Replying to Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. This is not just for me as the creator, it is a valuable source of information for all readers of the comments. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! So my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live for the first few hours at least, and beyond that when possible. I'll see how that works out 😊

If anyone is having trouble viewing this there appears to be an issue the the standard definition render but 4K seems to be fine - we are trying to get this resolved 😬
Hi Jon, just some feedback for the edit.
When you're doing these sorts of lists it would be really helpful to put the product make/name/model back up on the screen as an overlay again for the last 5 seconds of the end of the segment before you move onto the next. It saves us rewinding once you've sold us on yet another handy item :)
Tip for travelling with soap and shampoo bars…if you are not going long and want to reduce weight and size, cut the bar down to either a thinner or smaller size.
That's what I do too! Plus I got a bar that is a combo soap and shampoo, so I only have the one.
Really enjoy your channel for loads of great EDC and prepper ideas. Keep up the great work Jon!
Mystery question of life: Why doesn’t every viewer check the like button? It takes no time at all. It’s free. And it is a little thank you for the creator of the video you just watched. I like every video I watch.
Thank you
Finally, useful stuff that make things easier. Seriously lots of this stuff are necessary and not just trash. Tools can make a difference in so many cases
Awsome! Not just the items but also the way you present them and the info you provide in the description. Thanks!
Fabulous list of really useful light compact travel accessories thank you
Good to her from a man who understands a towel is about the most massively useful thing an traveler can have.
I have the first bag you showed. Bought it twice. Love it.
Well Jon that torch / flashlight is a little beauty. I won a few at a Trade Show & ended up ordering a few more. I added them to my keys & have used mine a few times. Very Robust & great quality.
Really enjoyed this video. All of these items really useful for minimal travel. Thank you.
Some great ideas in your video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Much appreciated and a BIG thumbs up.
Timely for holiday wish lists, thanks.
I find a regular "Parker" gel refill makes an excellent tiny pen for wallet or mini note book.
Well thanks Jon. I was doing good not buying things today but your video made me do it. Such good deals. Thanks.
This guy loves writing in the rain.
WOW! Great reviews of gear that doesn't break the bank! Your use cases are spot on, Thank you!
thanks for this jon, lots of other channels tend to hyperfocus on very unique, bespoke pieces that are often very expensive for the average gadgeteer. keep on rockin!
Great list Jon. I’ve got a few of those bits already. Just on the Heroclip. My Dad went to Peru earlier this year and borrowed my Heroclip. Said it came in SO handy for hanging his backpack whilst on the Machu Picchi trail; keeping it off the wet floor etc. I’m surprised I got it back 😅
great to hear 👍
Great tools. I definitiv buy some of them soon. Thanks for the video. 🎄
The lightning port on the incharge cable also doubles as a micro USB. It blew my mind the first time I tried it. Didn't think it'd slide in much less actually work but as advertised it works.
$30?!?
Incredibly usefull. Thank you, Jon!
Such a useful video. Had a few stuff already but got to know a lot more. Cheers!
Love your work, Jon!!!!!!
Already got the sling and would highly recommend it
Lots of info / second, with no "fluff"! Thanks for posting. 👍
Nice, this was what I needed. Thx a bunch.!
First time I have come across one of your videos. You have a lot of interesting kit I was not aware of. Thank you for the video. 👍🏻
Great content ! Well done and good choice !
Gosh, what an exceptional and highly useful video! Thank you good sir!
What a great video and review of each item!!!!
Outstanding products. Thank you for sharing. I have subscribed.
I use a Ziploc bag for EVERYTHING: sandwich bags, 1 gallon bags etc.
great list thank you!
I have the S-biner for holding an Olight 1R2 torch and the smallest Swiss Army Knife on my key ring - ideal for unlocking and unclipping them if I need to use them away from the keys! 👍
Great picks! Thanks.
Great stuff Jon, loved your presentation, you sure make it fun and easily watchable‼️🐾😁. Thanks!
