Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many product offers are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Replying to Comments:
I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. This is not just for me as the creator, it is a valuable source of information for all readers of the comments. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes significant time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! So my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live for the first few hours at least, and beyond that when possible. I'll see how that works out 😊

NEW Leatherman Garage #5 - Full Review
I switch from the Cadet to the compact for my EDC. Thanks for reviewing this knife.
Was about to order the Seinxon wallet finder. But found lots of complaints about random pairing issues. Doesn’t sound technically mature…
Great channel ...is the JG badge influenced by Judge Dredd/Strontium Dog...apologies if this has been asked before
Buy used photography bags if you're looking for something similar to the leatherman without the price tag. They're a dime a dozen but with remarkable quality
Wow, thank you! Subscribed!
I got my first Victorinox SAK around 1975, aged 12. It said "Camping" on the scale and had a fully serrated main blade and hawk bill small blade. A saw and the other standard implements. Sadly lost it some years later. I'm fine with the standard red scales, thank you very much.
Not very good knifes, spent over 20 years in the military did not see a single victorinox carried, lots of leathermans though
I love the swiss card scissors
Just all fabulous looking kit. Beautifully curated Jon. A lot of investment to last there - and greatly appreciated!
My edc is the bantam
Sling bags are used by 2 types of people; drug dealers or chavvy teenagers.
It has so much stuff in there that I forget I have it 🙃
Hi jon, brill edc vid like always, if you haven't done one already and I've missed it, could you try and do a all uk made edc, ie trove wallets they look fab great price will get one , but I'd like to see more uk companies making edc, a video on the ones you find would be brilliant.
those tracking cards are a waste of money if i still a wallet im going to check for those thangs and toss em they help nothing just sound good is all
No precision finding on that wallet card with apple find my. No currently manufactured card has precision finding.
The luminox is 500 and not even automatic.
This is very useful. I have done this with a flex drill bag I got when I bought the drill. It fits a 12oz hammer and the Bosch drill. it has the side pockets for easy access to pliers and hand drivers etc. this to me is edc. Because everywhere I go my car is there.
What watch are you wearing?
Really like the look of the T33. Shame it’s not available until the end of August.
The Trove classic wallet is brilliant. I am a user for over five years. Well done for including them.
Bathing will remove up to 40 degrees of survivalibilitiy abilities, It's a smelly fact that is millions of years old. It's definitely offensive in the modern world. It can't be denied. Definitely offensive in the modern world.
Jon. Another great video. Thank you.
The video should have been even longer. I was interested to see how you would organize all that stuff inside the tool bag. Nice video.
A classic 8x,30 Bausch & Lomb or Leitz Binuxit binocular should be part of any gentleman's daily kit!
Hey. Great video. Whats the thin kinda bifold wallet you use in this video? Looks really nice!
Had my Trove wallet for 3 years. Superb piece of kit
As always Marcus, great vid. On the rare day I remote work from my routine is, up, vitamins, feed dogs,walk dogs and then fill the 33 fluid once cafetiere and ready to sit at my desk😊
Jon; another cracking video. Your presentation style is so approachable, informative and clear, with your personality and the slick editing, you are on your A game. Keep up the brilliant work, always love sitting and enjoying your videos when they pop up. Best wishes.
The Nitecore torch looked good initially as I’m all for simplicity but the 2 light intensities go from one extreme to the other, there should be a third option for “normal use” at maybe 400 lumen
The problem with most sling bags is that they have large buckles and when the bag is a the front of you the buckle is situated on your back or where rucksack straps will be on your front. This makes carrying a sling with a rucksack uncomfortable. The only sling that I know of that doesn't do this is from Heilkon Tex (no affiliation). So I now carry a handbag and most handbags have more comfortable design allowing it to be carried easily and comfortably with a rucksack. Since my sling or handbag always carries my important documents, money and phone I never have it out of sight, it is always in front of me. As an alternative, when traveling on planes, I carry neither a handbag or a sling bag as when they are places in front of me it makes eating on a plane difficult without taking them off, which I never do. Instead of a bag I wear a gillet with lots of pockets and never take it off. On the issue of luggage locaters, I had my checkin bag opened by security when traveling to China because it contained a lithium battery, the one in side my Apple Airtag. They left the airtag inside but left a note too explain that lithium batteries are not allowed.
