Nutnfancy EDC System Update, 2011

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- By request, here's an update on my Rule of Law, EDC system from start to finish! Some interesting new items have been integrated which are discussed in TNP for the first time. A lot however remains consistent and still proven from 2008. Go prepared, rest easy.
I finally went out and bought a fanny pack lol
Love the gear reviews! Especially the knife reviews. They helped me develop my systems. Keep it up Nutn!
I know you don't carry a backup, but would you consider carrying a backup like a small NAA .22LR revolver in something like a neck sheath? I understand it is a small caliber, but as stated by Iraqvetran8888, "it's still a gun".
Because of your EDC videos I have developed my own system. I have found it extremely useful to ALWAYS have my gun, flashlight, and knife on me. Thank you for outstanding videos!
I know you're crazy busy but how bout a 2014 update to your edc...now that your older and wiser.
Lol. Thx man.
He just did one in 2013. Look it up.
No trauma gear.
I'm not old enough to carry a gun but my edc is a kershaw cryo leatherman wave fisher space pen bushnell pro flashlight zippo iPhone 4 my keys my wallet para cord bracelet and a Casio forester watch
And some earbuds
That's pretty close to what I carry, I also am not of legal age to conceal carry I fire arm
If only nutn fancy was in that movie theater, he could have saved the lives of some or all people, we need more people like him.
nutnfancy Do you live out in the boonies, the countryside? Or do you live in the suburbs? I'm guessing you are not a city guy.
I think you carry way too many knives, overkill, and unnecessary.
I would get rid of a few of those knives and carry a 6 in 1 full sized screwdriver set, like the one they sell at Home Depot. The screwdriver can also be used as a weapon and can also be used for prying things open. This is even better than your little titanium crowbar because it gives you much better grip and leverage, AND it is a lot cheaper. And of course, the 6-1 Husky screwdriver set can be very useful for what it is intended for. You don't have that capability in your kit.
I carry my Husky 6-1 screwdriver in my fanny pack with the shaft removed to shorten the screwdriver for compact carrying.
I also don't remember seeing a lighter in your kit. Flint and steel is good for backup, but a lighter is much easier to use and more practical in most situations. They are also very light and cheap. Did you even have flint and steel? Don't remember seeing that either.
And if you carry a pen, why not a notepad?

Been a long time TNPer but I dont EDC, maybe someone could clarify this for me. Is carrying 4 knives really necessary? If I was to EDC i couldn't imagine needing more then 1 utility knife and a good MT (maybe Leatherman wave maybe)
It seems like he is just overdoing it and making some of his gear redundant.
Great video, but this guy needs some serious help if he really does carry all this every day..
I carry about the same amount of gear, and to tell you the truth, it's not awful heavy. And also, ya gotta remember that as nutunfancy's plate carrier says "TNP gear junkie" which means he is probably testing most of his gear to get a feel for it so he can do reveiws on them.
It's nice to know I'm not the typical CCW (CPL here in WA) holder. I've sent over 4000 rounds downrange through my carry pistol, never a hang-up. Also, yes, I like carrying a 9mm for comfort.
Thanks for the great vid. Glad I was pointed in your direction. Keep up the good work!
If they are unwilling to go fanny pouch, belt carry, or some type of shoulder hip carry...they are as you mention - unwilling to go prepared with the needed items. Interesting video.
I have to brag a little. I was at my local Goodwill and found a Mountainsmith Vibe II for $1. It appears to be brand new. I never would have even considered buying it if it weren't for your video. I'm going to try it out for edc.
Three things to consider adding to this EDC: cell phone (I'm sure it's implied, but just in case, a phone is probably the second most important thing you can carry); digital watch with a compass; and a handkerchief.
loved all the knife combos you showed us. It was a fun video. I think this is like my 4th time watching it since Feb.... It's now August. I just love TNP
One alternative to the plastic silverware for some people who don't want the bulk: There is a tool much like a Swiss Army knife that has a spoon, knife and fork, it is small, compact and very useful in my experience.
