We need a Dollar store edc for you to financially recover from this video
I would like to see that just for fun tbh
Horrifying idea
I'd watch that!
ya I'd watch...but its gonna suck. you need to do it.
He'll end up with an old school pencil a razor blade and some rubber bands, but it'll be hilarious.
No Bullet Pen? REI is canceled.
No patina is bad for the soul.
I love me some REI. Proud co-op member
Nice thing about REI - you've got an entire year to figure out if you like it or not. Keep your receipts and you can return.
Don't even need the receipt
I’m digging the vlog style you’ve been doing. Still enjoy the behind the desk edc weekly format too but the vlog type vids are my favorite.
I looked up the Fenix brand lights, since I've been shopping for a new work light to carry when I go to job sites. My old light needs a new battery and I just want something new. I saw the WT25R and that thing looks absolutely perfect for what I need. Glad I saw you mention their brand and I took the time to check into them.
When I saw it was REI I knew it was going to be expensive but damn... 😂
This man is so wholesome. Only channel I'm subscribed too
I love this channel!! I was looking for something like the orbit key!! That is perfect!!
This was fun! I just customized a Crooked River last week on their website and was debating on mini or full. Go big or go home! I can't wait for it to get here.
Ive been looking into the armbar and the ratchet adapter, i was thinking it would solve the issue of the non locking driver that so many reviews on TH-cam talk about. Nice to see that someone else thought of it too and that it works 👍
Great pick up from REI. I love that place! I have the RC05 SE and that is my current go to edc flashlight. I believe it is the REI special edition with the magnetic charging port on the side of the flashlight. I don’t remember if the one from Amazon had that same magnetic style of charging. Great video. Keep up the FANTASTIC work!
Finally a crooked river i absolutely love that knife!!!!!
Now I want to see a Sling Bag / Man Bag EDC weekly
Can anyone ID the sling bag Taylor is using in the video?
@@Justinator616 that's what I'm trying to figure out too
also aer city sling bag it’s nice too but you gotta be a little bit minimalism that’s at least my experience but let’s try to make taylor go more in depth about sling bags and make content about it !!!!!
Thicc: A compliment given to someone who's got a lot of CAKE! and you'd hit that
Thick: A insult meaning someone is fat and unattractive
Thic: A compliment or insult depending on what the person receiving it takes it as meaning someone is fat but you'd still hit that.
Co-sign
I LOVE my armbar! You forgot to mention the ability to hammer with it (when the bottle opener/pry bar is in the closed position). It’s come in handy, for sure. What other multi-tool has that option? Let’s be honest. Keep up the good work on dropping those LBS! Proud of you
$800 worth of likes 👍🏾
Nice haul! Looking forward to the Garmin watch review
Love this series.
They have fitness tracking rings now! Might be something work looking into since you're wanting to track your health stuff but still wear your automatic watches.
I work with security cameras. I bought an armbar last year for work and loved it, but always wished it had a ratchet driver built in. When I saw that Leatherman started making a ratcheting bit driver I bought it immediately! I've been using those in combo for about 4 months. I just got back from a trip to Tennessee (Smokey mountain knife works) yesterday and picked up the Leatherman Skeletool CX which fits the ratcheting driver natively and I think its finally time to retire the armbar. I was sitting here yelling at this video "Yes! they do work together!" with the driver and the armbar. Ridiculous spending, great video!
Mad props for choosing the Instinct Solar. To this day I regret not getting one after reviewing it, I went with the Fenix 6, but Fenix lacks that special something that Instinct has. And by the way - Garmin has the best gym tracking, especially when you'd add workouts manually in Garmin Connect - it can guide you through the entire workout session with timer, etc.
Got Instinct Solar and solar itself is pretty useless living in Poland ;) Probably living in California when sun shines almost every day it could make sense. It very decent watch for the price however you should really take into account whether you really need to pay more for solar panel :)
I have this existential crisis a couple times a month - lololol - that was very funny! Great video which is why I am a Patreon - keep em coming and thank you!
Proud of you for getting healthier hope you keep it up man.
He's eating junk in the video.
Bought my Instinct Solar last year and yep that's a great buy!
Love the instinct and crooked river. My knife was stolen by usps when I sent it in for warranty repair. Benchmade emailed me a photo of a torn open package! Good choice though!