Thanks Annie
Thank you. We love these products reviews and recommendations. Keep the videos coming. 💯🔥🙌✊👍🙏
You can also get travel sheets of soap depending on how much soap you need (I used to buy those when traveling in Asia as many bathrooms didn't have soap among other things).
Great video. Covered loads of products. Cheers
The display of them all at 9:48 was a nice touch!
Thanks for all the great Christmas gift ideas - to get for myself. 😎
You're welcome 😊
Often seen your videos, got some very nice hints, and must confess, I ordered several things, also based on this one. I really love your explanations and very useful recommendations. Thanks a lot, please go on!
Thanks for the kind feedback
Great upload. Some very useful gear in here 👍👍
the locking carabiner is also useful for the zipper on the sling bag. helps prevent pick pockets.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!! I have purchased everything for X’mas for my son!😃
All great choices.
Today I discovered the magnetic utensils and you convinced me about the matador soap toiletry bag. Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Jon ! Une bise de Paris
Useful, thanks!
Happy Thursday Jon & wishing all American readers on here a happy Thanksgiving. I buy a fair number of goods on Amazon because they reliable but usually are not competitive on prices
Happy holidays! Steve 👍
Interesting and fun as always, thx for sharing!
Thanks for watching 👍
hahaha, I love random serendipity. I am sitting here watching youtube while working on something and have a Clear-body Tombow Airpress in my hand just clicking away while I fidget-think. Look over at the video and there is the Airpress! That made my brain skip a beat.
Good stuff. I like the hero clip. I may get one of those.
Another great video! Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching 👍
Excellent vid, thank you so very much. Blessings my Friend.
Jon I believe this is your best list so far. Excellent selection great price and buying on black Friday just makes it even better! Enjoy your channel. Thank You
Lots of useful items. Hero clips are the hero of any edc
I was homeless for a time, years ago , and ya EDC equipment was absolutely essential...funny now it's become a fad, me now I live in a home, have a years supply of food, plenty of mercury dimes for SHTF, and still EDC, plent of items, caribener clips are absolutely essential along with a good pocket knife, a chain wallet is extremely underrated, also flashlights are a must, also wear a silver necklace or bracelet...if your ever in a jam you can trade it for a few gallons of gas or a meal or something...be safe and GL!
Excellent video. Useful and affordable products and where to find info upfront. Full but concise description. Thank you.
thanks for watching
That's amazing!
Love this man’s EDC style. Very sophisticated and crisp. 🫡
Thank you 🙏
Like the locking carabiner clip, had the same issue with twist unlocking. The Alox scales look classic on these knives
Thanks for sharing 👍
This is literally my first video I’m watching and I subscribed before even watching the video! Channel already seems like it’s FANTASTIC
Wow! Thank you and welcome to the channel 👍
Awesome stuff Jon. Have you tried the EDC-XS Utility pouch by limitless equipment? A great pouch, with great features from a UK survival company. It's my new preferred pouch option.
Does it come in black? - Bruce Wayne
Moving to NZ soon this is very helpful
Great stuff, just ordered the Resqme double pack, Thanks for a great vid, cheers
You're welcome 👍
I'd recommend getting the Victorinox Cadet instead of the Bantam. It has a second layer with the standard bottle opener and can opener, plus a nail file and a key ring. It's much more versatile.
Another option is the Victorinox Signature Lite.
Fantastic list! Just bought a few of them as I go away to Canada this year. The matador soap cases aren't available now, but I've got two similar ones that will do the trick. Now you'll have to let us know what soap you use to shine your noggin, as I too live with a smooth dome.
Hey! Where have you been? This set of suggestions is WAAAY above average for this type of TH-cam video. Excellent work!
Good stuff. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank God for you - that carabiner clip that can let you hang a bag from a table is something I've been looking for - I think for years. Saw a girlie version for hangbags but (a) it had glittery bits and (b) would 100% snap under the weight of my laptop bag. I saw someone mention that idea in a personal security video years ago, he even went a step further in keeping his bag tied to his belt with a detachable cable and a super-strong paracord of some sort. I'm quite interested in doing this with a more subtle belt arrangement of having a clip under my belt and chords coming from that to attach torch and knife, perhaps a folio of other gear too. Those zip folders are ok but I find them too big and increase volume far too much (thinking suit pocket here). Have you ever come across a thin and more subtle design like a leather folding wallet design that is long and has say elasticised sections for holding gear inside?
