Your edc really is very sensible. Seem prepared but nothing over the top.

Now that I’m I’m my 50’s I’ve added Tums to my EDC.

My edc: - Hi point C-Money with extendo clipazine - Track phone - Oil spill butterfly knife - Keys to my 93 Civic with enough bling to start a country - Money clip with enough cash for a colt .45 if I get the thirst - 12 rubbers - Golf pencil - Watch i got from the last fool who got lost in my hood.

i bought a daltec force belt based off your recommendation a while back, easily the best belt i've ever bought

Love the edc! Your channel since I started following roughly 2 years ago has gotten me way into my edc! Thanks for the great vids and reviews

2018 EDC in the UK: A good leather belt I’ve had for 5 years now, Mobile phone, Casio G-Shock classic (GR-8900A-1ER) watch (solar powered, no battery and keeps great time), Access Denied (RFID blocking) wallet which includes all relevant licenses, debit cards, cash and an ICE card with contact details, Olight S1 mini baton flashlight (sometimes swapped out for an ATactical A1 flashlight), Usually two lighters, Keychain which includes an inexpensive flathead and cross head keychain attachment, Glasses (so I can see), A USB memory stick, Chapstick for the cold windy weather on the coast here, Sentimental item: my signet ring from my family is on every day not useful but it’s there every day. Then, only when doing work around the house, I will carry a multi-tool, When I go out anywhere I try to take a sharpie pen with me as well. I don’t carry a tourniquet on my person, but there is always one in the building either at home or in my bag when I’m at work or on the go. I agree with you Sootch, it feels lovely unloading everything at the end of the day onto the side and feeling lighter! Great video keep it up!!

Besides my edc firearm, I generally add a Surefire rechargeable flashlight, a Benchmade folding knife and a Swiss Army (Victorinox) Tinker model, cell phone in a Maxpedition case with an ink pen and a spare Mophie battery pack for my phone. I usually include a DSM banner (Don't Shoot Me) in a pouch clipped to my belt as well to aid in being recognized as a good guy by LEO's should the need arise. Of course I also have a couple spare magazines for my pistol. I can carry all this because I use a heavy duty laminated belt, usually a Gould &Goodrich. Without it, I would be lost. I have found that a good belt is absolutely essential to comfort and avoiding back pain as well as not having to hitch up your belt every few minutes. Love your videos, Don. You're my favorite KZfaqr. I watch your stuff even if I could care less about the topic because you make it so entertaining.

Great vid, love ZT knives too. My favorite is the 0804CF, and leatherman surge when I'm not at work. If I'm at work I usually carry the 0550 and surge.

I’ve used Blackhawk belts for the last 6 years and love them.

You’re right about those pens. Those pilot pens are amazing.

Thanks for showing your EDC and giving me some ideas for my EDC too. Always long live the republic Sootch00

I've got a Stream Light Protac 1 with a CR123 battery that been in my pockets or floating around in bags every day for about 4 years and it it's still going strong. I dig it.

Another great video! Thanks for for time in making it! I carry an Fenix e15 flashlight. You're right too that you find yourself using the flashlight alot! Use the same pen as you. Wallet is a no name brand with blocking. Knife is a Swiss army Hunter with locking blade. It works for first responders since the gutting blade works well for cutting seatbelts. Depending upon the what, you might find the Leatherman raptor on me too. Glock 43, if pistol needed (love to know where you got that extended magazine). Have a great year!

As always your EDC is very sound. I too carry similar items: I carry a full size Sig P220 in a IWB Galco kydex, I also use a kydex (Blackhawk) double mag carrier. I use a Galco instructor’s reinforced belt. My ammo is Remington Golden Saber hollow points .45. I carry two sets of keys, a CRKT 3 inch folder(RIPPLE™ ALUMINUM Designed by Ken Onion), Swiss Army knife, and a Super Leatherman multi tool. My watch is a Seiko divers watch which is an automatic (it is a self winding watch) I’ve had this watch since 1987 and has been tough as nails. The Otterbox case is great for my phone, however, I do want to get a Magpul case when I purchase my next iPhone. The pen is a BP Zebra F-301; this is a good, thin and sturdy pen. As for a light source, I love this Fenix E12. Lastly, no matter what the weather I always have my Oakley sunglasses/eye protection. Again, this is my EDC; I NEVER leave home without these items on my person. 

