I was at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff this year and couldn't help but notice the amount of pocket clips, danglers and fixed blades attached to many of the people I passed throughout the show. You couldn't have picked a more perfect crowd for a pocket check video. These are the knives, tools and pockets jewelry of the people of Overland Expo. If you ever wondered what the Toyota and Jeep crowd carry on a day to day basis; this is the video for you. What are you carrying today?

So good catching up dude!
Same! I need to get up to Colorado some time👊
Man Mike from LLOD is so yesterday. Oh hi Mike. Kidding. Good add with the Yota family.
LLOD, I thought that was you! I love your channel!
Glad you are true to your word carrying that skeletool man.
Thank You Mike for rescuing that Timber Wolf, always such a Good Samaritan!!
This is so much more interesting than those “Best EDC under $1000” videos on the official EDC channels. I’m a big fan, keep up the good work.
Glad you dug it!
True, they are real. People that don’t carry random 400$ trash pocket coins, 800$ custom knives that will never get used or other fluff just for the sake of aesthetics.
Flashlight, cutting tool, multi tool for everyday need, pen, paper. Done.
Really cool.
But have you checked out any of the best edc under $10,000?!?
*COUGH* bestdamnedc *COUGH*
@@Notorious2024 no one hate them. I found clownish when people post EDC with 1000€ knives that are brand new. There is a huge difference, or you too dumdum to read?
I love how all of us knife enthusiasts get excited to see the new and shiny, then Juan busts out the Husky to remind us it doesn't matter :) #teamjuan
Exactly!
I bought all my employees husky knives.
I have one of those Huskys, my wife found it in the WalQueada parking lot. A tough ass knife. #teamjuan!
dad knives are great
Personally, I've found a steak knife from Outback Steak House makes the best edc. Never stays sharp, never needs maintenance. It's perfect for boxes & zip ties.
Love this man! Keep crushing it 👊🏻
So good catching up man! That Kimbo is so sweet🤘
Yo, what light did you say that was? I’m trying to find it
do you still have your van?
When’s the new fixed blade drop?

Watched BHQ for years and the voices of Zac, Ben, Kurt, and Jamie (occasionally) shaped 99% of my knife knowledge and drained my bank account over the years. I've missed the OG BHQ and now it's just not the same. I love the independent content you're putting out these days, it's the perfect mix of personality and nostalgia.
Little late but I'm carrying a Spyderco Spydiechef, last thing I cut was my finger while sharpening it.
Zac: “What’s the last thing you cut with your pocket knife?”
Expo Attendee: “The warm jugular of my enemy.”
Zac: 🏃♂️💨
There’s something about him that seems so genuine and nice it’s impossible to not follow his adventures.
You *know* the guy at 6:41 with the myerchin is thinking about sea ropes, as he literally has a marlinspike in his EDC with him, which might have been the most interesting bit of EDC we see!
Everyone: here is my $200+ knife
One guy who does actual work: here is my home depot 25$ special
The EDC game in a nutshell
Exactly!🤣
That’s typical what I see from most people as well lol. HOWEVER! I myself have a $200 pocket knife. It’s the Benchmade Osborn 940. But because it’s a Benchmade 940, I actually use it for hard work because unlike other expensive knives that you are only paying for the look of the name, with the Benchmade, you are paying for the quality, reliability, and indestructibility. Very hard steel so it takes a lot to dull it, and (even though I shouldn’t) in a pinch, it can be used to pry some (don’t worry I still try not to) but I have heard from others with the same knife of the abuse they put it through where any other knife, cheap or expensive would immediately fail. The Benchmade is the one and only expensive knife that I carry and use as the utility knife that it is. One of my favorite TH-camrs is called Wranglerstar, and he has an EXCELLENT review on it. He’s actually the reason I heard if it and bought one. Have not regretted it yet going on 2 years. Best knife I ever owned and i own a lot
Man and I thought my Buck 110 was expensive
I think most people have cheaper knives!
@@fourtyfivefudd i dont doubt that benchmade makes tough knifes that can handle hard work but they really werent built with ergos in mind, i hold a 935 in my hand and i think "box cutter/letter opener, maybe some food prep" but the para 3 FEELS like a work knife, you can tell it was made to be beaten when you hold it. although id probably say save your money and get a tenacious because its alot of money for just a different steel and lock.
Love this video. So awesome to see Jamie still rockin’ the bugout!
