The fact that people are calling these guys out gives me hope for humanity….like seriously wtf says they’re using a tablet in lieu of a pc. Not possible 😂

[@13noman1]

Impressively compact yet loaded! For a goodly while I travelled a LOT for my work and would've loved this set up! Nowadays, I'm retired so I don't need a lot of kit but oddly, a lot of this could still serve. Lots to think about.

[@MarcusCreates]

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you’re getting some travel for pleasure in during your retirement! iPad mini fits every stage of life. 👍🏻

[@juanmolyneaux6816]

minor tweaks and this a perfect EDC period! Solid video thank you

[@hanzzz2303]

Marcus, thank you! I appreciate how you manage to review and show the sling while at the same time sharing your light travel setup. Great stuff and food for thought.

[@MarcusCreates]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daviddb1972]

Ok, I'll be honest here. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I subbed when I saw "Drink Beer, Make Stuff"! You are my people!

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@david_does]

Great video! The iPad Mini + Bluetooth keyboard combo has been an absolutely perfect setup for light weight work travel. 🙂

[@MarcusCreates]

It’s an epic setup indeed.

[@MrAlex1i]

I think my book air 15 is better. With mac you can work if your flight canceled. Sorry for my English)

[@blackmamba6938]

Anyone watching this, I suggest you get the 9L version. All your stuff fits better and isn't as squished. I got the green 6L, and while I love the colour, the 9L feels better in every way. I think the 6L is fine if all you bring with you is a phone, keys, power bank, and a few other small items. The 9L is if you might wanna carry around things like a small camera, water bottle, or umbrella.

[@fullsleevetats]

Great review. I use a similar sling from Chrome Industries, and keep my Logitech MX Mini keyboard, iPad, battery bank and other items in there as well. One thing I might suggest, is to replace your 6,000mAh battery bank with the smaller, lighter, higher capacity Nitecore NB10000 battery bank instead. It has the same number of ports, but charges faster and has higher capacity. You could fit 2 of them in the same space as your 6,000mAh unit at less weight and bulk.

[@MarcusCreates]

Wow. Ok. Will check them out. Thank you.

[@c2x3i]

Very similar to my daily carry! ❤ For keyboard I went with Logitech Keys-to-Go - it’s soft, slim, and the same size as the Mini. I add a Sea to Summit nano shopping bag in the end pouch, an S-biner and Heroclip (one either end on the outside), some mints, a Sharpie, and the Apple Watch 15cm cable. Optional addons are a Memobottle Slim, or a Sea to Summit umbrella. The inner liner tag in the Bellroy also doubles as a pouch for an AirTag. Have taken this kit domestic and international, no issues. Jetsetter always gets a raised eyebrow but has passed so far. Gerber Shard is another option I tried but it never made it past security in AU. Hope the trip goes well!

[@MarcusCreates]

Some great additions there. Do you use the Memobottle much? Would you recommend it?

[@c2x3i]

@@MarcusCreates I recommend any Memobottle if water is important to you and so is organisation. Because it's flat, they slide great into a sling and give support/protection/structure to the iPad Mini. I prefer the Slim because the Venture can accommodate the length/height and the bottle feels more traditional in style. I use it daily, but I'm a camel who can never have enough water so YMMV!

[@grettastephens1583]

I second the keys-to-go. Really slim and light. Not full sized but no problem for me as I have small hands.

[@MKFuro]

Great that you are bringing up this keyboard, since I am currently looking for a Sling that will fit my Logitech Keys-To-Go! May I ask you which sling you use? I'm currently trying to decide between the Bellroy Venture Sling 6l and 9l version for my Boox Tab Mini C + Logitech Keys-To-Go Keyboard + EDC-Stuff. I would greatly appreciate any input regarding the fit of the keyboard in your sling! Can you fit it in with the "Tablet-Holder" attached? Thanks in advance!

