    I use a sling bag as an emergency dad bag. Things I keep inside rotate out but typically carry wet wipes, battery bank, wired headphones, leatherman style, handkerchief and first aid kit. Things that I don't normally need, but when I'm out with my son all of a sudden these things become essential.

    Something I very recently discovered is that there are companies making pants and jeans with the front pockets on the outside of the pant leg like a cargo pocket, but just under the belt. You can fit WAY more stuff in these things comfortably than in the traditional pants pockets that are inside the leg material. And they're made of the same strong material as the pants are, so no more holes forming in the thin pocket material.
    Some of them also have dual pockets on each pocket with zips, snaps or straps to keep them closed up. Super rad.

    As a bicycle rider, because I cannot drive, I carry lots of tools on my bike. But on me personally, it is as such. Swiss Army Deluxe Tinker. Two blades, can opening, cap lifter, each with a flat head screwdriver. Scissors, mini pliers, Philips head screw driver, Awl with eye for sewing, and a hook. Next a Old school Gerber Multi pliers, full sized pliers and wire cutter, with assorted tools, and a file. I can open it with one hand. If I need a heavier blade, it will be my Buck 110. Yeah, I'm old school :) As for a bag, the Condor Tactical three way deployment bag. A mini maglite flashlight, pen and paper, compass, With room for other odds and ends as needed. I wear it on a shoulder strap.

    SLING BAG!
    I JUST got a mini molle sling bag that I'm preparing for an interstate and international trip. I love all the pockets and zips and molle straps.
    It's going to house all my edc gear that won't go well in my pockets.
    I'm only going to be taking this, a backpack and a pocket belt on the international part of the trip. I won't be flying.
    I'm amazed at how much can fit into this tiny sling bag! It will even fit 2 - 16oz stainless drinking bottles in it. Shocked.
    So anyways... you asked... 😀
    This will be my new EDC bag once I get it all set up with what I use daily. Especially since it will hold my coffee and water daily carry bottles in it! I'm stoked!

    3. Victorionox Classic
    4. Gearhalo coated Steel stone. Once you learn how to use it you can get a nice polished edge on a blade. It's meant for skates but I had to test it out

    I bought an MKM Makro 2 and love it. The sheath turned it to me SO much versatile than I originally thought it was going to be. I assumed I was going to buy a kydex right away, but after almost a year I still haven't. I did get a Lionsteel H1 as a gift and it's been what I find myself grabbing every day, and will probably continue to doing so. The American knife makers are REALLY dropping the ball and letting the Chinese companies walk all over them. There are always people in comment sections shaming people for buying Chinese, but what are you supposed to do? Spend three -four times the price for knives still using D2, the same designs and technology and get knives where the quality is a mixed bag at best? It used to be that when you wanted quality you'd buy an American knife. Now you spend $50-60 for a Civivi or Kubey and get a better knife with a better steel than you would for $150 Benchmade.
    I'd rather buy an American knife but I don't have enough disposable income to make a statement.

    Love the videos as always. I have carried a sling. Good option. When you are the one wearing it, you think everyone is judging you like you are wearing a man purse. But these days, no one cares. In fact pay attention to random people carrying all types of slings these days. I wear a sling that is more set up like a chest pack when going to the gym. The rest of the time, I like an edc backpack. I carry too much stuff but I always end up needing it.

    What I would love to see on Leatherman are springloaded plyers. Would be topping on the cake.
    Zac, Team up with Alpaca and have you made a prototype double zip version or some outside attached money stash.
    I use HelikonTex Hip bags sidewise on the belt for wallet and EDC stuff. My main EDC pouch is a Vanquest Husky.
    Yeah that Buck Bowie does great next to your Bugout and ultralight concept. Get away from Zac. He does you no good 😂
    For sure … the silver guard on the old school Bowie did the trick on the ol‘ blood sucker 🧛
    My Five:
    1. Civivi Elementum Button Lock
    2. Tasmanian Tiger RDI wallet
    3. The OG … Leatherman PST II (and/or a Vic with plyers of course)
    4. Artisan Sea Snake
    5. wireless induction headphones for my hearing aids (great every day tool for phone calls ( especially hands free in the car) and for music in the office … no one except me will hear a thing 🎉)
    Have yourself a great and happy new year.

    Great video fellas. I just went to the Alpaka site and ordered a pouch. I currently carry a Trayvax Element wallet and have been for the last 8-10 years. It’s been an amazing wallet and I’ve been looking for an effective way to carry gear without overloading my pockets. I tend to scratch my phone on my knives since I don’t carry my phone the same pocket all the time. I’m ambidextrous and use my phone with either hand so it tends to end up in whatever pocket I last had my hand on it. I know, my ADHD and Autism battle with each other between organization and “Look Squirrel” 😂. I’m now looking at either a Banter or Lander knife and probably adding a Knipex mini Cobra. Thanks again for all the info! Cheers!

    Im glad you guys mentioned this. I recently bought the muserise chest bag for my basic phone , wallet , keys and then misc things like a light , my compact, lip balm, mini measuring tape. If people wana call things “man bags” that live on your chest then tell that to all the soldiers serving because they use chest rigs on a daily and that’s exactly what the muserise is. I love it. I hook a headlamp onto the molly on front and i have access to everything from the front. I dont like pockets filled with things clanking and jingling around. Only thing that is actually on my right pocket is my knife, to much muscle memory to put it on the front. Doesnt look to tactical depending on the color. Love it.

