“If you’re buying them, use them. That’s what they’re for.” Amen! Use your tools! Great user kit video.

For the mechanical pencil seeker: Kuru Toga is an amazing pencil made in Japan. Affordable, good looking, and really nice.

Pentel Kerry is my daily mechanical pencil, it has a cap that protects me from jabbing myself with the sharp tip, I wish some companies would make a pencil with a cap like it, so far I have only found the Pentel Kerry and another brand called Tombow Zoom, I prefer the Pentel because it's smaller with the cap covering the tip and the eraser on the Pentel is easier to get access to when writing.....I would be very interested in others with a removable cap, especially copper, bronze, or black that were made more like some of Big Idea Design pens

One in route.

Hearing about these hand me downs really fills my heart because it's always just so beautiful being able to hear or know that someone is still able to connect with their loved ones with a physical object, keep up the great work tay.

Awesome to hear about your grandfather I’m the same with mine he bought me my first camera and has helped me do some knife maintenance such a great thing to connect over

Yes Orient watches are damn good for the price. The TriStar collection is a group of Damn good mechanical watches for about $130. As a whole their watches mostly average $150-$300 but you get a whole lot for your dollar. Plus there's a crapload of designs to choose, from diver's to vintage styles.

Love my allox minichamp. I get so much use out of it despite its tiny size. One of my favorite items to make your carry less bulky in the pocket. Well worth its price tag

I watch alot of these EDC videos and I have to say they are great, but I have never seen any for US visually challenged. Personally, I have to have a pair of reading glasses NO matter what. The pair I have with my EDC is a pair Foster Grant foldable reading glasses that fold into a zippo sized glass case. It would be nice to see an episode on the something different than the usual EDC.

I just got some of my first EDC gear in the last month or so. I have a carry that would fit perfect in this vid. I’m in love with my green baby banter 😍

Been watching your channel as I've started getting into EDC properly. Great content and super informative.

If you are down for modifying your stuff most space pens are brass construction, same with zippos so you can just sand off the coating and you have a brass pen and it looks cool. I did that with my chrome space pen that i bought before i knew what I wanted and it’s great.

I love these videos. I'm poor with two kids and private school and really expensive stuff that I like and not in the to-do list. I like the look of the stuff you have but needed on a budget. Lumin top makes a good flashlight for around $30-$50. 650 to a 1000 lumens with a tail switch and is pretty good. And rechargeable USB AA battery

I agree completely about the Iona. The aluminum scales option is very good. Its an underrated knife...

Refyne ep1!! Bought this pen a year ago as my first edc pen and I love it, found it first on this channel, love your work and the channel!

Taylor, great vid. I'm a gear guy but a bigger watch guy. Your watch is a perfect fit and look on you. It catches my eye on every camera shot and it looks natural on you. Keep rockin' it.

The FWAA is the best 14500 light, imo. I either carry one of my numerous D4v2’s, a RovyVon, or the FWAA. Plus, the FWAA can be optioned with different emitter options. SST20 4000k is my choice, tho

A really nice affordable pocket friendly mechanical pencil is the Kerry Pentel. Compact light weight quality construction. The latest Orient Triton is quite the watch with a sapphire crystal and in house movement. Very affordable new and shouldn't disappoint.

This is by far my favorite channel. I'm big on EDC. Would like to show you what I carry but I don't have social media.

They do, but it’s like 6000-6500k cool white. And maxes out at about 350 lumens. The Lumintop can have just about any led you want and uses lithium rechargeable as well. It also runs Anduril 2, so it can auto lockout, battery check, ramping or stepped, candle mode, turbo, etc etc. I have a couple i5r’s I’m just going to sell at this point. The simple low/high can be nice, but it just doesn’t get pocket time for me.

Thanks for the feature! Honestly didn't expect to get in first time I submitted. Really made my day. Sorry for the awkward writeup lol.

Just found your site. I will definitely be checking out Worn Socks and it is so cool that you linked to the Damasko watch on Long Island Watch. Marc is a great guy and his company is second to none in terms of doing business.

Love the videos thanks for getting me in to this hobby.

My favorite fixed blade in the $50 range is easily the CRKT minimalist. You can get them in the $30's, they are small but comfy in the hand, and very durable. Both in terms of blade strength and edge retention. They are small but very comfortable to hold, and they have a variety of blades available. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think CRKT gets nearly enough love. Especially for the budget minded EDC peeps.

I absolutely love my minimalist clever, (and plan on getting the other blade styles) like you said small but comfy. I neck carrie mine and forget it's even there sometimes lol. Perfect for EDC or out in the woods as a small tasks or backup blade. I also own the S.P.E.W which is a great option.

14:34 Hey Taylor, what about the Streamlight Macrostream? I don't know the tint but it checks all the other boxes pretty well 👌 Great vid as always, thanks.

I like this session shows peoples styles and what they own and I like the comparisons you should do more videos like this one. really like that qsp penguin or the colors I guess mostly

I have two Real Steels and they are awesome- Akuma is a big, fidgety workhorse and a gentlemanly carbon fiber Luna.

