I had Zip Ties fasten on the bag on the back of my wheelchair to keep people from taking my bag. I also kept extra Zip Ties inside my bag. However, when I went through Security at the Airport in Australia, they told me that it was a security risk to have Zip Ties in my possession on the plane.
Interesting! Zip ties can be another good way to close your zippers on checked bags, just make sure you leave enough room for the tsa to cut if needed. Of course, anyone else can cut as well, but at least it’s harder to open than having nothing
All foreigners are trying to steal/murder/abduct you, just stay at home where the entire population is trying to steal/murder/abduct visitors and you are completely safe at all times.
The crazy women with mad hair and wrinkled clothes will hit the ironing board first, then steal all the clothes hangers while their ally scours the place for enhanced hair dryers. Best place to hide cash & cards will be the used underwear bag.@@Its_the_Whole_Everything
What I appreciated about this video is the quick start to getting into your topic. So many people take up 2-5 minutes of jabbering before getting to the point. The longest time I have waited was 7 minutes. Never again.
Ha ha YES! "In this video, I'm going to talk about XYZ... blah blah" for 2 minutes - I just fast-forward and yell "Stop telling me what you're gonna say, just get to the video!"
Working as a photojournalist I was told by an old veteran photographer he always brings his photo gear around in an old cartoon diaper bag. Nobody wants to risk dirty diapers
I traveled to India a few years ago, had a cloth vest, REAL DEEP POCKETS, with elastic stitched into them, that had clips to hold my travel wallet.. Wallet attached to me by fishing trace wire, and a clip onto my belt. Same for camera, worked well in USA, so did the India trip the same. Muggers Wallet, old bank card, of any sort / discount card..some cash..Easy to give up.. Also a whistle at neck, came in handy at Sanfansico, two guys hanging off my elbows, TILL I PULLED OUT MY LITTLE ALERT WHISTLE. They were GONE. Traveled on my OWN. ... Take care out there. Cheers..
I purchased a rain cover for my backpack so all the zippers are not visible. I put elastic inside the cover and made it secure so it can’t be pulled off. Also using diaper pins to close zippers on my purse so no grubby hands can get my stuff. I did notice those pickpockets girls always get on the train last have a big bag and usually a coat draped over their arms so be aware.🇨🇦🇨🇦
Back in the 80's when we used traveler's checks. I hid allll my cheques under a carpet when in Barcelona. When I got to France, I realized I forgot them!!! 😆
you suggested really good tips. i shall try to remember them if and when i travel o`seas again. my daughter and her fiance went to europe few years ago, but an actual cleaner for the room stole some souveniers and money they had inside their backpacks whilst in Italy. they mentioned it to the manager of the hotel, and he looked at the footage of who the cleaner was, and noticed that this particular male cleaner entered their room TWICE, which was not normal. The cleaner confessed it was him. he was sacked. but just goes to show, you cant even trust cleaners
Wow. For so many of my early years of traveling, I did not have to worry about hardly even have of the risks that we have now. Those were much more simpler and safer times.
Thanks for all info! We travelled to many dubious countries with a big hardcase roller delsey for the 2 of us. No way of taking it and run away and you can even sit on it when waiting. When standing in line at ticket offices I walk with toes first on the floor and step down on thr foot of people getting too close behind me, with a sorry and a smile. Doing some stretching with elbows out and body twisting also helps.
Love my pacsafe. A lady in Bangkok reminded me to be aware of pickpockets at SkyTrain stations. I told her that i give her 500 baht (15USD) if she can take something out of my bag within 1 minute. She gave up after 5 and i invited her for lunch
6:23 I certainly said that to people from time to time ;-) The hotel staff knows every hiding place in every room, far better than you every will. Don't try to hide your valuables that way, it won't work. Buy a decent flight bag (that's a cover that goes around your luggage), and put a lock on it. Sure, someone with a knife can still get through, but none of your items will be visible. And if you come back to your hotel and your flight bag is ripped open the hotel has to explain what happened (who had access to your room, are there camera images, etc.), as there is clear evidence of vandalism, at least. And of course you can use the same bag while you are actually in transit.
That would definitely be idea, but if you don’t have space (or don’t want to carry) the extra cover, I think hiding your valuables is more secure than not hiding them. Even if they know all the hiding spots, they’re not gonna want to be in your room for long in fear that you’ll return. This is even more true in airbnbs and guest houses where it’s not just the hotel staff that you have to worry about. Putting your wallet in the grilled cheese maker is far more secure than leaving it out on the bedside table (just don’t forget it! 🤣 )
I always put straps (the ones that have to be broken to be opened) in all checked luggage. Because in many airports they do put drugs inside. If I find any broken ones, I call security. It´s also a good idea to take pictures of them when arriving to the airport.
If I stop to check my phone or something in the middle of a town square during the day in a tourist area, I will stand so I can see my shadow, then I can easily see if someone walks behind me without needed to constantly look. I also take my wallet out of my pocket and zip it in an inconvenient/deep internal pocket.
I keep a good new phone deep in my money belt and I hotspot tether to the one in my hand. Also you can put a tracker on your phone. Inside the lining of my suitcase is where I store some extra money. Also I only carry a copy of my passport in public. Once coming into Peru I sewed chicken wire on the bottom of my backpack and the immigration officer when he saw it said oh I see you know my people. One time in the Philippines I was so angry at the abundance of pickpockets I wanted to put fish hooks on string inside my backpack so that when they reached in they were definitely be attached and then just bring them to the police. Watch sometimes when walking near a 2,3 m. fence or wall sometimes people will grab stuff and throw it to their partner over the wall. Also beware when someone touches you on your left shoulder look to your right side first. If a pretty girl tries to catch your attention turn around and see what's behind you. One time in Guayaquil Ecuador a youth wrapped his arms around my arms and my chest from behind while another one stuck his hand in my pocket and grabbed my money. I chased them down the street screaming for the police and two plain-clothes cops came out of nowhere and grabbed the sob and gave me back my money. After fifty years of travel I've learned a few things.
