Good call on the AirTag. I have a flight bag that I keep my $900 Aviation Headset and irreplaceable logbook along with nice pens and other valuables. Found a little opening down at the bottom of the bag where I could jam the AirTag into and no one will ever find it. One thing you didn’t show is the function of literally showing you how many feet away and which direction the lost item is, not just sound. This now gives me so much more peace of mind if I were to have the whole thing stolen or misplaced it.
I am always amazed that everyone overlooks the EDC zippo refill canister keychain, holds 5 flints and enough fluid to fill the lighter several times or start a fire. Always carry it with my loss proof zippo.
@@tonyrome655 I live in Asia - the butane lighters and the refills here scare the heck out of me. At least the zippos can be used with almost anything flammable, without going up like a bomb.
I used to be about that edc life hard core like this guy. Found after 5 years I used like 30% what I carried all the time. Knife maintenance can wait till home and if I used it more I’d simply have a set for home and one for the office.
Havnt bought any gear yet but found your chanel and I love it as soon as I can afford to I'm gonna start a budget edc and slowly improve it over time thanks for your show and keep it up its bad ass
Taylor, I really love your videos and have for a long time. I think you're the Best Damn EDC content creator. I'm always finding some way to update or tweak my edc. I especially appreciate videos without gun stuff in them.
i bought the sog powerpint to be an edc multitool and was disappointed in the lack of flathead driver. so i have modded the bottle opener end to be a flathead and the file end to be a scraper/very big flathead! now its the way it should have been from the factory!😁
The Olight link didn't work for me but thanks for the heads up on the free light. Ended up spinning the wheel for a $10 coupon and which I applied to the warrior 3 bundle.
I think you actually have to buy something to get the new Olight keychain Pro. It is different from what it used to be. It says you have to buy something more than $0 dollars. Just letting you know. ☺️ Great gift guide, as usual. 👍🏼
When you find that one thing that you've really been looking for usually price isn't an option . So I completely understand how you feel about that key carry. I bet you would even spend more than what you paid for it. Just because it's something you exactly want it
I've recently gotten a Wera Kraftform Kompakt bit holder. Very similar in size as these titanium bit-drivers but IMO better/ more functional and a bunch cheaper.
Oh buddy, you have got to check out the RovyVon A4x. I too carried that Olight i1R 2 on my keychain but then switched to the RovyVon. Nearly the same size but A LOT brighter and it has two spots for tritium inserts. You have to buy the tritium separate but you can pick the color and with a drop of super glue, you've just replaced your current two danglies with one. Don't get me wrong, the Olight is great! I just think the RovyVon is better.
I just woder how you guys fill those stuffs in pants pockets. That just been a question for me last three years. I got no room after a 6.7 inch phone been putted in the pocket.
Sup fellow Hololive simp. Hardcore shrimp and EDC lover here. I wear skinny jeans and I make a good amount fit. Have one dedicated pocket for the phone. The other has a leather pocket organizer with micro- pen, micro-light (olight i1r 2 eos from vid), micro multi tool, folded notebook paper+ cash, pepper spray, and pocket knife in the other pocket. All that stuff is no more than 5 x 5 x .75 in my pocket.
So for the key holder, do you find it coming off the belt loop easily? Like from getting in and out of the car or something? Could someone easily just grab them off your belt loop if you are in a crowd?
I've watched a few of your videos and you seem to be quite the pry bar advocate. I'm curious on what you're prying so often that you need to carry a pry bar at all times? Frankly, I can't recall the last time I needed to pry something apart.
@@TheBudgetguy_K.T That would be the best option if it didn't sell out so damn fast lool I am in a FB group like that. Cheers for the idea tho, EDC is the worst hobby cause it's so easy to spend money.
5:29 Then carry a big flathead bit with you. That is what the bit driver is for! 😋 I'd be okay if they added no permanent drivers. Save those spots for things that you cannot use in your bit driver!
I've used oil stones, water stones, Lansky 5-stone Sharpener Jig, Spyderco Sharpmaker, Edgepro Apex, and the Ken Onion edition Work Sharp. BY FAR the best out of this lineup is the work sharp ken onion because its a belt sander made specifically for sharpening knives, plus you can use it to sharpen any of your other tools like axes, lawnmower blades, etc. Second place is the Lanksy system. In dead last is the edgepro. It's overpriced garbage! It has the same amount of learning curve as just plain old sharpening stones but costs way more and required more setup, space, and it can't fit in your pocket. If you're going to invest your time into learning a specific sharpening skill you should stick to water stones instead of some stupid edgepro jig that you might not have access to when you really need to sharpen a knife.
Has anyone ever told you you sound a little bit like Seth Rogan? Also I love your content, I'm a big edc person and been binge watching your videos lately, thanks for the good reviews on different edc tools you do
Well yeah that’s how they get there money! Those mini ones they probably manufacture for under 5 bucks. Seems like bullshit but I think it’s aimed as a bonus for people who are already considering spending the money on their website
@@Zordy21 I got one of their 1iR EoS 2 for 'free' (5 bucks shipped) a year ago, and I freaking LOVE it and carry it every day. Adjustable brightness, microscopic size, rechargeable, metal construction. Would be willing to pay $20+ for it easy. Favorite EDC flashlight. You won't be disappointed for having paid a bit for yours.
Great video! Definitely getting the flask and the tool mat. I was wondering what watch it is that you are wearing, I’m a watch guy and I like the way that one looks. Thanks
Great list brotha! Especially that dope flask, whoever makes that must be an epic bastard! 😜🤣. Seriously though man, great list and thanks for the shout. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I got all the way through the check out process with an NC address (without checking out) and didnt get an error message. So I assume you can buy from here. Also Best Damn is based in NC - so I assume us NC boys are good.
The paper clip key holder is cool but definitely not worth that price. I’ve used the same 4$ s-biner clip with lock for the past 7 years and have only had a handful of keys fall off.
Those tough clips are cool but why not make an aluminum or steel one and lower the price? I don't give a shi* about titanium for a key clip. 15-20 I'd buy all day long. Also, love the power pint. I ground down some stuff into a few size flat heads and it's been great.
@Best Damn EDC I remember in one of your first videos about the Ti clip you mentioned the inside end would be flared out to help with keeping the keyring secured. Did they ever implement that? Also, great video as always!
Very true- unless you know the exact knife to buy for a knife guy… don’t do it LOL. I appreciate the gifts for sure but… there are better and more meaningful options. Thanks for the video!
for my keys I don't want anything else than a keyback style keychain (with a nitecore tike torch on it besides my keys), I carry a leatherman Surge on my belt everyday. A hipflask I don't need (while this one does look good) , the sharpener is a good idea , the watch deck is a bit unnecesary for imho but I get the intention , good bits are never lost on a good handyman allthough the bitdrivers are unnecessarily over the top executed imho (wich makes them more expensive offcourse) , the knife mat is indeed usefull , as are the edc pouches , the keyfob is kinda cute but too expensive for my taste , and the use for combatbeads (or motivational velcro pads) is totally lost on me, granted the airtag is usefull ...
I don't get the issue with his keys. Just get an orbit key. Looks good, keeps things tidy and no noisy jangling. Probably cheaper than that paper clip too.
Not to be weird, but... You lose weight? Ya look good, dude. Honestly haven't really watched a video in awhile, didn't have the funds for knives and EDC gear, so I stepped away from the 'hobby' for a bit, but I'm back in it now lol.

