I must say awesome video first. The being approached pumping gas scenario...few think about this option, but here is my inner city experience from a small villager...I was travelling with my kids and found myself fuel bingo on a freeway going through OKC. As I was pumping gas a group of 3 guys approached me from the side walk in an aggressive manner both physically and verbally...I stopped pumping, calmly explained I am just a father with 4 kids in the vehicle passing through and don't have any cash...they took a step closer and I pulled my lighter from my pocket and the gas nozzle from my Durango and said, choose your next steps wisely...they decided the skinny white guy was too crazy to proceed and carried on with their walk...I finished pumping my gas and left...no felony gun possession charges, no escalation of hostility from them...

Hello, Adam. FYI-what nearly everyone recognizes and uses as a 'fanny pack' is, in actuality, what is more properly known as a 'grip bag.' In the movie and television industries, a class of laborer exists, known as 'grips.' These grips are the 'johnny-on-the-spot' laborers who may be required to perform almost any detail labor needed at the moment, such as holding a light (hence, the term, grip), adjusting a key light or a microphone boom or a ballast line, etc. A good grip will store in one's grip bag nearly all the tools that grip will likely need for performing those chores while on set or on location. Grips typically wear their grip bags on the side of one or the other of one's hips, not on one's fanny side and not in front. Due to the obvious handy nature of these pouches or bags, these grip bags suddenly became widely popular in the 1980's in Central Florida by tourists, retirees, and soccer moms, all of whom would invariably wear them in front. The popularity of these grip bags has waned, somewhat, but they remain available because they remain handy items. I share this with you because you might find it of at least some mild interest. On a more humorous note, I think the rectangular battery that you equated to a lipstick actually more closely resembles one of those PEZ candy dispensers (grin). I appreciate the video. Please keep making them. Cheers.

I live in California for work. Something I tell my civie friends is “I carry the things I carry regardless of the laws. I’m willing to deal with the consequences, because that means I (and whoever I am with) survived the event that necessitated the use of my tools”. Do consider laws, but for me personally I don’t live my life in a way that the state “lets me” live it.

A Snake Staff TQ is to a CAT TQ as a Glock 43 is to a 17. Its not as ideal as a full size if you have to use it, but should still get the job done as long as you get familiar with it and its limits. The TQ also fits in a 43 holster mag slot perfectly, which is where I carry mine, keeping the spare mag in my pocket with a neomag clip.

Great vid. Never get sick of ideas for edc

My uncle was a professional pickpocket and he recommended placing wallet in the front pocket, not overstuffing wallet so it fits. He then suggested twisting the pocket as added measure.

Some very insightful selections! Regarding wallets and pick pockets: I have a wallet option that is made from thin cordura and has a small D-ring so I can attach it by a number of means to a belt loop. Not my first daily choice, but a really nice option for travel, large crowds in tight quarters, or any time when I feel pick pocketing is higher risk.

Boot strategy with tq's is real. Been carrying as such for the last ~18 months. To make it slightly more ideal for moving I've been using a piece of shock cord to hold it more to my leg, however some purpose built nylon would be definitely better. Your milage may vary with comfortablity and life span of the tq.

I’ve traveled to England and France, I wasn’t going anywhere without my knife. I got through all the checkpoints and I actually needed it in France when a guy pulled a box cutter on me, he ran when I quickly pulled a real knife out. And, I’ve went through security at a sports game where I live, by putting it in my shoe.

Tu Lam tapes on shock cord that allows you one/two finger onto his flashlight just in case he needs to go hands on. If you do, then you can confidently use your flashlight hand for anything else. When it freed up again you can go ahead and use it again as it will still be in your ready state. Pretty cool. I have that configured on my light

Problem with pistol lights from what I hear is it can’t be used defensively like a regular flashlight. Like you said, your base defense tool is a flashlight which is wise and something I have heard before. Zero legal consequences with pointing a flashlight at someone (unless you use strobe/they are epileptic) unless you have it mounted on a gun because obviously pointing one points the other (big reason some police have a flashlight and a gun separate.) If you see someone in the dark with a flashlight you will automatically point it directly upon them

Sitting here looking at his EDC, first thing that comes to mind "Batman" great ball of fire Batman. All great items for sure and all well and good for you young whipper snappers. As someone older and yes back and neck problems from the days Mom told me not to do, and after Father Time sets in you will find yourself shedding a lot of things. I am down to a Sig 365 XL with 16 rounds, auto knife and lot of time a light. I try to keep a first Aid bag in my truck along with many such things but my days of playing Batman are long gone. Don't get me wrong, I don't have the ability to play Batman, not that I haven't tried.

The hand leash on the flashlight is a great idea

If you haven't been able to get your hands on a Snake Staff TQ yet, then I'm left wondering how you know how great they are... I won't believe the hype either way until I test one for myself. However, the "Shieldbearer of Faith" channel has a review video that points out what may be some big flaws with the Snake Staff TQ. Worth checking out. I do like to see companies trying to innovate the TQ, so this is not me being negative about Snake Staff out of hatred. Just constructive criticism. The design has alot of potential.

