Literally every pocket dump or product feature is going to be tied to affiliate links or as you say "an advertisement". Imagine being this idealistic and daft about the world.
I don't know if this is weird to say or whatever, but I really appreciate you guys and the content you make. The majority of my family was military, and they are all gone now, and I have been trying to find ways to feel connected to them as a kid which has been hard. Your videos have helped me kind of see what they might have done on a day to day with how they thought how they talked how they fought etc. So, I just wanted to say thanks for your guy's awesome content.
My EDC 1)Casio dive watch 2)Samsung S20 3)Streamlight Microstream 4)Spyderco Tenacious 5)Leather Wallet 6)Glock 17 Gen4 with a DPP and TLR1 in a Trex sidecar. I never leave the house without any of that
Hand grenade, hell yeah! I keep a dummy grenade in my truck cup holder, and I used to keep one in my coat pocket when I worked for a local FFL as a gag. Had a pair of younger guys come in to look at some Sigs and the one just could not put down the 365X Macro, because it fit so well in his hand and he really liked it. His buddy told him to hurry up "before there's a problem," as a joke, so I opened my coat to flash the grenade and said, "You're fine, you'll know when there's a problem." Homeboy almost dropped the Sig when they burst out laughing.
Great video, Adam! Here is what I carry: 1. Sig P365 with a romeo zero 2. Spyderco Paramilitary 2 3. Sharpie 4. Helikon-Tex 5. IFAK - nitrile gloves, chest seals, SWAT-T tourniquet (I have kids), compressed gauze, 14gauge needle 6. Philster Skeleton holster 7. Bic lighter 8. Garmin Delta Applied Ballistics 9. Ridge Wallet 10. Olight Baton 3 Pro 11. Leatherman Juice 12. iPhone 15 Pro Highly recommend an IFAK in the fanny pack.
My two cents: I carry a small lock pick set, maybe just a tension tool and octo-rake. Remarkably small tools that could really come in handy if needed. In a world or protests and riots the ability to crack a lock that can be re-locked behind you is a very attractive advantage. You can become very proficient in a couple hours watching TH-cam. Second, I would swap that wallet for a Eufy clip. This gives you the ability to GPS track your wallet if lost. It also allows you to have a GPS tag in case you want to dump it in your laptop bag, gun case or whatever you want to keep your eye on.
It’s very true about the flashlight. When I started carrying a stream light wedge I notice I use it multiple times a day just for better lighting, get someone’s attention or disrupt their OODA cycle, navigate the house without turning on the overhead light at night, see what’s going on in my backyard. So far I’m already carrying everything from the pocket dump.
Timex expedition has been my go to for 15 years. I’ve been through 2 and both have been through countless dives, motorcycle crashes etc. and still to this day work.
precisely. rolex is a just a status symbol and aren’t as accurate as a simple quartz movement. automatic watches are cool mechanically but they’re not the tip of the technological iceberg. quartz watches are cheaper, more accurate and more durable.
Thanks for the video. I carry a SWAT-T so I have at least something for medical. Not the best for self application but I like how I can just put it in my back pocket and use it as a tourniquet for adults/kids/infants and also use it as a bandage. My EDC: Garmin Fenix 7, Sig 365 XL (17 round mag) with TLR 7 Sub, alien gear holster, Karambit, spare mag, SWAT-T.
Id love to see you guys put a couple more of these videos out. At the beginning you were talking about the surprise pocket dump and I think that'd be a really interesting thing to catch people off guard with to see what they really carry every day
I carry a multi-tool. The leatherman skeletool is great! I use that for a lot of utility work that pops up randomly, then carry another blade for self defense. It’s a solid option.
Marathon automatic watch (GSAR) Microtech UTX-85 Olight i5T Plus Bellroy wallet (carry's only what I need) Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS with Trijicon RMR (switched up depending on weather)
Glock 19 with Holosun 508t and X300T, Splinter fixed blade knife from WPS, some kind of gerber pocket knife, streamlight flashlight, phone, $400 cash and brass knuckles from spooky pockets (😂). I also have a Fanny pack with an IFAK in it and a 300 blk with an extra mag in the truck. Due to the nature of my job I can see my truck at pretty much all times of the day so I feel comfortable keeping some more valuable stuff in it until I’m home for the day and can take it out
Thank you for the honest Dump! I find myself often thinking, that all the other YT Dumpers, well either wear an extra backpack for all the stuff, or have a whole survival kit with them. For me it depends where I go. City, work, beeing outdoors, military service. But what I always carry, is a Watch, a knife, my Phone and my wallet. This comes with me, even when I wear a suit.Thank you for the video!
