I've seen many people carrying the lighter with duct tape. I stumbled upon the fact that a regular bic lighter will fit both a wrap of duct tape and a wrap of electrical tape side by side (or stacked depending on how you're looking at it) I put the duct tape to where it fits flush with the top of the plastic on the lighter. Then the electrical tape will fit at the bottom. It's been helpful more than a few times over the last year and a half.
Pretty much what I learned to carry off duty. When I go hiking, my edc pack is different, when I go downtown, its different. Great video. Super simple.
I bought the Eberlestock Bando recently and wanted to love it but… it was just a touch too small to carry my G19 w/ RMR and I didn’t like not having a quick reaction pull tab!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love the wallet and that style. I just wish someone made one where the bills can just fold in half. I don’t want an origami project to get money in and out
I've had an issue where the gun compartment zippers work their way open if I run the zippers off to the side. I've only been able to run them center. I don't think the storage pockets are overly packed either.
Something that got me by surprise was no spray weapon. Some people think oc/cs/cn sprays are in the women's category, but it between talk and gun, there is spray.
Gatorz are cool, I have 3 pair. I carry a folding Spyderco knife, small Olight flashlight, Kore belt or Hanks leather belt. Glock19 MOS with Holoson 507C, POM pepper spray , spare mag .
Another thing you should do is remove the pull tab on the other zipper so you only pull on the one you want to open and not accidentally pull both in a stressful situation.
Can’t say enough about testing the gear. Back in my ultra marathon days I decided to start carrying a water pack. Bought it a couple days before the event and never used it. It was so annoying less than 3 miles in that I ditched it and relied on aid stations that were few and far between.
Good video. The only thing I’m surprised to see you don’t carry is a pepper spray of any kind. I think everyone should carry an OC spray whether they have a firearm or not. It can be a lifesaving tool for some before you ever use your firearm. A pepper spray and flashlight are on me at all times as well as most of your tools. Like you said though, everyone has their own preference. Good job on the video.
Former combat medic here. Not a fan of the RATS TQ at all. It's not approved by CoTCCC for use. The band is too narrow and can cause tissue damage. Also since it doesn't have a windlass, it's hard to retighten if the need arises.

Get rid of the rat TQ. They've been proven to not work well, and fail during patient movement. For concealability, I would switch to the SOF-T. It folds up much flatter than a CAT-7 does, and it is easily hidden in pockets.
The SOF-T is a phenomenal tourniquet and probably my favorite especially for ppl trapped in vehicles. However the rat is easily concealed and can obtain occlusion on limbs of any size ie kids. I carried SOF-Ts and CATs in my old job and still carry a bag full of each for my current job. But I’m not needing to CASEVAC anyone out of Afghan anymore or something where I’m so focused on the patient movement part. The EDC mission for me is to stop the bleeding until a higher echelon of care arrives. If you put it on right the rat does just fine for me.
A Rat TQ is okay for civilian use because IF applied right it will occlude and it works on animals and children. Also in most scenarios the first responders will actually change the tourniquet to ensure it is applied correctly and is needed. Now do I recommend it as the best? No, personally I recommend the Snakestaff systems TQ’s.
You should consider the everyday carry tourniquet wide by Snakestaff Systems. Small CAT style but not TCCC approved yet. But the Rats tq is awful there’s been extensive research that shows it’s better than nothing but only sometimes

Sorry couldn't watch the video I can't stand background music, its completely unnecessary and annoying when you're trying to concentrate on what's being said.
I’ll tell ya this. I couldn’t make a 2 minute long video on what I carry. Gun knife wallet phone, occasional chapstick, I doubt people are neeeeeding prybars, lanyards and beads on everything, challenge coins, everybody’s “hanks” are clean and only used for Instagram pics. Most people have these super steel knives and only use them to open letters and packages, it’s actually ridiculous how many people are carrying 15 different things in their pockets and don’t use them. People get caught up in their fancy Instagram carry and don’t use most of it. I carry what I need everyday, with the exception of the gun, which I hope to not need, but still carry. I certainly don’t want to fill all of pockets so much that I also need to carry a sling bag and a backpack everywhere.

