I'm 62 and I wear caps 95% of the time and I have a huge collection

In your same order. 1) Leatherman Mut with the same tool kit accessories because I always carry. 2) Any baseball cap will do, I am not that big of a Nancy. 3) Garmin Fenix 6. Thrunite W1 Flashlight. 4) Spyderco Para Signature, CPM S110V. 5) Danner boots not sure what kind, they do not make them anymore, so I keep sending them to their Cobbler shop to be remade. 6) Mountain Smith Tour with straps. All purchased because of your channel. Love them all. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do.

I always wear a cap. And I've never met anyone as particular as I am in regards to bending the brim just right.

Garmin Instinct Solar is my number one wristwatch that I wear every single day, and every night.

Great video . For me it is a flash light a cap , cell phone, Garmin watch, ear buds, power bank, and vords

I’m literally living in a tent in the desert/mountains as part of a year off-grid experience, and I can’t say I’ve spent anywhere near the amount of time considering my EDC.

The way he talks gets me pumped. Building my own edc pouch ATM and love watching this channel. Keep going bro

Cable's down and I have no beer. Savage reality.

Another benefit to my Magpul hat is that the top button on the crown is left off so you can run ear protection and not have it pressing down on your dome.

I'm a cap enthusiast. Fit is the key. I have a large melon. Like I'm down to one or two snaps on a one size fits all cap. Only owned one fitted cap, too much money and I tend to ruin caps quickly. I wear trucker hats because of work, it's my only choice. Cowboy hat is my preferred hat. I'm limited by my job in wearing one but I would wear one everyday if I could. Not just for looks but the utility. I work outside a lot and my neck is a little worse for wear. Yes sunscreen works do I use it, nope. Dirt and cream don't mix. I digress.

DUDE!, GIdeons Tactical has saved my life on more than one occasion and all I can say is THANK YOU.

Great video! I think you should make a part 2 and complete the list with other articles of clothing, med equipment, fire starting, water filter and containment, etc….maybe not all “EDC” to some people but enough to be completely self reliant.

Hey man great channel watching from Australia. I had to do the very thing you are talking about in this episode, I had my edc bag stolen from my car by a scumbag and other things including tools but loosing the bag and the contents was the thing I was shattered about the most, I had built the bag up over a number of years and was almost perfect for my needs. But I enjoyed rebuilding again to be honest I changed a few things even the bag itself.

Best video idea ever! Tagging you in my version.

Great topic. Sends me into panic stations. I have waaay too many knives, 90 fixed and similar number folding. Can’t choose which ones I could give up despite reality telling me I really, truly only NEED a handful!!!!

Very timely topic and exercise. At the top of my list would be my Wave+ with bit kit and bit extender, Streamlight Stylus Pro, Gerber EAB Lite, and Icon Flex Head ratchet and bit set from Harbor Freight.

Big hat person here. Have one on when I'm not working. Probably have a hat on 60-80% of the time. My go to hats are Ebbet Field Flannels hats. Old school baseball hats that are quite stylish. They aren't cheap. Cool thing, they have no structure. They are like the old school baseball hats from the 1900-1960s. I wear Condor Operator hats as my backup hat. Don't care if I trash the Condors. But there is no trashing of the EFF hats.

This is a great premise for a video - I've got so much gear I can't imagine getting to start over!

Cool consideration! I’d probably go with what I’ve settled on for present EDC, including: Garmin Instinct, Spyderco Delica 4, & Victorinox Manager & Olight i1r on my key ring. For a multitool I’d probably use a Leatherman Wave+. I’m bald so I appreciate a ton of different hats; one of my favorites is my issued Polartec “Cap, Synthetic Microfleece One Size”.

Nice vid. Knipex Cobra 125, Vic SAK Super Tinker, Streamlight 1L-1AA, Machine Era Classic Brass pen, All Ett original wallet, Spyderco Dragonfly 2, Casio Oceanus

Today Taurus G2s, Hogue Mini Incursion, Benchmade SOCP dagger, Thrunite BSS v4. Also have the SOCP folder in the straps of my sling bag. Thanks for the EDC update Aaron! Y’all have a fantastic weekend & God Bless! 🔪🗡️

I always wear a cap but it is always a Fitted Atlanta Braves hat.

