Let's Look at My Dad's EDC

My dad passed on January 4. He was a general contractor and woodworker for 40+ years. Looking through some of his things has been therapeutic. Let's see what in his old-school EDC.

This is an interesting glimpse into your Dad and his life. Love the old school, practical, no frills, just gets the job done kinda gear. Sounds like your Dad was a cool real man. Sending my condolences and all the best buddy.

Sorry for your loss. A good father is so under rated in today's world. I hope we can get back to a time where we recognize that.

I know how you feel about your dad's stuff; how it expresses his character and the memories attached to these items. I lost my father a long time ago (1993, I'm almost your dad's age) but every time I pick up one of his tools it triggers memories I want to hold onto and physically reminds me that he was here.

Thank you for sharing your memories of your Dad with us. The Navajo say that no person is really gone as long as they are remembered. His treasures are now your treasures...

Thanks for sharing this. I lost my dad in 2019 and it honestly brings back great memories for me.

Funny what dads keep in their pockets and how much their sons care. My dad carried tons in his pockets, I still have all of what he carried. I know how hard it is to lose one, but their stuff and the memory of how they used it will keep them, him, alive always. Take care.

Love this. My grandfather is older now and has begun to leave his edc items to me, he has a lot of grandkids (6) and he doesn't want debates between keeping certain items.

Nice. Honoring your father will bring you peace and comfort

Thanks for sharing your dads EDC. I have many of my dads tools since he passed. I treasure them. God bless them both.

I feel ya. I lost my mom and dad on Dec. 22, 90 minutes apart. It's hard to go through your dad's things but it is therapeutic. My condolences.

Live in Huntsville myself, so that was cool to hear. It’s great that you’re sharing your Dad’s legacy. Love it.

I'm happy that you're able to have these items and connect with them so deeply. A really thoughtful and enjoyable video. God bless.

Thanx for sharing.
I still have my dad but what you said about yours and his tools resonate deeply with me. My Dad is an electrician and incredible jack of all crafts. I have been following in his footsteps my entire life.
We share a love for tools and I have allready gotten many tools handed down from my dad, who he inherited from his dad. For us, the tools of our choice is basicly extensions of ourselves. And I can feel the connection to both him and my granddad whenever I use them!

Thank you for sharing this. I lost my father to covid in Feb 21, days before his 67th birthday. He was a matter goldsmith and I've inherited all his tools and will keep his skills alive as best I can.

Just found your channel, very nice video remembering your father. I take my dad’s stuff out every now and then to remind me of him. It’s hard to lose you parents. God Bless 🙏

my grandfather has a gold cross pen and gold pencil exactly like that. he still uses it whenever he needs a pen :D

[markavelitv]

Thank you for sharing... I got a lot of my dad's stuff... his eye glasses... I put them on to think maybe just maybe I can see what my dad seen or how he viewed things.... r.i.p pops

[rendezvous]

Please accept my condolences and thanks for sharing a few fond memories of your Dad. My Dad's pocket knife(Old Timer) is in my pocket every day, every time I use it feels like he is right there helping me...

[kanukkarhu]

My condolences. I appreciated your sharing this important part of your dad. You can tell so much of a man's character by the contents of his pockets. Your dad seemed like a solid guy.
