Caution about the Matador FlatPak bottles: liquids, like conditioners, that have alcohol can slowly dissolve the adhesive of the seams along the bottle cap. I've had a few that have leaked because of this. I now fill mine with a shampoo+conditioner that doesn't have alcohol in it.
Yeah, I purchased a bunch of them because I loved the concept, and they were really cool and I could fit in more of them than other bottles, until they started leaking right where you said. Also, the inner lining started to peel away from the outer fabric after just a few uses. I wanted to love them so much, but they caused too many messes in my toiletries kit, and I sadly had to go back to Humangear’s Go-toobs. Which I’m not knocking, they’re awesome bottles. Just bulky.
Merino wool is amazing, no doubt. I own two 100% Merino wool t-shirts, and have previously owned much more expensive Ibex and Smartwool t-shirts/sweatshirts. With that being said, I would not recommend buying merino wool clothes unless you're fine with buying them constantly. They get holes in them after a short period of time. This isn't a brand/how well they're made thing, it's the nature of merino wool. It's incredibly weak material. It's also very expensive considering it doesn't last long. I use the 2 shirts I have only when I know it's going to be a sweaty day. That way they last significantly longer.
Thanks for taking the time to make this! I found a few things I might like to add. Everyone’s Kit is personal to them but like you, I like to collect things as I see them. One thing I like to bring is a pair of tsa complaint travel scissors and a binder clip. I use the binder clip to either keep the hotel room curtains closed or to clip my passport and valuables somewhere in the room where they are safe from theft.
@AtHomeInTheFuture the Victorinox SAK Jetsetter is a great little TSA compliant tool. It's like the Classic, but without a blade. It has a small pair of scissors, a little Phillips screwdriver+bottle opener multi-tool, and the ubiquitous toothpick and tweezers. You could also throw in a Victorinox Swiss Card with the blade removed or replaced with a file. Fantastic little multi-tool.
I would add a victorinox jettsetter and a small dry bag. The victorinox is bladeless and TSA approved. The small scissors are very useful when traveling and can solve a lot of problems when you dont have your normal edc multitool or knife. The toothpick is also great when eating out at restaurants a lot. A dry bag is great for the trip home if youre packing a wet swim suit or sweaty clothes that you dont want packed with the rest of your dirty laundry. It can also be used as a laundry wash bucket since many hotel drains dont actually hold water enough to wash clothes in the sink. Or even just as a backup stuff sack/org pouch for items in your day pack with added bonus of waterproof protection
Re. scissors - only within the US I think; possibly Europe. If you're travelling within Asia Pacific, forget it. Your scissors + even the smallest pen knives will be confiscated.
Totally I like doing my laundry when traveling or quick home use and can even use the dry sack instead of packing cube. I just bring a length of paracord rope with some beads on it it’s Copy cat of S2S for way cheaper. I love merino wool! The briefs or boxers are the best not cheap or as durable as other items of merino I’ve had for a decade even socks so it’s not always easy to get holes just depends on thickness
Great video! It feels like most EDC videos cover the exact same multitools, knipex, flashlight, knife, etc and there's often nothing new other than small variations on which knife to carry. But this video gave me a TON of new ideas I had never heard of. FYI you can replace the multiple different USB cables with 2-3 USBC-USBC cables plus adapters for lightning and microUSB. Takes up the same amt of room as individual cables, but you then have the ability to charge multiple USB-C devices at once, since most of us will need more than one cable when charging at night.
Haha, a lot of the gear from the first segment or two just happens to come from there (they have some pretty awesome stuff - killer store). Most of the gear in the bag came from Amazon/some of the subs I cover/birthday gifts over the years. I have a LOT of gear :-) Links to everything are in the description.
I love your EDC travel video! As a female, I have some needs that vary from yours. However, I really love a lot of your recommendations. I especially love that toiletries kit. All the female suggestions show these enormous 3-compartments kits. I don’t know how they fit anything else in their bags! I love the self care stuff too! 🫶🏽👍🏽👏🏽
Id put a single trashbag in your EDC. Useful for: leave no trace, AND its a poncho/gear water proofer if needed. It weighs/costs nothing and is super useful. A large ziplock is also good for dealing with a ton of situations.
You didn't go overkill with the first aid kit. I carry everything shy of chest seal and quick clot. Having creams, ointments and gauze can save you HOURS and keep you safe until you can get to those who help. Even in the US, help can be far away, and simply keeping a wound pain-free and clean is a lot. great work!
Great video!! I hate that people are upset over cost or what brand you use. I feel like people forget they have autonomy of their own selves and don’t have to do exactly what you do lol. I appreciate the inspiration behind your EDC vids, especially as a beginner! ❤
Hey thanks! For whatever reason, a small group of people that watches this type of videos assume that they’re all meant to be a “budget” guide. My videos are always about the stuff I enjoy the most, which doesn’t always correlate with the cheapest options out there, so that’s where most of the negative comments come from, haha
I have a 23L Fjallraven backpack. And because I travel mostly around Europe, I have stopped carrying all the just in case items. Can recommend 1L transparent toiletry bag(if you don't carry much), carbon fiber belt buckle(no need to take it of at security check) and clothes for 3 days + what you travel in. Merino wool is good for hiking but not great for the city, I usually carry one merino t-shirt just in case. I don't see an umbrella, or folding shopping bag(Peak Design packable tote is great). My back weights 3,5Kg without, or 4,5Kg with laptop. On cloud shoes look interesting.
