00:00 Hey, what's up? It's Nick with Bearded Adventures. Yeah, I know. It's an in-kind-of-studio video.

00:08 I said I wasn't going to do those anymore. Well, it's like negative 15 outside and I'm

00:14 not going to do a walking, talking, vlog video in the freezing cold. So, here we are. Today,

00:22 we're going to talk about EDC or everyday carry. A little background on myself. I've

00:29 worked in skilled trades for 25 plus years and I've carried around a whole pocket full

00:34 of handy gadgets and gear. Up until about 10 years ago, I started working for a prison,

00:41 which I cannot carry any of that stuff anymore. Have you ever changed jobs or taken a new

00:48 position where you're not able to do a habit that you were doing for like 15 years? Let

00:54 me know in the comments if you have. But yeah, so I work for a prison now. I'm not able to

00:58 carry that gear. So, I found this little pouch. I know it's taking me 10 years, but anyways,

00:65 I found this little pouch that I like to carry now. It does have a fire starting, a couple knives,

00:75 a flashlight, some pens, and then a multi-tool in one pocket. And the other pocket, if you open

00:81 up, it's like an admin pocket, a battery, and charging capabilities, and a notebook. And I'm

00:89 still building this out. So, it's relatively new to carrying this pouch with me, but it's great.

00:95 It's a nice waxed canvas pouch. I can grab it, throw it in a backpack if I need to, or I can

00:100 put it in the door of the truck or car, and then it comes with me pretty much everywhere I want to

00:106 go. I still try to carry the basic stuff, basic EDC stuff with me on the times I'm not working

00:112 at the prison, which can be hard sometimes. I do forget to grab stuff or I want to grab a knife,

00:117 and I don't have it with me because at the prison, I can't have it with me. My wife bought this

00:122 little rack. It was a kitchen rack. She bought it really to set up, to clean up my little area,

00:128 you know, that area that everyone puts their stuff that they have in their pockets or set down. You

00:134 know, a lot of people put it on the dresser. Mine happens to be in the kitchen on one of our

00:137 counters. So, she bought this fancy little wired shelf. She probably didn't intend it to be what

00:146 it is now, but it was more of a charging area for different things. But it's a two-tiered rack.

00:153 I can put some of my EDC stuff on that, and then also can charge different things in the rack.

00:160 But I put my EDC stuff on it, so when I get home from work or from the prison, which I wasn't

00:166 allowed to carry a knife in, I can grab a knife and throw in my pocket, and then I have a knife

00:170 for me the rest of the day. It's funny how a small inexpensive rack from Amazon can be a world of

00:177 help. That's it for this video. I will link in the description the Amazon links for the little

00:184 rack and this pouch. They're both really inexpensive. But yeah, I hope this helped you out,

00:191 and I hope to see you on the trail.