Handy list of tools Adam. I switch between a pocket knife and a multitool for the utility blade. Only thing I would add to your set up would be a handkerchief/bandana. Very versatile, medical, face mask, sweat band, emergency TP etc..... I like the minimalist wallet as well. Nate
I typically stick to one firearm with spare mag. Two blades, one for tasks the other for defense, usually folder and a fixed. Wallets one for id, ins cards, and cash, the other wallet is just ccs. Lastly, just keys and one or two flashlights depending upon season and clothing.
I also carry a laminated piece of paper with my 7 most important phone numbers on away from my wallet and phone. Small fisher space pen and “rite in the rain on the go wallet notebook 2”x3.37. I seriously recommend the phone number thing and the tiny rite in the rain notepad, they’ll disappear in your pockets and the value/utility they add is huge. (Writing instrument is your choice)
I live in Memphis and was quite surprised you mentioned it. Last year we averaged over 1 shooting death per day, needless to say im looking for land to buy.
I always carry a Leatherman Wave in my 5th pocket of my jeans, I probably use it equally as much as a flashlight. Leatherman is easy to scale down too, they make so many models these days it'd be worth looking into some type of multitool for your EDC, in my opinion.
Hey bro, you and your sisters been addressed. Literally before the first two minutes. How about you quit bitching. They all do the same thing. Learn some shit.
I would add a tourniquet or compress to your kit. For me: keys, micro wallet with RFID protection (been skimmed twice), cash separate, foam earplugs (for work), small Swiss Army knife, fixed blade pocket knife, lens cloth, TQ, NAR micro gauze, 2x rubber bands, bic lighter, wristwatch, phone, pen, and spiritus Fanny.

Yo! EDC Drop! 😬 - Apple Watch Ultra (cellular) - IPhone 15 Pro Max in Juggernaut Case (Advntr) - Kershaw OTF Dagger Blade - Hershel Wallet - Olight Warrior Mini 3 (1750 Lumans) - Sig P365 / Holosun RD / Viridian Weapon Light that also records audio and video - Extra 15 Round Mag - AirPods in Catalyst Case - NDCQ (Not Dead Can’t Quit) Challenge Coin - Orange Tic Tacs 🧡👍🏼
Multi tool (self explanatory), and a six ft length of Paracord. The Paracord functions as a quick way to tie something down / hold it in place or as a toy for kids.
Watch, phone, Distil Union wallet, Tier 1 Axis Elite, Staccato C2 mostly, 43X MOS when it is hot out, spare mags (16 and 20 for the C2, Shield S15 and S15 + 5 for the 43X), both pistols have RMR’s and TLR-7 lights, 43X has new irons.
Only thing I would add or change is drop one of the fixed knives for a multi-tool and carry a tourniquet. I like the SnakeStaff systems ETQ, small and easy to carry. Nice vid!
Another phenomenal holster company is T1C they make really great, expensive, but great products. I love the set up, I'm constantly testing my edc. It's always a working progress. I didn't think about a watch that's a good one.
I recommend a multitool in lieu of the pocket knife. I like the Leatherman Wingman or Skeletool because of their pocket clips. It’ll still retain the practicality of having an administrative knife but also give you access to a couple small tools
I've done private security for about 2 years. I've found that Bluetooth earbuds allow you to communicate with police while keeping your hands free of your phone. Speakerphone can be unreliable in a hectic situation. Many earbuds have a transparency/pass-through mode that don't restrict situational awareness. One thing to note is that some brands put a primary microphone in only one earbud and you should know which earbud that is. Google Pixel Buds Pro is the left earbud. Very useful for medical emergencies of loved ones
Recently got into watches. Haven't hit the Omega/Rolex level yet, but I have become partial to Hamilton watches. While they aren't US owned anymore (owned by a Swiss conglomerate now), they have a pretty important legacy from back in WW2. They're quality pieces and don't break the bank. An Omega Seamaster 300 is next on my list for a high end watch.
