Wow I can't believe you don't think that's useful. Obviously that's where the real men who carry that kept their condoms.
looks like a compartment for one crack.

Time for an onlyfans
Also an interesting challenge video would be an edc set up only on a key ring or on a key set up.
if you are in discord of him, tag me (head standing penguin ore something like that) I used to have most of my stuff on my keychain...
edcforums.com has a lengthy thread of people showing their keychain setups.
Im sure everyone knows this but a weighted key chain is bad for the cars ignition but if you had a push to start no problem
@@josephlinares96 This is true.
I have the Chevy Cobalt car where people were dying from heavy keyring.
Women in particular have heavy keyring.
There was the largest recall ever over the keyring thing.
This video is not going to be gimmicky stuff you can hide your weed in, proceeds to show me a bunch of stuff I could hide my weed in lol
my dude that is not a bit holder (the Dewault) that is a driver for 1/4" hex screws. You can for purposes of getting more perfect grip on various screw head types actually put screw in then hammer other end while screw tip is on hard object and that magnet will slide down, if u look the end of that is a 1/2 inch, the depth for screw is only 1/8th and so is magnet. any who, thats not a bit holder just FYI. great videos, always enjoy the things you find to show us
Came here to say this. Thanks man :)
Looked at the comments just to find this message.
@@dr.marvin4816 me too
In my opinion the best edc i have found is a bic lighter (or zippo if your fancy and remember to fill it). A quality pocket knife. A mini blade screw driver and a quality flashlight. I think those four items can do 99% of the daily tasks I need. But anyway good video showing options
Same here. (Although I keep the mini-Bic/mini-Clipper in the bag instead of the pockets due to not-quite-daily use.)
Quality pocket knife, flashlight, some bluetooth earbuds, and a pen (Italic-nibbed fountain pen because I'm a stationary nerd). That's all I will keep in my pockets.
Anything else goes in the messenger bag, or stays home.
@@HipposHateWater yes. A pen helps with navigation. 5 min at 10 degrees. 15 min at 180 degrees, etc. Leaving notes for people to find you, etc. Never thought about it before.
Please suggest best tiny pocket knife
I feel like all of the “tiny compartment” items are marketed to the survival geniuses that can cram a whole fire-starting/fishing set into an Altoid’s box. I’m no McGuyver, so I’d die pretty fast if my life depended on me assembling and using one of those kits. They’re also useful for lockpicking kits.
The keychain one's are cocaine/ecstasy containers usually
I have an instinctual gag reflex anytime I see those. Especially the ones you'd see with the kit included in a hollow "survival knife" handle, right where the the tang should be. Granted, stuffing the little bits and bobs into a separate pill box and using a normal knife with an actual tang as a separate device would solve all of my misgivings, but it's still a several decade long conditioned response lol
I keep a Ti tiny container on my keychain with a folded up $20 in it for emergency money.
yeah those container ones are definitely for weed lol
Those guys who think some tiny ass kit is going to keep them going are gonna be surprised if they ever end up needing a real kit.
Y'know fancy stuff aside, channels like this are part of the reason I started carrying extra tools (a knife, screwdrivers and a multitool.)
So far its stopped me from likely getting mugged, made me look good in front of my college instructors, and helped me fix a thousand small issues)
If you dont carry anything, I'd reccomend keeping a small knife alongside your wallet, it doesn't seem like it'd be useful often, but when you have it on you 24/7 "often" only has to happen once or twice for it to start paying off
I’ve had a wazoo whetstone necklace for years. I’ve worn it so much I wore out the leather and had to replace it with paracord. Great product IMO. I totally agree about having a Ferro rod with you when you’re outdoors
It is a good tool. However, it is easy to get choked with the leather necklace. I would replace it with a breakaway paracord connector.
@@barmstrong25 I don’t think choking on a necklace is quite the hazard some people believe. If you’re worried about it by all means go for it but I’ve never heard of something like that actually happening.
