Thank you so much for this honest review!

I backpack, and I camp, and like you, I try to take minimal clothing with me, but I use a different procedure. I always try to wash my clothes at the end of the day and use a sink if one is available, and use the soap and I also squeeze. When done, I put all the wet clothing into a cheap nylon stuff sack and pull the draw string tight, if I'm in the mood I might do a bit more bit squeezing. If I feel my clothing is properly 'dirty,' I sometimes lay the nylon bag on my Tyvek ground sheet and then tread-it with bare feet, like treading grapes. I'll then hang the bag on a tree, or fence and leave it overnight to stew! In the morning, I swish all the 'dirty' water'/dampness out, (it only takes few minutes) and will then secure the clothing to the back of my rucksack, using a simple 12" plastic grip, a bit like a large comb that I affix some items too, its secures on the back of my rucksack and I then hike. I secure the larger items, e.g. a shirt, or a pair of trousers with elasticated shock cord on the top of my rucksack and If the weather is fine, my clothes tend to be dry by the evening.

Can you use that laundry soap with Merino Wool Clothes?

Audio sounds like you're really far from the mic

I have owned Tilley hats for over 40 years, great hat, but they are still hot to wear even with ventilation. And not waterproof. You need to,spay a waterproof coating. I find when travelling you really stick out like a tourist. I found a lighter waterproof hat that folds to travel well. Some of their travel clothes are great. Cheers Vancouver Island.

Friend, constructive criticism here, invest in a decent mic. 🙂 I had to turn my volume to 11 and you're still a little muffled.

Nice job! I have the same bag that I use for my daily commute, but now I'm inspired to try it on a trip. I do take minor issue with your statement that the bottle pocket is "way too small to be useful." You may just need to find the right bottle! It perfectly fits my 750ml stainless bottle. Mine's not insulated, but its diameter is 73mm/2.9" if that helps. I also attached a couple of expandable MOLLE straps, which are useful for securing something bulky and/or wet like a blanket or towel.

I’ve also taken a black sharpie to the lettering/logos.

These bags are so unknown! I found them and bought the entire family (fanny, 8L, 20L, 30L).

I’ve Started to carry the leaves in its own ziplock style (pill bags) to ensure their dryness.

You could stop at a car wash, wash clothes and take a shower if it's warm.

Nice explanation Zack. I usually apply a taut-line hitch on either one or both ends of the rope. This type of knot makes it easy to adjust the tension of the rope, and in most cases, you can substitute the carabiner with it.

That flashlight looks really useful to have and it's compact for keyrings. I might get me one 🤔

Great gum choice !

Minimalist is to avoid using extra packing folder!

Nice packing! 👍I do pretty similar. tip; I got a pair of expensive (but nice) lululemon shorts with liner that work for lounging, running and swimming! My only problem is if I need another pair of shoes or sandals. Then fitting everything in my cabinzero adv 32 is tight. Still searching for a single perfect footwear..

A lot of good stuff from Matador. I love my Matador beach towel, but I ended up clipping off the zipper pulls, the noise was annoying, and used the provided pull tabs.

Congratulations on packing like a minimalist. I admire people who can do it. So I thought I was doing good going from 40 pounds to 30. Still working on it ha ha. I have a cabin zero and I am tempted to try next week! I will keep you posted. I will watch a few more videos and give some feedback. So far you have a clear concise voice. Not sure on the music. Cheers Vancouver island Canada .

Nice video. It would have been interesting to see how the Power Shuttle compares size wise to the standard XM4 case.

Hey dear i want your email address i want to talk to you about business

When I clip a water bottle onto the molle, I also add a hair tie to keep it in place, without it banging around every time I'm walking.

Cabinzero is severely underrated & overlooked! I have the 38L but still wanting the 28L.

Music is too loud and not needed

Checkout MemoBottle mate, I think it’ll keep your Sling slim. And If you prefer more organization pockets, try Bellroy Venture 6L, I own 3 Bellroy Slings, Lite Sling in Black, Venture Sling 6L and 9L in Ranger Green, all of them are great….

Thanks for sharing this video

A lighter ? TSA ?

great simple gear set, thanks for sharing!

Cool stuff, I really like the magnet idea, for paper I use post it notes.

I now own three of these! lol. I have the large lite for travel. The mini light and mini light new which I use on weekends [M-F] is work backpack. Bellroy make excellent products and the lite series is my favorite. I also got and travel with Lite Duffle.

Nice informative videos, buddy. It's a great choice of slings. 😎👍

Great review on the Bellroy. The materials used are definitely nice. It's cool to see what others are using for EDC. Thanks for sharing!

Nice video, but your angel is half cut of😢

I do the same thing. For a thumb drive, I add Velcro to that and whatever pouch it's going to be in. Keeps things in place.

Nice 👍

Interesting gear!

Off to a good start

Great video.