This is Brilliant!! Ok, so very specifically, please tell me where I would go to purchase chicken wire or fish hooks in your traveled countries. It’s not like Home Depot is available everywhere and asking to go to a construction site is not going to be helpful. Thanks
Not only can luggage zippers easlily be opened with a pen, they also can be closed again without leaving any evidence, thus making it easy to plant things in your luggage.
In Argentina, they wear the backpack on the front. And, if you're going to use an old phone as a drop phone, make sure you take the sim card out. Bad guys have incredible access to your accounts with your sim card.
What accounts? You can save things to SIM cards??? What can you do with a mobile SIM that I have no idea about because I'm so used to not having signal and only ever use WiFi? What research do I need to do?
@@Roadent1241 when you enter internet banking. Bank send you sms. Not all but some yes... When you want to access your google account without password, google send you sms... When someone take over your phone number and email account more bad things can happen. Stealling your identity... etc...
If you hide your stuff on weird places, remember to write that down on your phone, so you can check for them before you leave and don't leave them behind!
On my backpack, I use an old metal diaper pin. You have to slide the cap up, then pinch inwards to open the pin. I'm very sensitive to touch, so that helps too. I love the dummy wallet idea.
Dude! I have been carrying dummy wallets and phones and sewing secret pockets in my travel pants for years, and spreading the gospel! So cool to see a RUclips video recommending this!
@5:23 Years ago an airport employee told me that one should not use expensive brand name suitcases, although they are probably more secure, because thieves think that expensive suitcases probably have more valuables in them.
Fantastic tips! I like the unconventional hotel hiding spots. I usually lock my valuables in my luggage, but you’re right - somebody could see that and intuit that there’s something good in there and just take the whole thing 😳 The trick is to not forget where everything is stashed and leave something behind!
@@ProjectUntethered We don't know if it was TSA or the baggage handlers but my wife's Blue Official Handicrapper Placard was stolen out of her suitcase when we left DFW for our Hawaii trip. So, I don't trust any of those devils.....ANY of them. Relinquish control of your stuff and you are at risk of being robbed.
A lot of great tips. Thank you. I agree with someone else's comment. I like the way you get right into your topic and you don't have a 2-minute introduction
Your videos have been in my recommend for the last 48 hours and I am traveling out of the country for the first time and I have been finding these super helpful. Definitely subbing. Thanks.
Good video. There is a point when the cure becomes worse than the disease. I've lost a few important items over the years when I forgot where I hid them. I've only ever been "properly" mugged once and it was a result of drawing attention to myself, albeit as a result of trying to help someone else who was drunk. Basic precautions and sensible behaviour is all that's needed.
I grew up in a sketchy area with a lot of thieves, so i do about 80% of these tips. From time to time over the years I think about this and I am always thinking that I am exaggerating. Nice to see that others use these too!
I now travel wearing these stretchy Wrangler Cargo Pants, that look nice but have two zipper pockets down at the knee level where You can place your passport in one, and wallet and money in the other.......Also the waistband is stretchy so if you bloat on a long flight, they are still comfortable. About 25 bucks
I gave up on written travel journals years ago. Notes are now typed in my iPhone during the day or dictated in my hotel room at night. It all goes to iCloud and I don’t have to worry about anyone stealing my journal. When I get home, I add pictures I took along the way and have an incredible and very neat memory of the trip. And without any spelling or grammar mistakes!
When we are in a airbnb type of place that has a kitchen or a hotel that has a little kitchen, I hide my valuables under or in old pots and pans in lower cabinets. If the garbage can is big enough and has a plastic liner in it, I will put valuables between the liner and can at bottom and make sure I have junk on top. I find that the biggest issue is to have a check out on my phone to remind me before checking out to get my valuables. I also have on the check list adapters because I have left several in rooms plugged in.
Wow as long as you don’t forget anything, that sounds like a 100% theft proof plan. Unless perhaps the cleaning lady at a hotel accidentally through it away haha. A checklist is very smart too.
You don't need 95% of the shit Americans with backpacks take with them on vacation, especially if you go anywhere in Europe. All you need for clothes (for guys) is 7 pairs of underwear/socks, 2 or 3 pairs of pants, 2 button down shirts, 5 solid color t-shirts. Charger, toothbrush, toothpaste (which one could and SHOULD, along with their suitcase, NOT backpack, leave in their hotel room) and €100 cash (need more use a ATM). That's it.
@@DrVVVinK I travel the tropics. So I take a total of three pairs of pants, (one of them I wear on the plane). A packable brimmed hat. Three button shirts, (one of them I wear on the plane), two pair of Teva Holliway men’s sandals. (One pair wear, one pair packed). One pair of socks for on the plane. A packable clothesline by Sea to Summit. I wash my clothes in the sink or shower and hang them to dry in my hotel room or apartment if I rent an apartment. Tech is my iPad Mini, iPhone 13 Mini, and Sonim XP3 flip phone. 21 litre backpack and a small crossbody sling bag. That’s all. Carry-on only. Even if I go for months at a time.
I ordered hard shell luggage without zippers and with TSA locks because my son showed me how easy it is to open a zipper with a pen and then rezip it. I couldn’t tell afterwards!
Also in your hotel room at night put your case behind the door with the handles facing away from the door opening, Anyone trying to get in will be in for a surprise and the noise will wake you up.
@@Shininglight1234look up portable door lock. They're as cheap as a sandwich. You could also consider a door wedge alarm, but you can travel with the batteries in as it's extremely loud if accidentally triggered, and then there is also that issue of batteries and keeping them in your carry on.
