Ultra Budget EDC Load Out You Actually Want To Carry 2023! Being Prepared On A Budget.

[@MrkwlCS]

Now this is what the community should be. Not all the pocket jewelry. This will work and work hard. Solid work Zac.

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks much! Carry what you need, need what you carry🤘

[@MichaelB2L]

Yep! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jackbachman1385]

totally agree. I hate the edc community filled with the over priced knick kacks.

[@MrkwlCS]

@@jackbachman1385 it’s a completely different culture then it was even a few years ago. It’s crazy to see. I’m just the dude with the useful stuff and maybe hard candy. I can’t afford a $300 rock made of some random material!

[@Leftyotism]

I for myself also love practicality and reason more than bling bling to show off. 😁

[@REB4444]

The thing about being more budget conscious is that you're not going to be afraid to ACTUALLY USE them because most people don't want to scratch-up or risk breaking their Gucci EDC tools. Plus these things get lost or stolen all the time then you're more pissed than if it was a budget one. It's like owning a $3,500 custom 1911, you'll never take it out for everyday carry because it's too nice to scratch-up, and you end up carrying your more affordable one anyways.

This video is an excellent example of why I still watch this channel after giving up on every other edc channel. Zac's head is not in some weird, gotta-be-too-cool cloud. It's down on the ground with the rest of us. And, as long as I'm here, I have to say I have both the mini praxis and the tinker and they are a great pairing.

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks so much for the kind words! We try to keep things grounded and really only show what we’d actually or do actually use.🙏👊

This might be the best budget edc video ever. Super helpful and realistic!!

[@bigjake6foot5]

The budget end of edc is so important because that's where most people are. Don't get me wrong I love my American made $250 and up knives but that's just not where most people start or where most people want to spend their money. Good budget items bring more people into the hobby of edc and keep more people around. Great video

I think the USA can also make great knives for reasonable prices with still great materials. Looking my beloved CRKT M16-03BS special edition RIP Kit Carson one in 12C27 and titanium nitride coating on the steel handle frame lock. It just holds up and is fixed so easily.

[@vitobojo]

Always good, helpful and full of character - this particular video is masterful in execution, pace, variety of view angles, zoom, settings. Alone or with a team, I don't know, but this impressed me. Don't get me wrong - I love other styles, too. I appreciate the simplicity of a talking review with afixed lens over hands on a multitool - also valuable. Many others, too. But, yeah, extra credit for a huge production value today. Thanks.

[@zacinthewild]

Means a lot! Thanks for tuning in👊

[@greasemonkey060]

Been carrying the Harbor Freight pen lights everyday all year now. Both AAA and usb powered. A dab of Vaseline on the threads and o rings go a long way when they go through the wash. Regardless they’re under a 90 day warranty so when the click on off button goes out they’ll swap you out no questions asked. They’re a bit bulky but definitely handy for the price

[@zacinthewild]

Great tip!

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

You do want to be wary of using Vaseline on rubber o-rings, for the same reason you don't use it on other rubber things - it will cause the rubber to break down, and it will fail. On something that's super cheap that you get replaced regularly, it's not such a big deal, but you don't want to use it on anything you plan on keeping.

[@donalddicorcia2433]

Get some silicone plumber’s grease. It won’t break down your O rings. About $4 at Home Depot or Lowes. But yes, lube those threads. I used the Streamlight aaa microstream for years working in the telecom industry. Hundreds of attics and crawl spaces. $19.99 and it never let me down.

[@billvan5219]

Yay Zac 😊 The knafs hat should be on the list! Gotta protect the dome! Thanks for introducing things I never would have found on my own, as usual lol GREAT JOB BRO

[@zacinthewild]

Thank you for tuning in! The Knafs hat rocks!😁

For EDC pliers, check out the craft section at Michael's. Small pliers of every type.

[@Coppersaguaro]

I got the 1505 a year ago or whenever you did that video and absolutely love it. I use it every single day.