I’ve been carrying the OLight S1 baton mini for almost a month now both as edc and as a small back up flashlight for myself for patrol while working as a Police Officer. I also edc my HK USP 45c, crossbreed supertuck with crossbreed belt, spyderco para 3 my cell phone keys and wallet

The battery is what sold me on that olight bought one right after your review.

Sensible Prepper: I really enjoy your videos. Prepping and the idea of being prepared for the unexpected all the time sometimes seems to strike the wrong idea in people like we’re radical fanatics who are waiting for the world to end. That’s not it at all. We just realize that things happen sometimes, emergency situations are never expected but do occur whether they’re manmade or natural. Personally, I like to carry the following 5 items with me on my person at all times: A bandana (use as a breathing filter if there’s smoke, filter water, tie up wounds, etc). A simple but bright and efficient flashlight, preferably one with a pocket clip. A pocket knife with a smooth and serrated blade. Preferably one with a window smasher button on the bottom end, and a seatbelt blade hook for quick release if you’re in an accident Cordage, usually in the form of a paracord bracelet And a zippo lighter, for obvious reasons. Those 5 items, I feel are the essentials to get you through a lot of predicaments

I EDC the Thurnite Archer 1A V2 , ZT 0770CF, SWPENMP2BK M and P 2nd Generation Tactical Pen.. And then Phone, Keys, wallet Great EDC brother! Keep up the great content

Keep up the good work, liked the vid. My EDC: Browning Government .380, spare mag, Cold Steel Kubon, Spyderco Police folder, small IFAK, Leatherman Super Tool. In the truck: CZ Evo 3 Skorpion 9mm, six 30 round mags, two large high lumen patrol type flash lights, & a pair of hand cuffs. Of course, a smart cell phone.

G43 in Desantis mini scabbard, Spyderco Para 3, Olight Mini, Leatherman Juice S2 on keys, space pen, wallet, & phone. Great vid! Thanks!

Could you make a video on what you would carry as edc when you are out of the country? Many things has to be considered as some other countries don't allow firearms and big folders.

you have very nice things. I dig that clear mag.

EDC update for 2019 Sootch!! Looking forward to it! 👍

I walk everyday in the city and I carry my Glock 42/380 w/2 extra clips, Kershaw spring assist knife w/clip, iPhone, small wallet, and water. Thinking of getting a Glock like yours! I’m in Atlanta grew up in SC. Thanks sir!

As a non-smoker, a lighter for tactical/survival putposes is something I've never thought about. I need to grab one. Thanks sootch!

It's nice to see a nice simple EDC that isn't loaded with guns and knives. I watched a few where they had 4 guns and 8 knives. It was crazy and made no sense.

Great informative video. Keep them coming sootch! I learn a great deal from your videos.

M-F in my office at work in my "lunch bag": cell, Busnell Flash light, S&W folder, Aitor Utility knife, small pack of band-aids, thick Sharpie, Gel pen, small notebook, wallet , small roll of paracord, and a small tube of superglue. I smoke so I always have some kind of fire, my LCP 2 with one extra mag, cigs, at least 2 cigars, and my Xikar cutter. I love the comfort of Propper pants. They have pockets everywhere you need them. Especially the one at 6 o'clock. If not at work, one sidearm (varies on what time of year and wear I am going and how I have to dress) flashlight, knife, wallet, and of course cigs, cigars, and cutter and fire.

Great video !! Always look forward to them Thanks for all your videos

Nice Kit, I usually throw a bandanna in my back pocket, or side cargo pocket. Keep up the Great Work

Good thoughtful video. Agree with you on most selection except Olight. Bought 3 last year all failed in a month.

I had been really wanting to get a Daltech Force bull leather belt after watching your videos. Then one day, I found a near brand new one at a thrift store for $7!