@@evanf1443 To me it is common sense even for basic self defense. If you're wearing something that can get huge up on or used as a weapon against you. It is just my opinion I've been doing martial arts for over 30 years. This is why I would not use a paracord neck knife laynard without quick release connectors. This is why some knife companies use chains for knife laynard because they can break before being strangled. Do what you want it is a free country for now.
@@barmstrong25 I think we can agree to disagree. Even in self defense that sort of thing is unlikely since it often goes underneath my shirt anyway and if I’m in a self defense situation I’m going to cheat, a lot. I’ve spent over a decade practicing martial arts myself and in my experience someone is just as likely to try to choke you using your shirt or jacket as anything else, so wearing a necklace isn’t going to cause me any undue concern.
@@evanf1443 You're probably correct. But why give someone a tool to use against you. This is especially true against someone with no training. They are very unpredictable and that is what makes them dangerous.
The DeWalt 'Bit Extender' is not a bit extender. That's a 1/4" nut driver, for hex head screws, not 1/4" bits. A bit extender will interface with most of the changeable bit, and hold it well.
You said it so I didn't half to!
👍
I always appreciate these videos because we all know there’s some cool quality stuff in the vast sea of EDC gear but actually buying a lot of it is such a gamble. Also I think the writings on the wall, your next video needs to be the best Allergy EDC lol.
As a university student, the most underrated EDC item you can own is a mini-stapler.
A nano paperpro has been in my backpack for almost a decade
for what tho? making a lil staple chain?
@@anthonydentice8180 It has normal size staples, just not as much capacity or leverage making the tool smaller.
@@sammywhammy2 yeh but for what normal stapling of paper or some other type use is what im getting at
@@anthonydentice8180 Just normal stapling paper
The flask come with a compass and flashlight so you can find your way home after you get smashed lol
Been waiting on this "unusual edc" since the last one. Thanks for trying the weird stuff so i can know before i buy or not
That was a wicked smoke ring
I learned young that the more features something like these items has, the worse it usually handles the intended tasks.
My dad hit me hard with that one. Just because it can do it does not mean it can do it well or that it makes the task easier. The right tool for the right job if you have the option to do so. The more bells and whistles, the more crap that can go wrong, get in the way, and be broken or lost. I'm not going to share how many Leatherman bit kits I have replaced or have a few bits in one left and lost enough to replace. I have a collection of tools with missing pieces and bit kits with only a few bits.
@@Lizzard2060 nice! Mine came from my dad as well.. he was/is into electronics and hated combo units. IE, TV/VCR type things. I’ve found that it Carries over to most things though.
@@jseden Uncle taught me the electronics and same as yours went off on the tangents of "Why would you ever put two items (TV/VCR, DVD/VCR, etc.) coming off one power source, OMG, this will kill the power source so fast?!?!". It was true and many of those items did not last the way a single use one did.
@@Lizzard2060 it’s true.. and then you’re left with a half functioning thing that’ll probably cost more to fix than than just replacing the faulty component.
I dissected a ton of electronics with him throughout the 90s and those combo things were just never built quite as well as a (when broken down by cost per function) stand-alone component
10 plus years looking at EDC gear and I’ve never run across your channel till now. Bummer. Good job. Love your content and effort you put into it. Thx man
Hey! Now you can enjoy all his older vids lol
Love the channel and your hard work in the gym is paying off Taylor. Keep up the good work.
I wish company's that sell things like the fire zip pull/tinder zip would include a small section of material to test so you don't have to waste product just to learn the " Manual of arms" 😅🤷♂️
that would be great in a world where the customer is king but bad in a world where vulture capitalism is king...
@@BlackDragonWitheHawk ya the "SUPER DRAGON BALL" type of world would be GREAT 😅
but unfortunately our reality is more of the "BLACK STAR 🐲BALLS" type of existence.... A wish is possible with the black🌟 🐲balls but there's always a catch.. i.e. Glad to include extra for a cost even though selling cordage has to be damn near pure profit from the jump after start up costs lmao😅
@@BlackDragonWitheHawk but hey a man can wish lol *also if that slightly elongated over zealous🐲 🌟 ⚽ reference doesn't land that be my bad 😂
Damn, all the stuff I didn’t realize I needed!
