Knives that are more expensive than your firearm is crazy to me but to each is own. At least look into the bodyguard 2.0 because it has more rounds and better ergonomics.
It has some issues that need to be worked out. The feed ramp is split and it doesn't like some hollow points. Great feeling gun tho for sure. Imma give them a year to work out the kinks
CRKT has been upping their knife game. I’m glad to see it. Personally, I’m no longer a fan of OTFs. I’ve had Benchmades and Microtechs fail to deploy or other problems. I’ve never had an issue with an out the side auto. And with the quick deployment methods on a lot of manual folders, I don’t see the value of an OTF whether it be use case or cost anymore. I’m also a bit surprised you don’t EDC a multitool. I know you have them. While I don’t use one daily, it is something I use quite frequently.
Envious of the goat. Too old to get an OTF, the crap from when I was a kid keeps me from taking the plunge. Thank you again for another informative and enjoyable video
Eclipse holsters are amazing. Been running one for 4 years now and it’s still in perfect condition. Look them up man. I think you would really like them!
On person today: Claw Knife, right appendix, Leatherman Skeletool, right hip, front right pocket-Robyvon A3 and Kershaws smallest knife/bottle opener, left hip-Spyderco Delica Vg10 steel. Neck carry, always, lanyard with titanium self-defense defense triangle stinger/knucks. I sometimes alternate the Spyderco for a Benchmade depending on need and clothing. Often I cross appendix carry to the left Outdoor Edge Le Hawk. Leaving the house I add my Victorinox Ranger and Fanny pack or cross body for carry and one of my canes, always. I also add a second flashlight, tactical, super bright. Palm size first aid kit, phone, sunglasses and a neck gaiter or schmaug as needed.
If you upgrade your boomstick , shield plus is nice. If you want to get something larger but still really thin, Sig Fuse is really nice ( I wanted to hate it, then I shot it and had to have it.) I would definitely recommend 9mm vs 380 cheaper to shoot and better penetration and terminal ballistics.
I haven't seen that CRKT before. I wish I could justify another nice nice cause that one is sick. I've also had a similar trajectory with concealed carry. I carried a S&W 38 for years and still carry it from time to time. I also carried a bodyguard as my maximum concealment pistol until recently. I actually like the double action trigger over my Ruger LCP II. I'll carry a 9 mm from time to time, but I've gravitated almost exclusively to the new Bodyguard 2.0. It's become my favorite and is only minimally larger than the original Bodyguard. so easy to carry and one of the flatter and softer shooting micro 380s out there.
My favorite holsters come from JX tactical. They’re phenomenal holsters for simple EDC. They don’t make one for the original bodyguard but they have one for the bodyguard 2.0 and the J frame revolvers, along with just about any other common gun model out there.

