Spring 2026 EDC Pocket Dump Simplified 🧳

Simplifying my everyday carry for spring 2026. This is what I'm carrying and why . This is from my perspective as a former MARSOC Marine Raider, Scout Sniper, and current SWAT operator. I'm into protection, life-saving equipment, not fidget toys. Every item on this table earned its spot.

In this video I walk you through my updated EDC loadout for spring 2026 including some new gear, honest comparisons, and the reasoning behind how I set up my kit based on years of real-world experience.

GEAR COVERED:
• Montana Knife Company War Goat Mini: fixed blade, ring loop, centerline carry
• Benchmade Mini Freak: still in the rotation after years
• Glock 48 MOS: Cerakote Midnight Bronze, Holosun 507K, Griffin Arms Comp, Streamlight TLR-7 Sub
• Eclipse Holster: the new standard for me
• Snakestaff Systems ETQ 2.0
• Streamlight Wedge XT: slim, rechargeable, 500 lumens
• RovyVon keychain light: small, bright, always on me
• POM Pepper Spray: less lethal option and why I carry it offhand
• Gatorz Magnum sunglasses: polarized
• Groove Life wallet (via Warrior Poet Society)
• Warrior Poet Society / Next Belt: designed for concealed carry
• Direct Action Apparel EDC tray

KEY TOPICS:
• Why I set up pepper spray on my offhand side and the science behind it
• Eclipse vs Tier One holster and my honest side-by-side comparison for retention
• How your operational environment should dictate your gear setup
• Why a sharp mind and a fit body are the most important things you carry
