Appreciate the review, but the star is your video style. The scenes, the framing, tempo, music. How you demo the use of the bag, how you showcase it. Bravo🎉
Thank you so much! This might be the nicest comment ever! I put a ton into all of those things so I’m super glad you noticed the effort!
Thank you finally someone talking about USING the bp not just reivewing it
Thank you for watching and glad it’s useful!
Great year. Keep them coming. 👏
Thank you! You got it!
TSA will not just let you open the bag to get your laptop through the scanner. You will have to remove it. Plus, the bag opened up like that will not fit in the scanner bin. I don’t understand why tomtoc advertises this as a feature.
I’ll try it next time and report back!
It is Fits for Personal item ?
Probably too big for a personal item. It could work as a carry on though for a lot of airlines.
@@outenthelights I askd my most used airline and they told me the max height of personal item is 56cm / 22 inch so It can be used as personal item Massive W
Woah that’s awesome!!
I would consider putting the shoes in a plastic bag or something before putting them in the pack. Because unless the shoes are new…that’s yuck! Think about all the public bathrooms those shoes may have stepped through.
Yeah I’ll bring a shoe bag usually. This bag is nice because you can easily clean that front pocket after your trip!
I just love your videos! Please keep them up!
Thank you for the kind words! Just getting started!
@@outenthelights great!
Two weeks. One bag. No pants?
That’s right! Just the ones I was wearing!
@ ah, minimalistic! But there was still space for a pair of pants, or two?
Absolutely still space in there for a few pair of pants! Lots of space in this bag!
Nice sweatshirt.
Thanks! One of the best concert venues around!
Nice! Happy anniversary, and look forward to seeing more!
Thank you for the continued support!!
Great video. See you soon on the podcast
Thanks, Bo! See you soon!
Congrats! You’re doing a great job! I started watching close to your first packing video and I love watching and seeing what you pack, also fantastic music
Thanks so much for the continued support!!
congrats on making it to bo’s podcast, looking forward to it 😊
Thanks so much! Should be super fun!
Congratulations on one year! Please keep making these videos.
Thanks so much! Hope to make even more videos in year two! And add in some more informal ones like this too!
❤
Good as a decicaded work backpack especially if you're in tech. As an EDC kind of restricted in terms of the slim main compartment. For example if you're shopping at retail/grocery store, or farmers market you can't really put much in the backpack
Yeah I’d agree with this. Definitely more for work than it is for grocery shopping. Still a great bag!
Isnt it a little dirty to place your shoes in that front pouch?
Nah, I don’t think so. The bag is easy to clean between uses too. If you are concerned, you can use a cloth shoe bag too and then put them in there!
Thanks for your response! What's your height? I'm 5.5@@outenthelights
Of course! I’m 5’9” but I do think it’ll fit some 5’5” well too!
tomtoc indeed makes good products. I got a sling from them. By the way, that's a nice street you filming.
They really do! The fall colors are so nice right now here!
This video was so relaxing and informative
Thanks so much for watching!
I own this bag as well. Took it for 1 week travel, but had access to free laundry at my brother's home so maybe could've used a personal item sized version.
Yeah I’m curious about the smaller 28L version!
Woo, a video on a bag I actually own! Love the Navigator, great looks, great price and makes me want to get out there more.
Really enjoying tomtoc products! Such good value!
I love that you always bring a handheld game console with you. Reminds me of Retro Game Corps lol
Haha love the handhelds! In the video game video I did, I wore an old punk shirt as an homage to Retro Game Corps ha. His videos are the best!
Air playing the whole of Moon Safari sounds dreamy. For me, it's a certified Millennial classic. It was my ex's favorite album, and a cafe near me used to have it on repeat. I feel extremely nostalgic right now, so thanks for that. :) I love these little reflective elements in your packing videos.
Totally agree with it being a classic! So happy to share in the nostalgia!
Good effort with the weight! In New Zealand and Australia we often have a weight limit of 7kg for carry on and personal item combined, so it sometimes means checking the weight of every item, especially the bag itself and electronics before deciding what to bring.
Wow I didn’t realize it was that strict in NZ and AU! That does make it really tough!
Nice space you have there. I have a switch lite as well. So cool to see a bag that can fits a switch nicely
Yeah it works so well for a switch!
Too expensive. Might as well save up for a Tumi
I think these are just as good as tumis at half the price!
😂 just as good?
This vs the Inatek competitor?
I’ve never tried an Inatek product before. Any good?
@outenthelights yeah it's really good and cheaper but they look basically identical. I wonder if the extra is worth it for the TomToc
Interesting! I’ll have to look more into the brand! Tomtoc quality is really nice though. Was really surprised at how nice it is for the price. I have another review on a backpack of theirs coming this week.
Pretty impressive for small bum bag. I wish to see how woman would pack it, for example your partner. Maybe you could include her stuff in the next packing videos.
I’ll see what I can do!
I really liked this video! First time on your channel, was looking up some personal item only tips for an upcoming trip. Really nice editing style and camerawork, easy to follow! Bag content wise, here’s a couple things I like to keep in mine: -small pack of tissues -Gum for the plane (so hopefully my ears don’t pop!) -small microfiber lens cloth for glasses and electronics -I have a little OTC meds pouch, I use the smallest Tom Bihn Ghostwhale pouch and in it is some DayQuil, chewable pepto, and a few bandaids -Nanobag! This has been so good for walking around with just a sling, never know when you’ll end up in a store or with leftovers etc and it has come in handy so many times -If its a longer day trip, I do a MagSafe battery for my phone, and -InCharge XL cable - This is mostly for rescuing others, but it’s USB A or C on one side, and the other has USB C / microUSB/Lightning. Works with the MagSafe battery so I can spot charge anything I happen to have with me, or help out whoever I come across. -If its a really long day, Anker 100w 3 in one wall charger and USB C cable just so I have some more options but generally the battery is more than enough until I get back to the hotel etc later on Thanks for the video and have a good one! Definitely inspires me to want to make some content of my own!
