For air travel- two uses for small stuff sacks (or even a plastic bag will do). 1. When going through TSA, I put all my pocket stuff (cell phone, keys, wallet, ear buds, etc.) into a bag so they are all together through the x-ray machine, then I can find them all as soon as I get through. 2. Stuff sack with a caribiner to keep my essentials with me at the seat, my backpack can go overhead or under the seat in front but the sack has the things I might want to get to even when you're not supposed to have your bags out (battery pack, headphones, water bottle, small snacks...)
My travel tip, not just the standard use packing cubes, but a variation. If you're going to be traveling to multiple destinations dont pack t-shirts in one cube, socks in another etc. Pack whole outfits for 2-3 days into a single cube depending on itinerary. E.g. 1 pair shorts, 2 t-shirts, 2 underwear, etc. You then dont need to unpack a whole suitcase just a cube at a time, plus when you've worn the outfit you can put the dirty stuff back into the cube.
My travel hack: laundry detergent sheets (not dryer sheets…) have become hugely popular and affordable in the last fews years. Take a few full sheets with you and you’ll always have peace of mind knowing you can use an Airbnb’s/laundromat’s washing machine or can hand wash your stuff in a sink. The best part is the sheets can be easily torn into your desired size. They also weigh almost nothing and you don’t have to deal with messy liquid detergent ever again!
@@littlekong7685yes, but if the outlet is in an inconvenient location, so are your chargers. A cord lets you put them where *you* want it, not where the architect decided to put it.
I'm a traveling carpenter and I drive. Non alcoholic mouthwash, spray deodorant, and a full tank of gas. As long as you're clean you can be homeless until you make it to your hotel. Pretend to shop in large stores, sleep in parking lots and rest stops. Go to a grocery store and eat food that doesn't need to be cooked like vegetables cheese fruit and nuts, it's cheaper than eating out
@@bsharittnot only shirts but pants and jackets and anything I can roll. I do roll with the ranger roll technique or whatever the proper names is. I found an instruction vid calling it that.
Can confirm, my grandpa parked his Prius (he doesn’t have a garage so no worries there) one day and when he went to drive it THREE DAYS later, he found that it was still running!
Based on this vid and listing photos, I *think* that apron is a color called Ranger Green. It's very similar to Olive Drab but a bit more grey. Tons of hook/loop availability since it's popular for "tactical" gear.
Travel TIP: Keep a color copy of your U.S. passport ID page (name, photo, passport number, etc) in your luggage and in your wallet/purse. If you lose your actual passport (or it gets stolen), having a copy of it can expedite the process of identification AND getting a replacement while in a foreign country.
Great tip. Having copies of your passport is also handy for hotels, rentals, and other private companies who want to see an ID. I won't hand my passport over to anyone except law enforcement and airline staff, everyone else who asks gets a copy
My travel pro tips: • Bring an external battery • Bring some toothpicks • A book for take off and landing • A small backpack to store glasses, phones, passport, sunscreen, external battery etc when sightseeing or hiking. And I find pretty useful the KonMari fold.
Large ziplocks can be super handy as well. great as emergency bags for snacks or leftovers, fill with hotel ice and water for a refreshing icepack for sore feet, and going home, put the stinky clothes inside to preserve whats left for the final leg of the journey in the rest of the bag.
It's not really my business. However I would like to urge you to minimize the use of toothpicks and switch to dental floss or some contraption that looks luke tiny slingshot with floss placed between two posts. My dentist told me toothpicks ruin your gums by lowering them. Floss is safer bet. I hope you find this helpful.
Pick-off power cords (a through-plug plus a hanging plug) are just fantastic. They preserve a plug, are stackable, and allow wall warts where they would otherwise be physically unusable. An electroluminescent night light. Red is best, green is most common. Put one in the bathroom. Lastly, about 50 feet of 250 pound paracord. It's compact and you can use it for so many things. Not least of which is hanging your cloths to dry. At this point, unless forced to do otherwise, I'm a terminal one-bagger.
If travelling internationally for work and you require a toolkit, make a spreadsheet of your gear and print it out. Whenever customs has stopped me, i get the sense that theyre looking for lies. Being a nerd with a spreadsheet eases much tension and speeds the process. Also, if your tool selection is refined, cut some foam. Trying to memorize a cluttered pelican is impossible, but an empty cutout lets you know immediately if you are missing something.