Pistol: custom Glock 19 with spare magazine +2 basepads and Surefire XC1b Holster: T Rex Arms appendix sidecar Fighting knife:CRKT minimalist Neck knife:CRKT minimalist Utility knife: Benchmade Griptilian Light: Streamlight Stylus Pro Phone: IPhone 8(probably my most important EDC item) Keys: Mazda 3 FOB Wallet: Fox wallet Belt: Ares Aegis enhanced belt(good belt pulls my entire system together) Thanks for the video Sootch

good stuff, Don. i REALLY like that first watch. i like the other one, too, but that first one is awesome! here's my current edc: glock 19 gen 4 in a bravo concealment kydex holster extra mags in a bravo concealment mag holster g-shock master of g solar watch zero tolerance 0350ts leatherman wingman thrunite t10t daltech force bullbelt or the 5.11 operator belt

Thank you for another great video! I like your EDC setup. I don't know if I trust a magnetic coupler for my keys tho... Have you used the Amflo air hose type pull apart key rings? I have used them for years....never had one fail.

Excellent video sootch. I carry a G27 in a We The People kydex holster. I carry my cell phone in a Magpul case. My wallet is tap rack kydex wallet. I carry a spyderco knife with a res q me tool attached to my car keys. Have always been a fan of your channel and enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work!

You should check out the Coast Hp3r light, it's one of my favorite lights. For a lighter you should try and get a-hold of a djeep,they are super tough. Otherwise great setup.

Current EDC Glock 19 Gen 5 SOG Flashback Olight S10R Hellbent Combat Wallet Bull leather belt Carbon fiber Key bar Griffin Pocket tool Keychain lighter iPhone 6 Chapstick Yes Sootch has greatly influenced me!

Sensible presentation. If I may suggest for your "thin" summer carry, an S&W 9 Shield and upgrading the magazines from 7 and 8 rounds to either 8 and 9 rounds or even 9 and 10 rounds with a Mag Guts magazine spring kit. The Shield can then carry a flat base mag with 8 rounds (9 in the handgun) and have a back-up of 10 round mag in your pocket or belt mag holster or add it to the pistol for a total of a nice flat gun with 11 rounds contained therein. I have a 9 Shield with a Green CTC Laser sight which tucks nicely into a Kydex Blade Tech with an Ulticlip.

Another great video! I was surprised at how many of our EDC items are the same. You must have good taste! Haha

Very well thought out, Sir. My EDC: Spyderco "Delica", iPhone 4S, keys w/ Victorinox "Manager" on them, Maxpedition wallet, Chapstick, & Pelican 1910 flashlight. My watch is a titanium Casio "Pathfinder". I sometimes substitute my Leatherman "Skeletool" for the Delica. If I'm carrying, it's my Taurus TCP .380 in a pocket holster. I probably should get an extra mag.

cool video thanks Don! My EDC is rather two-faced because I live in VA but work in DC which has very strict laws that often limit what I can carry. But on weekends in VA I carry the following: Gen4 Glock 19 loaded with Speer 124gr +P Gold Dot hollow points in a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster, a spare 15 round mag in Crossbreed IWB mag pouch, a Crossbreed Gun Belt, a Spyderco Endura 4 FFG knife, a Leatherman S2 Juice multitool, a Surefire 6PX Tactical or 4Sevens AA2 flashlight (usually the Surefire though), a 4sevens Preon 1 mini flashlight on my keychain, keys, iphone with magpul case, wallet, a pen to write with, my insulin pen, and blood sugar test kit (I'm type 1 diabetic). when I go to work I can't carry the gun, knife, or full size flashlights, but I usually will still have the keychain light and the Leatherman S2 as long as I'm not going to any government buildings. Not a perfect system but it seems to get the job done.

I like either the Benchmade 940 or Infidel, Glock 29, 43, or 19. And the Casio Protrek watch is awesome for outdoors with the built in compass.

Clean simple direct an to the point as it should be. Although I did hollow out my belt an put a heave duty reinforced zip strip in it. It is 1/4 in wide an 36 in long plus the usual pick set/ spear key to the truck an stuff. Like you'r videos thank's.

