Medieval to Modern EDC

- Does a modern EDC compare to a medieval one? Does a medieval mindset help in the modern day?
I am traveling for Independence Day, and since I am not taking any garb with me, I thought about how my kit has a very heavy influence on my EDC already, and wanted to share my thoughts.

dudee your mention about your ranger mindset and using romanticized views of the past to better oneself is spot on and i wish more people understood it. these days people seem to quick to dismiss any sort of romanization for fear of seeming childish or naive or it seems. As one who grew up inspired by these romanticized notions of history, i will continue to let them inspire me while the rest of the "adult" world struggles with their lack of role models.
A couple years ago I started wearing a leather belt pouch to carry my wallet, cell phone, keys, etc. I love it! I wear it every time I leave the house and doubt I will ever go back to carrying stuff in my pockets. My pouch is probably not accurate for the medieval period, but is a great way to carry the stuff you need close at hand. I'm a professional leatherworker and started offering these things for sale in my shop. A number of my customers have remarked at how practical a belt pouch can be.
POV u shop in the women’s section with no pokets
The most important part of EDC can't be legislated away from you. It can be used by old or young, weak or strong, male or female. It worked in medieval times, it works now, and it works in fantasy.
Situational awareness.
Just being aware of your surroundings, being able to spot potential dangers (human and other), can get you very, very far.
Situational awareness is best self-defense.
What martial art lets you survive being surrounded by ten armed thugs?
A martial art that lets you not be there in the first place.
I whole heartedly agree.
And as an added bonus, please do not go on "self defense" human hunting expeditions.
That's messed up.
Love the energy you bring, definitely keep that up! You've mentioned the Warrior Poet Society in two videos I've watch now, I actually own a clinch pick and a push dagger I bought from them. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who has compared modern pistols to swords 😅 I literally was asked at work once why I would bother to carry a pistol and my response was "because I'd get weird looks if I had a sword on my hip" 😅
That is a fantastic answer. Good to see another Poet amongst the adventurers. Cheers
Absolutely love the distinctly American mindset towards EDC and the right to self preservation. I'm a Texas native, so you know what my EDC consists of... Really enjoying all of the videos that I've watched of yours so far, Keep up the great work!
In an account of Englishmen from a Venetian diplomat in 1498, they sound just like Americans!
@@ingold1470 wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am a lifelong Texan, my family has been here for generations, and we support well regulated firearms, as do most Texans. Don't confuse your vocal minority with what real Texans want.
@@aprildriesslein5034 “regulated firearms” lol what’s that even mean?
Hopefully you don’t mean regulating away my ability to protect myself and my family. If that’s what you mean, just stop.
@@aprildriesslein5034 and how would you and "most _real_ Texans" want to regulate them?
You mentioning Warrior Poet Society, Bjorn Andreas Bullhansen, etc. Oh yeah, I like you already. Excellent video.
This is a huge reason why I study this stuff and watch videos like yours; to learn from the past to apply it to the present. I heartily agree that the mind set of being prepared for a dangerous world is something we still need today. It applies to our mindset, our clothing, the things we train for, and the things we carry with us.
I have never made the connection between the historical distinction between a knife and a sword and the modern distinction between a pistol and rifle until this video. As a veteran and a gun enthusiast, I found it very insightful! I'm here because Shad sent me, by the way, but I've already seen more than enough great content to become a faithful subscriber!
P.S. - Train hard, train smart, Poet!
Good to have you with me, brother. Thanks for the support ;)
It's awesome to hear you talk about Warrior Poet Society! That has shaped much of my mindset as well.
Vaguely medieval is an excellent fashion style
Your content is really fun and instructive in a way, again I love the way you present your reasons for doing things the way you do.
Great video man. This is exactly how I approach day to day life as well. Self sufficiency, self defense, and even just a timeless aesthetic... these things resonate for me and are inspired from of the ideals of the past.
I’m digging this channel. Love the content and appreciate the humor and lighthearted approach. Catching up on all the videos. Courage and Faith.
Definitely apart of the choir here! Both channels you mentioned I am subscribed to! So awesome to find another war poet, and an even keeled mind on RUclips to add to my subscription list! Stay the course, sir! I'm loving all your content, your passion for the subjects you talk about is infectious.
As a medival fantasy and Pro 2A follower I am happy to hear how well you considered the Medieval and modern laws and lifestyles and blended them to find your personal EDC. You have opened my eyes to consider adjusting my Modern EDC and adding a fantasy/ Piratical Influence. I watched this as a second video of yours but now i am happy to follow and see where you will go. Cheers!