Great content man! Just a suggestion from a video standpoint. You might consider changing your background or your clothes to something lighter. That way you don’t disappear into the background and it will show more depth. Hope that’s helpful but keep up the good videos!
Great tip I’ll take it! Haha I’m new to this so I appreciate that input man!
@@TheJohnLeMar Absolutely keep it up! I watched your first video and you’ve got a great mission.
@@dereks.5416 great to hear I appreciate the support man!
👀 is it a pocket dump if it’s in a bag? I personally consider pocket dumps what’s in my pants or just on my person but if I have it in a fanny of chest pack it’s just edc loadout i guess😂
@@keysersoze1537 I empty my pockets too but sure call the nutruck load out what you want haha
Which comp do you have on your Glock 48?
It’s the Griffin Arms comp!
What barrel do you have in the 48?
here is a link to the barrel! It's made by Backup Tactical. A buddy recommended it to me, and it's done fine for me although the coating on the top did catch the slide for a few mags until it wore in but know works great.

Solid video, thanks

What brand of watch band is that?

Here’s the one I got to try
Any particular 3 o’clock holster you like?
I’m currently running a T1C and I really like it. What’s your go to?
@@TheJohnLeMar I was running a generic one that was okay, but just ordered a T1C…

So do you wear two shirts when it’s 110° outside in the middle of July and August?
@@36surferjoe this was filmed in spring surferjoe. I’m rocking two shirts because I’m lifting up one to display the belt and I choose to be modest. Even if I did, so what
What holster do you run for your 48 mos?
Here is a link! It's the T1C Axis Elite. I had it custom made to my gun. I tried carrying it appendix like designed but have been trying it at 4 o'clock without the spare mag. www.tier1concealed.com/collections/iwb-holsters/products/axis-elite?variant=17963595235399
@@TheJohnLeMar do you prefer strong side carry over appendix?
@@Matthewdennis1 Hey Matthew! My personal belief is that appendix is the tactically superior option being accessible to both hands if you get wrapped up and it’s very fast, however that being said for me, I like strong side. For me, strong side is more comfortable in many different ways, and I’ve trained to go strong side for 15 years, so even though I like appendix, I personally carry strong side myself.
What do you prefer?
@@TheJohnLeMarI am still trying to figure out which is better for me I can’t seem to get use to either one they both feel uncomfortable to me I think I just need to give it more time I ordered a tier 1 strong side holster to see how that is
@@Matthewdennis1 that’s good you’re trying different things to see what works for you. It may take time trying different size and brands of pistols and/or holsters to find something comfortable that wont overburden you. Sounds like you’re on the right track by being open minded.
Sorry couldn't watch the video I can't stand background music, its completely unnecessary and annoying when you're trying to concentrate on what's being said.
@@marko9912 appreciate the feedback
@marko9912 Have u tried changing your tampon before clicking on a video?
@@TJVail I don't understand the comment

Practical and sensible. Question, what shirt is that? I like that it has a spot for your shades!
I appreciate it! It’s made by Pancho outdoors. They’re awesome!
Great video!
I appreciate the support!
Waa curious about your holster??
Phones, keys, wallet, gun ✅
Really cool video John, which case are you using?
Hey man I appreciate it! I’m sorry which case are you referring to?
I appreciate it man! I’m sorry which case are you referring to?
@@TheJohnLeMar sorry! My bad, I was referring to your phone case :)
@@ivansilvas no worries it’s just a basic itskins case for now! I’ll be upgrading to one with a battery bank soon
Solid EDC.
Good stuff
Checa el EDC de Ed Calderón !!
I’ll tell ya this. I couldn’t make a 2 minute long video on what I carry. Gun knife wallet phone, occasional chapstick, I doubt people are neeeeeding prybars, lanyards and beads on everything, challenge coins, everybody’s “hanks” are clean and only used for Instagram pics. Most people have these super steel knives and only use them to open letters and packages, it’s actually ridiculous how many people are carrying 15 different things in their pockets and don’t use them. People get caught up in their fancy Instagram carry and don’t use most of it. I carry what I need everyday, with the exception of the gun, which I hope to not need, but still carry. I certainly don’t want to fill all of pockets so much that I also need to carry a sling bag and a backpack everywhere.
La Glock está impresionante todo lo equipado que la tienes es impresionante.
@@christianwehr9574 ¡muchas gracias!
Solid vid 👍
I appreciate the support!
Great video. Thank you
@@jamesa4958 of course I appreciate it!
If you want to carry a g19 carry a g19 not a glock with aftermarket parts I only trust factory mags I've had other mags fail
Cool then carry that if it works for you
Legit video!
Thank you for making a actually useful edc not one with a bunch of “ tati-cool” bs
I appreciate the support!
What’s up with everyone carrying unreliable shield mags that have barely been tested
Cool then don’t carry them
@@TheJohnLeMar that doesn't answer my question. If anything sounds like ur being paid to promote a faulty product. Well done
