Cool pouch. Something I’d personally add might be a $20. Never know when you might lose your wallet

[@ungabunga6735]

As much as most people hate it you should always carry cash on you because it’s accepted everywhere

[@ballagh]

I’ve got a £20 note in a capsule on my keys. It gets used maybe twice a year, usually with food or coffee stands where their card/contactless machines have gone down.

[@user-st3xv7dc3s]

Lmaoo that way it’s 100% a purse 👜 😂😂😂 I like the “manly” touches soyboys

[@pyzmark]

@@user-st3xv7dc3syou’d rather not be able to pay for gas. Sounds pretty manly

[@SuperbChicken]

@@ungabunga6735i’ve had plenty of places not accept cash. Always have both

[@jefferybradford5936]

My favorite thing about this pouch set up is it’s pretty damn impressive how much you were able to pack inside it and still be comfortable in your pocket. True I’d switch a couple things out for other stuff I would need but that’s because I’d need them for work. Which is where something like this would be perfect for

[@MrTRS4444]

First off I would just like to say that I love how positive you are with your words and how clean your videos are. I just happened to stroll across your page a couple months ago and i’ve learned a lot about a lot of EDC micro and regular everyday carry stuff. I think you have such a great thing going here and I hope your channel keeps growing because I love it. My favorite thing was the flint that’s hidden when you need it. Happy days my friend. - Trev

[@brucemacdonald876]

I find a Victorinox Classic SD to be one of the most useful tools to carry, especially the tweezers. Other bits and pieces I like to carry for urban survival tasks include a small notebook, a ballpoint pen, a magnifying glass, microfibre cloth, and a Streamlight Microstream. Cool video, thanks Taylor.

[@Proyectosandia]

The Classic SD is indeed the best small tool ever. I've had one in the Keychain for over a decade, and use it twice a week. I gifted some to family and friends who are not in the hobby, and everyone loves them.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Survived 40+ years without an edc pouch, and sometimes my trusted victorinox.

[@PiLLO360]

@@CyberBeep_kenshithen you didn’t do enough brother .

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

@@PiLLO360 lol, you have no idea....

[@chrisclark5135]

Thanks Taylor - my favorite thing in your pouch is probably the Cable Card. I feel like I would need to have one of those on hand at all times. Thanks for sharing!

[@CarnivoreRonin]

The Leatherman Micra is my favorite thing from this setup. Having good scissors is extremely handy! But, I'm definitely going to pick up a pocket pouch. I've been carrying a Maxpedition micro for over 3 years.

[@3Kitais]

First time on your channel, great video! My favorite thing? The “effort” you put in to the case itself (which is awesome) to improve your EDC, because we learn and change for the better and so do products. On top of that you shared with us what works and doesn’t work and provided links so we can make purchases (every one appreciates that!). Thanks again for the video. Take care.

[@camiloparrasalazar9157]

You need the WIHA 13-piece double sided bit driver set. They work amazingly with the Leatherman’s Ratchet and Driver Extension. They have the same kind of notch that the double-sided flat bits have. They fit very well into it but they are not hard to remove like others.

[@dlajb]

i was looking to see if anyone have said it already. you nailed it!

[@beardedbrotographer2933]

My favorite thing is the Leatherman ratchet to go with your powerpint. It makes absolute perfect sense. I would personally ditch the nail clippers tweezers and the micra for some kind of slim bit storage to solve that problem

[@matthewmchenry2889]

I haven't tried it, but that looks like it would be slip city when attempting to apply anything beyond 80% of screw driver level of torque. Victorinox makes a little bit driver wrench / bit-caddy system that is smaller than the multi-tool itself and will let you reach way higher torque. Don't get me wrong, that Leatherman ratcheting driver extension looks slick and I might just have to find an excuse to buy one.

