If you are off-duty... or better... active-duty with enhanced situational awareness... I may invite you into my home... BUT... as a civilian... You are more like a lone-wolf to me... you may be the most kind-hearted sheepdog... but no-one really knows anyone's intentions brother... so YOUR intentions as a civilian are irrelevant... no badge no trust... so I would NEVER let you carry into my home... I have better situational awareness in my space... and if you whipped out a firearm in my home... no matter how good your judgment... you'd be in big trouble. ONLY AUTHORIZED POLICE AND MILITIA SHOULD BE ALLOWED CARRY! If you don't trust the authorities in our democracy then why don't you earn your badge to legitimately protect the sheep who do... or maybe you like being a lone wolf?
Pistols are overrated I fear a knife just as much as a pistol I fear a rifle with a scope more than a pistol LOL😅
So much wrong with this statement, wow
This is probably the dumbest comment I’ve read in the last several days.
“Authorized police and militia”
Give me a break. You sound like Dakota Meyer.
Guarantee you, there are “civilians” out in the U.S. today that would dominate you in every aspect of shooting, moving, and communicating. Don’t confuse the lard ass you see at Home Depot with a real prepared citizen who takes their rights and responsibilities seriously.
What rock did you crawl from with your thinking of who should be allowed to carry? One of the most off the wall comment I’ve read in a while.
Looks like TH-cam deleting my previous reply to this dork. But anyway….you’re a dork.
The great thing about edc is that they're all different. It's whatever we each feel comfortable carrying around in our pockets. I like to watch edc pocket dumps just to see what everybody has, and at times I see something that I adopt that I hadn't thought of before.
I believe this EDC is adequate ,however where's your fire starter? Other than that , you are good to go. Stay Stoked.
Great video, no BS, no ads or any of that crap. Just pure info from a great guy. God bless you Bill. 🥃
🫡🥃
380 extra mag., benchmade folder, flashlight, bandaids, bandanna, leatherman & a carabiner with keys. 70+ years
old. Your doing fine !🖖🏻✌🏻🙏🏻
We do almost same 🎉 add a tourniquet for good measure. 62 and broken down 🤬🤣, Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🍻
My uncle was in WW2 and the Vietnam war. When I was 8-9yrs old he gave me his P-38 l still have it. When l have to go to a place where I can't carry my 45acp. I carry my 380. I've only been caught once with a metal detector carrying the 380 in a no gun zone out of 20+yrs. And the officer told me to put it back in my vehicle. I love the new version of the video.
Love my LCP II MAX.
Again for exactly the reasons you gave.
I really liked the good honest EDC video. EDC many time is dictated by where and how far from home you are going. The thing I do to stay consistent in my EDC is to carry the same items in my pants every day. Change pants, switch over the items. Left pocket, TAC pen, lighter, cell phone and flashlight, right pocket folding knife. Cargo pocket, small Maxpedition pouch with many different items. Front of pants, appendix carried Glock 19X and mag. This system means I always know what I have with me. The 19X, not always comfortable, but I like knowing I have a higher capacity weapon should I need in 9mm. I'm almost 70 yrs old now. Have been carrying a weapon since the age of 24 every day, so I used to it. I'm in decent shape, so concealing the glock is not a problem. Depending on where I'm going, sometimes a tourniquet on my belt. Always have get home and med kit (plus a whole bunch of other crap) in the vehicle. Thanks for provoking thought.
Honestly though I carry a flashlight, small clip goes on my pocket left pocket. My sidearm with a spare magazine, a folding pocket knife with a clip in my right pocket. My single hand open Gerber multi-tool a right in the rain notepad a watch. A few years ago I made it a habit to carry a flashlight with me. It's amazing how much I use a flashlight now that I always have one. Something for you guys to think about. I use the o light brand. Very bright and has been durable for the few years. I have carried it.
I carry a 380 for the same reasons and a couple more. It's even a Bersa, hated both for caliber and manufacturer. But it's what works for me...
Thanks for keeping it real.
I also carry a P-38. Have since my dad gave me one when I was a kid.
I put my keys on a steel snap link and on my belt; it frees up a pocket.