Once I started rolling my shirts for travel, I ended up rolling everything, and it lets you pull stuff right out without unfurling your entire bag! I've heard of it referred to as 'ranger pack/ing', so I'm sure it comes from the military somewhere, but it's just too useful!
I JUST found out you have a RUclips channel and omg am I happy about it! I was a massive fan of Mythbusters and I always thought you and all the other Mythbusters must be a ton of fun to hang out with!
Adam used to also have a podcast called "Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project" with the Tested crew. While they stopped making new episodes, it was a very good podcast and I think you might enjoy listening to it.
@@ShepherdsCreek if you dig a bit it's on the Tested youtube channel. Might have to go far back though since they have not done new episodes in forever.
Grilled Cheese is pretty hard to eff up. Pretty easy to plus it. If your hotel kitchen can’t cook a decent grilled cheese, they probably have other problems too.
I use a compression sack for clothing when I travel, they reduce the volume by 1/3 to 1/2. It does leave your clothes wrinkly but I'm an unkempt goblin who doesn't care
as a video/photo team that travels, know what you mean with tsa always opening certain cases. We used essentially a gun case to transport our slider and it ALWAYS got opened and that little slip of paper from the tsa in it. we just left them in there so when we finally retired that we had at least ten of those slipe in there lol
Packing cubes, clothes stacked then tucked in at the sides to fit the shape of the cube. Did a 2-month trek across the UK with one carryon backpack packed like that. Granted, it was before smartphones and me needing to lug every piece of electronics I own with me on every trip. Longer trips: bring less, wash more. Did 2.5 weeks in Scandinavia recently, did laundry half way through.
I used to work for a company that produced t-shirts for every project we completed. Over 13 years and tons of completed projects, I still have 90% of them 30+ years later! So, I get it!
Hell yeah to noise-cancelling headphones. I'm autistic so they're an absolutely essential part of my travelling kit. I've got a set of Behringer BH470NCs - they've more than paid for themselves by now with how often they've saved my sanity.
another idea for Leftover Fabric from aprons and bags: Arm protection sleeves. I do a fair amount of 3D resin printing, and I have a tendency to brush my wrist (above my nitrile gloves) against "dirty" surfaces when working on the printer station. I've had to devote an old jacket with long sleeves to the Resin area in my basement. Some "sleeves" might come in handy. Take them outside for UV curing every few uses, and good to go again.
I always take a magnetic rechargeable sensor LED light bar (a portable under cabinet style) and I place it somewhere it will trigger if I get out of bed (without blinding me) - because, finding light switches in unknown rooms and in the dark can be really stressful! ✨
4:51 I have one worse? Better? I let a friend drive my hybrid to the airport where they left it on for 5 days and I found it ran out of gas 🤦♂️ Another reason cars should turn off when you take the keys out of them.
Hey Adam you indicated that you liked the soft bag but I'm not sure which one you're referencing. Can you give us recommendations on the soft bag that you like from Rimowa?
Similar to the Monos trunk the July Checked Trunk is awesome and some very nice colours, the light blue looks amazing. Not available in the US (maybe they ship?) but they do have a store in the UK and also SE Asia.
Take the apron to a paint store, and there will be a device that measures the visible light frequency of the thing you point it at. From this you can interpret the color. Alternatively simply do the old stylie thing and get a heap of color swatches from a paint or fabric store to compare.
Oh god I have the same issue with phonecalls on Airpods, I fidget and when I'm on a phonecall I'll flick the lid of the airpods open and closed to pass the time, and sometimes it sends the phonecall audio to the airpods instead of the phone that is literally on my face, drives me nuts.
If you dont have Apple money, I use the Soundcore Q30 noise cancelling and could not be happier with the noise reduction, and sound quality. I use them for mowing the lawn, cant hear the mower running anymore.
I’m in Belgium at the moment for a weekend break. Carry on backpack travelling light. 3 days. Used the rolling technique and it’s the best way to travel.
Adam, can you give us some tips you've learned about communicating complex topics to a general audience? A part of my work is communicating the importance and risks associated with certain mission critical systems in addition to how they work and I wanted to get your take.
My biggest travel hack comes from having done a lot of hitch hiking, I pretty much just pack for about three days and then replace or wash things as needed.
