hey guys as many of you know after last week I am now very big into everyday carry I have an everyday carry youtube channel called best damn EDC and it's very closely related to technology because many of the devices I do carry our smart devices or connected in some way but of course some of its not smart at all it's not connected it's just there for style or preference or just because it's cool so with that said I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is my everyday carry for those of you out there who are not familiar with everyday carry it's literally what it sounds like the stuff you carry with you every single day it doesn't have to be tech it doesn't have to be a firearm or a knife it could be a backpack that you carry a fanny pack it could be literally anything it's the gear that you carry every day the stuff that gets you through your day and makes your day easier while it is becoming more popular and more YouTube channels and tech youtubers are doing updates on their everyday carry anybody carry originally started with concealed carry tactical prepared mind sort of people but it's sort of grown into this this different thing anybody can have an everyday carry and it has now boiled down to just the stuff that anybody might carry that gets them through their day but I've been doing everyday carry stuff since 2014 off and on and because of that and because of this new channel I'm constantly changing things out so I've done my best to pare it down to the stuff that I carry most frequently my everyday carry technically isn't an everyday carry but it's this is as close to everyday carry as I can possibly get because I'm constantly changing things out so let's start with a wallet this year have probably changed my wallet six seven eight times normally I pick one and I stick with it but this year has been different and the one I have landed on is the card caddy from hitch and timber this thing is awesome I love it it's made out of a really really nice leather it's hand-stitched and it is just built like a tank but it's not just a wallet this also holds my gear as you can see here I have this right here this is the big idea designed TPT slide it is a knife and a multi-tool so if you slide that out you have a razor blade or a utility blade and if you dull it or don't want to use it or want to fly somewhere you can still carry this thing with you but you don't have to have a blade so this is my multi-tool I use this to open bottles it's probably one of the best bottle openers I've ever had and the dish right here is a pry tool and a flathead screwdriver which I most often use for my camera as a tripod tool the other side is my pen this is the Fisher's face pin bullet yes it can right in space it was designed for NASA by Fisher and it opens up flips around and creates a full-sized and these are very popular among the EDC crowd I don't really write much by hand but if I do I typically use this pin these are probably the worst sore point for that every day carry community because you have things like this this is my truck key it's separate from the fob it's bulky I hate it and there's not really much you can do with it I just have it on a 90s beam or clip to keep it kind of compact I hang my keys on my belt loop for quick access to those and I use this instead of a carabiner this is the Griffin pocket tool XL this is a big hunk of Steel it's a pry bar and multi-tools got a bottle opener different size hex drivers you've got rulers this is a pry bar with a nail puller flat-head screwdriver and a package opener this thing is a beast it feels really cool to use I just like it there's no other explanation then it's helpful and I like it and it feels cool I hang my house keys on that as well and I organized those using a key smart pro this is the black key smart pro that just came out what's significant about this over any of the other key organizers is that this one has a tile tracker built-in so if you lose your keys you can just pull out your phone if you drop them in the couch lose them outside you don't know where you put your keys you can unlock your phone you hit the find button and your keys ring the other thing about the key smart pro is that it's got a built-in flashlights when you walk up to your door at night you can shine this at the keyhole you can actually find it but the really significant thing about one of these the reason people use key organizers is because they allow you to keep your keys in the same order so no matter where you are or no matter where you put your keys or whatever they're always in the same order you know that this one's for the front door this one's for the back door and this one's for the side door or whatever order do you have your keys in they always stay in the same order and on one of these key organizers you can also use little pocket tools I have a little itty-bitty Griffin pocket tool this is a stowaway version from clicker knives and a bit driver which is interchangeable between a Phillips head and a flathead screwdriver and a very very compact package but when that flashlight on the key smart Pro is not enough which is most of the time I have this right here this is the O light s 1 R 2 baton this is a 1000 lumen flashlight it's very very small it's magnetically rechargeable so it's got a little dongle it snaps to the bottom of this thing and recharges got a moon light mode so it can be on and very very dim or really bright I can't stay bright for too long but it's also magnetic which is really nice you can stick it to the hood of your truck if you're working under the hood of your car you can stick it to that you can stick it to anything magnetic or metal and you can use it as a work light or one of my favorite things about these Oh lights they've got two-way pocket Clips so I can clip this in my pocket with the the lens down or I can clip it to my hat and have a headlamp the other thing I carry is this which is technically a pocket cleaver this is the sheepdog from Kaiser knives kind of cutlery this thing is really cool gets a lot of attention sometimes unwanted attention big knives tend to scare some people not me I've carried a pocket knife every single day except for when I was in school since I was like 7 it's just a fact of life it's not a weapon for me it's just a tool I use it to cut boxes open cut cut anything and everything I've got to use or cut in a day which is more often than you might think I use the TPT slide from Big Idea design for the boxes mainly because this blade is interchangeable and I don't want to ruin or dull the blade on this knife which is a two hundred dollar knife versus something I can replace for like ten cents 50 cents whatever these blades are really cheap want to wear every single day is this one right here this is the Timex expedition field chronograph it's a really cool little analog watch and yeah I don't wear a SmartWatch anymore I haven't in maybe about a year or two I switched to this one which is the casio pathfinder phe 240 i switched it after the Apple watch and several several several Android wear watches I can ignore my phone better than I can ignore something on my wrist if I check my phone people understand you're checking your phone you got a message you got a call whatever if you're checking your watch constantly even now people still think that you're in a hurry it's ingrained in our brains we think that if somebody's checking their watch they're running late or we're wasting their time and I just didn't like that so I stopped wearing a SmartWatch the last bit of my EDC I have two phones here on the table really lately I've only been carrying the iPhone 10 so I do have the iPhone 10 I have it in a moment photo case as you may have noticed my thing here with my EDC is mostly black and brown with a little silver and grey sprinkled in from time to time I love this moment case even when I'm not using the moment lenses and I also have the Samsung Galaxy S 8 plus and it's also in a moment photo case with the wood back that's the walnut back on it and if you're not familiar with moment they make these really really nice interchangeable lenses or you're home and you've got to have the case to be able to mount it to your phone they're heavy they're big in there some of the best foam lenses out there they're not like those chintzy ones that you clip on to your phone and distortion of bounds of these are good glass they're good optics want a wide angle or a fisheye lens for your phone moment makes good stuff I don't know if I would technically consider this my everyday carry but these right here I don't really go anywhere without these now especially if I'm working these are the new Sony XM threes they're noise cancelling headphones and they are lovely whatever I'm doing these are usually within arm's reach so technically could probably consider these everyday carry with all that said if you're interested in this stuff at all like an an obscure wallet that holds a knife and a pen or a weird hunk of metal that I dangle my keys from my pants with yeah you might like the the best damn
