Together, they explore the theme of preparedness, discussing items that make great gifts for dads but also serve practical purposes in everyday life.

The podcast kicks off with a focus on everyday carry (EDC) items, such as pocket knives and flashlights. Matt and Tim share their favorite EDC tools, highlighting the importance of finding the right balance between quality and functionality. Matt discusses his love for his Benchmade Auto knife, while Tim praises the versatility of his Leatherman Juice CS4 multi-tool.

When it comes to flashlights, both Matt and Tim are fans of Olight products. Matt recommends the Olight i5t, a compact flashlight powered by a single AA battery, while Tim prefers the Four Sevens Mini CR2 MH for its brightness and compact size.

In addition to steel, fire, and light, Tim emphasizes the importance of carrying a pen and notepad, as well as a handkerchief, which he considers essential for any man. Matt shares his strategy for carrying keys, opting for a minimalist approach with a KeySmart key organizer and a separate key fob for his vehicle.
