My fav EDC content producer from across the big pond!

Great video as always! Couple of items I hadn’t seen before. Thanks Jon!

Since the weather is pretty bad and it gets dark early, I have added the small Olight clip to the outside of my backpack. I switch it to red when I am riding my motorcycle, as some added way of making myself visible as some motorists have a hard time seeing the back light of a motorcycle. I have also cut out a piece of red Orafol retroreflective film and stuck it underneath the lens. The light clips to any MOLLE webbing and I have secured it additionally with a piece of paracord that hooks to a Grimloc carabiner. That way I can’t lose it. Plus, the carabiner is a great place to hang my ignition key when I am at work.

The additional. retroreflective velcro name tape and Paracord zipper pulls make the pack light up like a christmas tree when shining a light on it.

Hand warmers should be called wrist warmers. People use them wrong. I had wrist bands that held warmers, but if you stuff them in your gloves or athletic wrist bands on your pulse point, they warm the blood going into your hands making them warm. This is how I played in marching bands in Massachusetts in the winter with warm hands.

This is the first video i have seen of yours, and i am already a fan! I get bored of a lot of edc channels I watch nowadays as I feel like i already know all the items or they are ridiculously priced. The vice and the scissors are probably going to be 100% purchases when I get back home, they are things I have never seen listed before. Thanks for the video!

[mars_herring-sprx]

Cheers for the review John! Your style of reviewing is unmatched

[donaldcarr]

Great video. You have chosen the most practical and likely to be used items . I possess some of these items already and can vouch for the quality.

[wvbeatlefan]

Great video! I picked up an Alpaca Zip Pouch on a black Friday deal and it has totally changed my EDC. Mine is the opposite of yours, black on the outside and orange on the inside, which I really prefer. It looks classy, and things are easy to see on the inside. Also thank you for recommending the plastic sleeves. They're super handy.

[rebeccagovan]

Really love your videos!!!! Thanks Jon!!!

[captainbilgewater]

Thanks Jon, really tempted by the Olight Oclip Pro. It's basically a perfect feature set for me, and looks so good in orange. Last thing I need, but will probably find it's way to me soon.

[Philhellene]

Thank you Jon. Hand warmers bought on Amazon UK and the code worked for 10% off.

[signalvideo]

Another excellent budget edc review! I always enjoy the hidden features that you present. Cheers Jon.

[ChrisSnowden-vyur]

A nice selection of products as always. Good to see the bladeless mini sailor lite I carry mine every day and find it really useful. I also like the look of the Hoto ES screwdriver with the endless pencil. Thanks again for another great video.

[apistosig]

Thumbs up for the Stanley vice 🙂 The Oclip is excellent - but I upgraded to the Oclip Pro - bigger yes, heavier yes - but more of everything.

[rorycalhoun]

Tks (from Montana) for all your Vidjas and I try to use your links!!!

[johnlotsu]

I’ve got a range of ocoopa handwarmers for the family, they are great for camping/ winter and work!

[rachelwhite]

I love your videos. Thank you so much for your content. You keep me from using hours of my day following every rabbit trail that comes along with EDC!

[ronhess]

Must get the LTT pen!

Quality picks JG.