Front right, I carry keys with tiny reading glasses, OKC Rat II, chapstick, and challenge coin. Front left, I carry Surefire GX2 with Thrym and CTK4 TQ. Rear right, I carry my main wallet. Rear left, I carry another wallet for misc cards and RadID. I carry a G43 with Costa Ludus sights and +3 mag ext and 1 spare mag if using a Galco shoulder holster or 2 spare mags if carrying in my 5.11 fanny pack. The G43 in my fanny pack also has the Streamlight TLR6 light and laser. I own 2 G43s and just leave them in each holster. In cold weather I put a G43 in a DeSantis pocket holster and put it in a jacket pocket and I'll carry 2 mags in a separate pocket. I carry a phone and my watch is a Garmin Instict 2 Tactical edition.
Wish i got the GMT but my sea dweller with one piece nato strap Seiko diver is another great watch. Automatic is the way to go. no battery to die on deployment
I edc a HPG snubby fanny pack that i always have my wallet, phone, keys(that have a leatherman micra), boker strike, streamlight macro, SOFFT-W and a HPG admin pouch inside that serves as an ifak that holds a pack of combat gauze, nitrile gloves, and a variety of single dose packaged meds like tylenol, benadryl, imodium and oral glucose along with different sizes bandaids, triple antibiotic ointment and some indvidual dude wipes. I switch between carrying a P365XL in the back pouch with a Dale Fricke Zacchaeus holster and appendix carrying a P320XCarry in a MSP holster with a Hunter Constantine belt
G19/SRO, small wallet, Surefire stiletto, phone, car key/other keys on separate key chains, chapstick, lighter, AirPods and a small fixed blade. I sometimes carry a Leatherman skeletool, but it gets to be a bit much with the other stuff I’m carrying.
Good stuff. I’m stealing the cash separate idea. My summer EDC: Luminox watch iPhone Filson leather bifold wallet Agonic belt Glock 48MOS with 507k and TRL7 Tennicor appendix holster Spare mag on neomag clip Benchmade Bailout Tanto Streamlight Macrostream USB I also carry a small non tactical looking Mystery Ranch pack with medical, leatherman, pens/paper, battery bank, water bottle, another spare mag, wipes, snacks/water for the kids, and whatever other items I need for the day. The pack stays in the car if it’s short just a trip into convenience store but I’ll bring it with me if we’re going somewhere like the mall.
Absolutely love this! Can you guys please make the Fanny pack in other colors? Would love to see a crossover between the Cotopaxi color pallet and the Spiritus Systems quality - would make carrying with all outfits that much easier!
I love a Zippo, major cool factor, but you’ve got to maintain them. They dry out over time and you’ve got to refill them even if you’re not using them.
Seiko makes some inexpensive automatic watches. I have an expensive Omega but I wear the Seiko Samurai more because I'm less concerned about it getting scratched. The fresnel lens is good because I wear glasses and if they get lost or broken being able to read things in a pinch would be really helpful.
Ok, Nice pocket Dump coverage, i do carry same kind of multitool, like Leatherman Wave ore some other brand, Sog, Gerber for example...it gives me more options to deal with what the day can trow at you ...
I’m a huge advocate of OC spray. I think OC gets a bad rap in the 2A community because it’s often seen as the “better than nothing” tool we give to our loved ones who don’t want to carry a fire arm. However, I’ve been EDCing an OC for years and have deployed it multiple times (all during dog attacks thus far). Also, before anyone’s gets their panties in a bunch, I realize that OC is no match for a firearm in terms of being a defensive tool but it does have a broad range of applications and is often effective. Not to mention, it doesn’t carry any where near the same potential legal consequences to deploy in a self defense scenario. In short, you won’t go to jail for the rest of your life because you hit someone with the hot sauce, even if it was under questionable circumstances.
My mom predates the EDC craze with a miniature leatherman that’s lived on her keychain longer than I’ve been around. Always having a bottle opener and a simple knife to help people open stuff goes a long way
I carry an ifak.. rat tq.chest seal, space blanket..then common band aids.. my light is an o light mini 3 and my time piece is an amazfit trex 2. Smart watch. Kinda.. like a g shock. I am a Fire Captain. I also have a leathman tread as well as a leatherman signal on me at all times.
