Instant subscribe for 5 reasons:
1. Getting into the products in less than 1 minute
2. Incredible close up shots with the cool little "follow" graphic (forget the name of this technique) at 1:03-feels very pro, fluid, unobtrusive, yet cool (and informative).
3. No background music!
4. Perfect framing on your main talking head shot
5. Beautiful lighting
Such a high quality video that I'm saving it to my "video advice" folder for some inspiration if I start to make videos of my own. Thank you so much for the (free) lesson!
TY 🙏
Easily one of my favorite youtube channels right now. I feel like I'm having a nice relaxing conversation with you everytime I watch one of your videos. Thanks for all the great content!
Wow, thank you! 🙏
As a fellow dad, would love to see a video from you with exactly what you keep in your FannyPack/BumBag for outings with the kids.
Great idea!
Thrilled you included Kaweco. Im a huge fan of it
Best gift recommendations EVER!! Jackpot for the family Thanks so much!!!
ps I am a fan and will be following!
First time seeing your channel/videos - Incredibly watchable and some nice recommendations. Glad to see orbitkey dominating your key-carry.
I’m such a huge fan of the brand. Great quality at an affordable price. Thanks for watching and for the general positivity. 👍🏻
Love the content. Great lighting, great video. I had a few knives I loved this year but the Palmer is always with me. I use it on boxes and cutting matting to mount some prints.
Thanks for watching! And glad you’re enjoying the Palmer
Brilliant stuff, thank you Marcus, love this
Thanks pal 😊
Love how you get right into it without any music or BS. Great reviews
There is no way that you don’t have 200000 subscribers
Love your presentation style. Quite new to the EDC movement but looks cool.
What a nice thing to say. Thanks Pradeep. Hope you enjoy the EDC journey. 👋🏻
Went back to the dual Watches, nice 😎 happy to see all uploads. Thanks for the entertainment!
Ha. You’ve a good eye. It really depends how I’m feeling that week to be honest with you. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
Awesome video, thanks for the ideas!!
Thanks for watching!
Just stumbled across your acount today and loving your content. Awesome job
Made me happy to see this video pop up tonight. I appreciate your voice and perspective.
Thanks buddy. What a nice thing to say. 👍🏻😊👍🏻
If you don’t mind me asking. Where did you get that yellow bracelet?
Ha. My daughter gave it to me. She got them on Amazon. amzn.to/3SSD5bX
LOL. Thanks for sharing. I, myself, am a 42 year old dad of 2, so I feel like your videos were made for me, even though I can’t afford the things, it is fun to see what is possible. Peace.
First video of yours I've seen and I've subscribed. Great video and content. Looking forward to watching more
Welcome aboard!
First video I have ever watched. Really enjoyed. New sub.
Sweet! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.
I grabbed an orbitkey mystery box recently in a sale, and it didn't disappoint. I got 2 key organisers, one of which was the darth vader version, a key ring, notebook, ID tag. All their products are super useful especially when trying to slim down your EDC items.
You lucked out!!!
Brilliant to throw in the James Brand knife. It yeilded tons of algorithm fodder 😅.
Thanks for the other recommendations.
I really didn’t expect so much heat for the James Brand. I had no idea it was controversial. 😂. Thanks for the support. Appreciate every view. 👍🏻
Great Video(s). Really inspiring
Thanks so much.
Helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! First comment too!!!
Great video and nice presentation! I like when people showcase things they use instead of random new things. It makes it authentic
Thank you. Enjoyed making this video because it’s all my favorite gear at that price point. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic. Please keep this content going.
New to the channel...love it. Buying that Derringer wallet!
Love this. I will say, a knife I just picked up on Amazon for cheap is the Smith and Weston Benji. It comes with a money clip/clip that's been really nice to carry and incredibly low profile. Plus, it was only $20 when I picked it up. Highly recommend for another cheap knife video.
That’s a good shout. I’ve never held one. Will add it to the never ending list. ☺️
The kaweco is my daily pen, actually I just pulled it out of my pocket together with my other gear since I just came home.
Love it, the way it looks and especially how it writes. That said it has already leaked on me several times and also one time it just didn’t wanna write when I wanted to write something down. So it’s not 100% reliable, especially compared to my Lamy Al Star that never had any problems. Still I really love my kaweco due to its lightness, how pocketable it is and the writing feel and already thought about upgrading to the metal version
I just got it so haven’t had any problem with it yet. For me it writes like a more expensive fountain pen and it’s so cheap I’m not always worrying about it. Glad you like yours so much. 👍🏻
Love it!