My dummy wallet was picked in Nicaragua. The con was brilliant, but I was happy to have the last laugh. One tip is to use your pad lock to lock your room door. Did this once in Granada (Island) and it saved me.
(just to say that english isn't my first language) My first big trip was in Indonesia with a college group (the teacher made it every year) when I was 19. I kinda new security tips and had bought a CAA travel handbag that I always had on me (with all kind of security stuff built in) where I put all of my essentials in (medicaments, passport, etc). Lets just say that I was glad that I did this, because not even 10 hours in Indonesia, our minibus that was parked in a place with some convenience stores around was robbed of all of the stuff that were left on the seats (except my raincoat, I guess I was lucky). Our big backpacks in the trunk were still there, but half of our group had their passports stolen because they left them in their bags that were stolen. We were not even in a tourist area, it was like 4am during Ramadan (so stores were open) and so we just waited in a Mcdonald making our first contact with our parents and the teacher and our driver were devastated. In the end they never found their passports so our trip was changed a bit to make new ones. Anyway, even the simplest action to keep your things safe could make or break your trip. :)
I’m glad you didn’t lose yours! You bring up a really good point. When I’m traveling between places, I always keep my passport in my Fanny pack so I never get separated from it!
Also, a double-sided “S” shaped carabiner to connect two zipper pulls together. It’s not a lock, but it’s harder to open the bag if both zipper pulls move together.
It is nice to keep valuables in locations where thieves don't know where they are hidden. I watched a video of a housekeeper in a hotel trying to steal until she saw a camera that was on and stopped her attempt to steal.
How do you get through security with hidden money wallets like ones you attach to bras or undies. I’ve been known to load my secret cloth wallets with cash and put them in my carry on. Once I clear security I hit the restroom and relocate my ‘stash’ to my body.
I often hang my passport/cards belt in the curtains of a room. It hides nicely in the folds. When travelling I wear it with a fairly loose strap so it hides inside my underpants, not tight around the waist. Certainly never have serious valuables in a handbag or daypack! I also wear a sleeveless travel vest with multiple internal 'secret' pockets for phone etc and never ever take it off.. apart from going through security screening of course. The outer pockets are ideal for having boarding pass/light cash and a card easily available without messing around with a bag. And the pockets are big enough to carry things like a power bank, so they don't weigh down my hand luggage (weight limits)
My tip, 0% need for more than a carry on suitcase and a crossbody skinny bag under your clothes. Make copies of all documents and put in different places and give to fellow travelers
Exactly. I take nothing that I can't afford to not come home with. We've been in South America for 11 or the past 12 months. I stopped carrying my primary phone out in the street. I got a cheap $80 phone off Amazon and use it with a local SIM card at $10 a month for far more data than I use. Still works fine for navigation, translarion, reading and photos. But if stolen, no financal apps, no PII even if cracked on a computer.
Very useful tips..now need to buy carabiners..and will use zipties... If u use zipties always keep a nailclipper so that u have something to cut it when u open ur backpack/suitcase..its more handy than scissors.
You can leave a dummy wallet stuff with old used-up gift cards at your hotel where a criminal can see it. They're usually searching for a wallet & more likely move on.
We’d be travelling with our eldest daughter to Mumbai and Delhi - India, today. Next month will be another trip with our two youngest ones who are teenagers to Mulu and Miri - Sarawak, Malaysia. We will be watching all your other videos too. Thank you again for the great content ❤️
@@ProjectUntethered We have came back unscathed. We remembered all your tips. As for money, we also used flat money belt and tuck it to the inside of our pants waistline. Thank you again for the tips.
1/ I will never put my passport or credit card in a bag. Only on myself in zipped pockets 2/ how about locking your bag in the room, and putting the valuables outside in weird places !
On a sour note: many people in the US believe the Trump propaganda that life is hell because they get their "reality" fed from Fox news. The actual truth is that crime has gone down.
If you don't want to lose anything to a taxi, book a four-seater taxi just for you. Insist on having both bags with you. This is because some taxi drivers may try to charge an inflated flat rate instead of using the government directed meter. Then they'll try to force you to pay that and while your bag is locked in the trunk. The only service I use in Southeast Asia is Grab cars (besides tricycle taxis or habal-habal motorbike taxis). Grab rides are positively tracked, you can see the driver's face and ID the car, and also share ride tracking with a friend.
I live near Detroit. I always have an old phone and a fake wallet in a small purse I’m not crazy about. Nothing with my name or address- random prescription cards, a found credit card, some cash. I found a car key fob while hiking and that’s going in the bag. I keep a flip phone in my car trunk. You don’t need an account to call 911 on an old phone. If my phone is stolen or destroyed or (please, no) I end up locked in the trunk, I can call 911 and my auto maker can track my car. Thanks for the video!
Yes, but can a phone signal get through the trunk? If the trunk enclosure is metal, it might act like a Faraday Cage. Try putting a phone in the trunk and then calling it. Listen to find out if it still works.
@@robertwilliamson922 My trunk doesn’t act like a Faraday cage for my current cell when the phone is closed inside. Because I can’t call the old cell, I hate to climb in, close the lid and call the police. The battery still had a bar after MONTHS in the trunk. Also, I had forgotten how to turn it on! Press send and end together. I’m charging three other old phones, just in case. Thanks!
Here’s an idea…bring a money belt. Pack it in your checked or carry on luggage for use when you get to your destination. Once at your hotel put $ or other valuables in the belt then hang the belt in the closet behind your coat, dress clothes or what ever. I never EVER pack all my $ in one place. $ will go in my socks, my bra LOL, or any other place that doesn’t look suspicious.
