I hate shopping for clothes. I took a chance on Off The Grid pants in the same size as my normal jeans. Couldn’t be happier. Seriously, just buy these and never look back. Ended up buying three pairs of the Trailblazer 5.0 taper pants and the Over N Out Hybrid shorts are absolutely amazing summer shorts. Soooo comfortable. I also have Havok shorts which are durable and comfortable like the Trailblazer pants. Thunderbolt shirt is pretty cool too. Like I said, I hate shopping and when I found these, I just bought a bunch. Been wearing for over a year and is now my preferred brand. Good customer service too if you have fit issues.
I have an always changing Amazon wish list that I throw stuff in when I want it but don't need it right away. My wife will go there and pick stuff anytime she needs an idea for a gift for me
I need me some edc shirts. One of the things I enjoy about my chef coats at work is the bicep pocket. Its a little pen sized pocket. But its very convenient for as you might guess, pens/markers. Or in the line of work thermometers. Add to that a little microfiber sewn on the inside/underneath for cleaning phones/glasses.
On the topic of EDC pants (or shorts)I’ve picked up a number from Tru Spec, their 24/7 models have dedicated knife or flashlight pockets and are very comfortable.
Belt pouch looks awesome- and that guided field sharpener is one of the best bang 4 the buck - have 3 - end up using it daily - sharpen all the blades for the guys at work 👊👊👊🔥💥👍- great vid man
Have you ever made a video to present your black ring on your finger ? I've already seen this type of ring on another youtube channel, with an escape tool inside, to free oneself from handcuffs. Do you have this too? If anyone has a link to the video presenting it, please write it in the comments. And where can we buy this ?
All my pants have now been @offthegridsurplus for the last 3 years and i totally recommend them always. I am glad they are on the list. Thank you for your hard work. Love the channel !
Got my Wazoo belt last December and have been wearing it everyday since then. It's awesome! And it holds up well with my CCW. The Tuff Possum pouch looks cool; I may need to pick up one of those.
Last second gift Ideas, I dig the Watch Boxes. I am looking forward it the Armory with the swapable pegs. I Appreciate the Awesome Content Bro! I got my Father's Day gift Early since I will be at Scout Camp next Sunday. kids got me the new Rite in the Rain Bolt-Action Pen (The $30 version). It is about time RITR got in the bolt action game.
My dad died the day after father's day last year. It'll be a year already since he died in a couple weeks. I still watch these videos but it's hard man.
EDC pants are becoming a must for traveling due to the continued rise in pickpocketing. Beware crowded areas where people are jostling each other. If you don't have a zippered pocket, at least put your wallet or billfold in your front pocket where it will be more difficult to steal. Several friends recently visited Europe and were targets of pickpockets. One was getting onto a bus when he "felt something" and looked down to see someone with their hand in his pocket.
Great video. I appreciate your insight. I love it. I hope that you continue to provide your insights into EDC gear. My only worry is for you. I don't know you and you don't know me. That said. I have observed you for many years. You helped me through the health issues that kept me wheelchair-bound. I have recovered now but I am worried about you. I worry that you are struggling with your channel and what you want to do going forward. You have tried to reinvent your channel many times to evolve to where you want to be. I hope you will settle on your goal going forward. I am a fan and just want you to find your true passion. Are you happy with what you are doing?...your comments suggest that you are not. Pulling for you buddy! Gary
I wanted to like my cache belt so much, but if you're rocking a dad bod, the buckle will hurt your belly eventually when sitting. For hicking it is ok I guess.
I noticed you're wearing the bigidesign Ti field watch with the canvas strap. I'm assuming you have fairly large wrists so how the hell are you able to have enough leftover strap to fold it over and tuck it? Mine BARELY reaches the second loop let alone be able to tuck it and I've got pretty average size wrists if not on the smaller side.
511 Coalition pants were EDC before there were companies trying to sell specifically EDC pants. Seems kind of gimmicky to me. I recently bought the scout carry straps off Carry Commission best investment in a while. Would definitely like a black or brown rough out pair. What’s the chances you’ll be making any?

You can get a pair of 4 inch irwin vice grips for about $10. It can do anything a knipex can do and more and it rivals the quality. Vise grips fold down smaller and weigh about the same as knipex. For the money that is insane value and they always get a smile cause theyre the "cute" version of the original.
Or $125 for a driver, or $42 for a pair of tiny pliers. I shouldn’t judge however, I’ve paid up for some knives. Either way, my dad wouldn’t understand any of it. He’d think I lost my mind.
This version of the pants are $72. Our newest version because we are now sourcing our cotton in the US and our zippers in the US are now $98 a piece but on our pre-order you get a deal.
Hey Taylor! Great video, love the channel, keep it up. Since you were making light of it, I feel like you may be missing the point on the key copying issue. It's VERY easy to copy a key from photo. You can get the info you need by putting a screenshot into Microsoft Word, you don't need advanced skills. If someone is willing to go through the effort to find you, copying a key would be the simplest part. You should be wary of parasocial relationships making people think they know you, maybe people you don't want to know, or don't want your children exposed to. But possibly even more importantly, you're a public figure and it's not always all about you. By covering your keys in a video, you help spread the message that we should all be more conscious about when we have our keys exposed in any public space, which could help save someone else from having their privacy violated, or worse.
I feel you are getting out of the EDC "every day carry" idea, OR I am just out of touch, EDC to me is something you use every day, these "trophy knives" and tools are awesome, but for every day use, c'mon. Being from the UK, obviously we don't have the same advantages you have, but, I own X2 Ifixit driver kits, that cost less than one of those titanium drivers!!

