I wouldnt recommend that kind of knife and watch carrier if you fly. Being in the military these days you travel by air a lot. On two separate occasions I had knives taken out of the interior pocket of my checked bag, I know other service members that have experienced the same. I eventually stopped taking expensive knives on trips and the ones I did take I packed in my boots with socks and underwear to keep them from falling out.
That's a good point. I wouldn't check that in a bag. If I fly, I basically just bring a knife I wouldn't care about losing or no knife at all, and just rely on the TPT Slide. But I'd still bring watches.
I carry plastic outlet inserts to help with loose outlets while traveling or in coffee shops. I also have the Anker plug/PowerBank combo that is quite heavy as well and the outlet inserts are great for that as well. Great vid as always!
I flew to Japan for 3 weeks with a carry-on and a 20 L backpack. My wife and daughter also rocked a similar setup. We did check one of the bags, so I did get to bring a knife(I think it has to be under 6cm for Japan). You pack a ton of stuff, which is cool if you are going by car, but way too much if you are traversing airports and connecting trains all over the place. I also am a duffel bag man, but when I saw how people use rolling carry-on luggage as part of their day to day routine the first time i visited Japan about 17 years ago, I have to say I was converted. Now whenever I am getting on an airplane I don't even consider my duffle, unless its packed in my luggage for overflow. Thanks for the videos!
GaN stands for Gallium Nitride. basically its a transistor technology that is capable of having more power going through it than your normal silicon transistor in most power conditioners. the takeaway is as you described - charges faster.
that really is a gorgeous duffle but WOW.. $160 for a water bottle.. its what I expect when I watch your channel.. I got a like new duffle with all its tags at a thrift store for $4, it doesnt have a boot pocket or leather straps but it did what a duffle does. The same goes for the stainless steel qt bottle I got at the same place for $1.. definitely different worlds... I do like that collectors binder a lot
I recommend getting a Killswitch case from Dbrand for your Steam Deck. Cuts down on the bulkiness compared to the official carrying case from Valve. You can throw it in your backpack and not worry about damage
I almost always keep a spare set of clothes and toiletries in my back pack, especially if I check a bag. Nothing worse than your bag getting lost enroute, and your stuck without clean clothes for a day or more. I also always use a trash bag as my laundry bag when traveling. Definitely not as durable as a dedicated dry bag, or as leak proof, but definitely gets the job done.
Interesting video, as always. Regarding your search for your next Dopp Kit, I've been carrying Colonel Littleton's GP-1 Bag Dopp Kit for the past decade or so. It is made of heavy canvas and heavy leather strapping ad (so far) it shows no discernable wear and tear from some pretty hard use. Good luck in your hunt!
Hey, Taylor, I know I'm a little late on this video I just got back from deployment that being said if you are still looking for a dopp kit, I highly recommend you look into Gravel. Their Explorer MAX served me very well over 2 different 8 month+ deployments aboard An aircraft Carrier. I don't understand a little on the price of your side, but there was and they have 4 different sizes to choose from.
I received an LL Bean waxed canvas hanging toiletry bag for Christmas and it’s amazing. It’s a great material and you can hang it wherever you are so it’s leaves more open space on the counter which can be pretty limited in hotels. Also it has quite a few pockets which is great however it is a little bigger than most people might want
Baboon to the moon does a really great waterproof Dopp kit for a great price, they’re always doing sales on the colorways that don’t sell so I’ve ended up with extras to organize all the cords and gear in my backpack
My DOPP kit lives in a 1.5 litre wide mouth water bottle if anything leaks it’s doesn’t get on clothes or other items it’s also handy to have a spare bottle for other people if they need it. The other thing I always have is a cheap rubber door wedge for keeping doors open when transferring stuff from the car or keeping the door closed in hotels that seem unsafe while I sleep
I love chicago combs. 13 seems like a lot for a comb but they're well worth the price, plus it's not like most people are just destroying combs left and right. Everything is really smooth and well rounded. Normal cheap dollar store type combs are just like pressed plastic and so they'll often have sharp ridges that snag or bite hair etc... they just suck. The #6 is a good general comb, the #8 is godly if you have a thicker beard. They just glide through hair.
I travel everywhere with at least one knife and my camera. I always have essentials like wallet, a pen, and watch but I consider those pretty much standard without question. I do enjoy my weekender bag from Bespoke post monthly subscription
Taylor, I have watched a ton of your videos and I love your content. I just have one thing that puzzles me to no end. Why is there never any kind of gun (EDC,truck gun etc) in any of your videos? I am curious as heck.
I have to say I was disappointed when you pulled out the steam deck. I figured for sure you would have a leather skin wrap on it. Seems like a must for you I think dbrand makes it.
Awesome video ... I have a Filson duffle that is equally overbuilt ... I also have a Saddleback Leather EDC Satchel which I take on my trips ... Aside from a water bottle I always pack my crushable stetson hat 🤠
Not bad. I prefer the Nutsac Duffel. Still waxed canvas, doesn't look as chaotic, just missing that boot space but $299. They have a good Dopp kit as well. I use Matador's dry bag and their 30l duffel. They shrink down very small. The new Vertx Gamut is 25l and the Ready Pack went down to 20l. That knife storage is ridiculously priced but it is nice. Even though it's just a button closure.
I just got my hands on the Weekender Dopp Kit by Bespoke post in my box last month so I'll be giving it a shot on an upcoming trip. Its pretty straight forward and in theory, I am hoping it will help me pair down my dopp kit contents to just what I really need to use.
Travel out here to Texas N.B. and i will get you into high quality cigars sorry to tell you that stuff you and your buddy have been smoking are a step or two above crap so let me know Cuban's and high end Arturo's
Im a long time user of Black Hole duffels from Patagonia. From deployments to surf trips to family vacations they are rugged, waterproof & have held up well. The most glaring thing missing is a separate wet/boot pocket! Such a simple element that makes a huge difference! Great lookin bag, congrats on the collab!!
Maxpedition makes and interesting kit. As for me I found a one compartment Cordura dopp. I just pitch everything in that. When I need something. I just rot through that thing like a hog hunting truffles. Oh, I know it's in there, and when I find it............

