I live in the UK. The authorities would give you 25 years for that edc! I'd love to live in a free country.

"you don't wanna carry extra things" has 3 guns

I honestly don't understand this ridiculous amount of stuff to carry every day. I have: phone, two bank cards, two keys, tiny knife. That's it, it does me just fine. I'm in the UK.

FYI for future videos - copies of keys are able to be made from pictures. You might not want to show your keys, especially pointing out which is your house key.

just can't go wrong with the G26

I guarantee everyone who EDCs puts their gear on with that music in their head.

Merry Christmas bud. Thanks for another year of great videos. Appreciate the time and effort you put in to them.

Man I love this guy. I have been watching him for about a year and a half and I just love to look at his edc

Just picked up a Shield in 9mm working on a holster system.Also picked up Olight S30II nice light.thanks for the videos.

Wait! No condom? What kinda soldier are you?

I EDC everything here with the addition of a Leatherman Rebar and a small Bic lighter kept in a pouch on my belt. I could not imagine not EDC'ing a Leatherman as it sees use every day. Great videos, and thank you.

great video as per usual. just wondering whats you favorite way to carry your extra mag for your primary gun?

It's funny how you guys are equipped like a police officer, and i am not even allowed to carry my folding knive here in Europe. Nice gear, i love the g26!

When i see that kind of videos i imagine that USA is like battlefield. And for the record i live in Greece and we EDC phone , keys ,wallet watch that's all

Hey Sootch, like your videos. What's your opinion on EDCing a smaller fixed blade knife? Like 3-5 inches, and conceal carry it. I carry a fixed blade knife and enjoy it much more than just having a folder and so much more reliable for both a tool and possible self defense other than my Glock 26.

really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. from fire arms to pocket knives you have presented a very realistic and practical purpose for the gear you review and on occasion promote(not push,big difference).God bless.have merry Christmas,to you and yours,from me and mine!

kobalt folding utility knife I use it everyday. and a multi tool

Looks Like He is Going to Fight an Army Everyday😂

when you carry your extra full size magazine for your Glock 26 do you use anything like an X-Grip adapter to "fill in" the grip and give that "full size feel"?

I carry very similar to you but always have a multi tool, at the moment have the Leatherman Surge in my back pocket next to my Wallet. Sootch, do you carry the knife more for self defense or more for utility?

No pen?

God bless

I like your style for 2016 Sootch! 👍🏻 Happy Holidays to you and your family and all the best for 2016! Thanks for the year of great reviews. You have helped me in many purchases!! lol 🎄🎉👌 Thanks again brother!

That hell bent holster looks pretty slick. I'm going to check that out. Thanks! Same with the key holder

I would hate to see a video made by a women that was on her EDC. That would be a lonnnnnng video.

Love God Love your channel. Thank you brother. G26 everday.

TY for the review. Merry Christmas I just ordered a key-bar, looking forward to organizing my keys.

the only thing I would add is a multi-tool, I use the gerber vise, in fact all my carry knives and flashlight are all gerber... I do have a question for you though, Sootch. Do you have any recommendations for a small .380 backup? I am trying to pick one out and other than being a Ruger phanboi, I have no clue where to start. I have an SR series 9E that I EDC right now (I prefer a full frame for EDC) Anyhow, I've been watching your videos on here and on full30 for a while now and have come to respect your opinion, and would really appreciate it here.

Electrical tape, way more useful that you might think.

3 guns!? what world do you live in? what's with all the knives ?

im going backpacking this summer and i was wandering if you could do a vid on you making a camping/backpacking bag and show what you chose to put in it

I've carried a key bar for a couple years now, as a former janitor I can't stress how convenient a good key management system is

No med kit?

What do you need a single, let alone 3 guns for everyday?

I always like you EDC setup, thank you for sharing your ideas.

did you consicer a neck knive? I carry one no since 3 or 4 months and I really like it. Having a fixed blade gives you extra options and I can draw it quickly even when I sitting in my car.

This is hilarious. Honestly,. What is it like to be you, and be that paranoid? For fuck sake.

I'm curious why you have your knife on the left side with the flashlight and keybar being on the right. Also, no multitool, not even a small one like a Squirt PS4?

I came back to this to look at your watch. Have you any recommendations on a self winding watch? I'm really tired of changing batteries and with my luck when the SHTF, my watch will die. A good EDC/Tactical self winding watch would be my preference but a manual wind is acceptable.

Sootch, nice video. What shoes are those at the beginning of the video? I just got rid of a G26...I'm regretting that now. The G42 is nice and all, but I miss not having access to full capacity mags.