[@c2x3i]

@@MKFuro I’ve used both the 6L and the 9L, it fits in both! 6L is a bit tight to zip up but it definitely fits. I use it with iPad Mini 6th Gen with a standard Apple cover. Edit: no tablet holder, I let it sit free and flat.

[@cecilereyna]

I love that you bring a medical kit. Most people just bring tons of tech which is stupid at the end of the day.

[@MarcusCreates]

A mini personalized medic kit is probably the most used item in this whole video 😂

Great video Marcus, taking much away for my own travels from your vid.

[@MarcusCreates]

Great. Safe travels and have fun!!!

[@enriquediaz7547]

Very timely. I just returned from a trip & I like to analyze what went right/wrong. It’s definitely a compromise game but that is part of the fun. I like to carry the Logitech keyboard which is also splash proof.

[@MarcusCreates]

Smart move, especially if you’re traveling with the kiddos. 💦🌊

[@VinceMayer]

Leading up to a trip, I make a checklist of what I want to bring. I use a free app called drafts and check/add to it as I think of things. What’s great is you can uncheck everything when you get there and re-check as you pack to make sure you didn’t forget anything, but I start with my old packing lists from previous trips for the next trip and it has helped me a ton!

[@MarcusCreates]

Love this idea. I almost always make a packing list in notes on my iPhone that I share with my wife. Thanks for the heads up.

[@George-nx8zu]

Would love a future review on the slightly larger Patagonia Atom Sling

[@johnfredrick4138]

Nice video. I love your setup. Minimal and clean. That's usually how I like to travel. Light and efficient. I'm checking out the Bellrpy sling because of this video. Thanks!

Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks, will do!

[@peterpayne2219]

I love the Satechi Slim X1 keyboard which is a super good keyboard that connects to three devices. I can do anything on the road.

[@MarcusCreates]

Nice!!! Have you had it for long?

[@KhalidAlenezi-123]

I have a similar carry (same sling and ipad mini) and I have to say, the folding keyboard is brilliant! You might be interested in Sharge Flow. It's a tiny 10k mAh powerbank that fits perfectly inside the side pouches of the sling

[@StarboardOar87]

This is a really interesting setup... I have an ipad pro which might be the primary reason i can't get things this compact. Makes me wonder how I'd do with an iPad mini... maybe fine for most trips, but not as ideal for photo editing on-the-go? Anyways, I think if you like that aurora a2, you should really give the a8 and a28 a try. They are not as aesthetically pleasing, but the added functionality of the side lights on the clear case is incredible. The a28 actually lives in my pocket, but if I need something smaller, I like the a8. On trips, I have both. When I found myself walking on the side of a poorly lit road, I attached the a8 to my bag in a flashing red mode to keep myself visible, and used the a28 to light the way ahead. Both of them clip on to a hat to use them like a headlamp and the side white lights + magnetic clips great for ambient light in dark places. Very functional lights!

[@edtcempr245]

same problem , people with photo and video editing going to suffer more. I had a pixel 7 pro for editing videos, but need photoshop and illustrator for edit PDFs with images and design for social media. Looking for something in between, the ipad pro its my main goal but i think its not goinf to solution the weight and space problem. I do travel with camp, sleep bag, dji mini 3, dji gymbal and many other things... I really need help with the space and design situation xD

[@thebeardedphotog]

Great video Marcus. Really enjoyed it. You gained a like & a sub 😊 much love from Eire.

[@696969bold]

1. The Nitcore NB 10k powerbank. So lightweight, thin footprint, gets it done. 2. Anker GaN 67-140w charging station. Gets me into plugs in tight small spaces. 2a. If short vacation trip, just the Samsung 15w charger duo--fast charges phone, watch 6, Buds2Pro with one flat devices. The 25w power adapter/usb-c cable are bonus when I want a direct plug or a cable. 3. The Microsoft universal foldable keyboard is my go to. It's waterproof, pairs to Apple, android and pc, pairs to two devices, and has an extremely small footprint. 4. Quarles magsafe air vent mount. (Not all Rental cars have android/Apple Auto and a video display) 5. InCharge X 6-in-1 cable has saved me many-a-times. Such a small lightweight option. 6. (a & b) Hand sanitizer and mini compressed towels. 7. Trident chewing gum for the flight The Osprey Ultralight 1L waist pack fits all that and much, much more. Then packs down to nothing if not needed. Weighs 2.88 ounces.

