@@Tom-cp6yj sometimes I go out with minimal kit. I would not call all that gear I carry most every day minimalist. It is just not all the "latest and greatest" I have no need to go out and buy all the latest fancy toys. Being someone who can go out with nothing and thrive is definitely worth being proud of. Having all this brand new fancy gear and not knowing how to use it or having never tested it, is nothing to brag about.

Black Scout concealment belt, BSS TAC light V5 flashlight (BTW if anybody knows of a better holster for it, please let me know), M+P Shield .40 with two extra mags., Alien Gear holster, pepper spray (because every situation doesn't require a lethal solution), essential keys only (vehicle keys on a separate ring from all others), wallet, cell phone, reading glasses, analog watch (with a click second hand and a rotating graduated bezel), BIC lighter. Oh yeah, I forgot my Buck folder #286. IMO a great value for a knife.
My EDC is going strong as mostly the same, for several years in a row For open carry (about 60% of the time) S&W m10-5, sitting in a Jackson Leatherworks OWB holster. Three speedloaders in a Safariland rig, either a Buck Selkirk or Buck 119, Buck 110 on the opposite side in it's pouch, and occasionally I'll have a detachable hip pouch that rides 4'o'clock that holds some survival items. For concealed carry( 30-35% of the time) Same gun, in a We The People kydex holster. The three speedloaders get moved to the pocket, by themselves. Buck Selkirk sits under a cover garment, horizontally right at the belt buckle, my absolute favorite way to carry it. The items that are the same, regardless of carry method CRKT Ignitor (all time favorite pocket knife) Olight Baton II, keys with a Leatherman Squirt and Opinel mini, paracord bracelet, lighter, E-tape, wallet, bandana, some odds and ends jewelry and charms, a couple of multi tools (they change often between SAKs and Leathermans) and I always have a jacket or vest with additional items. For the final 10 to 15% of the time its usually a blend of the first two with some odd items thrown in for a specific task, such as a rifle, hatchet, survival kit, backpack, additional ammo, etc.
Great video, I especially like the intro showing the way you carry, that’s something I always take a lot of interest in but most people that show their EDC neglect to show how it’s carried. I usually carry same stuff everyday: -Dan Wesson Guardian with spare mag in neomag holder, wright leather works holster for pistol. Tops mini scandi folder, steamlight microstream, timberland leather wallet, lost Dutchman money pouch, challenge coin, silver dollar, keys.
EDC: Wedding ring, Apple Watch, iPhone, Surefire Stiletto, knife ( I switch often), Kore belt, Garrett Industries STX 2.0 holster, Staccato P with 2 extra magazines and a Dango wallet, Duke Cannon lip balm and car keys.
I carry most of my pistols in shoulder holsters or chest rigs. I carry a flashlight on my key ring and a telescopic box cutter for my knife. And my phone. That's it.
I think a revolver video and some good valid points would be a great idea! A lot of people discredit the revolver - but every tool has it's application and uses!
Nice variety in your EDC. I usually carry the Benchmade Bugout, Swiss Army Ranger 78, O-light S1 Baton, Gerber Impromptu Tactical Pen, Garmin Instinct Solar watch, plus the usual wallet, keys, cell phone. In areas were allowed, Glock 43 with three mags (all mags with the Vickers Tactical +2 extensions installed).
I live in an Constitutional Carry State, but work in a Concealed Only State. My profession requires I wear a suit every day and firearm carry at all is frowned upon if not prohibited, so something unnoticeable is important. Therefore, my “on body” EDC changes depending upon the day and where I am. However, at a very minimum, I always have the following on me, no matter the day or time of year. Wallet Watch (typically an Automatic or at least an Eco Drive) determined by style of clothes or situation. Pen Keys Folding pocket knife (typically a Victorinox SAK) Phone Belt (color and type determined by clothing or accessories) Comfortable shoes (important for numerous reasons) Pistol (typically 2, but at the very least ALWAYS a Beretta 950BS) I always have other items in a bag or in my vehicle, but these items are MUST HAVES and with the exception of the handgun, are actually used on a daily basis.
I liked your video on what you carry for different reason. Could you do a video on how to hide outside the waist band carry. You like in a warmer area of the USA than I, but I would like to understand how you do it in the summer.
I use alot of the same tools as you. Sig P365 EDC, for dress up I carry a Kimber 45. Olight flashlights, Not a big fan of "Off body carry" haven't figured that one out yet. Use a very minimal wallet, and keys.
