Summary

Sean Ryan presents his everyday carry (EDC) equipment in what he claims is his final EDC video, featuring personal items with sentimental value, security and privacy tools, and a new unreleased SIG Sauer P385 pistol. The video includes personal anecdotes about his past, spiritual items, and detailed explanations of gear choices developed over his career as a CIA contractor and former Navy SEAL.

Ryan walks through his complete everyday carry setup, beginning with everyday necessities like his phone and watch, then progressing to sentimental items that have followed him throughout his military and CIA contracting career. He shares several personal stories, including a humorous anecdote about his wife's mother-in-law discovering they had purchased a personal wellness device called a 'dolphin,' which led to him creating the Glacier privacy app to prevent data brokers from tracking intimate searches.

Ryan showcases multiple watches with significant personal history: a black Rolex GMT that has traveled to Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, and numerous other countries and served as emergency barter currency during his CIA work; and a white gold Rolex Submariner. He explains how he wears valuable, recognizable items like Rolex watches as a tactical tool during CIA operations—able to quickly trade them for transportation or resources without drawing weapons.

The spiritual and sentimental section features several religious items including rosaries blessed by Father Ree Gill from Medjugorje, a Bible-like daily devotional called 'Jesus Speaks' that he reads every morning, and a St. Benedict crucifix used by exorcists. He explains that he recently experienced spiritual difficulties and has been reading prayers of deliverance from Father Ripperger, a world-renowned exorcist.

For weapons and tools, Ryan details his evolution from carrying a Glock 17 during CIA days, to a Glock 19, then the Glock 43 which he modified with skateboard tape for grip, to the SIG Sauer P365 which he credits as revolutionary for its 12-round double-row magazine design. He then moved to the P365 Macro, and now carries the unreleased P385, which he states is the first one outside the factory and features a flat trigger safety, a 'gas pedal' lever, aggressively textured grip, adjustable magazine strap, and direct optic mounting.

Ryan also covers security and privacy technology including the OMG cable (a charger with a chip that can intercept keystrokes and passwords), the Glacier app and WiFi router for secure browsing, and a signal detector for identifying eavesdropping attempts. He emphasizes the importance of carrying a tourniquet and knowing how to use it, sharing a story about one of his team members whose tourniquet saved an elderly woman's life. The video concludes with practical items like flashlights, battery packs, knives from various makers, brass knuckles from Eddie Gallagher, and mentions his Vigilance Elite gummy bears.

Key Insights

  • Ryan used expensive, recognizable watches like Rolex during CIA operations as tactical barter tools—he could quickly trade them for vehicles or resources without revealing weapons, and has never needed to use this tactic despite carrying the watch for this purpose for decades
  • Ryan credits the SIG Sauer P365 as revolutionary in 2018-2019 because it was the first subcompact pistol designed with the magazine first and the gun around it, featuring a 12-round double-row magazine that competitors couldn't replicate
  • Ryan created the Glacier privacy app after his family received targeted advertisements for personal wellness devices on their phones, stemming from a humorous incident where his in-laws confronted him about a 'dolphin' product that was being advertised to their entire network
  • Ryan claims the SIG Sauer P385 is currently the first and only example in the world outside of SIG's factory, and he was given early access to test it approximately two months before the official announcement or release
  • Ryan carries multiple sentimental religious items including rosaries blessed by Father Ree Gill from Medjugorje and a St. Benedict crucifix used by exorcists, and recently read extensive prayers of deliverance due to personal spiritual difficulties over three months

[0:00] No one even knows this weapon exists yet, except for me and the company that made it. This will be the first video in the world to feature this weapon, and I can't wait to tell you about it. Guess what happened to me? Phone. The first Rolex was a black Submariner on a crazy night in Miami, it was a long time ago. I was a different person. It is also a travel knife. I love this thing. I've been wearing it for quite some time now. He opened a bunch of boxes from Amazon. Very powerful. This is probably what everyone has been waiting for. I left [0:30] that for the very end.