Really smart items in your list! The one thing I would add which is something I travel with all the time is a 16-20oz thin metal insulated drink bottle(mine is from Starbucks). This way while on your trip you can use it for keeping drinks hot(like morning coffee or tea) or cold while you're out all day. 👍
Pretty good set up. A few things I always include for medical is a SWAT T, 3 in one tourniquet, compression wrap to have on me at all times. From a wastepack to everything else. Packs so small and thin, why not, saves lives! Weighs 4 ounces, 5.83x3.03x1.22 inches. Everyone should consider this and for every member of their family. Toss in a few packets of Blood Stop, also very tiny. Tape them on the package wrap. Even for a dogs pack, lol. Out walking, twist an ankle or old knee injury haunts you, you're covered. And it's waterproof. Look up all the uses.....the directions are printed on this band, and you can cut strips off these. It's rubber. I carry a tiny Nighcore NU 125 headlamp with the shock cord band, self explanitory. So small I can wear around my neck and sleep with it especially. I have a SOL slim howler whistle tied into the shock cord band. Also self expanitory. Think earthquakes...or getting lost. I bring my Be Free water filter by Katadyn with a 2L Hydropak 'Seeker' bladder attached and I have this stashed in a nylon packable bottle sling with a dropper bottle of electrolytes in the bag's little pocket. Saved my a$% a few times. I have atleast a small or mini victorinox ( you can get the Jet Setter style for planes) has small scissors that work well, bottle opener, small screw driver, tooth pic, tweezer, you have a chance at fixing tec or glasses. I keep in my pocket and I have a Leathermam Squirt ( they also have a blade free version) for the plyers. I have used these for sewing through thick material to grabbing hot things off a fire. I have 2 decent big eyed stainless sewing needles one thicker one thin that I taped on a plastic store card. On either side I rolled on some Gorilla tape and some Leuko tape (for blisters, medical use) and on top of the needles I wound up some thin white thread and some heavy guage thread. Enough to repair a pack, clothes, etc. Toss this in a little 3x3 zip with a one shot mini super glue and a square of Gaffers tape. Instant tiny repair kit. Voilla! I bring small Sea to Sumit SIL nylon dry bags that fold down to nothing for so many uses....one for wet clothes, socks, swim wear, etc...to collect sea shells, lol, and to wash small garments in just squish and rinse. I use Foam brand soap sheets and a dash of baking soda. I have a small pack towels, one wash cloth, one double wash cloth size, nice suade feel, super quick dry, with loops and snaps to hang. These usually dry what needs to be dried or if I am hot the longer one makes a nice cooling towel. I put a bandana in as well for my face, to cool my neck. (or warm it up) and slide the FOAM sheet soap pack in the tiny flat pack the towel came in, very neat little package for wash up on the go, I usually toss in 3 dime size towls you just add water to as well for real messy stuff. I have a BEARSZ compact ' beach blanket' which is basically a waterproof tarp with grommets (and corner sand or rock pockets). I carry a One Wind poncho tarp and some decent Kevlar line which is teeny tiny and super strong. This can make a quick sun or rain shelter with trees or sticks. And always a decent 4inch ferro rod and a small tin of Live Fire. I have a small very decent compass with a mirror. The mirror comes in handy if i get something in my eye or to signal. The compass to figure out maps obviously or to mark the direction you are adventureing into so you can get out of. This all packs so tiny. I would grab a BIC right at the airport atleast a mini, this is a gimme. If there is some kind of disaster I have some pretty basic survival items in a small tiny package. Never rely on GPS, period. Especially now omg. Anyway... I love my 4Monster packable Waist Pack/shoulder sling bag and my 4Monster packable day pack(s). I have a few sizes now after using these constantly for like 4 years sometimes with pretty heavy loads in them, often carrying camping gear really. Heading for the beach, whatever. Check out the good reviews. I use CHUMS tiny nylon zip pouches, one for a wallet and one for ICE. They have a clear panel on one side and a key chain loop. The pannel obviously to see your ID. In the ICE one I have that written in red on a card with my personal medical info. Bam, there it is ! Inside I keep one weeks of my personal medication plus one couse or dose of the over the counter meds. Benadryl, Immodium, Tylenol for fever, Dramamine( vertigo sea sickness), 800 mg IBU, plus Pepto, Tums (calcium- read about this), etc. Read the labels and pack a full recommended course for your day pack, or waist pack incase. I take the tablets out of the blister packs and put in 1×1 thick mill zips labeled and dated. Tiny zip bags are so cheap on Amazon and come in all different sizes. I have a tiny Write in the Rain field book (come in a three pack on Amazon) and I write the instruction I may need for meds, I have a basic first aid wallet card, a credit card sixed Fresno lens, I store my important phone numbers, contacts, account #'s and even some passcodes I may forget in the note book. I have a mini sharpie and small pencil and bullet pen by Fisher, a space pen to wite on various things. Sharpies write on skin BTW. I usually stuff a spare memory card for my phone, a sim tool, one for my tablet and my micro Samsung 256g flash drive that I keep copies of important docs on... (that's really a no brainer) in this tiny pouch. I even have these minture set of tweezers by Tweezerman that work brilliant! I keep the correct size screws for my glases and the correct teeny magnetic screw driver. Another no brainer saves hours or days of drama. Everyone that relies on glasses to see should do this. The chances of loosing my waist pack are pretty slim so I feel it's worth the risk. Chums are so small you can latch in a pocket. I put Nite Eze locking mini carabinas on all my stuff regardless. They have a zipper good for coins, jewelry. Last travel hack is to loose all the bulky bags or fragile zip locks and grab some Silocone zip locks used to replace freezer bags. These are awesome and come in sets of 4 each snack, sandwich, quart and half gallon just like the regular bags. You can freeze them or put boiling water in them to rehydrate food. Like the Hydropak Seeker bottle attacked to my Be Free filter, they can be used as a cold pack for unjuries or a hot water 'bottle' type vessel. You can rinse out an eye, soak a finger, wash out a wound, etc... I pack small screw tins of baking soda and you just have to read all the uses for that. The screw tins are also very cheap on Amazon. So much you can put in these to drop packaging weight and they don't puncture or leak. I bought 5 sets for 13.oo each to cover all my bases. Or the cost of one fancy case, lol. So the Silcone bags can keep your tech dry, and compress everything. My phone for instance. They are dishwasher safe. I For my day pack, I often keep a spare pair of socks, a hat and running gloves in one, maybe some hand or toe warmers, or a bug net in spring, stuff like that. For a plane you can keep your cords, ear buds, eye mask, face mask, lol, whatever all that in a snack to sanwhich size like a 'kit'. Keeps things super sealed, or clean and /or not smelly, use for snacks ! They are smooth and sleek and slip in and out of bags like a champ. You can make a little bathroom kit. I usually slip a few 'kits' in one of my Sea to Summit Sil Nylon bags to cover my bases while sitting stationary or for short walks, strolling around and where a pack is just too much, like going into crowded museums, stores, at events, and more so I am not in and out of my pack 50 times sitting at a table or in a seat like buss, cab or car. I can fit these bags in a jacket pocket, or even latch the Sil Nylon dry bags on my waiste pack or latch to a belt. Say to use the bathroom that may not have soap and toilet paper or sanitizer. At a store to buy snacks, stuff my rain jacket in, keep my packable shopping bag in....etc. just so handy ! But the point is all the various uses for a few items. I hope that point comes across. These bags are #1 untra light, #2 ultra small and #3 totally waterproof. Hope this helps.
I have been an edc / one bag travel nerd for two years now. I like a lot of items you shared but those prices do sting s but for my budget. I'm looking forward to getting some merino wool soon but for now what i loved most are those Velcro security locks. I go to sketchy places so that's just a good peace of mind item. I'm also curious your thoughts on those pants you mentioned verses other similar pants like Western Rise. Thanks for the video. It's my first time seeing your stuff. Well done.
I've owned this bag for a while and I really like it. My only major gripe is that, unless you're a Mac user, you can't fit a 15 inch laptop in this thing. The sleeve itself is large enough for my 15" gaming PC. But the opening in the zipper is about 2 mm too small to comfortably slide it in. My computer is pretty slim. But it's not a Mac so it's not tiny. If I really need to bring my laptop, I'll usually just put it in the main compartment. It's not a deal-breaker but it's kind of annoying. And I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing that it is a good incentive to talk myself out of bringing my laptop if I'm flying and trying to use this bag as my personal item. :-)
Nice! A lot of the stuff you have I have in my pack when I travel. I keep my pack pretty much ready to go as it serves as a bug out as well. The only think have that might be useful is a inflatable travel pillow, travel pad, and cork massage ball. My favorite go to bag is my 13 year old Gen 3 Tad Gear Fast pack that I've taken all over the world from Asia to Europe and countless trips all over the country for work and leasure. Great video
Yeah, I'm doing the same. This pack stays 75% loaded up in my closet until I need it. Those are some interesting ideas for additions too. I go back and forth on travel pillows for the plane... they just don't feel all that comfortable to me.