In India I was always getting approached by people or being stared at for the wristwatch I was wearing. And this even though it was a low-end, battery-powered Timex. It was such a hassle. Well, once some guy asked me for my watch, but I saw he was wearing a watch already, an Indian watch of no particular value, of the brand Taj. So I told him, sure, he could have my watch if I could have his! Well he was delighted. We made the trade, and from there on I had a cool Indian watch that told time just fine but which absolutely no one wanted! So now I know to always just wear a cheap local watch.
My hard case. I use yellow cable ties and tie them to the handles. Someone also told me you can buy Anti tamper proof number seal tags in bright colours. Also go buy a cheap dress/ engagement and wedding ring.
I have travelled the world and never had an issue. One must know their surroundings. Pickpockets and thieves in many countries usually work in groups. Crowded areas are ideal for them. Fanny packs are easy for them no matter if you have them in the front. When traveling simplicity is best. Low key on Jewelry, nice casual clothes works well. I never use the safety box of the hotel room but instead, always use my luggage to store items of value which are locked at all times. Lastly, all my bags have Samsung Galaxy SmartTag trackers hidden inside. I know where they are at all times even when the airlines have them.
My sister's built in locks were broken open and then, of course she needed a whole new suitcase. I already do most of what you suggest but I'm going to see about getting air tags for my next trip. My phone is attached to me by a special locking bungee. I always use it because I'm inclined to drop my phone which can be an expensive. I keep my passport and phone in a waist wallet.
In the Philippines they will cut your backpack with a razor and also cut your pocket. They will just follow you and wait for your stuff or wallet to hit the ground
Just bring laptop everywhere with backpack 😂😂😂, use light laptop backpack as Troica from Germany. Or bring Ipad pro M2 for working. Cash money should be spread into several places. Now bring 1 backpack for clothes, 1 backpack for laptop & 1 small sling bag. Bring 3-4 shirts, 5 underwears, 1 trousers, 2 shorts for 1 month trip. Use coin ❤laundry every 3-4 days.
Good ideas. One thing you got wrong (not explicitly though). That's the cable and lock for your room. NEVER EVER EVER use a master dial lock like the one you showed. They can easily be opened by striking it on the side in the right place. They just pop open. Use a keyed one that requires picking, not just a heavy object. Oh and NEVER EVER use a Master Lock - ever. Even the keyed ones. They are the worst of the worst of the worst for picking, opening without a key, and just in general opening by a thief.
The best backpacks tht I've found are ones that open from the back (so you have to take it off to get to the contents, usually this is mostly found with camera bags but I've found those to perhaps be the most secure because someone can't usually reach in and get at the contens because you've feel their hand and probably break their fingers if you moved suddently or jerkfed back while they where trying to reach in, so to me, some camera backpacks actually are better for this reason. I do agree about not putting anything valuable in your checked bag. That's just travel 101. I'm in the same mindset that if someone really wants my Walmart clothes (I rarely bring expensive clothes anyway unless I need to dress up and am going to wedding maybe) then they can have them. But all valuables stay with me at all times except if I have to leave something in a hotel, then I usually just hide it.
Most of these require a lot of time when packing and everytime you need to take or use your item. There are a lot if things we can do but it's a matter of balance between paranoia and convenience. One tip I would add is having a slim pouch under the shirt. I used one in Brazil.
yes I've done this too. mine was a 'flex' bag. wore it under jacket/jumper. Also have a slim pouch like you've mentioned. that's the best. happy safe travels.
That’s a good idea! Yeah some of these can take an extra minute, but for me the peace of mind is worth it. I suppose it depends on the person, where they’re staying, and what they’re traveling with.
A mugger didn't want to take my friends gold rolex because the thief said it was a fake, and that he wanted his real watch. It was and still is real. That was a $10,000 watch.
The camera is freaking awesome! But we’re still learning how to use it. Yeah that’s a great tip! I also do that with the carabiner when I’m working out at the park

Excellent. I love old cartoons about diapers.
Create a checklist if you hide stuff in a hotel room to check before leaving. Always more likely to forget something than have it stolen.
Please!!!
@jerryrobinson7856 yeah that is very true!!
I knew a guy that had a pair of old white underwear with a painted brown stain in them. A hidden pocket was sewn into them. Nobody ever touched them.
I need to meet this legend.

Wow I’m sorry to hear that. We try to put the no cleaning sign up or at least lock up our valuables inside our backpack when we leave.
Wow. For so many of my early years of traveling, I did not have to worry about hardly even have of the risks that we have now. Those were much more simpler and safer times.

The hotel staff knows every hiding place in every room, far better than you every will. Don't try to hide your valuables that way, it won't work.
Buy a decent flight bag (that's a cover that goes around your luggage), and put a lock on it. Sure, someone with a knife can still get through, but none of your items will be visible. And if you come back to your hotel and your flight bag is ripped open the hotel has to explain what happened (who had access to your room, are there camera images, etc.), as there is clear evidence of vandalism, at least. And of course you can use the same bag while you are actually in transit.
That would definitely be idea, but if you don’t have space (or don’t want to carry) the extra cover, I think hiding your valuables is more secure than not hiding them. Even if they know all the hiding spots, they’re not gonna want to be in your room for long in fear that you’ll return. This is even more true in airbnbs and guest houses where it’s not just the hotel staff that you have to worry about. Putting your wallet in the grilled cheese maker is far more secure than leaving it out on the bedside table (just don’t forget it! 🤣 )
I always put straps (the ones that have to be broken to be opened) in all checked luggage. Because in many airports they do put drugs inside. If I find any broken ones, I call security. It´s also a good idea to take pictures of them when arriving to the airport.
Very smart!
Great ideas. Thanks In the military it was all about 'situational awareness' - pay attention to the things (people) around you!
Exactly! If you were in the military, travel will be a cakewalk haha.
