Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding. Even with sponsored reviews I will only agree to a sponsorship on products and services which I believe will be of genuine interest to viewers.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.

Aspirin would be contraindicated for a hemorrhagic stroke, as it would promote bleeding, but could be useful for an ischemic (blood clot) stroke or heart attack. The problem is that you don't know which kind of stroke you are having until someone looks inside your head. I have the Nitecore NU33 head lamp (actually two of them) and they rock. Not sure how they differ from the NU25. Excellent screen presence, sir, and its good to see a real grownup promoting EDC, especially with your experience in the field. Happy to see subscribers continuing to increase. I've been on board since the beginning.
Obviously you have to be careful with medical advice. Good shout. In terms of data are you best not doing anything like aspirin for stroke? Heart attacks my understanding is I can be a dramatic outcome improver
@@hengis73 As far as stroke management, there is no way to know what type of stroke an individual may have had until proper CT imaging of the brain is achieved. This would determine the course of treatment. The only thing that can be done if someone is presenting with symptoms of a stroke is to call EMS and get the individual to a hospital. Unfortunately taking aspirin while having an intracranial hemorrhage may lead to worsening bleeding.
Really interesting regarding aspirin and the stroke. I wonder which is more common? or more fatal more quickly? That could be a determining factor as to whether taking asprin could improve the odds.......
NU33 is a great light but no shock cord UL option so twice the weight and much bulkier with head strap - otherwise it is superior to NU25 in other respects.
Thanks for the kind words on the channel and for being part of the journey 👍
@hengis73 That is an important point - I was keen to point out that meds were for my needs rather than general advice - if one type of stroke dominates then that might indicate whether taking aspirin or not would improve odds of survival.....
Haemorrhagic stroke is much more rare. Approx. 15% of the all cases are haemorrhagic, 85% is ischaemic.
I like the magnet idea. One time my wife was stepping off a boat onto a dock, and our only set of keys popped out of her pocket into the water. I had to climb down a rotten wooden ladder covered in barnacles, into ice cold water filled with jelly fish to hunt for the keys. My neighbor came over with a large magnet, dropped into the water and I immediately heard a loud clank as the magnet and the keys found each other. A magnet can be very handy.
This guy is incredible. Normally I have to look at many videos of this type, but this guy literally looks like he has anything you could possibly practically need, all in a very lightweight, compact package. This video is not just science but an art. Incredible.
A lot of stuff you will never ever use is no use at all. ie 'Imagine never having a foldable titanium fork'. Try eating a pot noodle without a fork. Or lo and behold ever being in a situation with water but zero compressed towels with you to wash or wipe something with. lol
@@FISHDINHO the folding type you get a mess trickier to clean at the hinge locking mechanism, so a slightly longer plastic spork is more lick-clean with a real fork one end and real spoon other end. If carrying in such a bag/pouch probably non-folding would fit.
Jon,you cost me a fortune 😂 your reviews are honestly the best on the net! Your laid back informative style works superbly. Many thanks from a older fan.
Thanks so much 👍
@@JonGadget
Superbly designed kit Jon.
Very innovative.
I'm hard to impress.
I'm impressed .
I cannot improve upon this kit at this size and weight.
Kudos.
Thanks David - appreciated 👍
@@JonGadget
Thanks for taking the time to reply Jon, keep up the good work.
Yes the best solutions with honesty feedback
Cost per item and overall cost would be a good addition to this video format.
This is probably the most useful ADC kit I've ever seen. It's great and everything was chosen with a real knowledge of what it needs for.
Always articulate, concise, erudite and entertaining. Thank you, Jon.
Bravo from Canada, I look forward again to 2023 videos on EDC from you!
I appreciate you doing a follow-up video to your first EDC. I like the added items and still maintaining a small profile. Thanks for the recommendations, I have been contemplating how to minimize my pouch, you nailed it for me!
these yearly videos have come up in my algorithm ever since I searched best head lamp and I'm so glad to have found them. Love how thought out these packs are. these videos really have brought me joy. Thank you.
great way to start my weekend. Thx Jon!
Truly amazing video!!! Your stuff is a life saver!!! Thank you & keep on your great videos!!! 👏👏👏
Really outstanding, you’re a standout in a crowded space, Bravo!
John, I absolutely love your videos! Thank you for such useful, and practical content! Cheers.
Thank you for the kind feedback - great to hear
You should consider swapping the zip ties with reusable ones, they can be a tad larger at the closure end, but it is so useful to be able to keep using them over and over.
