FULL DISCLOSURE:
The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
AFFILIATE LINKS:
No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.

Love the travel tip for the travel wallet. I'm definitely using that the next time I travel.
I've thought about doing the thing where you hide your passport or other wallet with credit cards under the sink or bed... but knowing myself, I'll probably forget I did that, leave the hotel, get to the airport and then realize my mistake. i just always take my passport with me because you usually have to, depending on the country.
I can relate. The struggle is real
I usually put a reminder in my phone. I have a to do alarm two hours before check out, so that I won't forget my passport
Thanks for the heads up. When I mug you, I will ask for all 3 wallets.
😂 😂 😂
I like the CAS2 but even I feel it is too small for travel use especially if you want to bring a water bottle and camera and packable jacket/totes etc. I also hate heavy slings like more than 1kg or so feels like a lopsided weight on my shoulder so I might as well go with a small backpack, feels more secure too. More bag companies should make 15L and lightweight bags, there is no need for 20L bags to be 2lbs or 1kg heavy. Just a random rant lol.
Nice backpack, I have the blue one 30 ltr. Nice to know about the shop in EU to get some of the gear that is in the US/Canadian markets. Stay safe, and hope the weather down there is nice as we had in DK today.
You mean an Evergoods 30l backpack? Weather was good, but still quite cold though. All the best
Thinking about buying a sling bag for the hotter weather approaching, great video
Thanks, Tom. Do you have a specific slingbag in mind?
@@Youknowthebo No not really, I can't make up my mind. Probably something more on the dark side, maybe similar to the Bellroy sling.
5:56 I believe the curtain hiding place is well published by now.
My rule is to not allow housekeeping on short stays.
Oh that's unfortunate news. Need to find a better hiding spot then. And I also always leave the do not disturb sign outside, so no housekeeping for me either 😂
@@Youknowthebo Many hotels now REQUIRE daily housekeeping, even if you put the sign out. I had the hotel manager come directly to my door and knock (with DND sign on the handle) with two other persons behind her, and said they had to "inspect the room", because I didn't allow housekeeping in for 2 days. In the states, this is even stricter, because (hotel in NYC), they wanted to be sure there wasn't any illegal weapons, drugs or child trafficking happening in the hotel room. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still use the aer bag i won from your giveaway years ago 🎉🎉🎉
That's awesome 👍
Agree with most of the items mentioned Bo, great video as always! For me, an essential for me that hasn't been mentioned is a secondary phone. It acts as a backup for my phone in case something goes wrong with my main phone while I'm traveling (happened to me multiple times).
Also another essential is a good pair of earphone, for watching movie in the plane and to keep myself entertained. I used to rely on bluetooth wireless earphones, but nowadays I'm going back to wired earphones simply because it's one less item to charge every night.
Also a multi port charger, preferably that is small but powerful enough to charge a laptop and a couple of other device is another must for me, I use the Ugreen 100 Watt GaN charger with 4 ports to charge my laptop, my phone and my secondary phone, and my camera with just a single charger. I want to "downgrade" to something even smaller and lighter but can still charge a laptop and a few other device, but for now the 100 Watt charger still does a wonderful job for travel.
Good idea. I usually carry headphones and charger as well. But a second phone is a really good idea as well. Will add that to my packing list in the future
Fantastic video as always Bo
Thank you very much 😉 ✌️
Also finding Mukama as the only place for the things I am looking for in Europe. Any other sites you know about for the higher-quality bags and such would be great to know. Also - thanks for the great video reviews. Much appreciated when someone else can do this and potentially save me some money.
That outro was kind of great. I like the tip about using curtains, hadn't considered that before.
Thank you very much 😉 ✌️
Oh man, great idea with the ziplock and clips! Except I would totally forget my wallet every time 😂
I also use a reminder on my phone a few hours before check out. That way you won't forget your passport
@@Youknowthebo brilliant!
Can you review bags from Japanese brands? Porter, Master-Piece and Visvim!
They are on my wish list, but I haven't gotten the chance to get one yet
@@Youknowthebo Japan don't make it easy for us in the west to buy into their brands
Nice video. I just subscribed. Thank you from Connecticut, USA.
Thank you very much. Really appreciate it ✌️ 😉
When ever i opened my A7 lid some water would spill out a little😢
That slate gray has an amazing orange inside, but on their website it looks light gray, but in your video it looks black. Is it on the darker side? That's what I would prefer
Hi Bo, I am curious about the Bellroy Travel Wallet accommodating the German passport. On their website, Bellroy state it fits all passports except German and Irish.
That's a German passport in the video. Mine fits into the travel wallet. I have had it for awhile. Not sure if they changed sizing in recent times, but I would be surprised if they did
It is actually because the older german passport (with hardcover) was bigger than the new one they started giving out a couple of years ago. The new one fits but Bellroy hasn’t changed that on their website.