I noticed that you omitted a wristwatch from this video, is that because you don't carry one or was it an oversight? I'm interested in knowing whether you carry a watch and if you do, what kind do you wear/recommend? I know that most people use their cell phones to tell time but if you're in a movie theater and wanna check the time, the light from a mobile phone can be distracting...
Col., You are the very definition of what us Army types used to call a "Peter Pilot". I've never seen anyone with a worse case of being a Peter Pilot in my entire life. Keep up the great vids! I love 'em.
Nutu'n, as for rounds through a carry gun, I put over 1000 rounds through mine in the year and a half I owned and carried it. I also practiced twice a month with it. Sadly I don't anymore as I moved to New Jersey, laws for ownership for firearms are so wacked out I don't want to chance it. I still do practice drawing and sight picture with a blue gun (I also make holsters). Great video, keep them coming!
I was wandering do you ever carry zip ties on you? I always carry 2 sizes small and large and have found that they come in handy.
Like Nutn...but the odds of needing a Taser are long...what are the odds of needing a refill?
Mind me asking why you choose tactical pants? Do they have a weapon concealment pocket on them? I personally use a pair of either BDU pants at the range or cargo pants everywhere else.
When you talked about the Tuscon thing, it reminded me of what one U.S. Senator said after it, he talked about how gun laws should be changed - that more people should be carrying. He also stated that if he was in that crowd, if he wasn't one of the first three taken out, that guy was going down quick. As for knives, I carry my everyday blade in my pocket and with my first responder knife(seatbelt cutter, window breaker, and of course, a blade, in my sock.
One thing I didn't see that was a set of restraints. If you're in a situation where you give the "drop the gun" order and they actually do, how will you de-escalate yourself and hold him till backup arrives?
"Always have a pen on you". Sage advice. I was just rear ended in a 4 car accident an hour ago and was the only person that had a pen to record insurance information.
Where I work you can't carry any type of weapon. A firing offence so I don't. When I'm home I'm a farmer so things change, a pf-9 vs woodchuck? Common to home and work is heavy equipment, trucks, tractors. The stuff I DO carry gets used often. Not boy scout ready, but tools that have to work. My pack that goes everywhere has things like led flash lights, a knife that is used daily, wire cutter, first aid, water and a "Vise'Grip-Schrade" Combo tool. Most used and useful thing I ever bought.
I like the stuff you carry, I always have a multi tool and knife, cell phone, and small first aid kit. Building a EDC bag with more stuff and re-doing my carry permit.thanks for all your work
I've got the Blazer Ammo webpage open for HGN ammo, and they do NOT offer a 9mm JHP, 115 gr or otherwise. Under "Clean Fire", they only offer 124 and 147 TMJ. Under "Blazer" they offer 115 and 124 FMJ and 147 TMJ. Last, even under "Blazer Brass" they only offer 115 and 124 FMJ RN. Did they used to offer Blazer 115 JHP 9mm but stopped?
no, the only way to weaken a spring is repeated load and unload of force, so as long as you compress it and leave it compressed or decompress it and leave it decompressed, you're fine. it's constant loading and unloading that will wear it out. the premise works with magazines, but i know because i'm an engineer, this is pretty basic mechanics of materials
Consider this, not trying to force my opinion just curious about your thoughts. You draw your weapon with your right, what happens if someone attacks you mid draw? You can't get shots off and now your fighting for control of the weapon. Do you want your knife on your left or your right? Someone mentioned this to me and it made total sense so I'm trying to become decent with my knife left handed.
I don't know about you guys but I have carried almost every style and brand of holster for edc from uncle mikes to Galco, and never really cared for any of them until I was turned onto the Crossbreed super tuck deluxe IWB and it is the most comfortable holster I have ever worn and me personally didnt have to change the way i dressed. I carry and HK P30 and forget that i have it on. I think everyone including you nutnfancy should look into this awsome holster for edc.
Damn nutnfancy is one well armed individual, i never thought to look beyond the gun knife and flashlight.