Congratulations on the new arrival man, hope all is well
The Mecarmy kit actually looks pretty cool and practical!
County Comm....2 pack for under a buck!! Now give us 9 bucks to ship it to you! lol
Very cool items, thank you! May I get the details on the screw bit you used on the carabiner?
*something else you might consider would be many of the items found at grim workshop...especially the tiny edc that makes cordage out of a discarded plastic bottle...works surprisingly well and the cordage provided is strong enough for most emergency camping/survival improvised uses...got mine as a kickstarter campaign but the website has many other useful items including a wallet axe...seriously*
i haven’t seen one of your videos in almost a year due to time and busy schedules
man you look great! and i’m sure you feel great and healthy
I IMMEDIATELY bought the whetstone necklace. Frickin legendary.
My impression of this sort of "stylish" EDC stuff is that it's very, very expensive for what it is. Sort of hard to understand the appeal.
Exactly my thoughts! Heres one stash container and two separate stash containers and a led light, all these go for a hundred bucks...
@carl I was super into that kit because I want to try the whole "Altoid kit" thing but the price tag made me spit out my water. So ridiculous. Most of the components were just glorified pill containers that I could get at the dollar general
I laughed out loud when he said how much the tape measure was.
Great videos Man. You definitely have a voice that I don't mind listening, and the cool stuff is endless
The Micro Blade TI is what I use when carving my gang affiliations into the back of CTA bus seats on my way to buy smack.
I use mine to scratch yours out
Hey buddy, I haven’t watched your vids in over a year and WOW! You slimmed up dude! Good for you! Keep it up brother, I know you feel much better!
Nice Lorier, good choice and the sub dials look perfectly stunning
I wonder if the Pill TI @10:00 would be a good TSA alternative to travel and fly with since pockets knives are a no no.
Great video! Nice job on segmenting the time stamp.
Looking healthier good for you man! 👏
Looking cut AF bro. You’re motivating me! Great video as always!
You look happy and healthy, Taylor. Keep up the good work. 🤙🏻
I have had the Wazoo whetstone necklace for a couple of years now. It's a great stone and puts a great edge on a knife.
I'm curious on the flinch striker(?) on 21:21 but you didn't include the link on your description. Where is it from? I tried googling without result
Interesting stuff. Know that strong magnets and mechanical watches don't get along very well.
The VSSL cracks me up. They give you everything you need to get drunk, lost and find your way back.
Great and fun vid! Would love to see more.
I'm just getting started in bushcraft and I'm now ordering the whetstone necklace, thanks
That small "storage compartment" in the titanium carabiner is for tabs of acid
IMPORTANT EDIT: Do not throw that small battery into the stash container... It can hard short and pop.
that's the only thing i could think of that would be good for that haha
just wrap the backup in electrical tape
Good video. I have been wearing a ferro necklace for years. I used tinder paracord for the necklace, set up just like yours showed. I wear it daily.
Been watching you since mod days. I even was on your subscription service. So cool to see you're still killing it :)
The film goat himself is in the comments section, this why I love CZcams goats of my two fav hobbies goats in one place.
Thanks bro means a lot to me
@@omarkh34 ii also have a goat (as a love partner)
I got a few of those pen light/lighters and just threw them in a drawer somewhere because the instructions weren’t in English and I didn’t even know it was called to search online for demo. I’ll have to find them and try them out now thanks for sharing.
I like these. Plus I like your honest review of whether it is gimmicky or not. Take a look at the Kershaw Kapsul, manual OTF.
Also wonder if the double sided bit @6:00 would work in the gear vault @20:00 and help save room in there.
I have the bit vault. I bought it because of your original video and I just toss it on my belt still today. I just carry edc medicine in it, Tylenol, allergy meds, etc. definitely has come in handy fairly often.