Pen, pencil, or sharpie. Depending on the day I either use my flashlight or a writing utensil the most. If you guys sold the wallet I'd give it a try. I keep going back to a minimalist style.
My California EDC is 1. Shield with a 507k/ TLR6 in a Werkz holster 2. Manix 2 LW 3. Armatus carry wallet 4. Nitecore EDC27 light 5. And a CAT Tourniquet 6. Galaxy S23 Ultra
Nice and realistic. Not the batman utility belt, and the kitchen sink. You mentioned edc "multi role" fixed blades. I would like to see what you guys look for when selecting one.
Take my money for the big Fanny pack already. Please make some more. Love my MK3, that thing rocks. Great for cycling with a modded out Glock 26 and very little else. Kindly restock more of the new big ones. Thanks for everything, love the products and content!
For those not wanting to buy a Rolex, Orient Mako II is an absolutely fantastic alternative dive watch with an automatic movement. Smaller than the Casio if you got smaller wrists.
@adnankader226 depending on where you look, anywhere between $170 and $225. Last I looked on Amazon, it was $180. You can also get a Kamasu from Orient for around the same price, same specs just a different dial and a sapphire crystal.
I also carry a Rolex (Daytona Paul Newman 6239) but I also EDC my rare 3-inch tea cup from the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua Emperor so I have access to sip my yellow gold tea buds in style and elegance.
Im on 11 and off 3 so my main duty gun is sig tacops 1911 with an x300 and an umnumzaan then the 3 days off ill switch between a springfield garrison, vp9 or p365, sf stilleto and a hinderer xm18
Don’t underestimate a light. I carry the stream light micro stream. As I get older my vision is going to crap. I use it so often to light up restaurant menus and small text, and am constantly dropping stuff between my car seats.
G'day Adam. Great kit you've got there, couldn't fault it but maybe a torniquet & sanitizer would be a great addition yet still be minimalist. We've got that Bumbag (not Fanny Pack) for its conveniences. regular pocket dump on SS guests would be awesome mate. Love the intro where you take out a grenade from the pocket...!! Your humours make the show. Besides the cards, that wallet could be turn into a cozy for the grenade.?! Cheers from Australia.
I don't see how people get by day to day without some sort of multitool. It seems like more and more half the stuff I carry has some sort of fastener on it and being able to repair my stuff is great. That said, the "odd" thing I do is carry a little bigger wallet (Alpaka Zip for anyone who cares) that fits half of a Leatherman bit kit (mostly just allens and torx bits), bit extender, and a Pocket Wrench II in addition to my cards. I find I forget, lose, or otherwise stop carrying small items I don't need all the time (like a lighter) so having things in a system that stays together is beneficial.
1 I need that jacket!!! 2 snake staff tourniquet, I made a gaffer tape sleev for it too keep the velcro from getting gunked up with lint and such. 3 sog powerpint sometimes. a awesome tiny multitool 4 5-11 skyweight chest rig. Super low vis chest rig I use for hiking and sometimes during winter under a jacket or riding. Can squeeze my 19X into it as well 5 power packs to recharge your devices I've found to be invaluable. I use anker 6 rovyvon Keychain flashlights are super awesome can't say enough good things about them 7 the 5-11 skyweight backpack is super awesome little pack you can keep inside other bags or your car. I use it everyday for my laptop love it Someone please tell me about this jacket.
Pocket knife, Trifold wallet so my back hurts when I’m older, surefire edc2 with rechargeable 123s, cash on a clip, g19 in a first gen incog, wrist watch, iPhone, cigar cutter, torch, and the one thing I think Adam should have that he doesn’t, a pen.
@SpiritusSystems Adam, which rubber strap is that for your Seadweller, Everest? I have the RubberB in deployant but thinking about changing it out for something with a buckle.
17 minute commercial.
This is a business bro….. kinda the point 😂
@danielmejia3911 he's the guy that doesn't understand what it takes to keep business doors open.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt
Being pinned is so based
Literally every pocket dump or product feature is going to be tied to affiliate links or as you say "an advertisement". Imagine being this idealistic and daft about the world.
I don't care if people think they are cliche, pocket dump videos are great.
The world needs the Spiritus Systems wallet... release it!