Used to EDC a Glock 21, that didn't last long. Got a cheap Bersa Thunder 380, but there is a slight trust issue, so now a 19. other than that I carry a windmill lighter, CRKT Williams tac pen, Brous Division(I love a full size knife), sometimes a fox karambit, MecArmy SGN3 Flashlight sometimes a streamlight microstream, or a fenix LD 02, a Leatherman wingman when I carry a multitool. I also have the same magpul phone case on my apple 5 sc or se whatever it is.and a seiko skn or my seiko quartz chrono, but I am leaning towards mechanical watches nowadays and an Ariat leather billfold that I punched a hole in and put a chain on with a back-up "peanut" brass lighter.

I like those folding key things. Been meaning to check them out

Great video one suggestion for a future video would be showing where you put all this stuff in, which pocket and etc.

love my Daltec Force belt. Thanks for the reviews.

Nice! Great gear you have.

Mr. Sootch. Great array for your EDC. However, just like a Bic lighter for fire, I am surprised that in your array, a small inconsequential, until you really need it, good "pin-type" compass wasn't included. Thank you Sir, for your hard work in producing these types of videos. Oscar

I've watched so many of your Sootch00 gun reviews I immeadeyly noticed you've got two channels.

Thanks for the video! Since you asked ... I carry a S&W made Walther PPK, stainless, appendix carry. I have, and love, a Gen 4 Glock 26, but I have become concerned about 9 mm over-penetration as a result of watching Paul Harrell's channel. I use Hornady Critical Defense .380 ammo in it. Harrell got great expansion results with .380 HCD on his meat target. I carry a Benchmade SOCP fixed blade knife weak-hand at the 11 o'clock position IWB. I carry a small, Walmart bushnell 150 lum tactical torch and a zippo lighter. I use a slimline leather wallet. I don't know who made it. I carry a minimal key chain. It has a Leatherman PS4 Squirt attached. I carry a handcuff key in addition to my house and car keys. I carry a Zebra all steel ballpoint pen and a thin Moleskine notebook with detachable pages, maybe 30 pages. It's about the size of a 3x 5 card. I carry a Gerber Mini-Covert Spring-assisted knife, handkerchief, small Altoids tin, and an iPhone SE.

Thanks Sootch! I’ve bought several things based upon your recommendations and have not been disappointed. I just have one question. We all know that the part of the pistol to print first is the bottom of the grip. So why add an extended base plate to our sub compact pistol. Why not just carry a compact pistol with a longer barrel?

Dude you been rockin the same ole heavy edc carry for years!!!!!!! Cool brotha!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, your videos have helped me with my edc, and for my bug out bags

Gun - Shield or PPS M2 Holster - Bravo concealment DOS Extra mag in a BC mag holster Knife - mini-griptillian or delica4 Multi tool - Leatherman wingman Phone - Galaxy S7 in Magpul case Light - Olight S1 baton And just a Fossil watch & wallet Stuff like pens, lighters, ifak etc. I carry in my 5.11 Moab 6 that I also have with me.

Excellent EDC! Thanks for sharing.

As always a bunch of good ideas. But you did a video with some tactical hiking boots. What was the brand of those? Or just a good pair you would recommend in general.

Big fan of the leatherman juice. Very compact and has scissors 👍

My EDC at work is: Glock 19 and two spare mags, Emerson Commander, Spyderco Cara Cara 2, phone, keys, wallet, Casio G-Shock, Springfield compact XD 9 with one spare mag. Plus baton, Streamlight, taser, ex... Off duty is the Springfield or a Ruger LCP II, Spyderco or Emerson lock blade, Olight S1 Baton Mini, Casio G-Shock and extra mag for either gun, wallet.

i am a small frames man so i can't really carry a lot. i typically have a pocket knife (cheap auto store brand) an old leatherman pst II tool i got in the 90's, G-shock watch, keys, wallet, and i switch between an XDs in .45 acp or S&W model 32.

