Cool gear, but sound problems at 11:38 11:55 12:39
i thought it was me.
8:25 one small note, for first aid kits. only carry what you know how to use, you could potentially cause more harm than good if you don’t know how to use what is in your first aid kit.
what if you are with someone who can use it though? Could save a life.. better to have then not have
Just don't perform if you dont know how
that doesnt make sense lmao, you might be with someone who can use something basic you carry with you
12:39 Rikki had a good point *crickets* lolol
What if you need to charge a device and there’s no wall outlets around…….This is why you should have some sort of battery bank in your bag too👍🏻Awesome video it’s always nice to see what other people carry in their bag.
In a go-everywhere module that fits all my packs, I've got a reverse charging 18650 flashlight held in reserve specifically for phone charging (and the rare large lighting task), as well as a 14500 flashlight for regular lighting needs.
Duct tape wrapped around an old credit card, small emergency TP, and a little food like a protein bar and beef jerky.
I like to keep a sharpie or 2 in mine so I can write on more surfaces than what a pen can. and a pack of post-it notes to go along with a note pad/book
Something I grew quite fond of are the Grid-It organizers from Cocoon. These are really great when you have a big pouch and a bunch of items that you'd otherwise just dump in it.
Chain stitch the cable so you have both working ends close at hand and quickly access just the cordage you need. LOVE YOUR videos. Keep up the great work
Is it just me or did something go sideways with the editing on this video?
Yea, especially in the secondary wallet section lol
AI editing
i was just about to write this same thing lol
Definitely not you, man.
Surely this is a missupload, it must not be a finalised version
Good list of items. Many of the things I tend to carry myself. I got an Analogue Pocket back in August and yes, retro gaming is a blast. Highly recommended!
Starting to notice these videos are all the same now. Same gear just in a different carrying method… car, backpack, pocket, ect
It's how it's been. Edc videos are just clickbait to entice people to overspend on things they don't need for their daily life.
Back in the day, we use to call these commercials.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. My EDC pack got broken apart and dispersed into my truck or office a while back. It's been on my mind to repack/update. Keep up the great work!
A lot of cool stuff for sure and thanks for sharing. For me I’ve made a concerted effort to stop acquiring so much gear. It’s just an endless rabbit hole. 🤷🏼♂️
One thing I carry with me are reusable zip ties. I absolutely love them.
All zip ties are reusable.
Solid video! Beauty of EDC is while there is commonly accepted ideas, many people cater to their own lives. My biggest disagreement is the battery pack. Having a solid battery pack in your EDC backpack is truly a must in my opinion. I carry a couple USB A and C bricks and cords for multiple devices (for me and others) and it takes up a fraction of the space in one of my two interior mesh pocket. I’d argue it takes up less space than your plug in extension/multi charging cable and long cord setup. This isn’t me throwing any disrespect but the beauty of a battery pack is there’s no need for outlets and any hikes, emergencies or daily use comes with knowing you’ll always have your lifeline open to you because you can charge it right from your pack. Not to mention the mobile side of it. No need to stay stationary and be stuck in place waiting for a charge. Whereas deciding not to carry a battery pack and instead a charging cable, it assumes you’ll have access to a charging location.
If you do a lot of work on the go I'd also suggest a portable surge protector. The last thing you need is to have a piece of gear get "zapped" by a power surge when plugging in at coffee shops or other random places. It's probably not all that likely to happen but as someone who once had a laptop component get fried by a power surge I'd HIGHLY recommend it.
Hmm, there must be a really compact one on the market to service the needs of all the digital nomads out there.
@@sda4jesus1Tripp lite makes a couple
Enjoyed it Taylor.
Merry Christmas man!
Great video! So my recommendation is seasonal clothing/cover. So winter I keep spare wool socks, wool hat and gloves. Summer I might have a cooling towel, sunscreen and a boonie just as a backup. I get sweaty year round doing work I love having spares
Thank you for this video. Well done!
I just got a rite in the rain/field notes organizers myself for work, edc. I like the fact that it protects my rite in the rain notebook
For the artists out there a dedicated pen and pencil case is a must in the back pack.
Yeah and instead of a mini notebook, might as well carry a full size college spiral notebook
It gives the backpack some structure as well
I always have a pair of nitrile coated ANSI A4 gloves. Good to protect from heat, broken glass, chemicals or whatever filth I get stuck dealing with, and cheap enough that I don't mind discarding them.
I like a solid colored handkerchief in case I need a work surface. Staring at a busy printed pattern while working with small parts sucks.