GaN is gallium nitride. It's an alternate material to silicon that's able to achieve the same amount of power delivery in a smaller package.

The thoughtful details that went into the Journeyman Duffel is something we can really get behind!

Peak Design was my top choice for a dopp.

GORUCK has a few DOPP kits. The company also has a lifetime warranty on its gear.

Hey Taylor, i heard that the gravel dopp Kit is a very good toilet tree bag. you should try it out.
Check out the Gravel Explorer toiletry bag. I used the slim version when I backpacked hostels in SE Asia and it held up well

GaN is Gallium Nitride, powering the next gen of electronic power sources.
I've had a few GaN chargers and never knew what it meant. Thanks lol
That stuff is going to cause a whole lot of problems for us with China.
@@toma1460 Yes, China has now added restrictions to the export of these.
@@udayshome1793 you are correct and not just to the USA but to European countries as well. They have I believe 90% of the world's supply maybe more.
The best dopp kit I've found is the North Face Canister
I travel out of the country and always have to pack my edc in my checked luggage. Other countries can be difficult at times.
The dopp kit that I prefer is Peak Design Wash Pouch. The way is folds open is very accessible, yet compact.
I travel everywhere with at least one knife and my camera. I always have essentials like wallet, a pen, and watch but I consider those pretty much standard without question. I do enjoy my weekender bag from Bespoke post monthly subscription
Bradley Mountain makes a cool Dopp kit
Great list of items! Thanks for sharing man.

