    It's a realistic and respectable EDC.
    Unlike all these other EDC dorks that carry 40 titanium tools they never use and probably carry 5 bottle openers.
    Sorry fellas but when you start carrying 300 dollar ti pens and pry bars you are just accessorizing like a rich girl.

    • @sped6954
      @sped6954 4 года назад +13

      I agree completely. There's no need for most of the crap that people carry. The simpler it is, the better.
      My EDC:
      Minimalist wallet with strong magnetic bill closure and seven individual card pockets.
      TRS Striker folding knife.
      A small, single AAA, single LED flashlight with pocket clip and tail switch. No focusers, extra functions or any other gimmicks. It turns on, and it turns off.
      Leatherman FUSE or WAVE, depends solely on which one I feel like picking up on any given day.
      Some type of lighter. Could be either a butane or plasma arc, again depending on nothing more than whichever one I feel like picking up.
      Casio DW-5600, AE-1200 or SGW-500, or if I'm feeling especially nostalgic, a Timex Q Illusion 64337 or Innovative Time Sports Master Q700BRN.
      Nothing expensive, because it doesn't need to be. Aside from the last two watches, nothing I'd be too particularly broken up about losing, and also aside from those two watches, everything is easily replaceable.

      I disagree. At work, I open tons of boxes, make repairs, and do lots of slicing. My knife and multi-tool are vital parts of my EDC. Just because they’re not necessary for you, doesn’t mean everyone carries tools pointlessly.

    My EDC is fairly basic: phone, wallet, folding knife, flashlight, pistol. That will take care of pretty much any common emergency. However, because I live in Texas in a city with no public transportation, pretty much everyone has a car and it goes with you everywhere ... so I turned my little S10 truck into a mobile emergency vehicle. The space behind the seat is FULL: Robust first aid kit, water, non-perishable emergency food, emergency tools, robust survival kit, tent, etc. Armageddon could happen, and as long as I'm within walking distance of my truck, I'm set.

I carry a Glock 20 10mm inside the waistband (appendix position), two extra 15 round magazines, Thrunite T20 flashlight, my knife is an early 90's Spyderco Police stainless steel with non serrated edge, an ancient (no camera/non flip/standard keypad) Kyocera cellphone, my wallet with my state ID and concealed carry permit, and my keys (house key, 3/32 punch for taking my pistol/magazines apart if necessary). I carry this 7 days a week, all year long.

    • @86djtaylor
      @86djtaylor 9 лет назад

      Kindanyume .Kindanyume I hate that there are states that won't issue. You know, it's sad to think that certain states are like completely different countries it seems. California is a great example of things being ridiculously different as far as gun laws. Sometimes looking past whats in black and white and doing what you have to in order to protect yourself. I tell people all the time that it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is permission. I would rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6. Now don't take this the wrong way, I'm not telling you to break the law. You may not be allowed to carry a gun, but you are able.

    • @dragofera
      @dragofera 9 лет назад

      Do you have training in using your knife? cause i notice a load of people don't realize that its more likely you'll hurt yourself if that's a close quarters defense say if you cant get your gun fast enough. Or is it just utility?

    • @86djtaylor
      @86djtaylor 9 лет назад +1

      dragofera I don't carry anything that I intend to use for defense that I'm not competent with. However, I choose to carry a backup gun for such situations. If they try to get my primary, they aren't going to expect me to pull another one. I encourage everyone to take some type of training class. The concealed weapons qualifying courses aren't training. They are just a test to make sure your not going to be spraying bullets all over the place. The problem with people who carry a gun today, is their ego. They don't take courses that they aren't any good at, they take courses that they think they are already good at. A combat pistol class is a great start. The "Fighting Pistol" class at Tactical Response is probably one of the best handgun classes in the nation. They also offer "The Fight" which is a hands on close quarter combat/hand to hand type class. Check them out. EVERYONE should take Fighting Pistol. My whole point of all of this, is for people to practice what they aren't any good at. Prepare for every scenario possible that way you won't ever be caught flat footed.

I live a couple of hours north of there and getting a ccw the further north that you go in this state the easier it gets. sad but true. the only real problem getting a ccw in my county in ca. is the sheriff's department is overwhelmed with the volume of applications to process but for the most part it is a shall issue county which is good in the entire state.

Also California has 4 of the top 10 cities that has the most homeless people and has one of the highest poverty levels in the U.S. so I'd argue it's not communist but just extremely populated

      My best watch runs about $450, but I paid less than $100 for it. Sportsmans Guide had it in one of their catalogs and I needed a new watch, so I got it. Didn't find out until a few months later what it really cost. It's a Wenger(Swiss) stainless-steel stopwatch model, that also happens to be water-proof to 100m.

