My Pandemic Everyday Carry (EDC) | Tools & Items That Will Be Part of My Future Travel Gear Too!

[@TripAstute]

Are you carrying anything new or interesting during these tough times? Please let me know! 🤓😷

If you wear gloves don’t drop them on the ground outside of Walmart and drive off. Throw them in the trash can they are all over the parking lot! Some poor guy making less then minimum wage has to potentially expose himself cleaning up after people.

[@TripAstute]

That's a good point! I see a lot of gloves and masks on the sidewalks as well. I don't know why people can't pick up after themselves! 😬

Thanks for sharing this info. I just purchased two virus hooks from your link. My husband and I are fortunate enough, well, to still be employed, and also able to work from home. We are actively avoiding public spaces except for exercise. Still looks like this is going to be with us for a while, so having a plan is a good idea. Ministry of Supply has one-use filters that have a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of about 95%. N95 masks are 99%. They are pricey, but then again, so is a hospital stay. I hope you, Fiona, and the people you love are staying safe and healthy. What an "interesting" time.

[@TripAstute]

Thanks PBG! We definitely feel lucky too to both be employed right now and able to mostly work from home. I'll have to check out the Ministry of Supply masks. I agree with you too -- this will likely be around for longer than we expect.

Long hair , new normal 💪🏾

[@TripAstute]

Ha! My hair is such a mess. I may have to try a self cut (or convince Fiona to cut it)! 😄

[@getsugatenshoFTW]

It's generally known that the bacteria on a phone is usually more than that of a bathroom so bluetooth earphones are definitely useful!

[@TripAstute]

Very true! 😮

[@betruetoyourself7162]

Thumbs up and I will buy the locks, thanks for the tips!

[@TripAstute]

Thanks for watching! Hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe. 😊

Gloves should only be used to prevent cross-contamination. They must be changed between tasks. Wearing a pair for hours will only increase the spread of infection. Once you take them off you must wash your hands or use hand sanitizer because ALL gloves and have micro-tears where pathogens can move through (this is why surgeons scrub their hands and arms with disinfectant prior to putting on their sterile gloves). So either way hand sanitizer should be part of your EDC.

[@TripAstute]

Great point! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@chessaraya]

Hi, thanks for the tips. Are the no-contact hooks allowed aboard planes? They’d be great with toilet door latches. If not, I guess gloves would be the best alternative.

[@TripAstute]

As long as it doesn't have a blade, it should be ok on a plane. Though I haven't tried it out yet. At the end of the day, we are still often at the mercy of the TSA official. Though I think these tools meet the requirements for air travel.

[@jacquelinechristensen9231]

Wonderful advice. Thank you much.

[@TripAstute]

Thanks Jacqueline! Glad the video was helpful. 😊

[@jamesrosenberg4288]

How about your AirPods case-case. Where can I find that? Great video!

[@TripAstute]

Thanks! I picked it up at the Apple Store: tinyurl.com/ycuxn7h7 Though it was definitely a pricey case. I like it a lot, but I don't know if I would have bought if I didn't have a gift card to spend. 😊

[@digitalnomad4535]

Found this channel late but the content is timeless thank you

[@TripAstute]

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. 😊

[@zunedog31]

Great tips, stay safe man!

[@TripAstute]

Thanks, you too! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy. 👍

[@jag2944]

Interesting tool.

[@TripAstute]

Yeah, it's been surprisingly useful! 😄

[@getsugatenshoFTW]

Using a different mic, Ernest?

[@TripAstute]

No, same mic as usual. Does it sound a bit off? It might be my recording space.

[@getsugatenshoFTW]

@@TripAstute it sounds a bit too obvious that you're recording your voice so it might be your environment

[@TripAstute]

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to see if I can improve my set-up. It's been a challenge moving the set to a garage space.

For my iPhone and AirPods, I got cases with antimicrobial properties. Speck uses MicroBan on some of their iPhone and AirPods cases. You can also find an antimicrobial screen protector from Invisible Shield/ZAGG. Keep in mind that these products haven’t been tested against COVID-19. And another important tip: having antimicrobial technology on your high touch surfaces (including your phone) does not mean you can relax your personal hygiene. You still need to wash your hands and disinfect surfaces.

[@TripAstute]

Thanks for the tip! I need to check out some of these antimicrobial cases and screen protectors. 👍

[@lalew2]

so the hook puts virus in his back pocket?

[@TripAstute]

Yes. Maybe I'm crazy, but I prefer that my pocket be contaminated over my elbows or hands.

STOP LIVING IN FEAR

live your life, sir.
