Just have another same redundant 5 items in your car, and another same redundant 5 items at your job site, then you don't have to drive back ever again.

Leatherman charge tti, o light baton 3, glock 48 nothing stock in or on the pistol 15rd mags, with its olight, titanium pry bar, microtech pen. Tend to have a flex tactical belt on as well.

Hi Dominic, thanks for mentioning clipping a flashlight to your hat. I recently started wearing a baseball cap and completely forgot I can clip my flashlight to it 🙄😋 Also the grip6 is awesome. I’ve had one 6 months now, still baffles me that it works soooo well. The easy of use, microscopic adjustment capability 🧐 and the low profile make it the best belt I’ve ever own.

That hat honestly is pretty awesome. I might actually consider taking a look at that as I do wear hats during the sunnier months. It seems practical without seeming gimmicky.

Taking stuff from spirit and writing it down brings it into the physical world. Manifested, it can be dealt with! Bravo

I really liked your comments and thoughts about paper and pens! Absolutely true! Also, I've been using Pokka pens for several months now because of you, and they're great! 😁 My top 5 items are: knife, multitool (usually a SAK), watch, wallet, and pen and paper. Thanks for another great video, man!

Glad to see more Packout nerds! Also, on the RITR gear, I carried them for years (and still do) in Iraq and Afghanistan... and they are no joke when it comes to sweating and being able to not have to read smudges or pulling a pile of mush out of your pocket. Great idea on the sticky extremes! Thanks again for another banger!

Thanks for this dude! This collab project put me on your radar and I’m glad I found your channel. Some really interesting items here!

This was great fun to watch. Totally agree about paper and pen, and really interested in how you choose a LOW output flashlight (to save your marriage at 4 am) Love the channel. Keep 'em coming !

I watched all the videos and is was pretty obvious that no one EDC set or right for everyone. All together I think your’s was the closest to mine, except for the hat, which I like a lot and will probably end up getting a couple. Thanks,

I agree with you on the light, hat,belt ,and pad & pen. And a mutitool.

I seriously thought you had a yellow crayon in that pile of pocket dump hahaha 🤣 hilarious can wait to see this.

One of my oldest edc is actually a notebook and a pen. I might have too much drama (?) :)) but yes i hate to borrow someone else's pens when in public. I still write all my thinks by hand. Surprisingly that makes me look old school but hey do I care not.. i do have a few pokka pens but where do you get variety of colors and $4 a pen? I use zebra pens including pressurized ones, summer time when i dont have a shirt pocket i use fisher space bullet pens. Pokka is mostly for hiking and travels.

Nice to hear that you love your Grip6 web belt. I've been rocking one myself for about 2-3 years now and the only sign of wear I see is a little rickle where the belt would be around my back.

Hello, Dominic - great video! I agree that the most powerful item in your EDC arsenal is pen & paper...there is nothing like it...what you write when you see it will remind you where you were when you wrote it & how you felt about it at the time...it will sometimes further give you newer ideas...it is refreshing to see there are folks who still appreciate the use of the written word...kudos!

The dramatic GRIP6 reveal was A+ 😂. I had mine on for all of five minutes before I realized that was the belt for the rest of my life. Looks great for work and formal occasions, easy to swap nylon or buckles, no moving parts, easy on/off, granular tighten/loosen, and doesn't pull my belly hair!

Have you seen the sharpdraw carpenters pencil? Its built exactly like a 9mm snap off knife and the lead looks the same too.

Grip 6 is a game changer. Had one for a few years now, will take something incredibly special to get me to change

Another awesome video 👍

That Pen & Paper thing is deep man, wasn't expecting that.

EDC Skittles - that was good! Lol

My concealed carry, phone, wallet, sunglasses are the only things I’d go back home for. I’d feel completely naked but could do without the rest.