My travel tips are Earplugs and AirTags Basically any time your travelling your mind is going to be exhausted. AirTag can help you keep track of your things. And Earplugs can help you sleep in a noisy environment.
Never understood the luxury suitcase thing. Rimowa is in that category. Get a TravelPro flight crew bag. It’s affordable, built like a tank, and will last you decades.
I like the look of the apron, and the luggage sounds sweet. I agree with you about always on electronics. About the apron color question- My first thought was that you would read something on your apron and give a color answer, but I was wrong. Then you said you thought the questioner would have a hard time matching the color, and launched off onto other possible solutions. I thought to myself, 'he doesn't know' and 'why doesn't he just say so?'. Of course, after you'd shared your suggestions, you did say so (good on you for that). Anyway, I checked your shop-site, and it said, "With the use of natural materials, some variance in color to these images is to be expected in both the canvas and the leather materials."
Save clothes that you are about to retire. Socks with a hole , etc... bring that stuff with you and pitch it on the road. Lighter , less full bags coming back.
Irish folks are built different. I visited last October, and during a rainy 13C day I saw a bunch of Irish women in regular swimsuits enjoying the beach and swimming in the ocean. Dunno how y'all do it
I say that you should never pack all your stuff super efficiently so much that it fills your travel bags, because you'll always have more to carry on the way home and/or you won't want to perfectly fold your dirty stuff.
Not sure where to request this. Many people are flocking to an anti-gravity machine in Russia called the Graviflyer. Would you have time to investigate this new technology? Thank you. I enjoy your channel very much!
I have intense dislike for Start-Stop buttons in most modern cars. Key-driven cars had Off, Acc, On and Start positions for a reason: many times you want to stop the car and just have accessories mode running so you can listen to the sound system, conduct a phone call, whatever. If Start-Stop cars even have an accessories mode they often do silly things turn it off after five minutes. Or you can't put the windows up or down unless the engine is running.
Thanks, @@AndrewWorkshop, I know how to get to accessories mode. My point is that it used to be a very simple and useful feature that is now hobbled and artificially limited for no good reasons. In addition to the artificial time limits some vehicles prevent you going straight to accessories mode from running state: you have to fully stop a vehicle before pressing Start again without the brake pedal to get to accessories mode.
People dying because they left their Prius running is an urban legend. Beyond everything else, modern engines run so clean that there's not enough CO (not CO2, come on Adam) to kill you, even in an enclosed garage. Nor do they depress O2 levels sufficiently either.
I've heard the rolling tshirt hack forever but does it actually safe any space? If anything you're running the risk of inefficiently rolling it and introducing more volume in the gaps. A folded tshirt is maximally space efficient right? Zero gaps? Maybe it just reduces wrinkles...
It doesn't save much if any space, but it does reduce wrinkles. Plus it makes the suitcase/bag easier to dig through for a specific item without *adding* wrinkles or needing to re-fold anything.
I don't know whether it's just my computer screen, but to me that apron canvas looks like a dark "raw umber" sort of color? Like a very cool-toned brown.
I used to fly A LOT and I can agree with the soft suitcase. I hated having to gate check my bag (I've had baggage handlers steal from my gate checked bag). So I got a 2nd suitcase that fits in EVERY overhead bin. I often had to sneak it by the bag n*zi flight attendant, but when ever they'd confront me that it didn't fit I'd shove it into the over head with the comment "It fits!" You can't do that with hard suitcases!
The last dozen flights I've gotten on, they were gate checking halfway through the flight and by the time I boarded near the end the rear third of the plane was still half open. I don't know if it's just the flight attendants not communicating and just defaulting to gate checking or what, but it's kind of annoying.
My best hacks: 1. use a folder for piles of paper to store ironed shirts. 2. Bring extra underwear in your carry on 3. Be nice to the staff at the airport, especially when everything goes wrong. It’s not their fault.
Indeed not only are they near impossible to destroy but I even found out that even the tiny ariport that did damage mine had a contract with Rimowa and instantly shipped a replacement and on-site in Cologne they would have repaired it for free while giving me the remote for the TV, a coffee machine and a comfortable sofa to wait.
Keep a couple Powerbars in your bag. Great for when you get stuck, delayed, or arrive when room service is closed. And a club sandwich is my go to hotel food, but beware in the UK - some places put egg salad on it.
