In a previous video, I gave a quick introduction to the ROXON Flex. At the time, I hinted that a more in-depth look was coming. The reason I waited was because I had a specific use case in mind, and I needed a few extra implements to arrive before I could build the Flex the…

I Built a Full EDC Kit at Dollar Tree for Under $10
I did it again. I went out to see what kind of full everyday carry kit I could build for $10 or less. Previously, I tried this challenge at Walmart and Harbor Freight. At Walmart, I found everything I was looking for, but I overspent. The final total came to $11.88 before tax. At Harbor…
