Cool list, but my own EDC I can do without the multi-tool and wallet, so I'd put a few more dollars into the quick release keychain just to get a stronger magnet. The Zebra pens come in second to the G2 Pilot pens IMO. Love the QSP Penguin pick too, and can't argue with an Olight I guess:)
@@geico1975 i also prefer the G2 pilot pens, and I would choose a better light if budget allowed. I just threw the list together to see if I could conceptualize a better kit going by his criteria in the video. Edit: My personal EDC is much more expensive.
Only thing I'd change is Zebra pens because their quality is abysmal. Many other options, some are even a little cheaper. I bought that exact same pen about a month ago and it was a choppy mess. Pulled the other one out of the 2 pack and it was even worse. Threw them away and bought pilot g2 and Sharpie S-Gel. Both have been flawless.
@@xDooksx QSP Penguin was my first QSP and my second was the Parrot. Both good EDC's for sure. There's so many though of that size, materials and cost, which are great! Even a couple models of Ganzo knives are just fine EDC's for anyone.
Nite Ize keyrack slide lock $5, Chums Surfshorts wallet $10, Zebra F301 pen $7, Streamlight Microstream USB $30, Gerber Shard multi tool $7. Leaving $41 for a knife. The Chums Surfshorts wallet is a very underrated Wallet. I love mine!
For a tiny mini square flashlight with red LED, I would highly recommend Rovyvon E7. Not only it has brighter twin LEDs, but also dual white/red sidelight flood light modes. Best of all it has both an internal rechargeable battery and AAA battery as primary or backup.
I have the Victorinox Rambler. It's basically the Rally with scissors. I love the mini phillips head screwdriver. It's the most used tool on there for me. Great video. Keep up the good work!
Would love to see the “Worst EDC” carry you can put together, full carry for as cheap as you can… without it being the absurdly worst thing you can get!
I love when you do these challenges! I would like to see you actually shopping and picking out the stuff, like you did in the first couple videos. Other than that awesome vid man, keep them coming!
Personally, I would nix the flashlight (a phone has a passable light), and combine the knife and multi tool into one (by doing this you can get a nicer tool, and at this price point, you don't need two dedicated tools). Here's my stab: - Gerber Gear Suspension NXT: $29.99 - Nite Ize Dual Locking Carabineer: $2.95 - Magpul Daka Essentials: $16.95 Total cost: $49.91 This has the benefit of giving you a nice pair of pliers as well. If you don't need the pliers, I'd switch the Gerber for a Milwaukee 6-in-1 Fastback. Utility knife EDC isn't flashy, but it's got a lot going for it, plus it'll save you another $5.
$50? No sweat! - Pen ($3.14): Zebra F-301 Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Stainless Steel Barrel, Fine Point, 0.7mm, Blue Ink, 1-Pack - Flashlight ($6.99): Foxhawk Mini EDC LED Flashlight, Cree XPG2 R5, AAA, Max 180 Lumens, Black - Wallet/Keys ($9.99): Chums Surfshorts Wallet, Lightweight Zippered Minimalist Water Resistant Wallet with Key Ring - Knife/Multitool ($12.85): Mil-Tec MI212 Military Folding Knife w/ Saw Blade, OD Green - Watch ($15.88): Casio W-217H-9AVCF TOTAL: $48.85 (enough left to add on a $0.99 bandana/handkerchief, to round out the carry!)
fun little challenge! I like your pen, knife, and SAK choices. Here's mine: Idakekiy Key Chain with quick release: 7.99 Minimalist wallet: 9.99 Pilot G2 gel pen-2 pack: 2.98 Victorinox Rambler: 26.98 Olight I1R 2 Pro: 21.98 Civivi Mini Praxis: 29.75 Total: $99.64 Note: You could swap the Rambler for the Spartan if you wanted a bigger SAK, or drop it all together and pick your favorite casio if you want to go watch instead.
