EDC Update! Why My EveryDay Carry Is Changing...

Huge Thanks to We/Civivi for sponsoring the channel! Show them some love here:

2023 is a year for turning over a new leaf and that means a bunch of things are changing in my every day carry. I am stoked to show you all the new stuff that has landed in my pocket at the beginning of the year but also be prepared for some tried and true favorites to make a return. My EDC is always changing so this is what I am carrying at the start of 2023.

I work with a guy that EDC's a sling shot. He's kinda an old soul, and a dang good shot with it. We live in rattlesnake country, and he loves to eat them. He is a wealth of knowledge! We are always out in nature for our job and this guy will point out all sorts of vegetation and tell you the medicinal properties and if it's edible (while picking it up and eating it) Real cool dude!

I’ve just started my knife journey and it hurts to find out this amazing channel has already come to an end 😢.

Been carrying a Fenix E18R v2.0 for about a month now and its become my all time favorite edc light. Its small, light weight, but can be extremely bright for it's size. Can also be very dim (which is what I mostly use) to save battery. Seems to be super durable, and has a good clip too. This is my first Fenix

I use the Alpaka elements tech case daily and have been loving it so far, Glad to see a content creator shout them out for one of their products!

Thanks for all the awesome content throught the years Jamie and Zak!

That competition sling shot is a Simpleshot Scout I believe. I love hearing you say you're going to add a slingshot to your edc, it's a ton of fun! I'm 36 and got into slingshots only a year or so ago and find that it comes out to entertain people as often as my other items come out to be genuinely used. I'm really looking forward to your knife storage video as I've been looking into options recently myself. I really love the channel, Zac! Keep it up!

Love to see pocket fixed blades starting to become more popular 🤘🏼

I carry a buck 110 slim pro, an olight arkfeld in a 3d printed belt holster made by hold my gear, a Zippo with butane gas insert, a Leatherman wingman in a kydex belt holster, a fisher space pen and a Milwaukee permanent marker. I'm really liking my new olight arkfeld. It's really bright, 1000 lumens, for work or taking the dogs out at night while also having a 60 lumen setting for moving around the house or dark bedroom at night without blinding myself. The laser is also just fun to play with

Love both but this channel feels top-tier and genuine. It’s hard to describe but feels like from 13mins I’ve gotten more legitimate information then other channels do in 30-40+mins videos.

Quad lock cases are amazing. Been using then for years. So great. Car mount, bike mount, arm band for runs and the ring that's used to hold it or as a stand. They are so versatile. Love quad lock.

I lived on a farm in the midwest as a kid. I always had a slingshot in my back pocket and a front pocket full of hard feed corn. The slingshot was the plain old Boy Scout slingshot from the early '70s, a basic Y cut out of a 1x4 plank. The corn was the perfect ammo for taking out rats around the barn. When I was in first grade I got tree'd by a pack of feral dogs about a mile back in the woods, slingshot and corn cleared them out. Even edc'd back then with the Boy Scout folding knife, the slingshot and a hoof hook/knife for the horses.

When I was in college, I had a year of zoom classes, and I got really bored and found a slingshot my dad made for me. Picked it up and just started plinking in my room for fun (not recommended) during my zoom classes, ever since then I started carrying a slingshot. I've been rocking the TOPs mini sling for a while now, and I have come to really enjoy it! While I always have a deck of cards in my backpack, its nice to change up what you (and your friends) are doing when there is dead time.

You guys are one of my all time favorite channels! Keep it up!

I love pocket carry fixed blades for EDC. That Pete's Pirate knife is really sweet looking.

[garyclark]

Thanks for the reviews. I appreciate that you review affordable and higher level gear. You also got me hooked on We and Civivi knives at bhq.

[afigzr]

Thanks Zac, I'll be getting the knife and the pouch

[fredeschen]

I like your slingshot idea. And they are very useful in certain situations like dogs or other creatures that might like to bother us.

[danielbrenton]

I love watching Zacs videos because with all his work experiences changing jobs and different things he works on he carries practical gear that he knows is going to work and passes on what he loves about each piece of gear and tools watching his videos constantly gets me to rethink my EDC

[Etred]

Thanks again Zac! Clear, honest and practical content as usual.

Always much enjoyed Zac and Jamie - this kind of ties into your everyday backpack you mentioned at the end of your video.

I just put together an emergency survival back pack. This was actually recommended during a church service (during Covid pandemic) this past winter, but I never got around to it. It makes great sense, you never know when an emergency or catastrophic event will occur- greatly enjoyed the process, and it actually took a lot of thought and planning. I still feel I am missing some important gear though.

I would love to see a video about your perfect emergency/survival backpack - everyone should have one. Thank you! Great video!