[@hb6747]

Zac i absolutely love all your videos, and am an avid consumer of knife and edc related content, but I loved your early videos about your wanderlust and adventures and shop setup and all things you covered at the beginning of your channel. I personally would love to see more of that type of content. Hope you get a chance to see this!

[@zacinthewild]

I really appreciate that! I love doing those videos too. We’re trying to figure out a balance to better show that stuff off. Thanks so much for the kind words.

[@pyrosmoak53]

Just another reason to love and trust Zac's content, a simple, practical no BS load out. $40-$70 range even less if you swap the light and pen. I personally love the Z F-701 a great pen and not too pricey. My tinker rides in my pocket at least 3 days a week and I always have my i3t or i5t with me.

[@kencollins2002]

Thanks for the great affordable Christmas gift ideas as well. It's aptly timed (plenty of time for shipping) and several fit the budget we've set for our gaming group. Thank you!

[@BillyWalters-c3f]

First EDC was my trayvex wallet EDC few years ago took there I haven't stopped love your video right EDC carry pouchs and multi tools

[@TheTuneAce]

F-701 (or f-301) + 6in1 fastback + AAA flashlight = EDC perfection. You can add in a bic mini or some form of needle nose pliers (ie, gerber dime, Leatherman wingman, or even a dedicated pair of pliers) for added functionality, but will add bulk or lack decent pocket clips. Sometimes I have a folding pocket knife, keychain flashlight + Gerber dime for minimalism

[@walterrojas1075]

Perfect pocket carry for me, CRKT Pilar, Pokelit AA flashlight and Gerber MP 600 blameless. I had that pen, but it broke within the week. In my work backpack, 6 in 1, pliers, pens/markers, notebook, 1/4 bit set.

[@Leftyotism]

3:55 Hell yeah! I've got the blue Elox aluminum version of the Rockstub right when it came out in Germany and I freaking love it! And the blade came wicked sharp by the way! And it's ever so fidgety and smooth, great quality for the price. It has skeletonized steel liners under the blue Elox by the way.

[@knifeinfluenza]

The problem with my Rockstub is the free spinning pivot screw in combination with a very strong glue. I stripped the screw when trying to adjust the action. The Boker service was great and I got new knife, but with the same problem. Finally I heated the screw with my soldering iron to soften the glue and with good drivers I was able to break it open without damaging it.

[@zacinthewild]

Great note! Thanks for the input.

[@zacinthewild]

Really been loving this thing!

[@Leftyotism]

I haven't noticed any free spinning pivot screw, glue, or any other weird issues like that myself, I also didn't have any other issue at all, but I'm glad it worked out great for you! @@knifeinfluenza

[@Leftyotism]

Pleasure! @@zacinthewild 🥰 (I love it very much as well!)

[@jpodmatt]

I loved how the ohto pen looked and immediately purchased one. I like having two ink colors, but hate needing to carry two pens in my notebook. Thanks for showcasing that!

[@Tn3809]

Victorinox tinker is my edc for 20+ years now. Love the KNAFS cap.

[@zacinthewild]

Such a good carry! I’m loving the new hat😎

[@form4li7y]

7:49 I got curious about that Risemart light so I ordered one. I was in need of a spare for one of my jackets so it was perfect timing. All I can say about it positively is that it lights up and throws a tight beam. If you need a light that has any water resistance though, you would be better off saving up for a better light. If you put even slight pressure on the lens you can push it inward. There is no seal to keep out water even though the caps have o rings after the threads! Maybe if you have some clear sealant or epoxy around and you want to fix this issue yourself it would be worth it, If not and you are going to use it in the rain or around water you might want to get something else.

[@korgan7779]

Great selection! Another good pen which I carried all through college is the Parker Jotter series which they do have in all stainless and use the "Parker style" refills including the Fisher Pen refills. I have and carry a Zebra 701 from time to time and if you remove the little plastic liner just inside the tip you can change the spring and ink refill to the same Parker/Fisher space pen refill. With the knife, I agree that the Tinker is a good option but even though the price goes up a bit (depending on sales) I would go with the Super Tinker for the added scissor layer.

