>> Look man I was around in the '90s,
the question is, is it a belly bag or a fanny pack?
I don't understand what the difference is.
>> Whatever your style is, you rock it Brian.
>> Why isn't it in fluorescent pink?
That's what I don't understand.
>> Speaking of the 90s it's just loaded with pogs.
It's all pogs. [laughter]
>> So how everyday carry is an everyday carry?
Should this be on my side like a hip flask at all times?
>> If you want to look like a weirdo
like you're going into combat or something.
>> Okay we've settled that
>> Yeah I would say that you just keep this
under the seat of your car or in your glove box
or something like that.
It's clearly like a backpack
for an Ewok or something like that,
for a very small person.
>> Okay so we unboxed a bug out bag a while ago
and all of that was for a very specific purpose.
[distorted radio sounds]
The whole world is disastrous and you just want to
get the heck out of there and be able to survive.
How does an everyday carry kit differ from that?
>> Everyday carry could mean a lot of things,
it depends on what the use is for.
Is it going to be something where you escape
in an urban environment?
Is it going to be where you're in the woods?
Is it meant to just be something for EMTs
packed with medical gear and stuff like that?
So you can customize them for whatever you want.
>> It's funny because I carry a backpack with me most places
and there is sort of an EDC aspect to all that
but my guess is there's probably no USB flash drives in here
>> Yeah, this is a pre-made one, as is this one,
clearly this is not something that
Jason Murphy would be carrying >> I don't know
looks very Jason Murphy to me.
So what's the difference between these two kits.
>> Well this one is more of a generalized EDC kit.
There's going to be some first aid stuff, some emergency stuff.
While this Molly bag here, this one is more for first aid
specifically, as indicated by the red cross.
>> I never thought of EDC as being a first aid kind of thing.
I thought it was stuff that whatever your job is,
whatever your lifestyle is, stuff that you need to have
on you all day every day.
First aid kit doesn't, to me, feel like something
that I would carry around all the time.
>> Yeah because we're modern rogues
and we usually don't worry about safety
and that kind of thing >> There is that,
you're not wrong.
[laughter]
>> Let's see what you got in here.
>> Well first of all we got a carabiner that you think
"Oh that'll be really useful to climb,"
and then it says "Not for climbing,"
so I guess that's for putting all your friendship rings on.
Just seeing an emergency blanket, that always feels like,
"Why am I lugging around an emergency blanket at all times?
"Am I afraid, here in Texas,
"that I'm going to get emergency cold at any given time?"
>> We've answered that question. Predators.
>> Okay, you're right. You're right.
>> BRIAN: Okay, yup, there you are.
>> JASON: [laughs]
>> BRIAN: I mean, real clear with my eyes right?
>> What is that?
We have a thing that clasps onto a thing.
>> We're going to have to look that one up.
>> This one I do know, this is paracord emergency bracelet.
You are able to, if you're out in the woods,
you take the bracelet, you unravel it,
and you have plenty of paracord to create a shelter.
Oh, this looks like a ferrocerium rod.
Yeah!
Which by the way, in the bug out bag,
I think we didn't recognize that the side
of that orange tube had a ferrocerium rod on there.
We've since become much more savvy.
>> Let's heat this up and then throw it on the floor,
see what happens.
>> Yup, I'm on it.
Look at that! I'm going to burn down the HQ! [laughs]
>> You're totally going to set the rug on fire!
Let's just do this for about 20 minutes, that'll be fun.
>> Don't you tempt me, this would be a fine video.
Eight hours of Brian striking a ferrocerium rod! [laughs]
I assume this is a flashlight.
This looks like a tactical flashlight without batteries.
What?
>> I guess it's not ready to go.
>> Why would you not have batteries
in your tactical flashlight?
>> JASON: Are there batteries in there at all?
>> BRIAN: There's not. >> JASON: Doesn't look like it
>> This is actually the first warning we should come up with
is if you buy an EDC, don't assume that it's all ready to go
you got to get hands on and modify it to your tastes.
Oh I know what this is >> That looks familiar
>> BRIAN: Yeah! >> JASON: Tactical pen!
>> BRIAN: This is very similar to the lock-proof pen
that we have over at Scam Stuff.
So you do have a pen, you can write with it,
it's got this tool that is designed to smash open windows,
which we need to test out on the car over there,
not that we're playing favorites, all I know is that
on the lock-proof pen, not only is there that,
there's also a crenulation attack tool
so that you can self defense and bash someone's head with it
and if you open it up there's a bunch of lock picks in there
but that's not this one.
This is a fine tactical pen,
it's just no lock proof pen.
>> I think we should use the lock proof pen on...
>> Gary?
>> Dave. His name's Dave.
>> BRIAN: Oh [laughs] I didn't know you were pointing
at the dummy, I thought you meant an actual human being.
>> No not you Dave, actually Gary.
[beep]ing Gary.
>> Oh man, sweet ass knife.
Yeah you could cut right towards your thumb.
>> That's actually very effective,
it's a very effective thumb cutter.
>> [gasps] How loud do you think this is?
>> Oh, let's find out!