@@AtHomeInTheFuture the travel pillow isn't for the plane, I sleep horribly on flights, it's for hotel rooms and/should I get stuck at a location like an airport and have to sleep on a floor. Sometimes hotel pillows can be the worst so I have tired out a couple of ultralight backpacking pillows and I have a Nemo luxury pillow that I wrap in a buff that make things a lot more comfortable for me.
Great video and i added some new gear to my 'to buy' list. I'd love a clip of your bag on a luggage scale as part of the video. Our last international flight was 7kg carryon, with a generous carrier. In complete support of the heroclip, mine recently filled the space on our tour buses by allowing me to clip my water bottle to the seat in front of me. Tour bus had no mesh pockets, cup holders... hero clip let me attach it to the loop on my Nalgene and then i had it right in front of me. You wouldn't believe how many bottles fell on the floor and rolled away and how many people on the bus complained about not having somewhere to put their single use plastic bottles.
Great packing vlog, although I probably wouldn’t need all that is there. I did like the packing cubes and a few of the cables you travel with. Marino wool is always a must in my opinion, otherwise silk long shirt or T-shirts would be a good substitute.
I use the loops on the matador shampoo and conditioner bottles to hook them on a lanyard for hanging them in the shower so they don't touch anything or fall on the ground when I travel or camp.
Awesome video. My new travel bible. I always have had issues with overpacking and trying to figure out what to take. My newly discovered hobby is shopping for bags and cubes (mostly for tech gear) at thrift stores. I have a 5-day trip coming up in a week. This video is the perfect guide to make things easier for me.
Hello from Colorado! This is really an awesome video; thank you so much for sharing your experience in your travels, as well as providing links so as to replicate some of your gear list. I travel for work. I do have flexibility for my clothing for work. It would be fun to practice a few work trips with a setup similar to yours. By the time I quit working (in 2 or 3 years), I can have a pretty refined packing list. Safe travels!
Once you get a good one bag setup going, you kind of realize how much you pack that you don’t need. You need to make a video with your own setup a few years down the road :-)
@@AtHomeInTheFuture Ha...that would be a great documentation! I retired as a ground guy in the Army; so have just been used to carrying 100 pounds of high speed, light weight equipment hehehe. 24 years later, the equipment was lighter....and we just carried more of it. So yes....I would not say I am on a super minimalist quest. But, I can tell that my body would greatly appreciate a more agile set up. Also, I remember being in a very prominent middle eastern airport; the only westerner in sight and I had more equipment and bags than I could move at once. So, a 1 backpack luggage system is looking mighty awesome!
*Read My Guide for Traveling Completely for FREE:* athomeinthefuture.com/chase *Get even MORE travel gadgets, gear, and hacks in our newest video:* ruclips.net/video/g4j9CJMIzLs/видео.html What do you think? Is this a good load out, or did I miss something entirely? Let me know!
Here's your miss. The hotel door straps. Or anything that prevents proper access from the outside, (Hotel master key, etc). Just No. What if you have a medical emergency? You can dial 9-1-1 or the front desk, but they can't get into your room quickly. Now EMS is waiting on the fire department to break down the door. In case of fire, and you have to evacuate quickly. Now you need to fuss with your door "safety" solution while you're groggy at 3am. Things that are designed to block unauthorized access like under the door tools, or shims, fine. But anything that stops staff from opening your door in an emergency should be thought over very very carefully. Or anything that stops you from opening your door quickly during an emergency. Also, they do nothing if you aren't in the room. You can't put them on and then leave. So its not going to stop anyone robbing the room if you're gone. If you're that paranoid about housekeeping opening your door while you're inside, find another hotel.
Get the small Grayl ultra press ( or the larger Geo press) water purifier, clean water from any source, no matter where you are, plus it doubles as a water bottle, so you always have a bottle handy
Thanks for the great suggestions. I use the detachable loops you find in the Matador Flatpak Toiletry Bottles to hang them from the shower racks because often, they are small, or I put in there other things, or I don't want to put anything on them. This feature is handy, and I use it all the time. Just my 2 cents.
Great but very expensive.I travel a lot,and I mean a lot with some really great kit but did not spend anything near those prices.Cant say I miss anything in terms of style or functionality at all.
I bought the Topo roller global today. I am sorry I didn’t remember to use your link but I did put your name in the “how did you hear about us” - if I can give you credit post purchase I would be happy to.
I travel frequently. It isn’t unusual for me to be on a plane at 6:00 AM and to return at 9:00 PM the same day… and even then I check a bag. It is impossible to be TSA complaint and be prepared for much of anything. This is a good idea to have things in case your bag gets lost or something prevents you from getting to your bag upon arrival… but that’s as far as it goes.
A lot of us cant afford much either youre not alone. I watch these videos to get a full list of things I can find cheaper options for say even at dollar tree! Its like a scavenger hunt to see what cheap replacements I can find. Though for some items, Good quality is better. But in the meantime you can always find cheap options!
If you started fresh with nothing at all, maybe around $500-$1000 depending on what you need/want to carry? If you already have a bag/clothes/tech, then you could mix and match all of the little extras for much much cheaper. Also like to clarify - this isn’t a budget picks video necessarily, but rather the stuff I think is the best in category :-)
here is a hack I accidentlly discovered. I've been to London last year for business and it was summer, so it was hot both where I live and in London. So I opted for some nice and cozy sandals and packed proper shoes in my checked suitcase. Guess who was the only one not having to put his shoes off on both flights?
Sorry, I really don’t understand all the complaints on price and quality. Do you want cheap crap as a recommendation? I don’t. Show me the good stuff, I’ll decide how important it is to me and what level of quality I need in that item IF I need it at all or if there are other things I need more. There are generics or less expensive models of everything listed here. Everything. You don’t have to buy a $200 EDC bag, if you only travel twice a year get a $20 bag, they’re all over Amazon… but don’t complain if it doesn’t hold up.
That’s push back I get a lot, but I try to clarify that I’m not necessarily trying to cover the cheapest items, but the stuff that I think is the best (in my experience at least). Thanks for watching!
This! I’d rather buy more expensive things that last me years and years or maybe even for life rather than buy cheap but replace everything every couple of years.
Late to this video, but Ive been a massive Topo fan for about 10 years, but lately have noticed their quality has nosedived since they moved production overseas, have you noticed this?
