    It’s all in the eye of the beholder. That knife he carries could be used for “self” defense. It means something different for everyone. We can all agree in that whatever brings us joy, yes? I don’t carry a gun, but I carry a knife-technically a self defense weapon. Can’t argue that. I hope and pray I am never put in a situation to use it like that, but one never knows these days. The playing field has changed. Everyday carry is just that, a wallet, sunglasses, knife, flashlight, keys, phone, headphones, chapstick, pen, etc.

    One of my most used EDC items is a bandana. I can use it as a hanky, a napkin, a sweat rag, a hair tie, etc. Having a bit of cloth is just so versatile, it is something I actually use every day and I've never seen it on EDC youtube.

    I've recently realized this too. It's the edc towel from Hitchhikers Guide. Though mine's not an actual bandana. It's a "head sock" they were handing out at a running event. It's the thin/soft bandana material as a flexible tube that slips easily on and off your head. My friction with actual bandanas is I suck at tying them and it always feels like they are about to fall off unless I make them way too tight.

    I like your definition of EDC. I have always been of the thought that everyone has an EDC, whether we think about it in those terms or not. We all have routines that require tools. For most people those tools are keys, a phone and a wallet but when we are more conscious about what we carry on our person daily tasks become more convenient. That’s is why everyone’s EDC (and their definition of it) will be different.

    Hey Marcus, great video! You were spot on about the hate! I think EDC is a set of ideals of what you carry- keys, wallet, watch, pen, tools & phone, the fun part is fitting them around your life! I always have a pan, paper, a cutting edge (be it a tool or even just a scissors) that is NOT a knife blade to go with the essentials. I love a torch if i am out or likely to be out after dark & I do like a high lumen or strobe setting as a security blanket. One point, even a SAK can cause issues, legally in Ireland, its the interpretation of the individual Garda as to the reasonableness of the excuse for having possession of any bladed object or tool; the jet setter is great for a key chain option but unless you design a Roxon Flex with out a blade or can remove the blade from whatever multitool you want to carry you are at the whim of a Garda. Keep up the great videos

    A wonderfully personal EDC discussion. A few tips: JetPens offers all things stationary (paper, pens) with special emphasis on Japanese products. Midori (excellent Japanese paper) offers very nice compact notebooks in A6, one of which includes a 14 month monthly calendar. Dark Sucks still sells the Prometheus pen sized flashlights. Very pricey, but there are other options. Lastly Big Skinny sells very functional, compact wallets in nylon or leather. I use a dual-currency model which fits my front pocket. Thanks.

Also the same for my Maxpedition Tactical Pen (Model A...) that is great to break a side car window when you remember to strike the corner of the window ! My watch EDC is a NATO/EDC watch band with a Suunto button clip on compass ! Remember "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers. Also carry an Olight with moon light mode for Star Parties (Red Lights are better) and 2300 Lumes when need to blind some person or dog... tjl

    I completely agree with your definition of EDC and ultimately your EDC if it works for you and your needs then that's a great EDC. Personally, I carry more tools, inspired heavily by the Ben Vallack EDC video from a couple of years ago, because I'm in the UK and it makes sense for me. Although, in recent months my pocket only tools tend to get left at home in favour of my considerably more capable Backpack tool pouch. I'm planning to acquire another one or more likely several multi-tools in the near future though as well. Been really enjoying your content, keep up the great work.

So, for me, it’s a watch, a wallet and a phone, plus a small Victorinox knife and a tiny Lumintop torch on a clip in my “coin pocket”. Maybe one day I’ll get that Rolex…….😎

    I'm adding that pen to my to get list. $100 is absurd to me to pay for a pen but I love writing with well made pens that move good and feel good in the hand. As far as a first carry knife I would also recommend the Kershaw Leek. I used mine for work for years and it never broke and was easy to sharpen, I still have it I'm just trying out a new knife now. I love how EDC means something different to everyone, for example someone in a office isn't going to carry pliers and a pocket prybar like a mechanic will. Being a mechanic, watches or other jewelry is off the table. I will vouch for that Rovyvon flashlight, not only is it great for illumination but it has a backward clip so you can hook it on your hat for a handsfree option along with magnetic points for other handsfree use. Your channel is so laid back and good spirited and I look forward to your videos to see what you have to share.

    Hi Marcus! Of course I carry an EDC as well. But it’s rather boring if I stuck to the exact meaning of carry something actually every day. I like to call it EDC rotation. So the items I carry with me could change. I’ve got many watches and smaller pocket knives in my collection. As well as some flashlights, pens and wallets. I love to match these items. So, for example, if I wear my bronze watch I’m going to combine it with a pocketknife that has brass handles or frames, a brass flashlight and pen as well as a light brown leather wallet. In addition I’ve got some coins or worry stones. In this case I would pick my bronze Viking coin to complete this EDC rotation. Yes, and of course there are the usual suspects as well - my iPhone, my keys, a silver/gold ring, the Oura ring, a pack of tissues and my glasses if I have to drive. Best wishes, Claus

I bought the lilliput in gold for myself and in copper for my girlfriend on a recent trip to Europe and we both love it, thanks for the advice about it. I have one question: I was thinking of buying the Olight Perun 2 Mini as you mentioned in a video in your opinion is the one you chose, but now you recommend this ROVIVON E8 right now I have the OLIGHT i1R2 Pro. PS. If one day I can afford a Rolex I will us ONLY for special events, not as EDC ;-)

