The 3 Things I Can’t Travel Without.

Buy the travel essentials I mentioned here! carrot.link/th...
Oh Denmark! A lovely little country. A country where my good ol' pal Taylor is currently living and going to school. Where specifically in Denmark you may ask? Well, Copenhagen! A nice little city. Anyways join me on a trip to Copenhagen and see what my essentials are for packing. I've only left the United States once but this is definitely in my top 2 favorite countries. Now travel is my thing, my entire personality. I love it. Take me abroad.

The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jacket to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)

[@MisterKnightly]

I was going to make dinner, but I'm more invested in Mike and Taylor than I am with my own well being

[@TheIronSnail]

PHIL!!

[@damonprovinge1294]

Why is every video a piece of art

[@TheIronSnail]

wow what a nice compliment!

[@amaniahnuar]

At this point, we're secretly waiting to see Taylor in the video with you ✊🏻🥺

[@TheIronSnail]

ha! She's the secret star

[@jacobvonloh69]

Came for the clothes, stayed for the love story 🥺👖🧥🧦

[@TheIronSnail]

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@missfeisty]

I love the cutaways. Makes me feel like I am watching a drama movie where the main character is always explaining what they would have done differently in their life.

[@benficaM8888]

get an RM williams comfort craftsman, the most comfortable leather shoes or boots ever. ZERO break in time. High quality, refined enough to be worn at fine dining situation, but casual enough for outdoors

[@TheIronSnail]

I'll have to check them out more!

[@agskater1914]

I came to watch your content for your amazing editing, documentation of your life, and your comedy. Fashion comes second for me. Hope all is well with you

[@billtodd7693]

So glad you went to Copenhagen. I was afraid when you kept saying you were going to a far off land that it was a trip to Japan to see Bahzad (although that would’ve been an awesome trip). Anyway, I kept my fingers crossed that it was a trip to Denmark to see Taylor, so I was relieved to find out that was the case. You’re a very lucky man, Mr Kristy!!

[@TheIronSnail]

thank you very much my good friend!

[@roberttudisco6530]

I studied abroad in Denmark in college and absolutely loved it! Its such a beautiful country during the Spring, when the sun decides it wants to come out. Otherwise yes it is 100% going to rain. Great video as always!

[@TheIronSnail]

Agreed and thank you!!

[@PANDAPOWER3000]

funny how Sandqvist, Fjällräven, Hestra, and that airbag helmet thing are all swedish brands. get over to stockholm mikey

[@quistmo4417]

Hurra!

[@TheIronSnail]

I KNOW! I gotta get there!

[@brendanr.3087]

Really cute video! I’m glad you got to spend time with Taylor and meet her friends!

[@TheIronSnail]

Thank you!

[@leoeli577]

Next time you visit Taylor you two should travel over the bridge to Malmö 😁 haven’t been there much but the surrounding areas are beautiful! (Sweden ftw, okay..) I think the weather will be much more pleasant when summer hits! So, the summer is a perfect time to visit the love of your life again! I am so glad you guys are still going strong :) take care!

[@TheIronSnail]

Oh I'll be back there soon!

[@danjie3000]

Next time you come to Denmark, you should take Taylor to my town Helsingør, it's like 30 minutes with train from where you were in Copenhagen. On the way you can even visit the famous museum Louisiana. We got castles and old Denmark vibes in the city + the famous Hamlet from Shakespeare is here. And you can take the ferry to Sweden, Helsingborg, from the harbor. It takes like 15 minutes and then you have visited Sweden aswell. Funny seeing you walk around places in Copenhagen I walk almost everyday 😂

[@xXcangjieXx]

Louisiana is honestly the best museum I’ve been to in the world.

[@TheIronSnail]

I actually went to the Louisiana! I was prob right in your hood!

[@justinyancey9571]

I wanna speak for everyone and say we love your videos Michael, but really looking forward to seeing how this romantic movie plays out... rooting for you buddy! When's the wedding?

[@TheIronSnail]

Hahaha ty so much! And hopefully one day...

[@M4xHaMpt0n]

If you plan on traveling anymore in the future, either back to Denmark, or anywhere else in the world. Then you should check out some more “travel” focused brands or articles of clothing. I would love to see you make a video and hear your take on merino wool shirts, or other technical fabrics that allow for multiple wears without needing washing, like Patagonia’s “capilene” line. Also on brands like Outlier and Wool & Prince, which make more traditional looking clothing, including chinos, “jeans”, button downs, etc… in more travel/technical oriented fabrics. I recently picked up a pair of Slim Dungarees from Outlier, which is their 5 pocket style pant, and they are phenomenal! They pack super light, look like normal canvas or cotton 5 pocket pants, but don’t hold odor and repel water really well. Just a thought having just taken a 2 week trip to the UK. I wanted to pack a lightweight and weather versatile wardrobe without sacrificing on how I typically dress (which is usually raw denim, boots, flannels and a Taylor Stitch jacket of some kind). Also your Blundstones with a good insole make great travel shoes. Cheers! Excellent video as always!

