I’m a crude oil truck driver in Oklahoma. My carry is an Apple Watch Ultra, AirPod Pro, Rite in the Rain steno with a cheap Pilot pen, Case folding knife, Ridge wallet. Basic and not fancy and looking to step up my game which is why I’m here lol
A mechanic/farmer in Indiana packs a trayvax wallet, crkt homefront, Leatherman surge, Benchmade barage mini, stream light strion, o light mini( not sure what kind) and whatever tool the day calls for.
This is a great idea for a video. Big fan of USA-made gear, but as I myself live in Canada I don't think enough creators are making videos showcasing international makers. There's a huge untapped market here worth exploring, and I would definitely watch the hell out of any type of video with such a feature.
For Cole. I'd recommend the Reylight pineapple mini in titanium with the new raised tailcap. It's within the budget and I can't keep it out of my pocket
Just got a powerpint in black to complete my black edc. and it feels stronger and a more complete multitool cause I have two dimes and a gerber armbar and of course some victorinox but the power pint it's been the best recommendation, I ve been following your path for about 4 to 5 years now and I really enjoy your content keep the great job
What's up with this obsession with the SOG Powerpint. I see it in gear submissions, you've also talked multiple times about it. Does Leatherman not make better quality tools that still meet the size prefferences? I might just have to get one just to see what this fuss is about. I do get the fact that sizewise it sits right between a rebar and a PS4, but I doubt a rebar sized MT would be uncomfortable to carry +there's always the juice series.
Taylor, I really appreciate the reviews and info. you regularly present.. Living in the southeast USA I have often had to stop wearing a watch because (in thr heat) the band iritated my skin.. Do you have suggestions for a good, and importantly - a breathable, watch/watch band. Thanks.
@@BestDamnEDC The Laulima Hoku or Ion Slim would probably fit the bill too, but also not cheap. There are aluminum versions though that are less spendy and still look really nice.
I was told by a watchmaker that steam is really tough on watches, even if they are waterproof. He recommended not wearing in showers, saunas, etc. Just use a cheap watch in those environments and to change the seal every time a watch is opened to ensure it stays waterproof.
Just found you. SUb’d and watching all your vids. My edc is chaotic and a mixed bag of quality and price. After some reflection, Im in the market for a pen, multi tool with ratchet attachment , and a waist bag/bum bag. Looking for one that will suit my job as a healthcare worker. Keep the content coming!!
For the guys looking for watch and light recommendations, I would like to add Shinola made in Detroit MI and Lum Tec made in Mentor OH. although neither have Ti options. Secondly I cant recommend Zebraight enough. Even thought they arnt made in the USA or Ti they are amazing working lights with a focus on quality light output and emitters.
I see edc folks carrying these coins and “death cookie” type things. What are they and why would you carry something like that? Doesn’t seem to have a purpose to me or maybe I just don’t understand what they are. Any helps understanding would be appreciated
To the guy asking about the titanium watch, check out the Borealis Icarus. Microbrand out of Portugal with Swiss movement for a little less than a Khaki.
The Chemicals from the industrial dishwashers are caustic, and hes lucky that his Apple watch has held up this long. I use a Garmin Instinct whilst actually repairing these Industrial dishwashers .
Taylor, Hey man, I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I really love the content. Since I started watching a couple of years ago, I've gone from occasionally strapping my leatherman to my belt and throwing a bulky leather wallet in pocket to buying a full brass edc, including modifying my Civivi Elementum (by swapping out for some brass scales), picking up a fischer spacepen bullet in brass and a brass reylight pineapple. Now I'm waiting on a custom brass wallet that I bought from a couple of guys in Croatia. Keep up the great content! I'm looking forward to see what all you have for us in 2023!!!
Not fancy but I added the zebra pens to my edc love the pens dude, everyone at my job site is ordering them now that they see me with them. Not fancy or expensive but I like them.
Damn, you made me get the Nexus. It's too pretty. I've been following you since you were back at Pocket Now. Always love your videos man. Keep doing you ✌️
Reylight triple dawn is awesome and the emisar d4v2 or a kr4 are my favorite, hank has them in all kinds of metals with different finishes, but they are a little bulky.
American made titanium flashlight Lauilima Hoku. I’ve carried one for almost 2 years now and it’s been a great light. In fact, Taylor - I’d love to see you do an episode featuring their other lights as I’m looking to get one of their larger ones.
Add me to the watch list. Man that range from 250 to 1000 that isn’t Seiko or citizen is tough to find one that fits the needs or wants. Maratac seems to be a brand I’m drawn towards but am unsure of. Crazy to see it’s been brought up and your list is all I could find available too. Great video!
I have the county comm/maratac titanium field watch and it's great. Super light weight and a nice wearable size for edc at 39mm case diameter. The miyota 9015 movement is a great automatic movement for the price and all together its a great little field watch. My only complaint with it would be that it doesn't have a date window which is kinda strange imo because the miyota 9015 movement has a date wheel. There diver I think it's called the s35 maybe don't quote me but it looks really nice to me I'd like to try one of them out, it's the same movement as the field watch but it has a date window and is a bigger watch in general and it's a diver.
The lumentop fw3a is a great light, its an 18650 battery but it's not much bigger than the rovyvon a24. I believe the fw3a is the aluminum model and the fw3 is titanium. It runs on the anduril firmware so there's tons of cool stuff you can do with it. It's triple emitter, around 2500 lumens, and you can put a glow gasket in if you wanted. The aluminum models are like 40 or 45 bucks and the titanium model is around 80 or 90.
@Best Damn EDC [Taylor Martin] I didn't think it was to much bigger than the a24 but I have fairly big hands so it may feel a little smaller to me than some people lol.
@@parker-rockytopcustoms7534 I've been able to consistently find them in stock over at Mukama. It ships from Europe, but I haven't had any issues. Prices seem high at first, but you have to back out the VAT which isn't applicable to US buyers.
The inability to bring to mind CountyComm as a source for titanium pen, flashlight and watch option seems like a EDC major blind spot…maybe they just aren’t at a high enough price point? I own and use all three and they are all affordable and high quality. The stuff on this channel has been trending way up into prices outside the range of a lot of folks for some time and it’s sad because more $ sometimes doesn’t mean better.

