As someone who's a flashoholic, knife enthusiast, and CNC-operator as well as an overall tech-geek, a lot of this feels a bit like trying to sell things to people who want to be those things but aren't really that into it. It feels like trying to sell by buzzwords without understanding the actual use of the tools at hand.
The watch is funny though because it has an extremely niche market for basement dwellers. For most people if they can’t tell if it’s day or not they have bigger issues at the moment.
Had this playing in the background without really paying attention, the random $2000+ watch thrown in exposed this to me and I then scrolled down to find this comment. Totally agree.
Doesn't matter, all the video editing audio editing draws people on, even if the channel/person has no clue about the stuff. There's EDC channels that are all video/audio/edit and know nothing about tools/gear
If you adjust the volume of your device and start the video over, you'll quickly realize the channel narrator explains the purpose of the video right away. Try it now- go!
It's funny how many "everyday carry" collections are actually just clutter and gadgets that you dont fuckin need lmao. And a lot of these guys have a ton of each of these gadgets. The exact opposite of minimalist EDC really 😂
I've always thought this and it baffles me how much people buy into this stuff. This is neat to have in your room or in a cupboard, which most people do, rather than carrying it all day. I carry this metal credit card shaped multitool in my wallet and one knife, a small flashlight on my keychain and that's it. EDC for me is my firearm honestly. Other trinkets are just clutter.
Honestly all around love all your choices personal hot take when it comes to James Brand the price does not equate to the actual value there's so much out there that's better it's either equal or lesser price. It's like a knife company that's made and geared towards people that don't understand the knife community but have the money to spend like a knife person
You did not show us the popping sound of the pen? Or what about the "ting" of the Winter Blade Co. Factor? Heck, you did not even show arguably the coolest feature of the Factor, the flip lever!
I would love to go back to using a dumb phone, but a lot of them don't have good battery life. If I could get 3 or 4 days without charging a dumb phone I would get one asap.
The problem with the phone is that it needs Google maps. Or some kind of map app. Everything else is optional and is or can be a distraction, but you need maps. If you’re gonna grab a device and leave the house and you know you’re just going to 711 or something then that’s finebut eventually you’re gonna need a map. I use maps quite often and if it had maps that would be much better.
13:50 you can literally just buy some classic dumb Nokia for the fraction of the price. And in terms of edc and reliability (and style too) it can be just as good. It's not only 3310 look alikes, they have a lot of minimalistic thin lightweight dumbphones for dirt cheap. Like I can't really see any possible reason to prefer the one you suggested here to good old Nokia. Even if you really try to make one up. Literally no reason besides "I really like the design and willing to spend money on it"
Do you want to buy and play with toys, but you don't want people staring and making fun of you? Then buy these things. Replace everyday items with expensive toys!
11:20 Come on, no way. This watch is unusual, but I think it's too minimalist. You would absolutely need to pull out your phone to check the exact time in many situations.
I DO NOT recommend the Punkt MP02 as your main phone. Buyers beware! Its awful. Buttons sometimes fail to register even when you feel and hear the tactile action. Software is very limited and with LOTS of stupid bugs and shortcomings, for example timer app registers button action when de-pressing a button, not when it's initially pressed, which makes it useless for precise time measurement. Overall the user experience is very frustrating, when you actually want to just use the device as advertised, even when only texting and calling people it falls short and going back to a smartphone for these basic features was a relief.
The other products in this lineup are relatively inoffensive, but that flashlight is an absolute piece of shit if it costs any more than $20... The lens extends past the top bezel so it would likely shatter very quickly, the faux leather lanyard tie point will disintegrate or expand and slip off within months, the switch is tiny, and I wouldn't trust that silicone charging port cover, they can work quite well, but not like that. Not to mention, TWO brightness settings with a maximum output of 150 lumens is embarrassing for an 18650 flashlight. That's a shelf piece, not a tool. If you want a good flashlight, check out Wurkkos, Convoy, Emisar, and Firefly Outdoor for more feature-rich lights at prices that make sense.
Buy Japanese auto watches for reliability all other products are useless even that cool lighter just carry bic mini and carry torch that uses common batteries like aa& aaa the new LED MAGLITE SOLITARE IS THE TICKET made in USA
What's with the obsession with the word "idiosyncratic" in this video? Lol. Did a high schooler that just learned a new "fancy" word write this script, or an AI? I don't mean to be more rude than that, but I'm personally not keen on the new narration voice. I've come to appreciate the deep, calm OG tone and intonation. This narrator just sort of felt... like a generic "top 10 products" voice. It's fine, but I'm not sure it's ideal for a channel that sort of relies on the distinctive voice of the narrator more than a face.
This is just a 15min ad of mediocre products you got paid to shill. And i can't believe a channel with nearly 100k subs has such shitty audio. Don't trust this channel.
1. box cutter
2. pen with a ruler
3. key?
4. flashlight

9. compass

11. phone

Yup I'm taking all that with me to get groceries

You literally summarized this whole channel pal

Who said anything about minimalist???
The channel is called High Consumption. What did you expect?
I've always thought this and it baffles me how much people buy into this stuff. This is neat to have in your room or in a cupboard, which most people do, rather than carrying it all day. I carry this metal credit card shaped multitool in my wallet and one knife, a small flashlight on my keychain and that's it. EDC for me is my firearm honestly. Other trinkets are just clutter.
I have to add that the flashlight is super small and like the size of a quarter basically. lol
He's displaying options. Nobody is saying you have to carry any of these. If you want minimalist, carry 1 key and shut up.
That thumb is insane.
take a shot every time this man says idiosyncratic
every time he uses the word incorrectly
Or ' tolerance '
"Key chain friendly flashlight" 😂 pushing it there a little mate.
3:07 Not showing us the popping sound is criminal