Maybe not EDC specific, but I bought a tactile turn pen for someone in my office thats been a big asset to our projects this year.
That’s awesome! Great gift, very thoughtful.
Extremely thoughtful of you! For me, I know of a few big ‘ass’ ets at work! Have great holidays!
Shoot where can I apply?
I'm so proud as an Aussie to see Mr. Black there!
You have the best damn EDC content. Thanks for putting in the work.
That v2 driver is EXACTLY what I've been needing. A small driver with a few bits I use on a daily basis stored right there inside it
Good call on the AirTag. I have a flight bag that I keep my $900 Aviation Headset and irreplaceable logbook along with nice pens and other valuables.

My best friend got me an iridium glowing fob like a decade ago and it has been such a wonderful addition
ty for all you do for the community man
I am always amazed that everyone overlooks the EDC zippo refill canister keychain, holds 5 flints and enough fluid to fill the lighter several times or start a fire. Always carry it with my loss proof zippo.
Yep, I have never never ran out of fluid at home, always when I was out somewhere. Recently though, the Zippo I carry has the butane insert.
@@tonyrome655 I live in Asia - the butane lighters and the refills here scare the heck out of me. At least the zippos can be used with almost anything flammable, without going up like a bomb.
The Olight i1R 2 Pro is free with any purchase over $0.00. So you have to buy something else as well.
I bought one for @$18 and got the free one. So BOGO at a black Friday discount.
i think they've done a promotion in the past where it was free if you paid like $5 shipping. it's a shame they didn't repeat that
I used to be about that edc life hard core like this guy. Found after 5 years I used like 30% what I carried all the time. Knife maintenance can wait till home and if I used it more I’d simply have a set for home and one for the office.
That paperclip gadget is great. It is definitely worth $5 maybe even $10.
When he said $45 my jaw dropped

