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.

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!

Nitecore TUP1000 on Amazon: amzn.to/3EFdpaw
(FYI, the TUP uses Micro USB - if you love the form factor like I do, but prefer USB-C, I definitely recommend the T4K which I also own and use as my main travel flashlight. It's a bit bigger but blasts significantly more max output and you can check it out on Amazon here: amzn.to/3r8naep )
OLight Warrior Mini 2 on Amazon: amzn.to/3EFdzyE
(This is the torch I use primarily at work at the metal fabrication workshop)
Rovyvon E4 Pro Ti on Amazon: amzn.to/3t1t69C
I DEFINITELY think this is overpriced seeing as how for a third of the price you can get the aluminum-bodied E3 Plus with basically the same technical specs if Titanium isn't important to you... check out the Rovyvon E3 Plus on Amazon to compare for yourself: amzn.to/3ZobDUY
7:00 - Watches
Seiko SRPD55K on Amazon: amzn.to/46gfeGS
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.
Seiko SSA405J1 on Amazon: amzn.to/3PkoDpU
7:40 - Notebooks & Pens
Travelers Company Notebook on Amazon: amzn.to/3PoVj1D
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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I've been loving my Lochby pocket notebook case, and I'm thinking of trying to use it as a wallet. Since I also to carry a separate wallet, I sometimes leave the notebook at home and then regret not having it on me when an idea strikes, but if I keep my essentials in it, I'll have to bring it everywhere with me. The only thing is that since it's so large, I have to take it out of my pocket when I sit down, so that'd be my wallet on the table/desk all the time...maybe a little bit more risky for losing it or something. Worth an experiment though!

  • 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.

    @marcusa3177@marcusa31778 ай бұрын

    • RovyVon have several options for EDC flashlights with secondary red LEDs. They are usually on the side and are designed for flood, not throw, but they are indeed quite useful for preserving that night vision. Personally I use the A8 Gen 4 with the White/Red/UV side lights, and I keep it on my keychain.

  • I'm glad those things work well for you, and have many of them. Those are a fine starting place, for the most part. Some (like the Lamy), I would questing wasting money on. They are eye candy. Some of your stated use cases are potentially dangerous, and certainly bad advise. Most of your EDC decisions are not horrible, but certainly there are better options available. But, for a beginner, not bad.
