Pro tip, bring a backpack and have a rain jacket with zip pockets (or a large game pocket). You can stuff the rain jacket and they can’t call you out on a ‘worn item,’ even if you strap it to the outside of your carry on. Helps with overweight luggage too, just put the heavy stuff in the pockets of the jacket
@@People_R_Foolish I’ve been on hundreds of flights and my rain jacket has never failed me. You’re probably some salty ticket counter employee that hates the general public
@@People_R_Foolish tYou can’t tell what’s in jacket pockets, it is less noticeable than a large purse. I hope you’re not rolling in a Boeing, those pilots seem to suck butt lately
This is my EDC keychain. I usually remember to leave it out of my bag, because TSA WILL look at it. Never had a problem. I've used it for all kinds of stuff; from opening boxes to repairing a hotel towel rack.
I try to make EVERYTHING an adventure. It doesn't matter if I'm going to the grocery store, or traveling by plane, train, bus, ferry, or Lyft. So, I leave my "This is a pain in the ass attitude" at home. When everyone else is bitching, moaning, and complaining about going through security, having to wait for their coffee, or I'm behind someone scratching lottery tickets at the gas station, I can practice some patience, look around, smile, say a kind word to someone, etc. It just makes everything I do a lot easier. All the best to you...Mark
_"A lot of people were making fun of me for carrying business cards"_ - You did get the last laugh. Also, you helped encourage folks like myself to try to make it in the RUclips realm. Something recently that really pushed me into giving it a solid go was hearing someone say *"Don't be afraid to be seen trying."* Often times the only thing different between you and someone living your dream is that they took the steps and were not afraid to be seen trying. 🤘🤘
Good timing on your video! We flew to Newark today headed to Emmaus. Ordered my orange Alpaka pack this morning! Love the idea of stowing my backpack under the seat in front and having all I need for the flight in a compact bag!
I appreciate the level of detail and that you highlight upside and downside of products vs just saying everything is amazing. Especially like the palms out to camera for up close on smaller products; super helpful as many store site pictures aren't zoom friendly.
Hey Talon I met you outside the airport while waiting for an Uber. Crazy to meet you in person and keep up the great work! Got lots of friends and family to check out your vids just from me being able to meet you. Once again keep up the great work and be safe on all your travels.
Hey Christian, thanks for saying hi! Sorry I was in a rush but I hope you enjoyed your time in Colorado. Thanks for spreading the word and watching the videos 🤘🏼
So I have a have on my person a leatherman ps style, a geek key multi tool, a stream light micro stream, a Vicks vapor inhaler, ballpoint pen g5, my phone, Raycon earbuds, small bic lighter, and in my bag a gerber boxcutter minus the blade, with a pressurecult Nomad minus the blade.
I want to get onboard with the EDC sling bag but I am having a hard time actually committing to the idea lol. I bought a small pack to hold my daily essentials as well as a back up phone charger and my backup g43X. I carried it a couple of times and now it sits in the closet. I love the idea of it but have a hard time getting over the man purse thoughts lol.
Ha ha. I'm exactly the same dude. I bought one a few years ago on holiday (the most manly one I could find) and used it most days. They're definitely very very handy and convenient and makes life so much easier walking round on holiday, but yeah ..... there's always that stigma. Not sure I could ever use one in daily life.
@@cryptotrader2779 When I have the balls to carry it....I LOVE it. Makes EDC so much easier. Not carrying spare mags IWB on my hip and not having a big iphone in my pocket. Makes getting in and out of the car so much easier. But like you said, there is that stigma and I have a hard time getting past it.
Been using alpaca gear for a couple of years now. Couple of sling bags, small and large keychain, wallet phone holder, AirPods holder. Alpaca is an amazing brand.
I understand you can carry on tools smaller than 7 inches. I added a small pair of pliers to my air travel pack. I bought just a cheap pair from Harbor Freight, just in case a TSA agent decides they want to keep them. Might be a great addition to that pack. Maybe also a small amount of first aid gear. Just a thought.
Bought this same bag in the black color way a few weeks back. Said I was only going to use it for Disney trips and the occasional traveling. All of a sudden I’m using it every day. Super handy and comfortable. People are going to hate on it. But, once you get past the purse jokes, this bag is great!
I travel with tools, so I have to check a bag. On the plane I carry a small pack similar to yours with what I need during the flight. Wired noise cancelling earbuds (the batteries last for a year or more), reading glasses, lens wipes, Powerbank and a multi headed charging cable for Iphone, Android and Micro USB devices. And a snack because I'm tired of pretzels and Biscoff. I hang it from the seatback in front of me with a Heroclip for convenience. Also my 9" tablet loaded with stuff to watch. My backpack goes in the overhead and that carries my laptop, camera gear (a mirrorless micro 4/3 travels well), and travel CPAP. Sometimes I will risk putting the CPAP in checked luggage (padded well and in the middle of the bag) so I have room to bring my compact drone. That depends on where I am going.