HanksBelts has a great dop kit!
Cheers for the updates.
NutSac makes a pretty nice dopp kit.
Peak design
Dopp kit from dollar shave club is fantastic. Simple but useful and it’s cheap! They’re razors suck but the kit is awesome.
Would love to go to Blade show. Just wish it wasnt in Atlanta.
I have to say I was disappointed when you pulled out the steam deck. I figured for sure you would have a leather skin wrap on it. Seems like a must for you I think dbrand makes it.
Lbt dopp kit man. Check one out. Best I've ever used. Just enough organization inside.
They sell Filson rugged twill travel kit dirt cheap at sierra right now. Quality x Price = Unbeatable
Gravel Explorer PLUS Hanging Waterproof Travel Toiletry Bag
PNW Bushcraft makes a great option! Also, the tool roll from Hill People Gear is great for organizing
Take a look at A.G.Russell he’s has a few in both leather & canvas 🤙🏼😎
Boundary supply co dop kit is fire
I use an Aer Travel Kit 2 for dopp
Flowfold is a Maine company that makes bags n such out of recycled sailcloth. I use their coin pouch as my wallet. Great stuff.
Awesome video ... I have a Filson duffle that is equally overbuilt ... I also have a Saddleback Leather EDC Satchel which I take on my trips ... Aside from a water bottle I always pack my crushable stetson hat 🤠
I never buy just 1 new bag for travel, I always buy 2, 1 for me and 1 for my wife! So far I’ve never had to return the 2nd one.
Love any products not made in china or other sweat shop countries so hard to find.
Recently got a topo designs dopp kit!! the leather one, I've been quite enjoying it!
Where can I obtain the small cheap rectangular light that you showed on your short recently?
The Peak Design wash pouch or small wash pouch are great dopp kits.
Can you use a light when you film from the top?
Kinda wild to got to be a $2000+ set up

I can't travel without something fidgety. My go to is a simple copper coin that I buy off eBay for a few bucks.
do you think if the bag does well you will drop another round
a camera whether its a my dslr or even just a gopro
Does it fit a 16” MacBook Pro?
I use a Herschel supply co. dopp kit and it's really nice. I love all their bags.
I’ve been eyeing the step 22 tortoise toiletry bag. But they look sold out but not sure if it’s discounted or not.
Would you consider a 10 EDC Items for a first time dad? I’ve got my first baby coming in September!
Dopp kit and other carry bags: RED OXX
Go ruck gr2 field pocket for dopp kit
TIL I learned the term "DOPP kit". Must be an American thing I guess.
@bestdamnedc I really like the Nomatic toiletry bag 2.0 give it a look/try.
Not sure if it’s too large for what you have in mind, but the step 22 tortoise or hedgehog toiletry bag seems cool.
I literally showed one in the video …

I love to see your videos but why everything It’s so expensive😢
this product couldnt be found !!! thats what is says whenyou click on your link !!!
GaN stande for gallium nitride.
16:57 carry a pigtail power cord for the power block 😉
I hate those things
@@BestDamnEDC well, that’s, that.
$475 for a duffle bag? Y'all are out of your mind.
Insane bag but the price 😢
Actually a pretty good price compared to red oxx bags
NoVaRedacted bro never heard of oxx bags but it's also a good price compared to Louis Vuitton 🤯😂😂
@@DingoOG railroaders use red oxx boats like it’s a right of passage. 😂 I have one.
This video needed a whole bunch of B roll of you actually using the gear
You look so sad in the thumbnail pic. Like someone just ran over your puppy
Not really mpressed
Hehe balls
"Dop kit" must be a yankeeism, because I have no fucking clue rusty he's describing.

DOPP Kit suggestion .. Military Combat Lifesaver Bag.. Ive had one since my military day .. love it
Can you link one similar to yours? I found one for $20 and one for over $200...

The best dopp kit I own came from etsy. High quality, full leather, and great price. Any of the crafters from ukraine,tel Aviv, Istanbul, etc
Dopp kit by NutSac
Love NutSac. Didn't even know they had one. Thanks for the suggestion!
$500 for a bag? Way too much….rich people only….lol
Great stuff. I need to have my kindle Paperwhite wherever I go and especially travel.
TOPO designs in Denver. They make my go to dopp and my backpack. Very good stuff.
"GaN" = Gallium Nitride which is a type of semiconductor material.
Like the OR 40L but canvas and without the backpack straps?
How heavy is it.
GaN (Gallium Nitride) basically just a robust semiconductor
#1 thing to take when traveling especially with family is a concealable firearm if traveling by vehicle a long gun is also coming with.
My in laws got me a Hershel Dopp when my wife and I were dating 10 years ago. It’s with me every time I leave town and has held up amazingly.
small additions from my travels
Headlamp w redlight
Umbrella for rain and sun
Travel blanket bc its also a pillow
I wonder if they would only take part of kidney as payment
My favorite Dopp kit is from Burton, theres is super super good full of pockets
You said you moved away from the pangolin tool roll. What are you using instead?
I use the iPad Pro quite a bit when I travel as well. What apps do you use to edit ?
Heads up..Audio sounds muffled lately.
I’m a big fan of the Gravel toiletry bags.
