I really like the mag holder!

Never knew how much I needed a flashlight until I started carrying the olight s mini. Thanks for the recommendation.

Don, I always put a crisp $20 bill in my magpul phone case between the case and phone. Has saved my butt a couple of times!

This is one of the most inspiring EDC carries that I have ever seen. I love the leather work. It's exquisite. Thanks for sharing.

Am I the only person who carries a 48 pack of condoms EDC?

I've said forever that if I make an edc vid it will include showing where and how each item is carried on the body. It's an important step that I feel is left out of almost every edc vid I watch so good on you for showing some of that at the beginning!

Just found this yesterday!!! Already ordered wallet with money clip, pen,key bar and Jackson leather works for my Ruger P89. Great prep per videos!!!!

Sootch, I also carry a handkerchief or bandana. I find that it's handy for wiping of my gun, knife, sweat from my face, etc. It's just one of those things all my life I have carried. I also carry my Walther PPS M2 or Ruger LC9s, benchmade Torrent, keys, money clip, 5.11 card holder, Preon Flashlight, and an ink pen (usually the space pen that writes anywhere), along with a write in the rain notepad. Oh and an iPhone 6s with a case that has an extremely bright led rechargeable light in it called the Nebo Case Brite.

wow it's clear you put a lot of work into editing! thanks for the effort Don!

That pocket knife story makes a great point! Love your vids! Thanks!

you need a pocket clip on your lighter and phone

I'd lose my damn mind if I had to walk around with that much shit in my pocket lol

Damn,it's time for a purse.

Sootch , you forgot the suspenders to hold that rig up!! Lol.. I really love the watch, I to enjoy a quality timepiece. My dad is a great holster maker! He's made me several from exotic leather that I cherish.

Love Love Love Love how u do your edc videos show exactly what and why u have it and where or how u carry it that's clear and concise

Excellent review. These are some really cool products and suggestions. Btw, I have the exact same style Jackson ostrich leg holster for my Seecamp and feel the same way about mine as you do - love it. Thanks for all your videos, they're great. Keep up the good work.

Another informative video, Sootch. I gravitate to the G26 in the colder months too with the +2 pierce grip and an extra 10rd mag.

I wish I could have all that in my EDC you guys are so lucky here in the uk 6 of those items can get you arrested if you have them in your pocket, I want to move to the us lol

Nice. EDC. Good tips and I like your explanation of each item. Thanks

Sootch00 Thanks for your posts. I have been facing a family death and your channels are like comfort food. GOD BLESS Spaceman Moe.

I honestly don't think not carrying a multi tool is a choice. People are just born that way. 😎

For phones, I always attach a "Nite Ize Innovation HipClip" to the back of the case I'm using. I've done this for every phone I've owned the last few years and works great. It adds a pocket clip to your phone and keeps it at the top of your pocket, instead of digging into your pockets. The adhesive is very strong and I've never had one come loose.

Two is one, love the deep cover backup.

You should wrap hemp wick around your lighter, it makes your flame last a lot longer and you can use it as cordage.

Watches come in handy to keep track of time, got it :) LOVE AN EDC VIDEO!!! Switch the Glock with an XDM, ditch the back-up gun, add a multi-tool and you've got MY EDC! Thanks for being prepared Sootch.

Just when I thought I got over my EDC obsession years ago, here I am back again watching videos and making wishlists while calculating how much Im about to spend in the next month.

Great explanation about the purpose of EDC. Everyone should consider this.

My current EDC loadout. 1. Samsung Note5. 2. Wallet . 3. Keys (Standard key ring) 4. Spyderco Delica 4. 5. Bersa BP9cc 8+1. 5.5 Alien gear cloak tuck leather and kydex holster IWB. 6. Bersa BP9cc factory mag 8rnds( spare mag in pocket) 7. Streamlight Protac 2AAA. 8. Pilot G2 limited series pen. 9. Chapstick ( must have living in the desert) 10. Eye drops (must have living in the desert) 11. 32 oz of filtered water. 12. TechnoMarine analog diving watch. Great video sootch00! Keep more of the CZ content coming! :)

really appreciate this approach to edc. Quite a bit of stuff, but i like the leather pocket holsters, and the leather gun belt vs the kydex/woven canvas/nylon belts. a little more subtle and appropriate for a business setting.