Thanks for the great video. Regards from what i belive if you country of origin, the beautiful emerald island - we love it here.
Yep. That’s home alright. And headed back there soon for a bit. Can’t wait. 🇮🇪
Great video!
Thanks for watching.
Nice video, have a Victorinox Rambler on the car keys with the last 15 years, if I lost it I'd replace it that very day. Love that Oclip light, think that might be a self gift shortly!
Very nice! Rambler seems to be the default for folks now that the Manager is not sold any more
Consider the Rocketbook reusable notebook. I’ve found I don’t need waterproof, etc. maybe add a few stickies if you need to leave a note.
I’ll have a look but I’m pretty obsessed with Tomoe River paper. Can’t be beat for my buck. 😂
Funny thing when you watch multiple EDC "review" channels you will notice that they review all the same stuff so then you can be sure that they get those from companies and they make just ads and not reviews :-D
I would love some premium fidget recommendations for my FIL if you come across any nice fidgets like the pen stand you mentioned!
Twenty seconds into the intro and I am subbed. :)
Haha, I can see I am not alone, lol
Zs
🙏
I love my white yeti rambler with hotshot lid
Than you for aluminium ! 🙂
Just got a Cotopaxi 2L sling for dadding as well. That could be a great video!
Good choice! Will check one out.
Great video. Most of those are already incorporated into my EDC 😅
Fantastic. What’s your everyday?
@MarcusCreates
black orbitkey key organiser
Olight arkfeld pro in black
Field notebook
Fischer space pen black
Bellroy slim wallet
@@bradley_craig3004 boom. Each one a classic in its own right. Have a video on Bellroy Sling in black coming out this Friday. Fantastic piece of kit.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Can I ask which brand of hoodie you are wearing?
Hey David. It’s super basic. I don’t like branded clothes. Here’s my exact hoody. It’s $16 from Fruit of the Loom. amzn.to/3sT5dB7
Great Video, thank you very much!
You are welcome! 🙏
It seems the link is wrong.@@MarcusCreates
Thank you. I’ve updated the link now.
That yeti would look awesome with a Radiation symbol on it.
I love EDC, but just can't get my head around carrying a flashlight.
I get it. But force yourself for a week and see if that changes.
What size yeti bottle is it that you have I assume that it's the 12oz as I can only see that in yellow in the UK
the orbit key is cool, magnet is secure but the actual carabiner is very cheap. the springs in the carabiner will surely give out over time. wish they would upgrade the carabiner for the price
I’ve enjoyed using mine. Haven’t had any problems yet and coming up on a year now. Will let you know if I have an issue.
Grabbed the o-line for a friend I know they’ll like it
Sweet. It’s pretty great.
I always carry Bausch + Lomb 4x pocket magnifier, $15 US.
Love your content. Do you have any recommendations for flashlights with a pulse feature that can be used for self defence?
I’ve only got one but it’s pretty cool. It’s by nitecore. www.nitecorestore.com/Nitecore-EDC27-EDC-Flashlight-p/fl-nite-edc27.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiApaarBhB7EiwAYiMwqu0iRcJZ7Z9kq-v8iTuyRiDbQBAr3_RpN-oOvRmYBlDJEPELEZb9-hoCB7QQAvD_BwE
@@MarcusCreates thank you!
Thank you
You're welcome
Gift ideas for myself:)
Hahaha. Love it.
I noticed you wear two watches, I’ve thought about doing it for the longest but I’m a bit of a introvert so I don’t feel comfortable having to explain to a random person why I’d do it. But it looks so cool on you, my question is, did it take some getting used to? Bc for me I stopped using “normal” watches bc I’ve just got so used to wearing my Apple Watch on my left wrist.
Awesome video and awesome content! Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Hey buddy. It really depends what stage of life you’re at. In my 20’s I would have been exactly the same way and really felt self conscious doing something people would judge me for. I’m 42 now and thankfully have given up caring. People comment on it all the time. Some people judge. I really don’t care. Life is short. Sometimes hard. Do what makes you happy. 😊
Great video! Out of curiosity what's the hoodie you're wearing? Looks very premium.
It feels premium too but it’s only $16 😂. I lost some weight this year so had to buy some new swagger. Looks like it on sale Black Friday for $10!!! amzn.to/3SY9Q7F
Good day! Just stumble on your video. Great video and very interesting. I hope that the items you share are products that we can buy in Amazon in the UK. I live in Ireland.