The Redoubt?! Blew my mind with that one. Really makes you.. wait for it... Rethink.

Ok, first off..I won't do clothing...that's a slippery slope, boots? Belt? Jacket? Etc..so wazoo Cache cap, cache belt and, viking whetstone necklace is a given. 1. Victorinox Alox Classic (located in hat brim) 2. Garmin Instinct 2 SOLAR (has to be solar imo) 3. Multitool with 1H blade and clip...your choice of the G10 is excellet...I don't know which I would choose...but the Spirit MX Clip is at the top of that list. 4. Warrior Mini 2 Flashlight 5. Skillcraft Aviator B3 pen (it's perfect) 6. Edc fixed blade: tough...really tough...Dawson knives magnacut 3" hunter is damn close. 7. Spyderco Spydichef

1. Full size Spartan Harsey folder 2. Victorinox Swiss Tool 3. Victorinox watch 4. Boonie hat 5. Viktos Johnny Combat boots 6. Olight Arkfeld 7. ValTac Rover 25 backpack (no longer made since ValTac went out of business)

1. Glock 43x w/ extra mag 2. Spyderco PM2 3. Analog all metal watch (I kinda hate technology) 4. SAK Tinker 5. Keys 6. Mag Pull Wallet 7. Lighter

we lost our van in a fire late last year. My EDC pack was in it. This is exactly what I'm thinking thru these days. Just got a Gerber Center Drive. I was given a flashlight/lighter combo. I carry a normal pen. I don't get the fascination with tac pens. Soon going to add a small rechargeable battery for charging stuff.

I had everything except my wallet and phone stolen 2 years ago during a trip to San Antonio, TX. It was one of the most depressing things ever. Went inside a buffalo wild wings for lunch and everything I brought was in the car. Came out about an hour later to a shattered window and an empty car. Couldn't believe it. Took the cops FOUR HOURS to respond. Stopped at a Buc-ee's on the way to the airport and was able to get what I needed to make it back home. A few days later a family from my church offered to buy a replacement of everything I lost. THAT was one of most incredible things that ever happened. People who stay steal from others need a real life change, but it turned out to be an opportunity for me to see that good can win over evil.

Happy New Year, Aaron! This is an interesting but really challenging exercise, because what I need in my daily life varies widely. I think I'm going to carry the same EDC setup all this week, just to see how it works out.

Great video. So much of my edc collection is just stuff I got when I was trying to figure out what I liked. A fresh start would be interesting. Happy new year.

I would love one of these for a bug out bag or get home bag. I have all the basics but am now wanting to start upgrading but not sure where to start.

I really appreciate these types of videos from you. There are so many gear reviews to wade through, this was a nice clarifying set of them. Plus, I need a new keychain light.

I'd never considered what I'd pick if I had to start from scratch. Very interesting premise for a video. I have a 5.11 AMP 24. Great bag and very modular but I don't like that it won't stand upright without being leaned backwards against something. I've now moved to a Direct Action Dragon Egg 2. Early days but so far I'm extremely impressed.

Great vid. Beginning of each year is a great time for a personal EDC review. Excluding clothing: 1. Mobile phone. 2. Light (Rovyvon A1 excellent choice to start). 3. Multitool (Leatherman OHT). 4. Watch (something Casio G Shock solar). 5. Knife (Spyderco Manix 2). 6. Backpack (something 5.11). 7. Small first aid kit (I hate being without some form of first aid). 8. Gloves (something Mechanix). 9. A good powerbank. Ok 8 & 9 might be cheating but for me they are important enough 😁. Sharp blades all.

Great video keep them coming!

Cant go wrong with the Swisschamp and the Fenix PD25R. Wazoo sharpening stone necklace.

Great video 👍 Garmin are absolutely killing it with their smart watches !