Before I got a new phone, I had that same Magpul phone case. I loved that thing to death! Sweet video

I had major issues with my lcp so much that I got rid of it and stepped up to the glock 43. The lcp was purchased when they first came out. Would you know if they've improved. I really miss how compact the lcp was. FYI glock 43 is incredible and your reviews helped steer me to purchasing one.

Another great video Sootch! Thanks for sharing some of our Amp-3 products. Your the best!

Just curious, you may have mentioned in the past, but what is your day job? For my work my work "uniform" is a tucked in button down dress shirt and some sort of dress slacks. While I carry a knife, flashlight every day, the only CCW I could figure out would be the ankle holster, as most waist carry seems to require an untucked shirt or jacket worn full time.

I have been living in the UK now , for more than 20 yrs , and I still wake up some mornings and feel for my handgun. Damn I miss my guns , had 23 in South Africa , carried hip and ankle since the age of 16 , My EDC changed over time , but my ankle gun was always a Walther PPK 7.62 , and the hip gun I really liked among many that I carried , was my trusty Star 30M , was never a big fan of Star , but the 30 m was hefty and strong. I also liked the Browning HI-Power a lot. The law here is a bit strange , but the rule of law still works here , ..mostly, I respect this country , it is generous and its heart is in the right place. We just need a constitution like yours. Respect the USA enormously , and I would go to war with you guys anytime !! Had the privilege of the company of some great Americans during the Rhodesian bush war. Like your vids and your attitude.Keep well bud.

Ok love the choices you have here. My only addition is my stainless Gerber multi tool. And paracord bracelet and whistle. As a telephone repairman these two items help a ton. Love the videos been watching you for years. Keep up the good work Brother!

Love the Punisher logo on the Glock! Here is my question: I live in a warm weather climate and wear only cargo shorts and a shirt 360 days a year, what firearm do you recommend for me to carry? Is there something l can keep in my pocket that will not require that I also wear suspenders and an athletic cup?

Sootch you Rock!!! Best EDC video out there. Alway an education. Thanks for being there for us.

Love the Hell bent wallet. What Size did you get med or Large? Love the Channel

Thanks for the great tips, and thanks for sharing the out-takes!

I add a multi-tool and a pen to my carry. I'm currently using a Shrade pen and a SOG power duo. Of course your review of the power duo convinced me to try it, and now it's a mainstay of my carry.😄

That key bar is new to me, about to order one now. Thanks brother!

+sootch00 since its been over 6 months since your last EDC video, what's your current summer EDC? Thanks for the great content.

Do you plan on upgrading the LC9 to the LC9s ?

Great video Sootch that IWB holster is the most beautiful holster I have ever seen, kicking myself since I just bought a different one right before watching this video. In my EDC I carry a keybiner, its very similar to your keybar except it has a built in carabiner with a pry bar, and a few wrenches built into the frame. It is made of aluminum and very light but very durable and can hold up to 13 keys.

What about a knife with carbide glass breaker? Does anyone make an attachment or accessory that adds the feature?

I know this is off topic but just wondering your thoughts on the new bill in SC statehouse bill 943.

I know in greenville county, the concealed carry cant "print" how do you mitigate that?

I saw one of your older edc videos and you had a Beretta Nano 9mm...how come you no longer carry that pistol? Thanks for the video.

Few q's for ya Don. Do you still have the Zacks Bull belt? Still love it? Thanks for the update.

love your videos and both channels thanks for the inspiration sir

The keybar is great, I'll will get it for sure. Great idea! Thanks!

With the HellBent Holster wallet, how does it carry in your back pocket? I have wanted one but I don't want to be getting stabbed all day by sharp corners!

ive been watching edc videos i like how u actually show how u carry good job great video

I wear a paracord belt that I made, works great and is super strong and offers a TON of cordage when you need to scale a building or tie up a gang of bad guys. Subscribed, keep up the good work brother!

What do you need to pump that many rounds into everyday?

Merry Christmas !! Loved the EDC Chapstick !! 😊

Great channel! I have learned so much from you. Please keep up the good work.

Went to going gear to order an olight and some other odd and ends. There were two options for the light I wanted, I picked the one that was in stock. Latter that evening I got an email saying they were on back order...haven't heard anything sense.

What about EDC holster security? No one wants his weapon "snatched" while in a crowd or during a physical altercation. ANy suggestions?

