do an EDC update for you guys today if you're not familiar with EDC it stands
for everyday carry and that's something that's personal and specific to each
person is whatever you carry with you on a daily basis whether it be your phone
keys knife and whatever else you carry to get through your day things that you
might need throughout your day that you always want to have on you now I've done
an EDC video in the past I was one of the first videos on the channel and I
will put a link to that right here at the top of the screen I know my EDC has
evolved it's changed just like I'm sure yours has everyone's everyday carry
changes with the seasons changes with the years as your needs change and
things like that now my EDC like I said it's personal to me
I don't expect yours to be the same as mine but I hopefully can give you some
good ideas so let's get over to the tabletop and I'll show you everything
that I carry on a daily basis alright guys know these are the things
that you'll typically see me carry every day on a daily basis all these items are
always on me if I need them now some of these items I have done individual
reviews on and I'll let you know as we get to those and I'll put a link to
those up at the top of the screen and down in the description so you can go
check out those full reviews of a lot of these items I will also try to put links
to these down in the description below if you want to go purchase any of them
for yourself also please if you haven't yet make sure you hit that subscribe
button down below and hit that notification bell so you get notified
every time we upload new videos now most of these items you're either going to be
having in your pocket or clip on your belt or something like that so we're
going to start with a good sturdy belt now I'm a firm believer that every man
should wear a belt if you don't you need to get rid of those yoga pants and where
some real man clothes now this is a belt that I've been wearing for years now
you've seen it in my first EDC video and I've been wear
ever since this is a built from bull hide belts calm and what really makes
this special is the thickness this is a quarter-inch thick belt gives a lot of
rigidity a lot of support especially if you're carrying a firearm and I do
everyday I also just uploaded a video it's a full review of these bull hide
belts if you want to go check those out next thing you'll see here is my knife
and this is something else that hasn't changed since my first EDC video this is
the Kershaw clash and it does have the little flipper opening here so you can
get a nice quick deployment it has a very nice large sturdy pocket clip that
is fairly low profile if you're into that and you want to keep it pretty low
profile in your pocket this thing does have a three inch blade with serrations
about a third of the way up this is a very good knife you know if you're a
knife snob you may not like this but I found it to be a very good knife I have
lost some over the years and every time I lose one or mess one up I just go
online and order a new one so there is a link to that in the description as well
you know something that is different is my EDC flashlight and I love this thing
I've been carrying this for about a year now this is the stream light micro
stream USB this is a 250 lumen light it is very small and compact so it's great
for EDC but don't let that size fool you it is fairly powerful for an EDC light
this flashlight is 250 lumens that is more than enough light that you'll need
for your average everyday tasks something else that I really love about
this is that reversible clip so not only can you clip it on your pocket but you
can also use that clip to clip it onto your hat and use it like a headlamp
so that comes in handy a lot a flashlight is something I think a lot of
people neglect to carry on them on a regular basis and I'll tell you what
ever since I've been carrying a flashlight I could not imagine going a
day without it I use this thing all the time something else that's different is
my wallet you saw in my last a DC video I had a very thick leather wall
old-school like your dad probably carried but I wanted something thinner
that big thick wallet was just too much for me I do carry my wallet in my back
pocket so that was a pain carrying something thick and I decided to go with
the dango tactical wallet this thing is pretty cool they do have a
model that comes with a multi-tool that's inside it but it is a nice sturdy
metal and it has a thick metal frame that supports it and keeps your cards
from breaking and things like that it is RFID blocker so I will protect your
cards as well has this really sturdy rubber strap that acts as a money clip
you can put money or cards or whatever on the outside on both sides this wallet
advertises that it will hold up to eight cards and have several cards here on
this side I do have my ID and some other important items that you want to get to
quickly right here on this side like my ID my concealed carry permit and my
hunting license is all on that side I will say the one thing I don't like
about this is if you want to get to one of these cards in the back or the middle
it is kind of a pain in the butt you kind of have to push all of them out and
fan them out to find the one that you want so that is a little bit
inconvenient but for the comfort of carrying a thin wallet like this I'm
okay with that I do carry just a standard big lighter
everyday you never know when you might need something like that so always carry
one I do quickly want to mention my cell phone I can't show it to you because
that's what I'm using the film right now I have the galaxy s 9 with a very sturdy
Otterbox case on it I definitely recommend having a good strong case on
your phone now next up is in the age of cellphones a lot of people don't carry
these anymore but I do carry the casio g-shock gravity master this is a great
watch it is waterproof as you can see it is very rugged I can't tell you how many
times I've bumped this into things and it's held up very well I've swam with it
multiple times never had an issue with water or anything like that the main
reason I went with this watch specifically is because it does have a
compass so if you hit this compass button here that minute hand will move
and it will of you reading for North as you can see
as I turn it it's going to keep going back and giving me no true north that's
something I think you'd come in very handy
eventually you guys know that I'm very preparedness minded so if you are ever