Solid recommendations. Sling Bag makes sense for travel maybe not everyday. But our backgrounds are different. Also I'd put a more powerful flashlight in the bag and scrap a backup wallet. I like the heroclip for sure.
Dope vid! Those little tins at the end were sweet 🔥
My fav EDC videos are the ones for car camping and backpacking❤❤❤
Have y’all looked into the Tale of Knives holsters?.. multi tool, pen and flashlight spots on your hips
Always nice to get some edc inspiration 👍
Really very nice >>>>>> Thank you .
Oh yeah big idea design makes great stuff. I already got my pre-order in for that backpack. Can’t wait for it to show up.
The one thing I always thought was silly was handkerchiefs, but I was going through a lot of tissue when winter came in, so I got some to lower my tissue expenses. Now I carry 3 at all times in my backpack and 1 in my pocket. 3 are cotton; 1 for my hands and 2 for my nose. 1 is microfiber for my phone screen and food knife.
I recommend them to so many people because they end up using one of my clean ones regularly.
A good bandana has a hundred and one uses. I never leave the house without one. I keep one in my pants pocket, one in my jacket pocket, and one in my bag.
I father also likes to use handkerchiefs to clean his glasses, hands and nose.
Unfortunately, it's the same handkerchief.
I was watching a prep video one time and this guy really shed light on the use of good, old fashion white cotten handkerchiefs. He had washed a new banana in with his wife's clothes and ruined them. She obviously freaked.
So the light bulb went off in his head about using these things to prefilter water. This has to be one of the biggest DAH issues in the entire prepping community. Going even beyond chemical dyes in average soaps, laundry detergants and fabric softeners. I mean Tide Pods, hello.
So to think of going to the effort to save a water filter or better purify water by dumping in dyes and detergants is laughable really. Not to mention the effect on the actual filter 😅.
An one more thing is to advise people that a Smaug or Bandana can be used as a wound dressing is pretty scary as well. In the world wars they would shred up white cotten or linnen bedsheets and the dyes back then were far more natural then the chemicals and fabric treatments another thing, or crap we use as sun blockers, or the big one bug sprays, DEET, Permethrian, etc...that get on everything we come in contact with .... SMH.
Can you imagine using a banana you had around your neck, or a smaug over your head, or part of a shirt now to prefilter 😆 drinking water ?
And no one talkes about it .... I mean...?????
Another good thing is for the summer, if you sweat a lot lol
@@Klp85 That’s what I use it for the most of I’m being honest. Lol
Best notebooks hands down is Midori aka travelers company. It’s a modular notebook system, amazing leather, paper that’s thin and doesn’t bleed through. It surpasses field notes and rite in the rain by miles. I’ve had mine 10+ years and never plan on changing
You are the first person I"ve seen use those velcro cable ties correctly! Bravo!
Wuben X3 is good. lightweight, 180 degrees turing head, magnetic bottom. Its a must to me. 👍
Coffee shop owners hate him!😅
What's the honing tool with leather strop in your tool bag? Thanks
The pouch in the backpack is a gamechanger.
@Ricky, that's a very good point! @12:36
Can you do a review on the hand held and how it’s works like do you have to load games on it does it come with games.? Where did you get yours
👍 Love the firstaid kit! I have a small setup from North American Rescue I keep in my bag.
What make/model/brand is the blue mini knife sharpener/strop in your mini tool kit?
That first aid kit you’re holding in the video with brown and red cross I’m interested in that. Where did you get that? I need something a little bit bigger.
Where did you get that smallest red medic pouch that says ZF on it? I am looking for one that size.
what is the probe looking device with the twine wrap?
A power brick is a must. You never know when one of your devices is about to run out of battery and you might not have access to a wall plug.
A tritium fob would be more ideal for the first aid pouch since it’s gonna be in a. Dark space. More expensive but totally worth it
I've been enjoying the background item(s) in your vids--the FRA-JEE-LAY leg lamp, and now the...tactical dude? I look forward to whatever will be over your shoulder in the future. :-)
I always carry a roll up shopping bag or plastic bag in my urban edc bag, for ...carrying shopping. And a hank of cord, most often used for carrying larger boxes or slinging them over by shoulder.
A small 250cc water bottle. About 1 cup of water for drinking and washing hands or knife blade.
I always roll with a compress-to-fist-sized air weight Patagonia daypack in my main pack. Sea to Summit makes one too.