Starting from scratch here - this is great. Keep up the uploads this year!

I’m with you on the hats. Currently the Columbia PHG black/gray hunting flag hat. I also like legacy brand hats for unstructured.

I agree 110% with you on the Leatherman charge w/G10 scales. I just used your link to score another one for $119.97! Thank you! I have gone all in on the G10 scale version of Leatherman. I have an orange and a red, plus another red on the way from a trade deal. I saw this orange G10 version on sale and thought, Meh....it's only money and snagged one. I much prefer the textured scales on these over the standard Charge/Wave models. Plus, I like the colors, to me they stand out if I lay them down while working. Sometimes the silver color of the regular models get lost to me. Thank you!

I have a surge and its hands down the best multi tool ive ever owned or used. I just might pick up the Charge+ TTi Tool Pouch kit.

1-REBAR ( black oxide with replacement cutter inserts with RAE GEAR holder) 2- Garmin 7x sapphire solar 3- Thrunite Archer 1AV3 4- ZT 0357BW 5- Columbia Coolhead Ii Ball Cap 6- Columbia Men's Gunnison Ii Omni-Heat boots 7- Maxpedition TT26 Bug Out Pack Dark blue.

You might want to check out trucker caps from a few running companies. I also love trucker caps and you were essentially describing a running hat in your video. Headsweats and celo, as well as plenty of other brands, make great trucker caps for active use.

I really enjoyed this video. I live in Texas and on a budget. I would really like to see some of the same idea but geared toward people in my area. But, I always love your content!

Hmmm… if $ wasn’t the problem it is now? * Leatherman P4 Free (updated steel hopefully) *2023 Wazoo Cache Hat *GShock with Compass *Streamlight of some flavor *Esee 3 in S35VN with better scales, sheath, ect… *Ospery backpack ( Daylite Plus or bigger) * Replace my DarnTough socks!!! My true EDC that EDCs me! The list could go on but I’ll end it here. Thanks for the vid!

Great list! Gives me a lot to think about 👍

I have an Amp12 I was thinking of getting rid of, but before I saw this video, I realized it was a great all around that I could use in a lot of different scenarios, so I am probably keeping it now.

1 Nitecore TUP 1000 2wav+ 3 kavu trail runner hat 4 Asolo TPS 520 GV boots 5 North Face recon backpack 6 lroy Apex Slim Sleeve Slim Bifold 7 cold steel recon 1

Thanks Aaron for the video. I think I would start with the El Chete like the one hanging on your wall. I live in a cabin in the woods and my El Chete is one of my most used knives for processing wood down for the woodstove. I'm pretty old school on everything else and can pretty much make anything work for me, but certainly would miss the El Chete.

great video--love the suggestions

Might suggest the rovyvon E5u as you can run it off a AAA battery as well as an internal battery and the pocket clip lets you attach it to your hat and use it like a head lamp

Awesome Idea Aaron 👍👍 1. Charge TTi modified with awl 2. Spyderc . . . um Benchma . . . um Chris Reev . . . wait seriously dude ONE KNIFE??? 3. Mystery Ranch Scree 32 4. Suunto Alpha Traverse Alpha 5. Kifaru Side blister 6. FENIX PD36R PRO RECHARGEABLE 7. Morakniv Bushcraft Black Whew but that would suck if I lost all of my stuff,

I'm a fan of the wazoo cashe cap myself, and my preferred Leatherman is the super tool I got one in highschool that only recently got lost, so over 20 years, I never had anything I needed to use it for that it didn't excel at.

Geez. 7 items that I’ll truly carry everyday… 1. Spyderco PM2 2. AirPods 3. iPhone 4. Open Sea Leather Hubei 2.0 wallet 5. Fenix E18R V2.0 6. Keys. Yet to find a preferred set up 7. SAK Huntsman

Watch Timex, SAK Huntsman, flashlight skilhunt e3a, leatherman rev

Multitool: Leatherman OHT, hat: Wazoo Survival Cache Cap, smart watch: Garmin Instinct 2 Camo, flashlight: Olight Arkfeld, pocket knife: Spyderco Yojimbo 2, footwear: Origin Built boots or Merrell Forestbound Mid Wp Men'S Hiking Boot.