Here's what I have on me at all times - medium-sized folding knife (3-4"), a Vic Alox handled SAK like a Cadet , 4Sevens Quark Mini 123 LED light, cell phone, keys (w/ coin light, pen & paracord lanyard) and wallet. Now I carry a backpack (Maxpedition Falcon 2) that has much more than nutn's fanny pack including a more comprehensive FAK but I only carry it to work or when i go out of town and such. It is not ON me at all times but nearby in the car, by my desk, in my hotel room, etc. Great job!
You carry more than one knife, and a cutlery set.
I couldn't continue any further, i was in tears.
One good addition I have to my EDC is a length of duct tape coiled on a thin piece of cardboard. I use it constantly and am always saving the day with it.
Do you have an alternative holster to the shoulder holster for your PF9 concealed carry, other than belt clip? Did you make the backing piece for the belly band Kahr 9 holster? I find needing to have a t-shirt between the belly band and my skin.
It has been mentioned, but it is worth saying again...you're right: a bic belongs in his EDC. -- Veri
i use that Galco shoulder holster/KelTec PF9 combo for my EDC as well. my only complaint is that the back of the PF9's slide is slanted and makes the gun prone to slipping out of the holster. have you noticed this tendency?
Not to be a hater, but once you use the nylon utensils, aren't you putting a dirty spoon or what ever back in your pocket?
I have watched your video from 2008 and this video on EDC and I was wondering where do you keep your camera since you sometimes have it out with you?
with all the stuff he carries, hopefully he never falls out of a boat
just out of interest how many times have you shot your concealed carry weapon for defence?
"look how my nylon utensils dominate!" Hahaha! I love it, I thought I was the only person that carried stuff like that, mine is a light my fire spork, kept in my bag though not in my pocket. Thanks for the update Nutn!
I looked at the VIBE II on this recommend and I bought one. It now holds the core of my wilderness kit. This Buttpack DOES NOT FLOP AROUND. I don't NEED the padding but it adds TURGIDITY, folks. Very slim profile. Its small but that's GOOD. This is the one. Thx, NUTN (you, too, Veri).
Have you had any problems with your PF9? I originally planned on purchasing one of those for my first CCW firearm but the gun shop owner was saying how many of these he recently got back to send in for repair. I ended up purchasing a Taurus 709 Slim.
Nutnfancy, I Know this video is a little old, But I am looking for an EDC Bag I have been looking into the Maxpedition Remora and it seems to be perfect for my need. Are there any similar sling type bags that maybe a little more cost effective?
True Story: In Bass Pro Shop last year with Nutn and I cut my finger pretty good. After ribbing me for being unprepared he supplied me with a band-aid. Yes, he really has this fanny pack loaded up all the time.
wallet, phone, keys, chapstick, bic mini, pen, highlighter, multitool, light
thats all i ever need
Some compact water wings might be a useful addition to Nutn's EDC system. Even the strongest swimmers can get themselves in trouble when they're weighed down by a bunch of knives & guns. Also, having a fire extinguisher on hand, can often save the day.
what knife would you recommend for everyday it has to have a maximum blade length of 2" and upto $50 a lot of people say one of the spyderco's but I dont like the hole in the blade? thanks
The scuff plates (metal plate you step over as you enter the fuselage) in the door frame of Boeing jets is made out of 6al4v titanium. Good stuff!
Nutn.. to your point of horizontal carry, I agree with you. Even if you front pocket carry, when you sit down, the weapon is horizontal. Use a desantis or something similar and go to lunch with your wife or friend, you may be pointing it at them. (although I always try to turn my leg a bit) The important part is it's holstered in a quality holster.... my 2c's...
BTW, what are your thoughts on the PF9 plastic guide rod? Have you swapped yours to aftermarket steel, or are you stock? PM9 owner...
Where can I purchase the miniature titanium pry bar of this size? I hope you have time to respond. Thank you.
How do you carry these blades Nutnfancy? Aren't blade lengtha limited to 3 inches in public?