to get stranded somewhere or something like that and you needed to find your
way home having that compass on your watch would
definitely be a big help it also has world time temperature
readings and all that good stuff so that's a great watch I definitely
recommend that and I'll try to put a link to that in the description below as
well I do wear a paracord survival bracelet every day I recently posted a
video on how to make this and what all is inside it this bracelet right here
can act as a full survival kit right there on your wrist now real quickly I
will just show you that it does have a pharisee rod and a scraper so you can
make fire with this it also has fishing line and fire tender
and all that woven into it that you can pull out and use if you need to
obviously you can see here that it does have an emergency whistle on the buckle
so if you want to check that out I did do a video on this I'll put a link to
that at the top of the screen so you can go check that out next up is my keys
just your standard keys I got my truck key house keys shop keys work keys and
all that good stuff on there now what I'm using to organize this is this key
organizer from key smart as you can see mine's fairly worn this was actually red
when I got it and I didn't want it to be red so I scraped off all the coating and
tried to paint it black and as you can see over time that paint has worn off
but it still works just fine now the way this works is just kind of like a Swiss
Army knife you can just fan your keys out right here
whenever you want to get to them and it keeps them nice and compact and
organized and hidden away when you don't need your keys so it makes it a lot less
bulky in your pocket it is very small and compact you can imagine if I had all
these keys just bundled up on a keychain how bulky that would be in my pocket I
do have them on a carabiner nothing special there alright now we're getting
to the fun stuff guys I do carry a firearm every day before
we get into that I'm going to show you this I do carry a backup magazine almost
every day and I tried a lot of different methods for carrying the extra magazine
I tried magazine holsters and I tried just carrying it loose in my pocket and
that just didn't work out great for me so what I'm using is this neo mag and
all it is is a magnetic pocket clip as long as you have a metal magazine this
will work for you it just magnetically attaches to your magazine and you can
clip this down on your belt they do all four different sizes of clip this is the
extended clip so that I can get it real deep in my pocket and nobody can see
that I'm carrying a magazine and if you ever need to reach into your pocket and
grab this thing all you need to do is pull it out the clip stays on your
pocket and the magazine comes out and that is the best way I found to carry an
extra magazine I love this thing and I definitely recommend that alright now
what you really been waiting for the firearm that I carry every day has
changed most days I'm going to be carrying the Smith & Wesson M&P shield
and it is loaded because if it wasn't loaded
it wouldn't be doing me any good as you can see now and something loaded
I love the M&P shield it is definitely my number one go-to as far as a
concealed carry everyday carry gun it's very slim and compact it's got some nice
three dot sights it's very comfortable it's fairly lightweight and it has
decent capacity now all it comes standard with this flat baseplate 7
round magazine it does come with an extended magazine as well if you're
interested in that now the other thing I've done to just increase that capacity
a little bit is I do have mag guts in all of my MMP shield magazines I did do
a video on mag guts if you'll look up here at the top of the screen you'll see
that but what that does is it is a spring kit that you can replace the
spring in this magazine and it will allow you to carry one extra round so it
turns the seven round magazine into an eight round magazine
giving me nine rounds total in my gun and I don't have to tell you how nice
that is to have a higher capacity in your gun I also carry that in the
stealth gear vent core mini this is a great holster I still prefer the two
clip holsters to a one clip holster I just feel that it's more secure on my
waist with this vent core backing it is very very comfortable especially in the
summer it's something I will show you I put the flashlight up to it here you
can see that it does have vent holes in it and that's going to allow the air to
flow through so it doesn't get so sweaty and hot on you especially in the
summertime I'm also a firm believer that you should have multiple options for
carrying your gun so I do on days when I want to carry outside the waistband I
have the Bravo concealment outside the waistband holster as you can see it is
super thin and compact and it's going to be nice and tight to your waist which is
very important if you're going to be trying to conceal carry outside the
waistband so if I want to carry outside the waistband that's how I'm going to do
it there and there are a lot of times that I prefer to carry something a
little bit smaller so on those days I will be carrying the Smith & Wesson
bodyguard as you can see this is a very nice small compact gun if I'm carrying
this most of the time it's going to be in this DeSantis pocket holster I really
love this thing it's nice and grippy on the outside so
that it'll stay in your pocket when you go to draw that gun also a lot of times
when I'm carrying this gun I will carry it in my bug bite ankle holster if you
haven't seen this video you need to go check it out I love this ankle holster
it is very thin and compact and the most comfortable ankle holster I personally
have ever seen so I definitely recommend you go check out that video like I said
guys I like to have lots of different options different ways to carry and of
course we all know unfortunately there are places that we are not allowed to
carry a firearm so in those cases I will carry a pepper spray with me
I'll keep this in my truck and anytime I don't have to go into a place that
doesn't allow me to carry my gun I'll just drop
this pepper spray down in my pocket so I still have some way to defend myself and
that's pretty much it guys that is my updated 2019 EDC you can see it all kind
of sprawled out here on the table these are mostly things that I carry every
single day with me I'm a firm believer in the old saying it's better to have it
and not need it than to need it and not have it so if you like these kind of
