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.

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

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.

Please consider subscribing and being notified to keep up to date with new video releases.

Thank you for supporting the channel.

I absolutely love this YouTube channel. He is easily the best EDC reviewer on the Internet. I often buy products he suggests and I have never been disappointed. He seems to give an honest review and it’s very knowledgeable.

[brunoargento]

I'm never inclined to buy anything this guy recommends, and yet I watch this with interest, and regularly

[neilmacphee]

Damn you Jon! I missed this video when you first released it and watched it yesterday. You made me realize I “need” a new Bellroy backpack. Fell down the rabbit hole of researching what I “need” and now have a Bellroy Transit Workpack Gen 2 on the way. You’ve influenced me into quite a few purchases, but honestly your reviews have never steered me wrong. Keep up the great work Jon. Need another video soon.

[RPGPlayground]

Jon is the best EDC YouTuber out there. Always quality videos with quality gear, love it!

[svenjaeckel]

The voice, the rhythm, the selection... JG has become my stress reducing fidget solution. Thanks Jon

[GingeryR]

2025 - I love kits. Your kits have helped me be more prepared. I can't think of a specific kit at the moment.

[keithtincher]

Watch your videos all the time, have bought items because of you..youre awesome jon

[MayorMori]

2025. I would love to see a comparison video about EDC pliers/multitools that don’t include a knife for EDC. Looking forward to more content though. I’ve enjoyed watching everything you’ve made this year. Love the Amazon hauls and top EDC/gear the most. All the best

[drex]

Not a drone enthusiast but that dji neo is starting to change my mind, thanks Jon🙏🏻

[davidl]

Discovered this channel a few days ago and it’s great. I like the presentation style and have already decided to buy a few items.

[RalfyCustoms]

Happy Christmas Jon, thanks for everything this past year, here's to a wonderful 2025 🎉 best wishes to you and yours Ralfy

[robertgrenader]

Another great year-end roundup. Thanks. Mr Gadget

[alantaggart]

Many tks for the info could you do a low budget top 10

[geoffcampbell]

2025: A great video to end the year, so thanks. For the new year, I love the mix of tech and practical gear you bring to the show, not that I would necessarily need or buy everything, but that's not the point, from the comments it seems others have, which is great. I have bought quite a few items you've showcased and if I was a lightweight air traveller, I'd have bought quite a lot more, but many items have found their way into other people's presents. So, more of the same please. Have a great Christmas 🎄. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇮🇪

[martingreen]

2025, please could we see the usual, but alongside it's budget friendly alternative, thank you.Merry Christmas Jon, many thanks for the content .

[mkzkn]

Your stuff is always so unique & useful !!! thanks for sharing

[MrClearview]

Thank you. I think your gear reviews cover a wide variety of gear and I have purchased some over the past year.

[AlexIonescudr]

The Petromax lamp is absolutely and amazing piece of engineering. It's worth buying it just as a piece of showcase craftmanship.

[andresmanueltoledo]

I loved your No compromise EDC video, I hope to see a new one!!! It inspired me with a small make up bag for carrying the tools I always keep in my car for emergency repairs! Greetings from Argentina

[donaldpump]

that drone is just nuts, i admit i havent kept up with tech, but thats straight outta sci-fi movie for me.
