URBAN EDC A realistic One | What's in my Pocket Everyday  

“We carry our insecurities in our pockets.” That is a great quote as it relates to EDC. Great video.

As a European I strongly approve this message! I love your no BS attitude and kind of minimalistic approach to EDC. Thanks!

At what point does it get ridiculous? Sometimes i’m just getting ice cream, not invading a small country.

Would love to see how you made those pockets out of gorilla tape. Love the REAL content. Edc channels now just promo the over priced useless tools.

Great video, FINALLY someone who uses gear in a way that makes sense, like using one knife only and not having 2 backpacks and 8 pouches. Also, that mini ceramic blade is very cool. Can you describe better how you proceeded to make it? Or link to a video, I couldnt find the channel you were referring to when talking about it. Thanks

Alex - great content - everyone else waste time promoting themselves and product and talking too much. You were to the point, unique, and an obvious thinker. I have much to learn from you. Thank you.

Third video of yours I have watched. Very informative and high quality. I am sure your channel will grow quickly with content like this!

New subscriber! Finally a realistic edc video, great work.

Nice video. Learned a few things. Going light is the way to go after all. Have a nice day.

Thanks for sharing your sensible approach to edc. Good video!

Great Video Alex. Yes please keep on your 2024 goal of more vids please bro. Zac, Australia

glad your liking the notebook! Thanks for sharing your EDC

Hi Alex. Glad to see you abck. Some great thought provoking ideas. ATB and stay safe. Nigel

Excellent advice! I like how small your EDC kit is. Only carry what you need 😎

That’s definitely some interesting stuff especially that signal blocking bag at the end

You've got a new fan, enthusiast, and subscriber.. love the content the format and the information/ideas! Edit: i also have a very similar pouch i carry as my wallet+ in my back pocket its not very minimal but I like being able to have as much as I can for the you never know moments especially having three boys cause i never know!

Great video. Thank you for what you do.

Cheers mate, you have a cool channel…enough to subscribe. Thanks, keep up the good content👍👍👍

Sarah and I have followed you on IG for such a long time, I am embarrassed that we are just finding your RU-vid Channel now. This was a great video and we look forward to seeing more!

Good video. Thanks for taking the time.

❤ great video. many thanks x

New to the channel. Amazing Content Alex. Looking forward to more solo adventure videos in the Woods!

Only now I get it: you're the guy from Wander Tactical! You're as cool as your beautiful knives, Alex. I absolutely LOVE my Hurricane T Folder, is my favourite one together with the Viper Turn Limited Ed.! Bravo fratello e in bocca al lupo per i vostri prossimi WT!

No toys no BS , one of the real ones great video thanks

@AlexWander, I don't know how I have never seen your channel before today?! GREAT video! I will be watching all 52 of your videos, and looking forward to more! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I just found your channel and I 100% trust you. No BS advertising ect thank you.

Really great video Alex! I loved your camera work. Looking forward to seeing you and Dino at Blade Show this year!

Alex - just got a new subscriber. Great content. First video I see of yours and I really enjoyed the no-nonsense video. Enjoyed that you use practical thinking and great comment about the knife. While watching other EDC videos I always ask, “Why so many knives everywhere?” You don’t really need that many.

A realistic way to EDC. Thank you!

Great video, practical kit. Thank you.

Waiting to see some more videos from you. Enjoy this one.

Great tools and always great gear too Alex 🙌👌

Amazing vid with a sensible EDC. I was listening without looking the screen and the "All f**k cutter " caught me off guard...

Great Video My Friend ! Excellent ideas and EDC ! I appreciate you bro ! 🙏

Thank you for the video, big job. Usually I carry a knife, usually a Vic and a multitool, I’ll keep some idea for your video.

This is an insane amount of stuff. EDC is always each to his own but how he started this video I was expecting a minimalist.

Hey Alex, great video, thank you! 🙏🏻 Straight to the point, no BS and and EDC that makes sense. Rare to see these days! Just one question.. what jacket are you wearing in the video? A Fjällräven one I suppose? Thank you again, you gained a new subscriber! Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Amazing how you manage to construct every sentence out of more video shots than words.

I have two layers on me as well. On person I carry the usual cellphone, wallet, keys and pocket knife and a firearm. Then in my smaller chest sling I’ll carry a multi tool, flashlight, notepad and pen, some bandaids, a tourniquet and quik clot gauze, a connectivity kit that can charge my phone to whatever is around plus a charging cable. That’s it. I keep it relatively as small as possible because the bigger the bag the more I’d carry and then it’d be heavy and I wouldn’t carry eventually. Took me awhile to narrow it down, but in most scenarios I’d be covered.

Great video! Thanks buddy!

