I like watching EDC videos because they have cool man toys. I have never seen any of the items with actual wear and tear on them. Imagine having a knife for 25 years that looks new.

[@MidAtlanticTV]

Daryle Fleming good point

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

Craig , Thank you for sharing. Not only are the two max pack items very cool , your choice of gear has brought to my attention several great items for my own EDC.

[@bruceforster3709]

I use Maxpedition products-LOVE THEM! I gave a Condor pack to my wife, I have a Beefy Organizer that lives in my car, and after the Holidays, I want to buy a Gyrfalcon Pack in Wolf Gray.

[@brandnizzle7468]

You're awesome, dude. You put up with a lot of haters and never seem to get worked up. So what if you call it a man purse. I do jokingly all the time.The best part about EDC is making it your own, making it work for you. This video was great and I really like your set up. Keep up the good work.

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

Well said.

[@desertcamelbak]

I roll the maxpedition proteus, this is one of the best I've seen.. good vid!

[@jwdyss]

Thanks for the laugh.....this video is hilarious! Flashlight fetish and a review without his pants on

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

This was my very first purchase from Maxpedition; and Ive been a 5.11 user for about 7 years now; and since trying maxpedition’s “neatfreak”, and shopping around a few--I am fully BLOWN AWAY. I thought 5.11 made some damned good products; but literally the SECOND I laid my hands on this pack; from its materials, to its different layouts; things of that nature........ I haven’t even LOOKED at a piece of 5.11 gear since. Great pack for anyone interested.

[@MidAtlanticTV]

I hear you! www.craigshipp.com/grandseiko

[@EDMfan0]

Good video. Just picked up a NeatFreak, and have been researching EDC systems as I'm reworking my own. I totally understand and appreciate the flashlight thing! Got a SureFire E2DL, a Fenix LD10 R5, and a keychain light on me right now. I also always have a pack nearby, which currently contains an additional 7+ lights (including UV and a headlamp), and several more in the vehicle. People at work ask to borrow a flashlight, and I ask how many lumens and what kind of beam pattern they want... ;)

[@jamesritchie6899]

Those sheaths are weird. I don't own a Surge, but I have a Super Tool 300, and some smaller Leatherman. None have sheaths you can get the multi-tool out of without opening it. I love the look of that "man Purse". Two things I've learned. 1. If it has real workman tools exposed to view, no one thinks of it as a man purse. 2. If you put backpack straps on it, no one thinks of it as a man purse. As for cost, my son has an Altoid size EDC that has more than one hundred dollars in content, and mine is almost as expensive. High quality is usually expensive, but worth it. But, wow, I love the look and size of that "man purse". I've been looking for something exactly that size, and I think I've now found it, though I probably will put removable backpack straps on it.

[@hsmith3844]

What gets me is that with a nice EDC bag and go to public tourist venues they now have airport type checkpoints to go thru and will freak if you have a Gerber, multi tool, knife (pocket). This happened in Philly when I went to see the Liberty Bell with my daughter. Her husband had to take my EDC Bag BACK to the care with my licensed pistol so we could get in. Bothered me that now my stuff is in a car that could be broken into and a pistol put on the streets. Irritates me to no end

[@warika1208]

As a member of the public I feel safer that you're not allowed to carry a firearm around me, and it should be illegal for folks to leave firearms in unattended vehicles exactly for the reason you pointed out. What good is a loaded firearm to you when its locked in your car which you can't get to or even see...madness.

[@warika1208]

Private citizens should not be allowed into crowded public spaces armed to the teeth like Rambo. Why should someone who for all I know is a nut job be allowed to walk around a Mall etc with a bag full of knives and loaded firearms?

[@BassSniperTV]

@@warika1208 I was but it wouldn't matter. I'm done trying to change minds from now on I'm just voteing anything but Democrat.

[@masofnos]

with the surge try putting in the other way around (so the thick end is at the top) that should stop the tool coming out without opening the sheath

[@Joaker66]

Reflective cordage, freakin' genius. Light bulb moment for me, thanks man.