[@aaronmcclain1279]

I carry it Chum's wallet with a small Altoids tin with with 3mm to 12 mm bits and I've got everything in metrics quarter inch drive bits torques Robinsons Phillips all the way up to three in large flats and one in this tins I carry a Craftsman ratchet knipex cobras xs. a rite in the rain pen and a 2 in extension and a quarter inch extension and a quarter inch 3/8 extension. . To work you working machine shop always need to get into a little panel or have some metrics or something tighten up a fastener but I also carry a stainless steel comb it's got a few other things a bottle opener and some metric wrenches and a little bitty scale use that to come my beard out if I've got metal chips or shavings of any sort plus I carry a streamlight stylus pro I also carry the Milwaukee six and one so there's a screwdriver plus all the other things I can add to it and it's a razor knife and carry spare blades

[@rocketpocketshot]

Ordered due to this got a great deal on it have the swiss kit too

[@gradlemeritsmith5867]

Favorite item in my old and weathered pouch are the tiny bags of sawdust I use for tinder. Hint : Black Walnut is the best. It lights up immediately!

[@bassingbasics6621]

I can’t go two seconds without nail clippers

[@Every_Day_Aaron]

My favorite thing is the TPT safe-carry inserts - I bought a pack of those and use them with my GilTek RUK sometimes. Love that they’re TSA approved!!

[@thetravelingkites]

The KableCARD would be my favorite thing. Having just entered van life, we are downsizing everything we can. ~Randy I always enjoy your videos. There is something about the great lighting, woodgrain desk and clarity of focus that makes it always enjoyable to chill and drool over your EDC gear.

[@JonGadget]

Great to see Taylor - thanks for sharing.

[@m0riss]

Wiha double ended bits - for the driver. But keep in mind that when the standard size bits, when magnetically retained, will still be hard to pul out because the LM ratchet is much deeper then a standard 1/4 extension/driver usually is.

[@noe_calles]

I was about to write the same thing. I have had the wiha kit on my amazon list thinking between buying it and not to have bits for my leatherman adapter

[@matthewmchenry2889]

@@noe_calles link to the product?

[@NCPaladin]

Hey Taylor. Nice, well thought out setup. Creative use of the TPT insert with the mini/micro ferro rod.

[@CullenKawano]

I have loved the tip about the "Big Idea Design TPT Safe-Carry Inserts" I love having them in fact a bought a few extra and have one attached to the magnet on my office desk hutch so it's always in easy reach. You just reminded me that I need to get a few more as gifts and such. Thank you for the Awesome content!!

[@Tj-ck4vv]

I feel the cable card is most excellent! Thank you Tayler for all that you do!

[@DauntlessGamez]

Not sure if it counts as “put in” but I definitely think the zipper pull is the coolest thing about the entire set up. Keep up the great vids man.

[@KiskeyaLife]

Definitely the CableCard! Everything else is great too, but I feel I got similar things in my gobag already. It's the charging phone aspect that still takes away some space.

[@havok4103]

First time i saw the nail clippers was on a show of yours. Now I cannot live without them. Most definitely my fav piece of gear in the pouch!

[@ImMrBdub]

My first pouch is in the mail so thanks for the great ideas, bandaids are definitely a must!

[@andrewcardillo4376]

My favorite is the KableCARD. Love how efficiently that is designed! I love my Lever Gear kits but this might just replace them. The wireless charge feature is awesome!

[@321tennisplayer]

Great stuff. One suggestion, with the spark rod hold it with the SOG pliers and put the hair band to keep tension on it thus making a spark rod with a full sized handle.

[@DiggingBuddy]

Oh, yeah! I gotta update my little pouch, thanks for all of the recommendations!

[@gagerisley5021]

The Leatherman Micra is my favriot thing because I've had one and found it to be extremely useful. Thank you for another awesome video😁

[@leonhurney4369]

For the double sided bit theres many options that come in most 10in1, 12in1, ect style screwdrivers. The best two I’ve found are the Klein brand and the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee double sided bit from the utility knife with built in driver is much smaller(shorter) if your trying to keep size weight down. They both actually look around the same size but trust me the Klein version is longer. ( I lost my original Milwaukee and replaced with Klein and found that with the Klein bit it’s too long to fully close back in handle)

[@timb4425]

I think the Leatherman micra is the best tool in the kit. It offers a bunch of function in such a small package. Great video.

