Great to see that you've added a knife to your kit. I myself can't imagine leaving the house without a pocket knife. My current EDC knife is a Spyderco Grasshopper(used to be a Bug until I "lost" it at the airport) that I keep on my keychain, which in addition to my keys holds a small bladeless multitool(Flathead screw driver and bottle opener, fine for splitting open the occasional taped box on its own if I'm deprived by circumstance of an actual blade) and a custom dog tag imprinted with my name, cell phone number, and an offer of a reward if the keychain is found and returned fully intact.
My EDC evolved past 10 years, I have a generic brand wallet that just holds my cards and some cash, bought this nice carabineer that holds my keys (home+work+gym/CVS cards), this year changed back to Android after two years with iPhone bought a 200$ Redmi Note 7 and it does everything my previous phones did, and my Skullcandy wireless earbuds .... I stopped wearing my Apple watch after switching to Android
Driving that Honda like Teddy Bulbasaur. Those keys aren't sexy but EDC is about tailoring stuff to *your* needs. A little surprised Brock didn't go for a Swiss Army Knife Bantam. If the Alox version had a key ring it would be perfect.
Two suggestions: Zippo® Engraved Name Money Clip & Credit Card Case - #16199 - very inconspicuous front pocket carry holds 4 cards in the sleeve, and I add a fifth to the money clip if I am not packing a thick fold of cash. I have also carried the Fisher Space Pen #400, chrome finish, in front left pocket for 10+ years. Compact & reliable !!!
I don’t go anywhere without a pocket knife. My first one was given to me 28 years ago, from my father in law (recently passed away) and I’ll pass on 2 simple rules that he taught me. 1) it should be sharp- “nothing more dangerous than a dull knife” 2) “always cut towards the other guy”. Never cut yourself with your own knife. You’re welcome.😊
Pitaka and nomad cases are VERY good. If you want a thin phone case Pitaka cases work VERY well. They are made of kevlar and I have been nothing but happy with it for 2 years now. Nomad cases are a bit bulkier. But, I have enjoyed the leather cases they offer. Overall Pitaka cases have been my favorite, and do a very well job for protecting for drops and scratches.
My EDC carry starts with my S7 Edge which lives in an Otterbox Defender case. I've always had Android. Second is my wallet, a regular OLD wallet, I've had since before I got married, 30+ yrs ago. And pockets usually have my Kershaw knife, it's not as small as yours, but it's assisted open, and a dual blade, the first part is regular with saw teeth on the inner section of the blade. It rides next to my flashlight. I usually carry a small powerfull flashlight with me. Especially in the fall-winter, when it gets dark earlier. These days I've also astarted carry a spare min USB cord, and a small wall wart with me, I've run into situations where I've needed to charge my phone but can't because I don't have a wall charger or cord. So now I carry one. Cord is useful for using in a car if needed. My watch rotates between my older Aus Zenwatch 2 and a really old Timex Ironman, Which is dying, so a replacement is in the works. Not another digital watch this time.
Hair is looking awesome now. I've never really thought of carrying a pocket knife, but seeing yours makes me feel I need one! My current everyday carry is just my smartphone, my car keyless remote, a minimalist wallet (very similar to yours, but I don't carry any kind of money, just 4 cards), a wristwatch, and eyeglasses (myopia).
Hey Broc! You mentioned that you'd link an affordable alternative to the Anson Cash Wallet. But I don't see it in the description. Could you please update. Really looking for a new wallet.
on 2 different occasions I have had to surrender my pocket knife at an airport (because I forgot I had it) so I haven't carried one in a while but I do carry a fountain pen because I hate being caught without a way to jot down a quick note. 2 or my favorites are the jinhao 51a with the hooded nib and the Lamy safari because they are inexpensive (so loosing them is not a concern) and light weight.
Try out the Harber wallet. Cost me 30 quid, veg tan, fits about 6 cards easily (I'm scared of stretching out the leather) and has felt on the inside so that cards slide out super nicely. Mine has patinaed really nicely quite quickly.
My EDC is similar, including a small knife, currently a Spyderco. I like my iPhone SE w/case, much more comfortable size, in a belt case or a dedicated phone pocket. Major differences are: no ear buds, small LED flashlight, regular wallet from Big Skinny and no sunglasses since my prescription glasses are Transitions. I like your keychain choice. I need to improve mine. Thanks for posting.