I didn’t even think it was easy to shop on Amazon UK in Ireland since Brexit. My folks have had terrible trouble with it. However, there is something I can do to make the links globally universal. When I get a spare hour or two I’ll figure it out. 👍🏻
Love your content Marcus! Silly question - but why do you wear 2 watches? Please resolve my curiosity 😊
Because I’m in love with my analog watch but want the benefit of a smart watch day to day. 😂
Good stuff Marcus, especially the rambler SAK. Recently been using my bum bag sling style - ace.
Quirky JB knife - I get the quality but the style/names/price are a big turn off for me. Thanks for sharing.
The James Brand isn’t for everyone for sure. But think it’s a playful knife and an easy gift. I like it a lot. Quality is top notch but totally get you can get a lot of knife elsewhere for the money.
Thanks for your reply, great video.
Recently came across your channel. Love the videos and helped me out with some Christmas gifts, thanks! I tried everywhere on the internet to find the A7 Tomoe River Notebooks but none seem to deliver to Ireland. Would you happen to know of a site that I may have missed?
First of all thanks for watching the channel and appreciate your positive feedback. I’ve only ever ordered the journals in the US and never had them shipped to Ireland. You can get them on Amazon sometimes in the US but they are notoriously hard to find.
@@MarcusCreates No worries, I might try AddressPal by AnPost as a workaround. Your channel has brought me down the ESC rabbit hole and I’m here for it 😅 Thanks again!
A watch on both wrists is wild.
... This video is Quality!
Thanks !
What kind of hoodie is that?
12:04 curious about the magnetic part of this wallet, wouldn’t it affect any cards you carry? Everything is tap or chip nowadays so it isn’t the end of the world, just curious
I understand but I haven’t had any issues with it and I bought one for dad last Christmas. He’s carried it all year without problem.
I love pocket knives, but my Victorinox Swiss army for most days. Take it out at a kids birthday to cut some streamers or tape or a box and all anyone says is some sort of kind words about having had one or wanted one. Least intimidating pocket knives.
I've always liked a friendly knife😅
Haha. But you know what I mean right? There are places where you need your pocket knife to be less intimidating for sure. 👍🏻
What does 'EDC' stand for? What does it mean?
14:50 ...I came here, for the EDC Notebooks....lol
😂
Lol to you, bud! EDC=Every Day Carry, which can mean something different for each person. A teacher may carry an assortment of stationery items to mark/grade papers (back before computers became the norm in schools), and granny's EDC would always include crayons, paper, gum & candy when taking grandkids to church. Who doesn't have EDC? Even a little tot in preschool carries EDC,which may include diapers! I don't really like to disrespect anybody's EDC, bcz it means something different to everybody. To each his/her own. Not everyone needs overpriced Hi-Tech gizmos, knives, flashlights, etc. If you do, Jon Gadget has a lot of that. But even he appreciates stationery items.
@@tophorn7348 🙏
@@MarcusCreates tks! I need all the prayers I can get! GOD bless your pea-pickin heart!❤ (Maybe I mistook your 🙏for something you didn't mean. Maybe it was just a simple nod of agreement to my post. Sorry.)
Be careful with pairing fountain pens. They are like potato chips….you can’t have just one! Now to play devils advocate, if you wanted to upgrade that Kaweco, check out the brass sport version or Kara’s kustom pens (I’ve got a titanium fountain pen from them).
Nice submariner!
It is. Thanks 🙏
I bet you know what time it is
I’d like to see an edc notebook over $100 😂
What bracelet is on your ultra arm? I like it.
Do you mean the band on my bicep? I’m wearing a Whoop fitness tracker. More on it in my most recent video.
No, the silver clasp on your Apple Watch
@@brandon1076 Ah. It’s not a silver clasp. I’m wearing a mene bracelet next to it
@@MarcusCreates thanks!
What's with the 2 watches?
I have a watch which holds a lot of sentimental value to me but I want the data tracking and phone connectedness of a smart watch. So sometimes I wear them both. Not getting any cool points I know. 😂
@@MarcusCreates Oh ok. That's a good enough reason as any. Thanks for sharing. I was just curious.
Do you wear 2 watches on a regular basis??
I go through phases
I like your glasses what are they please
Ditto, I’m curious too
1:40 looks nice 4 my daughter :D
It’s a quirky fun little knife that’s really well made. But I get it’s not for everyone either. 😊
Just to note, I owned an Orbit Key w/ clip but after 8 months of daily use, the carabiner spring wore out and the leather/plastic attachment that connects to the ring and magnet tore. Not a very durable product and not worth the price. Warranty was one year so I returned it.