I like that Adam mentioned the importance of interfaces being simple and for the designers to no forget their utility. It feels like an increasingly common thing these days with the rise of AI implementation in devices. Those technological failures to function properly and as requested while operating a mass of material, surely gets people killed, as silly as that sounds.
Yeah, one can spend up to 10 grand for a single Rimowa luggage, average maybe 2 grand. Or buy some vintage Samsonite for like 50 bucks. I'm still using my grandparent's Samsonite from 1969 (I'm 60). Indestructible, they even have wheels.
A Rimowa suitcase is expensive but it's nowhere near that expensive. The polycarbonate carry-on is around 670 eur or 700 USD. The aluminum version being around 1000 USD.
@@mlykke I just scanned their website quickly and estimated two grand averaged out. I'm sure some are cheaper, there are many over $2,000. Maybe $1000-$2000 average is closer.
@@Drew_Snydermann The two typical Rimowa suitcases for cabin bags is either to Classic alu which is 1400-1500 USD and the poly which is 850-900 USD. Thats from the Rimowa website, but in reality you don't buy them direct from them so prices will be lower. The large checkin cases are 1150-1800. So overall a fair bit cheaper than your 2K average or your 10K claim, which was my point. They are expensive, but not that expensive. Just because they make some custom/limited models which are super expensive, doesn't mean the rest is crazy.
@@mlykke Even $500 for a suitcase is crazy to me. $500++ so the airlines can beat the hell out of it for you? Been using the $50 Samsonite since 1969 and still going strong. Rich people . . . .
@@Drew_Snydermann First of all a Samsonite suitcase costs quite a bit more than 50 USD today. Second, old suitcases are usually quite heavy and with airlines lowering the weight limits, especially for carry-on that requires lighter suitcases. I'm not saying you should buy a Rimowa, but 500 USD in 2024 isn't really that much. It's just a matter what you prioritize.
A great air travel hack I use is carrying a usb c 10 in 1 explorer edition dockcase hub along with using an S23 Ultra as my main everyday phone. When i go to hotels i can just take an hdmi cable from the back of the tv, or bring my own, plug it into the hub and plug that into my phone. Instantly turns it into a laptop using samsung Dex meaning i have just unlocked all my streaming sites and games available on my phone. If you want extra usability a thin bluetooth keyboard, mouse and a small controller like the switch joycons (they work with android) means you can have a home theatre experience in any hotel
I have a similar annoyance with my AirPods. Whenever I take them out and am just on my phone, even if it’s an hour or so later and the case is in another room my phone and the case will link up. It’s small, but just annoying in general

Oh, great idea!
I use a power cube, works the same and no cord to wrangle and much more compact.
@@littlekong7685 For me the cord is the key. outlets are seldom where i want them.

Totally agree on the shirt rolling. Learned the value of it while touring and during merch sales for bands. You get so much extra space by doing it!
So glad for an apron question! I got the plans a few months ago and I've been planning to make it for my first sewing project.

Public toilet hack: If you destroy a public toilet, leave the seat up on the way out so the person after you will blame the person before you.

I tried this, but the toilet was in too many pieces to keep the seat up.

I’m in Belgium at the moment for a weekend break. Carry on backpack travelling light. 3 days. Used the rolling technique and it’s the best way to travel.
Adam: I need an example of the kind of red I’m talking about
Adam’s mind: Dead blood red!
That brightened my whole morning 🩸 😂
Adam, can you give us some tips you've learned about communicating complex topics to a general audience? A part of my work is communicating the importance and risks associated with certain mission critical systems in addition to how they work and I wanted to get your take.
Oooh…. That must be the safe you told my son and I about in Phoenix. Can’t wait until you feature it.
My biggest travel hack comes from having done a lot of hitch hiking, I pretty much just pack for about three days and then replace or wash things as needed.
O I want, possibly need, to see this system for tees!
Me too! Why did he not show us the system?!
My travel tips are Earplugs and AirTags
Basically any time your travelling your mind is going to be exhausted. AirTag can help you keep track of your things. And Earplugs can help you sleep in a noisy environment.
These are some savage tips
Never understood the luxury suitcase thing. Rimowa is in that category. Get a TravelPro flight crew bag. It’s affordable, built like a tank, and will last you decades.
