My Sling Bag Every Day Carry | 2023

[@adrww]

you should do a podcast. your voice is very soothing. your advice and your videos are very informative. keep up the good work

[@NicholasGarofola]

You’re too kind, I appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@thinnthuzarhtet4823]

I second that!! your voice so addicting to listen to ☺️

[@aminm9640]

I totally agree!

[@VishnuPadmanabhan]

Totally agree, podcast would be great!

[@kellyshults6590]

Very good video! The best item was the handkerchief! My mom was a very proper lady and she always said that handkerchiefs are essential for men and women! I just smiled when I watched you today!

[@NicholasGarofola]

I’d have to agree with her! Thanks for watching 😄

[@alex8659]

Love the way you make content .Even though this is the first video I’ve seen. Very soothing and relaxing. Everything is on point in my opinion.

[@pjc531]

I have the 9L Venture Sling and it is by far the best day travel sling I've ever had. It easily fits my A6400 and a 18-135 mm lens along with wallet, keys, glasses, etc. making it perfect for a day of photography. If I am not out with the Sony set up the sling carries my Ipad Mini and more for everyday carry. I also take it on flights and fill it with everything I need for about a 7 hour door to door trip. Works for me!

[@jebaker2]

I LOVE that Anker charging brick… been using it for about 6 months now. It’s excellent!

[@laeonflux]

I have this sling in the chalk color way and it's truly wonderful. Besides the obvious and redundant fact that the thing is LITE af, it can hold way more than I expected at first and the materials feel really durable for something so light. It's comfortable, stylish and if you get used and don't need that much organization the thing is a beast, a gentle, lightweight beast.. I've been using this thing so much and that's a lot to say for someone with a serious bag addiction lmao, it's slowly becoming my favorite sling for EDC use as well.

[@marcincs330]

Does it fit a small water bottle?

[@laeonflux]

@@marcincs330 Yes it does. Not upright but you should be fine with a 20oz leak proof bottle.

[@marywall5262]

I really struggled with the style of slingbag to carry. Something told me to watch your video again…and now I am at peace with the one I have. It’s my Osprey medium sized fanny/slingbag. I commute into town daily and am uncomfortable with backpacks or mini-backpacks because it feels like someone can yank it off my back. So I really appreciate this video!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Osprey makes good stuff! glad he video helped. and yes sometimes backpacks can be a bit too much to bring on a daily basis.

[@gabewally]

I like the little animations and color palette in your videos.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks Gabe 😄

[@breec3346]

I just bought my first hankie!! Can’t wait to add it to my own edc!!

[@artupija]

Just got mine today! Love it!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 Got upsized for my Bellroy Sling Mini Bag.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@CatzzSkatesFamily]

I came here for the sling bag, but stayed for the excellent content. ❤

[@NicholasGarofola]

You’re too kind I appreciate it!

[@stelioskarabourniotis9296]

Great video ! I suggest to carry also a flashlight. Its always usefull especially in dark places and more functional from smartphone flashlight. Just say 😅 Greetings from Greece!!

[@verynearlypure]

Blue filter glasses do help with driving and eye strain 100%.

[@scavenger1362]

I recently changed my edc bag from 5.11 Rush 12 to a Go Ruck GR1. More expensive but more slick bag. Still have a first aid kit with sunglasses. A Hero Clip is good when I can’t hang my bag anywhere. Small washable hand towel, and my gym key since I don’t go without my bag.

[@nirau]

Great video as usual Nicholas! Enjoyed it a lot, also your editing is superb :) Keep it up!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks!

[@mutilaziz]

I like it, this video is very good. your tips help me !

[@jaimie4011]

Very nice and functional bag! ❤

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks Jaimie!

[@DoctorQuinlan]

Any recommendations for a similar shape bag that is CHEAPER?

[@davemeadows6688]

For your next iPad mini review can you cover which storage you recommend and Cellular or WiFi? Also screen protector. Do you use one? Thanks.

[@bhaweshsharma8136]

Workout routine and daily food intake😁

[@NicholasGarofola]

Noted!

[@Weiskk]

Sad to see you sell the PC. I had similar case as you and feel like it fits perfectly in my minimalist office. But can understand why you’d ditch it for just a MacBook n ipad

[@tsi.]

As a long-time subscriber, I hope to see your grooming routine(?). Like, what products you use on your face, what vitamins or medication you take that boosts your overall wellbeing throughout the day, and especially your perfume. I'm forgetful. So, I may have forgotten you tackled already these things in your previous vids, but... It doesn't hurt if you make a new one. Anyways, thank you for this video. I assure you, I will always watch your videos. Ps. I honestly didn't missed any since I first watched you.

[@NicholasGarofola]

That’s not a bad idea, just wrote that down in my notes. And thank you so much I appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@tsi.]

@@NicholasGarofola I can't believe you have read my comment. Thank you.

[@severtone263]

My wife just got me an EDC Sling bag for my birthday and I came here to learn how to use it properly. You delivered well sir. Sub earned.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Enjoy it!

[@AlexMacevicius]

I have been trying to decide on a sling bag, i just dont know if i would carry it as much as i'd like to. i really hate having a bunch of stuff in my pockets.