[piercing whistle]
Very loud.
That's good. >> My ears are ringing
[piercing whistle]
>> Sorry Bryce.
[laughter]
>> Sorry, I feel bad.
>> JASON: I'm very sorry.
>> Here's another carabiner because
I guess you need a redundant array of independent carabiners
>> Maybe you want to get it swinging so everybody knows
it's got your carabiner.
>> BRIAN: Oh! We know what this is.
It's a saw that's a chain,
we were using this to saw through stuff before.
>> JASON: You could probably cut small trees
or maybe through, I don't know, zip ties.
>> Here let me just
>> Very effective!
>> BRIAN: Holy cow that was really fast!
>> I wonder how long it would take to remove someone's hand.
In case of an injury.
>> BRIAN: Maybe we can get Bill Duran to come out
and make us a fake hand.
>> Fake hand, right, okay.
>> BRIAN: Here we go, this is a multitool
covered in paracord that you could use for a bunch of stuff.
I got to tell you, a lot of this doesn't feel to me
like an everyday carry thing.
To me the heart of an everyday carry
is stuff that you will use every single day.
None of these, I think I would use every single day.
>> Not even the knife or the pen?
>> Maybe the knife and certainly the pen
but outside of that these are all for special occasions.
It's almost a miniature bug out bag.
Now if you told me it's a miniature bug out bag
I'm 100% all in, but everyday carry
I just don't know how much of this I would use
on a day to day basis.
>> Yeah it is very survival, [beep]-hits-the-fan scenario
kind of stuff.
You could find a lot of uses for these
but you couldn't find a lot of uses for these.
I couldn't find a lot of uses for these.
>> All right, things missing from this:
a pocketbook of pornography, 3 USB drives,
a lightning cable, a battery charger
>> The complete Dark Tower Collection.
>> A bunch of pirated audio books.
A 2006 iPod,
iPod Shuffle.
>> Some Spiderman graphic novels
>> Replacements for your earbuds,
those little things that pop off the ends,
the rubber gaskets.
Now we're talking about an everyday carry.
All right what do you got?
>> Now this one's more first aid oriented.
This one's going to be a lot more practical,
probably something that
more people would find general use of.
We got an emergency trauma bandage in here.
You want to open this up? Let's open it up.
If only we had a knife.
Is there a thing?
>> BRIAN: So is this what? Super absorbent
like you have a gunshot
and you just wrap that around and it absorbs everything?
>> JASON: So in here we've got, oh, of course
a little pocket knife with some other--
>> BRIAN: Now I like this one more
because it's got such a low profile.
This one is a big beast that you're kind of
showing off to your friends playing Counter-Strike
but this one is one that I would actually keep on me.
>> This one's got some flair right?
And this one's just more practical.
We have what looks to be the exact same flashlight.
>> BRIAN: Somebody sourced from the same aliexpress account.
Open it up, open it up.
I bet there's no battery.
Why would they sell these things with no batteries?
>> JASON: Fail.
Well maybe they sit on the shelf
and if you get a battery sitting on the self for too long.
>> Then the would go bad, yeah I could see that.
>> JASON: Some glowsticks for
if you find a rave in the woods!
>> That's right!
>> JASON: Which, that happens, you know?
Okay what else we got here?
This is packed with stuff.
That's one of the things about these EDCs.
Sometimes packing them is just a work of art.
>> Yes and of course you ruin it
the moment you take everything out and do inventory.
In fact here, while you're doing that
I'll try to see if I can possibly pack everything back in,
there's no way.
>> I'm going to tell you right now,
once this episode is done, this is getting dumped in a box.
We're going to keep it, this is going to be in a box.
Okay, what do we have here? What is this?
I have a blue thing here.
>> BRIAN: A blue thing? >> JASON: Yup!
It's a pool floaty
>> BRIAN: No.
>> This is called a quick saver?
Is it for food?
>> I believe that is a vacuum sealed bag
>> Mouth to mouth resuscitation device.
So you don't get somebody's cooties on ya
>> Okay, Red Cross does not advise anybody do
mouth to mouth anymore, they say just chest compressions
>> Correct.
>> That whole thing is just to protect yourself from cooties?
>> Yeah you don't want somebody yarfing in your mouth.
>> Dumb. That's dumb, that's dumb.
I don't like it.
>> Okay.
[laughter]
Get out of here.
Medical tape, and looks like some sting relief pads.
That's actually pretty useful
considering all the insects we've got out here.
>> BRIAN: Hold on, hold on.
>> JASON: Do you need to stand on it?
>> BRIAN: Hold on, hold on, I may, I may,
hold on.
[laughter]
Hold on.
>> JASON: Get it, get it.
Waiting for that click.
>> Hold on.
[laughter]
Ah!
There's going to be a disaster and I'm going to open this
and it's going to be like I opened a fake jar of peanut brittle
and snakes are just going to fly out
except they're razor blades.
>> Oh my god.
>> Got it.
>> Maybe we should put like, "Do not open," on there
>> Who needs a tote?
like this is all you, I don't understand.