I love these complete carry videos. I'd love to see you do one where instead of setting an overall budget, you set a budget for each item like $50 per item or something.
I have a $100 carry that I use quite a bit because I don’t mind losing parts of it. It’s as follows (all purchased this year, but some were on sale): Civivi Praxis: $32 Nextool Mini Sailor Lite: $20 Rovyvon A3: $16 Hamans Titanium Multi Pry Bar: $16 Zebra F-301: $4 Chums wallet: $12
What about a $100 EDC build without the knife? That way you can show some better quality items that we might not know about without half the budget going to the knife. I feel like people are pickier about their knife choices anyway and so whatever budget knife you pick, 75+% of people aren't going to be interested in that knife anyway.
Got to love Old Milwaukee Fastback 1505 -$20 Folding 1/4 bit holder with reversible Phillips and flathead, bottle opener, wire stripper, and folding utility knife.
No longer an outdoor type, my EDC: Carried on belt - Swiss Army Knife (Champ) in belt holster. 2 x Jigsaw blades (one metal, one wood) each in 1/4" heat shrink tube. 3" piece of hot melt glue stick Pen Lighter 1/2 round sharpening stone Key for house, on key ring with mini LED light, and 9mm Olfa utility knife, cut down to 3" long. Right angle LED light Leatherman Wave (this may be removed) 1 X $100 bill, rolled up (optionally folded small). I used to carry a $20 bill, but that wont buy anything now, as backup. Carried in pockets - Folded bandana, 2 x folded down paper towers, 1 X pack of tissues Cell phone Fresnel lens attached to cell phone in ID badge holder Wallet Spare key for house, on key ring with mini LED light 12' X 750# paracord And occasionally, conceal carry .40 cal pocket pistol.
FYI, in the 1960s and 70’s, arts and crafts teachers were told to tell kids who they saw were butterfingers to never cut towards themselves because they didn’t want to liability of the parents of these kids suing the schools. Somehow it became a norm that you shouldn’t cut towards yourself. It’s completely nonsensical to anyone who has any skills and motor control. The butterfingers of this world should follow this, but they generally would not be interested in anything EDC. And if you are an EDC person and you are tempted to say this, then you are the person that everyone regards as a fuss budget
- Victorinox Rambler $35 (has mini screwdrivers) - Milwaukee Fastback $15 (has large screwdrivers) - Olight i1R 2 flashlight (1000 lumens) $18 - Travelambo minimalist wallet $8 - any pocket or belt case (earbud case, Altoids tin, pill case, sunglasses case, etc.) for carrying a pen, mini-notepad, meds, etc. $8 or less ===== $84 A Bic Round Stic is practically free and can be cut in half to fit in any case, but if you want to get a little slicker, buy a Fisher Space Pen refill and wrap it with gaffer tape to give it some thickness and allow you to use the tape in a pinch.
Taylor, cut towards yourself all you want. But you keep going on and on about how you never leave the house without a TPT and you STILL choose to open packages with a 3 inch blade?!
@@Cursed_Curator Cause a normal knife can open Amazon packages aswell?! Utility knives are nice to have on you for when you're cutting stuff that would put unnecessary wear on a normal knife like sandpaper or chicken wire. You really don't need to overthinking what knife your going to use to cut tape. He just grabbed the shamen and went with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Out of all the wallets I’ve tried. The chums surf wallet for $10 is by far the best. It’s slimmer than the ridge style wallets plus you can make one zipper pocket as a utility pocket . I keep a 58mm sak a rovyvon bandaids and some pills and it’s still more comfortable than other wallets with only my cards in it.
It would be cool to see a Vs. video where you buy a couple different carries (for $100) and compare them. Maybe allow submissions and have people vote for at least one of the options.