Interesting thought experiment Aaron. I have recently changed around my EDC gear bc I’ve found better stuff that works easier for me. I’ve had good luck with the Bestech Swordfish in S35VN (I too have large size hands), the streamlight mini, a regular Bic lighter and a Leatherman Wave+. I’ve added some cold weather gear to my truck EDC and have added some better sleeping pads (ThermoRest MondoKing) to my camping gear bc I only can do ‘car camping’ nowadays as a result of a spinal injury. No more hiking for me. Love your videos Aaron. Keep up the good work and I hope to see a review of my new favorite camp knife (the Rat 6 in S35VN) in the future.

Old School Gerber Multi-Tool, with full sized pliers. I like that you can open it with one hand. Swiss Army Deluxe Tinker, great knife. AA Mini Mag Flashlight. US Army Patrol Cap, fits under my bike helmet. Ferro Rod. Compass. For a large folding lock back knife, my Buck 110, that I've put a thumb stud on for one hand opening.

If I lost all my gear the first thing I would do is buy another Esee 6 lol .

Instinct plug-in AWESOME! and I own like a you quite a few caps. I do nylon non-mesh like M-Tac for durability and stain resistant. I LOVE the Cold Steel Voyager series (tanto my edc). Boots would be Ad-Tec 9" logger boots are the shitz ankle support and comfort. These boots I have beat the shitz out of in all condition AND with some heavy weight wool socks -10 comfort. Love your vids and been a fan for years!

Those are some pretty sweet options👍 Those Danners are quite gorgeously functional but my budget for and abuse of footwear generally calls for Keen Targhee 2s. Gotta say those Danners really impress though so I might be saving up for those puppies. The Danners would have to last a good bit longer then my Keens however to justify the price since function and frugality have much more weight in my footwear decisions then fashion. Can't argue with the choice of a Rovy Von, those are awesome lights imo! But as an admitted Fenix Fanboy I'd have to go with the new PD25R if my current Fenix RC05 SE was gone. Gotta say being a ball cap guy Im suprised you didnt choose a light that has a 2 way pocket clip that you can clip to your hat. I do like that Benchmade Redoubt and am actually seriously considering buying a Benchmade Taggedout as im finally old enough to justify to myself that it's OK to spend Benchmade money on a knife especially if it's a Benchmade lol. But honestly I don't think I'll ever find an edc knife/multitool that will replace the near perfection of my Victorinox One Handed Trekker for my edc needs and desires. So I'd have to buy another one immediately if it disappeared. I'm definitely a fellow ball cap essentialist. It's probably a 365 day a year must have for me lol, and I am on the same page with the non structural front so it conforms and fits the head like a glove. I do however prefer a full material cap instead of a mesh back. My current fav is an older charcoal The North Face ball cap that they also don't make anymore👎 Might have to check out magpul when mine finally gets to worn out to wear. A watch is a luxury for me since I've always got the phone on me but a writing instrument is probably on my top 7 list and my go to will always be the Skillcraft B3 Aviator. It's a great multipen/pencil and it pairs nicely with a Write in the Rain notebook. I would agree that a good edc bag is definitely on the top 7 essential replacements list. Mine is an older Osprey Ozone 46 and I like it a lot for my needs and wants in an edc all purpose pack/bag that can handle many different use cases. I do wish however that more companies would start making highly water resistant or even waterproof edc bags/packs.

The one thing thats killing my set up is a good pair of gloves. I cant seem to find that solid combination of gloves that can stand up to bushcraft and allow me to keep decent finger dexterity. Would definitely be interested in some glove reviews.