my edc closely resembles yours minus the tactical pen. in addition though I carry a little edc tin (an old altoids tin) filled with shtf items like emergency cash, contacts, extra flashlight battery, extra mini lighter, bayer asprin, needle/thread, fishhooks, ranger bands, char cloth, tin foil, etc, etc. You'd be amazed what can fit into a tiny little tin

Those pocket holsters look super nice

A good, sensible loadout. Maybe one day I'll get there! My workday EDC is: Big Skinny bifold wallet M&P Bodyguard in a Remora pocket holster Keys on a two-piece keyring (car/bike keys on one end, house & other keys on the other end) Old Timer penknife Streamlight Microstream penlight. (Uses a single AAA cell.) Cell phone in a holster on my belt. Better Belt leather gunbelt Seiko self-winding wristwatch On weekends when I don't have to tuck in my shirt, I swap the Bodygaurd for an M&P Shield in an ETW holster and a Tinker model Swiss Army Knife replaces the Old Timer. That little mag carrier you've got looks great. I think I need to get one or two. Thanks!

Great video!!!!!!!!! Awesome very detailed and makes perfect sense

Good job, Sir! Keep up the awesome videos! I am a Brazilian Army major who is a fan of your videos. thank you, Sir!

My EDC is fairly simple: wallet, Squirt multitool, keys and P38; Sharpie and Streamlight Stylus Pro; Folts Spew; and a box of matches. This has been pretty good for me over the months I've carried it. There are a couple of things I'd like to add. There is a Boy Scout Ferro rod, in particular, that I'd like to get. And there are some smaller flashlights I may want to switch to.

Great tips ! Thx for the video . Love the wallet and understand the cash thing .

I've been using an Ulticlip on my Bladetech 9 Shield holster. They make a belt clip for that leather holster you are displaying which would be much more secure and should just slip into the leather slot.

I carry a leatherman surge and in the holster that came with it are three elastic pouches one inside the holster behind the leatherman where i keep 20-40$ for emergencies those have saved my butt many times and on one side of the holster i keep a small 100lumen flash light and on the other side i keep a basic pen i do find i use my leatherman very very often in my day im tryjng to find the right concealed carry and the right belt that can handle the weight wile running when the need arises

Hi Sootch, always enjoy the vids. Was wondering if you could do a traveling/vacation edc especially when flying. Thanks!

Reminds me... I need to do my end of year EDC video.. lol 😁 Same here with the multi tools, I generally don't use them, so I don't carry em. Did in the past though, but a bulky multi tool gets annoying quick if you don't use it much.

I'd love to see another video of what's in your range bag

Right on, Aaron over on Gideon Tactical got me interested in that Vanquest wallet...

Benchmade Griptilian with gray G10, Flipside wallet, Casio G-Shock, Klarus XT11s, Galaxy S6 in a Otter box case. Nice vid Sootch!

Hey Sootch, have you seen the "LighterBro Stealth"? It just popped up on one of my feeds and since you always carry a Bic lighter it might be something useful for you. They're on sale at The Awesomer Shop right now.

Ok so I just realized this is sootch....great vids as always

Hi, love your videos, especially your EDC vids.!

great vids sootch, keep it up.

Thanks for showing how you carry as well as what.

Oh I like that magnet for the car key. I have a Keybar too but keep my car key on a separate keychain. I'll have to pick up those magnets though, I like that idea. Thanks for the video sootch.

I have the same Ruger LCP, I carry it a lot. I usually do not like to go below the .380 acp caliber for self defense, but that is just my personal preference.

Dang I really loved my Magpul case on my last iPhone but it still hasn't come out for the 7.

Multiple pens (including a tactical pen), keys, RFID blocking slim wallet (and second slim wallet for non sensitive cards), credit card tool, UltraFire flashlight, tactical knife, smartphone, occasionally a USB thumbdrive, and depending on whether I'm at work or not, leatherman multitool and Beretta .32 handgun.

how do you sit down? must be uncomfortable

Pop a $20.00 in between your phone and phone case. Sort of a forgetful emergency thing.

Yet another great video. You look like Clark Griswald at the very end. lol

Living in California I work in a brick building. Im working on conceal carry and I'm just barely building my edc. I carry everyday though my Paracord bracelet with safety whistle and compass. It's three feet of Paracord. I particularly like the Whistler because if building collapsed, I have a whistle if I'm trapped. Better than screaming and losing my voice. I carry it everywhere and I sleep with it too. Very lightweight and easy to carry

Please get a video together showcasing your different watches and why you wear the one or the other. As a watch guy, I'd really appreciate that. Cheers!