Love your channel Sootch! Great edc

I edc a Leatherman Charge TTi. Very useful tool. Full of features. Use it a lot. Bench Made are great knives. Carry Contigo also. Prometheus key chain lights are super bright and small.

sootch have you tried the Neomag yet? Looks like a great solution for minimalist pocket magazine carry instead of carrying a spare mag loose in the pocket. Also, looks like the HK P30SK has fallen out of the regular rotation huh? That will probably be my next handgun purchase. Great video. Thanks for 2 great channels to watch. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and yours.

thanks for the vid you are one of my top 5 channel's I watch all the time.

Would that ankle holster hold a g29?

I carry the G26 and LCP together as well with the same spare mags. It's comforting knowing I have 41 rounds at my disposal. I home carry one of them most of the time since they are so comfortable to carry.

That key thing is really cool. I might pick up one of my own.

do you ever edc your cz p01/ pcr?

Sootch, what you really need in your EDC is a small pocket new testament.

I live in Chicago, so I can't even really carry a knife without it being a potential legal-annoyance. I regularly carry my Leatherman Wave with me, but something I don't think many people don't consider for EDC (be it budget or local ordinances) is a good boxcutter. I got a nice simple Husky boxcutter from Home Depot for work a couple years ago, and I love it because it's nice and flat and fits in my back pocket so easy and effortlessly that I can't help but carry it around even on off days. Razors are super cheap too, and sharp! Originally they would get a bit funky and rusty after a week or two, but since I got a ton of ballistol, I decided to spray the razor with it and wipe it down before I put it in, and not only does it cut better, but it doesn't rust or get anywhere near as dirty. I've been using this same blade for well over a month or two now and it still looks fairly new. Granted I'm not gonna be fighting off any attackers with it, however for down and dirty work, or just for cutting something, can't beat a simple razor, and I won't feel bad if I'm using it for a dirty rough job that I'd be hesitant to use a good quality knife or my leatherman wave blade on.

My EDC is a Springfield XD 45 Mod 2 Sub compact, Galco King Tut IWB holster, 13 rd spare magazine, Kershaw knife, Surefire Light, keys, Two cellphones (one work, one personal), tri-fold leather wallet. I wear a business suit all day long. With the IWB holster I am able to take my suit jacket off and have my dress shirt tucked in over the holster and no one knows I'm carrying. I have practiced and continue to practice drawing from the different ways I have it concealed. I think that is very important is to know how to draw safely and speedy when needed.

Ha, you crack me up with that opening montage. Gun, light, , knife, another gun, chapstick? :-) Another great vid.

Same here Sootch I carry my g26 iwb with a 11round mag + 1 chambered. But I carry two glock 19 mags owb. I've been thinking of switching the g19 mags over to two g17 mags. Also carry a s10r baton and a Ontario rat2. Santa brought be a olight m1x striker can't wait to try it out and carry it. I'm going to revamp my edc as well to include a tourniquet and a back up flashlight

I always carry my Leatherman utility tool. The pliers and screwdrivers come in handy alot.

You're the best Sootch! Sending the love from the NW! There are a ton of gun lovers up here in Oregon!! ;)

I like that he has humor about things! It comprises for 20% for why I come to this channel...80% to learn Lol

Sootch those are very nice holsters I too carry g26 thanks for showing me different ideas. I just watched your trip wire video that has a signaling device attached genius brother I have woods at my 6 and always wondered about that.

Great video Don! But one suggestion that I'd make is some sort of multitool! I personally always have one on me whenever possible. My EDC multi tool of choice is the Leatherman S2 Juice and it is just perfect! Has everything I need (knife, scissors, screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters, can/bottle opener) and nothing I don't. It's also small, light and compact too. I HIGHLY recommend everyone carry a multi tool of some sort on their person!

honestly just one question why tuck in the front of your jeans? i feel if you're tucking do it in back near your wallet "just in case"

Great ipdate, I just added Chap Stick to my 3DC last week due to winter! Merry Christmas!

I must say that I've made 3 recent purchases that have changed my world with EDC. 1 of which is a belt-pouch for carrying more crap lol Got this nifty belt pouch on Amazon for like $15-20. My friend Jenny who is much opposed to purses calls it my "Tactical Access Pocket", which I love. Biggest things that go in it are an extremely minimal amount of first-aid stuff, some Urban Prepper inspired things (like the EDC tin and "Mini Medi", since I'm always hurting myself somehow, I swear), and a battery charger pack for my phone that burns through battery super fast. The other big two items are the Inova Micro-LED light (I have one in blue so it doesn't ruin my night vision in the dark) and a whistle I found at a local store, both of which are on my keyring with a Swiss Army Classic. I sometimes forget or can't carry a bigger flashlight, so that little inova light is nice so I always have a flashlight.