[@MarcusCreates]

You know what you like. Thanks for sharing. Haven’t tried out the MS foldable keyboard but it’s on my list.

[@wisperingbeard]

Nice kit. I’d suggest a fisher space pen instead of that Olight. Fisher space pen bullet in particular. In matte black or brass. It’s got a classier look than that Olight, just as small when capped and it posts into a full size pen. It’s also pressurized.

[@beausmith6010]

Marcus, one of my favorite videos of yours. So practical and very useful. I am able to adapt my own personal carries with this and you've also give n me some great add on ideas. Thank you as always. :)

I recently started travelling 11 inch M1 iPad Pro only, leaving my old MacBook pro at home. My carry on is almost 2kgs lighter and love the IPADOS 17.1 external display support 😊. Really enjoyed the video Marcus, keep up the great work! 👍🙏

[@MarcusCreates]

Very nice! My only problem with the Mac mini is it doesn’t run Final Cut Pro so I can’t edit videos on it. FCP only works on M1 chips. So I’m tempted to either buy a new 11” M1 iPad or wait for the mini to get the M1 upgrade. Your setup sounds awesome. 😎

[@john.heinlein]

@@MarcusCreates Does the 11" iPad fit in the Venture Sling 6L? I agree the mini is great, I used to use it, but I'm using 11" now and would love that to fit. Thanks for the thoughtful video, very helpful

[@henryjtodd]

@@john.heinlein Late response but no, it doesn’t fit. I have the 9L version and it *barely* fits an 11” (diagonally across the whole main pocket, zipper is tight to close).

[@oscarsalgado5871]

What do you carry to clean your glasses?

[@VinceMayer]

This is a great video! I do have a couple recommendations: Tom Bihn Ghostwhale mini pouch makes a great travel over the counter med holder, mine is stuffed with bandaids, alcohol swabs, pepto chewables and DayQuil Nitecore NB10000 battery is a 10k mAH battery and looks to be smaller than the 6k you are using Rollingsquare InCharge X or XL cable: will do everything, usb A or C to C/micro/lightning, and it can do 100 watts Nanobag standard: very compact pouch that opens up to a 19L bag that can hold 60+ pounds, very handy when you need to expand your capacity in a hurry. JSAUX Anti slip holder for handheld - my go to phone/ipad stand, folds very flat and is adjustable angle. I keep a microfiber lens cloth in my sling as well for my glasses or electronics. Hope that helps and most of it is on sale for Black Friday / cyber Monday!

[@MarcusCreates]

Oh man I’m such a huge Tom Bibb fan. I even went and visited their factory one time a couple of years ago. Thanks for reminding me. You have some super gear on this list.

Everybody should be aware that the SSD by Sandisk shown in the video (5:18) has a habit for failing. All data just disappears. I also used them and just switched to Samsung.

[@MarcusCreates]

I haven’t heard that nor have I ever had a problem with mine, but you’re the second person to say this on this video. I use lots of different SSD’s and have never had an issue with any brand tbh. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

