I got a similar pelican case, plucked the foam out, fitted my camera but i feel like the foam is going to come apart easy, i want a snug fit so every time i pull the cam out it pulls the foam with it, should i spray the foam with Plasti Dip so the pieces stay together and don't come apart, also what type of glue would you recommend to keep the foam in the case?
I bought the same model number Pelican case (1520) for my most prized pocket knives and your tips on how to set up the foam were very helpful. Much appreciated. Happy Memorial Day. Thanks!
I made something similar to this out of some old hilti/bosch drill cases that my former employer gave to me. I used a 3/8" insulating foam board to line them with and cut the shapes out of that. Then put a spandex material over that for some extra padding and to make it look tidier. Turned out pretty decent and I put a glass in one and dropped the case onto concrete and it was fine so I know they work as intended. I think I might buy one one of these though...I would have used that style of foam if I knew where to get it at the time!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I just got my first case by Nanuk, similar to a Pelican, but I bought the pick n pluck foam that comes with Pelican cases separate after reading some bad comments on Nanuk’s foam. I didn’t even think about cutting the foam squares part way down so as not to use the entire depth. Thanks again!
Great demonstration. I have a rather large collection of small limited addition swiss army knives and want to display them in a pelican case. That pick and pluck foam had me puzzled. I invisioned plucking each little individual square with something like a small pair of tweezers. I like this way much better. Easily explained. Thx
Nice little tutorial! I ordered a Pelican 1500 a few days ago, I am eagerly waiting for the mail man now, should be here anytime soon. I am going to use it for my knife collection... or at lest my current 30ish folders (It likely will be able to hold around 40) and one of my fixed blades that is a bit more delicate (Katesune Nishiki). I just got so tired of spending half an hour getting all of my knives into a backpack in a way they are secure and wont get all scratched up.
Great video, thanks. I just got my first Pelican case for Christmas for my astronomy gear, the tips in here should allow me to set it up perfectly. Thanks again.
Hey Jeff, i am leaving for basic training and AIT in a month,I was wondering what you think the best way to store knives for a long period of time is(6 months possibly longer) Like a pelican case, or in their original boxes, if I should oil them up, or not. This would be a great idea for a video. Thanks brother!
That turned out great! I just bought extra barrels for my Thompson/Center Encore and have been looking for a storage/transportation solution for a takedown rifle that has several barrels. I need to look into these.
You really should. They have every conceivable size of case from memory card size to almost-big-enough-to-fit-a-twelve-year-old-girl size (I made a bet with my kid that she couldn't get all the way into my Pelican 1640, she almost made it.).
wow i just now noticed how many subscribers you have now! iv been subscribed for years and remember when u had 5k subs, never noticed how many people watch u now its crazy
Hey Jeff, been watching your videos for a few years now and i just want to say thanks for all the great content you upload! I originally subscribed for the zippo tips and reviews but even videos that i may not do myself ,eg. Cigar smoking, I find really interesting to watch! Many Thanks.
That looks great.. I wonder if the camera should of gone in the middle so the weight is more centralised and not to one side.. donno.. the whole case seems heavy anyway but I wouldn't know, seems easier to just have the camera in the corner though when positioning everything else.

I'm probably the only medical marijuana patient here, researching Pelican Case's for storing and traveling with expensive, artsy (heady) bongs.. They're great for many uses haha good review
Wouldn't you want all the contents to stickup to an even level to provide an even, thus more secure, fit. It looks as if the rest of you stuff may have room to move, thanks to the crapple pad. It would only be bouncing between 2 pieces of foam, but it should be considered if you're putting in something other than photography gear that may be a container with a PopOff lid possibly containing liquid, such as liquid samples.
Should have gone with the Nanuk cases, since there latch's blow pelicans away!!! Anyhow, nice vid and thanks for sharing! I would also recommend you to take the camera out of its original case, it will fit alot better.
If you feel that the toothpicks are not big enough try using skewers, they work well also if you feel you need a little bigger size to handle. They are a few cent more in price than toothpicks, a couple of dollars. LOL. 🐢👍😃
PRO TIP: Best way to make sure your case doesn't get lost at the airport is to put a gun in there and check it as a firearm. They will make sure you get your case if there is a gun in it.
+John Tran As in knock out of it's case??? HTF would you transport ammo within the US? CAN it be mailed or ordered as a home delivery from online? I've never known any1 to do it, so I'm really wondering now. Saw plenty of hunting shows where some1 would travel to Alaska with their Rifle, but I 1/2 expected them to own a private jet, TBH.

Miguel Mendez I see what u did there
This is a very helpful video. I like how thorough you were in explaining what to do. Thank you for making this video for us.

How’d it go?
Trace with sharpee cut with hotwire foam cutter. Line with plasti dip. Cleaner look
That turned out great! I just bought extra barrels for my Thompson/Center Encore and have been looking for a storage/transportation solution for a takedown rifle that has several barrels. I need to look into these.