Most things would depend on price point but the very 1st thing I’d replace is my ball cap which is a Notch. Absolutely love that hat. For my boots I’m going with Twisted X. The rest I’ll just wing it unless my saddle is in the mix cuz my multi-tool & my Strongarm are attached to it. Now if my saddle gets destroyed y’all get ya boats ready cuz I’ll be crying a river. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I need to check out the magpul caps and I've been looking at the leatherman charge because of the g10 scales I currently carry a surge as far as blades I've been carrying hogue for the last couple of years my next on will be the k320 axg and thorogood is my boot choice now

Thanks for making the video. It sucks real bad having everything stolen and starting over. Hope it never happens to you.

Haha, you said you humped in your boots! What's that country song.. knock'n boots?

Yes I like to make modular kits that go in a bag. I have one main kit that my whole bag is focused around. I try to make two kits just in case I have someone with me.

I'd honestly go with a Gerber mp600, I absolutely love the one I got years ago with. I love my Benchmade 940, so probably that for a knife, I ALWAYS have a hat, and for a light I absolutely love my olight baton 2 pro, shoes would literally be some ariat cowboy boots and then a sig p365 to round it all out.

Well... My EDC choices to start over based on they're all typically available KNIFE: Leatherman FREE K4 POUCH: Vanquest EDCM Huge (for essential Diabetes supplies) LIGHT: Fenix TK20R v2 (or PD36R) BACKPACK: Alpha One Niner Evade 1.5 Full in MCB PEN: first Zebra F-701 then Tactile Turn Side Click Short with a .5mm ballpoint insert SHOES: Keen Targhee III waterproof Mid

Leatherman wave plus, benchmade griptilian 550, g-shock dw6500, streamlight microstream, converse allstars low cut black on black, blue alpha edc cobra gun belt LLOD exclusive, and the bag is a toss up between a vertx gamut 2.0 and a 5.11 rush 24 2.0. I love gear also but I agree it’s about living life to the full ✝️

For me the list is the following: 1. Ontario Rat 1....1st pocket knife i bought about 10 years ago, and still alive and kicking. Might end up going with D2 instead of AUS 8, but AUS 8 is a very solid steel 2. Victorinox Hiker....it has lots of tools in a small package. 3. Leatherman rev....great set of tools for good price 4. Casio G shock....one that has Bluetooth capability along with solar panel....good item to have as an alternative to smart watches (still not a big fan, but might change in the future) 4. I guess any backpack will work as long is between 12 to 20L and has enough compartments to put stuff and is waterproof All these items could be had for less than $50 each (except Casio G-Shock that can go between $100 to $175 depending where you purchase it) Hey, i know I'm cheap but gotta start somewhere lol

1 leatherman squirt on keyring. 2 Knipex 125 cobra. 3 victorinox Tourist (with essential can opner mod ) The small victorinox 84mm Tourist is all i need for every day . Laws here in Scotland don't allow much more . 4 rovyvon A9 copper on keyring.

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to cheap to get any of the things you landed on for EDC. I'd go with a North Edge Apache smart watch. ($30) Compass, Altimeter, Barometer, Waterproof 50m. Ganzo G302H Multitool ($40) cheap ball cap ($5 or less). I think I'd pick a fixed blade over a folder, likely the Mora Companion HD (under $30). I pick a solid pair of hiking shoes, likely chinese (around $30), and replace the insoles right away ($10 or less). A flashlight. These days I would go with Wurkkos or a Sofirn light, likely 18650 ($30 or less) and a belt pouch to hold it. For a backpack I'd pick a tactical style pack ($50 or less) with MOLLE on the outside. Likely in chinese multicam or black and about 25L. I'd slap a bottle pouch on one side and a first aid pouch on the other.

Thinking about it as a starting over again…. I’d probably start with a comfy bag, the North Face Mountain Daypack has served me well for a while. Knife would be the Spyderco PM2, I always keep a fixed blade in my bag and while I own more expensive I always gravitate back to the Mora HD Companion because it works well my the PM2. I like the Olight i5R EOS, simple and perfect for me. I always have a multitool but to be honest I don’t have a vast knowledge, so I’ll stick with my tried and true Wave+ as the layout just works for me. Next is the Adventure Medical Ultralight and Trauma Pack as one, I use first aid kits often and like knowing I have quality gear to help anyone that needs it. Lastly a Kleen Kanteen 32oz. I live in a fairly urban area but grew up in a rural area and like to think I’m only ever one bad day from moving back to the woods and this kit accommodates that. If I could have an 8th it’d be any lighter….. I don’t smoke but love a campfire.

