgets and gear bought over the years that sit in a drawer bc I simply don’t need it day to day. I also agree with you in that people jump to what they believe is the best knife or flashlight or whatever and then realize it’s not a design that works for them. Start budget, like less than 100 total for all your items, swap things out here or there and figure out what you like, then refine it with quality items

Long post alert, intended for people looking for a second opinion on how to build an EDC. The way I approach my EDC is something like this: 1. What do I generally need/want to carry tools for? 2. What tools excel at doing as many of these things as possible while taking up the least amount of space? 3. What am I actually paying for? So let's walk through a common scenario most EDCers will consider, which is buying a knife: 1. What do I generally need/want a knife for (my personal reasons, may be different from yours) I live in an apartment in an urban environment, but I love doing things outside such as day hikes with my dog, kayaking, soccer, etc. So let's break that down: - Everyday tasks like slicing food, opening packages, cutting loose threads off clothes, etc. - Casual outdoor use for day hikes and kayaking such as whittling or cutting cord - Sports-related usage such as cutting adhesive wraps and picking dirt out of small nooks - Emergency usage such as cutting my dog or myself free from entanglement - Self-defense - Fidgeting 2. What knife is great for all or at least most of these things? Personally I carry the Benchmade Bugout. It's stupidly lightweight and easy to carry, has an excellent decent-sized blade that can handle 99.9% of my tasks, is very durable for what it is, and is super fun to flip open and closed. And I also I think it looks very minimalist and cool. It's not the ultimate heavy-duty survival knife, nor is it my first choice for self-defense, but it covers so many bases at once in such a lightweight package. It's a great EDC option for me. 3. What am I actually paying for? Minimalist design and good functionality with a high quality blade steel. That's it. Yes the scales are plastic, but I don't need them to be anything else. What tasks could I not do before that would only be possible with the 300 dollar carbon fiber version? None. Would it be nice to have carbon fiber scales and S90V blade steel? Of course, but from a practical standpoint it doesn't really offer additional value for me. Good design, versatile functionality, and portability are king. Sometimes premium materials are a part of that package, other times it's just for show. The Bugout is a great example of that. --- Some other items I carry that follow my EDC mindset: Fisher Space Pen - Closes to small size, opens to normal size, writes upside down and in various conditions Olight S1R II - Small, clips to a bunch of stuff, lots of useful modes, powerful, easy to charge Zippo Slim Lighter - Reusable/refillable, small, fun to safely fidget with, useful for camping/outdoors (especially if you seal it). I personally don't smoke but I appreciate its other uses so I carry one. Paracord quick-release bracelet - I wove this myself using a tutorial video. It's a smaller width and comes apart with one pull, not like most ones you have to spend 5 minutes unraveling. Also much easier to put on/take off. Ridge Wallet - I went with carbon fiber for this one just because it won't dent if I drop it or sit on it weird, also very lightweight. Honestly I wish it had an ID window, I may replace it. --- Hope this was helpful to someone. Your EDC should serve you well and in as many ways as possible without being a burden to carry around. Whatever tools you decide to get, make sure you feel satisfied at the end of the day. Good luck!

I think when getting into EDC (and you eluded to this) you also need to evaluate what YOU are going to use. I don’t carry a flashlight except in my Jeep because I really don’t use one very often at all, others use one daily so it’s a great investment. I feel like a lot of people just jump right into wanting ALL the gear and they don’t really evaluate what they are actually going to use.

You absolutely nailed it on your point about costly materials. I use this account purely for commenting on other videos, but I’ve been wanting to start an actual account where I upload my own content. EDC and knives are areas of interest for me. A big realization I had about EDC when first learning about it as a subject is that literally everyone alive has naturally had an EDC, going back to caveman days. Ug and Og EDC’d sticks and sharp rocks. EDC really boils down into two categories: Things that are practical, and things you enjoy having with you. Some EDC kits put more emphasis on practicality, others on personal taste. The truth is, carrying a $300 piece of EDC equipment is always going to be more a matter of personal taste than practicality. There is no one knife, pen, flashlight, wallet, key organizer, watch that has $300-worth of purely practical use. As an example of prioritizing practicality over personal taste, my favorite pen to EDC is the humble Bic Round Stic. It does just as well as, if not better than, any other pen I’ve worked with.

Good point.

I literally saw a Benchmade Somethingsomething go for ~$2500 around here, so availability plays a part. And an Opinel No. 10 because it was dirt cheap and had good reviews, but that doesn't count, it's for my totally-not-paranoid bag.