Hey I was just wondering does your cadet ever scratch up your light because I was gonna start carrying my tinker in the same pocket a my light like you do?
Do they still make mountainsmith vibe II's?
I've been looking all over online and can't find any.
Nutn / Veri... where do you find the CCI/Blazer aluminum 115gr JHP ? I can't seem to find... Thx Russ
How does the new ruger that looks like a LCP but shoots 9mm (LC9?) stack up to the Kahr and Kel-tec 9's?
I finally started integrating a defensive blade and multi tool. The downside is I have to think what I'm going to carry today. My cadet is now part of my EDC rotation.
I have been to the Nutnfancy school for years now so my EDC looks a lot like that.Just without the gun for legal reasons.
2 knives, tactical baton, pepper spray, trauma kit, multitool, 2 flashlights, extra batteries, whistle, pen, matches, wallet, watch, sharpie marker.
That's just on me.I have a EDC backpack in the car with level one first aid, food, water, rope, gloves, more flashlights and batteries, mutlitool and more ...
I'm surprised you don't carry measuring or fire tools. I carry a 6' tape and a Zippo. I live in Chicago so many lethal tools are not possible. I would carry my S&W 632, but can't carry in IL. I typically carry a Gerber Epic and Crucial, though I rarely wear the Epic in Chicago proper so the Crucial's blade and bottle opener provide a nice redundancy. The Nebo CSI Luma50 is a nice size compromise between the Preon 1 and 2, and I'm not a fan of twist ons. Any 2012 updates?
@charlesburton95 haha, thats not his edc knife, thats his tactical knife, the tiny delica is his edc knife.
What state do you live in???
Whats the point of a space pen? Idk how often you are upside down or in zero gravity ... but I never am. A regular pen works perfectly fine.
You can try a syringe needle than the regular one. The syringe needle it already in it's case, it is sterile and you can dig much better with it than the regular one, because of it sharp tip that cuts.
What should I get the Charge AL or the TTI?
mt grandfather was a aircraft mechanic for wide bodies on commercial planes so he has a ton of super strong tape.he is my go 2 man
I love how you can actually make a change purse and a fanny pack appear manly and appropriate.
I like the crowbar. I'm digging the Gerber "Shard". It goes on your key chain and can act as a crowbar, flat head/philips screw driver, bottle opener, and file (or so they say). Might be a nice addition to the gear.
I recently added the Kimber Pepper blaster to my EDC system. Fits in the front pocket of the Vibe II. What do you think of that? Would you ever review that?
When you make videos, do you use another microphone, other than the one one the videocamera? Also, when you upload the videos, does it always take so darn long to upload? I am new to making videos, and I need some (lots) of advice, I ask you because you are one of the people who have had the most influence on me doing this. I love your videos, your concise, to the point, logical and entertaining at once. I agree with most of your opinions, and when I don't, I'm not rude about it. Would you be able to help me to get better at this? I have only 6 videos, and I wouldn't mind making this a part of what I do. Take care, sincerely, F.D.
When are we going to get a 2014 edc update Nutnfancy??...
hey , what would you carry to a wedding or some other formal situation you would have to wear a suit?
On the gun, I know you really like the p238, I am going to be turning 21 soon and wanting to get my ccw, I have held both the p238 and the pf9 and I am torn between the 2 guns. I really like the 238 more (2nd type, I just love it). What does the pf9 do better that makes you carry it over the p238?
@ThePurcy Ya, the UK has some pretty screwed up self-defense law. Do you guys even have anything close to the Castle Doctrine? (If you're not sure what that is, it's a law that states that if an intruder poses a threat inside your home, in or at your car, or at your place of work, you don't have to try to retreat before using force)
Why is it a bad thing to take care of ones environment? Do you sweep your floors, wash your dishes, dust your cabinets, or disinfect your bathroom? So why wouldn't you take care of your outside environment?
Very prepared indeed! Suggestion: You might think about adding a small, light tape measure, maybe a 10' at the most. I carry one in my EDC setup, and have saved the day several times with it... at the office "What's the size of that drawing?" Shopping with the wife, "Do you think that table is too wide for that place in our dining room?"
