I understand this is a hack video to pare down your gear, but I now have an additional 7 things I want to add to my edc 😅
-
A part of my bushcraft essentials are, believe it or not, two rolls of heavy duty dog poop bags. 13" x 9", non scented, 15 count per roll. They can be used for holding water, protecting small things from water like kindling, a place to put food items you may need to gather, and if it's really rainy you can make sandbags with them. I'm sure their are other uses so let your inner McGyver run wild.
-
Honored, privledged, and giddy to see our Ranger Bands and Viking Spark make it into this vid! Thanks Taylor and crew!
-
You can do the watch thing with a digital watch or even no watch by just knowing what time it is and imagining where the hour hand would be if you had an analog watch.
-
Great video, Taylor. I saved this in my EDC Playlist (a rare occurrence) for future reference. Yes, please more hack videos like this. I love it.
-
Use marine grade heat shrink and you don't need a knot. Just slide the tails in and heat it. It is lined with heat activated glue.
-
Best idea for a video ever! Please make this a weekly show. Include the small things you think people might automatically know. You never know when someone is brand new to EDC.
-
On ships, we often grind and shape channel lock handle ends, to a flat screw driver and a tapered spud for loosening knots and opening screw shackles.
-
Hahaha I was in the Army when you couldn’t buy ranger bands!! We made our own! Great video brother! Here’s a hack to add to your videos. When you’re sitting in the car waiting on your wife, roll the window down half way or more and use the edge of the window to sharpen up your knife! This really works!
-
I appreciate that you credit folks when you share their ideas. Lots of people will share “hacks” as there own without crediting the people like Mors who came up with them
-
An additional hack, specifically for RovyVon or similar micro edc flashlights. Make it a neck light with some paracord. It makes access to it more convenient in almost every scenario, you have a way to secure it to things when you need an area light, and it can even be worn without clothes. Do with that what you will.
-
I have been using paracord for flashlight tethers for years. My method involves keeping one side free to use as a lanyard while still being able to hook it around the light and use it as the hands-free loop or, most commonly, an impromptu belt loop for storage. It works with fewer designs, but the versatility it gives is amazing.
-
The hack with those ranger bands especially the one including the neck blade and the fire starter was great. Gonna do it to mine now. Thanks Taylor.
-
I had JUST started to put some heat shrink on some of my gear last month. Including on those tiny Knipex pliers. Love em but they were digging into my hands when I used them. Some trimmed heat shrink like in the video is amazing for the grip.
-
Some cool ideas there! Absolutely loving the shorter episodes. Smooth edit as always 😎👌
-
I wish you released this video a few days ago, I lost my Fenix pd25r in the bush the other day. I will be attaching a cord to all my lights that I take hunting now. Great video, keep it up!
-
You can also use the leatherman bit driver on top of a victorinox screwdriver (like the one found in the mini champ) and use different bits. Also bits can be used as a fire starter if you strike it with the mini champ file.
-
Appreciate you're ingenuity and consistency in excellent content brotha!!✊️🔥✌️💚
-
Enjoy the video and would love to see more content like this down the road. Best of luck in the new year!!!

After years of watching EDC vids i finally picked up a Leatherman free P2, civivi Crit and a decent field watch. it has been a game changer. I use the the Leatherman almost every day. Awesome vid, ill have to try that heat shrink when i pickup a flashlight