Agree with this
Yes agree
yep
Yes
Just don't make it another dump pouch.
I don't know if this is weird to say or whatever, but I really appreciate you guys and the content you make. The majority of my family was military, and they are all gone now, and I have been trying to find ways to feel connected to them as a kid which has been hard.

That thumbnail 😂 thank you for the video Adam
Someone please tell him 3 is 2, 2 is 1 & 1 is none! He needs to EDC 3 of those in his pocket. 😂
Hand grenade, hell yeah! I keep a dummy grenade in my truck cup holder, and I used to keep one in my coat pocket when I worked for a local FFL as a gag.

Helikon-Tex what?
Super interested in that elastic wallet
My two cents: I carry a small lock pick set, maybe just a tension tool and octo-rake. Remarkably small tools that could really come in handy if needed.

I typically stick to one firearm with spare mag. Two blades, one for tasks the other for defense, usually folder and a fixed. Wallets one for id, ins cards, and cash, the other wallet is just ccs. Lastly, just keys and one or two flashlights depending upon season and clothing.
I also carry a laminated piece of paper with my 7 most important phone numbers on away from my wallet and phone. Small fisher space pen and “rite in the rain on the go wallet notebook 2”x3.37.

At 1 shooting death a day, you were surprised he mentioned it as a place he didn't love stopping? 😅
I always carry a Leatherman Wave in my 5th pocket of my jeans, I probably use it equally as much as a flashlight. Leatherman is easy to scale down too, they make so many models these days it'd be worth looking into some type of multitool for your EDC, in my opinion.

Love the EDC and reasons why. One note on the Zippo, they tend to evaporate fuel in a day or two. In my opinion that's where the bic is useful.
That's why I went with an IMCO. Also, they are a single action to spark and lift the cover.
I’ve been using a tubular elastic piece as a wallet/cardholder for a while, would definitely buy a spiritus one though

I always carry a multitool knife with a 2nd pistol a Internal hammer revolver. Also a TQ. You can where it around ur ankle.
I carry a BIC lighter too... I also place several rolls of duct tape on it and find it so helpful and a small Leatherman!
I carry a fresnel lens. It’s not hokey. It comes in very handy if you don’t have reading glasses handy.
True, maybe hokey is the wrong word.

Nice CC list Adam, the only item I'm surprised you had (other than a 2nd knife), was a spare magazine
Wish i got the GMT but my sea dweller with one piece nato strap Seiko diver is another great watch. Automatic is the way to go. no battery to die on deployment
I edc a HPG snubby fanny pack that i always have my wallet, phone, keys(that have a leatherman micra), boker strike, streamlight macro, SOFFT-W and a HPG admin pouch inside that serves as an ifak that holds a pack of combat gauze, nitrile gloves, and a variety of single dose packaged meds like tylenol, benadryl, imodium and oral glucose along with different sizes bandaids, triple antibiotic ointment and some indvidual dude wipes. I switch between carrying a P365XL in the back pouch with a Dale Fricke Zacchaeus holster and appendix carrying a P320XCarry in a MSP holster with a Hunter Constantine belt
Ridge wallet, watch (Galaxy, one of many automatic divers, or G-Shock), Surefire EDC flashlight, Surefire Delta folding knife, BIC lighter, challenge coin, Rogers Precision custom 1991, M&P Competitor, Glock 17, 45, 19, 26, or Sig 365X.
G19/SRO, small wallet, Surefire stiletto, phone, car key/other keys on separate key chains, chapstick, lighter, AirPods and a small fixed blade.
I sometimes carry a Leatherman skeletool, but it gets to be a bit much with the other stuff I’m carrying.
My edc
1: Stacatto P
2: Amex platinum
3: 8 ball of coke
4: Rolex submariner
5: Emerson cqc 15
I know guys like this lmao
Good stuff. I’m stealing the cash separate idea.
My summer EDC:
Luminox watch
iPhone
Filson leather bifold wallet
Agonic belt
Glock 48MOS with 507k and TRL7
Tennicor appendix holster
Spare mag on neomag clip
Benchmade Bailout Tanto
Streamlight Macrostream USB
I also carry a small non tactical looking Mystery Ranch pack with medical, leatherman, pens/paper, battery bank, water bottle, another spare mag, wipes, snacks/water for the kids, and whatever other items I need for the day. The pack stays in the car if it’s short just a trip into convenience store but I’ll bring it with me if we’re going somewhere like the mall.