    When you said people come here for EDM that slayed me 😂 I think I define EDC differently than you do (in the sense that I wouldn’t include travel items because for me that wanders too far from the ‘every’) but I also wouldn’t say I disagree with you either 😊. I feel like if people are getting upset about that, that might be a them problem lol I enjoyed your small notebook! I wasn’t expecting you to be busting out my bud Tomoe River! I also carry around a little notebook but it’s a little different. I made myself a little 1/8 letter discbound book with 1/4” discs. I really like that there is never a brand new notebook because even though I love the feel of a new notebook, it means what I wrote yesterday isn’t in there. And you can change the covers whenever and move pages to other discound notebooks as a bonus. That’s why I like it at least I got into fountain pens maybe a year ago and my favorite EDC fountain pen is the Pilot e95s. I have an EF but I feel like it writes more like a Pilot F - I did get it used so many something happened to it but it still writes well. I’m a pretty small person (5’1”) and don’t really like my pens to be too heavy but if you do, you might want to check out the Traveler’s company pen. I think they have it in a fountain pen version and one that you can put a more standard refill in. Iirc they’re brass as opposed to copper if that is a dealbreaker The phrase “front pocket wallet” is so foreign to me. When women’s clothes even bother to have a non-fake front pocket I don’t think even the smallest wallet would fit in one if you still want to be able to go up the stairs I carry my things in an ever so stylish fanny pack (although I love my Osprey Daylite Waist Pack) and I know they’re trendy now but I wear it around my waist like the nerd that I am 😁 I also don’t think you’re crazy for carrying a toy car around. You have a very specific reason but even if you didn’t I feel like “it makes me happy” is sufficient

I think you missed handkerchiefs (either regular cotton or half microfibre). Smaller than carrying your towel....... I carry a coin that has writing on it that I use in times of distress. So your car is a perfect example of something you should carry.

    Get a small notebook and keep it in your front wallet pocket. Just basically treat your wallet and notebook as one entity.

  • @Penelope222
    @Penelope2222 ай бұрын

    As a woman I’ve been through a lot of handbags, and never really thought about it being part of the EDC definition. I’ve been through lots of different sizes, even down to just a phone case with card spaces. But honestly due to handbags having a decent amount of space, I’m not usually aware of everything in there. Case in point, once went through security and discovered I’d somehow ended up with a FORK in a pocket I never use. Pretty sure the children may have had a part in that… What I’ve gotten most out of EDC videos is carrying with intention, and the reasons for everything I carry. Aesthetics - I have several wallets that bring me joy when I bring them out. They’re small, but carry all I need, and they look nice. Time management - as a parent I spend a lot of time WAITING. So my EDC always includes my Kindle and a small crochet project. If not, I spend way too much time on social media/phone gaming. Also notebook and pen is also a must, I’m still using Apple calendars but I’m trying hard to use notebooks for everything else. Still experimenting with preferred notebooks and pens though. Safety - I’m about to add a bright, strobing torch as I keep seeing videos on this being a good non-contact item to deter/distract attackers. Also let’s face it the iPhone torch is crap. I also have keys on a lanyard, so I can swing it as a weapon if need be and stay further from an attacker. Never had to use it but it’s something I’ve had to think about most of my life. A small first aid kit (Band-AIDS, allergy meds, paracetamol, antibacterial wipes). When you have little kids it’s always worth carrying these things but it surprised me how often I’d use it for me or other adults so I’ve kept using it. I’d like a cute tin to store it in though. I haven’t carried a multitool for years, although growing up farming it’s something I carried and used a lot. Recently been very interested in having one again so it’s on the list. My eldest is into jewellery making, and makes me a new key ring every year for Christmas. This serves as both fidget toy and sentimentality. I don’t think she knows how much it means to me! I’ve enjoyed going through everything and seeing it with the goals of intentionality and aesthetics, instead of just throwing everything in there and then having to search through for the useful items.

    My EDC would be like: keys (I have them on a cute Shiba Inu keychain from Lihit Lab, but I like your OrbitKey recommendation so might switch over), iPhone 15 pro, dog poop bags because I’m usually with my dog, a Victorinox Climber, a small handkerchief, and a little tin with medicine (tums, gravol, beano, lactaid, advil, allergy meds, etc., also includes a couple bandaids). I also usually have a small bottle of sunscreen (Super Goop Unseen Sunscreen) to reapply if I’m going out for more than 2 hours, and a lip balm (Clinique Black Honey). Sometimes I will also add a little tin of salt if I’m going out to eat because I like salty food and not every place has shakers (judge if you want idc). For me, EDC would also include my prescription sunglasses, since I also live in California and wouldn’t go out without them unless it was night time, and a very tiny foldable bag that I put inside my purse to always have a tote handy. And it has come in handy sooo many times that I bought a second one as well. I also have a couple tiny carabiners on my SAK and in a loop inside my jacket pocket that have been more useful that I expected (eg for folding up my windbreaker and clipping it to my bag instead of having to carry it). Also, personally I get hangry if I go too long without food, so my EDC would include popping my small 9oz S’Well bottle into my purse (usually my Kanken sling but sometimes a Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag) along with a protein bar just in case I get stuck on the subway or something. Oh, and I barely go anywhere without my Kindle either, especially if I’m taking public transit. I like the idea of adding a little flashlight too so I might look into that RovyVon you mentioned. (Just writing this comment has made me think about the gender differences there could be in EDC that men carry vs women. I feel like a lot of people might not necessarily consider the stuff women are carrying around in their purses EDC the same way, but I think it is. They maybe just film stuff that’s more framed as “what’s in my purse” rather than “what’s my EDC”. Just a thought. Cheers!)

    EDC is about the individual. I’ve seen some EDC videos, where everything is a weapon. I guess if you are afraid of everything, then you need a gun, knife, pepper spray, taser and brass knuckles in your EDC. My EDC is my phone, my wallet, glasses, flashlight, car keys and my watch. My other less carried items are earbuds, batteries and cables, leatherman tool.