My e.d.c back when I was young. Was a quarter a buck 110 and a banda. These days people carry the kitchen sink.
True but many of the items people carry today did not exist back then.
@@donwest600 Bs. Bandaid's and bloodclot. Turhiquits antiseptic and pliers did so exist. So did most of it.
@@vaderwasframed3668I had an Old Timer and a P-38 that got up graded to a Swiss Army knife. Always that quarter though. 😂
@@vaderwasframed3668 pliers yes, multi tools no, first aid yes, but not the availability there is today. Fire is a whole new industry today compared to back when. Etc so on.
Your old like me ...😂😂 the buck one ten was everyone's edc carry in high school rural upstate NY back in the 70s. When you would see filled shotgun racks in pickup trucks and not give it a second thought. Ahhhh the good ol days. What happened to America 😢
I got these little tins off Amazon here a while back. They are slightly larger than a mini Altoids tin. I keep some Duct tape, some light bank line, two bandaids with Neosporin on them, a tiny tube of super glue, wood matches w/ a striker, some heavy thread and a seeing needle. I keep it wrapped up with two hair rubber bands because girlfriend. It is tiny, fits well in my fifth pocket of my jeans and is useful often. You might try something like that. Don't let people give you shit over your tiny girly man gun. We still love ya.
I've learnt a lot about EDC, the need for EDC, and just generally being prepared from Stokermatic... always happy to see these and learn something a little new or affirm something already done. Kudos, mate.
Anyway if you're in here... then for comparison's sakes, my pocket EDC:
- P3 Ledlenser
- Gerber Armbar Drive
- wallet
- keys on carabiner with mini keychain light
- phone, of course!
- lip balm
- and a scarf instead of a cap ;D
probably the most common EDC for 95 % of people. I always have a lighter but I smoke. 99 % of the time I have my multi tool also. Good video.
"The question you have to ask yourself every time you leave the house, am I about to fight WW3 or am I going for milk?" The Punisher.
"Prepare for the fight you don't want to have, as opposed to the one you do"
What if you’re going out for milk during civil unrest?
P-38! Pocket Knife! Mini-Flashlight on Key Ring. Flask. Coins, Wallet. Phone.
And a few random things.
Water bottle, because I live in the Desert.
👊
Flask contains 190 proof pure grain alcohol Everclear, fuel for a tin can stove and fire starting. As I do not drink alcohol, however I would never begrudge a man a decent drink in the field, so the pack flask contains the best malt scotch whiskey.
I have a separate P-38 and it was explained to me that to wear one down like that one would require years of almost daily use. It's not mine and I won't go into the details but it serves as a reminder of my dislike (censored) of the VA. I will say+"&""!!!!! Obama!
9th Infantry, and I think you may know where that is.
Always enjoy your videos, especially Navigation techniques.
Long Live the Republic!
Straight up, always pen and paper (a military habit), copy on the .380 with extra mags (or 45), pocket knife (gerber FAST, secondary a victorinox with scissors, FN clippers, etc), zipped RFID blocking wallet containing a small compass, watch sized crystal magnifying glass (to read tiny print, start a fire), challenge coin, obvious CC/bank cards, ministry credentials/licenses. Dog tags around the neck w/P38, titanium tag sharpened on one side for cutting, and 8 way cross pendant. Car/house keys w/mini white/uv flashlight, nite eyes pry tool, 2 mini pico pull containers one with extra flashlight battery the other has water purifying tabs.
Great job brother
My EDC varies greatly based on what I am going to do or just grab in go.
I would like for someone I trust to ask me to show a pocket dump. I think most EDC fans would be surprised. I frequently carry the LCP Max or a DB-9. Sometimes I have my Shield Arms modified 43x. Everything in my pockets have some multi functional tool/survival features. My belt and boot laces also. I'm constantly trying to work out ways to improve the kit I always have. I recently added a medium sized compressed cotton towel for being able to dry and clean myself, cutting into toilet paper, bandages, water silt filtration and fire starting and whatever else you can think of just for example.