My general EDC is - Knife, Multitool, Flashlight, Lighter, Wallet, Watch and a pistol and a phone now obviously the phone and pistol aside for 100 I would - if I was sticking to my criteria of my current system I would select - * Average Price On Amazon (I would have to remove the knife actually) Multi Tool/ Knife - Victorinox Huntsman - 33 Flashlight - Sofirn Sp10 Pro -23 Wallet - Chums Surf - 11 Watch - Casio Forester 28 Bic Lighter - 3 98 dollars. I own all these things and use them and rotate them often. My current EDC however is a Esee Izula S35vn, Leatherman Signal, Armytek Wizard Pro C2, Garmin Instinct, Chums Surf Short Wallet and a bic around a total cost of about 600. Oof. Im glad Im not buying anything else.
The casio MDV106-1AV is a great casio diver it has a 200m depth rating and it has different color bezal inserts it 50 bucks and you can put 22 mm straps on it (Ignore the description it says bidirectional bezal but it is a uni) I got one for edc cause I have an expensive watch and I really don't want to mess it up so I have the black version with a black metal bracelet and it's wonderful Sorry about the spelling
How about a series of x dollar items. For example, best knife for $20, best flashlight for$20, etc. Whatever dollar amount, then someone could save for each one.
got to say i had never heard of the chums wallets before i saw one of your videos, thank you it is such a great choice for me having to wear a suit to have such a light weight wallet i can just toss into my inside jacket pocket
Great Video... I'd ditch the key gismo (they disconnect.. Yikes) and upgrade to the Victorinox Rambler 58mm Swiss Army Knife - 10 Function Small Pocket Knife, Red. You get convenient scissors in addition to the bottle opener and screwdriver. The tweezers are also great. I carried this knife on an AT-through hike in 2007.
Can’t see, just dropping $100, on most of that! I agree with the Fenix E03R, mine is in my around the house clothes pants pocket. I’ve had it for about two years, & it’s the most used flashlight I have! As for the wallet, your idea of the rubber bands may of been better! I like my pocket knives to have just a steel blade, not black, or green, or beige. I carry a Zebra 701, have had for years. Tried a magnetic key ring, a few years ago, I was lucky, someone saw me lose my keys, & yelled out to me. I decided not to take that route again. Drive carefully, & smile often!
@@Horde334 Shortly after I got the Fenix light, I make a Paracord fob for it. Easy to pull out of my pocket. Pendant would work well also. I keep a little rechargeable Olight on my key ring.
Nice job. Maybe next instead of $100 limit. Do best value edc. Or only buy stuff you haven't owned and use it for awhile then tell us if you would buy it again or choose something else.
Surprised you didn't go with a civivi mini praxis. They're only $30 and D2 (it's currently the knife that goes everywhere with me). Only downside is the handle might be a little smaller than you like. Could've done that and then gotten a Rambler for your Swiss army knife instead and gotten the best of the rally and classic SD in one tool.
The key to a successful 100 or even 50 dollar EDC is to include the 10 dollar liner lock unassisted flipper with bearings pocketknife from Harbor Freight. It's currently my favorite pocketknife under 25 bucks.
Ruike P801 Frame Lock /14C28N steel. $34.95 SAK Classic SD sapphire $17.92 Zebra F-301 Blue $3.14 Chelmon Slim Wallet $6.99 RovyVon A1 usbC 650 lumen $ 22.91 Nite Ize S-Binder #3 dual lock $2.97 $88.88 Probably upgrade to a SAK tinker or add a little Kershaw or Gerber pry bar. But honestly out of these things I'd actually buy probably the knife as one to hand to others, and the SAK.
Theres a “hybrid 1000 lumen headlamp” from energizer…. Its L shape, and takes cr123 or a 18650…. Use it in the next edc… as a construction guy, it took over my coast hx5… its UI is good… after 8 secondsof on, when yon turn it off, it comes back on to that setting, so good.
You're being mean to the SAK Rally. It swaps out the scissors of the Classic for a Philips screwdriver. Depends which you'd rather have. They do make a model with both, but that's a bit wider and more expensive.
Great video! The items might not be a first choice for regular carry but, hey, in a pinch if you can use what you have then it’s a win. Thanks. My favorite item was the knife. No-frills. Useable.