[@DylanLey]

All are tried and true gear that won't break the bank! I really need to check out that multipen!

[@kevinn7161]

Thanks for showing that mini praxis, it hit all the points and with a great price as well!

[@420haxx]

I carried the same Zebra pen myself for 5 years, it's really nice to write with and tough as hell.

[@zacinthewild]

It’s such a good bang for your Buck!

[@adrenalinegroove]

Recently picked up a Fastback and I use it all day at work. The 1/4" driver makes it perfect for edc

[@The_OG_MP]

More like this! Simple, thought through, practical edc videos

[@SonicAlpha]

Those are some pretty solid selections, and mirror what I ended up going with for my EDC. My model choice varies a little (I use a Super Tinker, for example), but those items are a really good starting point. Cheers, Zac!

[@jimmeek8621]

Helpful as always. I’ve kept a pair of pliers like that in the trunk of my car for decades. But for “carry,” I’d prefer to spend twice as much for the 4.5” Channellock 524 slip joint pliers weighing only 3.2 oz. What I actually carry is the 1.6 oz. 4.5” Channellock 424 tongue and groove pliers, half the weight and price of the popular Knipex pliers so many carry.

[@zacinthewild]

Totally agree! With no budget restriction I would take a Knipex any day of the week👊

[@Retrievinggold]

Zac I took your advice on carrying the fast back, I’m a private contractor running water and wastewater plants and doing all the maintenance on them electrical,plumbing etc. I bought a fast back and now I have a whole packout system in my work truck complete with the packout coffee cup. Milwaukees black hole is real and it will suck you in

[@ricklebel6298]

I used to have that exact same motorcycle. My dad had the 175 version. Would love to have either one of them now

[@jasonjulian1]

Out of these choices, I think your personal picks at the end are spot on. Although... I have the i3t and I don't like the tailswitch. Too stuff. I've got to give it to the Streamlight Microstream here. I've got one I've had for well over 15 years that is still going strong. It's been ran over by a truck, dropped off a boat, ran over by a lawnmower and bagged, lol. And it still works. Looks like hell, but works.

[@zacinthewild]

That is a beast of a light! Love hearing use reviews like this💪

[@knighthawksuperhero]

I loved this man. Great job!! I have always loved budget gear, I have a few more expensive pieces but I love finding those stellar budget deals like that.

[@Leftyotism]

9:30 For starting that sentence like that you need to check out the Nitecore Tiki for 20 bucks, lol. It's an urban one though, easily chargeable via any computer or USB adapter from any outlet. Also great for the keys, up to 300 lumen and multiple times the functions - while still having the simple press and hold for instant max feature.

[@zacinthewild]

Great light just don’t like the battery option for most reliable😁🤘

[@Leftyotism]

Haha knew it! @@zacinthewild To be fair, if I was in the wild I would also prefer to have a battery powered one and some extra batteries for just in case. Good thing there is something for everyone!

[@austinbridge]

Zebra F-701 FTW 💪 That knurling is top notch.

[@Suspenso_PR]

I tried the Milwaukee 1505 back when Zac first mentioned it. Man! I've been in love with that tool. I would pick it over the Victornox because I run into too many Phillips screws, and that locking driver can do work. Love the video! Gotta check that Blue Boker, it looks awesome.

[@Grooveworthy]

Same, I use mine wayyyyy more than my actual knife. It works really well for me, because I need a work EDC that occasionally needs to cut drywall. It's possibly my favourite edc item.

[@tristanplude4889]

The Milwaukee fast back knife is hands down my favorite knife!! I have multiple benchmades and spyderco knives and I still carry I 25 dollar box cutter with screwdriver

[@williamyoung369]

The SAK Tinker is great. You can get it in a variety of art on the scales (example: Bacon pattern). You can get different color toothpicks & tweezers. SAK colored lanyards. And a SAK leather sheath for it. All are not expensive. I really like the Milwaukee 5 in 1, paired with a Knipex 4" plier. Zebra pens are great. I carry a larger Olight flashlight. My EDC is a bit more expensive, but I acquired it over time, not all at once. Great video.