Sadly I live in Germany where I am not allowed to carry a firearm or one hand folders. So I carry on the daily basis: -Smartphone -Keys in a "carbocage" -Leatherman "Juice S2" (Multitool) -Fenix "PD31" (Flashlight) -Zebra F-701 (Pen) -Manly Comrade (slipjoint folder) or -Eskabar by Kabar and ESEE (Smal fixed blade) -G-Shock G2900 (wristwatch) for work or -Suunto Core (wristwatch) after work This is basically all I need and sometimes even 2 much. Of course depending on activity and weather I have sunglasses, car keys, bike lock keys and such stuff with me.

Love your videos. Cool EDC

Great Vid as always..Who doesnt love a Sootch EDC update..Im rocking same piece, same light (go with the MX1 striker when needed) and same Knife..Alot in common..Only thing I need is that Rammi...I couldnt find one, so I got a Sig 938 as my hammer fire CCW..But I would love to add that CZ to my rotation..A Double Action trigger pull with no saftey is in my mind the safest way to carry while still being able to draw and fire quickly...Once again so for ur Loss (Ur friend Marshall), seemed like a good guy...Keep up the good work and God Bless Brother..

My EDC hasnt really changed in a long time partially due to lack of funds and partially due to having no issues with what i carry. First off i'm Canadian so unfortunately i cant carry a firearm but i have a cold steel roach belly on my hip, a gerber dime and a thrunite T01 as well as a bandana but i also have a go bag in my trunk at all times

Alway like seeing a edc video and always enjoy your videos 👍🏼🇺🇸

Hey Sootch. Great EDC setup. One suggestion though. You should always carry a Tourniquet as part of your EDC. If you have the means to poke holes, you should also have the means to plug 'em. I carry a SOF-T wide tourniquet that I bought from Skinny Medic and I highly recommend it.

My EDC starts with either my Walther PPS M2 (85% of the time since Florida is hot) or my new S&W M&P M2.0 Compact (loving it, Apex trigger is otw), either my Zero Tolerance Tiger Stripe or my Spiderco Enduro, pen flashlight as well as the same G2 Pilot pen lol, I carry a lighter as well for my herbage, standard D-clip key ring since I was 10 y/o (15 years now), just ordered me a new watch from MVMT Watches so waiting on that, and a standard tri-fold leather wallet.

S&W 686+, benchmade 940, snap on pen light, leatherman wave with home made bit kit, swiss gear minimalist wallet and a relentless tactical gun belt (excellent belt highly recommended)

Smith and Wesson 642 with a speed loader. Both with hornady critical defense. Leatherman rev, cree mini torch, Kershaw cqc11k, leather wallet. In summer I switch the 642 for a keltec p3at with an extra mag and the cqc11k swaps for a Kershaw ososweet.

You have everything else, so probably don’t need on, but it doesn’t take much room, you should check out the lighter bro for bic lighters. Has a sharp knife blade, small screwdriver, and scissors. Can also get a pocket clip for it. I use mine literally everyday for the past few years. Also has a bottle opener on it. Best multi tool I ever spent money on.....

Yes! The Pilot G2 has been my go to pen since the Corps! Which one of those items makes the waffles, Sootch? How ya gonna hit the fan w/no waffles? J/k man I love that little flashlight and I totally dig all leather holsters, too. Great setup and very interesting vid!

I love the Daltech bull belt, it’s a beast! I carry OWB with a Glock 29 and Galco leather holster and it’s almost un-noticeable.

Thanks for this, your choices make a lot of sense. I'm currently using the Maxpedition Micro Wallet, and I have the Spartan on the way. I love the Magpul phone cases. I have dropped my Galaxy S7 numerous times without a scratch. I have Streamlight Nano Light on my key ring, sometimes I will carry the Stylus. My current carry gun is a S&W 637 Airweight in a DeSantis Inside Heat. I'm currently looking for a good OWB holster for it. I am debating on picking up a Glock 26 (I have a G17), or a single stack option like a Kahr CW9, or CM9. I have a few blades to pick from. I love my SOG Aegis Mini. Lately I have been neck carrying an Esee Izula. Most of the time I go with a low cost blade like the Ka Bar Dozier, or Gerber Mini Paraframe.

