    I love your perspective on edc and you’re one of the few people I’ve found myself aligning most closely to with my carry. Not for defense but being prepared for what might come throughout the day. Thanks for making videos!
  • @IBkochman
    One of my most used EDC items is a bandana. I can use it as a hanky, a napkin, a sweat rag, a hair tie, etc. Having a bit of cloth is just so versatile, it is something I actually use every day and I've never seen it on EDC youtube.
  • @annissim4
    Absolutely agree with your take on EDC. First and foremost it's important to actually enjoy carrying your gear! Love your vids!
  • @GrandChamp1992
    Recently gone down the rabbit hole of EDC and have found your content the best to view. Keep up the good work
  • @AlwaysL8FK8
    I appreciate this video even though we’ve seen most of these items in your videos already. I relate to what you carry and why so much. Your content is always informative and refreshing.
  • I like your definition of EDC. I have always been of the thought that everyone has an EDC, whether we think about it in those terms or not. We all have routines that require tools. For most people those tools are keys, a phone and a wallet but when we are more conscious about what we carry on our person daily tasks become more convenient. That’s is why everyone’s EDC (and their definition of it) will be different.
  • @dovercube
    Watching this channel grow and grow is super exciting. Seeing your opinions on optimizing your work flow based on the gear you carry is very informative.
  • @pamlucchino4878
    Thank you for the video! I loved it! Your EDC is perfect for you just as it should be. Continue making ton this I really enjoy them.
  • @theONEwatches713
    First step is ask yourself do I need a bulletproof pen and a pocket knife made from rare Valyrian steel? Yes, yes you do.
  • @Leoparh
    Can't agree more on the watch. Depending on what i choose for the day, it makes me embody who I want to be. It's also like that bracelet of yours ; brings good memories, reminds you of some places or objectives.
  • @ELEDAN7455
    Awesome content love your edc always great to see what others carry.
  • @ayushroy0885
    I love that part, how you appreciate your love for that simplistic ROLEX. I am too an Analog watch lover.
  • Hey, Marcus! I agree with your definition of EDC, though my personal gear choices are very different. Always enjoy your videos.
  • @user-iw2cj3me1p
    Great video EDC is an individual thing that makes sense to you, love your work 👍
  • @MrTazerjoe
    Great video sir. I love your content. EDC (in my opinion) means different things for different people. To each their own. Your EDC for what you do in your lifestyle looks pretty amazing. Keep up the good content. Big fan of your channel.
  • Hey Marcus, great video! You were spot on about the hate! I think EDC is a set of ideals of what you carry- keys, wallet, watch, pen, tools & phone, the fun part is fitting them around your life! I always have a pan, paper, a cutting edge (be it a tool or even just a scissors) that is NOT a knife blade to go with the essentials. I love a torch if i am out or likely to be out after dark & I do like a high lumen or strobe setting as a security blanket. One point, even a SAK can cause issues, legally in Ireland, its the interpretation of the individual Garda as to the reasonableness of the excuse for having possession of any bladed object or tool; the jet setter is great for a key chain option but unless you design a Roxon Flex with out a blade or can remove the blade from whatever multitool you want to carry you are at the whim of a Garda. Keep up the great videos
  • A wonderfully personal EDC discussion. A few tips: JetPens offers all things stationary (paper, pens) with special emphasis on Japanese products. Midori (excellent Japanese paper) offers very nice compact notebooks in A6, one of which includes a 14 month monthly calendar. Dark Sucks still sells the Prometheus pen sized flashlights. Very pricey, but there are other options. Lastly Big Skinny sells very functional, compact wallets in nylon or leather. I use a dual-currency model which fits my front pocket. Thanks.
  • EDC to me is just whatever you think it is, it's one of those terms that just means what it says. But I love the obsession over new ideas, and learning other people's EDC. It's like a cult, but a good one. And I love the micro machines, might try to find one of my old ones I loved. Also, pretty stoked to see you using a knife I recommended. Feels a little special haha