I agree about not carrying the multi-tool because they can be heavy and take up too much room in your pocket. However, I own a bunch of multi-tools and the one I have used the most over the years is the smallest. That is the Gerber Dime. It is tiny and cheap but has a bunch of functions. For those that don't want to carry heavy tools like myself, give the Gerber Dime a try. It is super small and you don't even notice you are carrying it. Second recommendation, for lights get the Surefire Sidekick. It attaches to your keys so you will never forget it. Those two items you wont regret buying.

Sootch... love your videos. I'm curious what do you do for work? Don't ever recall hearing you mention it?

Sooch, i am with you on the multi tool, just Never find the need for it, carried them for a while and every time i really needed a tool, i had a real one accessible so i just couldn't justify the weight. Sorry nuthin....

I've been carrying a Kershaw Manifold, MTech USA Xtreme MX-8035, an AQV Multi Tool, Szco Sap Gloves (When driving or out and about they are worn.), an AQV LED 1000 lumen flashlight, a Beretta PX4 storm full size is carried when I can or at least in the car when I can't. I am also running a LCP2 all the time as a backup. And of course, wallet, cellphone, keys.

Thanks for the update. I carry a Glock 43 with streamlight tlr6 in a Yetitac AIWB, spyderco delica4, leatherman squirt ps4, olight s15r, iPhone, timex ironman watch, carmex, bandanna, wallet, Kore trakline belt. Every day.

Pocket hoarder!!! Haha! Great vid Sootch. Two thumbs waaay up.

No boot knife? I find it handy to have a small one around ether in one of my boots or on the back of my belt.

my edc is a taurus pt 840, extra mag, wallet, phone, keys, bianchi leather holster, rural king farmall belt, and tactical push daggers in SOB.

still rocking the ZT0909? I have just got my hands on one that is as new, never sharpened its an awesome blade for sure.

I see a lot of KZfaq guys showing their EDC knives that r kinda expensive. I've carried buck knives my whole life. I like their products and their company values. what do you think of their quality in comparison to these popular "prepper or tactical" knives?

Glock 43 IWB strongarm Kydex, Benchmade 810 Contego, LED Lenser F1R, Leatherman Style on the keychain, Iphone 6, Wallet. I highly recommend a keychain multi-tool of some sort. A lot of utility for next to no weight. Nutnfancy got me into multi tools.

I got LCP gen2 , benchmade afo2 tanto, kershaw leek , along with typical stuff wallet and 6S+ w otterbox , keep things simple but stuff isn't as slim so harder get more and don't want cause interference in access

I carry the s10r as my work flashlight since I can clip it to my hat if for some reason I'm working in a room with no lights(as an electrical apprentice it happens).

A flashlight currently testing the olight i3t but have many a knife depends on what I like in my collection that day. A ruger lcp in either pocket or iwb with 2 spare mags holding Hornady critical defense. A wallet keys cell phone a Keychain pepper spray and gerber shard a handkerchief and of course a watch and pens I. Always have in the car or somewhere near by

I also carry in addition to your EDC a leatherman juice s2, a small trauma kit with tourniquet (if you carry something to introduce trauma you will highly likely need something to stop it).

Thanks for giving me some direction on EDC.

That's a lot of shtuff sootch. :) but if it's what you need. I got my gun, mag, wallet, knife, sometimes pen light, pen and phone. Everything else goes in my go pack.

So what are your thoughts on EDC for a guy who cannot use the tactical EDC products that all over the market? I spend most of my time in a work environment where tactical will not mesh. Also what about EDC for a guy in a suite daily?

Sootch - Another great video. wondering if you had EDC ideas for my wife? You always have the best products/ideas. Thanks!

I try to purchase the best gear I possibly can, my edc usually consists of a Knife, Flashlight, Watch, Wallet, Keys, and my phone. When I'm at work, I carry all the same items in my pockets but I also have my backpack with some other items in it because I'm in a car all night.

Sootch why no medical gear ( IFAKs are light) and no less than lethal option? If you have a way to poke holes you might want something to patch them and a less than lethal option is always a good tool for the times where lethal force is not justified but a force multipler is handy.