love your travel setup! I am trying a brand called alpaka? I use al elements tech case max? Got pink limited color, added teal zipper pulls and a Miami Vice keychain bottle opener. I just got a nitecore tiki? its small like your light, but got it at tractor supply black friday sale for $5! Couldnt beat it. I have a 2 port folding prong anker charger like the one youre talking about, it was expensive iirc, my daughter got it for me to be able to charge my macbook (which I do not use, my ipad mini6 does everything I need...), my ipad, my folding keyboard with mouse pad, a short and long quick charge cables, I keep eye drops, hand wipes, hand non alcoholic hand sanitizer, beats gym bt earbud things from costco, I carry a dark angel medical kit, an extra tourny, a small anker battery for phone and light refill. Have a 2500L coast usbc full hand sized light in bag, sometimes I dont bring it if the keychain light and headlamp are all I need. My headlamp is a small coast light, rechargeable, has red, blk, and standard light. Toothpicks. granola bar. jerky. sunglasses. sunblock. thin utl gloves that double for warmth. usually I wont bring multi tools or anything with me. depending on where I am going and what I am doing, I also do foodie stuff, so sometimes I'll carry dining set on me, ive used those in defensive situations. Same when I have traveled for automotive related activities, I carried a screw driver, utl blade, and etc. Ive defended against being robbed, assaulted, etc. I also usually acquire a multitool when I am in country somewhere. When I leave if it was cheap, I just give stuff away. But if it was something nicer, like when I was visiting a buddy who was SAS, he gave me a special gerber tool with topography lasering besides deep engraving for their chicken insignia haha. Your videos help me find all sorts of neat things, I am really glad I found your page!

How is your experience going through airport check with having multitool like victorinox in the bag? I had it in my sling pouch during my travel in the past but lately it has been spotted but it was a busy hours and the plane is boarding soon so they didn't check it thoroughly and luckily, it was not confiscated.

Will this fit the iPad Mini alongside a small mirrorless like an A7C with a 20mm lens?

[@MarcusCreates]

I just checked. I have an A7C II and it won’t fit with the 28-70mm kit lens and an iPad mini. I also have the Bellroy 9L and it’s just about fits both in that.

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@MarcusCreates Thank you for checking. So when you want to bring your iPad Mini and Camera, what bag do you use? - or is that something you don't usually bring together? :)

[@MarcusCreates]

@@DigiDriftZone oh man. Now you’re opening a whole can of worms. I have various options. Maybe I’ll cover in a video in a couple of weeks. Bottom line it depends. Day trip I use a sling. Few days away I use a backpack. Favorites are Peak Design, Bellroy, Tom Bihn and Victorinox.

[@DigiDriftZone]

@@MarcusCreates The niche I'm trying to fill is we have airlines here in the UK that have BRUTAL bag limits. So I have a specialised shitty bag to maximise for space allowance - but it's not a good day bag. I want a sling to use at the destination that is small enough for the airline not to complain if I wear it on the front, but large enough to fit an iPad Mini and my ZV-E1 (A7C II sized) with a compact lens (like the Samyang 18mm f/2.8). I bought the Aer Day Sling 3 and it almost fits this, but just too small by like 1cm. I was hoping the Bellroy 9L would do but maybe not, also lack of a tablet compartment is not great. Now I'm looking at maybe the Aer Pro Sling, but there's no front pocket which is not great :( - any thoughts heh?

[@MarcusCreates]

@@DigiDriftZone try the 9L Belroy and return it if it doesn’t fit. It’s a great sling.

Thank you for your time doing this video, it was quite intresting. Bu what does EU airport security says about the Victorinox Jetsetter, i ask because 2018 on Arlanda Stockholm i got a Leatherman Style PS confisqated, because the file could be taken for a blade. I said it was TSA approved, the answer i got was we are in EU now.

[@MarcusCreates]

I’ve been successful traveling through Dublin Airport with the Jetsetter. It was probably the most scrutiny I faced in getting it through though. Honestly it’s down to how well trained the security agent is, if they’re having a bad day or not etc. It’s easier for them to just say ‘no’ out of an abundance of caution.

[@MagnusMiselli]

Pretty much any sharp object is not allowed in the EU. Have to unload a mini screw driver and my Victorynox every time I fly… it sucks but I guess it makes everyone much…”safer”….or something

Hello Marcus, very nice video. I have two questions. Because of your positive comment I bought the olight baton 4 premium edition, I can use it as flashlight and also as charger for my phone or headphones, would you use this instead of your flashlight and charger? And I normally wear full ANC headphones when in a plane (Bose), they will not fit in this bag, maybe using a small carabiner but I think it will be complicated. Any thoughts?