I’m afraid I carry more, sort of a walking survival kit and toolbox. Because I prefer 5:11 original cargo pants, I can fit a trauma kit and more blades & tools. And years ago, when I downsized from 5” steel 1911 to 4” Kimber Pro Carry, I thought I was going “small.” Maybe one of these days I’ll go down to a truly small 9mm (but not today). I tend to add to, not subtract from, my EDC. I experiment and compare. Comparing a SAK Ranger to a Leatherman WAVE means carrying both. I may finally replace my Al Mar SERE2000 after nearly two decades; experimentation has me leaning toward Ontario RAT 1 with D2 (don’t get Chinese made, Taiwanese is OK). The bottom line is learning what you actually use.
For me I have Seiko 5, Asus rog phone 5, victorinox knife, keys has a usb c flashlight, faro rod and a pill bottle that holds one day of my meds. And I have a card wallet. But it I go to far away from my semi truck I grab my sling bag it has a lot of stuff.
Wallet,.Keys, with Aurora A5.. Phone Sig 365 Ankle carry or IWB 4 o'clock position.. Benchmade Mini Barrage or Bugout.. Olight MIT Raider Leatherman Juice Granite Gray or victorinox Deluxe Tinker.. Chap Stick and Breath Spray.m
its been more than 10 years and I still edc my glock 26…… i guess it has been a full circle thing….. edc’d my 19,17 my 9mm 1911 and a shield +, but here it is 2023 and my 26 is still by my side.
I am a handy man bye trade, an I only carry a multi tool when necessary, If I were to carry one as an edc, it woul be the original Leatherman, my dad gave it to me 30 years ago, an when I did Facilities maintenance I always carried it. Its small, great leather pouch, an on a belt you don't know its there. Thank you for sharing. The EDC world your one of the best. I love down to earth people, people of faith, family an country! Btw, my favorite edc knife is the Spyderco Amalgam, lots of people don't care for it due to the flipper tab, an compression lock. In about ten minutes you learn how to avoid it. Plus it has one of the best tips in the business. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great ideas and options! I carry a standard P365 IWB at 4 o'clock with a 12 rd extended mag, two 12 rd mags IWB at 8 o'clock in a dual carrier. Then an Olight I5t flashlight, pepper spray and a off-brand folding knife/window breaker/seat belt cutter in RH cargo pocket (pocket clips are great). I also carry car, house and other keys with a small light on each ring. And of course a wallet with the *@#$#*% FOID card and CCW that the People's Republic of Illinois demands.
Oh my God I'm going to have to think about how many different variations of my EDC. Like you I change it up constantly. It depends on how I'm dressed and what mood I'm in
@DrSchor SCHOR If I'm wearing a coat, I'm holstered outside the waist band . Usually a full size gun. Right now, I'm at the gym with my S and W 380 inside my gym shorts in a holster. So yes, dress does determine your carry options. By mood I might feel like 45 10mm or just a compact 9. So yes, I was correct on both
I've carried the same items the same way since 2014 and it's perfect for me. No need to change it up, so I'm lucky that way. Dressing up is just a couple of times a year so it's a temporary switch to a small carry purse.
Thank you for your videos! Could you pls share what G Code holster that is? I have been carrying the INCOG a decade ago and in recent year s the Phenom... so happy G Code user, but I gave NOT seen this model and I am very interested! TYVM and keep up the good work!
Trying to find a belt that works well for a chunky guy that wants a fobus holster. I used to have one, but it kept coming off my belt when I drew my pistol
I know not alot of people think about the use of cross draw holsters OK I like them when younger I used them all 5he time and yes you can hide them jackets long Tshirts any long lose item you would normally use for concealed carry will work especially with guns like the Taurus 3x sig 365 standard and XL and Springfield hellcat all make good guns for cross drew so what I think are the best are the Desantis criss cross cross draw holster and Andrews car jack holster now this one when used standing up you mite find you need to twist your wrist very slightly to get a grip on the gun because it is designed for a horizontal draw whilst sitting down the Desantis is angled upwards slightly but when sat down the grip lines up with the top of your leg and the edge of your crotch so is comfortable for car use you can slide it to your hip its up to you but even overweight men can use these holsters with easy and conceale easily and with comfort the Desantis is sixty dollars well worth it and well made oh did I mention its made of leather lol there that should perk your interest
Great Video Don. You are one of the overlords at the Tubes of You my friend, to steal a line from the ARFCOM guys. My EDC is a G-lock baby OWB, MTM watch, Ridge wallet, CIVIVI Pintail Liner Lock Knife, Olight Warrior mini 2 in copper.
The only thing that may vary in my EDC, is the firearm and where it is carried. Pocket knife, flashlight, BIC lighter, and alcohol wipes are always with me. My key fob is an aluminum Kubotan..it can also serve as a flail, if need be.
Its Kinda wild how much of the EXACT gear I have that you carry. That Gold Grand Diver is AWESOME I have it with the mother of Pearl face lol. GREAT VIDEO!