If I stop to check my phone or something in the middle of a town square during the day in a tourist area, I will stand so I can see my shadow, then I can easily see if someone walks behind me without needed to constantly look.

One time in the Philippines I was so angry at the abundance of pickpockets I wanted to put fish hooks on string inside my backpack so that when they reached in they were definitely be attached and then just bring them to the police. Watch sometimes when walking near a 2,3 m. fence or wall sometimes people will grab stuff and throw it to their partner over the wall. Also beware when someone touches you on your left shoulder look to your right side first. If a pretty girl tries to catch your attention turn around and see what's behind you. One time in Guayaquil Ecuador a youth wrapped his arms around my arms and my chest from behind while another one stuck his hand in my pocket and grabbed my money. I chased them down the street screaming for the police and two plain-clothes cops came out of nowhere and grabbed the sob and gave me back my money. After fifty years of travel I've learned a few things.
Wow those are some amazing tips! The fish hook one made me laugh 😂
Thank you! I found your tips most helpful!
The state of the world where thieves now rule it … is so tragic
thx for the tip about looking in the opposite direction!
This is Brilliant!! Ok, so very specifically, please tell me where I would go to purchase chicken wire or fish hooks in your traveled countries. It’s not like Home Depot is available everywhere and asking to go to a construction site is not going to be helpful. Thanks
I have secret pockets too. It's called my sock and shoe 😂
That’s a good one!
Cautious without constantly worrying. Great advice 👍🏼

Not only can luggage zippers easlily be opened with a pen, they also can be closed again without leaving any evidence, thus making it easy to plant things in your luggage.
In Argentina, they wear the backpack on the front. And, if you're going to use an old phone as a drop phone, make sure you take the sim card out. Bad guys have incredible access to your accounts with your sim card.
Very good tips!
I do wear my backpack 🎒 on my front when is crowded and when I noticed people get close to me .
What accounts? You can save things to SIM cards???
What can you do with a mobile SIM that I have no idea about because I'm so used to not having signal and only ever use WiFi?
What research do I need to do?
@@Roadent1241Do a Google search for personal data stored on your SIM card. Or will benefit more than a short explanation.
@@Roadent1241 when you enter internet banking. Bank send you sms. Not all but some yes...
When you want to access your google account without password, google send you sms... When someone take over your phone number and email account more bad things can happen. Stealling your identity... etc...
If you hide your stuff on weird places, remember to write that down on your phone, so you can check for them before you leave and don't leave them behind!
On my backpack, I use an old metal diaper pin. You have to slide the cap up, then pinch inwards to open the pin. I'm very sensitive to touch, so that helps too. I love the dummy wallet idea.
Excellent edit Patrick! You always do such an incredible job using footage from different devices. Beautiful scenery and great musical accompaniment.
Dude! I have been carrying dummy wallets and phones and sewing secret pockets in my travel pants for years, and spreading the gospel! So cool to see a RUclips video recommending this!
Ditto to the wallets and secret pockets in the pants.
@5:23 Years ago an airport employee told me that one should not use expensive brand name suitcases, although they are probably more secure, because thieves think that expensive suitcases probably have more valuables in them.
That makes a lot of sense! Or maybe the best of both worlds would be to slap some duct tape on it 😎
Fantastic tips! I like the unconventional hotel hiding spots. I usually lock my valuables in my luggage, but you’re right - somebody could see that and intuit that there’s something good in there and just take the whole thing 😳
The trick is to not forget where everything is stashed and leave something behind!
Hahaha yea that would be bad! We have one go to hiding spot but didn’t mention it in the video in case there are any thieves stalking us 😂😂😂
@@ProjectUntethered Ha ha! I'm not that smart. I share all my best tips on my channel. ;-)
The zip idea is great. Having the zip at the top - it’s closer to your ears to hear it!
Works if you're hearing. I'd need them with a stick attached to mine so I can feel the vibration XD
TSA are often times the ones doing the stealing
Has that happened to you??
I know of a local here in Hawaiian Islands who makes museum quality shell leis for a living … TSA stole them all
I got an old iPhone stolen out of my luggage by Colombian airport security. It does happen, keep all valuables with your carryon bags.
@@ProjectUntethered We don't know if it was TSA or the baggage handlers but my wife's Blue Official Handicrapper Placard was stolen out of her suitcase when we left DFW for our Hawaii trip. So, I don't trust any of those devils.....ANY of them. Relinquish control of your stuff and you are at risk of being robbed.
@@ProjectUntetheredAfter my grandmother died, my mom was flying home with a bunch of grandma’s jewelry in her checked bag. TSA stole it all.
A lot of great tips. Thank you. I agree with someone else's comment. I like the way you get right into your topic and you don't have a 2-minute introduction
A crossbody bag is something I use to help me be more comfortable on an international trip.
Your videos have been in my recommend for the last 48 hours and I am traveling out of the country for the first time and I have been finding these super helpful. Definitely subbing. Thanks.
So glad you found it helpful! Where are you traveling? Hope you have a fun trip!
@@ProjectUntethered traveling to Newcastle upon Tyne from the USA. It will be next year, but I’m excited and nervous.
Same here! These tip videos really ease my nerves, but also raise them at the same time. 😂 Hope you had a lovely trip.
Very good tricks and information here! A lot of these are not the typical ones mentioned in other videos. Thanks!
I’m glad you found them helpful! That’s what I was going for 😋
Good video. There is a point when the cure becomes worse than the disease. I've lost a few important items over the years when I forgot where I hid them. I've only ever been "properly" mugged once and it was a result of drawing attention to myself, albeit as a result of trying to help someone else who was drunk. Basic precautions and sensible behaviour is all that's needed.