[@mikedeman5351]

Thanks for this video. I like some/most of your gear choices. However, the problem I have with this type of bag is they look too 'tactical', especially with the add-on pouches. The pockets tend to be quite narrow, so if you put something thick in one pocket, you have difficulty getting anything into the adjacent pocket. Looking at the way you've packed your stuff, too many items are exposed and perhaps easily lost. I prefer a slightly larger, plainer bag with more internal pockets/capacity. Just my opinion.

[@ejavenger]

One point of advice. Get a small battery case for that battery in your tac shorts. It is in there with a metal tape measure and could potentially spark and cause a battery melt down. Just a pointer. Cheers

[@wb5mgr]

This is true, that being said I have a streamlight stylus pro that I used to carry for just that reason that was so notorious for turning on in my pocket and burning up the batts that it was useless. I now just buy the Duracell pro cell batts in the cardboard 4pack containers and keep them in my bag or pocket.

[@crazyworld7219]

This is at another level, we all must agree we have a touch of OCD if we are into this EDC stuff, I know I have. If I had the money I would go crazy on it. For example I just bought the olight sr2r baton ll . Now wish I bought the Eagle tack torch because I don’t wanna damage my olight I have problems I know

[@MidAtlanticTV]

I hear you - www.craigshipp.com/downloads

[@LCO213]

I was lost in the dark last night because the flashlight I was carrying seems to only work sporadically. Lesson learned: if you can't carry two, at least carry a single really good one.

[@wb5mgr]

Love the vintage SAK, I carry a SAK every day most days either a Fieldmaster or an AlOx Farmer. I love having the little saw, and the scissors. I also carry a tape measure which I use all the time... I'd recommend u carry more spare batts... You do have a ton of blades though, might consider pairing it back some.

[@danielbbq]

Here are a couple items I have in my bag that I've found helpful time and again. 1. I get a couple of plastic shopping bags. I carefully fold them up and it ends up about the size of a bic lighter. Very helpful when walking the dog, needing to carry a few items, on and on. 2. A vial of essential oils I call my edc - essential oil first aid kit. Search "edc - essential oil first aid pack the image foundry" for more info on this kit. Small and good for bites, sunburn, headaches, cuts, and more.

[@valkyr1985swe]

Maybe I'm just a loner, and that's why I only carry stuff for my own wellbeing. Thanks for a good video.

[@gazoontitekapow85]

I think you need a few more flashlights. lolz o.O seriously though, if anyone is going to have that many flashlights in an EDC bag, might as well get those $1 flashlights at walmart which work amazing by the way. I have a few of those $1 walmart flashlights for a few years, not in an EDC bag, but one in my truck, garage, basement, and upstairs in my house. I haven't had a single problem with them yet.

[@LCO213]

I hated the pouch that came with my Leatherman at first as well. I think your new pouch is better, but the one that came with your tool has a pocket for holding the bit set. If you utilize that second little pocket the multitool will hold firm. I keep one of those magnesium fire starters in there. You can find 'em at walmart for $6 or so. So, I always have my multi-tool and a means for starting a fire. :-) ...and I always EDC my Hogue EX-01 as well.

[@iohannessilvaticus]

Hi Craig, you oughta flip the way you insert the leatherman into the sheaths. I have been using my surge for the past few years with the original sheath now with no problems. Cheers

[@jon87386]

Very nice EDC, if the sole purpose is showing off to other people how much you carry. I use a Maxpedition FR-1 with a 5.11 water bottle holder (I had one laying around) molle'd to the side, and carry those two things with a shoulder strap. Very small, very efficient. Holds just about anything you could actually 'need' per-say, excepting a laptop.

[@AROTTWEILERR]

all those flashlights, im laughing my arse off... funny as f--k

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

Still loving your video and the kit. Peace from the UK.

[@TJackSurvival]

These are very cool! I've got three!

MacGuyver's action satchel was whatever he had in his pocket, usually a Swiss Army Knife, a few coins, an elastic band and a bit of wire...et voila! A car!

[@iplodman]

I love how you respond to comments so quickly :D

[@valkyr1985swe]

And after watching the whole video, im even more baffled by the many flashlights you guys carry around. ;)

[@126wil]

"One is none" "Two is One"- three is even better, just in case. They are small and light and when you need them, you REALLY need them, and I think a lot of folks just like flashlights 🙂.