It probably would cost a pretty penny, but have you considered having a brooch made that has your channel's logo on it? That would look so cool on you, regardless if you're going out in a medieval get up, or modern.
Brooches or maybe even a patch or something, I am looking into it. Maybe even a stamp for my leather working
My daily wardrobe is inspired by the 1890s-1910s but similar principals apply. I wear long skirts, white blouses with frills, and jackets all day everyday. During summer months and also with garden work, I'm more into medieval-ish peasant aesthetic because of it's practically, down to the local wooden shoes. It started as cosplays at renfairs, but over time I started introducing more and more pieces into my daily wardrobe (though admittedly that's harder to do with medieval gear, which is so different). Funny thing is that you don't need actual historical reproductions to achieve the style. Modern blouses and jackets pair very well witb any long skirt, and details like a broach on the collar, a straw hat and leather shoes create the illusion of history (plus side, when taken good care of leather shoes last way longer than any polyester shoe, saves money in tbe long run). For blouses I tend to go for natural fibers, because they breathe.
Jeans are practical and all that, but somehow modern clothing just cannot compare to the elegance of tbe fashions of ages past.
I enjoyed the first 10 minutes. I have enjoyed the other videos of yours I’ve listened to. I’m enjoying an increase in everyday adventure! I’ll focus on that.
In medieval times, the sword identified the wielder as a member of the Nobility. The "lesser" peasants might be permitted a large knife, such as your seax, at the judgement of the local Lord, but never a proper sword.
In the United States our Constitution is clear (if you bother to read it) that such legal distinctions between classes shall not exist. Yet we continue to have "laws" which permit some classes to possess arms forbidden to the ordinary man.
Such a shame honestly. "Shall not be infringed" seems pretty clear.
Then stop using them outside of a well regulated militia to splatter children all over the classroom floor.
Stop treating them like toys.
I'm an owner myself, and holy shit, my fellow gun owners' frivolous attitudes and ability to take this PRIVILEGE for granted is beyond the pale.
"Well regulated" also seems pretty clear. Until those well-regulated militias stop murdering children and other people going about their lives peacefully, we need to regulate in the situation we have, not a hypothetical or fantasy one.
It's not a bill of privileges ;-)
@@Talon058 no constitutional right is unlimited. Speech is limited in cases of libel, slander, and threats of violence. Religion does not permit human sacrifice.
Anyone with any sense (which is sadly lacking in this debate) knows that the 2A was not meant to mean that any untrained yahoo could have any weapon any where any time. We've limited access to tanks and sawed-off shotguns for decades without the country crumbling, so we can certainly do the same for the weapons routinely being used to slaughter innocent people.
Or, apparently, we can't, since our laws are now made for the benefit of gun manufacturers, not in accordance with what the US people actually want.
Coming to this video a little late, but really appreciate the channel, and the content. Great video.
Thank you Donovan
I have been adopting this style recently. You can meld right into a renaissance festival and walk out while not looking strange compared to the world around you. A Henley, cargo pants, leather shoes, and a coat are an amazing EDC combo.
Great ideas presented with such enthusiasm!
Very cool! I've got to get some sweet pouches -- wearing them at the Faire was very demonstrative of their superiority
Still one of my favorite videos you've ever made.
So LARP gear on the weekend and techgear the rest much like me but I don’t EDC a knife for defence. Just remember that the LARP/history crew don’t all overlap into the Prep people.
Many of us do, though.
Love the vid mate.
I love that you brought up warrior poet society and the 2nd amendment! I feel the same way. I love bushcraft and leather working... anything that allows a person to care for and provide for themselves, as much as possible. I LOVE that we are able to protect ourselves and have that means on our person at anytime and most places. So glad my sister shared your channel with me! I love your attitude!
What you said about the romanticizing of the historic examples making you a better person is more important than the possible reality: I was a Army PYOPS. We were discussing the nature of stories and themes on people. I pointed out to them that a battle lord/king in the 600's had fought and repelled the invaders. Not much else was known for sure but the Legends of King Arthur's court, the ideas of Might for Right, the notions of chivalry, all these things shaped peoples minds giving us the Magna Carta of England, even helped form some of the ideas in our Constitution and eventually resulted in the Geneva Convention that guides nations conduct. Who know exactly what a man named Arthur did all those centuries ago but he did something that inspired the world to try and be better.