I got a couple different holsters for daily carry for different weapons. I mainly daily my hellcat and cycle my vader holster or my t1c with a wedge. When I carry my g19 I’ll use an alien gear holster. I got the shapeshift and love the versatility (basically 4 holsters in 1 package) Can’t go wrong with any of those brands in my opinion!
Great purpose built on-body carry! That MKC knife seems like a workhorse. Non-smart watches are great. I'm still enjoying my Hamilton khaki field automatic watch.
my carry for most days atm is OD green Olight warrior mini 2 in left front pocket, green civivi elementum utility knife front right pocket. pilot evolt pen that sits next to my knife and phone, wallet, and keys stay in my helikontex wasitbag.
Good afternoon X you should look into eclipse holsters. They are amazing. That’s what I buy for all my guns. You can get multiple colors multiple patterns and multiple caring’s options. Stay well, my friend hurrah.
Im rocking the Chris Reeve Inkosi or Guardian Tactical 035g2 otf for my knife, Sig P365xl spectre 9mm or S&W Bodyguard 2.0 for the pew, Trayvax ascent wallet, Nitecore edc23 for the light, and the Samsung galaxy s24+ for phone. Absolutely love this combination and it works great for me. You should really try the bodyguard 2.0. Hands down the best 380 ive owned and shot. I have a vedder pocket holster for it for days when I want something lighter weight over the p365xl or wearing gym shorts
@@MuricaPatriot1776 I also carry the Trayvax Ascent I love how thin and I carry few things in it so it’s perfect for now. Have a friend who laughed at me and said it wasn’t a wallet meanwhile he is carrying a huge thick leather brick with a bunch of nonsense with him. I laughed and asked why he carried so much garbage with him?
Ombraz prescription glasses, rock island 1911 in .45 in a Tier1 appendix holster, log and iotter notepad inside a generic amazon horse leather cover ( doubles as wallet), keybar in aluminum, olight i3eos, vosteed mini nightshade. Samsung s10 ( yup old af but still works) lol county comm automatic pilot watch in bronze.
If you decide to go for a new Boomstick, take a look at the Ruger LCP Max. You get 10 rounds for only a minimal increase in size. I used to carry my Glock 27 .40 cal for years and I probably should stick with it, but we're always looking to try something new aren't we? I also have a g43X which was going to be my main carry, but the grip just sticks out too much unless i'm wearing exactly the right shirt. I can't do IWB like some folks, that is not at all comfortable. Semper Fi!
I hate to say but with that gun, since the new bodyguard 2.0 came out most people are making holsters for that. (Side note if you did end up getting the 2.0 id go with Hell Hound Arms). Best holster I could find was incognito concealment for the bodyguard 1.0.
I would go with a leather holster the bodyguard, in my experience a kydex holster is extremely uncomfortable for apendix carrying my lcp which is kinda weird because I carry my full size in a kydex holster with no issues.
Holsters alpha omega kydex holster or t-Rex arms are my favorite. Plus alpha omega kydex is also Texas made I Austin and he has the most option for guns and lights
I have leather front pocket bifold wallet, leatherman wave+, Timex work watch, knafs lander 2 and elementum button lock and stream-light pro-tac 2LX light.
Been looking at the FATTAC holsters, Kydex. Not sure where it is manufactured though. If anyone has insight/experience with this please comment as well. Thanks as always Marine X.
Ordered two Wubens on 12/24, still waiting for them to show up. Sent three emails, no response. They seem to be racking up some negative reviews. You might want to rethink marketing for them.
I have the BG 1.0 and it is a great pistol. I have tried 5 different BG 2.0 and that gun could get you killed for sure. Some many issues and you have to try different ammo. No thank you.
It probably wouldn’t be as popular a video but I would love if someone did some edc with recommendations for edc in non USA as for example I’m from Aus so no guns and strict knife laws I would love if people posed alternative solutions also if you have any recommendations for channels for this kind of stuff please let me know
For 300 go for microtech. Made in America free sharpening life of knife great warranty and quality...i have tons of microtech autos for trade. Like a microtech hawk.

Love your set up my guy. Also your channel deserves so much more traffic and viewership. It’s so well done.
Next step up is the sheild plus. Major upgrade, they do make lights for them, they come with night sights and anything else you need
You will love the bodyguard 2.0!
Brand New to this whole world.... Living in Ireland... I have some things I carry, but I need to evaluate and improve! Subbed!

Eclipse holsters are sweet. I’ve had mine a little over 2 years. I would second your recommendation.
Your channel is super underrated my man. Really love the content!
Appreciate the support bro!
That bodyguard 380 is such a great looking gun. Tempted to pick one up soon.
Tulster. Love their holsters- you won’t be disappointed.
A Vaer watch is good as a gift for a teenager as well! They flat and affordable so perfect to get someone into watches

Really like that you keep it real and give us honest reviews, I also like that you show more of the pew pew in your videos
Thanks much!
You should try the VNSH holster for your boom stick… it will fit most styles of boom sticks

Have you tried out the S&W Bodyguard 2.0??
Bro- check out the Bodyguard 2.0!!! That paired with a Vedder light tuck is pure bliss.
Knife selection is damn nice.
The Vedder SideTuck Kydex IWB is an awesome holster…
Thanks for sharing…
Salute!🍃🍃🫡
For a CCW holster I run an LLOD kydex in appendix for my Glk 43X. I like how it carries and having a holster with built-in spare mag carrier is nice.

Thanks brother. Final cut pro
Best holster is from QVO , then TXC. I have both. Highly recommend either one.
Appreciate the recommendations.

The pocket locker holster is a great pocket holster for both the 1.0 & 2.0
Solid, bro! For a blaster that size I'd go any kydex holster with a DCC clip
Good looking out
@@MarineX highly recommend the DCC clip. Usually carry lcp 2 with we the people holster, their clips are trash but excellent once replaced the clip
@@MarineXoh but u do have to slightly file the holes because they don't line up with wtp holsters 100%, but easy to do
Great video bro

I carry a fixed blade in my boot. How do you feel about boot blades for EDC or in general?
I carried a push dagger in my boot at one time. I found it was a convenient place to carry it. But if I needed quick access, it wasn’t the best.
We the people holsters or eclipse holsters
well built OTF knifes are so expensive. I myself stick to fix blades.
Do you know of jeans that have a mag pocket in them like blue denim jeans
Here you go shrsl.com/4ty5n