I pretty much always try to check 1 bag. I'm usually managing kids, so the less stuff I have to carry on my person the better, also, I like to take my ccw with me. I do carry on a small bag with essentials for the flight.
Great video!!! If I don't check a bag, then I ship whatever I want to have with me to the address I am staying or I keep a small safe and a bag with clothes, hygiene items, medications, a small emergency kit, an empty sling bag, and whatever else I want/need to have there (I do that at my parents house since I fly there fairly often). That leaves my small backpack and my fanny pack on me. I don't really care about what others think of my set up, because I do what works for me.
I really like this bag. Also used it on my recent trip. The front pocket is hard to fit a phone into, but I started putting a hank in there. Doesn't take up much space and has microfiber to clean screens, glasses etc.
Some 25+ years ago, I went through TSA with a Spyderco ladybug. Not only did the agent not know that it was a legal size (now banned), but they didn't know how to close a lock back blade. All pokies have to be in a checked bag now.
Love that youre flying into Philly! Go Birds! I was supposed to be flying out of MIA today heading to Nor Cal, but i missed my flight and got bumped to tomoorw. Going up for a long weekend and doing some hiking. This video popped up as soon as I walked in the door getting back from the airport. Gonna have to reorganize my sling bag edc after watching this lol. Keeo up the good work!!
I'm wanting to get an airport EDC set up for my trip across country next year. What gear do you recommend? I will be traveling President's Day weekend.
I carry a CRKT Williams Tactical Pen. I have flown domestic and international. That way I have some form of a weapon while traveling. I also travel with the Tomtoc Compact EDC Sling Bag, 4.5L. Cheap and the black interior sucks but it works. Large enough to hold essentials but small enough so I don't overpack.
I have all types of bags. Sling bag, chest rig/bag, flatpack, flatpck chest rig combo, phone & wallet holster (shoutout LD West). And I'm proud of it 😆.
I also have business cards with my personal info. Really handy when checking into a hotel and they want all your info. Also makes exchanging info with others super easy. And they are not very expensive either....
I actually have found the Leatherman Tread (multi tool bracelet thing) useful when stuck with air travel. Never enough options when it comes to being TSA "compliant". 🙄
I get you because I am also deep in the Apple ecosystem, but I realized that some Beats headphones are also in the Apple ecosystem and have the H1 chip In them, so they have pinpoint "Find My" and quick connect and all that.
I just returned from a trip to my favorite idyllic Thai beach on Koh Phangan. Transiting Seattle, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, the best item I had in my (15 pound max) bag was the Lion Energy Trek. That thing kept my devices topped off wherever I was. And I never had any problems by airlines with carrying it onboard. I keep my carryon to the minimum and never check anything, so my needs are bare bone without frills. And always the contents are inserted and packed in waterproof clear food storage bags. My decade old Eagle Creek rectangular duffel style bag has never had a zipper fail in the many times I’ve overstuffed it. With air whistling out on the sides as it slides perfectly into the personal sized boarding counter’s test box, I’ve never shed a tear for being sent to the Airline’s penalty counter to immediately pay their $100 fee for oversized carryon, where size matters. Nor are there ever ‘I’ve been pickpocketed’ tears because my documents, cash, and credit cards are discreetly carried in a cross chest sling bag that stays pancake flat. Decades of shoestring international travel have paired down what is needed from what is ‘I might like having that’. Fair Winds.
I am located in NYC area and have travelef Europe several times and southern destinations. So, my question is what airlines have you flown that actually checks the size and weight of carry on and personal bags? I travel with carry on and personal bag only and cheapest seat but often upgraded due to card membership
@@richarddow69 - these days, expect them all to check weight AND size, because it has become a very lucrative income stream to charge and receive payments at the gate or you don’t board.
@@justsmy5677 - There is a multitude to choose from on Amazon, but I like the VADOO Sling Bag - Anti-theft Crossbody Shoulder Bag (9.1”x8.3”x6.7” grey model). Size was right for my needs.
Some people are just better at it than others, I have sunglasses that i’ve owned for over 25 years, my girlfriend cant seem to keep a pair longer than a year. I get the expensive ones, she’s only allowed drug store sunglasses.
On the flight, I carry an Olight Baton 3, and a Bic lighter with gorilla tape wrapped around it. I do have to check a bag, so edc multi tool and pocket knife go in that bag. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸
Did TSA say anything about the flashlight? Thinking of picking this up for an upcoming international trip that I will be going on. Heard rumblings that some TSA agents like to take 'tactical' looking flashlights away. I would hate to lose such a nice expensive flashlight. Thanks!