While I mostly wear steel toed work boots, I also wear flip flops and beach shoes. My favorite tho are old chuck taylor converse. Canvass uppers and a flat piece of rubber. Best kicking shoes next to cowboy boots. Cowboy boots on someone with decent kicking skills are weapons into them selves. Also known to carry a nineteen inch kukri and a dagger under my shirt. Along with a pistol. I trust blades more than guns. When traveling I keep a katana or wakazashi handy. Had a dude ask me why. Told him for self defense, he said I carry a gun. I told him, I do too. But in a hotel where there are people over under and around you, if you miss and shoot someone in the next room, you still go to jail for murder. Once the bullet leaves the end of the gun, your no longer in control of what it does. Not so with a bladed or blunt weapon. Love this channel.
I love this video and that you decided to make it because I was also wondering how to dress more medieval in my day to day life without wearing full on medieval gear which might earn me some strange looks while I'm at work. I don't really care what other people think but this definitely helps. I just wish it was longer. Maybe you could have added where you keep things in your pockets and why. Like where do you keep your wallet, your keys, and where and how do you carry your knives. When you show us the knives they are out of frame. Anyways I love your content. Came here from Shadiversity. Definitely subbed and stayed for your content and personality. I think we would be great friends. You seem chill and smart. I like educated people. I don't get that much where I work :/
I'll probably remake this video at some point, I feel like I could have done more with it. Thank you for your support!
As someone who wears a medieval hood over my jean jacket I can confirm it gets a heavily surprising amount of compliments
It’s amazing how many RUclipsrs you mention in your videos that I’ve been a subscriber to for years before I discovered your channel a week or so ago. 😲🤔
I've been a subscriber to them all as well before I started my own channel ;)
My realization came down to wool good 👍
I live in Texas.... I can basically carry whatever I want. Hashtag freedom 😁
FREEDOM! yeah i'm looking at other states
I was curious, what's your get off me blade? I also carry a small fixed blade, but I'm not as happy with it as I could be with it, and I'm always looking for new options to try. Worst case, if I don't like it, it goes in the collection box or becomes a gift for my mom, who has a larger collection of knives than I will ever have.
You just described me and most of my wardrobe. I usually have some form of para-cord around one if not, both wrists and it protected me multiple times to the point of not getting bruises; It's really good to have for on the spot MacGyver fixes from styling up hair and clothing patch jobs, to tieing/knoting together a mace or other wepons and weaving a sling for an injury in the wild.
I've been getting nick names because of the different things that are based off of different kind of preparation, Star Wars, and midieval clothing I wear like, Jumanji/Ruby Roundhouse, Tomb Rader/Lara Croft, and Legolas's sister, I've also been told that I look like someone from Galaxy's Edge and Evermore park. I also find that how I dress also effects how I act like, having the same mannerisms of Ruby Roundhouse and my alertness to everything around me.
I was actually called a "Living Anachronism" by a friend of mine, for much the same reason as your nicknames. One of the best compliments I received. Then it became the name of my channel ;)
IMO it is important to know if those practices and values really existed, because then you'll be able to know how what effects they had. I really liked that a copy of Meditations I read included as an addendum Marius the Epicurean's account of visiting him, showing the effects of those famous words he lived by.
First of all... Damn boy! Look at how pale that leg is! 3:57
Second and most importantly, I salute you my good and patriotic friend!
*Salutes* Thank you brother, good to see you here
@@LivingAnachronism I've been all over the place on your channel, watching videos at random and commenting here and there. Eager to see more of your work.
thanks for your content. love the time period your living.
question… where do you get your linen shirts?
Uniqlo has had "asian collar" linen shirts on occasion, I've liked those, but they are more expensive. The white ones I have usually are from Amazon. The specific company that manufactured them no longer has these ones in stock, and I removed links to Amazon on my channel for other reasons. You might try a site like medieval collectibles to see if they have a cut and color you like.
Really good video I’m trying to get my EDC more traditional with a frost river backpack and leather pouches, dice and cards, and a metal food container.. might do a revolver instead of a Glock but not sure yet.
I am wishing you and ZNA Productions could do a collaboration on something. I feel you two would get along very well
I just recently found your channel and I am really enjoying it. I am wondering about your Viking hood. Did you create it or did you purchase it from somewhere? I am curious and wanting to make one but I also know my sewing skills :-). Thanks for your channel. It is really interesting as well as entertaining. Keep up the great work!