[@jonlouis2582]

I like it. It's important to have options at different price points. I don't make a lot of money, and I can't relate to some of the super-premium EDC channels out there. Thanks guys.

[@mwfeatherston]

Great video. I love the reviews of the new stuff too. But that stuff can really add up. Thanks for putting out some beginner content. It really helps! Keep up the good work!

[@ivovass195]

Yes, best bang for buck video always a favourite. That multi pen is awesome. As always pick whatever you actually need\will use, not what looks fancy

[@jeffreyarnold2929]

Nice! Great video with no nonsense pocket dump. Love budget EDC.

[@Leftyotism]

Adjustable wrench pliers are the best though!

[@Ryan_the_tinz]

I appreciate a good budget video every one in a while to stay grounded. There are definitely diminishing returns the more expensive the gear. I will say, my recommendation for the best budget crossbar knife is the Scrade Divergent. It's surprisingly good for under $30. Unfortunately, I have had nothing but lemons from Boker.

[@LunarTaco]

Im rocking the civivi Bull Mastiff and just recently picked up the gerber armbar drive this weekend and i am really happy with it. I have the alpaka zip pouch pro and can fit both in there. Im surprised i can fit the full bull mastiff in it, but it's tight.

[@StinkyWeiner]

It’s funny how “edc” has evolved to what it is today. Nice to see a true throwback on this . Working around on the house and just having a random pair of pliers on you just makes sense, leave the house and they are still on you, bam gotta change a fuse on the pickup and your covered

[@Phyxsius_85]

The price of the Lumintop tool AAA is between these two lamps, and I think it is a better choice. 3 modes of operation, 5, 32, 110 lumens. As for everything else, I would take the Fastback, the Knipex Cobra XS pencil is not important to me. Whatever I have, it's important that it works. That would be my basic EDC that doesn't drain the wallet too much :)

[@zacinthewild]

Love the light suggestion! I’ll check it out.

[@austinadventure]

Awesome video, i used to carry a civivi elementum and olight i3t eos, recently got the fenix e12 and it is such a nice upgrade, for not too much more cost.

[@TylerHaley]

for budget flashlight I would highly recommend: Sofirn, Wurkkos, Fenix, Nitecore, Lumintop, Streamlight, Thrunight.

[@crusiethmaximuss]

I haven't thought of carryin' a pair of pliers prior to this video and it jus' makes so much sense...

[@zacinthewild]

[@crusiethmaximuss]

[@hoss4876]

The zebra f-01 with a. Parker space pen has been my go to pen for several years. Sucks to loose one but if you do it’s not a huge deal. Super cheap to replace

[@willeniumfalcon]

Hook blades are the way to go if you're breaking down a ton of cardboard. Love that you can stash an extra blade in the 1505

[@MNWoodland]

For a flashlight, the streamlight microstream aaa is great. I got it on sale for $12 on Amazon.

[@calebthornburg896]

Zac. I respectfully submit the Bic 4 color pen for your consideration. 4 pens in the form factor of a sharpie! I get a lot of flack for mine but I wouldn't be caught without it.

[@Iamjustdanny]

Love it. Especially the pen recommendation. Just put an order in for one.

[@sageata_verde]

Also for power, i always carry 2 power banks and at least 2 wall chargers plus the cables, and in case of blackout i have at home a solar power usb charger which i also take on my trips outdoor. batteries die, leak and i just like charging everything via USB, i tested it on a 4 day camping trip and worked amazing. yes its a lil bulky, its about the size of my macbook air m1, but i prefer having only that one and my phone when i go hiking since the video editing software works on both and i will probably not edit a lot of software when im camping. so in my bag the place where my laptop usually stays is replaced with a solar power charger

[@el_blaxicano2]

Mini Praxis was an instant buy when it first came out, have been carrying it proudly since then.