Tried to look at your usk videos from jan 10 and could only play part 1. Patrs 2 and 3 siaid playback not allowed on ipad.
Hey there, Nutnfancy. Outstanding video once again. I really like the search bar thumbnails. Mentioned your channel to Leatherman when I sent my Wave back for warranty work. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting video.
Just one question. Is there any 'risk' for the nylon spoon to melt and leave bad taste on very hot food?
Nutnfancy have you seen the light my fire spork? And would you every consider it over your lexan utensils? They caught my eye because Im really trying to cut out as much space and weight as I can.
Hey nutnfancy does the PF9 trigger guard whack against your finger when you shoot the gun? I can't find one to rent at my range because they tell me "it's not a range gun" lol.
@yahtzee4u you think im talking about a game where body parts explode by being shot by a .44? would love to know what game does that. I did not mean it that literaly, what im saying is: if you use a .5 cal on somebody, it leaves a realy big hole, if you can get your hands on one of those illigal rounds that expand upon impact, a 45 leaves a 5 inch hole, i would like to see one of those not killing someone...
Great vid. I carry something similar, but in a backpack "man purse". I'm one of those freaks that carry a 5" 1911 in a Comp-Tac MTAC, and four CMC 8rd mags every single day. I carry a Kershaw Blur Tanto, a Leatherman, small Pelican flashlight, lighter, small first aid kit in the backpack, lighter, two sets of zip tie "cuffs" and a small bundle of loose ones. There's a bunch of other crap I lug around, but that's the bulk of it. Great work, and keep up the awesome vids, man.
do you, or anyone else, have a problem with the preon 2 accidentally turning on when clipped to the pocket like that? it has been a real problem for me.
knives aren't completely illegal in the UK btw, just have to be unlockable sub 3inches
When are you going to make it? -- Veri
Thanks Nutnfancy I've learned something new today- worth watching again!
hey nutn, for the spyderco blade, they have different blade qualities such ad vg10 etc etc, which is best one to get?
I change up my daily carry depending on my outfit for the day. Depending on my line of work my chances of running into a troublesome scenario are exceptionally low so I might as well look like a slick mother-lover. But I have the luxury of having the ability to go shooting every week and I also focus on my carry pistols more than anything.
And in case you're wondering, the fabric has many uses. From making a bandage with it and the duct-tape to blowing your nose, it's there when I need it.
@FriendofCat What do you carry in your camelbak when you go camping?
But .. Where are the lock picks?
What does"SAWC" mean? It was mentioned in the vid here.
Nutn, have you tried bravo concealment holsters and raven concealment holster?
If not been said already: The extra pocket fits the iPhone perfectly! Where do you stash your wallet? I personally put it in the cargo pockets, eventhough it bounces around a little bit, I prefer that over having the front slash pockets stuffed... Cheers bro!
I don't know how i got here, but the hole 40min was so interesting.
True, but Nutn does a hell of a lot more than just go to the grocery store. If that's what you're doing...you're right. -- Veri
My college currently allows concealed carry on campus, but to be honest I don't want to be wearing things that even look tactical, and may make me a target. I would prefer to just blend into the crowd. Do you or anyone else have recommendations? I currently carry a 1911 with a 4 inch barrel, but may switch to a glock 19 here soon.
My EDC has a bit of a different come from - more around wilderness survival than personal defense. I'm beefing that element up but my mentality is still wilderness survival. So, here's what I carry each and every day.
* 3-ways to start a fire: small lighter, steel striker and fresnel lense (small, carried in wallet.
* Leatherman Juice S2
* Kershaw 1760
* Surefire SF 6p Defender
* Casio Pathfinder 2000 (compass, barometer, altimeter, Thermometer)
* Google Nexus One Cellphone
Hey nutnfancy! Good info even though it's two years old. Any updates? Which gun did you specify when you bought the Galco Classic holster? Thanks.