[@matthewmchenry2889]

Haven't used one, but it looks to me like I'd agree with his assessment that it's just a nice pair of scissors with some sub-par attachments. I have a Leatherman Squirt in a similar application and I'd say that is generally more robust. The squirt is a pair of pliers on the primary lever of the tool, but still has what I would call a fine pair of scissors as one of the multi-tool arms. I guess there is a market for the Micra, but I'd say if you need better snips on your multi-tool, you'd actually just be way better off with a more general multi-tool and a pair of snips properly dedicated to whatever the hell it is you find yourself needing to do all the time.

[@tombradshaw3083]

Just want to say. Absolutely the best quality videos I watch on KZbin and I watch a LOT of KZbin. Keep up the great work

[@sman2000ifly]

Thanks for this video. Been trying to figure out what i need for my EDC pocket pouch. This vid gave me some good ideas

[@that_one_guy_6759]

I think my favorite unique thing that I may start carrying is the 550 cord with the kindling inside. Very unique but easily forgettable. But also could be life changing.

[@matthewmchenry2889]

Even regular 550 cord will serve as an outstanding improvised tinder.

[@GBall_Vision]

Titan survival makes some awesome usa made Paracord bracelets. And they are heavy duty have firecord and other lines built in. Ive gotten 3 off them over 2.5-3 years. All still holding up well I always have it on my wrist. It's several feet of Paracord I forget the exact length

[@awkwerdcreations408]

I love the cable card. Just can come in clutch when you need it. Also for the titanium bit, could you put a magnet or even metal rod where the keyring is supposed to go? Just curious if that would give enough retention. Love the kit either way. Smart way to do it

[@cannediplays5497]

my favorite item from the pouch was the ratchet screwdriver, I had never seen such a compact one. Thanks for doing these videos, they are very informational and I can just lay down and watch or listen to you in the background.

[@jordanholmes9943]

I definitely looked into that cable card thing last time you mentioned it on the channel, but the micra is my favorite. My dad carried one of those on his keys for years. Always handy to have around.

[@timdagger7592]

Favourite thing is the cable card - It's definitely on my "to purchase" list. I do the same thing with the hair ties too - plus, I have daughters... Wondering about bit retention - could you fit a piece of steel rod in the void in the centre of the micro bit? Might work.

[@jaymz1251]

I just bought this bit and had the same problem Taylor has, I put a tiny magnet in the hole with some glue

[@matthewmchenry2889]

If you find yourself short on daughters' hair ties in a SHTF scenario, the kitted scissors or even the knife should easily hold enough of an edge to remove that problem.

[@TheGamingRestorian]

Hmm, I'd add a spare ziplock bag. You never know when you need to keep the whole kit waterproof

[@corywilliams2408]

the cable card is pretty handy. the whole pouch is awesome thanks for sharing

[@dougbotimer8005]

Nice. I’ve put together a similar EDC pouch, for myself and my wife, based on a UK KZbinr’s similar pouch. I wish I’d known about the Cable Card before I got the Cable kit. I’m amazed how much utility you fit in that small pouch.

[@terrytaylor4612]

I like the way you were able to incorporate three sources of tender. One with the zipper pull, the duck tape, and also the cotton in the stash container. Definitely a good use of space.

[@sebastianvolc1248]

The Cablecard is awesome and I use it fairly regularly. But my favorite thing you did is the genius use of a tinderpull in combination with the reflecting bead. Great idea!

[@HappyOrwell]

big fan of the essential backup gear in a pouch kept in a jacket pocket, car, or bag! Nice vid

[@NathanWells]

My favorite thing is the SOG Powerpint + Leatherman ratchet combo. I use the same combo in my EDC and I love it. The Powerpint makes a surprisingly comfortable driver handle, and the ratchet makes driving screws so much easier.

[@yvonnemichel6764]

I love the phone accessories kit, the ratchet screwdriver set-up. I'm so impressed with the pouch. Everything fit!