I’m glad you were able to return it within the warranty timeframe. I haven’t had any problems with mine fortunately. Thanks for sharing.
Cool
Thanks 🙏
Changed it as soon as I saw James brand for the knife
Ha. So polarizing. Thanks for watching all the same. Will try harder 😂
@@MarcusCreates k
Like for double writing Apple Watch and classic watch
Happy st patty's day
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Ok, but why are you wearing two watches?! 🥴
😂😂😂
To tell what time it is
because we have two wrists
One is a nice watch, the other is to track fitness
If you wear a watch you are a slave to time,if you wear 2 you won't know which is right.Castro
the baton seams like such a gimmick, why not just buy a bigger flash light itll perform better and be nicer to hold while using and still weigh the same amount.
I think it’s pocket-ability. Some people don’t want the burden of carrying a bigger flashlight in their pocket, but are willing to carry the charger in their backpack. Not for everyone for sure, but I like it. 👍🏻
R U Irish. I like your accent. I lived in Galway for 10 years.
Yes I am! Boom. I went to university in Galway. Lived there 2000 - 2004. Great city. 👍🏻🇮🇪
Why do you wear 2 watches?
It’s complicated. I love my Rolex but value the data and smart functions of a smart watch.
2 wrists watches is kind of a weird look my guy.
It’s sure is. Not going to win any fashion awards 😂
Why every edc guide got a knife? Seriously hat are you people hacking at all day?
Hahaha. Literally opening Amazon boxes and cutting string. At least that’s my use case. 😂
Your Esker code isn't working, nor is your Esker link so I just wasted a wad of time there 😂
Sorry Jon
@@MarcusCreates Will it be up and running again soon? Don't mind either way but was looking to get a new wallet and this one would be my first choice.
Fanny?
No one in inner city Europe carries any of this-
Mainly because you don’t need it
Great video, but please stop waving the item you're showing around lol. I wanna see it.
60$ for a box opener with a non-recessed opener?
As a total knife snob with lots of high end knives, James Brand is an absolute embarrassment. I would recommend a spyderco para 3 LW as a replacement
Ha. It’s always a tricky one recommending a knife. The Para 3 is a $200 knife so doesn’t make the cut ( trying to recommend sub $100) but there are plenty of Spydercos that do. What would you recommend in the sub $100 range?
What incentive did james brand you to recommend those trash knives?
I apologize to come off brash, but seriously though.
I bought these myself I’m afraid. And I have no affiliation with James Brand. I liked the knives so I stuck them on the channel. ☺️
Nowadays a list o complete unuseful objects to carry on
Aluminum anodized box cutter for 60$ no thank you
It’s beautiful though. And feels great in the hand. But I totally get it too. It’s a lot for a box cutter 😂
You seem like a genuinely nice individual who has a passion for edc gadgets and gear. Take it or leave it, but here is some of the best advice I can give you to grow your channel. Drop James brand knives, they are poor quality, constructed of low grade materials and are the most overpriced knives on the market. They have made their name selling gas station quality knives to people who simply don’t know any better at absolutely ludicrous prices. Best of luck to you and the channel, keep up the good work. Cheers.
Thanks Jason. I really appreciate the honest and direct feedback here. On the channel it’s super important that I recommend things I like and sometimes have criticisms of things others like. But I have had more comments than usual on the James Brand. Seems like the community really doesn’t like them. Which surprises me. I agree there are better blade steels to be had on other knives for less than $100 but it’s a solid pick for the money in my opinion. However, will dig in deeper into the company and do some research on why people really don’t like the brand. Thanks again. Feedback makes me better. ☺️💪🏼
😅😊ooooo
You can’t say Fanny 🇮🇪
Arkfeld = E-waste
Everyday Dading 😅
It’s a full time gig
2 watches? why ....its gaudy
Yeah. I get it. Not getting any fashion points for it for sure. Do what makes you happy. 😊
thats what children say and do ....Huh its looks weird@@MarcusCreates

60 bucks for utility knife? Just blade nothing else? Ridiculous
Pretty ridiculous alright. Certainly not for everyone. Do you have a go to you recommend more? Maybe I’ll do a better value video in the new year.
You've been stealing my EDC ideas!! Rigjt down tot he same. Colour flask!