All zip ties are reusable if you know how to remove them without cutting them. Also if you have an actual reusable zip tie you're less inclined to use it for semi-permanent fixes as you've set out with the mentality that you want it back.
The compressed towels can save your ass, quite literally, if you find yourself at a public restroom without any toilet paper. Also they will also absorb blood so you can improvise a small bandage with one and some duct tape.
@@lndtbs that is no reason not to hve reusable ones..
Thanks for the feedback. Def re emergency loo requirement!
with the SAK awl you can open an ordinary zip tie.
Excellent kit. I bought the Maxpedition case for my wife to carry her EDC and she loves it. Great video
Hi Jon! Thanks for another great video! I've added a few items to my same Mini Maxpedition. Great little pouch! I also have the larger one that I take on longer trips. I'm always fixing something when I'm away (kind of a bad habit but...) but it's good to have basics when in a pinch! Thanks for taking time to research and share! Yours is one of the best EDC channels I've found. Keep up the great work!
When I'm carrying a Bic lighter I like using a ladies' elastic hair tie to keep the button from depressing. It easily slides up and down allowing quicker deployment than a zip tie, is reusable, allows another tiedown option if your cordage isn't appropriate, and makes you look like a hero when a woman or girl in your party says, "Does anybody have a hair tie?".
Thank you Jonathan, I am in the process of building this kit. I find your reviews very informative,
The deluxe tinker is a excellent choice for that kit…! I bought mine not to long ago and it’s been amazing and just what I needed especially at it price point at the minute! 👍🏼 great video!
Thank you Jon for the very comprehensive list. You are a treasure trove of knowledge on gadgets. Love your channel that I recently discovered.
Thanks Sandra, feedback really appreciated 🙏
Can’t wait to build my personal EDC kit after watching your channel over and over again every single day ❤
Glad you enjoy it! Hope it will be useful 👍
@@JonGadget you’re are always my inspiration
Looking forward to get my first edc flashly
Thank you Jonathan
Extremely helpful and very informative. Just built the same kit based on your review and recommendations. All the best , Carl
Jonathan, je vous souhaite une très belle année 2023 ! And thank you for this travel essential kit ! I love it, it’s so light, compact and useful.
Bonne année à toi aussi - I am glad you found it useful.
Well thought out and efficient kit. Thanks for sharing these good ideas.
Thank you
This is excellent so many good ideas thanks from the USA!
Strong magnets are brilliant...
I once pulled an open socket set from the boot of the car and EVERYTHING went down a drain cover I'd parked over.
Broom handle, pry bar duct taped to that and then 2 strong magnets on the end.
Got everything back. Cleaned. Liberally sprayed with WD-40. No harm done and I now ALWAYS check clips.
Always very well done and interesting ideas. You don't understand how useful it is until you need it ! Great information who make you think about what you should take with you. And it is very small for what you get. Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
I just rewatch your 2022 version yesterday. Love the new update
great to hear - thanks for comparing 👍
Jon, another great video. Wonderful suggestions. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you
Loving the purple and orange in this video. Very cool
Great video, the 6-in-1 charger will help free up some space in my kits. Will also be adding a magnet, I haven't needed to use one myself, but I'm sure the day will come that I'm glad it's there!
Thank you once again for an amazingly useful video. Since I found you r channel last year. I have been gradually building my EDC pouch. I love the items you have shown here. Compact and practical. 😊
Great to hear - thank you
I didn't know about those Post Office emergency cash cards - a great idea.
The scissors and tweezers on the Swiss Army knife are really good quality.
An extremely well thought out kit!
Finally! A proper EDC tool set, thank you.
Great video. Thanks a lot. I also trow in 12 inca or so of 18 or 20 gauge SS steel. Saved the day once on a bike ride. Cheers
Thanks Jon for another good one. So obsessed with your videos having discovered your channel quite recently. You are costing me a small fortune 😜 keep us the great work.
Thank you - appreciated - sorry about the bank balance!
Your videos are an invaluable source of information for me. I've been watching each one several times so I can customize a survival kit for gift giving occasions to family members who'd benefit from one. Thank you for the time and effort you put into offering your experiences and opinions on all of the products you review. You're saving me countless hours of random searches and comparisons on my own.
That is great to hear! Thank you for feeding back 😊
New to EDC gear and recently came across your channel, I’ve become a bit of a fan and your videos have so informative.
I find myself going through the video description for the links to the products you’ve reviewed and adding them on my Amazon wish lists to purchase in future!