Agonic belt is NICE.
Absolutely love this! Can you guys please make the Fanny pack in other colors? Would love to see a crossover between the Cotopaxi color pallet and the Spiritus Systems quality - would make carrying with all outfits that much easier!
I love a Zippo, major cool factor, but you’ve got to maintain them. They dry out over time and you’ve got to refill them even if you’re not using them.
1. MP shield
2. Two mags they're tiny)
3. Wallet
4. Money clip for cash
5. Phone
6. Pepper spray
Seiko makes some inexpensive automatic watches. I have an expensive Omega but I wear the Seiko Samurai more because I'm less concerned about it getting scratched.
The fresnel lens is good because I wear glasses and if they get lost or broken being able to read things in a pinch would be really helpful.
Leatherman (or your choice of multi tool), and a set of ear buds for hands free calls or just listening to music etc
My EDC is a 38 special revolver, hip flask of rye, 100$ in 1s, box of XL prophylactics and a buck 110.
Ok, Nice pocket Dump coverage, i do carry same kind of multitool, like Leatherman Wave ore some other brand, Sog, Gerber for example...it gives me more options to deal with what the day can trow at you ...
I carry a Glock 22 Gen 4, alien gear iwb holster, extra mags, cell phone, watch,wallet, flashlight, Kershaw pocket knife, keys, and medical.
I’m a huge advocate of OC spray. I think OC gets a bad rap in the 2A community because it’s often seen as the “better than nothing” tool we give to our loved ones who don’t want to carry a fire arm. However, I’ve been EDCing an OC for years and have deployed it multiple times (all during dog attacks thus far). Also, before anyone’s gets their panties in a bunch, I realize that OC is no match for a firearm in terms of being a defensive tool but it does have a broad range of applications and is often effective. Not to mention, it doesn’t carry any where near the same potential legal consequences to deploy in a self defense scenario. In short, you won’t go to jail for the rest of your life because you hit someone with the hot sauce, even if it was under questionable circumstances.
Short, to the point, nothing you don't need. I dig it. More like this @adam
lol
My mom predates the EDC craze with a miniature leatherman that’s lived on her keychain longer than I’ve been around. Always having a bottle opener and a simple knife to help people open stuff goes a long way
I’d like to see a close up of those lockers in the background. Those are sick! Locker loadout video🙏🏻
I carry an ifak.. rat tq.chest seal, space blanket..then common band aids.. my light is an o light mini 3 and my time piece is an amazfit trex 2. Smart watch. Kinda.. like a g shock. I am a Fire Captain. I also have a leathman tread as well as a leatherman signal on me at all times.
Helikon fanny packs are fanastic too, married with velcro holster/loop or trigger guard.
Pen, pencil, or sharpie. Depending on the day I either use my flashlight or a writing utensil the most. If you guys sold the wallet I'd give it a try. I keep going back to a minimalist style.
Guerilla tactical TQ Holster and pocket med kit. If you carry all the stuff to make people bleed, you should carry the stuff to make them not bleed.
Carry a tourniquet in a ankle holster when wearing pants. Maybe some compact gauze in shrink wrap
I carry a carbide bead on an elastic wrist bungie cord, great to break car windows for emergencies.
My California EDC is
1. Shield with a 507k/ TLR6 in a Werkz holster
2. Manix 2 LW
3. Armatus carry wallet
4. Nitecore EDC27 light
5. And a CAT Tourniquet
6. Galaxy S23 Ultra
Also - the wallet. Looks like the one philster used to make - similar material? Like a super wild elastic? Call it the kraken and release it.
Best TH-cam thumbnail
What is that anorak type jacket he’s got on? Looks comfortable af!
SnakeStaff Systems TQ & leatherman skeletool would be sick additions.
You should check out the Dutch V41 grenade, you can carry 2 or 3 in the same space as that M67 in the thumbnail, lol.
My favorite comment.
Nice and realistic.
Not the batman utility belt, and the kitchen sink.
You mentioned edc "multi role" fixed blades.
I would like to see what you guys look for when selecting one.