People, your first mission is to come back from every journey. Therefore, your phone, wallet, id and first aid kit should be top of mind. Everything else is an add-on. And remember, cash is the best EDC you can have. You can convert it into anything you want.
how to fit that memobottle in CAS2? which Memobottle can fit in CAS2?
When I travel with my passport I never leave it anywhere…
👍👍
I have an Anker that is 10000 mA that is about 6 yrs old. Still great but lacking in the USB C department.
Yeah, they are pretty longlasting from my experience
Any ideas for protecting the sling bag clasp (ie a sleeve over) to prevent a would be their from snatching thr bag from behind u?
That's a pretty cool. Maybe something like an elastic band. Or a velcro cable tie
Is the memobottle sparkling water proof?
Hey Bo, whats the weight difference between those two memobottles? I recently got the stainless in A6 and its so heavy I never want to bring it lol, I was wondering if the plastic one is much lighter
Hey. Just weight both of them. The plastic version is 104g and the steel version is 322g. So significantly heavier 😅
@@Youknowthebo Thanks Bo, I really cant believe how heavy the steel one is lol, but it does look great
@@PackingLess yes, I was also really surprised. I was anticipating double the weight and not three times the weight 😂
new sub comin from pack hacker. Great video loved it. Used to think I was the only crazy one carrying 2-4 wallets. So let me get this straight, you have travel passport wallet, a day wallet, and decoy wallet with cash in it incase you get mugged right? I'm doing same loadout except I'll probably keep a backup wallet in my travel pack (1 credit card/1 debit card/some cash). Also probably carrying a second shitty iphone as a back up too. Loved the vid, def modifying my packing list now.
Thanks for the sub ✌️😉 yes, I have at least two wallets: one in my pocket and the travel wallet with my passport and another card plus money. And depending on my destination I might carry that decoy wallet as well.
Hi Bo, are you open to selling EG CAS 2L orange lining? Thanks!
First and foremost: Thank you very much for being a member and supporting the channel. I honestly didn't know the badge at first and just now realized that you are a member. RUclips didn't give me a notification. Thank you very much. I honestly wanted to keep the CAS2L, but it was laying around a bit too much and it would be a shame if it just gathered dust. Can you DM me on instagram or email me? I can't send direct messages here unfortunately
Does the memo bottle fit in the sling as well or do you just carry it in your hands?
Does the slim memobottle fit in the Evergoods CAS2 Sling?
Unfortunately not. It's 1cm too long. But there are smaller versions available
Buy more tack!
I've just visited Mukama weabite and the A7 memo bottle is €50.... Is that a joke? For a tiny water bottle? It must be a mistake surely?
Memo bottles I kind of the apple of waterbottles 😂 you were probably looking at the stainless steel versions. The plastic versions are cheaper. Still more expensive than regular round bottles. But to be fair they are worth the price Imho. They are much less likely to spill compared to cheaper gym bottles for instance (although I wouldn't use this for the gym because the lid is taking much longer to open and close). And more importantly the slim, flat and squarish form factor makes it much easier to pack inside your work back with all of your work items. Especially inside a briefcase or messenger for instance. I prefer packing my bottle inside opposed to outside the bag. This formfactor won't occupy too much space.
@@Youknowthebo Ah the apple of water bottles, now it makes sense haha. They do look really sleek but I can't justify that price for what it is lol. Great video though :D
I bought another brand flat clear plastic bottle, but can't remember which. I wanted something to fit easily into the magazine/storage pocket on an airline seat.
Why not bring your wallet with you when you go out?
Because I don't want to loose my passport tbh.
Immer super Videos, nur übertreibst nicht mit der Werbung
Danke sehr. Aber ganz ehrliche frage: sind 30-60s Werbung in den Videos zu viel? Vor allem wenn es edc oder Themen bezogen ist? Also so raid shadow legends Werbung nervt total, aber wenn es passend zum Video ist, geht's oder? Also wie gesagt : wirklich ernst gemeinte Frage als Feedback
No way ever would I leave my passport or other important documents unsecured in a hotel room, even if hidden. I take it with me or lock it in my luggage.
I get that. But there can be situations in which you might not want to carry your passport (eg. Going for drinks or party).
Also leaving your passport in your luggage in your hotel room also has the risk of someone just stealing your luggage. As mentioned, the probability of a theft being just "breaking into a room and then grabbing the next best thing" is quite high opposed to a thief actually searching around the room to find valuables. Therefore I expect a thief to probably just grab the bag if nothing of value is laying around (like a laptop for instance). But that's just what I am thinking and might not be the case.
Again: I totally get what you are saying and I don't always feel comfortable leaving my passport in a hotel room. But I had more than one occasion in which I just could not bring my passport or the risk of loosing it was just to high.
@@Youknowthebo fair enough, I can understand your reasoning. Very much an individual thing.
I saw 20k rupiah 😂
😅👍
i see Rp 20.000