I liked the vid. I always carry a left side belt pouch with stuff I might need and then another on the right with things. It isn't what others carry either, which is why I liked this vid. Thanks. Take Care and Stay Safe.
Appreciate you “Wild Bill”
Some EDC videos you’d have to have a SPEAR pack!
I like it Stoker- simple, practical, USEFUL items. I have a Kubiton on my keychain and I usually have a small microlight type flashlight on me.
Love your vids brother! I pretty much have EXACTLY the same! However, I do keep a small lock pic set on me. Thank you for your no nonsense no BS vids!
I admire and back you 100%!! I carry similarly on the daily, do I typically have additional tools in my truck, or nearby, yes, but I do NOT lug around a backpack 24/7... Thank you for being a stand up guy
That's pretty much what I walk out of the house with every day, and I'm always with a ball cap on, which I've added some little thing or two on the inside band of every one.
Can’t carry where I work ( trade zone BS ) but if I’m not at work odds are pretty high that there’s a Shield in my back pocket
My EDC consists of the following items:
Leatherman Surge
Leatherman Free T4
Bic lighter
3x USBs (for work only)
Pen
Watch
Phone
Car keys
Earbuds (some days)
Wallet (some days, otherwise in bag)
LCP max is my favorite. Even the other LCP’z are good too. Even the first gen with the heavy trigger
I appreciate the honest take. EDC can be different from day to day, depending on 'factors'. [Always be able to tie something up, cut/stab something and burn something down.] (lessons from living life in the '80s)
Lumber pencils, like you have don't roll away. And the wood is dry tinder. They used to make a front pocket pouch for things like your .380 that would disguise the fact that you were carrying.
What's in my pockets? I'm wearing jeans, t shirt and a hoodie. Dumping pockets theres; keys, dogtag and small ferro rod on a keyring. Wallet with ID and 2 p38s. Maglite silhouette, Victorinox knife, boxcutter, lighter, sun clock / compass (Swedish) , cheepie lids pencil sharpener, pen. You didn't count your phone and camera gear, so I'm not counting the tools and such that are in my pockets from working in the shop :-D They wouldn't always be there.
I really think that we should count our phones, though. Even if they're dead there's lot of stuff to salvage from them. For instance, without even opening the back, you can most likely conjure a fish hook from what you see and glass is harder than steel, so broken glass should sharpen knives if not be your knife.
BTW the pencil sharpener also sharpens sticks, great tinder. And it's a sharp edge that will likely get through a search.
Oh I forgot! Great Video!!!
I'm in Canada, near your state (I think). They make me protect myself from wild animals that smell like rotting meat with swords near conservations areas. I just watched the Federal government and the US government team up to bust the handgun store that would sell to me in the news. They won't sell me OD green polyester concealed carry hoodies at the military store and Im not even carrying, just wanted the polyester hoodie. I can no longer go for hikes in most areas with wild animals anymore. It's amazing to see you having a concealed carry right. I have the ability to get into contested areas but the government guards them with animals.
DeWalt and a carpenter pencil was a surprise to see, but I like it, looking like a Lowe's shopper instead of security. Construction cargo pants are my usual pants anyways.
Yes
My EDC, is a cell phone, swiss champ w/a fire starter, tinder, needle and thread, Leatherman wave, light weight Buck 110, bandana, lighter. Keys/sspares, AA maglight.
I missed a couple items and details, on my keys is a resqme glass breaker belt cutter, maglight has a Bust a Cap glass breaker, pepper spray
Totally agree. Thanks for keeping it real, also with the 50 meter battle rifle vid. What kind of .45 do you carry? 1911? Glock?
Love it, the can opener especially. Light and fire, the only other two things I carry that you didn't produce, but I am lacking on the note book I'm 50% with a pen... Great video and the concept is spot on. I have a Sig P320 that my son gave me that has all his USS Santa Fe stuff on it, it's great but I run an LC-9 for the same reason you do, compliance to have something is better than not having and because it's from the boy it's sentimental and I would hate to have it rotting mistreated till I get it back if I have to use it.
While I'm sitting here watching a video this is in my pockets G26 gen5 Burt's bees beeswax lip balm Tar Bars LOL🤠.