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your videos 👍
Excellent video, I used your 2022 kit ideas to make my own!! Already traveled with it once and it was great.
Some viewers may not know that the Deluxe Tinker would not be allowed through airport security. For this reason, I put a strong serrated plastic knife from Humangear in my travel kit, and put anything with a metal blade in my checked bag.
Some of your viewers might EDC a Victorinox Compact and Rovyvon A8. For these people, the Deluxe Tinker would be redundant except for the pliers. To cover that, a Gerber Dime, Leatherman Squirt or Style, or Knipex Cobra XS would have larger pliers for a smaller tool size (the Style and Cobra could even go on most flights). The Rovyvon A8 has some hands-free options, such as clipped to a shirt/sleeve/pocket/hat or attached to a metal surface, allowing it to act as the headlamp, making it possible to leave the Nitecore home. These changes would save a bit of space and weight in the kit.
Hi Paul. All great feedback, I can see you're as into this as I am! Yes, I didn't wan't to confuse the video with my EDC overlap. When carrying the Vic Compact (all the time) I carry the 4" Knipex Cobra in this kit instead of the Tinker. But I keep the Nitecore because my A8 is kept busy (and my be low on battery) and for the weight two is better than one.
@@JonGadget Makes perfect sense, thank you for the additional info!
Impressive to say the least, Jon. Your creative/resourceful approach is quite amazing. Remind me to never piss you off. :)
Thé upgrade EDC kit it's very nice
Thanks for your partage
Hi Jon...I LOVE your channel! I have been working on making up some of your recommended kits including this one. I like the new additions that you have added as well. For me, I like the Leatherman Squirt as my multi-tool. But, I LOVE the Headlight which is the same as yours. I used to tonight in fact when I had to go the the garage. It was icy here where I live and my hands were full. It saved me!!! Excellent gear and I'm buying more of them. Thank you for all of you smart and very logical recommendations that your videos provide.
Thanks for the great feedback - appreciated. Squirt is a great option and also the Micra - keeps the weight down a bit too. Would miss the larger knife though!
So many great ideas here thank you Jon! Awesome video!!
My pleasure!
Magnificent! We men think ww are so important & powerful, which is the opposite of reality. Thank you ever so much for sharing; it is truly inspirational. Im a retired probation officer & former reserve officer, who can really appreciate the peace your videos give. I'm also a Goldwing rider with thousands of miles of riding & trying to get back into the technical aspects of photography. Thanks for getting me motivated. Im riding up to Custer, Wyoming next month, & wasn't going to bring a camera, due to space issues, but may do so now. I live in California, but would love to meet you in Texas some day. Please keep doing what you do. Im truly appreciative, as is my wife.
Thanks for the kind feedback Nicholas, def take a camera with you and capture great memories 👍
What a brilliant instructional video, have not come across you before but am now a subscriber.
I have replicated this EDC, as the recommendations are so well thought out. My kids, however, are not so keen as they are now going hungry and shoe-less for the foreseeable!!
I have added a retractable scalpel and a ladies emery board to mine. Also 2 days prescription meds in case either of us is suddenly hospitalised etc.
Looking forward to watching your next/other videos!!
Hi Jon, It's such a great channel. I have followed your advice and have both the Max Mini and Max Micro. Thanks.
I like the revised setup, I have a personal thing about stuffing the pouches with so much stuff that it becomes a ball. I think I would get a slightly larger pouch so that it would lay flat and not roll away on me and resist the temptation of adding extras..
Mine is similar. What I have that isn't in yours is a handkerchief, a P38 US Army can opener, a small knife sharpener, and a whistle. I prefer a pen-shaped flashlight I can keep in my pocket.
I don't know what the UK equivalent is, but here in the USA I'd include a quantity of quarters (US$ 0.25 coins). They're the most universally accepted form of currency in vending machines, coin operated washing machines, dryers, etc.
Love this annual kit vids.
Just ordered the The Mighty Pouch + for my version.
Great to hear
So much great information that I have to keep pausing and winding your videos back. I cannot think of any other videos that are sone information dense
Nice bit of kit, thank you Jon. I second the reusable ties someone else mentioned. Also, I know whistles might be on a key chain or some-such, but I generally like to keep another one in the kit just in case (this is for EDC and for travel/hiking/outdoor); as a more vulnerable person, this is an important addition and can be small enough to include.
Thanks for the feedback - I have a separate kit for outdoors!
