    Victorinox needs to rethink the toothpick slot. We can easily carve a toothpick from a stick. We cannot just carve up a ferro rod. They need to make it official by giving each model an option to have ferro rod, or I would like to see a tiny diamond blade sharpener rod fit in the toothpick slot.👍😁

      The toothpick has more uses than just picking one's teeth. The ridge is used to open stubborn tools (like the awl), especially if keeping one's nails thin. The toothpick can also be used to undo some types of zip ties. And I saw a bunch more creative ideas on RUclips.

    Hello Jon, I really appreciate your opinions and your style of presentation! Thank you!
    I have a couple of items you might find interesting. First, for your bolt action pen that takes a Parker refill, you might like the Fisher Space Pen pressurized refill which fits any Parker pen too (as well as Rotring too). You have to get ahold of a little adapter to convert the Fisher to Parker, but they often come with the Fisher refills. Those refills write any where, even on wet paper, and they break-in to a very smooth, superior writing experience.
    The other thing you might not know about is that the SAK carrying (parcel) hook can hold any Bosch style jig saw blade under the itself when the back of the blade is set into the trough of the hood and the hook is (partially) closed over it. It helps to wrap a little tape around the base of the blade to widen it, but that's not necessary. The carrying hook holds the saw blade really securely and the saw blade can be used fully! (There are videos showing the details so I won't try to describe it any more here).
    I hope these ideas are helpful to you and others. Thank you again for the wonderful, inspirational and useful videos!

    Great video Jon. Instead of a beanie, what I use is a bandana/neck gaiter so I can carry less, and increase usability.
    - Turn into a beanie if my head gets cold
    - face covering for minor pollutants (ie., someone mowing the lawn)
    - hankerchief for my nose, or sweat (just dump in the wash after)
    - cloth for wiping whatever else.
    Can get a merino wool one for more warmth, or just a stretchy polyfibre one for warmer days.

    Jon - The Belroy Venture sling should have a square black tag inside that has a secret slot designed specifically to hold an AirTag. That’d free up the pocket you’re using now for other gear. BTW - Another bald guy here with so many of the same things in my EDC, many from my own experience (like the Arc’Teryx Rho beanie and/or a Buff which I keep rolled up in one of the end pockets of my 7L Venture Sling), and a few I’ve learned about through being a loyal subscriber to your channel, like the Victorinox Compact, Aurora A8, Nitecore NB10k carbon fiber powerbank, inCharge X and more. Keep up the good work, mate. You’re the best in the business in my opinion.

    Another great video and one that answers a question I posted in relation to your Thai trip video regarding alternatives to AirPod Pro earbuds - I’m now going to check out those Soundcore Liberty 4 goodies. As a long-time user of Arc’ products I’d recommend their gear for wet weather and hiking purposes and that merino beanie looks the part too. I also shave my head and I find beanie hats slip off during the first 24hrs after I shave, so to address this I usually wear a fleece Nike ACG cap instead until my bonce gets a bit stubbly again. Finally, that Belroy wallet looks like my first iPhone case with it’s orange pull-tab so I’ll have to find that ow so I too can store my cards and similar sized EDC in it too…

    Another great video. Thanks. I have used your advice to build my own sling bag set up and refined it on several trips this year. I have been looking for a TSA friendly multitool and failing to find one I modified my own. I bought a used Leatherman Micra and ground the knife blade down to a standard screwdriver/small pry tool. First flight I let TSA know what I had and they looked it over and waived me through. Second flight they took my word for it and third flight it didn't even get flagged. I carried a small padded envelope and stamps in case it didn't pass and I needed to mail it home. Glad I had it as I needed it on the last flight. Thanks for the inspiration!

      Hello Bulldogs! I would try the victorinox jetsetter or Gerber dime (bladeless edition). In my country we are not allowed knives at all just for EDC so i have done a little bit of research :) Not sure if TSA allows small scissors so check that.

    • @1982Bulldogs
      @1982Bulldogs 9 месяцев назад

      Thanks. I did pick up a Jetsetter and while good for what it is, it's more basic than what I was looking for. I chose the Micra as I couldn't find a Dime Traveler, or Style PS for a reasonable price for the experiment. The TSA website says scissors less than 4" from the pivot point are allowed in carry on bags. So, hopefully I'm good for US flights, but I suppose I will have to check when travelling internationally. @@corvus4eomer

    That water bottle's pretty cool for that type of bag. A water bottle is an important piece of gear a lot of these videos forget. I've been using the same Patagonia laptop backpack for over 20 years now, though, and it has two outside pockets for normal shaped water bottles (I use a Sigg bottle). I don't know what Patagonia's backpack line is like nowadays because the one they sold me way back when was so perfect and durable I may never need a new one again. And that's where my "extended EDC" goes. And I use the Maxpedition Fatty and Maxpedition Micro organizers for a lot of the gear inside it. Maxpedition was one of the hot EDC brands when I first started watching these sorts of videos, and I've stuck with 'em!