Great video Sootch! Thank you! I EDC and will EDC in 2016: Flashlights (Fenix PD35 and Olight S1) watch (Casio G-Shock) telescopic baton (ESP 16'') pepper spray (KO JET) pocket knife (Victorinox Tinker) tactical pen (Williams CRKT) and my cell phone, of course! Stay safe! And keep up the good work!

one item i have to go with my edc are combat suspenders. that attaches to my gun belt to keep my pants up. aside from brands and models i carry the same kit.

First, I'll post the more unique items in my EDC that I hope will give you some ideas: 1) A compact from CoverGirl (mostly for the mirror inside) 2) A flashdrive 3) Kleenex ("disposable facial tissues" for those not familiar with the name) 4) Paper, either a miniature pad of paper or 3x5 notecards 5) Mechanical pencil 6) Baby butt wipes in a Ziplock bag 7) Mechanix Gloves 8) Bandanna 9) Earplugs 10) GoPro camera (Hero 3) with spare batteries Now for why I carry those: 1) The mirror has many uses. It is very high quality but also not curved like many compact mirrors. Not only can you use it to look at yourself (as intended), but you can also use it to look around corners in a tactical situation to find the threat. Finally, the compact can also carry small things. I keep neosporin, bandaids, some electrical tape, and alcohol wipes in mine. 2) A flashdrive is useful for me. If you don't routinely interact with computers and need to have storage on hand, then this might not be useful for you. I like keeping all my music and documents on hand with me. I keep my flashdrive with my keys. 3) Kleenex is a must for carrying. I use this more than any other thing I carry, save for my phone. 4) Paper is useful. I always have at least a 3x5 notecard on me, but I will also carry a miniature pad of paper frequently (it's about 2.5 inches by 4 inches). I mostly use them for shopping lists and writing down things I want / need to remember. 5) I like mechanical pencils. I don't like that I can't erase mistakes with pen. The pencil is mostly useful in conjunction with paper. 6) Baby butt wipes aren't only for babies and aren't only for butts. 7) Mechanix gloves are awesome. I use them for lifting heavy things, touching dirty things, touching or moving things that could give splinters, and for providing thermal insulation during the winter. 8) A bandanna is useful for me. I mostly use it as a sweatband if I am sweating. If I want to sleep somewhere I can also use it as a blindfold. It is useful for many other things. I'm surprised that Sootch hasn't covered the many uses of a bandanna on this channel. I should eventually look into getting a bandanna that isn't gang colors. 9) Earplugs are easy to carry. Not only could you put them in if you knew you were going into a firefight (say you hear gunshots a bit away and have time), you can also use them to protect your hearing from loud road construction. I mostly just use them to block out sound when I want to sleep. 10) Yes. I carry my GoPro everywhere with me (in my pocket, not on my face). Not only does it give me the ability to take good pictures and video when I want to, it also gives me a way to record something if anything bad happens (car accident, violent confrontation, interaction with police, etc). I personally think this one is really important. Finally, the less interesting / unique things: 1) Beretta Px4 sub 2) Knife 3) Multitool (along with the allen key that goes to my bicycle) 4) Cell phone 5) Fenix PD35 flashlight (1000 lumens) 6) Spare magazine for handgun 7) Mp3 player and earphones 8) Wallet 9) Keys All this fits in or attached to 5.11 Taclite Pro pants. The only two things that are uncomfortable are the Gopro and the wallet, mostly because both of them are kinda fat. I keep all of this on me every day, save for the pad of paper (still have notecards, though). If, for some reason, I'm wearing a shirt that doesn't accommodate pencils, then I'll skip the pencil as well.

A compass, map , matches, and lighter I also carry. Other than what you have displayed in this very informative video. I subbed , thank you for all your education.

Great videos as always got the o light from your review thanks

Because I have to wear polo shirts tucked in for my job my edc is very small and streamlined. For example my edc light is a Streamlight Microstream and my knife is a small CRKT folder. Anybody else limited by apparel they have to wear on a daily basis?

Scooch you didn't inform us of what EDC defensive ammo you have loaded.

Love your channels. Been watching for a year or so now. I really enjoy the EDC videos. I always have a flashlight and Leatherman. I've got one of Maxpedition mini carrys that goes with me in my truck. Never too far away. Question on concealed carry: Do you recommend that insurance in case you are involved in a situation that you had to use your firearm? Maybe a topic for another video. Merry Christmas. 2nd Amendment baby.

I always carry a Fisher Bullet Space Pen. Small, light and very useful.