I love REI. Bought quite a bit from them
Forgot you were a North Carolinian until I saw Gibson Mill in the background!
Great video, only rei I know of is at north lake, my favorite camping/bushcraft store lo.
Great video as always 👍
I carry my full-size Crooked River daily. I upgraded the clip with a LynchNW and it allows it to disappear in the pocket. I was surprised.
Love that watch, I’m a k9 handler at my local Sheriffs Office and I love the Garmin Instinct especially on tracks I can set a home point if I don’t have cell service my watch can keep track without having to stress
Nice to know, not that I’m a handler or anything, but it sounds good for someone who likes to go backpacking/camping..
Great video! Has anyone asked about your sunglasses? They look cool. Would you mind sharing the details?
Dude seeing your wife so supportive is so awesome :)
Great video man. You should try one of the hybrid smart watches that garmin or fossil makes. I own the fossil one and love it.
I have that same flashlight, I was also looking for the magnet charge but other than that the flashlight is awesome. Very bright and durability is great.
Ive got the garmin instinct and it has been great!
Would be curious to see review on the “dads Fanny”. Does it have a “tactical” crossover?
That Garmin will be on sale in the discord in a week
I think the light you may have referred to was the PD36R which has the exterior USB-C port. One I was impressed with for it's small size was the Fenix E12 for a small pocket light. The PD36R is a little big to keep in a pocket but fits great in my 2-slot holster (multi and flash light).
Hi nice video! Love your voice!! I have a question where do you have your glasses 👓 is it a holder?
This is the coolest store I’ve ever seen
Never handled one but that Crooked River sure is a good looking knife. Thanks!
I’ve been using Fenix for almost 10 years now. My original tk22 still works perfectly fine.
Love REI. As a backpacker, Red Cross volunteer and being in the military I almost always rely on my edc. I carry a CRKT knife, Gerber multi tool, rite in rain notebook, space pen, pocket size flashlight, headlamp, I wear a Garmin Fenix 6 pro, Oakley sunglasses and of course phone with my earbuds. Thats just my pocket edc. I carry a ruck or what people call a go bag every day.
I love my Armbar. I keep it, a compact lockpick set and a set of 1/4 bits in a small leather belt pouch while at work. Only thing I wish it had was some pliers. I'm going to need to get that leatherman ratchet though.
I carry the fenix ld30. Great flashlight
What does your lady carry? Found you while I was doing some research. Love your content. I’ve learned a lot!
I have that watch. It works well and if you are in the sun it keeps its battery well
Congrats on the weight loss, brother. Keep it up!
Like the watch with green straps
Ah... the REI at Northlake....haven't been there in several years. Might need to plan a visit.
What kind of watch are you wearing in this video? It’s real nice!!
I am glad and sad I don't have stores like that near me 😃☹️🤐🤦🏻♂️
You take the watch out & ur doing 👌🏼kay. I hv tht Fenix & works awesome as a house light. Super bright too. Solid💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👊🏼
What watch are you wearing in this video? Looks nice!
Great video and choices Taylor... though return that Fenix and get the Fenix PD36R. Youll love it more
Taylor, do you get any compensation for the items you review or purchase?
ThruNite Th30 is my favorite edc. I carry it at work and it has super low to blinding bright modes. It's also 90 degrees so its more comfortable to hold for me. I think ThruNite is one of the best brands on the scene! You should review a few soon.
I have an Omega, Doxa, Oris, Seiko, and several Tags. My Garmin Fenix 5x Plus in titanium is on my wrist every day.
I’ve been carrying waist pack for a long time thought you’ll never talk about it which i hope you do since they pretty useful for those extra things like vape juice powerbanks for my phone and vape gum and some other stuff like wearing joggers or pants with no so many pockets but being able to carry your entire EDC is awsome....i’ve always like the Garmin Fenix look but it just have a bunch of features that i know i’m not gonna use so for me an apple watch is the way to go
Hey, dude! I am from Brazil. Nice E.D.C, Nice car... but what really matter is go to a gym and work your body. Your body always will be your better Everyday Carry! Never forget that!
Really Enjoyed This Video! I Was Thinking You Should Try a Oura Ring Tracker.. So You Can Continue wearing Your Dope Watches and Take Back That Garmin Watch.
I'm curious what you think of the Instinct. I've bought mine a year ago and haven't taken it off since!