@@AtHomeInTheFuture yeah I have two or three of their old bags, and they are fantastic, but then I got a Rover this spring and I could tell a serious decline in materials and craftsmanship. Oh well, my SubAlpine should last me forever
A packing cube that takes up 80% of the space in your bag defeats the concept,IMO. Use smaller packing cubes to organize vs a “black hole”. Otherwise good stuff… very hackberry based.
Oh yes i like this video! Orgnize + mininalism + easy to carry on! 🎉🎉🎉 99% i do the same as u. But i add some make up just (lipstick n powder). With 11Liter bag. My clothes is really small size 😅😅😅. thats why super light weight. And what u bring exactly same w/ me.
@@AtHomeInTheFuture every product I see with US plug is foldable by default. I am jealous mainly because i have been wanting to get a powerbank with foldable plug but it simply is impossible to find one that is that dodgey and only 20w power
Men really have it easy re travel clothesand toiletries. I can never find anything that fits and does the job, let alone that i like the look of and can afford😅
It's almost all very expensive stuff. If I would add it all up I could choose more budget stuff and have enough money left for a long weekend NYC including flight from Europe. In fact I've actually done that. Everybody must buy what they like of course but why not give budget options?
Год назад
Thank you for this great video that, to me, seems to summarize in a very good way, a lot of things I have been seeing in separate videos for some time. I have some of the things you show here, the HeroClip, an Anker charger, some medical first aid stuff, a backpack with the same amount of pockets and the same way of opening (very important!) and some more. My items are maybe from different labels or different editions but same things anyway. And those I don't have, are on my wish list since some time! And then some new stuff that seems very useful! What I would also suggest, is the Victorinox SwissCard Lite, it has very useful little scissors (they cut really well), a little LED light, a little pen, etc.
loved it but honesty the cloudon ultras are real bad at least for me they almost gave me a deep wound on my heel, no matter how much i would adjust them
I like your videos but I do dare you to pack for a trip do Europe. Several restaurants do not accept training clothes. You’d have to be wearing a suit (even for someone as “casual “ as you’re. As an American you all enjoy a very relaxed way of dressing but if you were invited to a wedding, or Easter with your in laws. If you’re not married and met an especial person how could you use the same tennis shoes and same tshirt (just different color) every single date… I’m sure to go to Disneyworld it’s ok but for work or especial events in yet to see some one to pack semi pijamas
The quality control on those matador toiletries backs is horrific. I bought the 3-set and 2 leaked off the bat from the weld at the lid. Both replaced under warranty, and 11 of the 2 replacements leaked in the same spot. Looking at their socials and reviewis,, seems like a very prevalent problem.
No point in making a video for the poors. The whole point of making these videos is getting sponsors and adding affiliate links to the description that pays a commission when someone buys something with the link.
I just posted a comment about this: liquids that have alcohol in them (Benzyl, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl/Cetearyl Alcohol, and Propylene Gylcol) can delaminate the seam along the bottle cap over time.
Caution about the Matador FlatPak bottles: liquids, like conditioners, that have alcohol can slowly dissolve the adhesive of the seams along the bottle cap. I've had a few that have leaked because of this. I now fill mine with a shampoo+conditioner that doesn't have alcohol in it.
The alcohols to watch out for: Benzyl, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl/Cetearyl Alcohol, and Propylene Gylcol.
Interesting
Yeah, I purchased a bunch of them because I loved the concept, and they were really cool and I could fit in more of them than other bottles, until they started leaking right where you said. Also, the inner lining started to peel away from the outer fabric after just a few uses. I wanted to love them so much, but they caused too many messes in my toiletries kit, and I sadly had to go back to Humangear’s Go-toobs. Which I’m not knocking, they’re awesome bottles. Just bulky.
cleaning the Matador seems fussy
Merino wool is amazing, no doubt. I own two 100% Merino wool t-shirts, and have previously owned much more expensive Ibex and Smartwool t-shirts/sweatshirts. With that being said, I would not recommend buying merino wool clothes unless you're fine with buying them constantly. They get holes in them after a short period of time. This isn't a brand/how well they're made thing, it's the nature of merino wool. It's incredibly weak material. It's also very expensive considering it doesn't last long. I use the 2 shirts I have only when I know it's going to be a sweaty day. That way they last significantly longer.
My experience as well
Thanks for taking the time to make this! I found a few things I might like to add. Everyone’s Kit is personal to them but like you, I like to collect things as I see them. One thing I like to bring is a pair of tsa complaint travel scissors and a binder clip. I use the binder clip to either keep the hotel room curtains closed or to clip my passport and valuables somewhere in the room where they are safe from theft.
Oh that’s smart. I’m always nervous about bringing anything sharp, so I’ll have to research some scissors. Thanks for the idea!
That is a terrific idea, thank you!
You do know you don't need to roll your clothes anymore, right?
@AtHomeInTheFuture the Victorinox SAK Jetsetter is a great little TSA compliant tool. It's like the Classic, but without a blade. It has a small pair of scissors, a little Phillips screwdriver+bottle opener multi-tool, and the ubiquitous toothpick and tweezers.
You could also throw in a Victorinox Swiss Card with the blade removed or replaced with a file. Fantastic little multi-tool.
I would add a victorinox jettsetter and a small dry bag. The victorinox is bladeless and TSA approved. The small scissors are very useful when traveling and can solve a lot of problems when you dont have your normal edc multitool or knife. The toothpick is also great when eating out at restaurants a lot.
A dry bag is great for the trip home if youre packing a wet swim suit or sweaty clothes that you dont want packed with the rest of your dirty laundry. It can also be used as a laundry wash bucket since many hotel drains dont actually hold water enough to wash clothes in the sink. Or even just as a backup stuff sack/org pouch for items in your day pack with added bonus of waterproof protection
Great items and great ideas
Re. scissors - only within the US I think; possibly Europe. If you're travelling within Asia Pacific, forget it. Your scissors + even the smallest pen knives will be confiscated.
Totally I like doing my laundry when traveling or quick home use and can even use the dry sack instead of packing cube. I just bring a length of paracord rope with some beads on it it’s Copy cat of S2S for way cheaper.
I love merino wool! The briefs or boxers are the best not cheap or as durable as other items of merino I’ve had for a decade even socks so it’s not always easy to get holes just depends on thickness
Great video! It feels like most EDC videos cover the exact same multitools, knipex, flashlight, knife, etc and there's often nothing new other than small variations on which knife to carry. But this video gave me a TON of new ideas I had never heard of.
FYI you can replace the multiple different USB cables with 2-3 USBC-USBC cables plus adapters for lightning and microUSB. Takes up the same amt of room as individual cables, but you then have the ability to charge multiple USB-C devices at once, since most of us will need more than one cable when charging at night.
Great ideas Darren. Thanks for watching!
Ohhh I wish I knew what this meant. I bet it’s useful info :) I’m a tech dummy
Are you sure this is not a super long Huckberry commerical? It seem that way at the beginning of this video. LOL
Haha, a lot of the gear from the first segment or two just happens to come from there (they have some pretty awesome stuff - killer store).