I grew up in a sketchy area with a lot of thieves, so i do about 80% of these tips. From time to time over the years I think about this and I am always thinking that I am exaggerating. Nice to see that others use these too!
I’m not traveling overnight on a bus through sketchy areas that’s one way I avoid that problem
Wise choice!
I now travel wearing these stretchy Wrangler Cargo Pants, that look nice but have two zipper pockets down at the knee level where You can place your passport in one, and wallet and money in the other.......Also the waistband is stretchy so if you bloat on a long flight, they are still comfortable. About 25 bucks
Zipper pockets FTW!
Until the thieves tell you to take off your pants 😂
I gave up on written travel journals years ago. Notes are now typed in my iPhone during the day or dictated in my hotel room at night. It all goes to iCloud and I don’t have to worry about anyone stealing my journal. When I get home, I add pictures I took along the way and have an incredible and very neat memory of the trip. And without any spelling or grammar mistakes!
When we are in a airbnb type of place that has a kitchen or a hotel that has a little kitchen, I hide my valuables under or in old pots and pans in lower cabinets. If the garbage can is big enough and has a plastic liner in it, I will put valuables between the liner and can at bottom and make sure I have junk on top. I find that the biggest issue is to have a check out on my phone to remind me before checking out to get my valuables. I also have on the check list adapters because I have left several in rooms plugged in.
Wow as long as you don’t forget anything, that sounds like a 100% theft proof plan. Unless perhaps the cleaning lady at a hotel accidentally through it away haha. A checklist is very smart too.
If you don't need a laptop for work don't carry one with you. You can do 95% of you stuff with your smartphone today.
You don't need 95% of the shit Americans with backpacks take with them on vacation, especially if you go anywhere in Europe. All you need for clothes (for guys) is 7 pairs of underwear/socks, 2 or 3 pairs of pants, 2 button down shirts, 5 solid color t-shirts. Charger, toothbrush, toothpaste (which one could and SHOULD, along with their suitcase, NOT backpack, leave in their hotel room) and €100 cash (need more use a ATM). That's it.
Yeah travel is definitely less complicated when you’re not mixing it with work!
I’d recommend a basic tablet in lieu of a laptop. Much less weight and easier to carry. Plus much less cost to replace if stolen.
That could be a great option! I’m not sure if I could get used to working on one though 🤔
@@DrVVVinK I travel the tropics. So I take a total of three pairs of pants, (one of them I wear on the plane). A packable brimmed hat. Three button shirts, (one of them I wear on the plane), two pair of Teva Holliway men’s sandals. (One pair wear, one pair packed). One pair of socks for on the plane. A packable clothesline by Sea to Summit. I wash my clothes in the sink or shower and hang them to dry in my hotel room or apartment if I rent an apartment.
Tech is my iPad Mini, iPhone 13 Mini, and Sonim XP3 flip phone.
21 litre backpack and a small crossbody sling bag. That’s all. Carry-on only. Even if I go for months at a time.
Knowledgeable guy and very good tips ! 👍
Thank you for your tips. You are right, just to be prepared and protect our goods in advance so we won't get disappointed and frustrated.
So helpful!!! Thank you
Thank you, learned something new.
You’re very welcome! :-)
I ordered hard shell luggage without zippers and with TSA locks because my son showed me how easy it is to open a zipper with a pen and then rezip it. I couldn’t tell afterwards!
That is honestly probably the most anti theft way to do it!
Also in your hotel room at night put your case behind the door with the handles facing away from the door opening, Anyone trying to get in will be in for a surprise and the noise will wake you up.
Smart idea!
no need,,,u can buy very cheap door blocks,,,,then impossible to get inside when u sleeping
Where can you buy door blockers?
@@Shininglight1234look up portable door lock. They're as cheap as a sandwich. You could also consider a door wedge alarm, but you can travel with the batteries in as it's extremely loud if accidentally triggered, and then there is also that issue of batteries and keeping them in your carry on.
My dummy wallet was picked in Nicaragua. The con was brilliant, but I was happy to have the last laugh.
One tip is to use your pad lock to lock your room door. Did this once in Granada (Island) and it saved me.
Haha you should have a dummy wallet and put Monopoly money in it 😂
They make toilet paper money bills. Haha.
Good job - one of the best videos I've seen on this topic!
Thanks for the kind words! 🤗
(just to say that english isn't my first language)
My first big trip was in Indonesia with a college group (the teacher made it every year) when I was 19. I kinda new security tips and had bought a CAA travel handbag that I always had on me (with all kind of security stuff built in) where I put all of my essentials in (medicaments, passport, etc). Lets just say that I was glad that I did this, because not even 10 hours in Indonesia, our minibus that was parked in a place with some convenience stores around was robbed of all of the stuff that were left on the seats (except my raincoat, I guess I was lucky). Our big backpacks in the trunk were still there, but half of our group had their passports stolen because they left them in their bags that were stolen.
We were not even in a tourist area, it was like 4am during Ramadan (so stores were open) and so we just waited in a Mcdonald making our first contact with our parents and the teacher and our driver were devastated. In the end they never found their passports so our trip was changed a bit to make new ones.
Anyway, even the simplest action to keep your things safe could make or break your trip. :)
I’m glad you didn’t lose yours! You bring up a really good point. When I’m traveling between places, I always keep my passport in my Fanny pack so I never get separated from it!
This was super helpful. Love your videos. Perhaps the best you tube travel guy around.
You just made my day! 😇
Really helpful tips! Thanks for sharing these valuable insights to keep our belongings safe while traveling. 👍
Also, a double-sided “S” shaped carabiner to connect two zipper pulls together. It’s not a lock, but it’s harder to open the bag if both zipper pulls move together.
If the sofa cushions have zippers that's often a good place to stash.
Use zip ties to lock backpack zipper pulls together.
That’s a good one!