I don't carry anything but a foldable box cutter, my wallet and my phone. I sometimes conceal carry a Taurus g3c but it's rare, mainly when we are in town at night.
My EDC is Kershaw leek or a fixed custom blade, custom leather wallet, leather-man skelotool, kore essentials belt or a outdoor nylon belt, Canik TP9 in there kydex holster and Garmin vivoactive 4s
Just stumbled upon your channel. Enjoyed the content. Benchmade 940 or 945, SAK Cadet, leather wallet, Citizen eco drive field watch, pen and small notebook, keys and phone. I need to jot things down or I forget immediately. No gun.
It really depends on where I am going or doing that day. The one thing that I changed up at the end of last year, and I continue to have on me, no matter where I am going or doing, is a multi tool. Even if I forget my pocket clip folding knife I have a knife in the multi tool so I'm covered. The other thing that I recommend people having for their EDC, is some sort of non-lethal / less lethal self defense item with them. There are many states that a anti-2A states and against firearm ownership, but that doesn't mean you can carry other items to protect you and your family.
@@DrSchor What a strange comment. Why would I wear an item on me that I couldn't use? I ground travel almost every day, and I can't carry certain items (certain type and length of knives and firearms) so YES, it really does depends. If I was in one area 24/7 every day.. sure the items wouldn't change.
Seiko Turtle, grove ring, KeySmart organizer, Victorinox Cadet in ALOX, Fisher Space Pen, stainless nail clipper, Bison Design Last Chance Belt, iPhone, Flossie’s in watch pocket. As for the rest… (;
I tried using the arkfeld as my daily light, is flat and don’t get in the way but is kinda heavy and sags the edge of my pocket so I switched to the i3t eos carbon fiber and I’m loving it! Those flash sales olight have are a steal!
I'm grateful for your explanation! I also carry a P365 XL but I need some knives to switch up with. I have been carrying a Buck Knife for the last couple years.
Glock 23is great. I used to carry mine but I threw a light on it and its my home defense piece now. I carry a Sig P365 Spectre comp or sometimes a Glock 26
I stopped wearing KE belts when the leather housing started to tear away from the backing from basic everyday use. Between that and the company's marketing tactics, I said no more and went with Nexbelt instead. Built stronger, still excellent ratcheting design. Just better.
Another good EDC belt is the polymer-core leather belt by Vedder holsters. I've been wearing it everyday for the last 2-3 years. Great belt. I love it, highly recommended. And it's handcrafted in the USA so when you buy one you know you're supporting a local company and not giving your money to some sweet and sour slave factory.
Thanks Jeff. I still have it in my rotation but the owner made a rant against the unvaccinated that was over the top a couple of years ago and it cooled my jets.
Be careful with the leather holster Sootch. If the leather that covers the trigger guard gets distorted or conforms in a bad way you could be looking at discharging a round into your leg. I know you’re extremely well educated on firearms it’s just that leather holsters for weapons that have no external safety just worry me. Great video!
I love Invicta watches- they have quality watches for good prices and they look very classy. You can also get some crazy designs too if you just wanna have fun!
Great video! I actually just bought an olight arkfeld to test out because of your video. Have you considered carrying a pen? I carry a Vic 4 colored pen either 3 5x7 cards in my back pocket incase I need to jot something down.
The intro showing how you wear the items is the best part. No one shows how they carry their gear but that can be very informative to viewers.
Thanks Brother!

Bersa Thunder 380 plus , a nice pair of Brass Knuckles and my Mag Light Minne and Black Light flashlights . 😁😁😁
I carry the Glock 42 and love the .380 round. I love the Bersa but DA triggers kill my arthritic joints.
Leather holster, nice!
I really appreciate you, brother.
Thanks my friend!
What does your assortment of EDC TQ's look like?
Its Kinda wild how much of the EXACT gear I have that you carry. That Gold Grand Diver is AWESOME I have it with the mother of Pearl face lol. GREAT VIDEO!
Who has a good,good OSW leather holster for a High Power? I've purchased a couple, but they are limp and collapse after I remove the gun.

Hi Sootch00.
Can You Please Do A Video on Your Martial Arts?
Thank You.
Please try Anson concealed carry belt
It's great to see someone on youtube carrying a SOG Powerpint. I got mine cheap on Aliexpress a year ago and have been carrying it since.
I don't carry anything but a foldable box cutter, my wallet and my phone. I sometimes conceal carry a Taurus g3c but it's rare, mainly when we are in town at night.
My winter edc is a ronin 10mm and a hatchet
My EDC is Kershaw leek or a fixed custom blade, custom leather wallet, leather-man skelotool, kore essentials belt or a outdoor nylon belt, Canik TP9 in there kydex holster and Garmin vivoactive 4s
Just stumbled upon your channel. Enjoyed the content. Benchmade 940 or 945, SAK Cadet, leather wallet, Citizen eco drive field watch, pen and small notebook, keys and phone. I need to jot things down or I forget immediately. No gun.