    My EDC evolved with me through my highschool years into now my college years. I left middle school trying to do the cool thing of carrying stuff with me and started with a cheap leather wallet that I wish I still had today but sadly it's too damaged to use anymore. Continuing on though into highschool things changed as I had to start carrying house keys as my parents stopped getting/being home when I got there so I started carrying a key and found that digging in my pocket got annoying so I put on a key ring and then filled a shotgun shell with hotglue to create a quick keypull that I let dangle from my pocket. I added to these over my years adding a toolbox key for this old military lock I got from a grandfather which I keep on my toolbox (a craftsman salvaged and repainted flat gray and black with a white interior (the gray is model master's gunship gray which is like 6 dollars a can for me and its the baby cans so I decided to leave it white interior) and then from there I added to it with a usb keychain when computer files became necessary in classes after I started carrying my laptop and having my desktop at home.... and now I'm at this current evolution. I carry a trifold wallet with my license, library card I keep for every once in a while when I visit, a pass to cedar fair parks (a yearly gift from my parents), a debit/bank card, cash, and my school issue ID as secondary identification, that goes in my front right pocket. In my left goes my phone which is currently an S8 with the new Element cases a surprising jump from the bodyglove cases I used to use and then with my wallet goes my keys and depending on my clothing (cargo shorts or jeans, working on transitioning to cargo pants as well) I usually stick a knife in my pocket without its clip solely for (at least on my knife) the glass breaker and belt cutter as the knife is more a commodity than a true useful item.

  • @krismueller
    @krismueller 7 лет назад

    I'm a huge fan of that pen. I've always kept one in my pocket for several years now, for it's price I'd say it's worth it. I don't know if it'd help Adam but as part of my everyday carry I used to have (I lost it recently and haven't replaced it yet) a Utili-Key 6-in-1 on my keyring with the rest of my keys. Some of the items seem awkward to use, like the flat screwdriver, I absolutely love the serrated blade. The fact it's discreet, and that it fits right in with my keys, I'd always have it with me.

Simple on/off button with no menus, USB rechargeable so Ill plug it in maybe once or twice a week with a microUSB next to my phone. The pocket clip has not getten all bent out like a lot of those clips and is shaped like a flat "S" so it can be clipped on the sun visor of a hat or anywhere else. 500 lumens. I really cant recommend it enough.

I own about six of the VTC4's and they work great, but I ordered them from RTDVapor, a site I never would of known of if it hadn't been for my vaping habit. They can be found at local vape shops...but you can't necessarily be sure of their authenticity if you go that route. Also, local vape shops seem to lack the same knowledge that the vaping and flashlight communities have...I keep hearing the VTC5 sold as a 30amp battery, when it's actually only rated at 20amps while the VTC4 is an actual 30 amp battery.

      A concealed carry gun isn't made to be something you use everyday. People who carry hope they will never need to use it. However you can easily find videos of people whos lives are saved because they were carrying. The chances are small you will need a gun, but there is still a chance. You seem to be upset at people who like to be prepared. With that attitude I hope you also don't have smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher, air bags in your car, a spare tire in your car or something else that you won't use every day.

    • @plainlake
      @plainlake 9 лет назад +3

      LostMilitia92 I dont carry around a smoke alarm fire extinguishers or air bags on my person.. And even if I they would not really create a life threatening danger to every human in my vicinity.
      But this is probably a question on different worldviews. I am a fan of Kants categorical imperative (basically the golden rule) And if I were true to that it would mean that I would be ok with everyone carrying a gun at all times. And personally I would not feel safer if everyone around me could easily kill a dozen people around them if they had a really bad day.

    • @LostMilitia92
      @LostMilitia92 9 лет назад +8

      plainlake I didn't say you carried them on your person, I was making an example of different scenarios people prepare for. Also the act of carrying a gun does not "create a life threatening danger to every human in my vicinity". Have you looked up the statistic of people who have a concealed carry permit and how they are statistically some of the most law abiding people in the U.S.? How many examples can you give me of people with a concealed carry permit committing a crime? I too would love if everyone in the world followed the golden rule, that is simply not the world we live in.

      I kind of questioned your claim here so putting the burden of proof on me is not ok.
      But your question ticked my interest enough for a quick search, here are 29 mass shootings done by people with a concealed carry permit since may 2007. www.vpc.org/fact_sht/ccwmassshootings.pdf , and apparently 659 humans have been killed in the US by concealed carry users. and 15 of those killed were law enforcement officers. This is not really convincing me here.
