    During 13 years as a trucker I carried the Skeletal CX with the 154CM blade every single day for over a million miles. It's seen constant use and still holds up. I've also used D2 extensively and can confirm that it's a workhorse steel.

    Flowfold Wallet is an awesome one for a minimalist. I use a ranger band (heavy rubber band) to hold the less used cards and backup cash, then leave my three most used cards loose in front. That system has worked well for years. Keeps cards clean to, for the working folks.

    D2 and 1095 are 2 of my favorite steels on pocket knives. I own around 300 knives and counting. What many are too young to know is D2 was once considered a premium steel before today's much more complex premium steels. D2 is a true workhorse steel perfectly balancing toughness and resilience. Whenever I see anyone dogging on D2, I know they are merely echoing others who base their negative perceptions purely on price points. D2 is simply a mass-produced steel on a scale larger than all of today's premium steels combined, which equates to a much lesser expensive price point. D2 is a workhorse steel for the working person and not just expensive pocket candy for opening Amazon packages.

    One thing I'd really love to have in a EDC torch is the red LED. People think the red LED is a gimmick, but nothing preserves your night vision like that red LED. You can reserve the high-lumen torch to flashbang someone when in a pinch XD
    Couple of watch-related points:
    - what's that gorgeous single-pass NATO on the SKX? I love them NATO straps, and the SKX platform is such a strap monster. You can get a totally new watch just by swapping out the strap for a bracelet or another strap
    - worth keeping an eye out: Seiko is releasing an Alpinist GMT. 3-day power reserve, 200m water resist, sapphire glass with AR coating, ultra-hard finishing, all the mid-range Prospex goodies. The catch is that it's a caller GMT, and that the original colorway (gold hands on sunburst green dial) is a JDM exclusive. But that, for me, would probably be *the* GADA watch. Dress, field, travel (or anything that requires you to track two time zones), even some water time? Yes please.

      RovyVon have several options for EDC flashlights with secondary red LEDs. They are usually on the side and are designed for flood, not throw, but they are indeed quite useful for preserving that night vision. Personally I use the A8 Gen 4 with the White/Red/UV side lights, and I keep it on my keychain.

    I’ve been using the Carhartt canvas wallet with zipper for a few months. For short lists and quick notes, I slipped some blank business card-sized card stock into the rear horizontal slip pocket and added an adhesive pen loop to that same pocket. Didn’t even have to adhere it - friction holds it nicely in place. Added a Fisher space pen to the loop. Great little compact system that would be fine for a pocket, but I mostly use with a slim cross-body bag. (BTW, I love fountain pens and carry a three-pen sleeve with my planner, but I don’t have them on me ALL the time.) That Lochby looks tempting!

    Alright nice. You have a clear concise speaking voice, no accent. I suggest you talk to local radio and TV station in your area. Make a demo tape and apply for Voice Over jobs. I worked at both TV and radio stations and appreciate a clear voice just slow your speech down a little. It doesn’t pay a ton of money but once you’ve become a local voice they tend to use you for YEARS. Also local ad agencies will use you as well. Good luck✌🏼

    Excellent and convincing presentation (as well as video editing). I like the reassuring and moderate tone, the fluent but not aggressive verbal speed of expression, qualities that are very rare among bloggers/youtubers.
    I have just one small consideration, strictly personal: I got the shivers when, pointing at the (beautiful) dial of the Seiko watch, you use as a pointer the blade of the Tanto, sharper than a razor. Unless the Seiko's dial glass is made of unbreakable sapphire, it would be enough to touch it with that blade to scratch it irreparably...

    The Cold Steel Code 4 tanto is S35VN steel and comes in at just over a hundred bucks. Great knife, I have the clip point and love it. It's the thinnest folder I have, and fits in just about any pocket.

So, I use it as a key ring and know I can easily make a fire with it till the fuel runs out, Then take it apart for a spark/fire starter for quite awhile after. It's a decent enough keyring. It's mostly to hold 4 special keys for my job.

    I've been loving my Lochby pocket notebook case, and I'm thinking of trying to use it as a wallet. Since I also to carry a separate wallet, I sometimes leave the notebook at home and then regret not having it on me when an idea strikes, but if I keep my essentials in it, I'll have to bring it everywhere with me. The only thing is that since it's so large, I have to take it out of my pocket when I sit down, so that'd be my wallet on the table/desk all the time...maybe a little bit more risky for losing it or something. Worth an experiment though!