[@Marroca1n]

Bro you are a smooth operator 👍🏻

[@TheIronSnail]

HA ty!

[@NikonFM2n]

I went to saint Augustine last year for a week, here's a list of the pants I packed. One pair swim trunks, one pair of cargo shorts, one pair of 501 jeans, one pair of non wrinkle dress Khaki pants. Cheers from Miami.

[@xjoexedge]

If you are looking for great mittens look at the Vermont Golve, they make the best gloves out of goatskin. They started making gloves for Linesman and now started making gloves for winter and working. Right up your alley

[@TheIronSnail]

Oooh okay I'll check them out!

[@the3oclock]

Your videos are so good that I hit the like button before watching them.

[@TheIronSnail]

that is the nicest thing ever, tY!

[@jimlittle5769]

as always, a fantastic video. hope you have/had a great time visiting that lovely lady...and country.

[@TheIronSnail]

thank you and I did!!

[@TheBowlingDk]

I lived and bike in copenhagen my whole life, never had rain pants. Never rain more than 10 minuts, and then ur dry after 10min on the bike

[@Sqkuuul]

Thank god I've found your channel. Love the edit and the overall content you make. Keep up man, looking forward to new awesome videos! Cheers =P

[@me_ca136]

Can someone tell me about the backpack he is wearing at the beginning? 0.0 the color combined with the slightly shining straps just look amazing!

[@salemite]

The piece of advice I always give folks traveling to the PNW is something that has served me well my whole life here. Endlessly Layering. I've packed for trips sometimes where I wore every outer layer while travelling and ended up just packing a bag full of baselayers. Oh and screw the haters, don't listen to the "umbrellas are for tourists" crap you'll here folks from Oregon say. That's just cause those dingdongs don't walk a full mile in the slow rain and realize even a light rain will build up on your jacket and drip onto your pants. It's a no true scotsman gatekeep for weirdoes. Great vid, first time commenting, have a good one. :D

[@TheIronSnail]

Hey thanks so much! And yes LAYERING IS CRUCIAL!

[@missfeisty]

I live in Oregon and always have an umbrella on me when I am out walking around hahaha 😆

[@salemite]

@@missfeisty Yeah, you may not need it in the weird long mist of Oregon for a quick walk but if you are going a mile in the open you'll want it. I learned that lesson with one of my commutes for work that had about a mile walk from the MAX stop.

[@missfeisty]

@@salemite I'm also not from Oregon and I don't not like getting wet so I probably use my umbrella more than the average person hahaha

[@johnscholl6719]

This has quickly become my new favorite channel

[@TheIronSnail]

hey thanks!

[@siblilngs101]

I’m jealous! I was supposed to go last summer and see a friend but Denmark still wasn’t allowing out of country visitors!

[@siblilngs101]

Also, the bit about persevering through shoe blisters…I conquer but my girlfriend hates me complaining.

[@TheIronSnail]

oh I love whining about it

[@jayama125]

Bro, why am I crying at the end 😭. This feels like the scene from UP.

[@TheIronSnail]

HA oh dear

[@B1gD0wnH1ll]

I’m crying… I want a best friend like that!

[@TheIronSnail]

you'll get one!

[@wagz54]

This channel is the only cross over channel that is taking denim heads on a love story lol. The two of you have a bunch of dirty Jean dudes rooting for you! Also, is that a reverso? Digging the look!

[@TheIronSnail]

Bahahaha love that! and yes it is!

[@kyle_vr]

What criteria do you have for choosing a watch (or watches) for a trip? Both domestic or international.

[@user-pn8tm5eq3u]

For me, a brown leather watch strap so dark that it goes with both brown and black clothes (or a burgundy strap). That way you just need one watch, or bring a couple different NATO straps. Digital watches are most useful with alarms and time zones but if not interested in that kind, a diver for timing or GMT (though they’re more expensive) for time zones. Bring a watch you don’t mind losing. Depending on the country you visit, you could get robbed of your watch, or in some cases like Brazil don’t wear any watch at all.

[@TheIronSnail]

It depends but for the most part I want something that's simple and a little tough (just incase it rains or something). I went with the Reverso though because I wanted to have it feel like the Denmark trip!

[@Conversus]

What’s the name of the chair at 12:17?