[@90JOLED]

Ok, let me get this straight... Nice configuration but Are you outside without your pants??

[@koreyjohnson9888]

90JULDA no man there is only one high lander

[@Lellobeetle]

I really like your setup. If I buy one more Maxpedition bag my husband will choke me. You got great kit.

[@Angelwrites]

As long as he does it in a good way

[@jamesritchie6899]

+Lellobeetle My sons and I have a rule. If we can keep something for three months without our wives knowing about it, we're safe. If they ask where something came from, we can then say, "What, this old thing? I've had it for months."

[@Lellobeetle]

James Ritchie I support that rule and am going to put that into effect with my husband.

[@keithcronk7980]

GO FOR IT WE'LL BACK YOU UP:)

[@keithcronk7980]

James Ritchie THATS A GREAT 1 HAVE TO TRY IT.

[@DamianColeman007]

Great vid. Lots of good ideas. You can never have too many sharp or shiny items IMO :-) I look forward to watching more of your vids

[@Solocat1]

"am i the only one who that's ridiculous" I love these types of comments from people. This is HIS personal kit why does it bother you what he carries? I know some guys that carry two hand guns every where they go..

[@Studio64Down]

Great video. thanks for showing us what a 'man purse' can be.

[@SpetsnazKobra]

I'm sorry but their is no point to carry 5 flashlights. Two is even pushing it. The light on the handle is a good light and you shouldent need 5 back ups.

[@DanhNguyenster64]

Looks like you might be able to fit a small dslr in there if you seperate the body and lens and out the lens into a soda can cozy to protect it(would probably only fit prime lenses).

[@eeasy69]

Man Bag sounds better, Man purse is just wrong at every level.

[@TheOnlySaneAmerican]

+Mick rgi Men had a purse long before women did.

[@lenzielenski3276]

Its called a 'murse'.

[@indica77]

If you call it man purse then put tampons in it. If you call it Man Bag then put condoms in it. Done.

[@benterwellen]

Nice Video, I also carry similar items EDC and Man Bag.........even more......I also believe in carrying multiples 2 is 1 and 1 is none.........

[@got1intheshed]

Didn't see a head torch in the bag?

[@3leon306]

Full functionality is the best form of full things witch are best when full

[@franklintas]

Nice stuffs. Thanks Craig for sharing.

[@jeffreystern5886]

I like the outside maxpedition mag holders... but the Condor single mags are great and are only around $9 on eBay.

[@MidAtlanticTV]

I hear you.

[@Zippos_And_Doom_Is_All_I_Need]

Awesome carry but I would never clip items like light and other things outside my bag cuz people got a problem with sticky fingers and go near you for no reason when there's mad room. That's his my sak and clipped pens got stolen. I was younger and naive so I didn't think anyone would take pens or open outside compartments in a pinch till it happened.

[@tsalesto]

Actually I made it to the end. Comments: - an EDC too big to be carried every day, so it is not carried every day, kind of loses the meaning, doesn't it *sigh* - much lights, and all very similar, I'd replace 3-4 of those with a headlamp, which would be much more useful in real emergency situation... -I'd rather lose another light and a couple extra batteries for a small phone usb battery - 1 multitool is not enough? - paper towels stored in side pocket, where they would get soaked easily

[@jberg2250]

flashlights fer days love it

[@Studio64Down]

Hey Craig, Great video and you do have a lot of flashlights but that's OK with me. You really have a 'Neat' Man Purse. I have 3 bags with all me stuff, like you, you need the bags to put all the stuff we like to collect and use. I had one question, don't you think that the SOG Power Assist is like a piece of jewelry, too? It shines like the Victorinox Multi Tool RS, don't you think? I have both of them and a Wave, too.

[@Pluthonuk]

Thanks, I've found it in my local dealer but it's out of stock. My original pouch is gonna break soon, so needs to change. Thanks :)

[@MsRotorwings]

As you said, you sacrifice some function for the fit of an item. Many a man could take a lesson in your "fashion sense" when carrying their EDC items. Men don't need to go "tactical" with their belts being weighed down by so many items. Nice video. I would imagine your significant other appreciates your organization.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

What Type of water filtration do you use? Also, what type of personal defense? Cool kit by the way... no judgements for the murse.