Take my money for the big Fanny pack already. Please make some more. Love my MK3, that thing rocks. Great for cycling with a modded out Glock 26 and very little else. Kindly restock more of the new big ones. Thanks for everything, love the products and content!
For those not wanting to buy a Rolex, Orient Mako II is an absolutely fantastic alternative dive watch with an automatic movement. Smaller than the Casio if you got smaller wrists.
Price ?!
@adnankader226 depending on where you look, anywhere between $170 and $225. Last I looked on Amazon, it was $180. You can also get a Kamasu from Orient for around the same price, same specs just a different dial and a sapphire crystal.
I also carry a Rolex (Daytona Paul Newman 6239) but I also EDC my rare 3-inch tea cup from the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua Emperor so I have access to sip my yellow gold tea buds in style and elegance.
zippo even empty is a great sparker for starting a fire.
Maxpedition card wallet
Maratac AAA flashlight clipped to a SAK classic
Spyderco Native
Hellcat in a modified MFT kydex holster
Im on 11 and off 3 so my main duty gun is sig tacops 1911 with an x300 and an umnumzaan then the 3 days off ill switch between a springfield garrison, vp9 or p365, sf stilleto and a hinderer xm18
Its always fun to learn about new toys tho. I have plenty of knives and pistols but now I want those specific ones...circle of life I suppose.
OC Spray is highly underrated. A Chuck Haggard says, you need an option between "a harsh word and a gun"
Lighters are cool and they are a conversation piece.
Don’t underestimate a light. I carry the stream light micro stream. As I get older my vision is going to crap. I use it so often to light up restaurant menus and small text, and am constantly dropping stuff between my car seats.
I just got my hands on the eberlestock bando bag and its a godsend during this hot summer weather.
THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !! THIS IS THE EDC CONTENT WE NEED TO SEE
G'day Adam. Great kit you've got there, couldn't fault it but maybe a torniquet & sanitizer would be a great addition yet still be minimalist. We've got that Bumbag (not Fanny Pack) for its conveniences. regular pocket dump on SS guests would be awesome mate. Love the intro where you take out a grenade from the pocket...!! Your humours make the show. Besides the cards, that wallet could be turn into a cozy for the grenade.?! Cheers from Australia.
I don't see how people get by day to day without some sort of multitool. It seems like more and more half the stuff I carry has some sort of fastener on it and being able to repair my stuff is great.
That said, the "odd" thing I do is carry a little bigger wallet (Alpaka Zip for anyone who cares) that fits half of a Leatherman bit kit (mostly just allens and torx bits), bit extender, and a Pocket Wrench II in addition to my cards. I find I forget, lose, or otherwise stop carrying small items I don't need all the time (like a lighter) so having things in a system that stays together is beneficial.
1 I need that jacket!!!
2 snake staff tourniquet, I made a gaffer tape sleev for it too keep the velcro from getting gunked up with lint and such.
3 sog powerpint sometimes. a awesome tiny multitool
4 5-11 skyweight chest rig. Super low vis chest rig I use for hiking and sometimes during winter under a jacket or riding. Can squeeze my 19X into it as well
5 power packs to recharge your devices I've found to be invaluable. I use anker
6 rovyvon Keychain flashlights are super awesome can't say enough good things about them
7 the 5-11 skyweight backpack is super awesome little pack you can keep inside other bags or your car. I use it everyday for my laptop love it
Someone please tell me about this jacket.
The wallet seems cool, is it made using the elastic from mag holders? I'd buy one.
Great video as always! I vote yes on making the wallet!!
I'd recommend a good tac pen. It is completely underrated, but useful nonetheless.
Pocket knife, Trifold wallet so my back hurts when I’m older, surefire edc2 with rechargeable 123s, cash on a clip, g19 in a first gen incog, wrist watch, iPhone, cigar cutter, torch, and the one thing I think Adam should have that he doesn’t, a pen.
i love this format!
mumei spotted
I'd be interested in hearing more about the wallet.
An addition to consider is a TQ. But I don't actually carry one. My EDC is pretty limited.
@SpiritusSystems Adam, which rubber strap is that for your Seadweller, Everest? I have the RubberB in deployant but thinking about changing it out for something with a buckle.
A snakestaff TQ.
