Product Sourcing:

When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either  purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review.  Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.

I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many product offers are politely declined.

Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.

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.

Let me know what you would like to see more of on the channel in the future?

[nontastic]

I would like to see EDC for the car, such as impromptu picnic, stuck at a friends house over night, compact emergency gear, and other things along those lines

[SayMcGillicuddy]

I really appreciate your budget conscious EDC content. That said, I'd love a 'money no object' companion piece...perhaps then comparing and contrasting the two. Thanks for all you do

[isabelapiva]

I’m a 28 year old woman and I’ve been following you for a few years now. I love this kind of content, and I’m sure my boyfriend loves the gifts I give him because of you. Actually, one of the first perfect gifts he ever gave me was a tiny flashlight similar to your rovyvon’s. Thank you Jon!

[nieven]

My favourite videos of yours are the EDC/travel videos which actually thinks about usability and practicality. Also, I think Jamie should come back for a fun video again soon. Love the interaction between you two!🤩🤣

[jordanthompson]

my favorite content that brought me to your channel is you travel kit videos. I love seeing your updated get me out of trouble kits

[JDRod]

I love the kit videos you put together. In fact, both my wife and I love watching those. She also loves your voice, but I'll leave that between you two 😂

[IliFree]

I can never get enough of your Kit videos(the ready to go pouches), they are a lot of fun and give people inspiration to do their own.
I would also love to see more of the competitions you do with your editor, there are only a couple so far, but there should be a lot more.

[egbluesuede]

honestly this is my favorite type of content, the classy side of EDC. My carry goes into more professional environs, and I consider myself a gentleman and EDC geek.

[callmeishamael]

I’d love to see more videos on bags and other organizational tools. Tech bags, slings, backpacks, pouches, whatever! I always love the presentation and approach to your reviews and look forward to new releases!

[robertfiser]

All of your videos are great, and I love the travel gadgets and the small EDC, so this would be great to have more.

[mikeyfelley]

Another well thought out video Jon well done. For me there’s no need to add what i would like to see more off as your videos are ideal. The varied selection of items are right up my street. Also the fact you provide links to everything blows some other channels out the water.
Well Done & keep up the good work
Mike

My favourite content has always been your travel content especially your packing list from around a year ago. I enjoy watching all your different kits videos for different ones for different environments and situations (favourite kit being your Urban Essentials series or your car kit). Love the content and than you for another amazing video!

[redarrowman]

I have put together several edc carry pouches since watching your channel. Some people think I am crazy until they ask me to get them out of trouble. “Have you a knife or torch lost my keys down the drain” so I would like to see an edc for women to carry dare I say it. Thanks for the content

[robjw]

More practical session as you have done with the torches outside. These give a real feeling to your excellent commentary! Keep up the great work 😊

[alphamale]

I enjoy your channel and especially like when you and your mate each make selections of gear and compare your combinations.

[SamlowryB-]

UK friendly edc, rucksacks, shoes, quirky gadgets. The sky's the limit.

[_GeekyDad_]

I quite like the idea of seeing what EDC you can get from brick-and-mortar stores and I also enjoy the budget battles.

[Diego]

I love the channel. I can never get enough of travel gear videos. Also, I would like to see more invovative EDC and travel gear.

[superdave]

I love your channel and I love seeing more of just the random edc gadgets you find that I would otherwise never find on my own. That is also an amazing prize package to be won 👍