Most of the gear in the bag came from Amazon/some of the subs I cover/birthday gifts over the years. I have a LOT of gear :-) Links to everything are in the description.
I love your EDC travel video! As a female, I have some needs that vary from yours. However, I really love a lot of your recommendations. I especially love that toiletries kit. All the female suggestions show these enormous 3-compartments kits. I don’t know how they fit anything else in their bags! I love the self care stuff too! 🫶🏽👍🏽👏🏽
So glad you liked it; thanks for watching 💪🏻
Id put a single trashbag in your EDC. Useful for: leave no trace, AND its a poncho/gear water proofer if needed. It weighs/costs nothing and is super useful.
A large ziplock is also good for dealing with a ton of situations.
Great thoughts! I have those in my smaller kits, but not the travel bag yet.
Make it a trash compactor kitchen bag and you really will be ready for almost anything as they hold water too.
I don't feel bad knowing someone else packs like me. You've truly thought of everything. Great video
Great minds think alike!
You didn't go overkill with the first aid kit. I carry everything shy of chest seal and quick clot. Having creams, ointments and gauze can save you HOURS and keep you safe until you can get to those who help. Even in the US, help can be far away, and simply keeping a wound pain-free and clean is a lot. great work!
Thanks! I’ve added even more to it since filming :-)
Great video!! I hate that people are upset over cost or what brand you use. I feel like people forget they have autonomy of their own selves and don’t have to do exactly what you do lol. I appreciate the inspiration behind your EDC vids, especially as a beginner! ❤
Hey thanks!
For whatever reason, a small group of people that watches this type of videos assume that they’re all meant to be a “budget” guide. My videos are always about the stuff I enjoy the most, which doesn’t always correlate with the cheapest options out there, so that’s where most of the negative comments come from, haha
I have a 23L Fjallraven backpack. And because I travel mostly around Europe, I have stopped carrying all the just in case items. Can recommend 1L transparent toiletry bag(if you don't carry much), carbon fiber belt buckle(no need to take it of at security check) and clothes for 3 days + what you travel in. Merino wool is good for hiking but not great for the city, I usually carry one merino t-shirt just in case. I don't see an umbrella, or folding shopping bag(Peak Design packable tote is great). My back weights 3,5Kg without, or 4,5Kg with laptop. On cloud shoes look interesting.
Good tweaks
Great video, but you have to learn how to pack using the military roll method. You will save even more space doing this method.
I have a few of my shirts in there with the military roll method, but couldn’t figure out the pants side of things yet, haha
Really smart items in your list! The one thing I would add which is something I travel with all the time is a 16-20oz thin metal insulated drink bottle(mine is from Starbucks). This way while on your trip you can use it for keeping drinks hot(like morning coffee or tea) or cold while you're out all day. 👍
Smart addition!
Agree. Sometimes theme parks don't sell frozen bottles of water, and you need some decent flask.
Pretty good set up. A few things I always include for medical is a SWAT T, 3 in one tourniquet, compression wrap to have on me at all times. From a wastepack to everything else. Packs so small and thin, why not, saves lives! Weighs 4 ounces, 5.83x3.03x1.22 inches. Everyone should consider this and for every member of their family. Toss in a few packets of Blood Stop, also very tiny. Tape them on the package wrap. Even for a dogs pack, lol. Out walking, twist an ankle or old knee injury haunts you, you're covered. And it's waterproof. Look up all the uses.....the directions are printed on this band, and you can cut strips off these. It's rubber.
I carry a tiny Nighcore NU 125 headlamp with the shock cord band, self explanitory. So small I can wear around my neck and sleep with it especially. I have a SOL slim howler whistle tied into the shock cord band. Also self expanitory. Think earthquakes...or getting lost.
I bring my Be Free water filter by Katadyn with a 2L Hydropak 'Seeker' bladder attached and I have this stashed in a nylon packable bottle sling with a dropper bottle of electrolytes in the bag's little pocket. Saved my a$% a few times. I have atleast a small or mini victorinox ( you can get the Jet Setter style for planes) has small scissors that work well, bottle opener, small screw driver, tooth pic, tweezer, you have a chance at fixing tec or glasses. I keep in my pocket and I have a Leathermam Squirt ( they also have a blade free version) for the plyers. I have used these for sewing through thick material to grabbing hot things off a fire. I have 2 decent big eyed stainless sewing needles one thicker one thin that I taped on a plastic store card. On either side I rolled on some Gorilla tape and some Leuko tape (for blisters, medical use) and on top of the needles I wound up some thin white thread and some heavy guage thread. Enough to repair a pack, clothes, etc. Toss this in a little 3x3 zip with a one shot mini super glue and a square of Gaffers tape. Instant tiny repair kit. Voilla!
I bring small Sea to Sumit SIL nylon dry bags that fold down to nothing for so many uses....one for wet clothes, socks, swim wear, etc...to collect sea shells, lol, and to wash small garments in just squish and rinse. I use Foam brand soap sheets and a dash of baking soda. I have a small pack towels, one wash cloth, one double wash cloth size, nice suade feel, super quick dry, with loops and snaps to hang. These usually dry what needs to be dried or if I am hot the longer one makes a nice cooling towel. I put a bandana in as well for my face, to cool my neck. (or warm it up) and slide the FOAM sheet soap pack in the tiny flat pack the towel came in, very neat little package for wash up on the go, I usually toss in 3 dime size towls you just add water to as well for real messy stuff.
I have a BEARSZ compact ' beach blanket' which is basically a waterproof tarp with grommets (and corner sand or rock pockets). I carry a One Wind poncho tarp and some decent Kevlar line which is teeny tiny and super strong. This can make a quick sun or rain shelter with trees or sticks.
And always a decent 4inch ferro rod and a small tin of Live Fire. I have a small very decent compass with a mirror. The mirror comes in handy if i get something in my eye or to signal. The compass to figure out maps obviously or to mark the direction you are adventureing into so you can get out of. This all packs so tiny. I would grab a BIC right at the airport atleast a mini, this is a gimme.
If there is some kind of disaster I have some pretty basic survival items in a small tiny package. Never rely on GPS, period. Especially now omg.
Anyway...
I love my 4Monster packable Waist Pack/shoulder sling bag and my 4Monster packable day pack(s). I have a few sizes now after using these constantly for like 4 years sometimes with pretty heavy loads in them, often carrying camping gear really. Heading for the beach, whatever. Check out the good reviews. I use CHUMS tiny nylon zip pouches, one for a wallet and one for ICE. They have a clear panel on one side and a key chain loop. The pannel obviously to see your ID. In the ICE one I have that written in red on a card with my personal medical info. Bam, there it is ! Inside I keep one weeks of my personal medication plus one couse or dose of the over the counter meds. Benadryl, Immodium, Tylenol for fever, Dramamine( vertigo sea sickness), 800 mg IBU, plus Pepto, Tums (calcium- read about this), etc. Read the labels and pack a full recommended course for your day pack, or waist pack incase. I take the tablets out of the blister packs and put in 1×1 thick mill zips labeled and dated. Tiny zip bags are so cheap on Amazon and come in all different sizes.