Great idea! The lack of a flathead driver has puzzled me since I started looking at the SOG. Definitely a major oversight on SOGs part.
What was the bigger pouch you have? The one you have the AirTag inside of? Thanks!
The Olight link didn't work for me but thanks for the heads up on the free light. Ended up spinning the wheel for a $10 coupon and which I applied to the warrior 3 bundle.
Since True Utility has discontinued that key shackle, have you thought about making your own for Carry Commission ?
I think you actually have to buy something to get the new Olight keychain Pro. It is different from what it used to be. It says you have to buy something more than $0 dollars. Just letting you know. ☺️ Great gift guide, as usual. 👍🏼
Yeah, I realized that between the shooting and editing of the video. RIP
@@BestDamnEDC 😂
Just bought the open pen for like $5, still not a bad deal.
Good call on the air tag. I think hanks make nice gifts too.
Any way you could tell us what knuck you had in the knife display case? Also I'd love to see your take on a list of the coolest knucks you've seen.
When you find that one thing that you've really been looking for usually price isn't an option . So I completely understand how you feel about that key carry. I bet you would even spend more than what you paid for it. Just because it's something you exactly want it
You look amazing man. Looks like you got 5yrs younger and much healthier. Nice work 🤜
I've recently gotten a Wera Kraftform Kompakt bit holder. Very similar in size as these titanium bit-drivers but IMO better/ more functional and a bunch cheaper.
Taylor; where can I get that mat shown in the thumbnail…?
Thanks!
Thank you for the gift ideas. I used your suggestion and bought 1 for each of my family.

I haven’t changed my key setup since I found the Tale of Knives Keypster. Keeps my keys higher up so they aren’t dangling half way down my leg.
what is the d ring holding the keys??? love that idea
What kind of band do you have on you’re wrist???
You can grind the PowerPint file to make a pretty decent flat screwdriver.
What is the pouch that your knife maintenance kit is in? You just said "this" without saying what it was.
What’s the name of the watch your wearing in this vid?
I'v EDCed my Swiss Champ for 36 years. So the Swiss Champ is my suggestion.
What about your truck key? Do you keep it on the clip or just alone in the pocket?
I just woder how you guys fill those stuffs in pants pockets. That just been a question for me last three years. I got no room after a 6.7 inch phone been putted in the pocket.

He had said before that he mainly uses them daily on his camera equipment. Tripod specifically, if I recall.
You don’t have to ruin your knives trying to pick and pry at stuff. Especially if your knife steel is something relatively brittle like D2
Just a FYI the flashlight is not free you need to purchase something from their site you just can't play for the Shipping
How would u rank the Swiss Victorinox super tool ?
what patch is that under the sorry not open???
Hey taylor....i want to ask something... Can the Sog powerpint fit easily on the zero feud cup (the smaller one)?? Tia..
My intials are JRW and the tough clip breaks my heart cause I cant get it in the UK
See if someone in the community will buy and ship it for you. You will be paying more though
@@TheBudgetguy_K.T That would be the best option if it didn't sell out so damn fast lool I am in a FB group like that. Cheers for the idea tho, EDC is the worst hobby cause it's so easy to spend money.

The olight keychain light are my go to stocking stuffers. Big hits too
What is the name of the first organizer you show? It's the largest one on the table.
What brand is the knife maintenance pouch?
The larger brown-ish one? Seems to be an “ultimate edc organizer” from Garage Built Gear
@@Genesis992 Thank you.

Combat Beads
Is Mr Black available in North Carolina?

I’ve owned the Lyman mat for years for my Glock maintenance it really is a great durable mat
Annoyed that the Olight i1R 2 Pro isn't available on the Australian store yet for some reason. Great video though!
8:06 why is this a big upgrade? usc c is less durable, in my opinion it sucks ...
Will Jeremy be restocking the leather sleeves ??😭
I use one of those Xiaomi sets at work and all of the bits also fit into a Wowstick, which is a huge plus.
Wish I could find a channel like this for the uk
Killer gifts for the holidays, cheers legend!

CRKT has a nice brass driver like that for $20-25 on Amazon. Similar style and feels nice and hefty.
Liking that Holme Knife deck!
Nice!... I'm buying my brother half of this stuff for Christmas
Why can't you just use a Carabiner instead of the clip?