[@mcvlibra]

Absolutely love the pouch! Especially the Kablecard so, so handy! Some of the things I would substitute, for example nail clippers for a small swiss knife that has a great sharp blade and a small pair of scissors. I always carry it with me on my key chain and use it very often. Great video, thank you very much!

[@alipiocalzolari5212]

I LOVED the Card Cable Kit!

[@aricballard9051]

I loved that KableCard! That’s such a handy tool especially for traveling!

Favorite thing in the pouch is probably the Leatherman Ratchet Driver. I really need to get one. I also really like how you paired it with the SOG multitool, really cool. Awesome little kit you put together.

[@Leland1983Jr]

Absolutely love this idea. Honestly it’s pretty hard to just choose one. I really like the Leatherman ratchet, paired with the SOG powerpint, but also really like the KableCARD. I’m definitely going to put one together for myself. Thanks for the video.

[@JACathcart5181]

I love that CableCard. I use the Lever Gear cables, but need two of them to get the same number of adapters as the card. Plus the wireless charging feature is amazing. Well done Taylor!

[@blueshadow84]

I picked up a set of those tweezers based on the other video you did, and those have come in super handy, and my favorite item in this pouch.

[@abeydejesus9349]

I loved the little ratchet tool. That was awesome!!!

[@chipneal]

Love the ratchet bit driver that works with your SOG multi-tool.

[@WayneHocking]

I love the nail clippers. Always needing them and I like the ones you showed. Will be buying a set ASAP!

The leatherman micra is wonderful, I’ve had one in the backpack that I take to work with me for years. It sees a fair amount of use

[@fman1517]

My favorite thing is the pouch.. the amount of stuff you can fit in one is wild!

[@briannordwall7631]

Very informative. Just started my edc pouch. Really like the Kablecard.

[@cgbaca74]

I love the fact that you carry the almost exact setup fin there that i keep in my pocket for nail clippers tweezers and Ti toothpick.

[@ll_lopez176]

Favorite thing has got to be that TPT slide! I’ve always loved that tool!

[@littlemountain6413]

That cable card looks really useful. I would defiantly carry something like that in a pouch. Awsome vid man!

[@pokitstuff]

I love the nail clippers. I think they are the most compact version I’ve seen.

[@gmt5664]

My fav thing is the Micra since I also carry that for the scissors. I add a rovyVon A5 and nail clippers I bought during a trip to China 20 years ago cuz I left mine at home. Keep just the 3 things in a Lewis and Clark pouch that I already have and which I like because it has a pocket clip. Wouldn't mind a new pouch, though. Great vid. TFS

[@yvonnemichel6764]

Very well thought out edc.

[@vincentdeingeniis5391]

My favorite is the uncle bills sliver grippers, as an avid outdoorsman getting ticks and splinters are commonplace, I will definitely be picking a set up after watching this video!

[@reneramon]

My favorite item is the cable card. I asked for one this past Xmas and it's come in handy several times already. I know I've used it at least 2-3 times a month.

[@stephentinnirella7917]

Your videos are very informative I watch them almost on the daily basis I have my own every day carry and I sometimes tweak to my liking but in this video I especially love these micro tool with adapters, I also like the cable card !

That KableCard is awesome. I love this channel. We see some awesome stuff on here, but that product has got more functionality packed into it than I have ever seen of its kind. 10/10 will be purchasing one and will be adding it to my sling bag.

[@AnnieGill7]

The card with all the different charging tips! Very cool.

[@dianewalker9154]

I think my favorite thing in your pouch were the heavy duty needles. Never thought about carrying any, but they have so many uses.

[@kevinaitken4864]

Great video! The ratchet is super cool. I like how you use your pouch more as a compliment to your daily carry. I tend to use mine more as a supplement to my carry. Thus I keep a rovyon, lighter and small knife in mine. Also I carry a flattened Dixie cup in my pouch!

[@scottseverythingoutdoors462]

You can fit alot more in that pouch than you would think foresure! I liked the phone adapter card so I had to get one ! Great Channel!