[@keithcronk7980]

SAWYER AS FOR US

[@6brettes]

nice quality gear even the shorts!! the flash2 sog is nice bit of kit that o torch aswell i will have to look some of this stuff up as i am from UK and we need a license to carry a tin of wasp spray over here any knife exceeding 3inches blade length carries a 5year prison sentences!! however great setup! better to have it than not have it!! chop the hands off of the nearest crew member next time he comes a beggin teaches the others discipline organisation!!

[@126wil]

Excellent review. Well-appointed pouch. Good ideas. (I do, however, cringe every time you call it a "Man-Purse." Maybe that's just me.) Of course, as you said, it COULD be called a man-purse, but I'd prefer something else (anything else) like, "satchel" for example. To be fair, in our day, women were the first to universally carry EDC essentials. Nice job, though. 👍🙂

[@kevinoquist6194]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[@Schumanized]

Respect the man purse!!!💪🏼

[@andrerocha4804]

Parabéns pelo vídeo. Linda bolsa.

[@jasonathurios1441]

This is not a crisis pack. This is a gadget kit of someone who admires and adores knives and flashlights

[@iplodman]

Also, Would giveaways be a good idea for you? Start off small, like a cheap torch, see if the publicity gets bigger, etc. :D

[@stevencraig9090]

Very nice edc review will be geting one thanks

[@JuiceOg0311]

Nice bag. Everything looks brand new. Do u actually use any of them? Never seen such clean unused stuff in a EDC bag b4. Great stuff u have though.

[@mbenjamin292]

fantastic vid you really have it together.great edc.

[@xseph]

Thanks for the response. X

[@mariacanalas3778]

Hi Craig. What brand of reflective cord is that? I’ve seen the Orange paracord that has fire tinder but I like the green that you have. Thanks for the vid. Good stuff.

[@mariacanalas3778]

Thank you very much!

[@jaybarr3307]

So many flashlights...

[@jamesrockford3582]

You need to try out the Led Lenser M3R rechargeable AAA or Alkaline AAA 220 lumen flashlight with high, low and strobe Plus it focusable. It's an absolute EDC item along with my Leatherman of course.

[@myquickjab2098]

try the Browning Alpha max using a 14500 battery high low then green night vision a true edc with the Leatherman of course

[@CH-xw4fq]

for EDC maybe a pocket pistol / bandanna instead of paper towels / cellphone.... loose the comb. Only one flashlight I carry Streamlight stylus pro.

[@MidAtlanticTV]

cool! www.craigshipp.com/downloads

[@normrubio]

As an EDC, it shows too much of what you're carrying AND sometimes quick accessibility is a bad thing; easily accessible to you and everyone else. Cool pack? Sure. Ultimate? Nope. Good review and good video. thx

[@amytonyamytony]

i like the scientist swiss army knife but i feel like it should also have a sissior

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

I have various EDC bags that I change depending on the weather etc and I love your set up... I know you've modified yours with extra pouches and so on, however searching for Maxpedition Neatfreak Organizer on Amazon shows bags that look very different from the one you have. Is there a different name for it or year of manufacture? All the current ones don't seem to have MOLLE options on the side and more velcro on the front.... any ideas? Thanks.

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

***** Ahhhh I see. Just need to tuck it in...looks better like that. Peace and thanks again.

[@enriquediaz7547]

Do you continue to use this cool setup? Or migrate to something else?

[@MidAtlanticTV]

I still have it! It's always nearby.

[@ant0n01]

Nice and sensible EDC !!! I don't like the cell phone holder though - I would scratch up my cell phone within days because I would forget to move it :-)

[@ant0n01]

Thanks for reply Craig - Seidio holster setup looks cool. I work in construction and try to keep mine in a 'toughbuilt' belt holster ........ I always forget and it ends up in my back pocket in it's 'spigen' case. :-)

[@HTx78]

EDC says no multi-pocket backpacks.... they DID let me carry my multi-pocket camel bag last year... but heads up.

[@shadowalker1776]

Nice setup.