I like the look of the apron, and the luggage sounds sweet. I agree with you about always on electronics.
About the apron color question- My first thought was that you would read something on your apron and give a color answer, but I was wrong. Then you said you thought the questioner would have a hard time matching the color, and launched off onto other possible solutions. I thought to myself, 'he doesn't know' and 'why doesn't he just say so?'. Of course, after you'd shared your suggestions, you did say so (good on you for that).
Anyway, I checked your shop-site, and it said, "With the use of natural materials, some variance in color to these images is to be expected in both the canvas and the leather materials."
Save clothes that you are about to retire. Socks with a hole , etc... bring that stuff with you and pitch it on the road. Lighter , less full bags coming back.
Trying to sleep in over the ear headphones always caused me serious neck problems.
I read that book about rolling shirts too man...
I live in t-shirts all year round here in Ireland. I very rarely wear a long sleeve top. It could be -5C and I'm in a t-shirt.
Irish folks are built different. I visited last October, and during a rainy 13C day I saw a bunch of Irish women in regular swimsuits enjoying the beach and swimming in the ocean. Dunno how y'all do it
I say that you should never pack all your stuff super efficiently so much that it fills your travel bags, because you'll always have more to carry on the way home and/or you won't want to perfectly fold your dirty stuff.
my travel hack, send someone else 🤣😂🤣
Great video sir
Not sure where to request this. Many people are flocking to an anti-gravity machine in Russia called the Graviflyer. Would you have time to investigate this new technology? Thank you. I enjoy your channel very much!
I have intense dislike for Start-Stop buttons in most modern cars. Key-driven cars had Off, Acc, On and Start positions for a reason: many times you want to stop the car and just have accessories mode running so you can listen to the sound system, conduct a phone call, whatever. If Start-Stop cars even have an accessories mode they often do silly things turn it off after five minutes. Or you can't put the windows up or down unless the engine is running.
Usually if you press the on off button while not depressing the brake pedal it will go into accessory mode.
Thanks, @@AndrewWorkshop, I know how to get to accessories mode. My point is that it used to be a very simple and useful feature that is now hobbled and artificially limited for no good reasons.
In addition to the artificial time limits some vehicles prevent you going straight to accessories mode from running state: you have to fully stop a vehicle before pressing Start again without the brake pedal to get to accessories mode.
it's OK. your tangents are amusing & informative 😅
I’m right behind you in the T-shirt count. My bestie has offered to make me a T-shirt quilt.
Oh! Cool!
You can get bed sheets made with T-shirt material.
People dying because they left their Prius running is an urban legend. Beyond everything else, modern engines run so clean that there's not enough CO (not CO2, come on Adam) to kill you, even in an enclosed garage. Nor do they depress O2 levels sufficiently either.
for the apron I'd try to match the brown of the leather not the material itself
Ranger rolling clothes is great to save space.
Love to see the t-shirt hacks.
I have a question:
Why didn't you make a key mechanism for the vault? Or, are you planning to make one?
I've heard the rolling tshirt hack forever but does it actually safe any space? If anything you're running the risk of inefficiently rolling it and introducing more volume in the gaps.
A folded tshirt is maximally space efficient right? Zero gaps? Maybe it just reduces wrinkles...
It doesn't save much if any space, but it does reduce wrinkles. Plus it makes the suitcase/bag easier to dig through for a specific item without *adding* wrinkles or needing to re-fold anything.
I don't know whether it's just my computer screen, but to me that apron canvas looks like a dark "raw umber" sort of color? Like a very cool-toned brown.
I used to fly A LOT and I can agree with the soft suitcase. I hated having to gate check my bag (I've had baggage handlers steal from my gate checked bag). So I got a 2nd suitcase that fits in EVERY overhead bin. I often had to sneak it by the bag n*zi flight attendant, but when ever they'd confront me that it didn't fit I'd shove it into the over head with the comment "It fits!" You can't do that with hard suitcases!
The last dozen flights I've gotten on, they were gate checking halfway through the flight and by the time I boarded near the end the rear third of the plane was still half open. I don't know if it's just the flight attendants not communicating and just defaulting to gate checking or what, but it's kind of annoying.
