Thank you for another excellent video, Chris! One of my favorite pens is the Tombow Mono Multi Pen - combining a pencil and two colored ballpoint pens in a single unit.

[@stpenker]

Great vid good sir - would def like to see the personal edc. Always lookin for good wallet recs!

[@Christomshack]

You got it. Current wallet is the Pilot from Andar and it has been great thus far 🤝🏼

[@mohamadkary7598]

Lol had no idea u skydive. But I run polarized lenses when I jump and if you hold your forearm up in front of u vertically I never had an issue seeing it. But that’s gonna depend your muscle memory and how u check ur altitude normally.

[@birdswithbeau]

Great video, I also have the T7 shield, Its great! That sling bag is awesome too, but someone else definitely needs it more than I do! One of my best tech purchases were the Sony WH1000 XM4 headphones, they are the greatest. I have been using them almost every single day for 3 years, and they still give me around a week of battery!

[@Christomshack]

Thanks, and nice! Totally agree, the XM4's are still incredible. They were my go-to headphones for travel until I gave them to my gf 🙌🏼

[@Eddywesside]

Awesome Video!!! I’m definitely interested in the Moment sling.. I’ve been notified I’m going back into the office and this would be great as an EDC for my essentials, i like the idea of keeping it in the backpack to use & limit what’s in your pockets when you don’t need everything. Looking forward to more videos of yours like this! Thanks, Edward

[@Christomshack]

Happy to hear! Sounds like you’d get a lot of use out of the sling as well.

[@ReynoldsGroupRadio]

Pen recommendation - any from Baron Fig. High quality, easy to hold, it writes beautifully.

[@Christomshack]

Thanks for the recc! I've used several of their journals/planners from James Clear and never noticed they offered pens. Will be checking them out 🤝

[@tech6309]

Finally, someone who gets how awesome the OG nomatic is. Best tech bag ever.

[@gregorydaines]

A small first aid kit is really handy. Add some antibacterial wipes and some sugar cubes for low blood sugar are so handy.

[@Christomshack]

Solid reccs! I carry a CAT in the bag for severe emergencies and LMNT packets for electrolytes, but adding a small first aid kit and wipes is smart.

[@dcooper701]

pen recommendation Refyne - two different sizes and both feel great to write with.

[@Christomshack]

Appreciate the recc! The EP1 looks 🔥

[@htoomyatzeyar4366]

The quality of these videos are amazing

[@joshynocones440]

What was the suitcase you were using? (when you were showing the pass thru). Curious, would you say a carry on suitcase plus the travel pack is enough for long term work/travel?

[@JonAdamsTech]

I've been using the full focus planner for a few years now, it's so great! Solid video man.

[@Christomshack]

Thanks man! Anything in specific you like/dislike about the planner?

It’s a pretty average bench. It looks like 225. My older brother can do that. And his friend which are 18.

[@relkukz_cs7590]

Look into polarizing film. It'll make any non polarizered screen become usuable with a polarized sunglass, etc.

@snaranjo i’ll use the bag to carry T2 transition equipment and posible try to store the gels for the run. Great video, as well! Didn’t feel long at all

Wow, the photos by RICOH RG3 are stunning, and the camera seems to be pretty portable.

[@vuthanh8522]

Really like ur backpack although it's too pricey for me. I can't believe how rare backpacks with a curved zipper like that are around me. That design clearly makes taking a laptop or anything from the main compartment much easier and more comfortable in comparison with the traditional straight-zipped locks.

[@LouieFajardo1989]

So delighted to see a KZbin tech reviewer at the same time awesome to watch because he’s so handsome 😅

[@JohnnyDyoutube]

The short usb-c cable with ssd sleeve is brilliant

[@Christomshack]

If only there was an even shorter option out there without as much excess cable 🧐

[@nancyadams9228]

Have you considered PacSafe bags? I would never carry a bag that doesn’t have a locking/anti-slashing system.

[@ronlewis6451]

Great video as always. Been using the planner since they came out and it is my favorite. Also, I picked up a T7 after watching a previous video - great recommendation!

[@Christomshack]

Great choice going with the T7! Thanks Ron 🤝🏼

[@davidmasneri3505]

@dmasneri22 I will use the minibag in an everyday University setting.

[@robcor80]

@robcor80 will probably use the sling for my 5k runs, usually get a bite and beer after and need to carry wallet phone etc, with me so I don't have to walk back to my car. Great video Chris, love seeing the doggies.

[@Christomshack]

Sounds like a great use for it! Great seeing you in the comments again, Rob 🤝

[@dreamersparadise98]

Pen recommendation: Tactile Turn, awesome bolt action pens made in the US

[@stitch0666]

I like the bag a lot, I currently use the North face Router backpack, its 40L. That one seems like it might be a better option. Great Video overall though, thank you

[@Christomshack]

It's the best I've found for organization and functionality! North face makes some great bags too

[@christiansimmons630]

Great review but isn’t that the 14-20litre version? As the top doesn’t expand out like the 20-30litre version

[@okokokokok634]

Hey Chris, I already like the style you showcase your videos, and since you post your first video of sigmaOS, I have been waiting for videos of useful MacBook apps or tricks. And... Im hoping to see more videos from you,

Hello Chris, future content idea: Details about your journey as a developer, learning and then entering the field.

[@Christomshack]

Hey, I like it! Thanks for the idea 🙌🏼 I plan on creating content that shows more of my journey personally/professionally and appreciate comments like this that support that goal. I think that type of content fosters better connections with everyone, too.

@simplyrichy_ I’d totally use it for traveling back and forth to replace my North Face backpack! This one seems to have a pocket for everything! No more tangled cables and devices scratching each other lol. (Love the planner btw!)

[@Jadelover123]

Love to her your opinion on why Garmin watch over Apple Watch especially since you are in the ecosystem

[@Christomshack]

There's a ton I could say here that I'll talk about in an upcoming comparison (currently wearing both) video, but it ultimately comes down to battery life, flashlight (epix pro 2), and all of the built-in health tracking within the garmin watches. Pros and cons with both though, and I think Apple is only a few iterations away from taking over the market entirely.

[@Jadelover123]

I agree with you completely here. I have an Epix Pro Gen 2 as well as Apple Watch and while I have tried, I can’t do two watch thing. I have a Whoop as well but couldn’t stick with a device on each wrist lol. I think the Garmin, from health tracking standpoint is more refined but your right Apple is close…honestly if they could just get battery life to somewhere around 6-7 days I would be in

[@gregrowan843]

good video, good gear. a bit out my personal budget but definitely look worth the investments for long term use

Cool video, backpack and accessories, just a little surprising to see that in your country it’s common using physical wallets yet 😅.

[@Christomshack]

I typically always use apple pay, but still carry a small wallet with cash and 2-3 credit cards for emergencies. Most friends and others I know do the same. Do you not carry wallets in your country?

[@ksajamx]

@@Christomshack Thanks for the answer, I’m from Brazil, at least in my city (Sao Paulo) it is not very common anymore with young people, older people usually prefer cards or cash, it’s not like china that everyone uses phones only but it started to become the standard here.

T7 Shield is awful, so many people have issues with loose USB-C connectors. Mine was loose from day one, even a slight movement would disconnect the drive. Sent it back to Samsung in the Netherlands who found nothing wrong and sent it back, and left me to fight to not pay a large customs charge for "importing" the drive to the UK, which took weeks to sort through and ended up with legal threats from the courier who shipped it to me with the charge to pay later. Won't buy Samsung ever again.

Same here! Sounds like we’re in similar positions with always having multiple bags for various different aspects of life 😅 Apologies if too personal, but how has the transition out of sport been?