Chapstick and a Bic lighter are part of my EDC now because of you💪 I got kids so a handkerchief and chapstick are a must all the time😂
🥃
Among other EDC gear, I carry my P38 from Vietnam. 65-66, Danang
28 years SF, 53 year old now. Mellowed, body hurts but still have it. When I leave the house I carry a Glock 380 for the sole purpose that I never have to be concerned about it printing and I know my capabilities. If it isn’t 2nd nature then train more.
I carry just about exactly the same things even the LCP.
Only difference is no pad and I carry a multitool or multiknife.
Multitool, small flashlight, folding knife, boo-boo kit, wallet and keys - ALWAYS in my loaded pants 24/7.
Excellent video!
My sentiments EXACTLY!
I find it funny that when a lot of certain themed videos have been showing up on my TH-cam feed and if I start watching them I get annoyed and try to filter through the BS and find a genuine one you come in and make that genuine video
Heck ya man great stuff.
We probably don't need all the stuff I have lol
It's all good.
Good stuff, every day carry. Wallet, keys, reading glasses, phone non connected for camera, navigation, ballistics, etc., watch, para bracelet with bank line and fishing line and hook, cotton Bandana, spring assist 3 1/2" knife right side, ESEE pr4 in thin kydex sheath iwb left side, g23 appendix, spare mag, RATS tourniquet, tape and absorbent towel in a sealed plasticbag, small Sabre pepper spray, streamlight stylus flashlight wrapped with 1" Gorilla tape, bic lighter wrapped with rubber band. No bs, and you would not know it standing next to me, for me, it is comfortable. Now, if I have my jacket or vest, it is another level. I spend a lot of time outdoors, so this is what I consider necessary. However, you will never find me with it even in the middle of a big city. Big cities equals bigger guns. Edc videos are always fun, thanks for sharing.
thank you for your edc. I just put out a video about my edc today also. I do carry all in my video everyday. but I am excessive about it lol. thank you again. god bless.
A new tourniquet that I carry no bs everyday is the snakestaff systems tourniquet, if you don’t know what it is think of a CAT tourniquet but smaller and better, thank combined with their little stretchy carry and I stick it in my little spare pocket on the back of my jeans and I forget it’s there.
Finally, a real EDC video! Thank you
Transparency helps the rest of us realize we don’t have to be pros when we start this journey
Yes!
I like it! 😁 I add a Bic lighter and my multi-tool to your mix. Maybe I need to carry a notebook? I usually use a Notes app on my phone. Great video, Top! 🥃
Lighter was in my truck 🤣 it’s normally in my pocket.
I have at work edc and day off edc. .380acp during the weekdays at work. .357sig or 9mm after work or weekends. Im one of those people that gets called a liar about edc. I carry a lot of shit. Its not cumbersome if you go lightweight with kit, and spread it across your body. You can easily cover the 5 c's and then some. Knowledge trumps kit every time but, kit can make life so much easier. ( i can make natural cordage given enough time or, i can reach in a pocket and pull out a hank of 50' #18 bank line. Thats one of the things i always carry.)
I have had an issue with that myself. and i dont count bags that are in my truck, or in some other location. E.D.C to me is what I keep on my person everyday.
I would suggest a handkerchief, small folding knife, and nail clippers. Particularly the nail clippers.
Thanks for another relevant video.
Number 1 most important thing to carry around , well developed mental capacity, the most powerful weapon, you have ,then you’re body will be turned and the material items you may carry will be the proper EDC…..
-Scouts Out
Good video brother I did a edcan like you it's what have an carry
EDC video are still really interesting after 12 years i don't know why
Love it! This is actually 0:38 the first time ever that I'm leaving a comment on anyone's channel. I appreciate the honesty! I usually say honesty never got me anywhere, but I'd rather keep it real than be a lying POS. Thank you! I also carry a LCP Max more often than larger cumbersome tools...Hopefully that gets me away from a threat, and to more power in my vehicle.
Don't forget to LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE. Stoker is absolute straightforward, clear examples and no rambling.