    Good choice on the different watch for mountain biking. I use to have a G-Shock when I went MTBing. I was going away for weekend riding and found my Casio was flat, so thought I’d just wear my GMT. Turns out the one thing they really don’t like is being shaken really (really) hard.. Seem to recall it cost about £700 to get it fixed, about 15 years ago. Next purchase was a nice new solar recharging G-shock. Not a mistake I’d like to replicate. Lesson learned🤣

      It survives proper heavy work use in sn environment with vibrating equipment, hand inside engine bays and dust and grit plus water.
      A similar enviroment killed my breitling.

    Following the keysmart nano clip led me to their largest key organizer, which doubles as a Multitool holder. (tools sold separately.) that led to to a few other key organizers that also have Multitool capabilities, or built in flashlights, or Bluetooth support(!) for finding it from your phone.
    Seems like there is maybe an episode or 2 to be had comparing different key organizer/multitool options. I'd be curious about your thoughts on them.

    Hi, I’ve been enjoying your channel for some time! You’ve convinced me to get a Rovyvon - as a trial I got a A1 when they switched to USB C and I loved the form factor- sadly it died within 6 or 7 weeks and I struggled to get anything out of the supplier so begrudgingly it went in the bin. With this sale I figured I’llgive them another go and got an A8 and an E5. The A8 came with a bad switch and once again I’m struggling with a response from Rovyvon direct using their CS email. I hope they’ll respond as I still like the idea, I’m just not blown away by their after sales service… maybe they’ll read this seeing they’re sponsoring you. Anyway rant over, keep up the great work! I’ve incorporated a whole heap of your suggestions in my EDC!

    I've found that the RovyVon is ridiculously finicky, but I love the NiteCore NU25 ultralite headlamp Jon has recommended. That seems to last forever charged in a kit when not used. When using regularly, the charge lasts a few days. It warns you when it needs recharging as it automatically dims itself, which is handy.

    • @JonGadget
      @JonGadget  9 месяцев назад +4

      NU25 is a great light - especially for a kit - I don't find it works for pocket carry though 😊

    • @fredfinger7092
      @fredfinger7092 9 месяцев назад +1

      My RovyVon Aurora A8 (1st gen I believe) was also "finicky" - often dead when I needed it (no lockout mode), lost the USB cover more than once, then the charging port broke loose from its mount. I LOVE the features of the light but my day is just too rough for it. I went back to an Olight i3t. A lot fewer feature but a lot tougher light.

    Great EDC setup! Are you going to upgrade your 1st Aid portion since you now have a 9 liter bag? A ziplock bag could protect your electronic items. Also, you could add a few regular size Zip ties in the pen sleeve and not have to cut them in order to fit them in the Altoids tin.

  • @paulf2529

    For me my edc is a samsung s23, a casio g shock mudmaster cwg 2000 1a1er, a swiss tool, a alox victornox limited adition pioneerx and a o light baton pro. I carry cards and cash in a grip 6 wallet.
    Nothing more and nothing less than the above, although occasionally, i will swap out the pioneer for a compact.
    When out walking in the mountains in my rucksack and in my vehicles I have many additional things but not on my immediate person.
    The edc listed is literally what I won't leave the house without.

    Great choices Jon. We can agree with most all of your EDC carry choices. The only exception would be the watches. Quality choices indeed, but we chose the Apple Watch Ultra. Not only durable, but can replace your finger ring while adding an additional communication capabilities. Since you already have the Apple iPhone, this seems to be a no brainier. Save the others for impressing those who need to be impressed. We have discovered the new BellRoy Sling from you. Good stuff. Thank you.

    • @JonGadget
      @JonGadget  9 месяцев назад +1

      The Ultra is a great option and I've been tempted many times. Part of me thinks the phone does everything with a bigger screen - apart from the health metrics of course.

    • @Tailsnpaws
      @Tailsnpaws 9 месяцев назад

      @@JonGadget I was hesitant also ŕegarding the Apple Watch Ultra purchase. Being redundant was also the issue. Bottom line: since owning the AWU...I would rather leave the phone at home and take the watch. Auto crash and fall detection are better with the watch. Siri is now responding internally on the watch for internal requests, eliminating the need to reach out to the cloud and back. Very responsive! I could go on about the durability and high quality, but I don't want to be thought of as an Apple salesman. I have no affiliation other than being a consumer of their products. Oh, one last thing...I use Visible by Verizon for their cellular service. The addition of the Apple Watch for cell connectivity is only five U.S.D. a month extra. 5 bucks a month for an additional communication device with the same number...priceless! Enjoy and thanks again.

And you've managed to do it without even ONCE using the word "tactical". In fact, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't even included a single item of any kind with explosive ballistic potential.

Which category each of my EDC items falls into depends on my day. It varies greatly between a workday when I am wearing a suit and working in an office, compared to the weekend when my clothing choice allows me to keep a lot more items On Me