It is nice to keep valuables in locations where thieves don't know where they are hidden. I watched a video of a housekeeper in a hotel trying to steal until she saw a camera that was on and stopped her attempt to steal.
Yikes! Yeah I may be paranoid, but I usually opt out of housekeeping unless I know my stuff is safe.
That is nice tips
Great tips and right to the point! LOVE!!!
Great precautions-excellent safety advice! Thanks so much 🙏
Great info which I haven’t seen elsewhere. Thank you.
How do you get through security with hidden money wallets like ones you attach to bras or undies. I’ve been known to load my secret cloth wallets with cash and put them in my carry on. Once I clear security I hit the restroom and relocate my ‘stash’ to my body.
Very creative suggestions. Thanks!
I often hang my passport/cards belt in the curtains of a room. It hides nicely in the folds. When travelling I wear it with a fairly loose strap so it hides inside my underpants, not tight around the waist. Certainly never have serious valuables in a handbag or daypack! I also wear a sleeveless travel vest with multiple internal 'secret' pockets for phone etc and never ever take it off.. apart from going through security screening of course. The outer pockets are ideal for having boarding pass/light cash and a card easily available without messing around with a bag. And the pockets are big enough to carry things like a power bank, so they don't weigh down my hand luggage (weight limits)
Great job telling people to look in curtains XD
@@Roadent1241 Quite right. I never hide my stuff in curtains. Just wrote it as a decoy :)
Sorry, Theatre teacher here…it is Diane.. and I…..not me and Diane!
Good advice! Thank you!
No one cares about antiqueted language rules
Yes.
Thanks for the tips. And dude, I wish I had those eyes!
I actually have small locks that you can lock 🔒 the 2 zippers together. I also have a bike lock for my hotel room
My tip, 0% need for more than a carry on suitcase and a crossbody skinny bag under your clothes. Make copies of all documents and put in different places and give to fellow travelers
I look at my travel check in luggage and say, " Can I live if I lost all if this?" When I say yes, I know I'm ready to travel.
That’s a good mantra to live by!
Great mindset. We can’t be too attached to things
Exactly. I take nothing that I can't afford to not come home with. We've been in South America for 11 or the past 12 months. I stopped carrying my primary phone out in the street. I got a cheap $80 phone off Amazon and use it with a local SIM card at $10 a month for far more data than I use. Still works fine for navigation, translarion, reading and photos. But if stolen, no financal apps, no PII even if cracked on a computer.

Very useful tips..now need to buy carabiners..and will use zipties...
If u use zipties always keep a nailclipper so that u have something to cut it when u open ur backpack/suitcase..its more handy than scissors.
That’s a very good point!
Plus, you cannot fly with scissors.
Anyone can open zipties anywhete, anytime in seconds.
@@eileenb1855
While it’s on your backpack, and without you noticing…I’d say that’s not likely.
I’ve got a Pacsafe backpack which has zippers that are locked so the compartments can not be opened quickly. A very well thought out backpack.
I've been wanting to test that out!
Great video! I hope lots of people comment so the algorithm will get the word out there.
I hope so too!
You can leave a dummy wallet stuff with old used-up gift cards at your hotel where a criminal can see it. They're usually searching for a wallet & more likely move on.
Very smart! I got tired of carrying the dummy around, but leaving it out in the open in your room is a smart and easy idea!
Thank you for the great video. We are making all our children to watch this before our next trip.
I’m so happy you found it helpful! Where are you all traveling to?
We’d be travelling with our eldest daughter to Mumbai and Delhi - India, today. Next month will be another trip with our two youngest ones who are teenagers to Mulu and Miri - Sarawak, Malaysia. We will be watching all your other videos too. Thank you again for the great content ❤️
@kamaleliyah wow that sounds amazing! Let me know how it goes if you remember! 😎
@@ProjectUntethered We have came back unscathed. We remembered all your tips. As for money, we also used flat money belt and tuck it to the inside of our pants waistline. Thank you again for the tips.
@eliyahosman6699 you’re very welcome! I’m glad you guys made it back safe and sound!
1/ I will never put my passport or credit card in a bag. Only on myself in zipped pockets
2/ how about locking your bag in the room, and putting the valuables outside in weird places !
That's pretty clever!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
I'm never leaving my house.
😂😂😂
😂😂😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On a sour note: many people in the US believe the Trump propaganda that life is hell because they get their "reality" fed from Fox news. The actual truth is that crime has gone down.
I’m deceased
Thank you! For your info 👍🏼
If you don't want to lose anything to a taxi, book a four-seater taxi just for you. Insist on having both bags with you. This is because some taxi drivers may try to charge an inflated flat rate instead of using the government directed meter. Then they'll try to force you to pay that and while your bag is locked in the trunk.
The only service I use in Southeast Asia is Grab cars (besides tricycle taxis or habal-habal motorbike taxis). Grab rides are positively tracked, you can see the driver's face and ID the car, and also share ride tracking with a friend.
Very good tip! Yeah apps like a grab and a Uber make things a lot safer and prevent scams. I love them!
I absolutely loved your video video
I live near Detroit. I always have an old phone and a fake wallet in a small purse I’m not crazy about. Nothing with my name or address- random prescription cards, a found credit card, some cash. I found a car key fob while hiking and that’s going in the bag. I keep a flip phone in my car trunk. You don’t need an account to call 911 on an old phone. If my phone is stolen or destroyed or (please, no) I end up locked in the trunk, I can call 911 and my auto maker can track my car. Thanks for the video!
That’s what I call preparation!!
Yes, but can a phone signal get through the trunk? If the trunk enclosure is metal, it might act like a Faraday Cage. Try putting a phone in the trunk and then calling it. Listen to find out if it still works.