Yes to the Exclusive mini-champ, you make I'll buy it, great video. Trying to justify the slingshot to my wife :D

Already said below, but Lumintop FWAA is an easy win. Tons of emitter options at $45. I have one in copper and carry it more than anything. Basically stopped carrying olights except on my keychain.

For the 14500 with good tint, get a convoy T2 with the 219b 4500k emitter. The tint is absolutely gorgeous. Its a little big for a 14500 light but I love it.

That's the pouch I use! Love being able to use my torch without taking it out the pouch. Had it for about a year now, it's good quality leather. Wasn't cheap for me though haha I had to pay as much for shipping to the UK! Saw it in the Lock Picking Lawyers edc video

The brass qsp penguin is a great knife. I carry it every day.

For the picket fixed blade, Esee izula with some scales is awesome.

Just so you know the tactile turn pencil does not hold up in the cabinet shop. Otherwise its nice for everyday use. They use schmitt inserts and I'm lucky to keep it working for a week in the shop

Paused the video at 1:24 to go order my slingshot. I've had a few in various watch lists for literally years and I figured, if it's good enough for you Taylor, it's going to be good enough for me. Now for the big question. Replacement rubbers and can we just get standard off the shelf replacements? Cheers! Zip~

Paused again to say, i really like your comment of " no safe queens." ...although I have some. AND I'm impressed with your ability to add. I used to have that ability,,,,,before I bounced my face off the asphalt

Just picked up some Everyman pens. A twist in brass and a click in their green color. I like them and think I got my money's worth. I imagine their mechanical pencils will be equally good. If that helps.

Couldn't agree more about the Ace Iona

👍 thanks for this. Real world, user gear. Mod gear next 👌. Can’t wait.

Fireflies AA is a great stainless steel budget light. Several emitter choices and only $20-25.

Is nitro-v stainless steel good for edc on a fixed blade? I've carried a cheap pocket knife for 7 years until yesterday I was using it and the lock gave out and now my hand is wrapped up. I saw Bradford was highly recommended but I don't really want to spend 200 bucks on a knife I saw the same Bradford but with Drop they used the nitro-v stainless steel and is only 140 bucks

Have you ever tried the Amtac Blades Northman ? I’d be curious to see what you think of that blade as a utility edc fixed blade.

What are the boots you were putting on when talking about the socks? I really like the look of those!

What are the best multitool for every day carry

Another underrated budget pen is the Bellroy Notetaker at only $30.

Interesting knives!

You mentioned the Giltek Raw wallet in an earlier video, you definitely need to check out Decadent minimalist wallet.

I'm not sure if anyone has said in the comments I didn't see any, but the dapper designs ION flashlight is titanium not stainless, at least the one I know of is titanium, and it's about 60$ they may have a stainless variant though

The Emerson Kershaw cqc-5k is another good one

For the gent looking for a Budget Pencil. I like the Pentel GraphGear 500 and still digging my Zebra M-701 stainless steel Pencil for the gent looking for a good budget EDC pencil. the Rite in the Rain Pencils are nice just not my style.

I’d recommend a Gerber Shard or Kershaw PT2. You get a way to open packages, flat head and philips head screwdrivers, pry tool, bottle opener, and with the Kershaw you get three hex wrenches. They should be perfectly TSA approved since they’re not dangerous in any way.

Hi Taylor, where are the zip hoodies from that you are wearing?

The Pentel Sharp Kerry is a really great mechanical pencil. You should give it a try.

I like wearing vest, so do you know any vest that are good for edc carrying all your odds and ends?

Глядя на то что здесь считается бюджетным, я думаю надо было тоже свой прислать... Спасибо за видео👍

I bought an Olight today got the I1R2 Pro has USB-C instead of Micro-USB.

For the 14500 flashlight have a look at the Skilhunt E2A. Comes with a choice of LEDs, two way pocket clip, tail switch and a couple of colours for around $30 including a rechargeable 14500 battery. Picked up the Gunmetal one recently and have been really impressed with it.

Seems there's this meme that Invicta watches are sub par, or something. I've got an Invicta 9302 in Titanium, with a mineral glass back, and Japanese 21 jewel Miyota movement, and I'd had it for 22 years, and it's performed admirably.

I’ve been trying to find some videos on edc for guys that wear overalls. Any help in that area? I know a lot of what you show would apply. Just wanted to see a setup.

Love the Rotring 600, but it's unfortunately not pocket-safe. I've had a Rotring 800 with the retractable tip (making it pocket safe) but the extra moving parts made it prone to jamming and was frustrating. The Rotring 600 fits a standard BIC pen cap though, so you can add that if you like and don't mind the mismatched aesthetic. I've never managed to find a custom cap, though I can imagine there's something out somewhere... if you find anything let me know!

Paused to ask, "an all day dry sock in ALL conditions?" Yesterday I had to basically turn upside down in a freakin bottom ash crusher to pry out a chunk of steel that had it bound up. I had water pouring down on me with so much pressure that it was a task getting turned back upright just to be able to get outa there. I had a Tyvek suit on but was still soaked from head to toe. My leather boots never entered the crusher, but were pretty damn wet when I got there. How good are these socks? I haven't looked at the site yet, but same me some time and money. Will they "keep my feet dry in ALL conditions?"