[@ToolsandTime]

Good clarification on ultra budget--great use and excellent value, not the cheapest thing you can find. Cool video and thanks for sharing!

[@TheHallamski]

Regarding the pen youll want to go for the zebra f-xmd which is an upgrade to the one you mentioned. All metal construction no plastic on the clicker portion. :)

[@peterw8835]

I really like these videos or yours. These are items that are easy to find in many places.

[@user-bz7fg1pk4lbo7]

Great Video Zac. My EDC has been somewhat Pricey to Mid-Range over the years. But, since retiring, I find I'm trying to stretch a dollar a little more than I used to. Mainly because I have more time on my hands now and do more stuff. I need to have my "Walking Around Money" and my Wife likes to take road trips to visit family. Now instead of buying the $300 knife, I'm looking more at Kershaws, Gerbers and Bokers. Instead of buying a $250 Surefire, I'm leaning more toward the Streamlight and Olight. But I'm finding that I'm just as happy and well equipped on the budget stuff as I was the Big Dollah brands. Keep the great videos coming. I look forward to them.

[@zacinthewild]

Agree all day with this sentiment. I definitely prefer to spend money on experiences over things👊

[@mistold]

I've enjoyed my smootherpro bolt action pen on Amazon. Swapped the inks

[@iowafox2206]

Ive been carrying a Coast G22 AAA light a good while now and its been great make sure to add a little grease on the oring and threads to help it last longer for sure. I agree with this all but add in one of those little pocket screwdrivers the slim flathead type great for poking and cleaning out some stuck things.

[@zacinthewild]

Those little screwdrivers can be so handy! Never really considered them until we pocket checked mechanics. It was fun seeing how they used them all the time.

[@tystrange9602]

This is the most practical EDC video of all time. SAK Tinker, Locking Folding knife, and a good pair of slip joint pliers\Knipex beat any Leatherman (Even the ARC, sorry fanboys). Having a good flashlight is critical as well and a nice pen is handy also.

this is very similar to what i carry at work for hotel maint, i made a little pocket holster for my cargo pocket that has my knipex cobras (though i may switch to twin grips), the klein impact 11 in 1, nail setter and countycomm flipbit micro screwdriver along with my pm2 and milwuakee. i do 95% of my work with those tools btw id look into japanese slip joints, dngineer makes a good one with screw plier capabilities and its dirt cheap

[@dylanlaunspach2859]

Thank you for the great video. If I may just add something for newer people, don't feel pressured to always get a dedicated knife. There is very little you will have to do daily that a dedicated knife can do that a victorinox can't. Additionally, depending on your country or workplace environment, you may find that some things are easier to motivate having compared to others. For example, my university would not allow me on campus with a dedicated knife (honey badger) but we're fine with my leatherman wingman, as they saw it as a tool.

[@zacinthewild]

Totally agree!

[@Grooveworthy]

Hey, good list, I really liked your knife and tool recs, bit I felt the flashlight segment left a lot to be desired. There's way better budget options out there! The Lumintop AA Tool 2.0 is a fantastic pick. It's like 18 bucks USD, has a USB-C rechargeable lithium 14500, but it can also take regular AA as a backup (or another 14500)! Max 650 lumens and better color rendering than the olights, which are what i was rocking before this. Definitely a solid go-to for me. The USB rechargeable battery is fantastically convenient. I think your stance on rechargeable would shift radically if you had this guy. If you can charge a phone, you can charge a light. I've bought other fancier and brighter lights but the AA Tool is the one that I always go for.

[@Ashton.everydaycarry]

Some really good budget items! The only thing i would add or recommend is a notebook. You could skmething super basic by going to the dollar store even.