Hi Amy! My red hood I did make myself, you can use any stitch you are comfortable with. Search for "Viking Hood" and there re tutorials, some easier to follow than others. I also have a video on my channel about how to make a hoodie into a medieval looking hood, which you might find easier, depending on what you decide.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. ;')
The tech we carry are basically like magic or enchanted items that give us limited powers mostly from a knowledge based, artificial eldredge deity we built to know all and see all... it's magic
I used to watch Bjorn but he’s modern views with the things kinda turned me off but he’s older bushcraft stuff is cool.
As a person particularly interested in the Sengoku-jidai period of Japanese history, the samurai, ninja etc. I try to find ways I could incorporate elements of their culture into my everyday life. As far as mindset and activities go, meditation and archery are a good start. Not quite kyudo, but an attempt to practice kyudo mindset with modern equipment. Yay anachronism.
As far as clothing goes, I find zori footwear to be quite comfortable, and it's what I wear at home all year round. Shitagi makes for a great undershirt. The hakama pants however... are far less practical and I would not want to wear them everyday. At home I rather wear sweatpants, preferably ones that have this 'kung fu' Bruce Lee vibe. Black. Baggy, but tight around ankles. Just wearing them makes you want to punch air at random, and make wushu poses when no-one is looking xD
Outside - cargo pants. Always cargo pants. All glory to the cargo pants.
Also, I'm not a big fan of sneakers. Cheap ones fall apart quickly. Expensive ones... at that price point, I might as well buy something that actually looks good.
I'm not sure how mich of it just comes with age and experience, how much is from getting out on multiday hikes and how much is an interest in history but i have definitely become a more prepared person over the years.
One edc item i find indispensible is a small LED light. Whether that is a keyring flashlight, headlamp or at very least phone flashlight. This makes me wonder what an equivalent medieval light would be?
Just fire making stuff, tinder, a tiny oil lamp, rush lights?
For your modern edc, get yourself a leatherman squirt with the little pliers if you dont already have a multitool.
It is so small you can keep it with your keys but man does it come in handy.
You have made me think that i should have some small carry bag with basic adventure items ready to go. Eg sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, protien bars and water.
Also, i live in Australia and used to always wear thongs (flip flops).
I ride a motorcycle now so i wrar boots for that but i hate not having decent shoes any time now.
You feel much more secude and prepared in good leather boots.
Where did you get that jacket from? It looks awesome.
The modern one was a lucky find at a Burlington Coat Factory. There's no tags or anything aside from washing instructions that say R D New York, 1997
By chance do you know the name of the brand that made your jacket?
. My everyday carry is a small very sharp twin bladed pocket knife.It has so many uses. every day
I've switched from handbags to belt bags - hip bags? What are they called? - basically modern pouches, really.
I just find them so much more handy than other types of bag, now.
I don't wear a seatbelt because I hope to crash, nor do I carry hoping to kill.
Well said
Just curious, where did you get your chino joggers?
Uniqlo
I really loved the "modern cloak", and I couldn't find anything similar on the Internet. Where did you got it?
I believe you refer to my Ruana Wrap cloak, I got mine from a company called Topman, but I don't believe they make it anymore. I do have a video called "Best Cloak for a Medieval Adventurer" where I talk about it more if you haven't seen that!
@@LivingAnachronism Thank you very much friend, I will watch for sure. I'm from Brazil, so I think will be hard to find something like this around here, I'll keep searching haha.
A ruana is extremely easy to hand sew, even if you never sewed anything before. Two methods:
1. Get two long wide scarves, sew a long edge on each to the other, half way up. Done!
2. Get a wool blanket or similar, cut a slit from the middle of one side straight to the center, sew around the cut edges so it won't unravel. Done!
but wait, i wanted to know what boom stick you carry
Leather boots are great that is the only kind of shoes I have.😁
Brother Kramer has good taste.🙂
Thank you, brother
For myself, I don't do any sort of LARP or reenactment (but my parents used to do america Civil War reenactment so I grew up camping), I do still like the mindset. For myself, I wear cargo pants daily so that I can take my EDC without dealing with outer packs or pouches. Here in Canada you can carry any knife (or sword!) regardless of length *so long as it's intended as a tool and the intent for carry is not to cause harm*. So.. Technically that sort of removes swords as they dont really serve a use besides causing harm, but hey, technicality.