I have a tiny Write in the Rain field book (come in a three pack on Amazon) and I write the instruction I may need for meds, I have a basic first aid wallet card, a credit card sixed Fresno lens, I store my important phone numbers, contacts, account #'s and even some passcodes I may forget in the note book. I have a mini sharpie and small pencil and bullet pen by Fisher, a space pen to wite on various things. Sharpies write on skin BTW. I usually stuff a spare memory card for my phone, a sim tool, one for my tablet and my micro Samsung 256g flash drive that I keep copies of important docs on... (that's really a no brainer) in this tiny pouch. I even have these minture set of tweezers by Tweezerman that work brilliant! I keep the correct size screws for my glases and the correct teeny magnetic screw driver. Another no brainer saves hours or days of drama. Everyone that relies on glasses to see should do this.
The chances of loosing my waist pack are pretty slim so I feel it's worth the risk. Chums are so small you can latch in a pocket. I put Nite Eze locking mini carabinas on all my stuff regardless. They have a zipper good for coins, jewelry.
Last travel hack is to loose all the bulky bags or fragile zip locks and grab some Silocone zip locks used to replace freezer bags. These are awesome and come in sets of 4 each snack, sandwich, quart and half gallon just like the regular bags. You can freeze them or put boiling water in them to rehydrate food. Like the Hydropak Seeker bottle attacked to my Be Free filter, they can be used as a cold pack for unjuries or a hot water 'bottle' type vessel. You can rinse out an eye, soak a finger, wash out a wound, etc... I pack small screw tins of baking soda and you just have to read all the uses for that. The screw tins are also very cheap on Amazon. So much you can put in these to drop packaging weight and they don't puncture or leak. I bought 5 sets for 13.oo each to cover all my bases. Or the cost of one fancy case, lol.
So the Silcone bags can keep your tech dry, and compress everything. My phone for instance. They are dishwasher safe. I
For my day pack, I often keep a spare pair of socks, a hat and running gloves in one, maybe some hand or toe warmers, or a bug net in spring, stuff like that. For a plane you can keep your cords, ear buds, eye mask, face mask, lol, whatever all that in a snack to sanwhich size like a 'kit'. Keeps things super sealed, or clean and /or not smelly, use for snacks ! They are smooth and sleek and slip in and out of bags like a champ.
You can make a little bathroom kit.
I usually slip a few 'kits' in one of my Sea to Summit Sil Nylon bags to cover my bases while sitting stationary or for short walks, strolling around and where a pack is just too much, like going into crowded museums, stores, at events, and more so I am not in and out of my pack 50 times sitting at a table or in a seat like buss, cab or car. I can fit these bags in a jacket pocket, or even latch the Sil Nylon dry bags on my waiste pack or latch to a belt.
Say to use the bathroom that may not have soap and toilet paper or sanitizer. At a store to buy snacks, stuff my rain jacket in, keep my packable shopping bag in....etc. just so handy ! But the point is all the various uses for a few items. I hope that point comes across. These bags are #1 untra light, #2 ultra small and #3 totally waterproof.
Hope this helps.
I have been an edc / one bag travel nerd for two years now. I like a lot of items you shared but those prices do sting s but for my budget. I'm looking forward to getting some merino wool soon but for now what i loved most are those Velcro security locks. I go to sketchy places so that's just a good peace of mind item. I'm also curious your thoughts on those pants you mentioned verses other similar pants like Western Rise. Thanks for the video. It's my first time seeing your stuff. Well done.
Yeah, that little lock tool is a hidden gem. I’m working on getting a pair of Western Rise pants to check out… stay tuned :-) Thanks for watching.
I find merino wool tops are too hot for tropical weather. Great for moderate and cool weather climates. Thanks for all the good suggestions.
Haven’t worn them in that context yet, but I could see that being the case
A great guide for someone who only wants to shop from Huckberry…
So many great ideas! Traveling overseas this fall and have already started stockpiling the Merino wool. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent ideas and execution
Thanks!
Wow! Probably the best travel edc video I’ve viewed. Great work!
Thanks a ton! Hope you found something useful
I've owned this bag for a while and I really like it. My only major gripe is that, unless you're a Mac user, you can't fit a 15 inch laptop in this thing. The sleeve itself is large enough for my 15" gaming PC. But the opening in the zipper is about 2 mm too small to comfortably slide it in. My computer is pretty slim. But it's not a Mac so it's not tiny. If I really need to bring my laptop, I'll usually just put it in the main compartment. It's not a deal-breaker but it's kind of annoying. And I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing that it is a good incentive to talk myself out of bringing my laptop if I'm flying and trying to use this bag as my personal item. :-)
Nice! A lot of the stuff you have I have in my pack when I travel. I keep my pack pretty much ready to go as it serves as a bug out as well. The only think have that might be useful is a inflatable travel pillow, travel pad, and cork massage ball.
My favorite go to bag is my 13 year old Gen 3 Tad Gear Fast pack that I've taken all over the world from Asia to Europe and countless trips all over the country for work and leasure.
Great video
Yeah, I'm doing the same. This pack stays 75% loaded up in my closet until I need it. Those are some interesting ideas for additions too. I go back and forth on travel pillows for the plane... they just don't feel all that comfortable to me.
@@AtHomeInTheFuture the travel pillow isn't for the plane, I sleep horribly on flights, it's for hotel rooms and/should I get stuck at a location like an airport and have to sleep on a floor. Sometimes hotel pillows can be the worst so I have tired out a couple of ultralight backpacking pillows and I have a Nemo luxury pillow that I wrap in a buff that make things a lot more comfortable for me.
@brixalpha oh awesome. I’ll check that one out
Great video and i added some new gear to my 'to buy' list. I'd love a clip of your bag on a luggage scale as part of the video. Our last international flight was 7kg carryon, with a generous carrier.
In complete support of the heroclip, mine recently filled the space on our tour buses by allowing me to clip my water bottle to the seat in front of me. Tour bus had no mesh pockets, cup holders... hero clip let me attach it to the loop on my Nalgene and then i had it right in front of me. You wouldn't believe how many bottles fell on the floor and rolled away and how many people on the bus complained about not having somewhere to put their single use plastic bottles.
Maybe about 8 pounds without the laptop. 12 or so with. Heavily depends on the weight of your clothes, extra gadgets/chargers, etc
Great packing vlog, although I probably wouldn’t need all that is there. I did like the packing cubes and a few of the cables you travel with. Marino wool is always a must in my opinion, otherwise silk long shirt or T-shirts would be a good substitute.
You are going places! Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the great post! This is exactly the type of video I was looking for. All the best.
Awesome - that’s fun to hear
I use the loops on the matador shampoo and conditioner bottles to hook them on a lanyard for hanging them in the shower so they don't touch anything or fall on the ground when I travel or camp.