If it weren't for the fact I carry as much stuff as you, I would say you carry to much. LOL! But you never know when you're going to need that one little extra thing that people gave you a hard time for carrying. For instance, I carry a big Swiss Army Knife. Every time someone's glasses are falling apart, they come to me and ask to borrow my little screwdriver that fits in the cork screw. Who gets the last laugh then? They don't need to know about the two guns or the three knives besides the SA Knife. I like your channel and I like your time and ideas. Merry Christmas my Friend!!

For the majority of 2016 it has been: iPhone 5S w/ Magpul case, keys w/ Leatherman PS4 Squirt multitool as a keychain, Flowfold wallet (check it out), Glock 42 in a Don Hume IWB holster, spare mag, Benchmade Emissary, and a Thrunite Ti3. But like Sootch, I swap out guns and knives occasionally depending on task or dress.

+sootch00... I bought a Maxpedition Fatboy based on your review and love it. It IS my EDC (or man purse as my wife calls it) and goes everywhere with me, packed to the gills at 10 lbs! I don't mind the weight and it functions as a 24 hr bag as well!

I almost passed out seeing the watch price

Mine varies due to work restrictions/regulations. So my weekday carry is different than my weekend carry. The common items for both are; a mini Leatherman, a CKRT Ripple, Streamlight Stylus Pro & a Streamlight Stylus (yes 2 lights!) a regular pen (sorry don't have a "tactical" pen), Android cell phone & keys Then there are specific items I carry during the week and other items I carry on the weekend.

Man who EDCs pen May not need EDC multitool Hehe Great video sootch

sootch... have u considered the Leatherman rev it has a pocket clip. I carry it everyday along with my beretta 92 type m extra mag zt chris rexford s1 baton and rick hinderer tac pen... just a thought. I also have a seacamp 32. that u have inspired me to add to the edc lineup.

My EDC: Sccy 9mm, extra mag, in kydex. Car keys on a double ended detachable paracord key holder, Kershaw / Emerson, wallet from trayvex, streamlight micro, leatherman skelatool, phone, and a cheap belt. I know I'm planning on upgrading the belt, got a bull belt from wright leather that's caught my eye..... Can't wait till it starts cooling down here in South Carolina, the skeeters are murder right now.....

I've had my timex expedition since 2002 and I really like it

simple and efficient. I dig it

What was your magnetic break away key ring? I have found a few but they aren't the neodymium magnets. I carry my Glock 27 in .40 and a good knife. I keep at least one multi tool and a decent fixed blade knife in my truck along with a good 1500 lumen flash light. I carry a small messenger bag with me all the time so I keep all kinds of cables (I work in IT) as well as super glue, a knife sharpner, extra phone chargers, a lighter and a small flash light.

I have to vary my EDC a bit due to legalities of where I live and work. I live in VA but work in DC so that affects what I can carry. But here are my lists: ALWAYS on my person: keys, wallet, iphone 5S in magpul case, writing pen, insulin pen, blood sugar test kit (I'm type 1 diabetic), a 4Sevens Preon 1 flashlight that is clipped to my keychain. USUALLY on my person in addition to the above: Leatherman S2 Juice multitool, Surefire 6PX Tactical flashlight, folding knife that is either a Spyderco Endura 4 FRN or a SOG Mini Aegis EDC for when I'm in VA in addition to all of above: Gen4 Glock 19 loaded with 124 gr +P Gold Dot JHPs in a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster, spare 15 round mag in a Crossbreed IWB mag carrier, and a Crossbreed Gun Belt.

Love the Hazard4 watch!

what about just basic first aid kits for EDC. I have found myself in many situations where I wish I had just a simple antibiotic and gauze pad and band aids

I have a question, so in Michigan the law length for carrying a blade is 3 inches, do you need a cpl liscense to carry one that is within the legal limit?

Belt, belt clip for keys, keys, Leatherman Wave, holster for Leatherman, Swiss Army knife, Bic lighter, phone, headset for phone, Buck 110 Folding Hunter, Bersa Thunder 380, holster for Bersa, wallet, additional items as needed, usually Vicegrips or fencing pliers.

people love this stuff.

I always find myself spending money I can't afford to spend after your EDC videos.

I love how I catch hell in my video for carrying two guns. Great video.

Great loadou, Sootch! Just missing a multitool, like a Wave or a Charge.

Check out the skeletool cx. It's all but replaced my pocket knife collection. Feels like a pocket knife in the pocket with drivers and pliers 😁

use the same ankle holster for my 938 to free up alot of space up top.