You should do a complete carry from Scheels if you haven’t before
Have you tried some of fossils smart watches. There like some of the standard analog watch but with some smart watch features.
Was that downtown Concord at the beginning? The stoplight at punchy's diner?
So so close to the $300 budget you had 😂. Loved the gear!! REI (minus the wallet LOL) was a success!
Could you do a video on best UK edc or At least knives. Getting ready to move to Scotland and my edc changing is probably the safest part. It would essentially become a “best slip joint knife for EDC” video. But that’s okay.
My REI carries Casio G-Shocks and Pathfinders. Did they have the REI Exclusive 940? That woulda been a sweet edition.
Highly recommend the glass protector for the watch
Hey buddy,
got a question on the Gerber armbar.
The armbar drive has terrible bad scissors so do you know any alternative minimalistic tool including knife, bit driver and a usable pair of scissors?
Cheers from germany!
The same REI I shop at 🙌🏽
Really getting into EDC, just purchased my first benchmade knife (infidel). Didn't know REI existed, and I'm so close to several locations!
Update on your edc gear ?
Did you mean to exclude the Gerber Armbar Drive from the final EDC? I'm really curious about your thoughts on it. I got one when it first launched and don't find myself carrying it much. I think it was a huge miss to not have the driver lock. A little too much pressure and it can fold up on you. Really cool design though. Just wish the driver locked and maybe a file instead of the awl, and maybe add a pair of tweezer, and throw on a pocket clip...oh wait I just described the Leatherman T4
REI has an exclusive Leatherman Signal in Ranger Green with a topo blade -- I kinda figured that you wouldn''t be able to resist that one!
as always an interesting video
What do you use on your visor to hold your sunglasses?!
I had the same issue; watch vs Fitbit. I took the straps off of the Fitbit and dropped it in my 5th pocket. Still picks up heart rate, steps, etc. Save yourself a few hundred.
Interesting video. I’ve been an REI member for decades but haven’t done much shopping with them since I moved from Alaska. I probably shouldn’t mention their stance on the second amendment. I’m going to pair the Leatherman Ratchet with the Bigidesign Bit Bar as soon as it arrives in the mail. I hope it works out. Not a big fan of serrations on my blades either.
Looking at watches I’ve done Fitbit garmin and Apple and as a runner and a cyclist I’ve killed them all in under 18 months. Presently using a cheaper £100 watch maybe 130 dollars and it’s a Amazfit trex and it’s unreal. 15-20 day battery life using each day for cycling 30 mile round trip to work and 4 runs a week between 5 & 8 miles. For me it’s bullet proof and way better than the more expensive well known brands and it’s a great fitness tracker Love the content Taylor keep it coming regards from Liverpool U.K.
If you like wearing traditional watches, you could try a whoop strap. The only problem with whoop, is it has a subscription tracking service whereas garmin is free from their app.
I’m getting that whistle !!!
Hmm i got the same discount because the houston rei didnt have the box for my crooked river, do they even have boxes for these then?
dropping the like to help pay for the REI hual lol. I got you bud!
What’s that thing from your visor where you got your glasses off from?
The Ron Swanson clip got me.
There a lot of aftermarkt scales for knives also SAKs in titanium. Are there any aftermarkt scales (maybe the wrong wording) for full size multitools in titanium for example Swisstool spirit or Rebar...?
What that sling pack you had on at REI?
What satchel is that are you wearing in this vid?
Yay for science!🧪
One suggestion for your fitness tracker that I see a lot is to take and old style Fitbit, take it out of its wrist band and just stick it in your pocket. E.g. your 5th pocket
What are your thoughts on a axe multi-tools????
Check out Whoop. It’s a band you can wear on your other arm with no display so it won’t look like 2 watches. Most accurate tracker as well. Good luck with your fitness journey!
What is the brand of the pouch you have on the sun visor please??
If ur looking for a fitness tracker and a nice watch maybe take a look at some hybrid smart watches.
Hey Taylor can you do a revisit on this one.
Fellow watch guy here, I wanted a fitness tracker as well but didn't want to go the smart watch route. Ended up going with the Oura ring and have really liked it and the accompanying app. Whoop is another option but would require wearing it on the other wrist.
I have an Oura on the way. 😬
A whistle is a highly under rated tool for defense or if you get lost.
what watch are you wearing in the video? (not the Garmin you bought)
What pouch were you carrying when you walked out of the store ?