All day every day🤘
This is my new favorite TH-cam video I love seeing what edc people are carrying 👍
Thanks for checking it out. Glad you dig it!🤘
Thanks for the steady stream of great content. Nice to see you shine , Zac!
I love when you do these pocket dumps! It is so interesting to see all the gear people carry.
Also, really glad to see you and Jamie working together again. You make a great team!
It also amuses me that we use our knives for boxes and food... Just awesome!
Awesome video Zac! A video I think would be awesom is an edc for on duty first responders in rural areas. I'm a Park Ranger and I feel like the people in my field curator their gear very specific to the needs and not necessarily to the newest, coolest and best. For example I carry a Gerber Hinder CLS because all of the features it has for an emergency responses, a Leatherman because I'm always in need of pliers and a screw driver, and the Ka-bar tdi for any self defense situation. I also keep a Leatherman raptor sheers with my medical bag, but the Rangers in our ohv parks typically keep them on their duty belt because the volume of injuries. I think seeing the contrast to the gear edc and knives enthusiasts carry verse the tactical curation of le and first responds would be very cool. But on the flip side you might get the old school guy who carries a 20 knife them walmart because "it does the job".
So genuine, thanks Zac
My wife thinks I’m weird when I spot a pocket clip and then I point it out to her “look honey that person is carrying a knife also!”
Awesome seeing real life EDC! Great to see Zac back making videos!
Got to keep it real🤘😁
It would take a half hour to write out all my pocket tools, but I am super digging these "average joe" pocket dumps. Super refreshing to see the layman's actual tools instead of the same regurgitation from knife reviewers/edc junkies. Neat to learn about the urchin, I've never seen that before
The Urchin was such a cool surprise for me too!
*myerchin
That was my first “nice” knife at $65!
@@dylandwyer6305 I did some digging after the video and found it, good price too!
Awesome Zac…..thanks!
Super fun video! Thank you.
Hi man. Love your content. Lately things have been tuff down where i'm from, I've been carrying a small push dagger for a couple month, the Schade SCHF50. At first it felt wierd in My pocket and was ashaimed to pull it out because luckylly I've only had to use it to upen boxes at work 😂
cheers!
Now that was a good video. Getting to see some real edc's of regualer people! Love all the way from South Africa
Thanks for tuning in👊
Hell yeah dude!!! Love your vids! Glad to hear jimmy is still kicking it with you.
Absolutely love that you made this video!!
Love seeing other people carry cool shit! I always feel like people judge me for it hahah. But I always rock a full size knife, small flashlight, a victorinox multi tool, and a small ti prybar. Love your channel man!
Love it when you drop new content bro! I agree this is way better then most of the normal EDC content. Thanks Zac! 🤙🏻
Thanks dude!
Love this! We need more of these videos
Such a fun video to watch! Great Work!
Great video Zac, lots of fun seeing you do pocket checks just like the old pocket checks you did at blade HQ. My main work knife is my S30v shaman and my secondary knife is either my S45vn para 3 or my hogue Doug Ritter. Last thing I probably cut was some plastic packaging for repair parts for my job repairing butcher equipment. Keep up the great work Zac and Jamie
Sounds like a cool job!
Thank Zac, I’ve been doing it for almost 19 years and I get to travel all over arizona repairing the butchers equipment for some of larger grocery chains and some smaller meat shops and cattle processors or game processors.
Looks like y'all had a fun day out there. I enjoyed watching all the pocket checks! Keep em coming! Loving the channel!
It was a blast!
love this kind of edc episode! cheers!
Love pocket check 😍love pocket check 😍 good job
Oh wow so glade to see you! Awesome!

Awesome video. First time here. Thank you

What a fun video, thanks!
Love this video, Zac. Hope you keep it up. Can't wait to see what else you come out with.
Thanks! Lots more on the way.
Zac and Talon is everything, love it!
As for my carry...here we go.
BID TPT Slide
SOG Terimus XR
BID Ti EDC Click,
BID Ti Mini Pry Bar and BID Ti Pocket Clip on the keys for a Cruze
Flowfold Sailcloth Vanguard Bifold in green
Some chapstick.
Last used my TPT Slide to cut a box of plastic bags open at work (I have a second job as a supermarket cashier)
Great carry BID does a ton of awesome stuff!
Love these pocket check videos!
A lot higher end knives this time than in video from Sturgis!
Keep up the great work, Zac! 👍
Great to see what people carry.
Wow, this was awesome.
