Күн бұрынBudget is one of the biggest considerations when creating our Everyday Carry kits, and in this video, I compare a $150 vs $1,500 COMPLETE EDC kits, both following the same thing: the Woodlands Edition - featuring earth tones of greens and browns.

Nice choices! The only things I wouldn't use in either kit are the wallets. I much prefer a bi-fold that holds cash, has a drivers license display pouch, and a few card slots, in leather. They are cheap. Got a genuine leather one at Fred meyer 10 years ago or longer, and never needed another. Pens, knives, flashlights, watches on the other hand--customize away! Super fun to mix and match around.

I’d recommend doing a copper/brass carry comparison! It sounds hard to make a budget carry out of, but with knives such as the QSP Penguin and pen brands like Smootherpro, you could easily put together a complete brass and/or copper carry for under $250 or maybe even $200. On the flip side, throw some Flytanium brass scales on that mini crooked river of yours and now you’ve got a $330 or so knife. Also, with this type of video I’d love to see more comparisons as to how they perform functionally at the different price points to help people get a better grasp on whether or not they “need” or even want to dive into higher end EDC. Thanks for the great video, and thanks for taking the time to read this suggestion!

In the US state I live in, we are allowed to carry firearms - concealed or open. On the higher-end setup, I would say a leather man and a sidearm are the essentials. For a sidearm, the Glock 43 is perfect for concealed carry. Add the leatherman and a sidearm, and we cross into the $2300 range. I have some friends, men and women alike, who by far exceed that with firearm models and their 'must wear' jewelry. It gets pretty ridiculous.

Loved the format of the video, I would though go for a different pen and paper in the 150 kit. I would get a small notebook(B7) from Alpica, which can be had for less than 2 dollars from Jet Pens or Amazon. Then maybe opt for a more expensive fountain pen, like the Pilot Metropolitan (15), or if you want to go cheaper, a Platinum Preppy ($4.50). Zebra does make an F-301 with a fountain pen tip, it's called the V-301. I don't know if it's any good, but it's built like it, can bit had for less than 5 dollars. With the Preppy, you can then do the opt in for the two pens for two different colorways, for around 8 dollars. This of course would screw with the price points of 150 dollars, but not by much. I would have to spend less on the knife, I guess. On the 1500 one, I would change the pen to a TWSBI ECO for 35 dollars each. I Haven't tested any of the more expensive offerings like an Pilot Vanishing point, but I guess that would be kind of cool too, but that would drive up the cost by 150 dollars. EDIT: I just realized the Metropolitan is more like 20 dollars nowadays, I guess a replacement for it would be their Kakuno, which is at 12.50. But it's a plastic body, instead of a metal one, but its performance is any better than the Preppy is debatable, so, just stick with that instead.

Ok, so while I LOVE my safari, I'm confused how you put together a $1500 edc and chose a $30 pen. If you've got $1500 for an edc get a Pilot vanishing point, or at least a Lamy Al-star maybe... although as much as I love fountain pens, I feel like for edc, a fountain pen is good for a second pen but not first...surprised you didn't get some sorta Titanium bolt action with a space pen refill.

In my experience, especially travelling for a living (airline job), apart from needing to cut some fruit from time to time, I've found myself missing a pair of scissors for more often than I've ever longed for a knife.
