  EDC Book Report | Who Knew These Guys Could Read? (EP 044)

  Aug 20, 202656 minS1

  In this episode of EDC‑TV , Grant sits down with long‑time Multitool.org member John “Kirky” Kirkwood for a deep dive into everyday carry philosophy- from tiny keychain knives to the psychology behind why we carry what we carry. We crack open Jim Cobb’s new book Common Sense Everyday Carry and explore some of its biggest ideas, including the Three‑Layer EDC System (on‑body, off‑body, vehicle) and the concept of “talismans of safety” aka the gear people carry but don’t actually know how to use. Along the way, we compare the Spyderco Ladybug to the Byrd Finch , talk UK pricing pain, revisit infamous oddities like the Lansky World Legal Knife , and reminisce about legendary multitools like the Gerber MP600 and SOG PowerLock . Expect strong opinions, good‑natured ribbing, and a whole lot of gear talk. If you enjoy EDC discussions, knife nerdery, or just watching Grant and Kirky roast questionable design choices… this one’s for you.

  Bug Out Bags and Bad Decisions | Real World Experiences (EP 043)

  Aug 13, 202651 minS1

  When zombie outbreaks only happen in the U.S. (according to Grant’s extensive movie research), you know it’s time for a serious conversation about bug‑out bags . Or at least as serious as EDC TV ever gets. In this episode, Grant, Inky Chris, and Kirky dive into: What a bug‑out bag really is Why comfort matters more than tacticool gear The chaos of real emergencies such as blackouts, floods, terrorist attacks and spilled root beer What to pack so you’re ready for 24–72 hours of “get the F out of there” The importance of spare clothes once you’re over 40 Surviving Canadian winters (spoiler: fire is not optional) And of course… knives. Including Grant’s new Kershaw Align and a very honest review of the Victorinox Synergy. It’s practical, it’s ridiculous, it’s relatable and it’s exactly why you watch EDC TV. If you’ve ever wondered whether your bug‑out bag is enough… or whether you should even bother… this episode is for you. #EDCTV #BugOutBag #EDCCommunity #Preparedness #SurvivalGear #EverydayCarry #Multitool #KershawKnives #Victorinox #KnifeReview #EmergencyPreparedness #EDCTalk #PodcastEpisode #OutdoorGear #UrbanSurvival

  Abnormal EDC Items | Inky and Kirky Together Finally (EP 042)

  Aug 6, 202646 minS1

  Episode 042 – Abnormal EDC: The Everyday Carry Items You Don’t Expect In this episode of EDC‑TV , Grant, Inky, and John dive into the wonderfully strange world of abnormal everyday carry —the tools, trinkets, and personal items people keep with them that fall way outside the usual knives, flashlights, and multitools. We kick things off with the weekly “What’s New?” segment, where Kirky talks about the SOG PowerPint, Inky shows off a hilariously packaged knockoff Microtech, and Grant shares a compact DeWalt laser measure that leads perfectly into tonight’s theme. From there, the crew explores the unconventional side of EDC: John’s dowsing pendulum and poppy badge Inky’s full‑size scissors , A.G. Russell tweezers, and pocket crystals Grant’s plastic calipers , emergency weather radio, and long‑serving Maxpedition gear Plus sewing kits, makeup brushes, trail mix, consumables, and other oddball items that make everyday life easier It’s a fun, relaxed conversation full of stories, laughs, and genuinely useful ideas for expanding your own carry beyond the basics. If you carry something unusual, meaningful, or just plain weird, drop it in the comments, or better yet, join the discussion at forum.Multitool.org . Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you next week! #EDCTV #EverydayCarry #EDCCommunity #EDCgear #PocketDump #GearTalk #Multitool #KnifeCommunity #KnifeTalk #AbnormalEDC #WeirdEDC #UniqueCarry #UnexpectedEDC #GearDiscussion #EDCShow #EDCConversation #SOGPowerPint #MicrotechKnives #PetrifiedFishKnives #KanseptKnives #RoughRiderKnives #LeeValleyTools #Maxpedition #LaserMeasure #Calipers #ConstructionLife #ToolTalk #PodcastLife #PodcastCommunity #CreatorsCorner #YouTubePodcast

  Kirky's Back | EDC Watches Worth Wearing (EP 041)

  Jul 23, 202653 minS1

  What makes a watch worthy of being part of your Everyday Carry? In Episode 041 of EDC-TV , Grant Lamontagne is joined once again by special guest John "Kirky" Kirkwood for a wide-ranging conversation about the watches that earn a permanent place on your wrist. From rugged Casio G-Shocks and affordable field watches to Seikos, Swatches, smartwatches, and everything in between, they explore what really matters in an EDC watch. This isn't a discussion about luxury or status, it's about reliability, practicality, and the stories that your gear collects along the way. Along the way, the conversation wanders (as EDC-TV and Multitool.Org conversations often do!) into Swiss Army knives, multitools, watch modifications, NATO straps, military gear, collecting, and why the best piece of equipment is the one you'll actually use. Whether you're a dedicated watch enthusiast, a casual wearer, or just looking for your next dependable everyday companion, there's something here for you. In this episode you'll hear about: What makes a great EDC watch Why Casio G-Shocks have earned their legendary reputation Watch modifications and personalization Field watches vs. dive watches vs. smartwatches Budget-friendly watches that punch above their price The stories and memories that make everyday gear special How watches fit into a complete EDC philosophy Why "wear what you love, and love what you wear" may be the best advice of all.

  Bladeless EDC | Chatting with Kirky (EP 040)

  Jul 16, 202657 minS1

  This week’s episode is a special one, not just because of the topic (which is definitely a good one!), but because of the guest. I’m joined by long‑time forum member John Kirkwood , known to all of us as Kirky , who’s been part of Multitool.org since 2011 . For our 20th Anniversary , it felt right to bring in someone who embodies the spirit, humor, and history of the community. We kick things off the way only EDC‑TV can, with me stumbling through the intro (I always screw up the intros…) and Kirky warming up with a conversation that’s equal parts gear talk, nostalgia, and genuine friendship. From there, we explore the wonderfully weird world of bladeless EDC , including Kirky’s custom mods, his professional life, the tools that saved his sanity, and occasionally his job. You’ll hear stories about: The bladeless Fuse he rebuilt with Wave drivers The legendary KST, aka the Kirky Survival Tool His modified Sideclip (“heresy to some people…”) The modern options like the Nextool Mini Sailor Lite and Roxon Mini‑Flex Companion And yes… even the Gerber Armbar Mini But this episode is also a love letter to the community. We reminisce about the old UK meetups with exotic animals on the barbecue, and call out names many of us haven’t heard in years: Benner , Dunc , Gareth , Taxi Dad (Micheal) , Magic Bus (Chris) , Al , Paul , Dave K , and so many more. If you were ever part of Multitool.org , you’re part of this story. As Kirky puts it, “Names are funny things.” And after 20 years of Multitool.org , the names (and the people behind them!) are what made this place special. Whether you’re new to the forum or you’ve been with us since the old SOSAK days, this episode is a celebration of everything we’ve built together. #EDCTV #MultitoolOrg #20Years #AnniversaryEpisode #EDCCommunity #NonBladedEDC #Multitools #SwissArmyKnife #Kirky #EDCGear #EverydayCarry #GearTalk #KnifeCommunity #ToolNerds #PodcastLife #EDCContent #ForumFamily #EDCHistory