These videos were quite interesting and really gave me some very good insights on my EDC. I came to defining my 5 essentials as the 5 pieces on which my everyday functioning depends: 1. IEMs (and I guess my phone as a music player). Music is easily my most essential "can't live without" daily carry and the ability to disconnect or even just calm down a bit is what keeps me sane in my occasionally stressful daily environment. I use the Dunu Titan S with a TRN 6 core cable for having a mic (which if anyone has a better mic IEM cable recommendation please let me know). 2. Watch. A time piece on my wrist is beyond just knowing the time for me. It's about the ability to micromanage my time. Whether I'm preparing in the morning, about to go anywhere (especially via public transport), at home cooking a timing sensitive meal or any performing any other task/mission with a hard time limit the watch is invaluable for me and my functioning. I currently have the Casio MRW 200H watch tuned 1 minute early and it works perfectly for everything I need. 3. Tissues. It's simple, really. They are god for all sorts of minor emergencies and inconveniences and are mostly good for stopping minor bleeding quickly. as someone with frequent nose bleeds I often regret not carrying a pack. Any small pocket 10 pack supplies me for several days. 4. Phone. Some might consider it a "cheap" choice for being carried by everyone nowadays and the fact I kinda mentioned it at the first piece but even I have to admit It's totally essential nowadays. I don't even like it very much, but beyond carrying all my music I use instant messaging and phone calls no less than any other idiot out there, including but not limited to in a professional setting. my more personal need for the phone is notes for writing down lists and thoughts as someone with poor hand writing (I still usually carry pen and paper). My current carry is a very worn Xiaomi Redmi 8 which once it inevitably dies I hope to replace with something mostly more rugged and potentially smaller as well. 5. Tool. I put this one last because, outside of work, I don't often pull it out of my pocket. It is however still an important piece for me and one I shall include even if just for liking it alone (even above a light which I carry just slightly more often). I am not specifying multiotool, knife or any other EDC tool type, as I do not it matters as much exactly what you carry as it does whether you carry it at all. sure, there are cutting tools, grabbing tools, driving tools and so on, but I believe merely having a sufficiently convenient piece of metal in your pocket gives you plenty of capability in and of itself. Currently I have a leatherman crunch with me, which I consider to be the probably the greatest multitool ever (or at least untill I get a Surge), and I plan on starting to get into knives soon). One issue I have with multitools is a deeply concerning tendency to lose them. so far I lost an unnamed Leatherman PST clone, Leatherman Rev, 2 Skeletool CXs, had a Leatherman Crunch confirmed hijacked right under my nose, and a Victorinox Pioneer. I can't just stop getting multi tools and I've been tying small carabiners on lanyards to all my multitools which helped quite a bit but I am still distressed by how often those things get lost for me. Other than these things I of course carry keys, legal documents, tobacco, satanic symbolism, torch etc. but non of those things I would consider essential (even my tobacco isn't used on weekends).

Awesome! 😎👍🏻

Yeah Grip6! I'm not a hat guy, but I absolutely love the storage use of yours. Cheers!

All need to follow up now with 10 edc follow up and the ways of carrying it - your bags

Love the top spiral notebook idea.. where did you buy those elastic lip pen clip?? I really like the idea having my streamlight microstream flashlight on hand as part of my EDC, but honestly, I don't need it nearly as much as most of the other items I carry. A few times in a dark garage or basement but honestly, even with the flashlight, I still find myself using my iPhone more to quickly light up something under the couch, etc.

I agree with you. I don't even head toward the door without a hat. I'm going to check out those wazoo hats

I most definitely carry the things on your list. But I didn't find the place to vote. I have a few other must haves though. Lol

Digging those caps! 👍

Nice video!

Wow, I am getting a Cache Cap! I've gone back to my favorite flashlight, Thrunite Ti3 V2. I have just accepted that this flashlight would never be a "head lamp" because there was not dual direction clip, but you pointing out that the hat can accommodate a single direction pocket clip changes everything! I may have to try that belt, too.