The biggest problem with sling bags is that you look like an absolute dork wearing one.
@@BadgerBob agreed, utterly ridiculous
Honestly, I disagree. Victorinox still makes exceptional pocket knives. There's not much left to be perfected. They are just great and I understand that it's difficult to make more PRACTICAL tools. The thing is, I have an impression that you expect them to invent some new gimmicks, which is actually a total opposite of the brands DNA, which you claim you want them to preserve, and which is the practical, solid, stainless, mass produced and affordable pocket knife. I think their DNA is perfectly fine, they make a lot of pocket knives, still have the good old models and tools, don't cut the quality, don't overprice or make it like some luxury item, they introduce some collectors pieces and gimmicks but they don't focus on them. And their customer service is premium quality. Collectors and fans of gadgets never was and shouldn't ever be the company's target customers. Fragrances, suitcases etc. are not important, totally different products, just for spreading the brand and market awareness, also for cross selling.
Glad to see a proper torch for once rather than the gimmicky Wuben crap that always breaks. Nitecore stuff is solid and dependable
Good video as always, noticed a nice Smythson? Notebook there, can you say which one that is?
Good video
Love this ❤
Thanks Ali, hope all is good with you 👍
Wow. Galen Leather is a revelation. Amazing stuff. I’m buying the writing box. Incredible.
My house access card did not work at all with the id holder. Regardless in which slot. I’ve wasted my money on this. Wonder if I can sell this back
I've noticed that here, in Australia, most blokes who carry a small bag, and the number is increasing, tend to go for a "portrait" style who rather than "landscape" style like so many of the slings that you feature I wonder why that is? I think I preferring landscape... Nice pen, but the Space Pen takes some beating with its detachable clip... I have come to regret buying my Anker ten thousand milliamp power bank, I took it on a trip to Europe recently but it was so big and heavy at 175 grams, I really hated it carrying it around in my hand luggage. It's apparent ruggedness appealed to me at the time but I wish I bought the Nightcore NB 10,000 now. I don't think much of the mt2c torch, I don't think "less is more" applies here. Coming on at full brightness is a show stopper as is the omission of a moonlight mode, I've so many reasons not to buy this but I can see it's appeal to some people-security or emergency services perhaps? But in saying that I have stopped expecting everything from an Everyday Carry torch. Consequently, I carry a Rovyvon For EDC and the Phoenix pd32 additionally when I think I'm going to need it. Anticipation is sometimes problematic though. I don't carry a wallet anymore having had the experience of losing one sometime ago and the hassle of replacing all those cards, but finally, I'm very excited about that range of stationary from Turkey and will definitely be investigating that. But thanks for a great video they're always entertaining.
Great stuff as always 😊
Thx Jon! Placed an order.
I need this
I agree with you about the Pioneer X. It has all the most used tools, and especially the inline awl, which is my most-used Swiss Army tool.
Great haul! I’ll certainly consider the T33. I didn’t know until just now I needed a new pen!😂😅😂😅
Galen leather: Great products, super people.
Galen Leather creates wonderful leather products. I’ve been a customer for many years and have never been disappointed. Highly highly recommend. (And it seems you do too Jon 😉)
So glad you gave Galen Leather a shout out! I've a number of their products and they're some of my favorites.
I've been searching for a sling and that tomtoc looks perfect for me, so I appreciate the video! I also love the minimal branding, which is my main complaint with other slings. I'd order it now if only it were still in stock.
My beef with Tomtoc products is the straps are too slippery.
I love Galen Leather. They also make a great EDC Wallet