Good video, I'm looking forward to watching more! I have carried a folding knife for self defense for years. It's for emergencies, so I don't use it for anything else. Side note: I also carry it on my support side, in case I need help defending my firearm, which is worn strong side. Consequently, I effectively don't usually have a blade for every day use. There are some Chinese knock offs of some spiderco blades that weigh next to nothing. Recently I've started carrying one of those as a beater knife that I don't feel bad about using for normal knife stuff. I also have the Hiker version of a Swiss Army Knife, it's a version with a Phillips head screw driver instead of a corkscrew. I couldn't find a comfortable way to carry it for a long time because I hate the way knives without pocket clips end up sideways at the bottom of your pocket. Then I found a small pocket clip that attaches to the D ring of the knife. It makes carrying a Swiss Army Knife a lot more comfortable on a daily bases. I have a heavy duty straight pin stuck in the hole made for that purpose, and a small fero rod that replaces the toothpick. The Hiker is only 2 layers, so it's very comfortable worn in jean pockets with the pocket clip. Somtimes I carry a 3 layer version (forget the name) which has a saw blade. For EDC, I think a SAK version of two, and no more than 3 layers, with scissors makes a lot of sense. But I love the screwdriver option. The awl is really useful for cutting the heavy plastic on clam packed items. I luckily had my SAK at recent party for my granddaughter. I was the only one there with a pocket knife, let alone a screwdriver. Thus I became the designated toy package opener and battery inserter. The tools are surprisingly functional and well made on legit Swiss Army Knives, which surprised me since I had a cheap copy of one when in Scouts. The knife blade is decent quality, but nothing special by today's standards set by super steels. But then it's also very easy to touch up or resharpen with an inexpensive whetstone. And the Hiker model costs less than $25! When I'm fishing, hunting, or in the woods, I really prefer a multi-tool with pliers and wire cutters. Leatherman tools seem to have very high quality metal files. But then we're talking something that's best worn on a belt sheath. I've been thinking of buying a belt with a hidden pocket built in to carry a little extra cash, a laminated copy of my driver's license, and a ceramic, single edged razor blade. The ceramic blade that I have has a metal backside like all single edged blades. So a metal detector would still find it, but the sharp part won't rust like regular blades eventually do. But you can buy several dozen regular blades for the same price, so that probably wasn't the best purchase I ever made. We had a ceramic paring knife recently break. I saved the blade thinking that I might use it, shorten it, or modify it somehow. I am almost always pretty close to my vehicle, even while working, so I have a lot of useful things in my vehicle that I don't feel the need to carry on my person. And I live in a Constitutional Carry State in the U.S. Knives are also unregulated, so blade length and locking features aren't restricted. If you are going to carry a note pad AND a plastic stabby thing, then IMO, a high quality metal or tactical pen seems more worthwhile, and more subtle. I have a lock picking set, but I'm not good enough to make carrying it worthwhile. I need to practice more, and at least have it in my vehicle.

Looking forward to this

Now this is a very respectable edc video that makes you think

I often have two knives with me. A Swiss Vitorinox as a tool in my backpack and a folding knife as a weapon in my trouser pocket.

Fantastic video and so Interesting 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

what a great video.... well done..👍👍👍

Great ideas and discussion points.

Great stuff, thank you.

new subscriber here.Starting building my first EDC kit

Hi. Great video. You and I think alike. Be aware, when using a tourniquet the distant (from the heart) part of the limb will go numb. If it's a leg, as soon as the blood flow stops, start making a crutch. Be ready to crawl. And keep up the great work!!!

Great video, do more. Thanks

Interesting. I carry some of this. Good video

Great Video Alex!

There is a good chance you can solve your head ache problem by drinking some water with a little celtic salt in it. We often have a tendency to treat the symptoms instead of the cause.

Davvero una prospettiva interessante, proprio vero che spesso mettiamo in tasca le nostre insicurezze...

I kind of carry a lot of stuff. Pretty much just trial and error over the years. I won't carry multiple items on one pocket though. Definitely spreads the weight.

OHHH shiiit i have the OLFA black one in my edc pack nice one bro

Hi Alex! Your attitude/mind set is awesome. I’d love to easy a video showing what you can make gorilla tape. What you’ve done inside the pouch looks great!! Mission darkness looks like a company worth checking out especially these days. Thanks for sharing my friend. Subscribed 🤛🏻

Iv said it before but your colour grading is awesome. Dark and moody, reminds of STALKER and METRO series. Post Nuclear Russian fallout winter :)

I've been in a debate with myself because I've fallen into carrying three knives: a locking all purpose folder, a SAK (mostly for the other tools), and a small utility blade holder. I find there's times i want all three with me, but i hate redundancy. Everything else i carry is simple, keys, wallet, phone, ccw.

Olaf’s blades are so sharp. Good choice/idea to carry that. Love the gorilla tape tool carry you made. Nice! I made a “massage tool” from some hazel wood similar shape to your Mr. I don’t know. Can use it for personal protection. I got the idea from Lee Morrison at @UrbanCombatives Enjoyed your video, Mr. W 😉👍🏼

thanks for useful video. i liked the gorilla tape hack on cord so don't have to to put it down while actually using it. and the pockets in the bag for picks etc. i would personally add a chem fishing night light to the inside of bag but otherwise agree with it all. look forward to seeing more videos 👍and will have to see how you made that mini ceramic knife blade

Thank you. I often carry two knives. Always the Victorinox Midnite Manager, and one larger UK legal knife. Unless I am working in my garden and then it might not be UK legal carry (usually a locking blade for safety or a utility knife). Great video, practical EDC.

