Thanks! And both are great! I’ll carry an extra keychain with a bunch of random stuff if I have a bag but my normal keychain is just house key, car key and mail key. Thanks for taking a look!!
Very true, I do typically have another flashlight on me as well (besides my phone) so this is a true back up in this case. Appreciate you checking it out!!
I've not seen those tinder cards! Ive got hella drier lint to make fire starters - never thought about cards... And I've got a paper press. Ty for the idea! I carry tins in my coats, but not on my person. Heck, I pulled 2 and a water purification kit out of my anorak to water proof it to be ready for mushroom hunting season. May have to try edcing one on my person!
Nice! I haven’t tried making them in this form factor but seems like it should be easy enough. And cool, what gear do you use the most out of your tins? I’m fishing for ideas haha Thanks for watching!
@@UncommonEDC so far, not much. Some of the tinder items. Those are more for being caught out alone and the rest of my crap is either too far or grew legs and peaced out 🤣
Gotcha, an exclusive fire kit would be a fun one to make, I have one with just home made tinder and another I made into a two wick candle but no fire source in either haha. Thanks!
Hey, thanks vor the video quiet interesting kit, I like the customized Tin. Started watching your pouch videos but watched most of your subscription and knife videos lately as well. Since I'm living in Germany the knife laws are very strict and you are only allowed to carry one handed slip joints or knifes which need two hands to open, so fortunately most knifes you show are not legal here. While I still like all the other knifes i would be very interested in seeing the slip joints in your collection if there are any. Keep it going, really like your content!
Thanks so much! I don’t have a ton of slip joints in my collection, the two notable ones I’ve done are the Notorious EDC Kingpin and the Tactile Bexar. Definitely want to do more modern slip joints in the future though. Thanks for the support! 🙏
Thanks for the tag and shout out! Great tin and loadout! I've been making and carrying tins for awhile, and they evolve all the time! Just did a "survival" one too lol Excited to see how yours changes. That tin looks great!
@@UncommonEDC Also, if you find some or come across someone producing them, I'd buy those countycomm finger drivers by the pound! Love that little doodad!
Cool tin, Jake. I've got one set up about the same way, but I never carry it. I've found I can carry just about the same stuff in a Zero Feud soft wallet, which is more pocket friendly/comfortable than the tin. I also have another ZF pouch in red that I use as a boo-boo kit. Thataway, I can make it an exclusive first aid kit and carry more utility gear in the other pouch. Great video.
Thanks! That’s been my experience also, that you can carry nearly the same amount but it’s more organized and accessible in a pouch. I have been meaning to make a smaller dedicated first aid kit as I always either just throw bandaids into my regular edc pouch or with a separate but huge oversized first aid kit haha. Thanks for checking it out and for sharing what you carry!!
Thanks. And definitely, I am planning on doing a bunch of random testing videos showing that type of stuff in action at some point but if I don’t get to it soon maybe I can make a short of that one in particular for ya.
Want an affordable To Pen to try. I feel sure the We Cyrinx To Pen will fit in the Altoid size tin horizontally an it appears to have just a bit more girth than the Amazon choice. Takes a especial refill but comes with 2 extras and o rings also several ano options.
Those flat fresnel lenses are great for starting fires, and in most cases they work better than traditional lenses. They're also commonly found as bookmarks for help reading small print.
would love if you could 3d print one of those discontinued bit drivers, been looking for one to use with the Leatherman ratchet driver but nobody else makes them
Yeah, seems like it would be easy enough to make just need to get a 3D printer which probably won’t happen for awhile as I’m saving for Blade Show Atlanta. I wonder if there is a service out there that will 3D print special requests, I would think so but have never looked. Thanks for watching!
Since this is EDC, I'd definitely ditch the spark wheel to save up some space. I'd also ditch the patches, but if you want to keep them and still be able to close the tin fully then replace the whole write-in-the-rain pad with one or two sheets of paper torn from it, as I doubt you'll have need for the entire pad, as well as a regular piece of paper folded to fit. Maybe add an adhesive bandage or two, and some OTC medications like aspirin or allergy pills to fill up some of the space you created by removing or replacing items.
Good ideas. Definitely going to end up ditching the patches or at least putting them on the outside. Also will add a first aid component. Thanks for checking it out and for the feedback!
@@UncommonEDC Another "tool" you could easily add without taking up a lot of room would be those paper tape measures from IKEA. Can even cut it down to only a foot or 30cm, or at full length trim it thinner and just as high as the walls of the tin and wrap-fit it to the inside walls (inner "circumference")of the tin. Or simply fold it to fit though that would leave creases.
Nice! Sorry though, don’t think I have any good suggestions for either. Gorilla glue makes single use super glue but if your looking for regular glue, I can’t think of any tiny bottles/sticks.
Stationary type gear isn’t really my forte but something that might work, try looking up Scotch Pop-Up Tape Refills on Amazon, there’s a dispenser they go with buy without the dispenser they are very compact and a nice shape for an Altoid tin.
Of course, it was a fun challenge even though I ended up cheating on the pouch 😂 Thanks as always for the support and putting together the challenge! 👊🏼 (also weird about the comment not showing!)
Love the black and green! One of my favorite color combos😎👍
Thanks, mine too! 👊🏼
Custom tin turned out pretty cool. Lots of good stuff in there too. I carry those tweezers and clippers on my keys and they get a ton of use.
Thanks! And both are great! I’ll carry an extra keychain with a bunch of random stuff if I have a bag but my normal keychain is just house key, car key and mail key. Thanks for taking a look!!
That OLight just has 30 minutes of runtime. Abysmal for a true emergency where you don't have another flashlight for whatever reason. Nice kit!
Very true, I do typically have another flashlight on me as well (besides my phone) so this is a true back up in this case. Appreciate you checking it out!!

Love the little pen, could you do a short video of the grim workshop fire tinder? The flat one you had on the bottom?
Thanks. And definitely, I am planning on doing a bunch of random testing videos showing that type of stuff in action at some point but if I don’t get to it soon maybe I can make a short of that one in particular for ya.
@@UncommonEDC Sounds great either way, would watch both!

Nice, that does look like a really good one, especially at the price. Thanks!
I’m not fiscally responsible 😂
😭😭
Best way to describe us all! 😂
Those flat fresnel lenses are great for starting fires, and in most cases they work better than traditional lenses. They're also commonly found as bookmarks for help reading small print.
Good idea on the bookmark. And that’s good to know, I definitely want to try one as a fire starter at some point. Thanks!
@@UncommonEDC First time I came across them was at Barnes and Noble selling them as bookmarks.
👍
A very cool idea! Great video 👍
Thank you 🙏

True, I brought one home to keep in a pouch at one point, the only problem is which pouch is it in 😭
I am assembling a stationary EDC kit. Please suggest -
1) Smallest glue stick or liquid glue bottle
2) Small paper stapler
Nice! Sorry though, don’t think I have any good suggestions for either. Gorilla glue makes single use super glue but if your looking for regular glue, I can’t think of any tiny bottles/sticks.
@@UncommonEDC Ok bro
Thank you for replying
Please suggest small sized transparent sticky tape

@@UncommonEDC anytime bro..Thank you for joining in! Yeah some comments I’ve been posting haven’t been showing weird
My tin is medical based
That may turn out to be what makes the most sense but we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for looking!
