One thing I would implore anyone to consider when watching this video is... do I actually need this? KZbin videos love to make suggestions on products you should buy to both get views/subscribers and affiliate link revenue. I'm not here to tell you how to spend your money. Do what you want. I would, however, strongly suggest you consider how much you actually need any of these things. Maybe you realistically don't need any of these things, or maybe you would be perfectly fine with a much cheaper option that would accomplish the same thing. Save your money where you can.

Had the same thoughts. I like practical gadgets. But what i also like is to keep it simple and essential.

The Owala bottles are a game changer. I love that my straw is not exposed to the air. I can drink my water while driving and not have to tip my head back. And my drinks stay cold for a very long time. I own various sizes and colors. 🎉

[@anvitsharma4885]

exactly what i've been looking for too..non exposed lid with straw !!

[@JonCross]

Completely agree love mine handle can also clip as well

[@kawika802]

I bought a 24oz Owala and love it. The FreeSip feature is awesome.

[@Mamame4]

I wanted a water bottle to travel with that wouldn’t have the mouthpiece/straw exposed to germs and the Owala works great. The 24 oz. isn’t horribly bulky either.

[@sailorbrite]

Those cadence capsules are so cool but they’re just too expensive for me.

[@mhf0gamer]

I'm an owala convert as well! My criteria for settling for it are 1) straw accessible, 2) covered spout/straw, and 3) one-handable (aka easy to open and drink using only one hand). I've looked through the popular brands and none met my criteria except for owala. Added bonus is if the content gets low enough that the straw doesn't reach it anymore, i can just tilt it back and take a swig to completely empty it. No need to remove the whole cover.

[@evshrug]

My MOST essential Amazon EDC item: a RovyVon keychain flashlight. I’m surprised they didn’t mention lights in the video. Sometimes you need to see the bottom of your bag (particularly if the bag is lined in dark fabric), check charging ports for pocket lint, see a keyhole, look under your car, feel safe while walking along streets at night or ability to dazzle someone, etc. They can even improve photography or videos without causing the ugly flat look of phone cameras or loss of contrast, if you get a flashlight with a good bulb. I LOVE my RovyVon “A5.” It’s truly small, shorter than a house key so it can live comfortably on a keychain, even dangling from my car’s ignition without knocking on my tall-guy knees. Yet, it’s long enough to hold without being fiddly. It also glows in the dark, making it easier to find my keys sometimes. The single light switch controls a lot of modes, but it’s intuitive: click once to turn it on at low brightness - to save power, save night vision, and just look at something up close like in a bag - make it a step brighter with each single press, double click to turn it off, and if you need max brightness at any point just hold the button down - MUCH brighter than any phone, even with the special LED bulb. It’s a Nichia C bulb which has almost the full visible spectrum contained in its white light, so it really makes colors pop in photos & videos without introducing any flickering or unhealthy looking color tints. The battery is rechargeable, and even after 4 years I can still rely on it for over a month’s use. It’s the kind of product that had me stop looking for something “better” after 6 years of looking, and as I said I have used this almost daily for four years.

What type of wallet is it that Tom Pulled out of his pocket @14:20?

[@westieclo]

So one thing I got from Amazon that I love travelling with but also wear regularly, is the Everyday California ‘Floating Waterproof Snapback’ Surf Hat. It's normally a 34USD hat that is waterproof. Although, this means it doesn't breathe, I love travelling with it to rainy places like the UK and Norway. The material is soft and it folds decently well. It's by no means super packable, but you can fit it between packing cubes or rolled clothes. I just pack it in the corner of suitcases or backpacks like an L shape. I just like having something that I can wear when I expect to wear a rain shell as well.

[@houserhythm]

I was a Bellroy Venture Ready 2.5L "fanatic" myself, ever since it came out. But lately I tend to grab the Evergoods CAS2 more often than the Bellroy. Still like the Bellroy, but the CAS2 seems to be the perfect sling for me, since they updated it with the buckle at one end of the strap instead of the middle.

[@Pine_Peaks]

I didn’t use the dirty clothes compartment of the peak design packing cubes for years and then one trip I used it and had an “aha” moment when I totally understood why they designed it. Now I use it on every trip!

[@shantela.martinez3564]

I end up using the Peak Design “dirty” pocket for a small plastic bag in case of wet laundry in a pinch, but also to hold laundry sheets. A one stop shop for laundry as the clothes get dirty over travel.

[@oidokun]

The peak design packing cube is the end game of packing cubes, theres no point of other companies making them anymore honestly.

[@Lushfish8]

The down side to the PD cubes are they they don’t fully close, as when you pack them there’s a gap and the zip can open.

[@oidokun]

@@Lushfish8 are there hypalon zipper pulls that you can lock together? I need to check mine. I do think the open pull tab that creates the gap is unneeded and they should scrap it

We got the Belroy sling before our Europe trip last summer, it's now my husband's staple travel item so that he's not losing things out of his pockets. Love this bag.

