      I just got one. The other day I was watching a video and as soon as I saw it, I paused the video, went to Amazon and bought it and then came back to the video. And that is one of the very rare times that I have ever bought anything without seeing the full review. And it was on special. Also I started to watch a few videos that show how to actually blow a whistle.

      North American RUclipsr I’m genuinely asking out of curiosity, is it a common occurrence for you to sit in the back of a parked car to eat a meal? I find it hard to believe anyone would choose to sit in the back of a hot and stuffy (in the summer) or freezing cold (in the winter) parked car to eat and potentially fill there car with crumbs when they could go home, dine in the restaurant or sit outside at any number of public locations.

    • @MidnightHedgehog365

      @@andrews2296 I know you weren't asking me but I eat in my car. The front seat mind you but I don't always want to eat in the break room of my job or I might quickly go grab something in a drive thru and stay in my car to eat. It's a waste of time to go back inside and eat in the break room when my lunches are 35 minutes. I can also play my phone through my bluetooth and lean back my chair instead of sitting upright the entire time. Also with covid it's safer to stay in your car anyway.

    I already know someone I am going to gift the simply hold too. A stroke survivor that utilizes a motorized wheelchair for work. She has right side paralysis, so only her left hand is free. I think this would be useful when she’s traveling, via the airport, and waiting at the doctors office etc.
    BTW, I bought the telescoping stool/seat that you reviewed awhile back, as an extra Christmas gift for my husband. He requires forearm crutches, and from time to time we have wished he had a way to sit down. Waiting in line, walking a long distance, etc. it’s very sturdy and he can’t wait to use it.
    The only thing on this video I think will fail, especially in Arizona, is the backseat organizer. The plastic looks pretty flimsy. I live in Texas, bought one of those cell phone clips that attach to the dash, and can flip, swivel etc. yeah. Warped the first day I left it in the car while I was at work. Just curled and morphed into a useless piece of garbage. Let us know if you leave that thing in your car.

    as a bushcrafter and emergency prepper every emergency kit and hiking kit should include a fairly loud whistle. if you are hurt, or trapped and try to call for help your voice will not carry as far as a whistle, and very quickly you will get a sore throat, and loose your voice while a whistle takes less air, less effort and can carry much further.

    That leg phone stand thing would be great on a plane or a train anywhere that you're going to be sitting for a while.

    The screen holder would be great for use in a vehicle on a long haul trip particularly as a passenger. Also, I am a private pilot and am thinking of trying it while piloting an airplane.

    My screen holder is the Aduro one that goes around your neck. It's really flexible, and is very firm. It was like $18 on the A, maybe less...

    Thanks for the review on the back seat organizer. Wife and I have a 12 and 14 year old and at times we get fast foods while on the way to where ever. Bought it and will let them put it to the test, and they can use the shop vac if it does not perform .

      I would have liked to see a comparison with some other things like a referee's whistle, an air horn, etc

      Judging by how Brandon was talking, it seems he could barely hear it. The mic probably didn't pick it up.