[@tonymartens2332]

We all live with and use electronics, so I think the Cable Card is a great most have. Another great video Taylor.

[@DorkForge]

For me, the ratcheting driver is definitely the best part. It really lets you elevate another part of your EDC into more of a dedicated tool role. I have a pouch I use from Viperade, in it I carry a booboo kit, some cordage, a single dose super glue, a Leather Style PS, Zippo (w/ Zippo butane insert), diffuser that fits a AAA light, Burt's Bees, a keychain loyalty card with medical and electrical tape wrapped around it, some q-tips, and safety pins. Not a comprehensive list, but the bulk of the items.

[@MrLandphill]

the Kablecard looks very useful. Another great video, thanks for the time you put into bringing great content to your viewers.

[@cjd2990]

I have recently purchased a Power Pint based upon your videos. The leatherman rachet driver with the Power Pint is A+. Definitely do not leave home without it.

[@awildzubat7457]

For sure the ratcheting bit Holder! I'm definitely picking one up thank you for informing🙏

[@AnthonyAwaken]

Good looking kit, bro! The pouch looks fantastic as well.

[@JakeAung]

This is a very cool idea and setup. Love the pouch and my favorite item in it is the grooming kit, nail clipper/tweezer/toothpick. Cheers!

[@bruceburkhart1650]

The leatherman ratcheting driver used with the sog is brilliant! The cable card is really cool, too. Great overview by the way! I have some steel double ended bits but they are at least an inch and a half long. That's the smallest I can find.

[@ungabunga6735]

I used to carry an altoid mini tin in my pocket when I used to go to practice with some guys I jammed with. It had guitar picks and a gram in it. Perfect size

[@ryanb6878]

favourite is the Kablecard! So confident to have everything in one place!

[@jigginwithg5595]

The cable card for sure. This video actually made me want to buy one lol. Seems super handy for trips, hotels, cars, etc

[@notme123123]

I’d say the KableCARD was the one I am most interested in. I have a giant cable pouch I carry in my computer bag, but that looks way more efficient. Thanks for the idea!

[@braydenmiller8021]

That little nail clippers is pretty neat! Cool little pouch as well.

[@Burn327]

The fingernail clipper! It’s amazing. So handy and barely noticeable in a pouch. Great recommendation.

[@Toles1987]

The Uncle Bill's are a true classic for any EDC pouch kit!

[@bamf3313]

My favorite thing is the nail clippers. I have some very similar. I think the manufacture is true. Very handy. Been used once a week for about 5 years now

[@enriquediaz7547]

Same here! I started using a Tom Bihn pouch (in blue).

[@zpowell87]

Great vid! I love carrying the little nail clippers and another little blade. ZF pouch is pretty cool too! Love little pouches to keep some EDC around me.

[@joeyoneda5387]

I really like the tinderZip for the zipper pull idea. Brilliant!

The nail clippers is honestly my favorite thing in the kit. It's an item you never think about until you need it and then when you don't have any, it drives you nuts.

[@stevenhung455]

Favorite thing is the leatherman ratchet tool. Very similar to the Topeak ratchet tool I keep in my kit and have used so much.

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I really like the compact design of that kit!! I have something similar. The only thing I might add is a small emergency whistle, I have a small flat one in my kit.

[@E_G_E51]

That Leatherman Ratchet tool is awesome. I recently got one and it's so freaking handy

[@Brian_D.]

Favorite thing is honestly the hair tie. Rubber bands and things to keep stuff together or closed are so useful and I never have one when I need it. Thankfully my fiancée usually has one.

[@deborahhansen2983]

Oh that cable card makes my heart go pitter-patter! That’s my favorite. I would say that the zipper pull is a close second though. So functional and it looks good too.

[@nickrantz9]

The KableCARD is one of the best EDC items I've ever seen. Like literally. Fills so many needs. Going to buy one now

[@justinjohnson6445]

Love the nail clippers. I always keep some on me. I’d also probably add a small bic lighter in place of the multi tool being you keep one in your pocket already