Also have you ever seen or used the Lamy Pico extending pen? I have used one for a decade and the main risk with it is register staff not wanting to give it back, they are all intrigued by it. I'd say it's roughly Fischer Space Pen length and click-extends to regular length; barrel thickness is akin to some mid-sized fountain pens (standard ballpen refill). Probably not as elegant as your thin one here but that is hard for some people to use with bigger fingers.
I like that key smart nano clip but after following your link and searching I couldn’t find it. But great video!!
A simple carabiner with a loop of string or rope works just as well as that hero-clip, just needs some improvising and preparation but that's exactly the way I'd like to roll.
Thank you , enjoyable don’t know why , well I do but you know what I mean …. So enjoyable it’s relaxing and therapy to watch. Great ideas too . 👍👏
Thanks Sassy 👍
Great - and useful - episode!
Glad it was helpful!
What a great list.
Excellent... regards from Athens Greece..
Cool video thanks.
Boom. Lovely list.
Really good subject!
Thanks Dom 👍
Best EDC video ever!
Great stuff mate. Pity we can't get Amazon easily here in NZ. Keep up the great work as very informative.
Great video 👍
Great video.
Love my Tom Toc sling bag, great for the price compared to similar slings.
👍
Detailed, Concise & informative!
Very good indeed, some things a little pricy, but that’s not your fault!
DG
I'll have the lot, thank you!
5:04 There's a locking version‽ I've used the non-locking version for a few years, but I have to use two in combination on my keys because of how easily they drop my keys.
Great video!
Thanks!
Another Amazon find is a flashlight with power bank functionality. The best I’ve seen so far is the Sofirn SP33S Powerful Torch 5000 Lumen but I’m really looking for a flashlight that uses the 18650 battery for a more compact solution. Thanks for the great videos
Thanks for sharing
Hi love your videos
Nice to the point, informative video. You just gained a subscriber.
That’s great to hear. Welcome to the channel 🙏
Osprey do a great see threw toiletry bag for £10. Been using it for years when travelling abroad with no issues.
Very informative video (thanks), and I ordered the Osprey ultralight bag, which I’m delighted with - amazing how small it folds up, so very convenient for travel etc. I’ve since noticed there is a “Amazons Basics“ copycat alternative, which is slightly bigger and also includes a front pocket, for nearly 1/3 of the price, so I’ve ordered that as well and will compare when it arrives.
Just wondering how the Amazon basics went
@@pognub6097 really pleased with it, I’ve used it a couple of times. Folded down it’s bigger than the one in the video (which I initially bought….and sent back) but the Amazon Basics is MUCH cheaper and has more features.
@@WatchDSSID thank you, might get one as well
Hey Peter - any chance you could drop the link?
I love the Victorinox Bantam Alox, carry one for years now. I think it's really under-appreciated by the EDC folks. I'm actually gathering a micro urban EDC based on your videos and the Bantam will be the blade on that kit.
I like the bantams cousin the waiter. The corkscrew can hold a small screwdriver and helps with knots. I just got a bantam and will be putting in rotation soon
Good segment! Make it a regular feature !
i wish more bags had bright material on the inside, makes finsing things so much easier. i have used bright colored duct tape to line small pouches.
The Olight is the “i1R2 Pro”, which is the second generation of the “i1R2”, with the R designation in the name signifying that it’s rechargeable.
Before the Pro and its predecessor, there was the original “i1R”.
Don’t forget to include the lower case “i” at the start of the product name in order to identify it correctly.
Thanks for that
Good work sir
good video and great tips. Thank you. you convinced me to take one more foray into the amazon after a long Black Friday weekend.. I will be broke if you don't stop showing the coolest gadgets.
😊👍