This video was so much fun to watch -- love a good ol' pocket dump! I'm keeping it light in the pocket right now: Quiet Carry Drift for the blade along with an olight i3t flashlight. In the pouch I've got a Leatherman squirt ps4, Vero fulcrum mini, fisher space pen, and the baby Banter. Last used to cut open a package :-)
Well done Zac! Your vídeos are getting better and better! Can't wait for the next.
Thanks so much!
I long for the day someone pocket checks me.
What a great idea! Love seeing what others carry.
Great job 👍
Great video very fun
Great to see more of your stuff latetly 👍
Glad you’re digging it!
Great video and was nice to see an old leatherman. They are popular in various professional circles for a reason.
Cool video! I just got into overlanding. Cool to see what other guys into the hobby carry. I honestly expected more inexpensive knives, but majority was Benchmade. The reality of the last thing you cut was spot on. Boxes, food packaging,etc.
Love these pocket check vidZ
Gerber Fastball & Fenix E12... Thx for the great content !!
Simple and useful love it!
Awesome 👍
Never seen your videos before first time
I really enjoyed it thank you very much. I shared your video already
Great video man!
Great to see Zac again! Love your stuff. My edc is a ton but I never feel like it: Murray Carter Perfect neck knife, Victorinox Scientist and a Rambler, olight i5t, Leatherman PS4 on keychain and sometimes a folder like my ‘99 Commander or Doug Ritter Benchmade. Peace
Zac - good to see a video by you. A lot of fun. I found myself smiling because I enjoyed this video so much.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for tuning in!
love the concept! great video
👊👊
Great video…love some pocket checks and the stories! I rock the Spyderco Pacific Salt 2 H1 in black. Gotta get them packages open!
Got to!😁
awesome content. This was fun to watch
the last thing I cut was an amazon package (of course) with a little boker+ tech tool that's sorta like a swiss army knife but has copper scales and its actually a super nice little knife!
He is carrying around a $350 knife and he’s saying “iT’s JUsT a MIcRoTEcH”. Wtf.
Very fun video. I loved it! 🤘🇨🇦
Thanks🤘
Totally agree w the other comments - way better than a typical edc vid -- awesome vid man
Thanks man!👊
Really enjoyed this video. Seemed like good fun for you and the participants of the Pocket Check.
As well love seeing people carry fixed blades. I go for a fixed blade whenever feasible. I typically pair a folder if I carry one 3” or bigger.
Edit: I’m left handed and the move to fixed blade had two reasons. Full Ambi knife and no gummed up moving parts. Deployed into action. No questions asked. I pull it the pointy sharp part is ready for tasks.
I’m also big on fixed blades man. Seems like everyone’s carrying one to be “tactical” I’m no knife fighter nor do I want to be if I’ve got to defend my life there’s another hmmm tool for that that I am very proficient with and have been over the years. Fixed blades just take a beating and whether I’m hacking shit for a duck blind on the fly early morning dropping that fucker in the water and mud, cleaning a deer, opening boxes, prying shit open, shotgunning beers, or what have you a fixed blade only fails when the bastard snaps in two. No springs to worry about, a simple dip in water and a wipe and it’s clean and not rusting up on you, no locks to fail, when you gotta cut something that may be deoendant on time it’s get a secure grip pull and cut. Why’s that important. Heard a trot line horror story. Guy got a trot line hook stuck in his hand pulled him out of the boat. Imagine being there and trying to finesse a pocket knife out with your thumb and index and dropping it to the bottom while your boat floats away with a giant hook in your hand attached to 300 lb test bank line. If it’s a folder I’m prolly carrying an opinel or griptillian tho. I just like the damn things. And I have beat the ever loving shit out if my griptilian at this point I’m jjst waiting to break it and it won’t break😂 But any outdoor activity I will 100% have a fixed blade. And any situation that I can have one I’ll have it.
Sweet walk around! I enjoyed the vid, always have my Compact in pocket. Was a tough choice between that and the Woodsman, but I love the compact. I crisped up the edge on the bottle opener to strike a ferro rod and tied a fire cord fob on it so I can lite fires.
Nice mod!
Great stuff Zac. Channel is getting on the must watch list.
Thanks dude👊
Dope idea and dope video, dude. I love the energy.
Thanks man!
This is epic! I love this. Wish I could get pocket checked
Good to see you again. Subscribed.
Thanks man!
I carry a spyderco tenacious, o light I t3 plus,generic tactical pen, I phone 13,& Swiss wallet with rfdi. Thanks for the video it was cool. Have a blessed day.