Great video, its very useful.

[@MarcusCreates]

Glad you think so!

Don’t keep anything mission critical on that Sandisk. They’ve admitted that they’re faulty and have released a firmware update for them, which may or may not solve the problem of total data wipe. I couldn’t get my data off of my sandisk 2tb fast enough!

[@MarcusCreates]

It’s always backed up. The worst case scenario is I would lose the work I’ve done on the flight. And I’ve never had a problem with them but appreciate the heads up.

How many go is your mini?

[@MarcusCreates]

256gb

[@Overide21]

does the Arteck keyboard have usb-c?

[@MarcusCreates]

It’s the one drawback. It has micro usb to charge it. But I get 20+ hours of use out of a charge so you don’t need to bring a cable on the trip. But would be perfect if it was usb c

[@lucasferrer7005]

this one seems better than the Tomtoc of 4L... the bellboy has more though onto detail no doubt, but for the 35$ I paid for the Tomtoc I am very happy

[@ghostly606]

I travel with my book in one hand and my passport and phone in my back pockets. Sorted.

[@MrTVervolg]

the Ipad mini is an awesome product, I really hope that when they update it they will keep the same size but make ik more "pro" (best chipset, promotion display,...)

[@MarcusCreates]

100%. Please Apple. iPad mini pro.

[@WalksInCamera]

Just wondering if you've ever thought of something like Remarkable as an option for note taking and thoughts/ideas? I see you use a compact notebook. Alternatively is there any way to use an Apple pencil to write notes in OneNote or other app on an iPad Mini.

[@MarcusCreates]

Is the reMarkable 2 worth it - why i'm returning it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIvKond_ndydmKc

[@WalksInCamera]

@@MarcusCreates Thanks, very useful. Going to give Rocketbook a try. A mixture of written and e-storage.

[@ReelyBad]

You should try getting a Samsung fold phone. You can leave the iPad mini at home. It's a phone/tablet. Can use a stylus on it as well. Plus it's not an Apple which is awesome.

[@EDC.Research]

Awesome stuff! I’m always looking for ways to make travel better hahaha

[@MarcusCreates]

You and me both! Thanks for watching and for the support. 👍🏻

[@timdahl8912]

My jetsetter was taken from me by TSA at the ATL airport. :(

[@MarcusCreates]

Booo 👎🏻

Where are your glasses from?

[@MarcusCreates]

Warby Parker

[@stephanem5125]

Great video. I didn’t fully understand why you bring the external hard drive. What you use it for in such small trip ?

[@MarcusCreates]

Good question and I didn’t address it in the video. A lot of the work I was doing in this trip was in PowerPoint. I was building several different decks to present at different events. And I needed a large library of other presentations I’d previously made to copy from. So I just dumped everything onto the 4TB hard drive so I’d have fast access on the plane.

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback. Much appreciated. Helps keep motived to post.

Marcus, leave the Swiss Army knife home if you’re flying to or in the US.

[@MarcusCreates]

Good advice, but I need a little scissors with me 😊

[@eoinmurray3939]

Whahey! Gwan Marcus

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks Murray!!

[@iainamurray]

Bit of a shock at 5 minutes. You're half the man you used to be!

[@MarcusCreates]

Boom. Thanks for noticing buddy. I’ve been hitting the gym and dropped 40lbs. 💪🏼

[@enduringtech822]

I personally do not know anyone who bring a multitool when they travel? Why do i see so many western KZbinr who must have their tool/blade? May I asked how thay have help in your travel?

[@MarcusCreates]

Mostly for clipping nails, cutting tags, opening things. I think the thing here is, when you’re going away for several days but only bringing hand luggage, what do you do?

[@enduringtech822]

@@MarcusCreates I guess I just usually tear through my snack packaging or use a key to puncture it. A multi tool is definitely better yet I don't want tomrisk losing it to the security.

[@sameeralazawee7524]

Thank you