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate the support! Great packing list! I definitely need to add in the battery pack to mine in the future, good call there! Also the Nanobag is a great idea!
wat too many underpants, two will be the best amount three the most. bringing too many clothing means accumulation of dirty clothing.
It’s the right amount for me!
does that pouch fit in the tomtoc sling? seems a bit too big…
It does but I don’t use it for that. This video is more of just a roundup of recent EDC gear I’ve been using.
Great video. I appreciate your advice. I couldn't read the text for each item. Can you post in your description? I have the 42 litre version of your bag. I love it, but I wish I had gotten the smaller size now.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, sorry about the text size! Learned to make that bigger in the newer video ha. 42 is definitely large! I’m all about longer term travel with smaller bags by utilizing sink laundry.
@@outenthelights For my last two 2w trips, I took enough clothes for 5 days and arranged to stay in a hotel for 2 nights and sent my laundry out. That works for me. I am going to dial it back even more as I didn't wear a couple of items I took.
That’s awesome! Super minimal!
impecable videos a always
Thank you for watching and supporting!
Keep doing, what you do! - very professional videos.. love it!
Thanks so much for the support!
I love it when packing videos put everything on the bed first, thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Great video and thank you for showing us your packing style. I tend to "borrow" other packing styles, but your setup worked well. I have to admit though, that I see this smaller Max EDC and can't help but prefer using my AC Max 30L for travelling. Not just because of the capacity but because everything is designed so well. I can definitely see this smaller Max EDC appealing to a lot of people looking for a smaller bag for travel. Best regards!
Thanks for watching! And totally agree on the regular Max backpack, it’s probably a better choice for long term travel. The Max EDC is definitely more set up for everyday use but I think it works well for a long weekend trip!
Have you tried the 20L venture ready pack?
I actually reached out to Bellroy but they denied me. I think they might only work with creators with larger follower counts. Hopefully in the future!
Does this qualify as a personal item & will it fit under the seat in an aircraft? Thanks great video 😃
Thanks so much for watching! It will depend on the airline. Probably not for budget ones like Spirit or Frontier but I think you’ll be able to for United or American.
I've litteraly brought a full carry on size duffel backpack for united and no one even blinked. They don't care at all if you are in an early boarding group
Yeah I feel like this is the general sentiment for most airlines other than the extreme budget ones.
Another great video. Would love to chat with you on my podcast. If you would be interested in being a guest on my podcast, please let me know
Thanks, Bo! Would love to be a guest! Feel free to send me an email at outenthelightsllc@gmail.com to discuss more.
Does a small tech pouch, like the wandrd small, Alpaka mini tech case, Bellroy small tech pouch, etc fit in the laptop compartment?
Sure does! Not in the admin pocket but you can put it above your computer in there!
@@outenthelights thanks!! I am using the Bellroy transit workpack, and this backpack seems to solve a few of the issues that one has (better harness/straps, better handles), so really interested in this one
You got it! Yeah I love Able Carry bags because they all have a really solid build and are so comfortable to carry!
How roomy is the front shoe compartment? Can it fit hi-top shoes?
It’s decent! I think you could, just gotta maneuver them in kind of sideways.
Impressive, I have to admit. Is this backpack available in Europe? Maybe you know, since you are partnering with the brand.
Yeah I believe they do ship to Europe! They have a pretty small list of stockists but if you buy from their site, it shouldn’t be a problem then.
I know the focus of the vid was on the AC Max EDC bag but I gotta say, I absolutely love this style of video! Showing the different carry options really hit home for me because I am someone that uses a 26L bag daily (work/gym/travel). Awesome job!!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
Is this bag too big to use as a personal item on a plane?
I think it depends which airline you fly. I’d say probably too big for the budget ones like Spirit or Frontier but you’ll honestly probably be good for United or American.
Thanks for the vid, it's been helpful. Even with your pretty minimal travel setup, it doesn't look like the bag can fit a lot of clothes. I'm also curious how it would take the packing cubes. My use case would be 2 PD packing cubes (one small and one medium) and a dopp kit. Still split between the Max EDC and CTB26 :(
Thank you for the continued support! Yeah you’re spot on - basically two packing cubes and a dopp kit will be what’s going to fit. Haha it’s a tough decision. If you’re willing to spend a little more, I recently tried out the Pioneer Panda Pack which I thought was pretty awesome too for two week travel!
@@outenthelights yeah, I'm fine spending up to $500 if a bag is gonna last me a decade (I'm currently using a GR1 that I bought back in 2014 and it's still going strong). Max EDC has the sexiest looks on the market IMO. Especially that combination of olive green and beige internal lining. They even put nice touches of orange on the zipper pulls… CTB26 looks more like a regular backpack but has its own low-key aesthetic to it + it has a very thoughtful internal organization and most compartments have their own volume. Geez, it's tough… Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out the Pioneer bag as well
Definitely a tough decision! Let me know what you end up with!
@@outenthelights I will!
@@outenthelights Hey mate, just wanted to let you know that I ended up buying the Max EDC in olive green. I haven't traveled with it yet but it looks and feels absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful and functional bag that looks very well made.
Thanks great video. 2 weeks is definitely doable but not much extra space. Have you used a new mic? Your voice seems slightly different than usual?
Yeah definitely using every last inch for two week travel! Actually, just getting over a cold - lost my voice earlier this week ha. Hopefully back to normal by next weeks vid!