Man these guys are obsessed with those banters. Every video
Fun video! My last cut was trimming a rose stem for my wife with a SAK pioneer x. Obviously , it was all boxes before that.
This was great dude.
Thanks man!
Great Video Zac! Couldn't get a word in edge wise at BladeShow West, you are just to popular! Carrying a new Benchmade Redoubt.
Really enjoyed this video A LOT! Great idea to pocket check people at the event. My knife today was the bladehq spyderco para 3 lightweight in M4 and I cut open bags of black mulch and garden soil for my tomato plants and sunflowers.
Love it! Good luck on the garden🤘
So awesome!! I’m a dad I can relate to carrying a lot of stuff.
Carried my delica 4 and cut probably 50 mature giant size weeds out of some landscaping beds at Home Depot 🤘🏼
Nice!
Love your videos Zac! Keep up the good work. Today I'm carrying my old James brand Folsom with green micrarta. Didn't know much about steels back then but loved the micarta. Still do... Right now I'm anxiously awaiting Ben's new knafs project the I backed on Kickstarter.
James Brand does have some nice micarta.
I love these videos
This video was awesome!
Thanks!
Awesome brother!
👊👊
Zac, you make hands down the best EDC content on TH-cam because it's humble, real, and you're just so damned likeable! Great to see some familiar faces all in one video! Keep it interesting, keep it up! I'm carrying a Magnacut Hogue Deka, Trayvax Summit (Talon Sei would be proud) airpods, keys, and a 2020 cadet. I've stopped edc-ing lights but I've always got my Baton 3 in my bag and my warrior mini 2 in my car. I was camping over the weekend and had my CF-elite bugout, and my i5T, in the pockets and my trusty cold steel SRK on the belt. Last cut was a bag of ice for my morning coffee lol
Thank you so much for the kind words👊
Sick vid Zac as always! Good to see you out and about again!
Carrying the WE Banter and used it to cut open the packaging for the Civivi Baby Banter WIUG edition.
Nice😎
Love the Benchmade Crooked River. I carry the Mini all the time.
For my carry: Spyderco Manix 2 LW, The D'Avella Minimalist Leather Wallet by Speakeasy Leather, Leatherman Squirt PS4, O'Light SR1 flashlight, Refyne Copper Pen, GShock 6900 watch, Glock 26, and a Gerber Shard pry tool. Last thing I cut was a box of cat litter LOL!! Great video Zac!!
Great vid Zac!
Thanks!
Another great video man
Thanks!
Love the Pocket Dump series! More please! ... I carry a custom Vicorinox Compact with CF Scales and corkscrew delete, as well as a Streamlight single AAA light and a Knafs Lander👍
Modded out Benchmade bugout with copper Fltanium scales, and blue TI screws and clip, Acebeam TK 16 flashlight, Zebra 701 pen with a fisher spacepen refill. Last thing cut was a piece of Paracord for a lanyard for the bugout.
I look forward to your videos, this one did not disappoint! Carrying my TRM Shadow I got this past weekend at Blade. Last thing I cut was the ripe Banana Peppers off of my plant.
I love these videos man they are great. I Carry the spyderco resilience the last thing I cut was a plug on a patch plug repair on tire I work with tires. It is a work horse I use it constantly and have to sharpen it about once every 6 months.
I carry a Leatherman Supertool 300, a Camillus titanium folder and a mini Maglite Pro. The last thing I cut this morning was a branch when I was dong yardwork - but it was with the saw on the leatherman.
I have a slightly modified Kershaw flourish, I sanded all the edges off the scales because it was very sharp in the hand. Feels much better now and the last thing I cut was shrink wrap on a pallet of potting soil
Looks like a fun event! I loved the variety of pocket dumps. Mine would have been, minimalist leather wallet by Saddleback Leather, iPhone, truck keys, OC spray, Streamlight Wedge, Hogue mini RSK, and dog poop baggies. Keep the content coming!
Great video! Zac.
I carry a Giantmouse Ace Biblio, the skeletool and wallet, phone, keys and some coins.
That was a fun video. If I had been there we would have needed a table to display all the stuff I carry in my belt pouch. LOL
Entertaining video!! Spyderco Manix 2 XL. Cut straps on freight (I’m a trucker).
Thank you
Great stuff! Your content always rocks. Right now I’ve got a leather front pocket wallet, Benchmade Bugout, truck key, Olight S1R Baton 2 and a small Kershaw 8810 prybar tool.
Great carry!
Very cool - you are right never know what you may run into - but now I'm hungry !