Great EDC ideas and awesome Rolex. Interesting Kershaw Cinder, I carried the Leatherman Micra on my keychain for years using the knife and tools daily it never let me down. Do you use a preferred pen or pencil?
i think that this is a decent list. but i also believe that an EDC is not complete without a bottle of water. my EDC: water bottle, small scissors and knife, keys, umbrella, tissue paper & wet wipes, power bank, charger, cables, earpiece, medicines, hand sanitiser, double-sided tape, measuring tape, shoe horn, comb, hair wax, sunscreen, sunglasses, wallet and phone!
@@timetravellingbunny3952 lol if that works for you, why not 😂 I carry this many things because I need them from time to time. And they fit comfortably in one bag so it isn't that much of a hassle
Brock, love the videos your guidance on how to dress has been very impactful on my wardrobe. Can you do a video on HOW to shop? Do you browse online or go to stores? How do you find good deals? How do you know what brands are quality and which are not. -thanks man
Brock I've recently discovered the best way to carry my EDC. Empty all the pockets and carry the Aer Day Sling 2. You really need to check it out. The day sling is perfect for holding my wallet, keys, iPhone, battery bank, Field Notes, sunglasses and reading glasses, earbuds, Altoids and chapstick. Very modestly priced at only $65. You've got to check it out.....and oh yeah...you're welcome !
I carry the Aer Tech Sling as my everyday bag, but I find that it's pretty easy to carry the gear shown in this video without a bag, if I clip the keys to my belt loop.
Great video! One question - where do you carry all of this? Do you normally hang the keys from your side like you showed? Which pocket for which thing? I'm always changing around which pockets I use, and I don't know that I've found a great solution (other than using a suit jacket for my phone/wallet when I'm wearing one, but you can't always be wearing a suit jacket, unfortunately).
Yeah, that's kind of why I'm holding out buying a nice watch. With today's tech I use my apple watch as a replacement for my phone in some settings because you can get emergency work emails etc on it and run to a phone or whatever. I'm sure there will always be a market for luxury watches, but I'd be curious to see what he thinks will happen down the line. Would Rolex ever be forced to come out w/ something in the future?
Hi Brock, When is the hair style changing? You haven't really done anything with the long hair, seems to me it's still in the growing out phase. Any plans of tidying it up and going for any particular style?
I remember an old video of your where you were wearing the Seiko SNk807, do you still have it ? Also, HONDA, my man ! ;) Also do you really carry all this ? I think it`s overkill. I just carry my phone, an watch, keys yes, and a minimal similar wallet. Edit; I stand corrected, yours is minimal as well. the EDC, I mean.
I sold the 807 but still rock the Hamilton Khaki, which is similar! Yup, I drive an absolute beater haha. I carry all of this, but not always the headphones, and the glasses are usually on my head, so it’s not much in the pockets.
@@BrockMcGoff I absolutely love your look. It exactly what I want, but the it`s hard for me find nice fitting shirt and chinos. Usually I have them tailored, but the result still are meh. Keep uploading !
at Jasper - depends on if its his Urban EDCB or his Rural EDCB... going into Rural requires weapons for hunting and self defense.. going into city to get food requires a wallet and money.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on Fanny packs that's trending. I'm thinking of getting something to carry these edc items. Something more casual rather than the messenger work bag.
So one thing I'd like to advise even though you said you wanted a bottle opener and youre not really a knife guy, please look in to the Kizer sheep dog Mini it is a wonderful knife heres mine. It doesn't have a bottle opener but its very tiny my version came with a super steel or just a great every day steel, s35vn mine is also customized. Just for comparison it is sitting on my Trayvax contour imgur.com/a/7C6j5T9
Just FYI... knowing you are in the NYC area, you should know that the knife you have is illegal inside the city. No locking blades of any length are permitted.
Good to know! I’ve been living in AZ where you can carry guns around no problem. Crazy how different the laws are in the same country. (Edit: I don’t carry or own a gun.)
@@Coopsickle Not according to the law in NYC. They ban all locking blades of any length. Now... would a cop actually do something if they frisk you? Not likely.
@@brennanfee7458 the law is right there for you to read. It's not about the length it's about the type of knife and regular small pocket knives aren't banned. Literally read it.
One thing I'd like to know every time there is any EDC content: Where do you carry these things? What pockets do you use for what etc.?
Phone in front right pocket; wallet back left; keys clipped to belt loop; headphones in front left; glasses on head, watch on wrist 👌🏼
Front left: phone
Front right: knife, flashlight
Back left: usually empty

You should put a Nomad black leather case on your airpods.

Apple is rumored to release a smaller 5.4 model next year! Also, one question, your thoughts about owning an apple watch over regular watches