Thank you Jon.
Lol I love watching these kit ideas but I can never understand how they can be of any use when all the included items look shinny brand new ! My pocket knife is battered to death from being used same as my tiny little pocket torch I got from Tesco about 4 years ago for £2 😂 other than those I carry my phone and wallet with my a membership. Oh and pocket knife I have a massive 😂 Rambler never found need for anything more and I’ve travelled the whole of the U.K. for weeks at a time on the road 👍
Very nice choices! Well done.
Bloody Hell! What sort of things are you expecting to happen?🤣 All you really need is a way to make fire, a sharp tool and a means to make a shelter.
You really shouldn’t rely on anything which needs batteries.Knowledge is by far the best thing to carry…
All the best👍🏾🇬🇧
The expandable towels are a good addition I have been using these for a few years now.
good to know 👍
Great reviews,really enjoy them.
Victorinox Deluxe Tinker - YEAH!
my goto EDC
Fantastic video. Many thanks 👍👍 👍
Nice upgrades. I love that you keep the purpose of your kit in mind. Too often people lose sight of the purpose and the kit becomes a huge, unfocused jumble that will end up being left at home because it is too big and heavy.
Thank you - yes absolutely - I was hoping not to gain any weight but the additions made it worthwhile I thought
Great new additions. Glad to see the Deluxe Tinker in there - I think it’s a god send.
good to know
Powerful magnet for fishing keys, etc from between the seat and center console of my Jeep.
These videos always hit my wallet really hard. 🤣🤣 Love your setup, Jon!
Excellent kit!
I carry a couple small candles you can light them for light or to start a fire without using up your butane also you can use the melted wax to seal stuff or even put it on small cuts or scrapes....
For an EDC pen that's cheap and even lighter than the Fisher Space Pen, there is the Pokka pen. I bought a pack of three, really neat! I carry one every day in my pocket.
I can see how that folding fork would come in handy for those "pot noodle and a wank" type of nights.
It's good to have different types of pouches for different everyday things.
Agreed 😊
I've got to say I'm impressed by how much you've got into that! I use a Maxpedition Micro as a small tech kit and I tried switching to the Mini but couldn't actually fit as much into it. I don't think it's as thick as the Micro, strangely. I certainly couldn't imagine fitting all of what you've fit into it!
It was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle I confess!
Swiss army knife I would have to have one with a saw blade, a small button compass , probably a keyring one that can fix to the outside of the case so that your magnet won't mess with it. Love the top up card I didn't know such a thing existed I can do away with the gold sovereigns now lol. Thanks for sharing your video I really enjoyed it.
even when the majority is not for me there are always some gems to find.
the emergency contact and the extra cash are simply, cheap and feel like must have!
Always a joy to watch :)
Great content sir! love your set up
Finally, a seriously practical kit. Thanks.
Great to hear 👍
I guess I'm not the only person that buys Jon's recommendations even if I don't need them :)
Just a heads up based on something you said: absolutely do not give someone who is having a stroke aspirin. It can help in some strokes or it can very much harm in the case of strokes caused by ruptured blood vessels by accelerating the bleeding. There's also no way of telling whether a stroke is from a clot or not until you get to a hospital.
The NHS for some reason seems to advise people to do this when every other medical body says to definitely not. This includes the red cross, st johns, phecc, american heart association and all medical literature I've read for college or my research jobs.
Great video as always. I might substitute the gorilla tape for gaffer tape as it is much cleaner to take off things and re-use but still strong when adhered.
Good video. Honestly if I'm carrying something that I don't use in 2 weeks time I'm not carrying it anymore. A lot of less compact and less expensive items spread around your many common spaces (home, car, workplace) go just as far, probably further. A RovyVon light, a Victorinox Mini Champ and some type of strong thin cord fob with some girly hair ties around it are about all you'll ever need for EDC as a suburban husband+dad with an office job.
Heat shrink to manage your cord and cable ties is a genius idea. Thanks for sharing Jon!
you're welcome
@@JonGadget which heat shrink tubing should I buy? Most of the ones on Amazon have adhesive in them. Is that What you have?
@@michaeltchilds I’d use the kind sold in the plumbing section of the hardware store, no adhesive on the inside and nice and stretchy
Excellent content! Subscribed! I have a Maxpedition Micro and a Mini. I've tried a Mini for my EDC but I keep getting back to Micro. Somehow I am able to put exactly the same stuff as in Mini. It fits better and it's more compact.