[@BillyWalters-c3f]

[@cylentone]

Great topic, always fun to see what value you can get for a small budget. When I started out putting my first budget EDC kit together, I wound up with: Ruike P801 knife. Keychain: Olight I3E flashlight, Victorinox Classic Alox, True Utility Key Tool, CRKT Pry Cutter Bit Tool. Fisher Space Pen with clip. BTW Zac: you forgot to mention that the Olight I3T has a clip that lets you attach it to the brim of your cap - I have it too 😎🧢🔦

[@zacinthewild]

[@jeffreydawson4520]

Couldn’t agree more on the budget options. Love my Milwaukee 1505 and I carried the same style Zebra 705 pen for the majority of my military career. I think there’s too much reliance on rechargeable batteries and having something that you can easily swap batteries into makes sense (I can walk into almost any store and get AA or AAA batteries). You can also add a bit of whimsy in your life if you get the Dessert or Wiener Warrior Victorinox from BladeHQ for your SAK, if you’re so inclined.

[@zacinthewild]

So many fun versions of different SAKs for sure!

I love a good multi pen. I've been caring the Pentel Vicuna EX. A three function pen currently on Amazon for around 9 bucks. I would also say that the olight you put up is a bit large in my pocket. I've been poking around for something slightly smaller that will do the job.

[@texmex8220]

streamlight makes a model called the stylus. a single and a double AAA battery version

[@1337flite]

I have a Lamy Pen that does the pencil, pen and hilighter (I replaced the hilighter with red pen). It's pretty cool but the gravity selector on that MF-20K3B-SV pen is very cool. If the Lamy wasn't a gift from my bro from another mo I'd replace it with an MF-20K3B-SV - just for that gravtiy function. Either way combination pen and pencil is such a handy thing. A pencil will write of stuff a pen won't - and if you need to sign a paper form, they often insist on ink not pencil. Best o' both worlds. I think I might get one of the MF-20K3B-SV for my nephew - he's in the Army Cadets (Junior ROTC???) he'd love that for navigation data sheets and navigation generally. Nice choice. Hope we can see a mid range version of this soon. The high end is constantly covered, you've done budget, so mid range for guys who have a bit of cash to splash, but still can't afford MangaCut and Titanium. Still love your work - and the camera guy whose name I can never remember - Jamie??? (Sorry mate). Thank y'all.

[@Tony2Wild3]

I think the 1505 and tinker combo is a great option… the nox is small enough to throw anywhere and has the tweezers and pick. The 1505 has the bigger driver and the interchangeable blades… this combo would work for most people as with most daily task they don’t need a giant separate multi tool and karambit style blade to open boxes and cut threads

[@Tony2Wild3]

As far as pens I like the twin tip sharpies. You can get a 4 pack for $10 so $2.50 each. And you get both a fine point pen and marker

[@Tony2Wild3]

For lights, I like the little keychain button lights. You can get the regular white light or red light based on preference… won’t light up a whole forest but will provide light when it’s dark and your trying to unlock a door or whatever

[@MrLlama999]

The Coast G22 from REI is also a great cheap flashlight.

[@thepunisher4598]

Hi Zac & Jamie! Another cool video! You are showing different options with people on a budget! I have the Milwaukee only with the blade! I have OLIGHT flash lights which I carry! I bought a Sencut knife for a budget option! I like tactical options! I have an OLIGHT small pen! I don’t carry any pliers because I don’t have a need for them when I am out!

Harbor freight would be a good place to make a quality kit for not that much money also. The new icon pocket knife($40), icon 3 position pliers($20), plenty of pen/smaller style lights to choose from, the new jobsite permanent markers($2) for 2 and im sure other writing utensils. For a pocket size screwdriver/ratchet kit the icon locking flex head kit($40) is awesome.

Splurge on the tinker, bank pen, Harbor Freight light, Bic lighter, bandanna. Everything every day with a total under $30.

Great video, have you had any experience with the Rite in the Rain pens or the Fisher Space pen?

[@TWknives]

Awesome quality content as always. Also, is this the first time we have seen your hair ?

I like titanium handled knives with s30v steel. A good small and bright flashlight, multiple modes don't matter. And a gerber or leatherman multi tool.

Ready for almost anything with that carry👊