Next cheap edc you do you ought to check out CJRB knives. They are the Civivi level of Artisan Cutlery. They average in the 30 to 50 dollar price point but are great quality just like Civivi. They use mainly RPM9 steel.
For the wallet, I would’ve gotten a Ranger band, made from bike inner tubes. Very durable very stretchy multi use, but also would double as an impromptu Wallet. Not sure what your standards were for this test as far as wallets go, but that’s the big thing I would’ve done to save some money to maybe apply elsewhere even though your wallet was crazy cheap
Great vid - try maybe each item 30-50 bux- build epic budget carry but solid in each category--- never met some1 to buy their whole edc in 1 buy ----- still makes for awesome vids tho --- rock on amigo
Don't cut toward yourself is a great rule until you learn to do so safely. Keep your hands out of the way, don't put arteries in the path of the blade, etc
my edc is -microtech utx-85 black d/e -microtech utx-85 purple d/e -microtech utx-70 green d/e -microtech exocet sandtrooper d/e -microtech exocet black d/e -hogue incursion tanto black -hogue hadron d/a gray -kershaw livewire -dietz little wizard
The magnetic keyring I would switch up with mechanical version funny enough I still have the one I baught and used since high-school though I use it to hold my leather outback hat still iys never failed and I can assure you my hat ways much more than keys have even take a tumble or two down a hill and still had my hat on my bag
So... If I was going $100 budget I'd be happy with: (prices rounded up with cash left over.) -Sitivien ST124 in Jade g10 for $30 before a 5% coupon at check out. (Fidgety cross-bar Lock. Own one already and it works surprisingly well. But if push came to shove and I needed to save a little $$ I'd be able to work with a Kabar Dozier at around $25) -Rovyvon A1 for $20 -EDC Pocket organizer for $11 (Arc Company Bolder Wallet knock-off) -Victorinox Tinker for $22 (multitool needs to multitool... a Classic doesn't) -Pokka pen ($8 for one out of a 2-pk at $16) -$8 on a Gerber Mullet as a Keyring/Prybar/Key hanger/"multitool" thing Tinker would go on the mullet with keys and a free rubber band from work as a key silencer (and hang from a belt loop or rest at the bottom of a deep front pocket). Pokka Pen and RovyVon would go in the edc wallet which can also hold several cards and a couple large denomination emergency bills in a front off-hand pocket (I primarily pay for things with my phone). Sitivien clipped to a main-hand pocket (either front or back depending on preference) This mirrors elements of my actual edc. Under 4 inch blade on the Sitivien ST124 keeps it Florida Legal and I appreciate that it has a 90° spine for scraping tasks. EDC wallet lets me access Pen (sign invoices) or Flashlight (peer into dark corners) without pulling the wallet out. Prybar for prying on things like nails stuck in pallet jack wheels in my case. Victorinox to tighten loose screws, open after work beverages, pull splinters, etc etc etc...

Here's my $100 EDC list suggestion:
-QSP Penguin in Jade G10 with a D2 blade $31.50
-Zebra Pen F-701 retractable ballpoint pen stainless steel 0.8mm black ink (1-pack) $8.07
-Olight I3E 90 LumensEOS PMMA compact keychain flashlight $9.95

Good picks, but a Qsp parrot is also nice and less expensive than the penguin.
@@xDooksx
QSP Penguin was my first QSP and my second was the Parrot. Both good EDC's for sure. There's so many though of that size, materials and cost, which are great! Even a couple models of Ganzo knives are just fine EDC's for anyone.
Nite Ize keyrack slide lock $5, Chums Surfshorts wallet $10, Zebra F301 pen $7, Streamlight Microstream USB $30, Gerber Shard multi tool $7. Leaving $41 for a knife. The Chums Surfshorts wallet is a very underrated Wallet. I love mine!

That Fenix light is awesome. I have one and it is amazing how bright it is. I just wish it was a little larger for a little more battery life.