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the links 👍
If you cut off one end of a zip tie you can slide on the others to carry in a secure flat carry that will remain secure when some are used. The fishing magnet is an intriguing idea although I did see Felix Imler carry a small magnet that fit in the hook part of his bottle opener of his SAK. I like the Vanquest PPM Slim pouch for its staggered elastic slots which will let items nest beside each other rather than on top of each other. The orange interior makes items more visible as well. Ear plugs are a genius idea since unwanted noise seems to be everywhere.
Great feedback - thanks you. Funnily enough I am just checking out the Vanquest now for exactly that reason! Pouch review coming very soon!
I’m enjoying your videos . I’m a Iceskater, use it for doing my skates up tightening the laces.
Cheers
great to hear
Thank you for your thoughts and videos. While I have magnets in other bags/kits, I had not considered them for other kits like these. I like that idea.
You have mentioned no longer packing super glue in your kits for reasons... I often add a small vile of super glue, simply because it can also be bandage in a pinch as well as a small hemostatic agent. Simply because they are small and lightweight and fit into most any pocket.
Maxpedition has some of the best gear, I think. From the multiple sizes of the clamshells you show here to small pockets and bottle carriers.
Nice and well rounded edc
As always, excellent material, delivered in an excellent manner!
An inexpensive corundum nail file with the handle broken off would take up very little space, and the weight is negligible. They are only a few dollars at the local drug store. It will file your nails, and even most metals. I've looked at gluing 2 different grits of wet/dry sand paper to opposite sides of a thin piece of stiff plastic for an emergency or back up knife sharpener in the field. But a two sided, foam backed emery board that's been cut in half might work okay for a few uses.
I carry one or two packets similar to your sanitizing wipes, one is made for sunscreen, the other is a bug repellant. I also have a couple more stashed in a smaller pack that goes on day hikes. And I also carry lip balm with a 30 SPF, and a tiny bottle of eye drops, since I wear contacts.
I love your uses for shrink wrap!
I buy used multi tools when I see them at a good price. Many, like Leatherman, are stainless. So even if they appear to have a bit of rust on them, they clean up well. I stash these tools in packs here and there and I'm not out the full price of a new tool for an item that I might use once a year, or never. I picked up an original Leatherman Tool the other day that looked unused. It had someone's company logo on it, like something given to an employee. But it was $12 US.
Do you carry nail clippers elsewhere?
well constructed as always
Jon, I would love to see your take on a modular system combine the urban edc with the outdoors edc while using the maxpedition mini! I think you'd have some amazing ideas for this. Think this could be a possibility of a future video?
Great stuff but for economy I use a bamboo fork and spoon for zero cost, flatter and lighter.
💥Great inspiration and ideas for my own kit! 💥 I found the following VERY helpful for a travel kit as well: A Mask / Earbuds / Some Gum / Tissues / Nail Clippers / USB Key. I have to forgo the lighter and multitool for carry-on plane travel (GRRRR!) but can always make do.
Happy you choose Victorinox my beloved brand. But being half French I always carry a corkscrew on my Vic. :)
Those compressed towels are also good for if you are out in the woods and have to go to the Bathroom, after you dig your cat hole you can use these as toilet paper and throw them in the hole and bury because they are biodegradable so they will break down faster than regular T P.
Also if you are just using them for wipe your hands or anything but for the toilet! You could reuse them, use as a water filter, and then when done just let dry completely and you could tear into strips and roll up and use for emergency Tinder. Great video!!!
Nice to see the deluxe tinker getting some love. Don’t see it in many reviews, but been in my pocket every day for about 4 years
That's good to know 👍
Great kit!
Thanks Jon, as always some great ideas there. I've something similar for travel with one main exception. I leave any bladed multi-tool out. And I will add that into my bag separately if I am not flying anywhere or I fly with luggage. Last year on a domestic flight where even liquids are allowed I was pulled up because of some scissors in my carry on bag. It turned out they were ok as they were small and blunt tipped but still it was a 20 minute delay. So I have 2 travel EDC now. One for flying and one for other travel.
Great feedback and advice. Also, lighter needs to be carried on the person to comply with UK rules.
That's been my experience as well - even if they let you through eventually, having any type of scissor can make them pull you out of line, and if you're cutting it close in timing, you could miss your flight.
You could probably mold something over the fork tines to turn it into a spoon. Or some type of sleeve to fit over when needed
The card replaces Travelers Checks, which I remember without any regret. The yellow trim on the power bank is good ergonomics.