[@jeannesauvage117]

Unlike you guys, I do use my two-sided packing cube for clean/dirty. Specifically, I have an Acteon double sided packing compression packing cube that I use for underwear. I do a lot of regular traveling that doesn't need me to wash on the go, so I just pack enough underwear for the whole trip (usually 5 days) and put the dirty stuff in the other side. It stays the same size because it's just clean to dirty and I know at a glance what is clean and dirty. I have convinced my family to do the same thing. It just takes the guesswork out of the clean-dirty situation and I get home knowing what to wash. For the amount I travel, it is super helpful. Also, I use the thin Arcade belt--it is a must have for me as a woman. And I swear by the Side by Side "Passport Pouch." it is small, lightweight, fits what I need for a travel day, and is small enough that no one thinks it is too big for me to just wear on the flight. It fits my phone, wallet, chapstick, my epi-pen, a small lotion container, a tiny pen (that it comes with), It is truly a game changer for me.

[@oidokun]

Its blowing my mind right now that there are so many people that dont use the dirty clothes compartment of the bag, its the biggest feature of the bag imo

lunchbox labs Sling Bag is fast becoming my go-to for travel slings. It is a big bulkier than my usual sling, but can hold up a 24oz water bottle (including an Oawala), has security features on the zippers and strap, and is just minimal enough in its design to be used for anything from music festivals to sight seeing to conferences.

Love that Allett travel wallet. I use it for EDC when not traveling, with index cards or a small notebook in the passport sleeve and a pen in the pen slot.

[@jokerman545]

Pro tip with the Owala (or any other straw bottle)on a flight is to partially unscrew the entire top to relieve pressure rather than leaving the spout open

Got the 9l bellroy venture a while back based off your review and still really love using it, but bought a tomtoc xpac sling I think 4l and it’s nice to have something a little bit smaller, plus it’s waterproof :)

[@evshrug]

I was gifted the same TomToc Compact EDC sling (4.5L) except mine is in the “inky blue” color… I would have rather had any other color combo (except the basic black with invisible black interior), but you can’t really look a gift horse in the mouth, right? I love it, bring it with me everyday to keep a consistent place for cables and keys/wallet regardless of my pants choice, and it was absolutely awesome for taking out my Nintendo Switch Lite whenever I had to wait for something. Less social media doom scrolling 😂 The Inky Black colorway does have a light gray interior, which does help me see contents better than black fabric would have.

Great one! I use the Eagle Creek Pack-It Isolate Slim Cube M for each pair of my size 13 Vivo Barefoot shoes. They will each hold a pair of many Vivo's including minimal sandals. They work great without the flop and help compress the shoes together flat. I think it goes without saying they don't work for boots, but its a little space saving hack I use to keep things tight. I'm curious what the name of that tracker card is, and what wallet Tom is using? Have a great day!

Have the odealla bottle snd love it. But for travel where youre going to just have a sling on you for the day, im getting a memo bottle a6 to try ...its only 12oz but will fit in my aer day3 sling much better than a 20oz round insulated bottle...and i can bring myself to hang it from the sling, just not comfortable when walking without putting it back in my hand.

[@RabidMonkeyOnCrack]

I think the Anker 3-in-1 charger is better than the ESR since the Apple Watch charger is built into it and flips out from the bottom, it’s not a separate attachment that you can potentially lose.

[@evshrug]

Agree with all your points, but ouch $109! I bought one that trades price for a much bulkier item… but every other point still holds up! -Less space in a bag than 3 separate chargers, 3 cables -More organized, more minimalist -MagSafe is THE BEST for aligning wireless charging!! -Horizontal mounting of a phone is great for viewing content, or making a clock/reminder screen when not in use. -Helps charging cables last longer because you (or THAT family member👋) are not resting the phone on top of a cable bent to 90°

[@TischTosh]

If you like the Arcade belts, you should try the one from Groove Life! I switched a while back and really like the material of the GL. It is still stretchy, but not as much, so it still feels like a traditional belt....and I've never had any issues with it in TSA.

[@ZZ_Szabo]

I have a similar plastic belt I usually use, and have been asked about it before. I just ask (as ignorantly sounding as I can) "uhm, its plastic, do you need me to take it off still." Everytime, its "Oh Plastic, yeah you can leave it on then."

@LayaWhite While what you say is true in many respects, it kinda takes away the weight that the consumer should carry, themselves, by abusing online purchasing. There are definitely good reasons not to have malls with the advent of online shopping, but it's too easy for large online business to take more money in a sitting than they "should". Money that can keep local places going. I don't live in a huge town, albeit bigger than yours, and I've seen in the last few years a 40+ year old shoe store, 40+ year old hardware store, and a 30+ year old book store all close down. They weren't ripping people off and were well loved but still closed. Pandemic was the nail in the coffin for good local business.