Amazing you managed to source all these great items! I’m going to check that out!! thanks for sharing
Awesome video. My new travel bible. I always have had issues with overpacking and trying to figure out what to take. My newly discovered hobby is shopping for bags and cubes (mostly for tech gear) at thrift stores. I have a 5-day trip coming up in a week. This video is the perfect guide to make things easier for me.
That's fun to hear - good luck!
I love that bag! Looking to buy it! Love all your videos and they are helping me with what I carry in my bag and in my car! 😊❤🤍💙
Hey awesome Jennifer! Glad it’s helpful - using that bag on a trip as I type this reply :-)
Great video, some items I haven’t thought about.
I would love if he could make the same video but for under $200. It would be an interesting challenge and might help find good swaps.
Cool idea
Pack hacker make a video like you say
your bag is earily similar to mine! very subtle differences but I pack almost the same load out. very useful information for starter travelers!
Magee-tyson is the only airport I have had trouble in. Toughest TSA I've run across, and that was this past Sunday.
It’s crazy how much different the experience can be between airports
Awesome detailed video! I go to Europe every year and you provided some great suggestions.
Hello from Colorado! This is really an awesome video; thank you so much for sharing your experience in your travels, as well as providing links so as to replicate some of your gear list.
I travel for work. I do have flexibility for my clothing for work. It would be fun to practice a few work trips with a setup similar to yours. By the time I quit working (in 2 or 3 years), I can have a pretty refined packing list.
Safe travels!
Once you get a good one bag setup going, you kind of realize how much you pack that you don’t need. You need to make a video with your own setup a few years down the road :-)
@@AtHomeInTheFuture Ha...that would be a great documentation!
I retired as a ground guy in the Army; so have just been used to carrying 100 pounds of high speed, light weight equipment hehehe. 24 years later, the equipment was lighter....and we just carried more of it. So yes....I would not say I am on a super minimalist quest. But, I can tell that my body would greatly appreciate a more agile set up. Also, I remember being in a very prominent middle eastern airport; the only westerner in sight and I had more equipment and bags than I could move at once. So, a 1 backpack luggage system is looking mighty awesome!
Impressive, liked & shared.
Hey thanks man
Great video! found quite a few new things that i haven't seen before that for sure will add to my travel kit!
Awesome - let us know how that works out 💪🏻
Fantastic video! I have added so many things to my list.
Awesome to know it helped someone!
Maan, this is really helpful ! Thank you !
Awesome - hope you found some good stuff
@@AtHomeInTheFuture yup. It felt like more useful than most of the videos out there !

What do you think? Is this a good load out, or did I miss something entirely? Let me know!
Here's your miss.
The hotel door straps. Or anything that prevents proper access from the outside, (Hotel master key, etc). Just No.
What if you have a medical emergency? You can dial 9-1-1 or the front desk, but they can't get into your room quickly. Now EMS is waiting on the fire department to break down the door.
In case of fire, and you have to evacuate quickly. Now you need to fuss with your door "safety" solution while you're groggy at 3am.
Things that are designed to block unauthorized access like under the door tools, or shims, fine. But anything that stops staff from opening your door in an emergency should be thought over very very carefully. Or anything that stops you from opening your door quickly during an emergency.
Also, they do nothing if you aren't in the room. You can't put them on and then leave. So its not going to stop anyone robbing the room if you're gone.
If you're that paranoid about housekeeping opening your door while you're inside, find another hotel.
Awesome video with very interesting products!!
Hey thanks! This one was fun to make.
Get the small Grayl ultra press ( or the larger Geo press) water purifier, clean water from any source, no matter where you are, plus it doubles as a water bottle, so you always have a bottle handy
Featuring that in my next travel video!
Been using mine now for over a year, love them
I love your first aid kit. I'm absolutely copying that. Thanks for the great video.
I also carry a small sawing kit in mine. It saved me a couple of times, you might want to add that to your first aid kit as well.
Merci pour toutes ces bonne idées…tanks for all these great ideas !!!
Thanks for watching! Hope it gave you some good ideas.
Thoughtful travel suggestions. Thanks
Feels good to know someone packs like me (more or less) 🤣 cheers!
I guess there are a few of us weirdos out there :-)
Thanks for the great suggestions. I use the detachable loops you find in the Matador Flatpak Toiletry Bottles to hang them from the shower racks because often, they are small, or I put in there other things, or I don't want to put anything on them. This feature is handy, and I use it all the time. Just my 2 cents.
Smart!
Really great and helpful video, thank you!
So glad to hear that. Hope you found some cool stuff there
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
Hope it was helpful!
Great setup. Expensive clothing at like a 100 bucks a T-shirt, but great set up overall!
Yeah, the merino stuff ain’t cheap, but pretty great not having to worry about washing clothes.
This needed a “really really” and a “totally” counter… lol good informative video!
If I edited all of that out it would take me 2 years and the video would be 52 seconds long 🤣
@@AtHomeInTheFuture 🤣
Looking at your stuff I'm just wondering that you might be big fan of pack hacker? 😀
I’ve seen some of their stuff before :-) Honestly kind of went in blind with my pics for this video, though
Great info. Thank you for sharing 👍
Cool video man. Thanks for the tip.
You bet
Great but very expensive.I travel a lot,and I mean a lot with some really great kit but did not spend anything near those prices.Cant say I miss anything in terms of style or functionality at all.
It all depends how you travel and what you’re looking for I guess.
I bought the Topo roller global today. I am sorry I didn’t remember to use your link but I did put your name in the “how did you hear about us” - if I can give you credit post purchase I would be happy to.
Hey thanks! Hope you love the bag.
How long did it take to build this travel bag? This is exactly everything I need
70% over a weekend (mostly because of my existing EDC habit). 30% over a month as I exhaustively researched the best gear to finish it out :-)
I travel frequently. It isn’t unusual for me to be on a plane at 6:00 AM and to return at 9:00 PM the same day… and even then I check a bag. It is impossible to be TSA complaint and be prepared for much of anything. This is a good idea to have things in case your bag gets lost or something prevents you from getting to your bag upon arrival… but that’s as far as it goes.
Wrong
Depends on what you mean or what you're doing. It's extremely easy to travel for work or light pleasure trips and be compliant
Amazing video man seriously
Thanks Joseph! Really glad you dug it
Excellent video!
Thanks Renee!
Amazing video! 🔥
I love this setup Brotha! If I was in a better financial place I would buy every damn thing in this video 😂😂
Haha! Keep in mind that I got most of this stuff over a long period of time. It’s fun to dial it in to match how you travel
A lot of us cant afford much either youre not alone. I watch these videos to get a full list of things I can find cheaper options for say even at dollar tree! Its like a scavenger hunt to see what cheap replacements I can find. Though for some items, Good quality is better. But in the meantime you can always find cheap options!
All of the EDC videos and products under one video! Would love to see how much this whole kit costs, thanks for sharing
If you started fresh with nothing at all, maybe around $500-$1000 depending on what you need/want to carry? If you already have a bag/clothes/tech, then you could mix and match all of the little extras for much much cheaper.
