New EDC Tech & Pocket Rack™ Prototype For a Next Level Mini Everyday Carry Kit

Welcome back to Earthling EDC! In today's video we're taking a repurposed shotgun shell pouch and packing it with an insane amount of capability using a Pocket Rack™ EDC organizer. Forget bulky bags – this kit is small but brings the tools you actually need!

  • A NEW test prototype (not yet released) made of Acrylic, laser cut, Pocket Rack™ EDC organizer. 
  • The newly released mini G5 EDC flashlight from Wuben with a detailed report on this truly ground breaking design.
  • At about 1 square inch, " Thermal Master" calls this the worlds smallest thermal camera. Is it worth adding it to your EDC kit? Let me show you what it can do.
  • A lighter version of the highly versatile Mini Flagship multitool from Nextool might just become your go to watch pocket tool.
  • New EDC "Pod" storage & custom aluminum tanks for storing all the little things you need on your Pocket Rach™ EDC organizer.
  • Why I'm leaving that orange "D2" $9.97 Walmart knife at home and what I replaced it with. The reason might surprise you...
  • A few choice double sided bits from the new Nextool bit set made an interesting addition to my Steinwhale bit kit.
  • Nitecore just released a brand new battery bank called the NB Air. Highly water resistant AND uses a single USB C port for charging and discharging. Keep it in your mini kit as backup for your phone and your G5 flashlight.
  • Clamping Mini titanium tweezers? For around $3 
  • AND we'll review how some old friends are doing, including the 711 mini ratchet with extender, the Mini Cobra XS from Knipex, telescoping EDC pen, generic charging cable, Bic mini lighter.