Fixed blades are not legal for concealed carry in NC. Just fyi Adam. However… Free men don’t ask permission.

A fixed blade (milmak ccw) and a basic Swiss army knife is my favorite blade(s) combination.

A multi-tool makes a good improvised blunt force object if it's sitting in your pocket in the sheath or on your belt. Edit: I carry bulk medical for my family. Helping as a bystander would be more of hold direct pressure or use a TQ.

Enjoyed the vid. Appreciate the ideas about cheap, available tools when traveling.

If you fold it flat the SOF-T tourniquets fit neatly in a pocket. The snakestaff TQs are pretty cool tho I think they'll get a lot of people carrying something instead of leaving it in their car.

Shoot, thought you would say a can of Alpo! 😎..Thanks for making the video.

you can run a unfolded (pre sized) tourniquet down the inside of your pant leg with the windlass tucked into your belt loop. i never notice its there and you can run 3 or 4 down each leg (pre sized) to each teammate, also get a gen4 metal windlass.

Not me but a guy I know, who's definitely not me, can vouch for the Black Triangle knives. He has been wanded several times at sporting events and zoos with zero issue.

Outstanding presentation, I think you covered it all. I am also a strong believer in carring a fixed blade, I carry the Esee pr4 in a kydex sheath, weak side. It is not necessarily a fighting blade, but can do, not to mention it makes a good camp/ hunting blade. I do use the fanny packs at times, I depend heavily on a edc day pack, for medical, extra mags, food, water, fire, snively gear, etc. Again great presentation, thanks for sharing.

My everyday carry. Knives: clinch pick, and my endura spiderco. Firearm: Glock 19 Gen 5 mos with acro Gen 2 and a stream light TLR. But that's what I have on me religiously everyday.

Flashlights are a must, but I’m glad I’m not the only that thinks it can be uncomfortable though 😅. I have to carry at 1 or 5 positions to be comfortable.

The knife at 6:27. Where did you pick that up from?

Years ago, your "EDC",was a wallet, watch, pocket knife, coin purse, handkerchief and pen. Sometimes a checkbook or small notebook/binder. Some guys carried folding knives. Then, the cellphone became standard. Now, everything is specialized, like you're a secret agent or spec ops. I tell people, carry whatever is legal in your city or state. Some areas don't care about your politics or whether you have a CCW. Sorry, if I offended anyone. Bit, that's just the way it is.

I recently picked up the olight arkfeld pro light and its been a grest edc flashlight. It has a light, laser, and a black light all in one and its super slim and it uses the same magnet charger that some of my handgun lights use. That one of the reasons i picked it up, it makes having a charger near by. Much more convenient haha.. but theres a lot of good lights out there for sure. I got a few of the better brands edc lights and they are all great❤

I thought about that Surefire Stelleto, but didnt like that the battery is affixed. I have a few Streamlight protac2L-X's and really like them. 123's and 18650's can be used. I keep 2 surefire 18650 chargers with batteries in all slots. Anytime Im headed out, I switch out the battery and know I have a light for many hours. I think theyre 500 lumen. The clinch pick is my choice for a defensive blade, to fight towards my pistol, if needed. That Staccato is nice, but I dont think I could carry one in the summer. Im in NC too, many times my glocks are dripping wet in the summer. I'm not stressin the 2 rounds per mag difference.

My Benchmade Hidden Canyon and Olight Baton flashlight are my two most used tools. The flashlight, in particular, has fended off a badger who was running at me. It was early morning, and as I was getting back to my truck, a Badger - roughly 25yrds away - was drinking at the nearby stream. I slowly backed up to the truck when the badger noticed me. At first, I thought he would go the other way, then he turned and started running toward me. My options were throwing a rock (which would have only ticked him off), using the boom stick, try to reach the truck, or strobe the flashlight as a warning. Thankfully, it worked, and he stopped in his tracks and decided I wasn't worth the effort.

What kind of phone make and model, also the case. Great video!

In addition to the carrying a light thing, I also prefer to carry a small one hand torch ( I do partake in dabbing when I am home) but it has come in handy many times in situations where I needed heat that wasn't smoking related.

Can you make a list of the items discussed?

Most pat downs just brush under the arms and along the beltline. If you wear the non metallic knife on a cord around your neck, it's essentially invisible. Also, it's fairly easy to get metallic knives in through club security. Simply clip it to the waistband behind one's belt buckle, and when the wand detects the blade you can simply show security your metal belt buckle as explanation. Also can work for small pistols if you use a cowboy buckle and a tuckable holster.

Though for your videos...when you're talking gear it's nice to have the name and brand of what you're talking about written on the screen...just a short pop up. It helps us look stuff up. I'm a edc dork and like to look stuff up as you're talking. Just an idea. Thanks for the videos guys.