Great video. I have a compact flashlight that uses a rechargeable lithium battery, 16850 I think, that has been my EDC for the last three years at home and work. It recharges with a micro USB and is waterproof, low light will last 300+ hours and on high at 1000 lumens it throws a beam 200 yards. Three years and still on the same battery, incredible! They are like $40 on Amazon. Soonfire is the brand, don't remember the model.

Price would be the major consideration for me tbh. Exchange rate isn't in my favour but I would pick up a Gerber MP600 Pro Scout with bitkit, followed by a Vic Forester OHO for my outdoor use (4110 is not the best steel but gives me a knife, saw, prybar, awl in one tool), handmade planters hat I can pick up locally, Fenix E12 light, BSF lightweight boots, minimal wallet, inexpensive Titan analog watch.

Starting with my keys keychain.. Swiss army SD keychain knife..(blade ..nail file with screwdriver tip which works fine Flathead in Phillips and a pinch... Fantastic scissors.. tweezers and toothpick) been carrying one since Dad gave me my first in 1979... Keychain flashlight.. Nightcore rechargeable.... Unbelt in a small pouch I carry a streamlight micro stream....niteyes cell case .. Spyderco delica serrated... Clip to my pocket.. some sort of pocket pistol either a Taurus TCP 380.. or may Smith & Wesson 342 TI airlite .38 centennial 11oz !.zera 6 circular speed strips .. .. if I carry a multi-tool at all it's on my belt in a little pouch the tiniest of the Leatherman. I like to have lightweight items on me as not the weigh me down

Believe it or not, I lost a tote out of the bed of my truck (the tailgate popped open) and I lost my entire GHB plus some other camping gear. Fortunately, my tools (including my bushcraft knife) were in the cab. So, I've been doing a lot of research as I replace my gear. The 7 items that I replaced with something different that took the most research was my pack (I went with the 511 Rush 72) my tarp (OneWind 12 ft Hex), my ferro rod (Uberleben Zuden), folding saw (I went Samurai thanks to you) my belt (a Jukmo rigger belt), my water filter (Lifestraw Flex) and my tourniquet (NAR Gen 7 CAT).

I'm trying to restart my edc when I started last year with the maxpediton remora now I need a better system I want a vanquest but every time I settle on one it's discontinued

I have the leatherman charge as well with titanium handles my watch is a citizen eco drive charged by the sun nothing fancy but never had to worry about it’s battery glows in the dark tells month day time and hr of the day my hats change all the time depending on what I’m wearing etc don’t really have a favorite my favorite blade for yrs is my Benchmade triage in easy to maintain N680 and a separate seatbelt cutter and orange grippy g10 handles plenty tough my boots are the salmon quest 4 goretex boots and they are great they haven’t let me down in the last 2 yrs I’ve used them though I don’t hike as much as u do just hunting a few times a yr and day to day use etc. my bag is the medium savotta jaakari a little heavy for long hikes but is tough as nails we’ll made with 1000 codura tons of uses molle 30 liters of space shoulder waist and chest straps carry handle waterproof drawstring on the top just love it replaced my 511 rush 72 which was also great but wanted to upgrade a little more and I’m glad I did.

Always where a richardson 112. I need something to clip my flashlight to as a headlamp. Plus i like how I look with a backwords cap.

