Affiliate Links:

Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description.  Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.

If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.

Oh my goodness. This is my new favourite channel on YouTube. I’m an ex soldier and value my EDC religiously. Your knowledge and product quality assessment is fantastic. Absolutely brilliant Jon. Long May you reign

I bought my wife a Rovyvon A3 for valentines day which she loves...then I saw your vid on the A8 and got one...amazing little torch. I was so impressed that I got my eldest son one for his car keys after he passed his test...he loves it. I've now bought an A7 (glow in the dark) for my youngest son for Christmas and 2 A3's for my nephews.

10:47 that is such a good point, I like my chairs to be good for throwing games with the kids as well as sitting on 😅

[erikzockt]

Having an EDC that contains a folding chair is true dedication ;-) No seriously, a very good list and an enjoyable video. Thank you!

[paulstevens]

Got the Rovyvon A8 a month ago by your suggestion (love it of course!) and bought the Bellroy Lite sling as a gift, excellent suggestions!

[saab_]

You sir introduced me to the Rovyvon A8 and I thank you for that ! Thumbs up!

[AnnieGill]

I got your flash light for myself, I love it Jon! Thanks for your quick 10, loved it!

[Verodasessanta]

Thanks, Jon, for this inspiring review summary, that "unfortunately" made me expand my wish list again ;-) Enjoy your Christmas season, I am already looking forward to your 2023's receommendations. Take care!

Although quality is key with these products, it would be great to see budget friendly items that most people can afford.

[heathermencer]

Love my Rovyvon! I purchased one after a previous review you gave. I have an elderly cat and the UV light has been so handy.

[Gondyr_Nocheinsson]

I purchased the RovyVon A8 and the Nitecore Powerbank (along with some other items not mentioned here) based on your reviews and each of these put a smile on my face everytime I use them. Thank you for your awesome reviews. Best EDC Channel hands down. Worst for my wallet, though.

[chrisfreer]

Appreciate you Jon - watch all of your vids - you are essential viewing for us gadget geeks 🙏🙏

[papik]

Thanks Jon 😊. After seeing your video on the Rovynon I recently purchased it. Love it! So much so that I bought two others as Christmas presents for family. Anyhow thanks again and wish you merry Christmas.

[celineellis]

Great list!! My rovyvon A8 is with me everyday attached to my tacvest at work and I use it regularly. The battery life is just amazing and I can go up to 2 weeks without charging!!

[Swimdeep]

The Larx is exactly why I keep the Sawyer Mini in my SUV VEDC.

[adalix]

Thank you once again, dear Jon, je vais presque tout acheter ! Et bravo à votre belle et vaillante équipe de football, le spectacle ce soir était magique (j'espère que vous ne nous détesterez pas).

[laura-rollingsquare]

Thanks, Jon!! Always a pleasure to see your videos ;)

[stuartmiller]

Great round up thanks Jon. Has sent me off in search of a knife and torch for Xmas

[ELaster]

Every item here is definitely S-Tier
Great year for EDC and for your channel, looking forward for 2023 😊

I have to say I enjoy learning about the items you show us, you seem to get to know them really well and all the nitty gritty parts of them that make them worth buying . But yes being realistic I would like to see your version of different types of EDC that are budget friendly ie note book, pens, wallets / holders, bags small and rucksacks. There are so many cheap versions out there it is hard to know what is useless or worthy . However you investigate your items though it works so well . 👍👏🐾