Last time I flew I had to check a bag so my carry on was light. Had my Vertx Transit with my iPad pro, Olight Warrior Mini 2, pen/pad, keys, wallet, water bottle, and some other basics. Not TSA related but I went through a Sherriff's office checkpoint to renew my CCW and they wouldn't let me bring in my Trayvax Talon. Dude just looked at it for a minute before I said I'd just bring it back to my car.
One of the golden rules when traveling especially internationally and especially where bag snatching and pick pocketing is coming, is to be subtle.. orange is subtle. Having a massive fanny pack is not subtle. For example in Barcelona, these kid gangs surround you and just grab your stuff and run. Best to have pouches that are not visible.
What's wrong with phanny packs? Any kind of pouch or small bag is practical for travel or EDC... my EDC bag is the 5.11 Rush MOAB 10. I have a powerbank and a usb fan, which has saved me so many times when I've had to stand in line, and it's hot and stuffy. I also have a Sea to Summut seat cushion, they're waterproof and they deflate to the size of a piece of cardboard. My grandma visited us for christmas, and every restaurant we went to had old wooden chairs, I literally saved her ass!
Wallet Ninja is TSA friendly for a get by pocket tool. I always need something to help me open plastic packaging. I just make the card tool obvious to the TSA & let them know that if they need to take it they can. No argument.
Moo! I did all the CAD work and programming on their tradeshow booth. What an absolutely terrible booth. 😂 What's also crazy is that we were in the Montrose area at the same time. Small world.
I carry a Lululemon black camo sling bag and I love it, esp if you need medications or eye drops because I had lasik eye surgery.. for those dudes that say its a purse are just not secure in their own masculinity 🙄
Absolutely love Alpaka! I have 14" tech brief in Multicam and my wife has a black 16". I also have the OD green utility pouch that I use as a sling but I really have been thinking of ordering that same orange one you have. Alpaka stuff is great and recommend them to everyone.
Hey Talon are there any sling bags you would recommend from Alpaka that I could use to conceal carry my Glock 43x? Im not always able to carry appendix so ive been looking into getting a sling bag to throw my 43x in while im out and about.
I like your idea of a small edc pack for travel to keep pockets clear. I think I would want to go a little larger, maybe something like the Vertx chest/fanny pack they sell, but since I haven't actually had one in hand I wonder if it would then be too large.
The vertx socp is a good size imo it will fit way more then this but also not big enough to look bulky even stuffed. It was ment to be a Fanny pack but I wear it around the shoulder to me it’s too bulky to be worn on the waste but if on the chest or back it’s not even noticeable
The alpaka mini bravo is a good mid sized pack also. I've had one for a few months now and it's plenty big for my edc stuff and even my firearm if need be

Leatherman Style PS mini multitool. TSA approved/no knife. Its traveled the world (Europe/Asia/cntr America)
This is my EDC keychain. I usually remember to leave it out of my bag, because TSA WILL look at it. Never had a problem.
I've used it for all kinds of stuff; from opening boxes to repairing a hotel towel rack.
Wallet is mission critical. I would not carry that in a separate bag. Pockets for the win.
I try to make EVERYTHING an adventure. It doesn't matter if I'm going to the grocery store, or traveling by plane, train, bus, ferry, or Lyft.
So, I leave my "This is a pain in the ass attitude" at home.

Yup it can go vertical or horizontal molle webbing is what I noticed. My bag has horizontal webbing

if you bought the right jacket(s) with good storage options, then you could probably get away without unnecessary packs/backpacks/purses etc.

Absolutely love Alpaka! I have 14" tech brief in Multicam and my wife has a black 16". I also have the OD green utility pouch that I use as a sling but I really have been thinking of ordering that same orange one you have. Alpaka stuff is great and recommend them to everyone.
I use the 16 tech brief for work, Just got the vertical sling for EDC/light carry around town, just a bit more capacity and fits item like iPad mini 6
Hey Talon are there any sling bags you would recommend from Alpaka that I could use to conceal carry my Glock 43x? Im not always able to carry appendix so ive been looking into getting a sling bag to throw my 43x in while im out and about.
Check out my video on the vertx socp sling
Love your videos Talon! By Chance will there be a comparison from vertx vs. Alpaka as far as a non tactical off body carry video?!
What size are your gauges 1:58
Could throw a small portable charger in that cellphone pocket since your phones typically in your pocket like myself
I like your idea of a small edc pack for travel to keep pockets clear. I think I would want to go a little larger, maybe something like the Vertx chest/fanny pack they sell, but since I haven't actually had one in hand I wonder if it would then be too large.
The vertx socp is a good size imo it will fit way more then this but also not big enough to look bulky even stuffed. It was ment to be a Fanny pack but I wear it around the shoulder to me it’s too bulky to be worn on the waste but if on the chest or back it’s not even noticeable
The alpaka mini bravo is a good mid sized pack also. I've had one for a few months now and it's plenty big for my edc stuff and even my firearm if need be
