What’s your go-to tiny travel accessory? 🧳🤔🎒

[@benturner8055]

A victorinox rambler!

[@meisjeViv]

I found the nicest flat-storing nail clipper from a brand called Munkees, I carry it with me always and it's so convenient!

[@jestrommen]

Multitool I bring: Leatherman Squirt PS4 and a Victorinox Swiss card.

[@lwolf2006]

James Brand Elko pocket knife. The top has a prytool integrated into the keyring loop.

[@npigwnl]

Victorinox Swiss Card!

[@excessorizeme]

Just buy a whole bunch of Nite Ize S-Biners and you'll start to find things to securely clip into you didn't think you needed to.

[@randompizza220]

I found the Joby tripod from your channel. I use it with my phone to take pictures for work documents. 👍

[@laniemon]

Bought the nite ize keyrack. Things went downhill fast after that lol.

[@originalzo6091]

Funny meeting you here 😆

[@donquique1]

I use the shiners since 2017 for backpack security in Europe.

[@Cavush]

The topo designs pouch can be a nice minimalist wallet as well.

[@PackHacker]

Great shout! Thanks for sharing, Cavush! - Austin

[@johnnybravo4012]

Exactly why I came to this post after seeing it in the video preview cuz that’s what I’m gonna use it for

[@kingsclownvideos]

Very helpful. Thank You. My must have tiny travel gear is Safety Pins.

[@PackHacker]

Great shout! Thanks for sharing, Lloyd! - Austin

[@whenhen]

That fork looks ridiculously uncomfortable to eat from. I'm going to stick with my Walmart camping spork which has a relatively normal fork on one side and a spoon on the other, and cost about $1 USD.

[@helvettefaensatan]

There is no spoon.

[@llamalama_ded7163]

Im planning to travel once i turn 18 and finally have enough money saved. I travelled with my family before, and ur videos are sooo good dude. Keep it up!

[@PackHacker]

That's awesome! You'll be an expert by the time you do your first solo trip! - Austin

[@susie9893]

I wish I'd traveled more when I was younger. Do you KNOW the things you can get for free or significantly discounted if you're under 26??

[@bradfoster1864]

I would definitely recommend the Gerber Shard. I’ve carried it on my keys for several years and always comes in handy.

[@enriquediaz7547]

Utility knife without the blade such as the sidewinder or similar. Also, a Skeletool PS & Niteize Quickties. Finally, a Lever Bitvault.

[@Christopher-today]

I have a scary number of these… especially (but not limited to) the tools as I’ve searched for the perfect one. Nice roundup. :)

[@PackHacker]

Glad you think so! - Austin

[@criznitty]

It’s funny that you think you’d never own all this stuff, next thing you know, you have a lot of them 😂

[@Christopher-today]

@@criznitty That is very, very true. The dumbest part is I actually try to be very specific about what I choose in all areas and yet sometimes I slip and let this product creep still happen. It’s a challenge.

[@A3r10k]

Rolling square also makes the incharge xmax that covers all cable possibilities except usbMicro to usbMicro and comes with a 5 foot 100watt cable for rapid charging with a usbC wall adapter

[@lovehatewait8]

Yassssss! Finally minisss! Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PackHacker]

You're welcome! Thanks for the support! - Austin

[@lndtbs]

There’s a thinner version of the Cold4ged Forkanife called Forkanife Sport, it also sports a better knife.

[@PackHacker]

Hey there! We chose this set because the knife is designed to meet TSA standards, but the sport version seems great for everything else. Thanks for the comment! - Austin

[@lndtbs]

@@PackHacker I figured as much, I just wanted to point it out for people looking for something to keep in their bag for every day carry. You might like the Lever Gear CableKit btw, i think it’s smaller than the chargers you’re carrying and comes with adapters for both USB C/Lightning.

[@GauravYadav-qe3hn]

Nite ize s biners are very helpful

[@PackHacker]

Agreed! Thanks for sharing, Gaurav! - Austin

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for another great video. I love my wind shirt and wind pants. The shirt is 3oz and the pants are 4oz, and my Six Moons Design Gatewood Cape 11oz. They pack so small that they go everywhere with me and double as a travel pillow because the pants and shirt will also fit into the integrated pocket of the rain poncho. They are not the most stylish but when caught in an afternoon rain shower it is nice to be dry and warm. I did not put down the brands because both of the clothes have been discontinued but just search wind layer and you will see lots of options. Purchasing used or thrift items has always been a very useful travel hack for me especially for cruise ship port towns. Thank you for another great video. Safe travels.

[@PackHacker]

Great comment Anita - thanks for sharing! - Tom

[@33Jenesis]

I bring a pvc coated multi strand stainless steel cable with a loop in each end (and a code lockable carabiner). I can tether two carry-on luggage pieces together, link 2 or 3 zippers on one luggage, or secure my wallet inside my handbag (won’t drop it or have it snatched when out of handbag). My short stainless steel chopsticks and ti spork are always my go-to for eating leftover or supermarket bought meals. Also for cup of noodles I have to have chopsticks. A foldable ripstop reusable large size grocery bag is always in my handbag. I buy grocery to cook in my lodging therefore having a strong reliable nylon bag is super handy.