He Practices what he preaches in an open honest way.
Something we all need to aspire to.
Hey Bill. Great videos. How can I get one of your Stoked hats? Would love to have one!
I just got your navigation book yesterday
🥃
But Stoker the FBI says 12-18in's of penetration and the 380 is underpowereddddd! lmao new 380 rounds are getting impressive I carry a souped up P365XL. I have considered swapping to something in 380.
I like it man.
great video, again. Good carry package, LOVE having a pencil and pad, Thank you dollar tree. Suggestion to you and all, I just cannot bring myself to carry one of my medium/large SOG or GERBER or Leatherman, so I have gravitated thru trial and error of the micro tools to the Leatherman Micra. Always sits in the left front pocket on a laynard. Daily uses; FINGERNAILS that have chipped etc from work, scissor for material, paper and Fingernails again, small screw drivers for glasses grips screws etc etc, I actually bought a cheapo Ozark trail(?) less than 3 inch serrated folder that is very lightweight for cutting the cordage , cardboard , open amazon etc to relieve wear and tear on my CRKT OLD Crawford Falcon; 18 plus years now. Ebay for used micra ! already picked up two like new at 14 bucks each!
Right on!
Thank You For Sharing ! I Always Enjoy Watching Your Videos. May GOD Bless America !!
Your way ahead of the sheeple, thats all that matters keep on keeping on
Thank you for sharing. Great video. I still have my P-38.
Thanks, Bill! I ALWAYS have an Esse Candiru on my belt, an Esse PR4 in the hike pack and… an ESSE 4 in my daily carry bag into the office. #essefanboy lol A Sig P229 is always present though it’s a bitch to carry sometimes
Impressive sir, love the gun with the beautiful hollow point rounds ...
Here in the uk ,carrying any item for the purpose of self defense .
IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE .
Let that sink in
😢
I rarely carry more than a blade, my pistol, and my wallet on me. My phone is for scrolling on the toilet. The pistol I carry most often is a small Shield 2.0. I'm a blade smith, so my blade of choice is always changing. I have more knives than sense.
Being in the uk a gun is a no go i carry a sak, a flash light, and paracord phone and pen
Super ! Everyday stuff ! ...Alan 🇨🇱
Looking sharp
Nice edc Sir. Thank you.
Say what people will, the 380 hp will put your eye out, no printing either.
Top, I always took you for a 1911 guy.
Indeed!!
Kept it real.
🥃
Your EDC setup is almost identical to mine.
Nothing wrong with carrying a small pocket gun, like a 380. I still have an old Keltec P32. We call them “get off me guns”…it’s not a “stand your ground” gun. Be ready to run to safer ground after using it, which isn’t a bad idea anyway.
I watch these to get ideas. This is a common sense.
I like your video stay safe I have a 9mm that will fit in my back pocket everything you have I carry but my gun I don't have a carry permit yet
👍
Stay stoked👍☕️☕️✌️
Absolutely brother 👌🏽
This guy. Thinking we need honesty and integrity. What world does he live in. 🤦♂️
Fun video Top. ✌️🇺🇸
Do you carry that .380 in a holster in your back pocket?
Geez, sometimes I go for a neighborhood walk and carry nothing😮 😵
Don’t have a neighborhood - so sometimes when it’s warm out I step out with nothing. 😂
Awesome video!!
Good stuff man!
If I were you I go to pawn shops Taurus PT 740 40 cal that's the one I carry am I going to Walmart 64 you can trade your 380 in probably straight up or just pay a little bit more they're cheap yes they're heavier but I want that Firepower I used to have a 380 and I traded it in
I am stoked, you prefer an ESEE
Many deployments with them.
NAIL....HEAD 🎉 Thanks for sharing 🍺
I always have a flashlight.
Bravo I Agree
I carry every where everyday. My gun, even in the shower, or on the can is always within reach. It’s going to be hard to get at me without a fight.
Think i have gone into withdrawal...never even heard the word "tactical" 😁
That sounds about right to me.😈
Nice video. It's not the size of the gun.....its how you use it.
Stoker getting shady with tha .380 old school diploma