    Nice to see two guys discuss their fave products that are all brand new, probably sponsored, not really the best, and not what people who use these things would choose and then putting them all into a nice clean man purse to go on light adventures and continue not to use. This is a shopping channel. Get out there and prove that these tools are good by using them.

    We Knives/Civivi are good people I can confirm. They make really good stuff at reasonable prices. I enjoy their receptive nature to consumer complaints and requests in revisions or distributor exclusives. They also sent me a free titanium pocket clip for a knife that had issues catching that got bent beyond repair.

    I usually have a knife and a multi-tool, usually a SAK. If the knife is clipped to my pocket, like the ZT 0640 I'm carrying at this moment, then the big Swiss Champ is in a leather sheath on my belt. If I'm carrying a knife on my belt, such as the classic Buck 110 Folding Hunter, then the SAK is either an Explorer or a mid-70s Climber that I've had since my first job out of college. A bandanna of course, a magnifying glass, some hair ties, my AA challenge coin, my wallet, and a Thrunite Archer Mini complete the day-in/day-out items. I like that Alpaka pouch you showed and ordered one, so the hair ties, coin, and flashlight -- maybe some additional items -- aren't just rolling around loose in my pocket. Oh yeah, a Galaxy Z Fold 3 and a set of Galaxy Buds 2 round things out. Things get changed for specific activities, like if I know I'll need decent pliers I'll carry the Leatherman Wave instead of the SAK. Camping might see a Mora Companion instead of a folder. And so forth.

    Zac! I want to hear you talk about hats if its something you're interested. I enjoy my headgear and have way to many hats and headgear and would love to hear you talk about some of the caps and other hats you wear and maybe if they have interesting stories.
    A cover on your head protects you from sun, cold, rain and all elements as well as displaying any type of message you want. A pivitol piece of EDC for everyone for thousands of years.

    • @zacinthewild

    • @dionysus6892
      @dionysus6892 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@zacinthewild there is a whole hat rabbit hole you might be surprised to learn you can fall down into. From historical reasons why certain styles appeared and died out and how different materials or styles became popular by the region they were in. Down to how some crown styles are formed to better deflect wind or rain or sun by where the wearer might encounter those environments more.
      Hope you have fun! Keep up the good work guys

    @rodolfoquezada1744 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats on the growth of the channel! But, on the note of pliers...pretty much daily I carry the 4 in Knipex cobra pliers along with my Leatherman Charge TTI in the slot where the extra bits would go, it's nice having an option between needle nose and something like the cobras with that adjustable feature along with that "bite" and full pliers function. I carry the 10 inch cobras 40-50+ hours at work and as you described the 5 inch ones these are just the same but 2x the size lol, I would recommend looking into the Knipex Wrench pliers, both 5 inch and 10 inch, they have an awesome ratchet like feature that once you get the hang of it you'll replace your normal adjustable wrench

    My top 5 EDC (UK Knife law safe):
    - Horizontal MOLLE EDC Pouch by One Tigris (it's cheap, well enough made and works)
    - Flash light (thrunite archer)
    - Victorinox ranger
    - Technicals RFID Card Wallet with cards/cash
    - small collection of first aid supplies and a mylar foil blanket
    at work I EDC a leather-man wave with the little set of screwdriver bits (I'm an engineer) but due to locking blades I cant carry that outside work, if I could I would, now I'm seriously considering adding that little set of grips you had in the video to my EDC because the leatherman pliers are what I most miss when I'm not at work
    My guilty pleasure knife (LOL) is a SOG Pillar, the only time I can carry it (because of law) is if I'm in Scotland wild camping and planning to do bush-craft, I have used it at work a few times tho

    Gifted Victorinox Huntsmans to my brothers (including chosen family) in 2021. It might be a bit thick for EDC, but fits well in your vehicle console, alongside a Leatherman or Giraffe multitool. Had use of the Huntsman saw blade when I threw a serpentine belt which got wrapped up and needed to be cut out. Not sure if you've done this, but would enjoy a vehicle console EDC: not under-storage or a toolbox in the bed of a truck, but simply items which are super useful in console storage, that arm-rest station and USB charging hub with easy and immediate access.

    Certain that it likely took much effort and work to bring about the improved change.

    I carry a sling very often. Even on top of my laptop case/tool bag for work. I am female, and I absolutely HATE the "purse look" as well. I own a few Nutsac bags and Alpaka slings, as well as some others. One sling is always strapped to me, and it's always full of the EDC things that I absolutely cannot live without. Yall should give it a try! They free up some pocket real estate while still being easily accessible.
    Keep up the great work! Love the videos!

    Awesome content as usual guys!
    I spent an hour on the Buck website last night playing with their custom build section thanks to you two 😜.
    My favourite gear I purchased this year are the Real Steel G Slip compact, the Real Steel Luna Thumb Stud and the NEBO Mycro 500+ headlamp (awesome headlamp if you are baseball cap guy/girl) .
    They didn’t come out and I didn’t buy them this year but I’ve finally got some good use out of my Lems Boulder leather boots. So comfortable, warm enough for UK winters with good socks, not great in the snow we had last week ⛸ 🕺 but I love ‘em.
    It would be awesome to see you guys in the UK if or when Zac goes internationally wild.
