Spoke with Pakt about the sling, they said there aren't plans to sell this exact sling, but they may be working on a new design for sometime in the future! I'll be sure to keep everyone posted. What's your favorite EDC item these days? ⬇️

Aer has a sling that I purchased, but I always feel self conscious going out with something like that. Almost like I'm carrying a purse or something. I'm so used to having my backpack that the sling seems too small. But, I should probably get over it and try it out again. Get all the keys and junk out of my pockets.
@joshfenn3 жыл бұрын
I would have definitely been right there with you 5-10 years ago, but the sling bags have gotten so popular and common now I feel like the stigma has mostly gone away for me. Haters are gonna hate, gotta rock your sling if you want to haha.

My EDC is a slim wallet with 3 cards and one bank note. Keys. AirPods. 256GB iPhone 8, 32GB Apple Watch SE. I have it all in a red & black theme. I am a huge music lover so have thousands of songs on my phone. I love my smart watch and have a couple hundred songs on there in case my phone battery runs out of juice while I am out.

I live in Dubai and the hot weather here prevents me from carrying anything bigger than a sling and for the wallet I used to have the Craft and Lore Enfold Card Wallet made from the horween chromexcel leather but now I am trying the Bellroy Slim Sleeve Premium. It is a nice wallet especially that it fits well with my jeans pants.

Good video, I'm really into edc, and if I could recommend looking into a main knife to go with your Leatherman, look into a Benchmade bugout or mini bugout, super Light weight and funtional, Benchmade customer service is top notch. Also not for everybody i guess but I'd recommend a proprietary light weight flashlight, like a rechargeable olight slr1 baton or even cheap a single aaa streamlight microstream to keep in your bag.

Great video, but a wallet less world is truly scary. Don't know exactly how you meant that, but when currency is gone, good luck. Big Government will always equate to small people. At any rate, the Squirt is awesome and I bought a Shinola leather watch strap a few months back. I mostly wear my GShock Mudman, but have a few nice automatics which I really dig using quality leather straps with. I know Detroit well, but am actually from Cleveland. Nice video and keep up the good work...

I can appreciate the concern, but I feel like the chances of someone slicing the sling bag off of me are probably similar to a regular pickpocket if it was still on my person, or someone just robbing me at knifepoint.

Contactless payments are pretty prominent in many parts of the world already, further expansion is a matter of when, not if or how. The company mainly make watches and bikes actually, the wallets are just a small accessory in their stores so I think they’re safe. Also, make sure not to actually keep condoms in your wallet, you don’t want to compromise the effectiveness and have an accidental pregnancy on your hands. 👍