[@danwesson2485]

Thank you for sharing. I have been looking for an EDC bag and have not found one, STILL. Do you really carry this heavy bag everywhere/everyday? Into a grocery store, restaurant, movie theatre? I have tried satchels and courier bags and they flop about too much; swing forward when I reach down to attend to my child's needs, etc. is there something that carries the EDC of the common man whith out bulging pockets, cargo shorts or satchels and backpacks? No offense to you and you bag. Thank you for posting. I will still keep searching.

[@flipteezy]

errr... couldn't see the cool sheath as it was out of frame.... sounds cool though... i'll look it up!

[@gorillahd9247]

Good video and an excellent review. Stay safe out there. Scott

[@rob45x]

Any updated edc vids ?!?!?

[@johnkennedy3980]

kind of like his video, and his bag

[@mohawk14616]

Can come one please tell me what that bag is called? It's not the neatfreak organizer. That was the one he pulled out from inside. Thanks.

[@valkyr1985swe]

What is it with all EDC or BOB videos that everyone carries 3-5 flashlights. Two I can understand, but 4-5? Or even 6 in some cases...

[@SignedSign]

cool pack.. but think ya overdone it on flashlight a bit.. what is it.. 6 flashlights? lol and 2x fullsized multitools might also be overdoing it a bit for edc

[@grumpyoldphart7325]

Nice ESQ watch. I have one just like it. Do you actually carry all that stuff on your belt everyday?

[@dertyp878]

Very nice EDC👌 what is the name of this maxpedition bag please?

[@kerosenezen]

Thanks for the review! I've just ordered a neatfreak and it's going to double up as a compact camera bag. I was just wondering how you attached the leatherman pouches? Did you use tacties? I want to attach a small pouch to those vertical carry handles but can't think of a neat way to do it! Thanks

[@johannesparkmann3899]

Overpacking to the max. Do you like carrying extra weight or why do you have at least 4 knives in your EDC?

[@johannesparkmann3899]

***** Ah, well i understand that. Its important to have everybody in the group trained and equpped right. Maybe you can infect the with the EDC virus so you dont have to be the only one prepared.

[@Raduldo]

What if you lose the bag at night, with flashlight's still in it...where is you're god then? :)

[@blizzbee]

Right! Flashlight should always be between butt cheeks inside underwear. You can always reach to it even when you lose your bag in total darkness.

[@zeroforever100]

I cant understand why to take 2 or more knices with you if you have a multi tool why do you need a knife?

[@serlon99]

How do you shine your light on the green reflective thingies if the light is with the green reflective thingies?

[@BOB12349307]

agree you can never have too many flashlights

[@olivermoes-okun2468]

great video! Really cool stuff and a cool bag. Just wanted to ask... is it really necessary to have 5 flashlights? just seems like a little extra unnecessary weight for an edc bag

[@olivermoes-okun2468]

*6 flashlights

[@olivermoes-okun2468]

*7 flashlights

[@DmitrySerf]

Nice Pouch

[@TheEqualistsCrew]

Forget these haters. You can never be too prepared.

[@johnnyr701]

Don’t think that leatherman would ever fall out of its sheath. You had to pull it out for it to happen. I have that sheath, never had an issue with it.

[@RonJohn63]

8:52 If you're hiking a long distance, then the backpack's waist strap should already be putting all the weight on your hips.

[@jamesritchie6899]

+RonJohn63 What waist strap? Mine doesn't have a waist strap. At any rate, the only comfortable way I've found to put the weight on my legs is with a good, high quality frame pack, and they're all much larger than something I want to carry, unless I've going out for a week or more. To me, a waist strap without a frame that takes up the weight is more uncomfortable than no strap at all.

[@RonJohn63]

James Ritchie _What waist strap? Mine doesn't have a waist strap._ It was hypothetical: If you're hiking a long distance, then you *should* have a backpack, and it *should* have a waist strap. _ the _*_only comfortable way I've found_*_ to put the weight on my legs is with a good, high quality frame pack_ My son has a petty small -- just a bit larger than book bag -- knapsack with a padded waist strap. But since you said what you said, maybe you've tried such packs.