Love that you didn't show wallet keys Smartphone and so on! Suggestion: next time you all could do a "what are the weirdest things you carry" colab. Would like to see the most uncommon edc! So, for me, beside phone keys and so on, I don't leave house without 1. Bubble gum 2. Tissues 3. Alcoholic aftershave with fragrance to desinfect hands and smell good 4. Bandaids 5. Chapstick (and Handlotion in winter) Cheers from Germany!

Great video, I always carry a notebook and pen.

I would recommend Lamy Pico. It's small retractable pen, that can be used one handed and it's fun to play with.

That’s an awesome idea, to put some post-it’s at the end of a notebook! Adding that, and some index cards to the back of mine. What I really need to find is a robust mechanical pencil. Any recs?

well said...the basics is most important .. just like the pen and paper... i just remember in my younger days writting letter on girffriend ,,.. and read her response .. i am exited to read her response letter...take good care and god bless

Bandana is for me in addition to those 5..and now alcohol hand sanitizer..glasses is being added as i get freakin old 8-:()

For me, sunglasses are an essential. I can't say a notebook is a need for me, but I do find having a pen very useful.

Hi Dominic I got a grip 6 belt too and I don't understand how you love it tbh

Well said sir. I sketch. Paper and pen every time. But having just got my first ever pair of glasses….good luck without them 🤨.

Do you have any experience or opinion on how well the grip 6 belts would do as a CCW inside the waistband holster supporting belt? I'm just not sure it's solid or stiff enough or that the weight of a CCW wouldn't be a problem for the buckle and friction mechanism. Thanks!

I’m surprised you guys didn’t include Taylor Martin

Pens and notebooks are my weakness, I will always buy a cool one I don't have yet, but rite in rain has stayed at the top my list. Also, like the hat patch, I have a tiny version of it on my pouch! So cool!

lol EDC skittles. Love it.

1. Flashlight 2. Small’s tin’s contain bits, sewing kit, card with gorilla tape, safety pins, homemade sharpener and strop 3” pce aluminium, one side has a scrap of leather glued on, other side pce of wet and dry double sided taped on (INSPIRED BY a jony fire YT VIDEO), bandaid, slim glue stick, the small solder sleeves that can be set with a lighter, ibrufen pain killers. 3.Knipex xs 4. SAK huntsman includes scale pen 5. Victorinox bit wrench

Wow, very nice list, I probably wouldn’t go that far with the cap being a backpack or wearing belt in the ocean…but hey, I swim with a knife in my back pocket so what do i know? :) my list is a bit different though.

For pens I have found the zebra 701 with a hobo tactical PENetrator tip on it to be the best most functional pen without looking like some tacticool dude

My top 5 edc items at least one knife but I usually carry 2. Different sizes Different purposes. Multi tool, some kind of trauma kit (which includesa flash light), a hat or bandana depending my mode of transportation, finally one you probably don't see to often a vhf / uhf hand radio.

Yep Pokka pens are wonderful. I keep one on my truck keys, my office keys and in my little shoulder bag. Best item on the internet. I like the hat. Do you have a link for it?

So I've been using a Grip6 belt for 3 years... tough as nails and comfy! I'm a bigger guy as be they hold strong lol, I rigged my buckle opposite so it comes through as a normal belt and it still doesn't slip and is super fast to undo. I think that is how they should be worn personally... I was a hard-core leather belt guy for 20 plus years until I tried one of these.

I never wear hats, but that’s so cool. Well the only hats I wear are cowboy hats, so I guess I’ll be doing more of that. And I could make my own pockets on my Stetson. But you should try the groove belt, I think it’s better than the grip6, I’ve tried both and I’ll use the g6 for variety, but the groove is an amazing locking system and it’s better for carrying. Ofc having an even thicker belt helps, but if everything is too heavy, then I’ll wear the philster enigma, but also when I wear joggers or anything without belt loops. I hope you try it and I’ll probably buy that hat, really enjoyed this video and all your others. God bless you bro

Would the grip six belts work as a gun belt for concealed carry?