Tom Bihn (a bag company) make a wool utility cloth. They come in two sizes, and one is pretty large like the older one you showed
I would also recommend carrying a small hank of paracord or bankline (10-25 ft), a small roll of duct tape, and at least 2 (preferably 3) ways to start a fire. I carry a ferro rod, hurricane matches and a bic lighter.
What's the magnetic thing right in the middle with the triangular orange corner?
Hey Taylor, I remember a video you made detailing your frustrations and triumphs with a lock pick kit. I got a kit for my son for Christmas and he is noticeably frustrated, but I can't find your vid on how you managed and got through your frustrations. Could you please clue me in on where I might find it? Thanks .
Do you have a link for those big orange carabiners I see on your slings?
Gonna ask. When we getting the Carry Commission version of the Bum Bag XL?
What was that sharpener at 1:45? Looked really nice and compact
Love the gear. What brand is your wedding band?
VERY ORGANIZED
Where did you get the little red pouch for your small medical kit?
I like your cap..simple n cool..
Whats that sharpener with the strop
You need the griffin scout medic in your medic kit
About that secondary wallet thing--YES! On a trip abroad, my wife's bag was stolen. Very luckily, her version of one of our cards had a different number than MY version of that card. After canceling the stolen cards, we were able to continue the trip without much interruption. Now I will PLAN around having a back-up credit card--as your back-up wallet would provide for.
ha-ha 13:15 "There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."
IS that 3 inch or 4 inch for the ZF first aid kit?
The last item is a must 👍😁
What are the scissors shown at around 1:43?
#11 - Extra mags!
Hi, what’s your hone /strop? Thx
Varusteleka, the Finnish company that sells the Skrama knife for example, have merino wool square scarfs from their own Särmä brand. Either 110cm x 110cm(shemagh size) or 56x56. They ship internationally as well. They have a bunch of excellent merino stuff.
Good to know!
Can’t find the video’s Baseus charger on their website. Can anyone advise? Thx
Regarding that backpack: Taylor, any chance you have dogs or cats that leave hair around? If so, how's the backpack's fabric when it comes to pet hair sticking to it? As you may know, some kinds of Cordura serve as pet hair magnets. Have you any insights on this backpack's fabric in this regard? Thanks in advance for any feedback, Taylor. I'm thinking of ordering this backpack.
I always got my hitch and timber truckers hitch
The pack in this video is awesome! That internal tray system is genius! I think we have a similar approach to separation of items. I have a system I call OWN EDC. ON ME; WITH ME; NEAR ME. On me: in my pockets or attached to me. With me: a sling/pouch that is always within reach. Near me: a bag with larger items that I want to always have available. I often leave this in my vehicle because I am able to have it close by 95% of the time. (*I'm not talking about a GHB that is designed to be packed and left alone ready to go) Which category each of my EDC items falls into depends on what I am doing each day. The items don't change much, just how I carry them.
it sucks that in the netherlands you cant get any of these small med pouches or any of the writing pouches/sleeves you use.. i really would love some, but i cant find them anywhere
A chemlight or Whats it called a lightstick. Something for that purpose of signaling and you just don’t want to toss your flashlight on the ground. And some paracord you can’t go wrong with some rope, just an extra shoelace or something like that. You don’t need to go all bug out . Other than that I think you have a great setup for walking around the office and home. I have a Wera tool check plus for a toolkit and it works great for 90% a small first aid kit and some way of changing in my back pack and I really appreciate having space in the pack for what ever I’m doing that day, like going to the park I need a water bottle and a jacket. I’m going down town I might need to bring a shopping bag or two. Going to the beach toss in a swim trunks and a towel. So by reducing what I carry in my “EDC” backpack I can actually carry more. If that makes sense. I just have to be careful not to feel the need to fill it up with stuff I might need. For that I have a different bag.
what lockpick set is that at 10:31 ?
Great video to see all the gear and items but I have never carried that much stuff on me for an EDC to carry it everyday. I carry my knife a lighter, a multitool on my belt a pen, my personal protection and what I have in my wallet and that's it, I never have time for all the stuff you have there, man I could spend a whole day in my backpack if I had all that stuff on me and I wouldn't get anything done then, LOL. Awesome gear and great video. subbed
Re: hank/scarf: Varusteleka makes a 42"x42" merino wool/poly blend scarf that I now either wear or pack every single day in the winter.
I was happy to see this video popping up, thinking finally something put in a backpack for those of us whose entire hobby doesnt revolve around carrying random, overpriced titanium bits around all day... I didnt expect the entire backpack to BE edc. I mean, I put edc items in a backpack when I use a backpack to carry other stuff I need anyway. Filling the entire thing to the brim with consumerist porn kinda defeats the whoie purpose of the backpack to begin with for me at least.