@@robertwilliamson922 My trunk doesn’t act like a Faraday cage for my current cell when the phone is closed inside. Because I can’t call the old cell, I hate to climb in, close the lid and call the police. The battery still had a bar after MONTHS in the trunk. Also, I had forgotten how to turn it on! Press send and end together. I’m charging three other old phones, just in case. Thanks!
@@ProjectUntetheredthose are my thoughts exactly!😮
Here’s an idea…bring a money belt. Pack it in your checked or carry on luggage for use when you get to your destination. Once at your hotel put $ or other valuables in the belt then hang the belt in the closet behind your coat, dress clothes or what ever.
I never EVER pack all my $ in one place. $ will go in my socks, my bra LOL, or any other place that doesn’t look suspicious.
In India I was always getting approached by people or being stared at for the wristwatch I was wearing. And this even though it was a low-end, battery-powered Timex. It was such a hassle. Well, once some guy asked me for my watch, but I saw he was wearing a watch already, an Indian watch of no particular value, of the brand Taj. So I told him, sure, he could have my watch if I could have his! Well he was delighted. We made the trade, and from there on I had a cool Indian watch that told time just fine but which absolutely no one wanted! So now I know to always just wear a cheap local watch.
Great video. Thank you!
Good ideas, especially for novice travelers 👍🏻
My hard case. I use yellow cable ties and tie them to the handles. Someone also told me you can buy Anti tamper proof number seal tags in bright colours. Also go buy a cheap dress/ engagement and wedding ring.
I have travelled the world and never had an issue. One must know their surroundings. Pickpockets and thieves in many countries usually work in groups. Crowded areas are ideal for them. Fanny packs are easy for them no matter if you have them in the front. When traveling simplicity is best. Low key on Jewelry, nice casual clothes works well. I never use the safety box of the hotel room but instead, always use my luggage to store items of value which are locked at all times. Lastly, all my bags have Samsung Galaxy SmartTag trackers hidden inside. I know where they are at all times even when the airlines have them.
Thanks for sharing these great tips!
Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag trackers 👌👍. Great idea. Tq 4 sharing
My sister's built in locks were broken open and then, of course she needed a whole new suitcase. I already do most of what you suggest but I'm going to see about getting air tags for my next trip. My phone is attached to me by a special locking bungee. I always use it because I'm inclined to drop my phone which can be an expensive. I keep my passport and phone in a waist wallet.
Wow I’ve never heard of the phone bungee before, that’s genius!
@@ProjectUntethered I bought it from Go Outdoors here in the U.K.
In the Philippines they will cut your backpack with a razor and also cut your pocket.
They will just follow you and wait for your stuff or wallet to hit the ground
get slash proof Pacsafe bags
Just bring laptop everywhere with backpack 😂😂😂, use light laptop backpack as Troica from Germany. Or bring Ipad pro M2 for working. Cash money should be spread into several places. Now bring 1 backpack for clothes, 1 backpack for laptop & 1 small sling bag. Bring 3-4 shirts, 5 underwears, 1 trousers, 2 shorts for 1 month trip. Use coin ❤laundry every 3-4 days.
Good ideas. One thing you got wrong (not explicitly though). That's the cable and lock for your room. NEVER EVER EVER use a master dial lock like the one you showed. They can easily be opened by striking it on the side in the right place. They just pop open. Use a keyed one that requires picking, not just a heavy object. Oh and NEVER EVER use a Master Lock - ever. Even the keyed ones. They are the worst of the worst of the worst for picking, opening without a key, and just in general opening by a thief.
Don't worry, been paranoid long before this video. I enjoyed it and subscribed!
The best backpacks tht I've found are ones that open from the back (so you have to take it off to get to the contents, usually this is mostly found with camera bags but I've found those to perhaps be the most secure because someone can't usually reach in and get at the contens because you've feel their hand and probably break their fingers if you moved suddently or jerkfed back while they where trying to reach in, so to me, some camera backpacks actually are better for this reason.
I do agree about not putting anything valuable in your checked bag. That's just travel 101. I'm in the same mindset that if someone really wants my Walmart clothes (I rarely bring expensive clothes anyway unless I need to dress up and am going to wedding maybe) then they can have them. But all valuables stay with me at all times except if I have to leave something in a hotel, then I usually just hide it.
Zippers on top usually come on done cause of the weight, zip on side use carabiners to hook zippers tags together.
Most of these require a lot of time when packing and everytime you need to take or use your item. There are a lot if things we can do but it's a matter of balance between paranoia and convenience. One tip I would add is having a slim pouch under the shirt. I used one in Brazil.
yes I've done this too. mine was a 'flex' bag. wore it under jacket/jumper. Also have a slim pouch like you've mentioned. that's the best. happy safe travels.
That’s a good idea! Yeah some of these can take an extra minute, but for me the peace of mind is worth it. I suppose it depends on the person, where they’re staying, and what they’re traveling with.
Love your video. Big question: what are you filming with at the beginning of your video? It appears to be an invisible selfie stick. 🤷♀️😁
Insta360 x3! We just bought it and are still figuring it out, but so far we’ve been able to get some epic shots relatively easily (coming soon 😉)
A mugger didn't want to take my friends gold rolex because the thief said it was a fake, and that he wanted his real watch. It was and still is real. That was a $10,000 watch.
I just avoid going to certain countries/places.
Great Video, thanx ❤ ...the thieves can watch it aswell, though 😂
Great advice! And how do you like the 360 camera?
I also use a carabiner on busses when the pack is with me (wrap it around the seat post).
The camera is freaking awesome! But we’re still learning how to use it. Yeah that’s a great tip! I also do that with the carabiner when I’m working out at the park
3:10 “Someone opening my zipper and sticking their hand in there”… isn’t that something I have to pay extra for?
😂😂😂