The rip spool has enough room around the sail needle for some #8 fishing hooks And small weights or strips of lead for weights.. makes a complete fishin kit as well.
where can I get the mech army flint striker you mentioned during the lever gear bitvault?
I have the whetstone pendant and can vouch for it. Really nice quality and will touch up an edge nicely in the field
😳
What are you thoughts on lever gear card tool and card tools overall?
I carried a lever gear card tool for a year and a half traveling. It came in handy a bunch of times especially after my leatherman was taken (it was in my check in luggage).
You look fitter here, great! New Fan here from the Philippines man... really love your EDC ideas. Keep it up and God bless.
That CC mini driver was in my pocket every day for years when I worked at a car dealership. Perfect for always having something to take plates on and off with.
Mine is beat to crap and have been waiting for them to come back in stock.
Cool gear, Taylor…I especially like that flask! What watch are you wearing in this video?
Looking good dude!
Thanks, great video
Cool vid, nice coverage.
Did he actually cut something with his knife ???? Madness !!!i 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@thatrealba ah ah use your blades and wear your sneakers ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
@@thatrealba
Why would anybody who's EDC kit includes a good knife - "Every Day Carry" it and then not use it because they might have to sharpen it? WTF? Then carry a second knife...which is the one you actually use?? 😆😆😆
Because steel snobs like myself pay 150+ for the best! Can I borrow your knife.. what did you say haha! You can use my SAK
for the carabiner, you can put a password in the "secret" compartment so you can remember the code for a lock or some stuff like that.
Thanks for the info.
I've got the GPCA Carabiner and i love it. My only wish is that i purchased the titanium version instead as the steel is quite heavy to carry
I love the rip spool, but as for the tinderZip, I would rather get some Titan Survivor Cord and a bag of those end clamps to make my own zipper pulls with even more options inside. Just my opinion.
I think that's a really cool idea! Though I can't find what you're referring to when you say "bag of those end clamps". Can you share a better phrase that will yield appropriate Amazon or Google results?
I have that pill opener and I love it. It comes in handier than I expected. It keeps gunk off your keys from opening tape. I hung it on my dog for a while when I couldn’t find a ring for his rabies tag. I’d be like “come, I need to open a box! Come here boy!”
This channel brings out the nerdy kid in me... I love it!
Looking slim. Keep it up. I need to get on it myself. 💪😎
Love that room brother! And you're okay too.
I actually have both of the necklaces. I love them both. Haven't used them yet. But it's always good to have on "just in case".
I like the idea of such a small ferro rod. My first thought was for that size you could attach it to a lanyard hole on a knife or sheath. Loop it though like a zipper pull so you can take it off easily and strike it with your knife spine.
I’ve had a Swiss Qlip on my Tinker (funnily enough) for about a year now and love it. Don’t get my wrong it’s bulky and ugly but works and until I get a pocket slip this is perfect.
22:20 "I lost all mine..." If that ain't me! 😂😂
I believe the mech army flashlight is also rechargeable if you twist the light more towards off it opens to reveal a micro usb plug in port
My man is that a Herman Slim? Very nice sir, I actually have mine in my pocket today.
I could see using the micro blade pill as a makeshift arrowhead in a pinch.
Hey Taylor,I just stumbled across your channel,I’m new to EDC so I’ve subscribed an deffo be watching all your videos..I was just wandering how I can get one of those stickers!?
Taylor do you have any connections for one of those Precision Drivers you keep using in your videos? I have been looking for months and never see them in stock or available anywhere? Have a secret spots I should check? Thanks in advance.
can u still get the tweezer from the swiss army knife wit hthat pocket klip on?
My EDC pocket knife is a Kershaw 1920 Select Fire. It has a very nice and beefy blade with no serrations. It holds a great edge and sharpens fairly readily. But it fits this video because it has a swing out arm with a 1/4" socket driver. 4 bits are in spring secured, swing out bit holders. It comes with two flat and two Phillips bits, but it'll work with any single ended bits. There's a very short ruler on the swing arm, and the recess it closes into is a bottle opener. Costs about $35, and has a nice strong pocket clip.