However my EDC is my water bottle that clips to either my belt loop or a built-in hook on most of my pants, my folding knife, a pen, my Buff (gaitor for americans maybe idk?) for hot weather to pour water on and put around my neck, my phone, wallet, and keys. They each get their own pocket, and the knife hooks onto a front belt loop. I'm honestly really happy with it.
Good set up! Technically carrying a sword around for the purpose of research and videos is intended for work, but I don't know if I'd take that to court haha
Hmm tactical fanny bandolieer. Looks handy.
Where did you get your joggers?
Uniqlo
Hi, it's me the mild idiot now following you again but if bushcraft is a thing you are into I recommend learning flint and steel it is the most satisfying way to make fire. Furs and wool make the best short-term shelter. Tracking and hunting is crucial for anything long term and has multiple applications. Water collection and purification is super fun to learn and clutch for life lol. Long-term shelters and how to properly make them is what I am showing my kids now and has been epic so far. learning how to smoke meat without modern equipment is a challenge that ends up being the most rewarding for me at least. fashion your own tools if possible. Bushcraft is super fun and rewarding.
I just picked up a flint and steel. All the things you mentioned are things that I have been watching other people ado and can't wait to get out and try on my own!
@@LivingAnachronism well it is an amazing adventure and to hear your take on these thing from a mid-evil viewpoint would be really cool.
Man look at them white legs! As bright as the light of earendil!
Pouches ARE way better than pockets…. wear one, possibly the modified version like the EMTs wear on their belts to hold the shears, flashlights, gloves, CPR shields, etc… that or a Scottish sporran…
How do you feel about character bleed?
Not sure what you mean
@@LivingAnachronism character bleed is when aspects of a character you play 'bleed' into your everyday life or the other way around. Like when you have a relationship (be it romantical, familiar or otherwise) as characters, and then start to feel similar out of character. Or when you play a character that is evil and start to feel the urge to do evil things irl.
This concept can be used in a positive way when you are aware of it. Like playing a confident character to become more confident irl. But it can also cause problems if you are unaware
Kennesaw ga has laws that mandates every person carry a sword
Both means and end shall be fair and good
Maybe you would like to live in the Czech Republic basically here are no regulations on cold weapons so if you are at least 18 you can carry sword (or bow, or crossbow...) in public, but no one doing it. How it works? Your weapon, your responsibility, basically any potential incident is on you. Cheers.
Messers weren't carried in germanic countries because swords were illegal, but because the knife makers guilds were able to bypass the sword makers guilds control over the sword market by hilting them like knives. Many of the blades were imported anyways, afterall.
Hell yea. Not the only based fantasy guy around
This has been bugging me for a while: Does that sword's crossguard keep you from being able to open that door?
Technically yes. I have to take it down if I want to open the closet. But I don't have a reason to go in there very often.
@@LivingAnachronism Ya know, I wasn't really expecting a response to that one. Cheers, mate! I'd be interested to see what your EDC would look like for a ren faire. I know camping and hiking are more your jam, but if you do such festivals, I'm curious what you carry and how you carry it.
Challenge: take a shot every time he says "you know"
I can carry a sword in my state, haven't tried it more than going from the woods to the store, but no laws against it that I know/can find.
for both edc set ups, get some fire, a man without fire is no man :P (fire steel and flint and some birch would get you a long way)
Gotta ask, you for or against self defense?
For
But you didn't talk about your white sock liners.
10:52 that's us in the UK in the modern day, carrying anything for self defense is against the law, even a tactical pen is illegal, I can't even get away with carrying a knife with garb to make video's :o
nice video, thx :) and I agree with you, I mix fantasy garb with my every day most of the time, it saves money ;) I haven't bought a shirt since I learned to make medieval tunics
@@neoaliphant hmmmm... the law isn't so clear about it, I carry a knife on my tool belt for work, if I went to the shops with it there and got questioned the police would say that I had had plenty of time to remove it and therefor didn't have an adequate reason (I know this because I asked a police officer out of curiosity), and as for bush-craft; if you don't have land owner permission for that then all you are doing is admitting to a different crime :o
@@neoaliphant honestly, you just hit on one of the reasons why I started a channel, it gives me a legitimate reason to have the stuff (knife etc...) that my kit feels wrong without, however without land owners permission to do bush-craft it's still a hazy area, and If I say the knife is just part of the kit and that I'm not doing bush-craft I no longer have a "good reason", law is hard :(
Here in Australia it’s called “ carrying cutting implement” and you can get done for almost anything , from a pen to a screwdriver BUT you really have to give the cops reason to bother with it. As an electrician I always have a knife on me all day to strip cables and generally knife things. But it’s my tool not what people would think of when people hear EDC as that screams American Preper looking for a reason to have a weapon over here
@@AdamMclardy in the UK you just have to look slightly shifty and the police will stop search you in most cities
EDC is just a quick way of saying "the stuff you have on you all the time", it doesn't refer to weapons unless you always carry one, most people's EDC is phone, wallet, car keys, flash light, water bottle etc...