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for sharing some of your loadout with us, Jen! - Austin

[@Grayson_Baker]

The S-biner lock is okay. Even locked items can still get loose.

[@Jon_Ringo]

I always carry a USB C to Lightning adapter, since most battery banks are coming with USB C cables for charging the battery. This way, I don't have to bring a second cable to charge my iPhone and I just put the adapter in the pouch with the battery and cable. I picked up a 3 pack off of amazon for $5.

[@Sideband]

I'd recommend the LeverGear CableKit as an alternative for the Rolling Square cables. Roughly the same size, but it packs into a small plastic keychain, has an adapter in it (Cord is USB-A to Micro USB or Lightning, with an adapter for each, and a USB C adapter), plus a SIM tool and SIM tray inside. Same caveats as the Rolling Square (too short to use as the only cable, not flexible so no wall outlet charging) but a bit more practical overall.

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for sharing! - Austin

[@susie9893]

Thanks for the tip. Looks great. I'll certainly be looking into it more. Addit: seeing lots reviews about the case breaking within a week so obviously this 1 needs work. Great idea though and 1 to watch

[@MindMadeThis]

The 6 in 1 charger has been so clutch for my travels so far, it is a must have for me now

[@PackHacker]

🤜💥🤛

[@konradxtofik]

I try to take a Victorinox Classic Card with me on my travels. I just need to remove the blade and leave it at home. The Victorinox Cards are small, they’d fit into a wallet and are packed with a variety of tools, such as tweezers, scissors and a nail file.

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for sharing 😃 -Eric

[@smiledentgal]

I'm using the s biner to lock zippers on backpack while travel.

[@MiSa-of7kt]

Can you tell me the model of your watch, or whatever you are wearing on your wrist?

[@jasonwardofficial]

Although not a branded item, UL and multipurpose travel accessories are great and won't cost much. Repair kits of fish line and safety pins can be used for quick repairs of clothing and gear as well as an improvised clothesline, in a pinch. Wrapping a shortened pencil in quality duct ("100 mph") tape can also serve to cover a fabric rip, provide short-term relief for a blister, waterproofing, covering an annoying light or camera lens, and so much more. Coffee filters and a rubberband to make your own coffee dunks, a water prefilter, and more. So many things around the house cost pennies to nothing and can accomplish the same tasks. Repurposing those mylar post office envelopes to make a custom-sized pouch by burning new seams in or using tape, etc. Use straws to hold medicines, condiments, and more. Always travel with a small pouch of repair items that weigh little to nothing. It may not have a fancy brand name but it gets the job done. Learned a great deal of tricks and tips while ul traveling. Reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle, relax.

[@CarsonRH]

Medicine in a straw is a great way to be pulled out of line and asked a number of pointed questions. Additionally, prescriptions must be in a prescription bottle in most areas.

[@jasonward808]

@@CarsonRH so far so good! Never had that happen.

[@Christopher-today]

If you’re willing to give up a bit of portability (this one’s longer) I prefer the Luxtude 5000mAh battery. Same features but a bit more juice and that juice goes a long way on extended hikes, etc where you’re away from a more robust charger or wall outlets. Regarding the InCharge cable, unless you’re a single cable end type of user the again slightly bigger & heavier InCharge 6 is so much more practical imo. It’s more robust, can connect everything and the magnets are much stronger. I’ve lost 2 minis and yes it’s my fault for not paying enough attention when I pull my keys out of my pocket or sling but really should I need to worry about such things, that’s rhetorical because of course I should not have too.

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for sharing, Christopher! - Austin

[@A3r10k]

Rolling square incharge 6 is a better choice as it can handle usbA to usbC, usbC to usbC, usbA to lightning and usbC to lightning... but if you look close the lightning end doubles as a usbMicro as well...there is a slit in the middle of the lightning adaptor that you simply need to be sure the lightning adapter goes over the usbMicro “tip” inside a usbMicro port,one cable that goes on your keychain handles every possibility except usbMicro to usbMicro

[@susie9893]

Can anyone suggest a low profile dry bag that actually WORKS as a proper dry bag? I own 1 myself of course but I think it's far too heavy and bulky to justify room in my bag (I like to use them not only for washing or carrying wet stuff but to also store any laundry I don't have time to wash but needs to be stored in my bag till then so it doesn't stink up my bag, likewise with dirty shoes)

[@enriquediaz7547]

Seatosummit dry bag works well. Or heavy duty ziplock. There’s also seatosummit collapsible “sink”

Some cool things here but have to say the Gerber Gear Shard is a turd. It's shape is horrible making it awkward to keep anywhere. I also carried it for 2 years in my pocket. The only thing it was good at was creating holes in said pockets.