It really depends on where I am going or doing that day. The one thing that I changed up at the end of last year, and I continue to have on me, no matter where I am going or doing, is a multi tool. Even if I forget my pocket clip folding knife I have a knife in the multi tool so I'm covered. The other thing that I recommend people having for their EDC, is some sort of non-lethal / less lethal self defense item with them. There are many states that a anti-2A states and against firearm ownership, but that doesn't mean you can carry other items to protect you and your family.
if what you carry depends, you are not doing edc
@@DrSchor What a strange comment. Why would I wear an item on me that I couldn't use? I ground travel almost every day, and I can't carry certain items (certain type and length of knives and firearms) so YES, it really does depends. If I was in one area 24/7 every day.. sure the items wouldn't change.
Great video and advice; Thank You 🙏
Seiko Turtle, grove ring, KeySmart organizer, Victorinox Cadet in ALOX, Fisher Space Pen, stainless nail clipper, Bison Design Last Chance Belt, iPhone, Flossie’s in watch pocket. As for the rest… (;
I tried using the arkfeld as my daily light, is flat and don’t get in the way but is kinda heavy and sags the edge of my pocket so I switched to the i3t eos carbon fiber and I’m loving it! Those flash sales olight have are a steal!
I'm grateful for your explanation! I also carry a P365 XL but I need some knives to switch up with. I have been carrying a Buck Knife for the last couple years.
why do you need to switch your knife?
Do we know the brand/model of the leather OWB holster for the sig P365..
Thanks in advance
I will be changing my EDC to my new Glock 23 40 cal but I switch off and on between my Taurus and my Sig P365
Glock 23is great. I used to carry mine but I threw a light on it and its my home defense piece now. I carry a Sig P365 Spectre comp or sometimes a Glock 26
What ammo do you carry?
Hornady Critical Duty. I love the performance. Thanks Paul
Pistol, knife, swiss army, lighter, bandana, wallet and keys. Carried in the same manner no matter make and model
I stopped wearing KE belts when the leather housing started to tear away from the backing from basic everyday use. Between that and the company's marketing tactics, I said no more and went with Nexbelt instead. Built stronger, still excellent ratcheting design. Just better.
Hi Sootch00.
Which Styles Of Martial Arts Do You Practice?
Kenpo and Jujitsu now. I studied Shōrin-ryū for years before.
Another good EDC belt is the polymer-core leather belt by Vedder holsters. I've been wearing it everyday for the last 2-3 years. Great belt. I love it, highly recommended. And it's handcrafted in the USA so when you buy one you know you're supporting a local company and not giving your money to some sweet and sour slave factory.
Nice update Don! I was just wondering if you still EDC that NAA Pug from time to time. Just love those
Thanks Jeff. I still have it in my rotation but the owner made a rant against the unvaccinated that was over the top a couple of years ago and it cooled my jets.
if you carry something from time to time, it is not EDC, by definition
Wish scootch would post that video again of him doing all those NDs and shooting his truck up. Great stuff, seriously.
I've been watching Sootch for YEARS! How am I only now finding this Channel???
That how I need to dress, when I ride the New York City subways lol.
Be careful with the leather holster Sootch. If the leather that covers the trigger guard gets distorted or conforms in a bad way you could be looking at discharging a round into your leg. I know you’re extremely well educated on firearms it’s just that leather holsters for weapons that have no external safety just worry me. Great video!
Excellent informative video , real approach and very concise ! We appreciate you brother , stay safe !
Scooch, love your content. Been watching for years! 😉
I love Invicta watches- they have quality watches for good prices and they look very classy. You can also get some crazy designs too if you just wanna have fun!
edc is serious
Have you met nutn in person???
Great video! I actually just bought an olight arkfeld to test out because of your video. Have you considered carrying a pen? I carry a Vic 4 colored pen either 3 5x7 cards in my back pocket incase I need to jot something down.
Would you happen to have a Tango Yankee code?
Do you feel you could run and bend with your OWB holsters and the weapon feel good and secure?
Have you looked into the glock 48 with the shield arms mags? It gives you 15 rounds and it's so much thinner
when are you going to need 15 rounds?
@DrSchor SCHOR well if that's your logic why carry a spare magazine? The more rounds in your magazine the less chance of having to reload At all.
I believe it was Bear from Bear Indepedence that said a firearm is like a parachute. If you need it and don't have it, You'll never need it again
Wow it's about time someone showed some GOOD OLD FASHIONED LEATHER
Most everyone carries the same , I have no options to vary with the exception of pocket knife which I change if the current one is becoming dull !
two words: knife sharpener