@@chrisdonnell7200 Sometimes I think they do that to "encourage" people to upgrade their tickets to an earlier boarding order on their next flight.
I think a rust color would look great on that apron.
My best hacks: 1. use a folder for piles of paper to store ironed shirts. 2. Bring extra underwear in your carry on 3. Be nice to the staff at the airport, especially when everything goes wrong. It’s not their fault.
Indeed not only are they near impossible to destroy but I even found out that even the tiny ariport that did damage mine had a contract with Rimowa and instantly shipped a replacement and on-site in Cologne they would have repaired it for free while giving me the remote for the TV, a coffee machine and a comfortable sofa to wait.
I really love my Briggs & Riley luggage, but they are insanely expensive
Also Clear and TSA Pre✅ are absolutely the best credit card perk I’ve ever received
7:20 "ranger green" would match pretty closely imo
But circles are an imperfect packing method! Clearly we all need to roll shirts into hexagons.
As an autistic person I require to see the system Adam has in place for tshirts. I'm super interested
Keep a couple Powerbars in your bag. Great for when you get stuck, delayed, or arrive when room service is closed. And a club sandwich is my go to hotel food, but beware in the UK - some places put egg salad on it.
I like that Adam mentioned the importance of interfaces being simple and for the designers to no forget their utility. It feels like an increasingly common thing these days with the rise of AI implementation in devices. Those technological failures to function properly and as requested while operating a mass of material, surely gets people killed, as silly as that sounds.
Top tip travel hack…fly business or first class 😏💥👍🏼👍🏼
Lack of an "off" button
would press MY "off" button.
Yeah, one can spend up to 10 grand for a single Rimowa luggage, average maybe 2 grand. Or buy some vintage Samsonite for like 50 bucks. I'm still using my grandparent's Samsonite from 1969 (I'm 60). Indestructible, they even have wheels.
A Rimowa suitcase is expensive but it's nowhere near that expensive. The polycarbonate carry-on is around 670 eur or 700 USD. The aluminum version being around 1000 USD.
@@mlykke I just scanned their website quickly and estimated two grand averaged out. I'm sure some are cheaper, there are many over $2,000. Maybe $1000-$2000 average is closer.
@@Drew_Snydermann The two typical Rimowa suitcases for cabin bags is either to Classic alu which is 1400-1500 USD and the poly which is 850-900 USD. Thats from the Rimowa website, but in reality you don't buy them direct from them so prices will be lower. The large checkin cases are 1150-1800. So overall a fair bit cheaper than your 2K average or your 10K claim, which was my point. They are expensive, but not that expensive. Just because they make some custom/limited models which are super expensive, doesn't mean the rest is crazy.
@@mlykke Even $500 for a suitcase is crazy to me. $500++ so the airlines can beat the hell out of it for you? Been using the $50 Samsonite since 1969 and still going strong. Rich people . . . .
@@Drew_Snydermann First of all a Samsonite suitcase costs quite a bit more than 50 USD today. Second, old suitcases are usually quite heavy and with airlines lowering the weight limits, especially for carry-on that requires lighter suitcases.
I'm not saying you should buy a Rimowa, but 500 USD in 2024 isn't really that much. It's just a matter what you prioritize.
You don't need as much clothes as you think you need. Plus you're probably buying merch anyway 😂
A great air travel hack I use is carrying a usb c 10 in 1 explorer edition dockcase hub along with using an S23 Ultra as my main everyday phone.
When i go to hotels i can just take an hdmi cable from the back of the tv, or bring my own, plug it into the hub and plug that into my phone.
Instantly turns it into a laptop using samsung Dex meaning i have just unlocked all my streaming sites and games available on my phone.
If you want extra usability a thin bluetooth keyboard, mouse and a small controller like the switch joycons (they work with android) means you can have a home theatre experience in any hotel
we ❤ t-shirts 👕
Looking at all the links posted in the description I realize I apparently don’t make enough money 😂
Do you do the US Marine roll or just your own version of a roll?
2:27 earthquake?
I used the rolling trick on my first flight ever
I sewed my badges to my apron.
I have a similar annoyance with my AirPods. Whenever I take them out and am just on my phone, even if it’s an hour or so later and the case is in another room my phone and the case will link up. It’s small, but just annoying in general
That issue with the AirPods, I don’t HAVE them, but I get it.