My summer edc: wallet, keys, phone, tissue in pockets. Sunscreen, water bottle, sunglasses in tie bag. Bought Goruck GR1. Now my edc includes that AND _more stuff_ which I probably don't need in an extravagantly masculine bag. _And I'm having a real good time._

you never know how much you need/use a flashlight until you EDC one. A must in anyone's EDC, and probably the first thing you should add to your EDC if you don't know where to start. And it doesn't have to be and expensive light plenty of budget friendly lights.

I absolutely agree with you about a dedicated flashlight. Phone lights are great but the ease of use of a dedicated flashlight makes it 10x better, especially with a two way clip.i personally carry two lights, one on my edc bag, and one on person.

This is probably stupid, but my car is part of my “edc,” in that I use it every day! I would love to see more of your truck. I would love to see camping vids, and gear reviews of what you use. I’m excited to see you out of your box!

There are lots of avid fishermen out there whose EDC reflects that hobby. The same for hiking, swimming, content creation, or really any hobby out there. Frankly, I think you engaging in your hobbies and adjusting your EDC depending on what hobby you're focused on at the time could only serve to improve the channel.

Started carrying a Leatherman when I was about 7yo. 25 years later, working with a guy about my age, and a young kid, about 18 who had never seen a Leatherman. The kids said, "that's really cool. Where did you get that? “ While I was thinking about it, the other guy didn't miss a tick and says," A man does not simply get a Leatherman, he is born with it. " Made me laugh my ass off. Good content man!

Try using your hat to hold the light. Even more ergonomic. One of the reasons I carry a light that requires CR-123a 3v flashlights, they’re slightly beefier and hold better in your hand, burn brighter generally and hold well inside the band of your hate above your ear.

Just block / delete / ignore the people that complain. Justifying yourself to people who don’t get it, is futile cause they won’t get it. Those that get you will appreciate it regardless of which passion(s) you choose to share. Makes no sense to waste time on those that annoy you, just get rid of them. You don’t need that energy in your life. Your love for the things you do, is validation enough. ❤️ That being said, keep up the good work. I subscribed to the other channel. I take it you won’t be changing the name of this channel after-all. But the other channel reflecting more aspects of you is probably better suited to be known as your name than this channel which is catered.

You are literally the same as me. I love tech, edc, gaming, coffee, and cameras. If only you could do it all on your channel. I support you doing everything you want. Be like peter McKinnon and focus on one thing (edc) while mixing everything else in. He's had plenty of coffee videos and has a wallet video and all kinds of stuff. Keep up the great work I love your channel.

Dont know if you know this but you can use the pocket clip on your flashlight to attach it to the peak of your cap to use it as an improvised head torch. instead of sticking it in your mouth. the protrect clip obviously has to be the ''wrong way'' around.

Preach brother.... been trying to build my edc as I go without breaking the bank. Now that I been working from home since March edc has changed. I’ll grab my phone, Apple Watch and maybe my leather man and that’s it. I don’t really grab my keys, wallet, flashlight or knife unless I am leaving the house.

The biggest mistake someone not into EDC can make is watching this channel. I got linked here when I was searching for a new wallet. I just needed a wallet! Now I have several wallets including my favorite Das Offene Meer GunDeck QD and a custom Houbai 50/50 Combo I am waiting for. I recently bought a small Swiss Army knife and just yesterday I ordered a CIVIVI Elementum. Now I am looking at Keychain lights. What kind of alien voodoo is going on with this Taylor Martin guy. I am not buying a Pen though, I am drawing the line in the sand!... Great videos... umm thanks..

for knives i think switching EDC is an exception. Saying you can't change up is like saying you aren't allowed to change up cars. People are free to do so if they wish honestly. Even if it may be weird to me.

You should turn the channel into more of a vlog style channel, showing how you incorporate edc gear into your everyday life. While showing edc table reviews from time to time to. Including all your other hobbies into it can also give you opportunities to low key show how useful your edc gear is. Without the video being dedicated to the edc gear itself, but the activity they were used in

I'm from a country that does not allow me to carry knives D: that being said, due to currencies, your budget videos really helped me a whole bunch! i am slowly buying better stuff to replace what i have currently, and i have... an EDC... and a CDC(Car Daily Carry? lol i dont know what to call it) looking forward to upgrade more and more!! oh and the leatherman wave+ i own is the BEST purchase I've made thus far, costs me a months worth of dinner(yeah food is cheap as heck here!) but its worth it!!! Hoping to see more targeted budget EDC from you!!!