Wow! Thank you for the kind words about the Belt Pouch! Glad you enjoy it.
The belt pouch is in my cart on your site and i will get it for myself as a father's day gift :D

We do the same. That way we get something we really like and it is still somewhat of a surprise.
@@tonyrome655 yeah you just have to fight the urge to not look lol
My father passed 2 years ago,I’m here out of curiosity and your content rocks👍🏻It’s definitely difficult when Father’s Day rolls around.
My old man passed in 2021, keep your head up and make ‘em proud.
I need me some edc shirts.

My current precision screwdriver is a HOTO tools 24 in 1 precision set. It's got an aluminium body and has almost every conceivable bit you'd need
This is how I shop for my dad! ... Last minute and in need of some good ideas 😅
This is the way 😂
I haven't tried the 5.11 Off The Grid pants, but I wear their Apex pants nearly daily. They're my absolute favorite.
Got my Wazoo belt last December and have been wearing it everyday since then. It's awesome! And it holds up well with my CCW.
The Tuff Possum pouch looks cool; I may need to pick up one of those.
Wooo Thank you!!!!!!!!
please start showing some clips of you wearing the products you showcase as we would during edc! Thank you!

I got my Wazoo Cache Belt from the original Kickstarter in 2016. I still think it’s pretty cool.
I got my step dad a buck canoe knife not sure if hell use but i know hell appreciate it, hes an oldschool kinda guy
I dig your belt.

Oh, definitely getting my Pops that belt

This is funny because it was fathers day when this came out, where I live in Europe
HOTO-P1 is the best precision screwdriver for the money.
Check out the Vertx Defiance Jeans been wearing them for years and they are Soooooo comfortable.

11:22 80’s called and want their Fanny pack returned
This is crazy, i was researching edc pants .😂😝🖖🏼
Sick list, I love or would love anything from this video! 🤘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great vid thanks Taylor. Are the off the grid pants the trailblazer 5.0?
Wish my dad was in to edc stuff
Taylor are you doing any meet and greets in NC ?
Hey brother!
Did the purge part 2 ever happen for wallets and other items etc?
I noticed you're wearing the bigidesign Ti field watch with the canvas strap. I'm assuming you have fairly large wrists so how the hell are you able to have enough leftover strap to fold it over and tuck it? Mine BARELY reaches the second loop let alone be able to tuck it and I've got pretty average size wrists if not on the smaller side.
A small waterproof zip on that belt would be better than Velcro
What was the fishing reel you mentioned?
My dad is dead. my family doesn’t buy me shit! I’m watching for myself! 😮😊😅
Enjoy your videos! Do you have one on a tshank or jigsaw blade handle? i cant find anything and think it would be great edc.

Cowabunga.! Cheers TM.
need to know what watches those are!!!!
RZE, they make all-titanium watches. By total coincidence, the one on my wrist is the Big Idea Design Ti Field Watch, also made by RZE. 🤣
where can i get the cap?
Cool and interesting pieces of gear as always but question, where’s the desk from?🤔
IKEA 🤣 But they don’t have this table top anymore
Does it come included the watch box
What brand are those watches on the beginning of the video?
Why do we have to wait until the fall to find out why we need the water purification bag and iodine tablets? @21:10
It’s a secret 🤣
Honestly, the plan isn’t fully fleshed out yet
De Sanderson te recomiendo los audiolibros en inglés, es el mismo actor en todos los libros del universo Cosmere. Si te gusta Mistborn, con Stormlight Archive vas a flipar
do you have merch store?
Not too late. My country celebrates on June 27th.
WHat watch you wearing?
What is the watch with the orange face sitting in the display case ?
RZE Supercompressor
Where do you get your patches from?
You can get a pair of 4 inch irwin vice grips for about $10. It can do anything a knipex can do and more and it rivals the quality. Vise grips fold down smaller and weigh about the same as knipex. For the money that is insane value and they always get a smile cause theyre the "cute" version of the original.
Yess...KKnipex 😉👍👍👍
What watch is that that you have on ..
There is no way that I would pay 128 for a pair of pants. Cool looking jeans though.
Or $125 for a driver, or $42 for a pair of tiny pliers. I shouldn’t judge however, I’ve paid up for some knives. Either way, my dad wouldn’t understand any of it. He’d think I lost my mind.
This version of the pants are $72. Our newest version because we are now sourcing our cotton in the US and our zippers in the US are now $98 a piece but on our pre-order you get a deal.
Where does everyone find hook-and-loop patches? It seems like 99% of cool patches are iron-on.
Big idea bit bar link doesn’t work.
Thanks for the heads-up. My short domain expired. Should be good in a minute 😅
🎉
Is it weird I’m watching to shop for myself?
👍🍻
The off the grid pants are nice but are to snug on ur thighs wished they made a relaxed fit but they don't.
Thanks for the feedback. We are always updating our products and I will look at this spec and see where we can improve for the future.
is it just me and my phone or is the audio on this video just off a little?
Knipex
my brain sees you as a separate person from your hair, it's confusing
We know that a knight uses a knife.
Why would Knipex not be pronounced the same way?
Because it’s a German company

Just because something costs more (or less) than what you’re used to doesn’t remove it from a category. That’s a really odd sentiment.
I hate that Knipex is pronounced with a K. Great tools but whyyyyyy!
Because they’re German…
Shootout @projectfarm