Cool that you like the Pilot G2. I us we them all the time at work all the time and keep them as my go to pen for writing. I'm still thinking of a good "Tactical" pen to have a backup weapon, but for EDC...love the Pilots. Thumbs up.:-)

That's the same ZT i have! Just got it for my birthday last month I love it!

First, as usual a good vid. My Glock 26/Gen3, with 10 rd mag, and yes, a spare G17 mag, with 17 rds,(you can NEVER NEVER HAVE ENOUGH AMMO, NEVER!). A Emerson CQ07 knife, a tac pen, and Streamlight ProTac 2LX, Lenser F1 and OLIGHT S1 baton. Oh yes, all in a fanny pack. Too much, maybe, maybe not! Watch your "6" sootch00 and keep up the good work.

Outstanding carry items. I expected nothing less.

Great content, thanks Sootch!👍🏻

great picks

I like ur 2018 EDC set up. It's roughly somewhat like mine. Thanks

Ruger LCP, knife, keys (cheap keybar knock off from Walgreens worked for 2-3 years no problem), wallet, iPhone, lighter, small off brand flashlight, ink pen, guitar picks, Apple watch or heavy duty watch with built in compass

Stream light stylus pro, i go through knives too fast to keep track of, sd9ve. Im gettin ready to order the apex trigger thanks for the review! 1-2 spare mags, keys and a zippo. P.s could you do a review of holsters for the sd9ve they are hard to find it would be greatly appreciated. Stay prepped and stay alert.

I carry a Glock 30sf in a JM Custom Kydex holster, a double mag holder and a Colt Cobra knife with a drop point blade, been carrying it for many years. I also carry the normal carry items like the keys, wallet, phone etc.

A G-SHOCK watch would be a nice addition to your EDC.

I’m only 16 so I can’t have my concealed carry permit yet, but my edc is: Benchmade mini barrage, leatherman squirt ps4, 5.11 atac plx flashlight, crkt Williams tactical pen, armitron watch, wallet, iPhone with magpul case, and 5.11 tactical belt. Btw great video as always.

Very nice thank you for showing it on you tube have a good night 🙂

Picked up a couple of those mags thanks for the video

After a lot of testing in my own ccw and seeing a ton of ballistic information I use the Underwood extreme defenders over the HST

I carry petty much the same stuff including the Olight as you plus a couple other small items but I have to wear suspenders to keep my pants up.

I didnt know I'm soo sorry for your lost. I know I'll probably never you but I do connect with certain you content creators. You and Marshall some of the few. God your and his families.

Been carrying for 10 years now. My edc glock 26 with spare glock 19 mag, wallet, phone, and keys that's it. I probably should add a small flashlight, but I like to stay lightweight.

While I love the edc update videos, I'd love to know how all of these items are carried. my main problem with my edc is not always knowing where to carry a multitude on myself comfortably.

Kore Essentials gun belt, olight, anchor wallet (steel mesh to prevent scanning), Bench-made emissary, Seiko ProSpec Diver (300m) solar powered (90 day reserve power, no batteries) diver w/5 ring NATO band & Sunnto (Finnish) compass, H&KVP9SK, TSA took my tactical pen so now I carry a Fischer Space pen SS knurled. I also like the G2 pen for personal use at home but the Fischer Space pen will write on everything at any angle and is good eye and jugular stabbing tool in solid SS.

Good stuff as always.

SensiblePrepper you should wrap your lighter in hemp wick, to conserve fuel in the lighter... I love your channel!

Sootch have u seen those new havalon knifes great addition to your shtf bug out bag..

-sheild (silencerco barrel/ plus 2 mag extension hyve industries) - blade tech holster -Spyderco delica 4 brown scales -magpul cased galaxys s6 -truck key -leather tri fold wallet - bic lighter -Right in rain mini pad and backpacking pen -gshock 3230 model or timex expidition scout

Hey sootch. Would it be possible to do a review on any of the hazard 4 bags? I'm looking at the grey version of the plan-b specifically.

love your vids sootch! LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC! god bless!
