(Antonio's Every Day Carry) [0:00:00]
So, what's in my everyday carry?
Well, first up, I never leave home without my trusty Ka-Bar, but you know it's got a
limited range.
So, if I need to be able to throw something, I take my tomahawk out with me.
Now, I've also got my 50-cal down over here and I've always got a few shots of whiskey
in my back pocket take off the edge, although I can go through about seven of these in an
hour.
[Music] All right, gents, just kidding, none of those
things are part of my everyday carry, except maybe the 50-cal.
So, first up, I've got my iPhone 7.
I've had this phone for over two years, it served me well.
Not really looking to upgrade, but if you've got some suggestions, we'd love to hear from
you down in the comments.
It has a RhinoShield on it.
I've got a plastic cover on the front.
But, what I love about this whole set up is the wallet on the back.
I have three credit cards; two are business credit cards, one's a personal credit card.
And I've also got my picture ID, my driver's license right in here.
And, it's really just a slim profile I keep in my front pocket most of the day and it
simply works.
So now, let's talk about watches.
Eight months ago, this would have been my everyday wear watch and I still love this
watch I do wear it occasionally, but I'm testing a lot of watches here in the dive category.
You want to see them?
These are the watches I'm wearing right now.
Now, as I'm showing you these watches, I'm not going to tell you the name of them.
The reason being is I want you to do some detective work.
Seriously, let's have some fun hit that pause button, see if you can identify some of these
watches.
Because here's the deal, I'm testing all these watches, but it's very unlikely that I'm going
to keep them all.
Now, I can't promise I'm going to give them all away especially these last two, but, guys,
let's see can you guess the watches?
Let me know down in the comments.
So, to be honest my everyday wear watch right now is changing almost every day because I'm
testing it I'm trying them out.
Now, I do have a few favorites, they are classic watches that when you put on you're just like,
wow, this thing is amazing.
All I'm going to say here is that my everyday wear watch for the summer of 2019 has and
will be a dive watch.
Next up, I've got my keys.
So, I've got my truck key, I have my office keys, I have my PO box, gym, and then I've
also got this utility key which has a little bit of a knife, a screwdriver, little things
like that, bottle opener.
I've got my home keys and then I've got this thing which I never use I just like it on
there.
And then, I've got to the YMCA and to my local gym.
So now, let's expand beyond my core everyday carry to the things I use almost every single
day.
I've got five of them right here.
So, first up, we've got gym bag.
I try to hit the gym about five times a week.
I have everything I need right in this bag.
Nice looking bag, right?
Guys, this bag is made by Mahi Leather, the sponsor of today's video.
Gents, I've talked about Mahi leather before.
They're making good quality bags out of India.
What I love about these guys are the prices.
Go check out their website, look at what you can get for your money.
So, this duffel bag right here I've been using it for the last few months, I absolutely love
it.
It's good quality at a fair price.
Now, one thing that makes Mahi Leather really unique is that they make everything made to
order, so whenever you put in your order, they are then going to make your bag.
So, you can actually get some things customized.
On this bag right here, look right there, see that bottom right hand corner RMRS.
And, I want to point out that this is one of the reasons they can keep their prices
low.
Because they carry no inventory everything is made to order, they're able to actually
keep costs lower.
And, for every bag that you grab, they actually contribute money towards clean water causes.
And, on top of all that, gents, they've got free worldwide shipping and a one-year warranty.
Guys, I'm linking to Mahi Leather down in the description with the best deal you're
going to find out there.
Use that link use that code, I'm putting it all in the description of this video to get
the best deal out there on these great looking bags.
Next up, I've got my Bluetooth headset.
So, many you guys know when you're driving throughout the United States in many parts
of the world, you need to have your hands-free.
But, actually, I don't really use this too much for talking, what I use it for is to
constantly be listening to audio books.
Anytime I'm out shopping at the grocery store, anytime I've got some downtime, I am listening
to audio books to sharpen my mind.
Next up, I got sunglasses.
So, I always carry the case with me because I have damaged sunglasses not using a hard
case.
And I'm using just a classic pair of Wayfarers here, Enemy sunglasses and I am loving them.
This case did not come with Enemy, but it fits well and I use it.
I like a small case.
Next up, let's talk pens.
This pen writes beautifully.
It was a gift.
I love it and if I'm going to be ever journaling, I take this pen with me.
Now, this pen I love it just went traveling with it because it's you know the whole everyday
carry it's got a flashlight here I've got, if I needed to, you know, a specialty tool,
I've got that.
I can also turn this and I've got like an end that is hardened which apparently I could
break through glass.
I love the logic.
I have written with it, it doesn't write super well, but this is the pen I use if I’m traveling.
All right.
So, I'm going to try to sit a little bit lower, but as you guys can see I've got this travel
hat from Goorin Brothers, I absolutely love it.
What I like about this one is it I can fold it up.
I usually fold it just like this, it goes into my bag and I'm going to be heading to
New York City here tomorrow I'll be traveling.
When I was in Southern California went to Disneyland I wore this all over.
I also like how it’s perforated basically the air flows right through this thing it
travels.
It is an amazing hat.
So now, we're going to expand a little bit farther out and these are things I carry close
to me, usually in my truck or I've got access to or if I'm traveling I'm taking this with
me.
[0:05:07] So, first up, I've got a wallet.
Now, I don't carry a wallet with me all the time, but I do keep one in my truck.
And, within the wallet, I've got basically backup credit cards, I have you know coupon
cards, I've got membership cards, I've got a backup expired ID.
I have a VA, I mean, you know, for my veteran’s card.
What else?
I've got about $200 in cash in various bills.
All of them very clean bills because you never know when you're going to have to stick them
in a machine.
I've also got two checkbooks; a business and a personal checkbook.
In the United States, we still use checks.
And, I carry a first aid kit.
Being a dad, somebody always gets a small cut, I find I use these all the time.
Now, I used to carry this knife a lot.
Can anyone identify?
I got it about twenty years ago.
I loved it, but it really wasn't the most functional thing.
And then, I started carrying multi-tools.
Again, I carry these in my truck and I just like all the different options.
This one is a Leatherman Surge.
I've also got a Gerber as well.
My wife has one.
I like Gerber because I like to be able to snap it like that.
But, I like tools like this.
I do use them on occasion and I like it they're just right there in my vehicle.
Next up, I've always got small books.
I like books like this because you can get through them quickly and they're easy to carry
and transport.
So, tomorrow when I'm heading off to New York, guess what?
I'll be taking this with me on the airplane.
When everyone has to turn off all their electronics, I simply will sit down and I'll be able to
get through this relatively short book, I could probably read this in about two to three
hours and I'll be able to get through it on my trip.
Now, let's talk about fresh breath.
I do think having gum handy is a great thing and a gift that I can give it any time.
So, this is my 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine battalion coin.
Check that out right there.
Relatively small and from kids to adults, they all like the story behind it and so I
always carry a few of these and I like to give them away.
Now, if I'm traveling, I usually take my iPad I've got a 5th generation.
What I like about this is I put it right into this little thing I bought on the web.
Look at that, this looks like a mini computer.
It doesn't have all the functioning power of a larger computer, but it is so simple
so small so convenient.
And then, I take a backup power source and having two Apple devices, it works fine.
I can just take one cord and this will be able to charge either the iPad or my phone
multiple times.
So, what am I missing?
What would you add?
Let me know down in the comments.
And, if you're actually curious about all the items I do have in my vehicle for emergency,
check out this video, I made it a while back.
It's a good video and I go into a lot of detail about what's in my truck.