I'm trying to find a good field knife sharpener. I've tried several. So far, the Work Sharp Field Sharpener is good for my needs. It has two diamond plates, coarse 220 and fine 600. There's a large ceramic rod that rotates to show a coarser and finer surface for honing. There's a very small ceramic rod for sharpening serrations. But the best part is the narrow but serviceable leather strop pre-saturated with green stropping compound. The whole thing is lightweight and compact, and works great on just about anything.
I have and carry that Titanium tape measure on a shot bead chain around my neck asking with a tiny 550 lumen RovyVon flashlight with a glow in the dark blue case. One of the light modes is a UV blacklight that makes a good night light that doesn't destroy your night vision.
I always have a small Fresnel lens in my wallet for emergency fire starting. If I have my bag, though, I have several fire starting tools and kinds of tinder.
I have an odd EDC tools, a Covert Companion lockpick set. I'm a sport lockpicker, so it's fun. But if I must get through a lock, I have the tools.
Instead of the bit vault, I have the Budi stick. Holds 6 microSD cards, two phone SIM cards, a short data and charge cable, with a full set of adapters, a microSD reader/writer, and a SIM tray tool. The other end is a small phone stand. It's a little longer than that bit vault, but it has more features.
That smoke ring though!
I love your videos but for us that can't afford the stuff you buy..its all a dream. I know you make money of CZcams and get sponsors which is amazing. But normal people can not afford this stuff to an extent. I do love the videos of the amazing gear and how intricate you go through each thing...keep up the good work.
Where did you get the tiny flint starter?
That smoke ring warranted a like
Lookin good, great job on the weight loss!
You had something I think you called a finger protector in a recent edc episode. Can you clarify, and where can I get one? Looks like it is made of rubber or plastic. Rectangular and fits over your fingers.
I think having a few ways to light a fire in the woods is always important. Personally I'd carry at least three, some sort of striker, a Sailors Lighter which is just a rope with some flint, and probably another type of striker or matches.
Anyways I'm always looking for weird EDC gear because I don't use a flashlight for anything, I don't carry a watch never got used to one. I already have a wallet and knife, and pens are locked in for my kit.
It's hard to tell if something will fit your lifestyle how active you are or where you work can change what you look for. So you never know what'll make your life a little easier until you see it
Yoooo my man is lookin fit!!!
I can't find that CountyCmm EDC key anywhere, the link doesn't work unfortunately
i'm looking for a holder for 4mm bits, like i got in my ifixit kit, te kit has lots of empty space and it's bulky in my purse to carry every day, but use it all the time, i want to store all the bits in a little wallet or holder but they're all for 1/4 inch bits
What's the watch you are wearing? Looks really cool
At first I thought it was a Hamilton intramatic panda chrono, but the lugs are different. Then I thought it was a Seagull 1963 sugess, but no again.
the look of pure joy and woonderment when that fire starter popped a smoke ring :) its the simple things in life eh
As someone new to prepping the one i like is the whet stone necklace
I bought the Viking whet stone and the ferro rod and striker separate and then put them on the whet stone necklace.
Super interesting video!!!
21:22 what does he call the fire starter? mecarmy flint striker? what is the name of that exact one he shows
Hello I was curious what you use to edit videos
Stuff like the tape measure isn't necessarily key-ring material, but key rings don't have to be the only thing you might attach small tools to. Rather than having a box or pouch for small tools that you keep in a backpack, it strikes me that having a ring for your small tools, perhaps with short cable extensions on some of them, would be a good way to make sure you can't easily lose individual tools just because you've opened their container. You could even attach the ring to your belt (loop) or a backpack strap and use the jangling to forewarn bears and such when out on a trail.
That lever gear look great if you are a knife guy soy you can carry your bits and other little tools for any emergency great recommendation 👍
I got it in Gear Pack box and will be getting the whetstone soon.
Those two necklaces are great.
Will stanley blades fit in the bit vault