What does a cook in chicago carry? Or a mechanic in missippi? Or a cowboy in kansas? Would love to see what other jobs in other places need.
I’d also like to see some useful edc videos…

Completely agree. I love mine 👍🏽
Reylight is great I just picked up the LAN. I prefer the AA size of lights.
Loved today's content! It was very helpful. Always trying to complete my titanium carry. Thank you for your suggestions!
Heads up for anyone looking at the Reylight LAN, both stonewash and raw Ti are in stock rn on their website
Can you do this for brass? Love brass... the patina over time. My brass pieces become sentimental as a result.
I’m slowly trying to build my EDC gear. I’m obsessed with your channel! Keep it up! Hello from Texas

A small Titanium USA made flashlight I would recommend a CWF micro click.

TM & Alex & Team. Have a great Christmas & safe New Year. Warm greetings from Christmas Island. Australia.
I like the text overlay recommendations.
Invicta have 2 versions of their Pro-diver watch in all Titanium. Was on Black Friday special under $100, now back at about $130. Waterproof to 200m!
Another watch-recomendation is a Bertucci.
Promethius light can be had at urbanedc, just a FYI.
You checked out the Nitecore 1000 lumen flashlights with LCD screen? They're quite tunuy and would fit that scenario!
Foursevens also has some titanium flashlights (preon and mini mkiii) but they are currently out of stock.
Small classy looking little secondary USA made knife, Leatherman Skeletool KB. Or KBX And VERY affordable. Love mine!
Cwf micro arcadian click is a good light
“Be careful with the watch world.”
Amen to that, brutha.
most surefire lights are in the $100-$300 range. and they are... well they are good. not exactly the nerdy edc type of flashlight, but really good.
I've been searching for a USA made AAA flashlight in black. Something similar to a micro stream light
It would be cool to see a “Made in USA” video! Maybe break it into a few price ranges too
Don't believe that it's USA made but the dapper design ion flashlight is a fantastic smaller titanium light that I love carrying!!
@Josh Steinhart Ocean One 500 Titanium or a Scurfa D1-500 in titanium. 2 great Ti dive watch recommendations. One quartz and one automatic
Zelos also makes really good titanium watches
Taylor, I really appreciate the reviews and info. you regularly present.. Living in the southeast USA I have often had to stop wearing a watch because (in thr heat) the band iritated my skin.. Do you have suggestions for a good, and importantly - a breathable, watch/watch band. Thanks.
Thank you for the info/review
USA made small flashlight: Okluma DC0
I said that but it doesn’t fit in the pouch
For the titanium flashlight I would go with the i3 eos titanium
Love the vids
Another plug for the Countycomm Maratac Ti flashlights. I think they're US made too
Hello amis 🇺🇸🫡 du EDC 💯🇺🇸 super vidéo intéressante et instructives très bon contenu 👍
What is the tactile turn knife with the axis lock?
Affordable, tough Ti watches? Bertucci.
Check out bolder watches
U inspire me bro
What’s the watch in the last one?
Prometheus Light Beta QRv2 Classic and sBeta QRv2 Classic says its Made in China on there website, not USA.