Spyderco Urban (I live in the UK) A big idea design bolt action pen Knipex cobra pliers xs Olight Baton 3 JRW tough clip Some kind of 5 panel cap Bellroy wallet phone case

Great video

Oh Yeah definitely wear a ball cap all the time

Streamlight stylus pro Leatherman charge titanium Benchmade 940-2 Bertucci AT-2 Danner boots, no doubt Zippo rose gold

I hope you jump on the GOAT Tools multitool before the pre-order price increase! Leatherman price increases keep rising. I was going to go with the Charge+ TTI, but for about the same price, I went with the modular GOAT system.

I wonder if 5.11 will make a 2.0 series of the AMP line. Hopefully they do AND I hope they sell all the accessories with it to swap them out easier and so the accessory isn't sold out but you have the bag you want. That's the problem I'm running into now... I joined the EDC Bag game too late, haha. Thanks for the video.

For my personal choice, the Lowa and Aku boots are excessively robust (combat or elite for example) and are the most used at the military level. Great video!

Great video concept! Maybe we look at the same scenario but with a budget? Like you have to get a basic edc setup (e.g., knife, multitool, flashlight, other - wallet, watch, etc.) for under $100, $250, and $500.

G'day Aaron, .... mate ...... I dont even want to think about "if I lost all my gear" lol. Mind you with all the natural disasters in recent times there must be many folks in that situation : ( Some very cool choices there that make a lotta sense. A quality power bank would have to be up there too IMO. I reckon it'd take me a month just to narrow the field in many categories, but a Recon 1 drop point in S35 and a Thrunite TC12 V2 are NOT negotiable from an EDC perspective. Cheers Duke.

My seven edc items are. I have a friend that had a outdoor hiking gear Alpaca expedition outfitters hat. Right now Kershaw leek Skelotool NEBO lights Hand crafting bifold wallet. Work boots are Justin’s Fitness shoes are ASICS kayano Pack is right waymark gear mile but hoping they do an edc pack soon. Garmin vivoactive 4s. I’ve also been thinking about upgrading to the one of the instincts models.

Great video! Also what is that knife with the orange handle in the background shelf? Have a great new year!

I am just starting haha. Just got a Spyderco Para 3 LW, Nitecore Tini 2, Apple Watch Ultra, Nomad card holder. Need a multitool but don't know which one to get. Don't want a big chunky one so maybe the leatherman micra?

Happy New Year Aaron and GT Family! • Mini flashlight (rechargeable) • Leatherman (blackened Charge or Surge) • Alpaka pouch (Utility) • Vivobarefoot (PLIII or a boot) • Sporran (Day or Hunting)

I'm a refugee from Russia. And I actually have to rebuild my EDC kit among other things. So, thank you for an advice! P.S. In a new country, I instantly got a Mora Basic 511, with carbon steel blade.

You should check out the GOAT multi-tool, it has a Really impressive setup.

Like your picks do a budget 1 like if you lost everything in a fire and were on a budget. My no budget EDC would be a little different not much of a watch guy so I'd switch that out that slot for a fixed blade probably a Esse or bark river and I'd change the hat out for a decent first aid kit

Hmm. That is a nice thought experiment what would I start with if it became necessary to rebuild my edc. What is included in my edc? I need to do some serious thinking.

The earth g10 is sweet, BUT… one crucial flaw in your thinking for this scenario. You need to be able to actually buy one. Good luck with the earth. There’s one used one on eBay right now, $400. Nobody has one new in stock. Sure, you can find them on various forums and whatnot, usually for crazy prices. But for me one of my requirements for an edc item is it needs to be easily replaceable. I don’t carry limited edition stuff, discontinued stuff, sentimental stuff. That’s where something like a wave shines. Lose it? In 30 seconds I can have another on order from any of 100 different places. Same goes for guns, flashlights, whatever. With that said, I’d love to add an earth to my collection, just picked up an orange g10 this week actually. But it would be a collector not a user.

How do you store your hats? I recently built a new all black EDC: Casio GWB5600BC, Klarus E3, Fenix E01v2.0, Real Steel Cormorant Apex, Ruike P801SB, Sog PowerPint, Victorinox Huntsman, black phone case. For storage i need to get the black version of the Mil-Tec tactical fanny pack, wich i have in OD green.