Im probably going to get crap for this here but im sorry, this was a miss for me.
Totally agree. I was wondering what happens if he actually needs to carry something in his bag 😅
Same philosophy with regular luggage when you travel or go on vacation. You don’t fill it to capacity when to leave home, just what you need due a couple changes which leaves you room to buy more if needed or space to put your souvenirs. Some people just throw away old clothes on vacation also which again leaves you room in the luggage due other things if needed.
I keep a UCO camping fork/knife/spoon set in my bag that gets regular use.
WHERE can I get that knife sharpener in the tool kit ?
I’m glad I’m not the only one that uses a sling inside a backpack
Nice Watch!
Where did you get that hoodie?
Gorgeous Table-Top, bruv.
I keep a small roll of dog poo bags. Sometimes you gotta pick up something nasty or you just need a bag that you don’t really care about. Most are biodegradable now so it feels a little better than a plastic Walmart bag
That notpad would be better with a pencil vs. a ink pen. Unless you're sure the ink won't skip or run dry - a pencil is tried and true and can just be there indefinitely until you need. If you need to write something down. Just my opinion there are some nice mechanical pencils out there.
What bag is that with the orange fabric inside?
I have that same question.
Plus it was black/green on the outside and green/orange on the inside. Thank you
How does the toolkit and the bum bag compliment each other? In another video you had a bunch of tools in the bum bag. Curious to hear what you carry in the tool pouch
I've since moved those tools into their own thing since putting the Arc in my pocket. And all the tools in the pouch are listed in the description
I've always thought it was stupid but I do carry a spare wallet in my EDC for all those stupid membership cards that everyone hands out for those membership points and discounts. There are too many of them to stick in your main wallet but, the moment you leave them home is the moment you end up in the grocery/ gas station/ restaurant/ convenience store that's handing out those points and giving out those discounts. I also do the sling in backpack thing because I have a lot of stuff in my BP that I don't really need to bring with me for a grab-and-dash, so I just grab the sling leave the pack in the car.
I don't game but I do watch videos and listen to music so I bring a tablet instead of a console. I also bring headphones or earbuds so others don't have to hear what I'm listening to. I usually have a reusable grocery bag for emergency shopping. I also like bringing a compact camera, even though the one on my phone gets used most often. Just old school. And even though I don't smoke, I have an arc lighter on me always. Very practical for burning off those stray threads.
Ooooo. Titanium buckles and badges on the backpack?! What a way to make a bag more expensive for no beneficial reason that isn't just aesthetic.
Maybe it’s just me but essential for me is water as well
I really like the Tuff Possum Survival Notebook Wallet, but I have a question... does a standard Field Notes notebook fit in there? I think it doesn't right?
It doesn't, sadly. I've asked Jayberry to make it happen. We'll see lol
@@BestDamnEDC Thanks Taylor! Hope he comes to terms 😀
"Ricky, actually earlier today, had a good point."
(dead silence) 🤣
I’ve been doing quite well the last fifty or so years keeping to a minimum which includes a watch, house & car keys, phone, and wallet. Sometimes I’ll splurge and add sunglasses, ball cap, or jacket.
All those other items you and every other EDC channel carries is overkill for me and most other people. Those other items fall under “nice to have but don’t need” category because I can get along quite well without them.
If the need arises I need something else then I know how to make it happen which doesn’t require going into MacGyver mode with some odd piece of something in my pockets tied with a piece of string, duct tape, or a paper clip to escape some end of the world scenario that a lot of EDC preppers claim to be prepared for.
Yo what's that pouch at 1:36?
Could you ever do an airplane EDC maybe? I'm taking a plane trip soon and was wondering if you have any TSA safe stuff.
Link to small tool pouch at 1:39 ?
Who makes that bandana
Without a doubt, the most valuable item in that bag is the retro gaming handheld. It has so many uses - emergency communication, signaling, fire starting, water purification, first aid, repairs, self-defense, etc.
I love buying EDC stuff but I actually don't carry anything but a flashlight, pocket knife, wallet and keys. I have a lot of bags, tool kits, etc that never get any real use
All I carry for everyday use is small flashlight, basic multitool, pepper spray, pocket planner with pen, and a small first aid kit. It covers 90%+ of what I need all carried on my person in my Duluth Trading vest.. I have a backpack in the car with more supplies that I can draw on for special circumstances. When you carry 25-35ozs of self defense you don't want to be dragging around a bunch of stuff you rarely use.