Yeah I get you, it's that way in most cities here too, unless it's for work, you might get questioned. And state land here too, you can't technically bring anything, even for film (like a bow) without a hunting license. Varies from state to state though.
I am enjoying your videos, but since you asked….😉… Tolkien and medieval era men in general don’t actually have a concept of stoicism as masculine. Look at Tolkien’s treatment of Aragorn at the death of Boromir. Or at Sam’s love of Frodo, at the closeness of Merry and Pippin or the scholarly nature of Faramir. Of course the elves as well are quite emotive. Medieval? One has only to look at stories of knights weeping at the death of a friend or pining in desperate longing for the unattainable lady! Emotional suppression really doesn’t come into English culture until the 1800s. Later in other cultures, earlier in a few. I would encourage you to really look at Tolkien’s treatment of male characters. Rarely is emotion suppressed. It is accepted as good and necessary, and I believe it’s clear he based that (as other things) on the ideal medieval knight. Cheers my friend, keep up the wonderful videos!
Hold up, are you a member of wpsn
Not a member on their separate network atm, but I've been a subscriber/supporter of theirs for a good while now.
My bow and arrow is my CZ and hollowpoint
Good man. S&W for me
Wanna carry big knives or swords? Come visit Texas
Phone = carrier pigeon
The law definitely gets weird and carried away in regards to self defense. I'm personally anti-gun, but not fully politically, if that makes sense. I don't like guns and don't like being around them. But I understand people are interested in their self defense, and also use them for hobbies like hunting. I think there should however be any and all worthwhile steps made towards keeping them out of the hands of those who wish to hurt themselves or others, even if that costs us a little bit of that freedom. But that's just my opinion.
I'm very glad to live in the only Democratic state I know of that is still a constitutional carry state.
Lucky you! Much more of a hassle in Ct
Saving money is good. You should sell your hood for more than you made it for. Then sell the next one you make when someone else asks.
I love your content... But I won't lie, as a woman, it severely angers me when people gender these skills. They have nothing at all to do with "being a man," and everything to do with being a better human.
I'm pretty sure the sentiment is more a contrast between being a man vs being a boy rather than being more many and less femanine.
Aka growing up, being more mature and responsible. In the same way people talk about "adulting".
As men however, a lot of us look up to particular men in our lives and want to emulate them. We associate their possitive traits with masculinity but i don't think many people think they are exclusively masuline or that women shouldn't pursue them.
In the same way traits like empathy and gentleness are often spoken of as femanine traits but should ideals for everyone.
Getting "severely angry" over men wanting to be better?
Yeah, you already told us you were a woman, you didnt have to say it twice.
People think that police is going after them if they carry a knife and stop them. I have carried knives of various sizes since I was 12 and sun still shines. Lmao people should stop giving a shit about stuff like that.
Not going to lie this one kind of lost me a bit. It started off with a strong premise and great video of your modern vs medieval kit, but like halfway through just turns into an almost defensive rambling rant about what is appropriate to carry for self defense. And then the repeating and pacing honestly kind of seems like the drugs kicked in while filming.
Sorry if that comes off as rude, I really like this channel but this video is kind of a departure from your norm. Good luck on your adventures and I look forward to the next one!
Thanks for the feedback. It's easy to get distracted by modern things when I'm talking about them XD. And the actual EDC is very minimalist, it is half the mindset that interests me. See you in the next one!
I'm really disappointed to hear you parrot the "guns are good for self defense" argument. The data DOES NOT support this. In fact, guns make you less safe, and not just because of accidents and suicide. A study of people who were mugged compared those with no gun, who had a gun but didn't pull it, and who had a gun and did pull it. Those with no gun were LEAST likely to be injured, and those who pulled their guns were MOST likely to be injured. Guns always escalate a violent situation. By all means, carry a knife, learn some martial arts, but don't convince yourself that a gun is equivalent, or a shortcut to training.
Can we just make medieval dress everyday dress again? Lol