The hat looks cool but if you do actual hard labor how would the things in not end up soaked?

Travax makes my favorite belt. Best belt ever imo

Log and jotter is my choice for notebooks they're durable. Affordable, made in the usa, beautiful artwork and stories each month makes it well worth $5

Give the KORE Essentials belts a try... for me there is no better choice.

Like these collab videos. Consider inviting Marine X EDC to participate. He has some interesting loadouts.

New Sub Here! great video, we share the same likes for everyday EDC. I'm in Virginia but commute to DC regularly........Also, a fan of Farney's Pen shop in DC.

What watch is that ? Very clear 👍

A pen video would be awesome

Similar here. I am not a hat person, so I'd say my 5 is a Clinch Pick fixed blade. I conceal carry, but I'll admit that it is not a turn back around must have every place I go thing (should be? sure...but in reality, nah). Belt was odd. I admit I always have my belt 100% of the time I go out, I just wouldnt call it EDC.....though, it kinda is, huh? So Id replace that with my watch (G-Shock Rangeman with leatherman tread as a band). It is simple, rugged, SOLAR, and the band is an array of last-ditch 'where did my pants go' set of basic tools. Flashlight, YES. Pen/Paper, everywhere I go. Multitool: Gerber legend 800...20+ years and a warzone later, still 100% fine on all tools with NO upkeep outside blade sharpening (mostly pocket carry). Plier and Scissor springs still perfect. EVERY day carry. I am gonna look into the hat. I dont always have one, but when I do it is for something work related or outdoors and I like the pockets a lot. I'll give the GRIP6 a go too. I run gunbelts mostly, but that one looked like a very nice light option. great stuff, man. Thanks for sharing!

i was so confused why i searched "EDC" and 3 videos popped up all posted today called "5 EDC Things i cant live without"

We all have the same #1 EDC ~ Cell phone

I'm a track/ratcheting belt fanboy. They are all I wear anymore.

Trayvaxx makes a better version of that belt, trust me, I bought the grip 6 belt and liked it but I love my titanium trayvaxx sinch belt, you will travel half across the country to get that belt lol

Wallet, phone, wristwatch, glasses, carkey.....

Красота хочу такую же подари мне пожалуйста 👍👍👍👍👍✊✊✊✊✊

My liver is requesting that I get a pen and a notebook instead of using vodka

Out of many listed here, i liked your vid the best. Again, my reasons are: your videos are less polished (!) Yet they do look LESS like just another infomercial with a bunch of links to overpriced (premium?) Items. Stay humble, stay on the budget! Another thing is everyone kinda disagreed on should we count a wallet and a phone as an edc. Id say staying to the truth wallet with cash cards and whatever is there is an item one, then a phone. Then it could vary but most likely a knife/multitool, flashlight, keys. Thanks

Якщо подумати, я звик до моїх multitool настільки, що коли я йду десь и випадково їх не взяв, я почуваю себе майже голим... Ніби я пішов без одягу... Настільки я звик, що я можу щось зробити ними за потреби. І я не завжди маю с собою ніж, але мої Victorinox minichamp та SOG Poweraccess це ядро. Ліхтарик може бути будь який із моїх 10, проте хоча-б один завжди зі мною. Інколи буває, що я беру с собою Leatherman Skeletool і Leatherman Style PS замість них, але це радше виключення із правил. Це не все що я ношу, але можна сказати що маленькі ножиці, плоскогубці і викрутки це основа. Завжди

It's a cap, not a hat.

No, a hat isn't an edc since it isn't a tool. You just say it to promote consumerism. You don't need it, it's just a style choice. Don't trick your viewers.

Hi sir,this is ViVi from Brinyte Flaslhight.I saw your video which is good.I hope to invite you to test our light.Are you interested in tesing?If yes,please contact me!thanks a lot!