What about the CWF Micro Arcadian as a mini titanium made in USA? Not small enough?
It clearly slipped my mind lol I was still stuck in the $150 budget from the previous question
@@BestDamnEDC The Laulima Hoku or Ion Slim would probably fit the bill too, but also not cheap. There are aluminum versions though that are less spendy and still look really nice.
That dude Cole that literally stole every item from Taylor and took a pic 😂
I believe Quadlock is Australian
What knife would you suggest if wearing slacks?
I’d go with Quiet Carry Drift
Or the Tactile Rockwall
Always cry in Canadian dollars when its edc weekly time, cuz damnit it expensive up here.....pm3 regular is over 230$...
I want your hat!!
Could you imagine paying 250 bucks for a pen i couldnt haha
Ti watch: baltic Aquascaphe
Surefire Titan? Isn’t still US made
Translate
Algorithm
first pog
So now Everyone is using the SOG Powerpint. I got it and it's TRASH
Love seeing you get your passion back big guy. I too have suffered from burnout and finding you light again is priceless.
My Citzen eco drive GMT titanium watch is awesome and reasonably priced in my opinion. And the solar power never need batteries. Happy Friday
Isn't the CWF Arcadian mini USA made?
There’s an Oakley watch made in Ti, it’s def over €500 and it’s def an acquired taste but I love mine!!! 👌🏼
Super pumped to be featured man! Appreciate the suggestions!🤙🏼
I was told by a watchmaker that steam is really tough on watches, even if they are waterproof. He recommended not wearing in showers, saunas, etc. Just use a cheap watch in those environments and to change the seal every time a watch is opened to ensure it stays waterproof.
As a watchmaker myself I agree.
Agreed
Glad to see a Monta on the channel. I've daily worn the Monta Noble for about 16 months now!
Small lights: Laulima hoku, CWF micro Arcadian (twist is smaller).
Just found you. SUb’d and watching all your vids. My edc is chaotic and a mixed bag of quality and price.

For the Titanium watch under $500 get the Phoibos Apollo Titanium 300m
Citizen titanium watches is the best affordable titanium watches in the market..you wont be dissapointed..it will last you a lifetime
I'm questioning the last submission...does anyone actually edc 2 flashlights?
Can a Zaan really be broken in that much??? I cant image being able to Spidey Flick my Umnumzaan
Take a look at Zelos watches. Their ti cases are beautiful and around $500 if you can find one.
Surefire Titan. AAA EDC light
Olight Arkfeld Titanium, thoughts?
Laulima would fit that criteria, titanium, small, and made in America
what about cigar EDC for a butane lighter/punch/cutter.
Don’t forget Bertucci for titanium watches…
Tissot makes a nice looking titanium watch, but it is not an automatic.
Je suis nouveau sur votre chaîne et j'ai hâte de voir la suite de vos vidéos bjr de 🇫🇷
Avec un petit budget on peut faire un petit pack de qualité

To the people that only buy American made, why?
To support our makers and economy
May be too large, but I'm a fan of the mechtorch titanium lights

Countycomm sell alot of titanium products
For titanium flashlights made in the USA. Look at CountyComm, they have some small titanium flashlights. I daily carry their solid copper light.
