How to build the perfect EDC for you.

Despite making quite a few Everyday Carry videos, my actual EDC kit has been the same for many years because it just works perfectly for me. After all, your everyday carry is supposed to make life better - comprised of the things you use and carry with you literally every single day.

This is by far, the slimmest wallet I've found, and since I don't like pocket bulk, I don't see me changing it up anytime soon.

1:36 - Key Solutions
Me and Eric typically make these twice a year at the workshop - we only made 100 for this random drop, so apologies in advance if they are already sold out by the time you dropped by!

(This is the torch I use primarily at work at the metal fabrication workshop)

7:00 - Watches
My Seiko SKX007 was discontinued a few years ago - the Seiko 5 Sports linked above is their modern version. Less water resistance at 100m compared to the 200m of the SKX, but has hacking and handwinding and is still, one the best bang-for-buck entry-level mechanical watches on the market.

7:40 - Notebooks & Pens

Superior Labor Double Pen clip: These are tough to find since Superior Labor is such a small workshop brand from Japan. Your best bet is to Googe "Superior Labor Pen Clip + *Your City or Country*" and see what local retailers carry their products and contact them directly.

This video accidentally became a ‘what to get for the men in your life’ video. Greatly needed and couldn’t have come at a better time; husband’s birthday coming up and I’ve got ideas now.

That pocket notebook is great
As a student who choose to reduce phone usage as much as possible, I find those notebooks very helpful

I edc a UAV for some aerial reconnaissance, because you know how a life of edc goes, also sometimes i edc armor plates and termite you guys know it right

Flowfold Wallet is an awesome one for a minimalist. I use a ranger band (heavy rubber band) to hold the less used cards and backup cash, then leave my three most used cards loose in front. That system has worked well for years. Keeps cards clean to, for the working folks.

Utmost respect and admiration for your thought processes and vision for creating this and all your videos. Your humble, zen-like approach and tone are captivating, and you are very influential with your knowledge and command of words. Keep on keeping on fam. Love from Bahrain

D2 and 1095 are 2 of my favorite steels on pocket knives. I own around 300 knives and counting. What many are too young to know is D2 was once considered a premium steel before today's much more complex premium steels. D2 is a true workhorse steel perfectly balancing toughness and resilience. Whenever I see anyone dogging on D2, I know they are merely echoing others who base their negative perceptions purely on price points. D2 is simply a mass-produced steel on a scale larger than all of today's premium steels combined, which equates to a much lesser expensive price point. D2 is a workhorse steel for the working person and not just expensive pocket candy for opening Amazon packages.

One thing I'd really love to have in a EDC torch is the red LED. People think the red LED is a gimmick, but nothing preserves your night vision like that red LED. You can reserve the high-lumen torch to flashbang someone when in a pinch XD

Couple of watch-related points:
- what's that gorgeous single-pass NATO on the SKX? I love them NATO straps, and the SKX platform is such a strap monster. You can get a totally new watch just by swapping out the strap for a bracelet or another strap
- worth keeping an eye out: Seiko is releasing an Alpinist GMT. 3-day power reserve, 200m water resist, sapphire glass with AR coating, ultra-hard finishing, all the mid-range Prospex goodies. The catch is that it's a caller GMT, and that the original colorway (gold hands on sunburst green dial) is a JDM exclusive. But that, for me, would probably be *the* GADA watch. Dress, field, travel (or anything that requires you to track two time zones), even some water time? Yes please.

During 13 years as a trucker I carried the Skeletal CX with the 154CM blade every single day for over a million miles. It's seen constant use and still holds up. I've also used D2 extensively and can confirm that it's a workhorse steel.

Another brilliant video! ❤ By deconstructing your rationale for each piece, I've learned a bunch of new things to consider!

[willyromney]

This vid was recommended for some reason and I found out that there's a bunch of weirdos that like to carry way too much stuff with them

I’ve been using the Carhartt canvas wallet with zipper for a few months. For short lists and quick notes, I slipped some blank business card-sized card stock into the rear horizontal slip pocket and added an adhesive pen loop to that same pocket. Didn’t even have to adhere it - friction holds it nicely in place. Added a Fisher space pen to the loop. Great little compact system that would be fine for a pocket, but I mostly use with a slim cross-body bag. (BTW, I love fountain pens and carry a three-pen sleeve with my planner, but I don’t have them on me ALL the time.) That Lochby looks tempting!

This video rocks as all of your videos do. Though I'm retired, I still love my EDC and still carry them today. I no longer work but volunteer and my EDC is still relevant today. Love your videos so keep making them as I look forward to viewing them.

Excellent and convincing presentation (as well as video editing). I like the reassuring and moderate tone, the fluent but not aggressive verbal speed of expression, qualities that are very rare among bloggers/youtubers.
I have just one small consideration, strictly personal: I got the shivers when, pointing at the (beautiful) dial of the Seiko watch, you use as a pointer the blade of the Tanto, sharper than a razor. Unless the Seiko's dial glass is made of unbreakable sapphire, it would be enough to touch it with that blade to scratch it irreparably...

Been looking for a video like this, awesome content

[SanjeetMoulic]

for pocket knife, i carry a swiss knife because it is sharp, durable, corrosion ressistant and it also has a lot of tools.

[Hai-tjsv]

I like this channel, sharing exquisite small objects in daily life ❤

[dionaditya]

Thank you for this video. I've started to declutter my EDC for the past 3 months and this video helped me even further to put utilitarian thinking to my EDC setup. As i will not put (more) less usefull but tacticool / cool gears 😅

[kriscarv]

I purchased the SPEC-DNT at the beginning of the year and love it! It’s so useful especially with hands full with a baby and toddler at times. I would 1000% recommend it. (No typo. I mean 1000%)

[willeniumfalcon]

Chums surfshort wallet is another good alternative to the Carhartt. Two zippered storage areas and a keyring. Awesome content as always 🤙

The Cold Steel Code 4 tanto is S35VN steel and comes in at just over a hundred bucks. Great knife, I have the clip point and love it. It's the thinnest folder I have, and fits in just about any pocket. Since this video has released, there are a few new Civivi options for D2 steel that have a flipper tab and button lock (but I think they lack the metal scale option, I only saw in G10).