I know it's not cheap, but the olight arkfeld is the best edc light for me.
Nice job. Maybe next instead of $100 limit. Do best value edc. Or only buy stuff you haven't owned and use it for awhile then tell us if you would buy it again or choose something else.
Great vid. I’d love to see a $1000 dollar edc video
Awesome vid! I think it'd be great if you did one of these $____ Complete Carries but we got to come up with the carry then you review them.
Surprised you didn't go with a civivi mini praxis. They're only $30 and D2 (it's currently the knife that goes everywhere with me). Only downside is the handle might be a little smaller than you like. Could've done that and then gotten a Rambler for your Swiss army knife instead and gotten the best of the rally and classic SD in one tool.
The key to a successful 100 or even 50 dollar EDC is to include the 10 dollar liner lock unassisted flipper with bearings pocketknife from Harbor Freight. It's currently my favorite pocketknife under 25 bucks.
I bought 2. Because yes. I use my nicer Kershaw for EDC and my HF for work EDC.
@@mourneris IMO the HF is superior to many of the Walmart grade Kershaw and CRKT, and all the Gerber. Amazing for 10 bucks.
Ruike P801 Frame Lock /14C28N steel. $34.95
SAK Classic SD sapphire $17.92
Zebra F-301 Blue $3.14
Chelmon Slim Wallet $6.99
RovyVon A1 usbC 650 lumen $ 22.91
Nite Ize S-Binder #3 dual lock $2.97
$88.88
Probably upgrade to a SAK tinker or add a little Kershaw or Gerber pry bar.
But honestly out of these things I'd actually buy probably the knife as one to hand to others, and the SAK.
Victorinox swiss champ, or victorinox mini champ... Both have pens, and knife blade.
Does anyone know what the best place is to buy ranger eye patches?
Theres a “hybrid 1000 lumen headlamp” from energizer…. Its L shape, and takes cr123 or a 18650…. Use it in the next edc… as a construction guy, it took over my coast hx5… its UI is good… after 8 secondsof on, when yon turn it off, it comes back on to that setting, so good.
For the price for knives the ruike p801 and qsp penguin are both great choices
i like cutting towards myself, it keeps me awake and makes me pay attention.
Got the rally one time for the budget, actually like that thing it lives on my desk and find myself using it all the time
You're being mean to the SAK Rally. It swaps out the scissors of the Classic for a Philips screwdriver. Depends which you'd rather have. They do make a model with both, but that's a bit wider and more expensive.
Great video! The items might not be a first choice for regular carry but, hey, in a pinch if you can use what you have then it’s a win. Thanks. My favorite item was the knife. No-frills. Useable.
For the pens you should have gotten the Bic Atlantis
This is perfect ! i had to sell EVERYTHING when both my parents died this year so i can stay at his house so this is literally my budget lol
The Acumen is actually a decent knife. Reminds me of my F5.5
A zebra pen is always my go to for 4 bucks and metal
Next cheap edc you do you ought to check out CJRB knives. They are the Civivi level of Artisan Cutlery. They average in the 30 to 50 dollar price point but are great quality just like Civivi. They use mainly RPM9 steel.
I’ve done one with the Feldspar
I think the Zebra X-701 is the best budget pen
Buck Bantam 19.99, Zebra F 701 8.07., SOG POWERINT 46.99, Olight 13T EOS 19.95, xabono AirTag wallet 4.00. Total 99.00
use the magnetic link to attach the flashlight to one of the knives? maybe that was the underlying thought?
Got to love that Amazon packaging. 😅
Taylor, that is a good looking knife 👍
I like these budget challenge videos but I have to agree with you. Absolutely nothing in this video caught my eye
For the wallet, I would’ve gotten a Ranger band, made from bike inner tubes. Very durable very stretchy multi use, but also would double as an impromptu Wallet. Not sure what your standards were for this test as far as wallets go, but that’s the big thing I would’ve done to save some money to maybe apply elsewhere even though your wallet was crazy cheap
These are always fun to watch ✌️
You should do a $100 or however much Etsy video 🤔
Great vid - try maybe each item 30-50 bux- build epic budget carry but solid in each category--- never met some1 to buy their whole edc in 1 buy ----- still makes for awesome vids tho --- rock on amigo
Had that light for a long time on my keys. Can't fault it at all.