>> If you're not going to carry a purse,
carry a black velvet bag, or a crown royal bag.
>> I would put my gold dubloons in this
so that I can hire assassins to find the girl or whatever.
>> I've actually seen you carrying arout
a bag full of dubloons so >> Yes okay that's a real thing
>> JASON: Safety pins, and then we've got another--
>> BRIAN: Dude I think that is an exact version
of the all access card.
Yup this it the exact all access card
that we have at Scam Stuff,
which can be useful because it's got blades on the side,
the serrated edge you're able to use as a saw,
you have measuring, and of course hex nuts,
and of course the bottle opener.
To be honest I use it mainly for the bottle opener.
>> Of course you do. [laughs]
Scissors.
>> BRIAN: How are there no scissors in this?
>> JASON: Another ferrocerium striking rod.
This thing.
Oh is it a whistle?
[whistling]
It is a whistle, cool.
>> It's got that British sound where it's just like
[whistling] Guv'nor, stop!
[whistling]
>> Stop or I shall say stop again!
>> Sherlock, come!
[whistling] >> The game is afoot!
>> Another, another
>> Yup, paracord. Another paracord thing.
First aid blanket, again.
>> BRIAN: They love those first aid blankets.
>> JASON: Oh a poncho!
This is a trash bag, let's be honest.
>> Actually that's good advice man.
A lot of this you could find just in most urban environments
like a trash bag.
What you want is to stop the water from getting on your body
Looks good.
>> Feels good.
Yeah? >> Yeah.
>> All right.
What do we got here?
Some gauze.
We're getting to the bottom here.
Tweezers.
I bet I know what this is.
Multitool.
>> BRIAN: Oh that's not bad.
That's a decent looking multitool.
Yeah that'll do.
>> It's pretty good.
>> What's the difference in price between these two?
>> This one runs $31 and this one runs about $45.
>> I would say for the value you get a lot more stuff
but the trade off is, it's a much bigger, clunkier thing.
>> It is, but it is packed with stuff
we've got some Q-tips in there, we're still going.
Lots of little pockets, what is this here?
First aid gloves, of course,
waterproof sterile bandages.
Let's see, cotton wool ball,
Bandage, wound dressing, wound dressing,
sterile gauze pads, burn dressing.
>> BRIAN: I got to tell you Jason
when we did the bug out bag,
we thought that was a really good starting point
that somebody should buy
and then modify for their bug out experience
but these just feel like
I don't know, low rent first aid kits.
I feel like, and we don't often do this,
I feel like we should turn it completely over
to the Rogue fans out there,
like what should the Modern Rogue's everyday carry kit be?
Because to me everyday carry is stuff you're going to use
every single day and you're going to want to have available
at all times.
>> Well think about this, we got the three pillars,
the modern rogue, the gentlemen,
the scoundrel, and the warrior,
each of those EDCs are going to be different.
>> Oh that's good.
All right so that's the game, that's the challenge
to all you guys.
First of all let's offer our judgment on these,
worth the money or no?
>> Maybe not for this one, it depends on your lifestyle.
I think this one is more generally applicable
and probably something that someone,
that anyone, should have on hand.
There's really everything you need here,
just about, for emergency medical care.
>> I think that's the only bummer, is that
this is very appropriate for emergencies
but we're not having emergencies every single day.
>> Good point.
>> Treat this like a first aid kit, have it around,
but to me an everyday carry
should be filled with stuff that you're using all the time
>> They've got the glowsticks for the rave
[hummed rave sounds]
>> All right you know what, I take it all back.
It's fantastic.
>> It's great, yeah.
We've got the Molly,
which is not what I thought I was ordering
and we've got the glow sticks
>> All right you guys could do better at home, tell us.
>> So last month was the first time
that we did one of these Roman spots
about erectile dysfunction
and I was shocked at the comments that were like,
"Why are you advertising for this?"
The answer couldn't be more
because boners are rad!
Everybody who wants a boner should have one.
That's our controversial take.
>> Yeah and a lot of people over the age of 50
experience it and some people under the age of 50
experience it and 75% of the people who experience
erectile dysfunction don't seek treatment
and it's so easy to get it treated now.
>> I don't even blame them man,
because that's awkward as hell,
it's like you're there for your cholesterol,
your blood pressure--
>> You just want to slide a note across the table
to your doctor
>> I imagine somebody's trying to be coy like,
"Oh my willow is weepy?" [laughter]
And he's like, "Cool story bro,
"anyway, bye."
>> There's nothing to be ashamed of
and it is so easy to fix.
If you go to Roman, you don't have to go into the doctor,
they get you FDA approved medicine from a licensed doctor
>> Is the important part, real medicine
from real doctors, getroman.com/rogue
they get you setup so you can take care of that thing, man.
>> Free online visit and free two day shipping.
What's the problem? Do it!
>> Boners are great though.
>> Yeah, Al.
[laughter]
>> We also get something else.
>> It's true.
>> Man Offscreen: Get off my case dad.
[laughter]
>> We left that in didn't we?
>> Yeah. We did. [claps]
>> It's increasingly just about my dad.
