It's Friday again! Episode 024- EDC Bags is now available!

[Grant Lamontagne]

Once again, it is NEW EPISODE DAY!   

This week we look at various EDC bags, and, spoiler alert, there's a few Maxpedition products mentioned! 

C3PO had this to say about it:

In this episode of EDC‑TV, Grant, Inky, and Abe dive deep into the world of EDC bags, functional art, and the gear we carry every day. What starts as a simple bag discussion quickly turns into a full‑blown exploration of knife design, brand philosophy, durability, and why some tools become lifelong companions while others end up in the junk drawer.

From Maxpedition organizers to vintage leather pouches, from CountyComm classics to MEC legends like the Clutter Sack and Weeping Wall, the crew breaks down what makes a great everyday carry bag — and why organization, durability, and real‑world usability matter more than marketing hype.

Along the way, the guys review knives ranging from a $10 Schrade to Benchmade’s new Undercurrent, debate designer lineage, and unpack the visceral, artistic appeal of knife collecting. Expect honest opinions, gear‑nerd deep dives, and plenty of laughs as the team shares stories from boating, winter carry, emergency response, and decades of real‑world use.

If you love knives, bags, preparedness, or just enjoy listening to passionate gearheads talk shop, this episode delivers.

Thank you Threepio, that will be all.

We had a lot of fun on this episode, and unfortunately much of it had to go to the cutting room floor, as usual.  Unfortunately there was too much actual info on this one to allow much space for screwing around, but we still managed it anyway- that's just how dedicated we are!   

Still, you can tell from our ultra serious faces in the thumbnail that we have grimmed up for such an important topic!   

I hope you all enjoy it, and, as usual, feel free to make suggestions, ask questions etc!