Wtf is the utility of the key?
Beauty 😂
$270 key tho 😂
Yeah, I absolutely love their designs, but regrettably, they're extremely expensive.
Not worth it at all
For real! Was hoping it would be like $49 because I would actually love to have it, but noooo way would I spend that much.
Not the voice I was expecting
Same 😢
We need that guy back 😢
That guys voice was like a soviet skoda
Probably AI. The way he said L-I-ON ...
Ya, it’s a bit idiosyncratic.
Too fancy and expensive for my taste. Most of them feel gimmicky. Hard pass on all of them.
The flashlight looks more pocket than keychain. But I really like the vintage, Braun style and brass.
“Keeps smells inside in case you happen to be carrying a certain type of herb”. Lol.
Aha, tell this to a street dog...
Better get my compass out if shtf in my home city I've lived in for many years! 😂
The vault is cool idea, make another half it's size.
I was unimpressed with the James blade until i saw the quick blade change trick. THAT is freaking cool!
On the Winterblade, you didn’t show off the blade opening pushing the carbon back!? THAT is the Best part 😅
Good luck getting your hands on a factor b3 anytime soon tho lmao - I just picked up the factor 8ight and it sold out in 12 minutes
Like it. Actually, it’s it’s not only interesting, but also really relaxing. But ngl old voice was better. Wish it would be back😊
Either this voice is AI or the person has no idea about EDC
@@edwardfletcher7790the person has no idea about edc? Because of his voice? Were you born with less than average brain cells?
Cool
9:44 "a lot of people dont realize this but you can put your weed in there"
7:33 are those blisters 😂😂😂damn
You did not show us the popping sound of the pen? Or what about the "ting" of the Winter Blade Co. Factor? Heck, you did not even show arguably the coolest feature of the Factor, the flip lever!
Knife, flashlight, lighter. All you need for edc
I would love to go back to using a dumb phone, but a lot of them don't have good battery life. If I could get 3 or 4 days without charging a dumb phone I would get one asap.
That safe can be bypassed so easily by chucking it at a wall
Good list, I love the return of the Douglass lighter
🙌🙌🙌
Cool. Great channel 🎉
For the James boxcutter, I hate how it only exposes a small portion of the utility blade...
the watch look like Braun design, from Germany. simple enough, but still catch your eye
The problem with the phone is that it needs Google maps. Or some kind of map app. Everything else is optional and is or can be a distraction, but you need maps.

Not sure I’d use that mini safe with a watch. The magnetism may mess up your watch…
The "handle" of a key is called the bow
I really like this topic, the knowledge in this video is so helpful. Everyone should watch it to understand the issue better
3:02 those are hands that can dead lift or lifting heavy weight 👍🏼
I guess they're unusual for a reason.
Do you want to buy and play with toys, but you don't want people staring and making fun of you?
Then buy these things. Replace everyday items with expensive toys!
Hello, J’aurais rajouter le MONDO Freestyle On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones Transparent a cette belle liste qui donne envie par 4 articles pour moi 😅
A DIFFERENT VOICE?? I'm not prepared for change.
that lock box would be really good for drugs, nobody would think its drugs
"If you happen to be carrying a certain type of herb"...
i dont get the reasoning behind the key, really!
For 2.4 grand you could get a much nicer watch with a much nicer movement, and 600-700 bucks is not worth it on a quartz watch
I thought it was EDC dance edm. I thought why is this guy bringing a knife there
you should change out the tesla card from the wallet, it makes it seem like the wallet is made by tesla
damn, all those fancy gadgets but nothing useful or easy to carry
Bro showed us every single thing that is not worth your money.
Love the phone 🎉
11:20 Come on, no way. This watch is unusual, but I think it's too minimalist. You would absolutely need to pull out your phone to check the exact time in many situations.
Oh hheeeellll noooo. It costs $2,438 as well.
0:32 Tf is idiosyncratic 😭😭😭
Idiosyncratic basically means "uniquely quirky"
I DO NOT recommend the Punkt MP02 as your main phone. Buyers beware!

Every single one of these things are at least twice what they should cost, some are quadruple.

Did you just say “TJB” when “The James Brand” is also 3 syllables 😂 bruh
Hmmmm I want the old be roll back. I mean Ill take the old voice back too.
The watch wouldn't be that great at navigating, surely.
HALO: the knife
$200 for a pen???!
I might have bought one for $15.
@ incredible. I can only hope I’m as lucky lol
nee-oh-DI-mee-um
Cool
I just stumbled upon this channel and man does it scream soyboy consumerism
Alright man
Beautiful items but not for there assnine prices.
That lighter was sick tho
Overpriced trash
Buy Japanese auto watches for reliability all other products are useless even that cool lighter just carry bic mini and carry torch that uses common batteries like aa& aaa the new LED MAGLITE SOLITARE IS THE TICKET made in USA
some of these are so tacky and unnecesary
The phone costs way too much
Gives us a knife to buy that’s sold out!
mehhh... but damnnn ur great making videos

Ffs... Was 'Idiosyncratic' the word of the day or something?
This is just a 15min ad of mediocre products you got paid to shill.

Don't trust this channel.
Какое то дерьмо за оверпрайс с понтами. Этотсделано в сша, а это крутым дизайнером... бла-бла-бла😂 да это нах никому не нужно.
Mais c est de la merde comme dirait l'autre
That piece of crap watch us not worth any of our money 😂
That knife was hideous
tone deaf…