[@goat8614]

Nicholas also, last week my friends asked me what are my favorite youtube channels. You were among my top 3 ;D

[@NicholasGarofola]

I'm honored!! You're the goat.

[@ahmedsaeedbj]

And he uploaded 🔥 nice vid brotha!

[@MrEmarioyoshibro]

The best thing ever! We love it. Baby loves it. Absolutely no negative comments. I've worn it at a zoo, shopping, and even around the house. Comfortable and easy to use.

[@paologarcia1426]

That subscribe part reminds me of Mr. Ballen! Cool

[@NicholasGarofola]

He inspired me 😄

[@paologarcia1426]

you inspired me! Any suggestions? I want to do a career shift from being a programmer to being a video editor/graphics designer

[@harunomiya]

I carry beef jerky or a granola bar to stop feeling hangry. Awesome video quality.

[@xanderjones2747]

Love the content, new sub.

[@SM-yy2vg]

Wow really like how you slung your sling bag across the room.😂 You are the 2nd person I know who uses a handkerchief. The blue light glasses are an accessory, you would look ❤ in a burlap bag. 😊 Great video 😁

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!!

[@David-231]

Very good new video

[@anthonypeak1]

quick tip: the 9L bag is only slightly larger but has better materials and more organization pockets/zips

[@hasbifirmansyah-ms2my]

Hi Nic! I just want to say that your simple minimalist arrow animation has been catching my eyes! an I really liked the arrow drawing animation that you did here!, have you ever consider to released it as a product? by any change so maybe I could buy it? Thanks!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Never thought of that maybe one day 😄

[@ultracro]

Uuuuuuhuuu like Bellroy a lot! Can’t wait to buy some of their products! Keep it up and only up brudda! 🔥🔥🔥

[@montynation10]

I begin to smile/laugh when you start the channel intro and even before you get to the subscribe button sentence 😂👏👏

[@paolo7555]

thanks for that video, help me much! ur one is blue? on ur link we found just the black one..thanks again

[@NicholasGarofola]

It’s the black one

[@igorchichkin509]

WoW 🎉Nice 🎉me too its iPad mini 6 and anker chargers 🎉

[@aneurinchin]

How do you use your iPad for productivity

[@Khalmoon]

I just got one a few weeks ago, it's been nice! Might be getting that Daypack lite for bigger days

[@david_does]

Bellroy makes some great products. I ended up with a sling from ALPAKA and dig it. I may have to give Bellory a shot!

[@NicholasGarofola]

I like Alpaka a lot!

[@playhation]

I see on your edc video you still use a clip and ring. Thoughts on a key organizer? I love my leather one.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Orbitkey Key Organizer

[@gorboman]

I've the venture 6l, basalt colorway. The fabric is more rigid than your venture lite, and it doesn't come with a magnetic buckle. I wish I had gone for the 9l, but I'm learning to bring less instead.

[@guestleather9442]

gooooooooooood

[@gabewally]

I prefer using a small backpack or drawstring but I carry basically the same things.

[@goat8614]

I have the bellroy sling mini and wish that when I got it, the sling you have was out :( it’s super expensive! Also, I’m going to look into that protein bar

[@WarriorGoddessSubliminals]

Another awesome video ❤🎉

[@ahamid17]

for your next iPad topic "In what ways does the iPad mini function as a professional device for you?"

[@fredliu6532]

Can i ask what software you use to edit this video，it's absolutely beautiful and enjoyable to watch

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks! I use Final Cut Pro

[@sahilahlawat152]

Hi Nicholas, interesting your video. You have convinced me to purchase a Bellroy. What watch do you wear on your wrist? It looks to me to be as minimalist as the bag. Greetings from Switzerland.

[@edifying456]

Make a video on your ipad which includes a long term review with battery life, performance, and is it able to do video editing we'll love to hear from you❤

[@codingbeard1]

Great Video why did you sell your PC ? I consider to sell mine too, for more productivity and to be more “free” I guess, but it’s not an easy decision for me. Maybe you can do a Video about it would be interesting to get your POV and what led you to the final decision. Thanks and keep up the good work, discovered your channel few days ago, just getting into the minimalist world and so fare I love it

[@NicholasGarofola]

I didn't get a ton of use really... and when it did get used it was usually for procrastinating so I made the decision. And thanks for watching!!

[@juliemarkham4332]

Since when are handkerchiefs NOT used for snot? It's all good.

[@nappybwoii1203]

Does this bag hold an iPad Air 4?

[@NicholasGarofola]

I doubt it'd hold any iPad aside from the mini.

[@valdiarief]

Anker FTW

[@pauljakeman]

Another awesome video as always buddy! That’s a pretty cool bag that can fit a good amount of stuff in, could probably fit my camera in it’s. It’s a starter one so not massive. I think you suit glasses man. I have a blue light filter in my lenses as I’m pretty light sensitive, can’t recommend having them enough! iPad minis are awesome. End of. New iPad mini video? Awesome! What’s your most used apps that you couldn’t think of not using now, and are there any new things or apps that you use with your iPad since the last video you did on it? I’m the same with food, tbh I’m never not hungry. Great video buddy, want one now! Edit - Just checked the website and it’s available in 5 colours Black, Navy, Green, Bronze and Cream 👌🏻

[@NicholasGarofola]

Noted the ideas, thanks Paul!