Why not get a Parker pen? Or do those not retail in America?
DEAD RIGHT NO THOUGHT OF CHANGING, I DIDNT WANNA SEE WATCHES THOUGHT ABOUT IT ONCE AFTER U SAID IT BUT NAHH GREAT ASSUMTIONS!!!
You should try the key unity bolt action pens
HELL YESS BACK TO THE ROOTS🎉❤
Best military store edc?
Don't cut toward yourself is a great rule until you learn to do so safely. Keep your hands out of the way, don't put arteries in the path of the blade, etc
Swap the knife for a buck 722 spitfire. Aluminum body, ergonomics of a spiderco. Thin. And screw holes on all corners for pocket clip options.
Good luck on the $50 adventure
my edc is
-microtech utx-85 black d/e
-microtech utx-85 purple d/e
-microtech utx-70 green d/e
-microtech exocet sandtrooper d/e
-microtech exocet black d/e
-hogue incursion tanto black
-hogue hadron d/a gray
-kershaw livewire
-dietz little wizard
I'd go for a 111mm Victorinox with a decent toolset instead of the knife+victorinox rally.
I may give this a shot at $50 looking forward to watching your $50 edc challenge
What about covering best uncommon Swiss army /multi tool parts?
The magnetic keyring I would switch up with mechanical version funny enough I still have the one I baught and used since high-school though I use it to hold my leather outback hat still iys never failed and I can assure you my hat ways much more than keys have even take a tumble or two down a hill and still had my hat on my bag
What knife were you opening everything with?
awesome video with lots of information.
The civivi mini praxis is great an a nice $30 on Amazon
Yeah man what were you thinking with that SAK ,although smaller a classic SD💩all over that one .
So... If I was going $100 budget I'd be happy with: (prices rounded up with cash left over.)
-Sitivien ST124 in Jade g10 for $30 before a 5% coupon at check out. (Fidgety cross-bar Lock. Own one already and it works surprisingly well. But if push came to shove and I needed to save a little $$ I'd be able to work with a Kabar Dozier at around $25)
-Rovyvon A1 for $20
-EDC Pocket organizer for $11 (Arc Company Bolder Wallet knock-off)
-Victorinox Tinker for $22 (multitool needs to multitool... a Classic doesn't)
-Pokka pen ($8 for one out of a 2-pk at $16)
-$8 on a Gerber Mullet as a Keyring/Prybar/Key hanger/"multitool" thing
Tinker would go on the mullet with keys and a free rubber band from work as a key silencer (and hang from a belt loop or rest at the bottom of a deep front pocket). Pokka Pen and RovyVon would go in the edc wallet which can also hold several cards and a couple large denomination emergency bills in a front off-hand pocket (I primarily pay for things with my phone). Sitivien clipped to a main-hand pocket (either front or back depending on preference)
This mirrors elements of my actual edc. Under 4 inch blade on the Sitivien ST124 keeps it Florida Legal and I appreciate that it has a 90° spine for scraping tasks. EDC wallet lets me access Pen (sign invoices) or Flashlight (peer into dark corners) without pulling the wallet out. Prybar for prying on things like nails stuck in pallet jack wheels in my case. Victorinox to tighten loose screws, open after work beverages, pull splinters, etc etc etc...
Best EDC channel on RUclips! Classic solid format!!!!! This is the kind of video that Taylor put out that sent me spiraling out of control into EDC!!! 😇🤜🤛😎 Keep up the amazing work Taylor!!!! #1 fan 😜👊
vosteed is my go to for under 100 bucks knife.