TruckerPhilosophy Good news! My oldest is only three and his brother is 6-months :)
Wax Pragmatic Be careful. Those things seal air tight.
+Wax Pragmatic Knowing IS 1/2 the battle. Got any recommendation for a 110lb wife? JK, FFS!
This is awesome. Thank you so much for posting this. I can see how useful this foam can be to customize for any devices.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. I just bought a Pelican 1500 for my folding knives, and this will be a great help in making it work.
what is the model of the cheapo tabletop tripod? Just looking at options for one for my spotting scope. Thx and keep up the great work!
Great use to toothpicks! Good thing I didn’t stop at the first video that stopped a poked finger guesstimate!
You really do have a video on everything. Love the channel man.
Yeah it’s crazy he’s always reviewed random things that I’m buying and I know I can always trust him

thanks, speaking of zippos, new trick video tomorrow!
I look forward to it!

the case itself is pretty heavy cant tell if its filled or not, lol

Have you heard of kaizen foam? I think you might like it better than the grid foam. It gives it a cleaner look.
I know a few people that replaced the foam in their Pelicans with the kaizen foam and they like it a lot better
Toothpicks worked great. Thank you for the tip.
I have an old zippo and I'm fed up of lookinging at it would u like to trade zippo ??
Good tips for setting up your Pelican the right way, the first time!
Great video and excellent tips. Thank you for posting!
I'm probably the only medical marijuana patient here, researching Pelican Case's for storing and traveling with expensive, artsy (heady) bongs.. They're great for many uses haha good review
Marinated Cured thats what i use em for. Rigs and pendys
That camera has a long lens... would it happen to be a nicon p900
hey Jeff just wondering where you got the case and how much was it thanks
They're like 100 bucks and theres a link in the description.
Hey Jeff, can you do a video on your DSLR and camera/video equipment?
Fantastic video - just what I needed!
Hey jeff will you please do a review of the ipad mini? I know you dont know a lot about it and thats the type of review im looking for. Will you?
very informative video. thanks for sharing... after watching your video i will be buying me one of these for my camera setup... thanks again
Good tip with using toothpicks as markers 👍👍
I was thinking of getting one of these for my collectable knives
That's... nice
I use a smaller one of these for a knife case. Also have one for my desert eagle
Really Helpful, I enjoyed your video very much! Now I know what Im doing! Thank You!
How much was the case?

Awesome Video Jeff. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Holy crap is that cool. Have you done a review on the watch with the lighter built in, sorry im new to your channel
He has, if you look back in his uploads it shouldn't be too far back
Your words have peaked TF outta my interest. TY.
what's your shooting setup?
Excellent explanation! Thank you
Can't wait for the review! Awesome video!
can it fit a 15.6 inch laptop ?
Should have gone with the Nanuk cases, since there latch's blow pelicans away!!! Anyhow, nice vid and thanks for sharing! I would also recommend you to take the camera out of its original case, it will fit alot better.
Lmfaooo
Great Tips Buddy!
toothpicks are genius. Never thought of that
what case is that one?
If you feel that the toothpicks are not big enough try using skewers, they work well also if you feel you need a little bigger size to handle. They are a few cent more in price than toothpicks, a couple of dollars. LOL. 🐢👍😃
Used this for traveling with glass for a while
great tutorial
Really cool but if I was you I'd have put the money towards some good winter tires ;)
great detail and good info - thanks for sharing
Pelican cases are the best. I don't bother with any other hard cases for my guns, knives and electronics.
pelican cases are awesome, but pick n pluck foam looks soooooo shitty for guns, looks pretty good for cameras and electronics tho
Very helpful. Thank you!
That is what happens to us EDC guys. We put knifes and flashlights everywhere. :P
To outline an item before plucking out the foam cubes, I use toothpicks. Very accurate, makes for a nice snug fit.
PRO TIP: Best way to make sure your case doesn't get lost at the airport is to put a gun in there and check it as a firearm. They will make sure you get your case if there is a gun in it.
Still not 100% though, I've picked my firearm up from the conveyor belt after landing and I did check it as a firearm. Probably a fluke.

Hate Pelican cases just because the foam can't be plucked easily in layers. I always go with SKB cases now because of it.
It says to use toothpick in the instructions
Nice case, great tips.
nice spyderco knife sir
Actually Pelican recommends the toothpicks.
Why dont you remove the case of the camera first.
thank you 4 the great video
Now give it 3 coats of plasti dip it will then last forever and the foam won't rip
Clutch video !
I bought a pelican case for my bong, so safe to transport now; unfortunately i look like a shooter.
Funny...we have stoners looking like shooters, and shooters looking like musicians and tennis players. Nothing is as it seems!
You should get another case just for knives, and just fill it completely with knives :D
Or get another knife case
thanks!
thank great review
Nice. Hi Gus
Well...the toothpaste didn't prevent cavities in this case...
Sorry, I had to.
Genius!!
i should buy a pelican case for my knife collection
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's such a nice, neat, and safe way to store them. Think I'm going to buy a pelican 1300.
I use mine for knives
sweet