Great video. We carry very similar EDC gear🔥🔥🔥🔥

👍 Excellent video!

Thank you! While I love all the gadgets from other edc youtubers.. You are very legit, to the point with only necessary stuff. Please, I dont live in the wild, so I don't really see a point of carrying 7 blades (2 in pockets, 2 in pouch, 1 almost machete-sized in your backpack and a Rambo knife in the car... Like why?), 3 flash lights? Really? You're stepping out of your house a 10am and returning at 1pm...why would anyone (who's NOT working) need 3 flashlights?) I've never seen ANYONE pack tp. Never. Not one.

Clean and simple

My EDC: Keys. Wallet. Phone. Sometimes eye drops and a handkerchief. My wallet contains guitar picks, cuz you just never know.

My brother 🙌🏼 Your videos are amazing !! They’re simple , direct and full of knowledge ! Thanks for sharing with us ! Btw , I wanted to ask , in one of your videos you were using a stone grey fjallraven singi 48 ? Cheers from Japan !!!

I finally found someone who carried real useful items instead of three maniac knives. Thank you for the great video! It was very helpful. But, maybe it's just me, this videos volume is too low. I think it would be easier to watch if you turned up the volume (or gain?) a little more!

Great video!!! I'll use your tips for my new edc kit. Thank you!!! (one question :are you Italian?)

Thank you!

Very nice video. The lighting is kinda dark and making it hard to see things clearly but excellent work. Quality video brother. 👍

Wow this is ACE. ❤

Outstanding video. I think I would just add some band-aids. I understand the thought behind using glue, but I think it would be ok to add a few band-aids to your rotation since they weigh next to nothing and come in handy quite a bit.

In my pocket all I carry is my phone, my swiss army knife [unless i'm out and about in which case it's in my backpack], wallet (including a fresnel lens), a magnifier, (I have close to no near vision) and a micro flashlight. But my most used item is a small pry tool (gerber shard) which I use in a 'claw' fashion to open pull tab cans, rip through the fabric tape of delivery boxes, etc. My finger nails are damaged by health conditions so can't use my nails like most people can ... hence the shard. My backpack on the other hand is quite loaded. A water bottle, USB battery, charger, laptop, bluetooth mouse, prescription meds for a couple of days in case I can't make it home, headlamp, face masks (immunocompromised), hand and surface wipes, lip balm, eye drops, three pairs of glasses (eyes again), another magnifier, fountain pens and some stationery, and two folded fabric bags in case I drop by the shops on my way home.

Plus a always carry my leather man but separately

Bro.. finally a serious edc content. Keep going

Thanks for the video, where did you get that coat that you are wearing in the video?

Yes please on the gorilla tape tutorial!!

Nice vid, thanks for share your EDC, where I can find a Mr I dont know? Thanks

Great vid mate, I’ve culled a lot from my carry over the years. What’s your favourite SAK?

great video I'd like to see you building stuff with gorilla tape :D that sounds fun

Nice video! What do you use to write in Your notebook?

those little charger, I never use and you have to always charge them or they are dead if you need it, may as well charge your phone before ya go as to charge that before you go. how do always carry it if it has to be on the charger for hours. Have you ever actually 'had' to use it or die? how often have you been in daily situation where you writing something down in the rain saved you? few people will ever use most of these things on a daily basis or at all.

lockpicking kit+couple of knife+flashlight+dark suit and cap = perfect EDC for a home thief : if the police or carabinieri take you for a simple check they will ask you several questions

Good video, Alex. Maybe I’ll do a video of my edc.

Nothing wrong with carrying 2 knives on occasion. Since you arent allowed or just dont carry a gun ,id carry more than 1 knife.

AMAZING VIDEO!!!!---> Greetings from The Netherlands--->Saluti dai Paesi Bassi

Bravo 😉👌🏽

Maybe you could sell that micarta tactical stick. I did like it a lot! U only have knives in your shop, please add this stick.

What kind of knife and name of the big knife? Great video!

Greetings Wander, I am one of you old customers from Australia, hope you are well.

I'm not trying to be negative, but if you have that self defense weapon (the micarta sitck that you showed) in the pouch, it's kind of useless. You should have it where you have quick and easy access to it to be able to use it effectively. Just a thought.

You can also use that roll of tape inside your palm to punch someone. It makes the hit like a brick.

I really like your jacket were can i get one?

What’s that Fjallraven jacket? Looks nice! 👍🏻

Grande, bel lavoro Alex 👍 Se mi fai pure la versione in italiano, prometto di capire meglio tutto 😁👍