Also like to clarify - this isn’t a budget picks video necessarily, but rather the stuff I think is the best in category :-)
@@AtHomeInTheFuture yeah for sure. The kit you have is just good stuff. Good stuff costs money. I am a big fan of peak design and matador
I can't afford 1/3 of that stuff. His budget alone on stuff BEFORE he leaves is super expensive! 😂
Great video!
Thanks for watching
here is a hack I accidentlly discovered. I've been to London last year for business and it was summer, so it was hot both where I live and in London. So I opted for some nice and cozy sandals and packed proper shoes in my checked suitcase. Guess who was the only one not having to put his shoes off on both flights?
Sorry, I really don’t understand all the complaints on price and quality. Do you want cheap crap as a recommendation? I don’t. Show me the good stuff, I’ll decide how important it is to me and what level of quality I need in that item IF I need it at all or if there are other things I need more. There are generics or less expensive models of everything listed here. Everything. You don’t have to buy a $200 EDC bag, if you only travel twice a year get a $20 bag, they’re all over Amazon… but don’t complain if it doesn’t hold up.
That’s push back I get a lot, but I try to clarify that I’m not necessarily trying to cover the cheapest items, but the stuff that I think is the best (in my experience at least). Thanks for watching!
This! I’d rather buy more expensive things that last me years and years or maybe even for life rather than buy cheap but replace everything every couple of years.
Wow! Nicky done!
Thanks!
I recommend Arcade belts.
I’ve seen those - need to check them out
Good list 👍
Thanks!
🍿🥤great video! Thank you
Glad you liked it.
Nice footage of BNA!
Have to represent the home turf :-)
Late to this video, but Ive been a massive Topo fan for about 10 years, but lately have noticed their quality has nosedived since they moved production overseas, have you noticed this?
Haven't personally experienced that, no. The bag I covered in this video is still my go-to, and it's built like a tank.
@@AtHomeInTheFuture yeah I have two or three of their old bags, and they are fantastic, but then I got a Rover this spring and I could tell a serious decline in materials and craftsmanship. Oh well, my SubAlpine should last me forever
@cloudcitydigital what a bummer
Awesome
Completely off topic - but what is that topo surface you're on?
whats the capacity of those packing cubes that you used - in the way that you packed them?
I don’t remember the size in liters, but the small version holds 10 shirts and the large can hold 20 I believe. They’re awesome.
The anker mag go battery heats up way too much. I have it but don't use it at all.
A packing cube that takes up 80% of the space in your bag defeats the concept,IMO. Use smaller packing cubes to organize vs a “black hole”. Otherwise good stuff… very hackberry based.
Where do you get those cable loops?
Oh yes i like this video! Orgnize + mininalism + easy to carry on! 🎉🎉🎉 99% i do the same as u. But i add some make up just (lipstick n powder). With 11Liter bag. My clothes is really small size 😅😅😅. thats why super light weight. And what u bring exactly same w/ me.
I am making stationary EDC kit in Altoids tin.
Please suggest -
1) Glue stick or Liquid glue which can be used frequently
2) Compact slim stapler
16:20 i am so jealous, why can’t British plug also fold like type a plug?!
I’m so used to that with American plugs that I didn’t realize that’s not a thing elsewhere
@@AtHomeInTheFuture every product I see with US plug is foldable by default. I am jealous mainly because i have been wanting to get a powerbank with foldable plug but it simply is impossible to find one that is that dodgey and only 20w power
i love your bag😊
Thanks
@@AtHomeInTheFuture welcome ☺️
How accurate do the proof shirts fit? I tried unbound and they were a but long.
True to size, maybe more of an athletic cut
Good stuff. Good ideas. :-)
Men really have it easy re travel clothesand toiletries. I can never find anything that fits and does the job, let alone that i like the look of and can afford😅
It's almost all very expensive stuff. If I would add it all up I could choose more budget stuff and have enough money left for a long weekend NYC including flight from Europe. In fact I've actually done that. Everybody must buy what they like of course but why not give budget options?
Thank you for this great video that, to me, seems to summarize in a very good way, a lot of things I have been seeing in separate videos for some time. I have some of the things you show here, the HeroClip, an Anker charger, some medical first aid stuff, a backpack with the same amount of pockets and the same way of opening (very important!) and some more. My items are maybe from different labels or different editions but same things anyway. And those I don't have, are on my wish list since some time! And then some new stuff that seems very useful! What I would also suggest, is the Victorinox SwissCard Lite, it has very useful little scissors (they cut really well), a little LED light, a little pen, etc.
Thanks Noemi - great recommendations
No travel adapter! How do you charge in different countries?
Don't travel internationally all that often, but actually have a cool solution for that coming in a June video... stay tuned :-)
loved it but honesty the cloudon ultras are real bad at least for me they almost gave me a deep wound on my heel, no matter how much i would adjust them
I do find myself wearing some higher cut socks with them
@@AtHomeInTheFuture yeah i try to use higher cut and thicker materials socks usually😅
Where did you get your sterile gloves packet?
I’ll have to go back and look - probably a MyMedic add on
Hi. What's the name of that shoe? Link does work for me. :(
Just updated the link (they were sold out on Huckberry). They're the On Cloudultra's: amzn.to/3ythH5k
Get Hoka for travel On is very uncomfortable with the sole. Personal opinion
I’ve seen a lot of Hoka’s out there
#mamacoo Literally the happiest place we girls are!
I like your videos but I do dare you to pack for a trip do Europe. Several restaurants do not accept training clothes. You’d have to be wearing a suit (even for someone as “casual “ as you’re. As an American you all enjoy a very relaxed way of dressing but if you were invited to a wedding, or Easter with your in laws. If you’re not married and met an especial person how could you use the same tennis shoes and same tshirt (just different color) every single date… I’m sure to go to Disneyworld it’s ok but for work or especial events in yet to see some one to pack semi pijamas
Yeah, there’s no doubt that Americans and Europeans have a radically different clothing philosophy. This loadout is aimed more at casual traveling.
The quality control on those matador toiletries backs is horrific. I bought the 3-set and 2 leaked off the bat from the weld at the lid. Both replaced under warranty, and 11 of the 2 replacements leaked in the same spot. Looking at their socials and reviewis,, seems like a very prevalent problem.
"If you guys have $2,000-$3,000 you want to spend, let me show you my carry on bag"
Have you ever seen any of these videos done by a guy in a trailer or small modest house? 🤔
No point in making a video for the poors. The whole point of making these videos is getting sponsors and adding affiliate links to the description that pays a commission when someone buys something with the link.
You have a $3000 carry on? 😧
How heavy is the bag?
With my laptop and everything else loaded out, about 10lbs
Do the matador flat paks leak? I’ve read online that they do.
Mine haven’t 🤷🏻♂️
I just posted a comment about this: liquids that have alcohol in them (Benzyl, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl/Cetearyl Alcohol, and Propylene Gylcol) can delaminate the seam along the bottle cap over time.
