[@gormygorm]

That bag opens into a fucking black hole!

[@dubariyajignesh786]

[@giladtselniker8420]

[@ItzRetz]

+npsantini I have a feeling that if you put a magnetic parts tray in the same bag with all these other electronics, you might fuck something up. Magnets don't agree with computers.

[@austinlowery3176]

+Retz The magnetic tray doesnt have a strong enough magnet to harm any electronics.

[@ItzRetz]

***** All right, that's good to know. Is it all right if I put my welding magnet in the bag too? The magnet in there isn't too strong. It can only hold like a 15kg peice of metal. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@harrygrammer3112]

This video should actually be called "Linus pulls random shit out of a bag."

[@Neeraj-ew5os]

I agree

[@manuelquerimit993]

the bag is meant for onsite work, what he has is actually cool, he would be able to fix a computer from the jurassic era with the stuff he is always carrying around, of course only actual technicians would know that

[@gunningamerz]

I used to carry around so much crap...then I got smart and made the customer bring the computer to my shop/home. Best thing I ever did.

[@Berelore]

Did I just miss it or do you not carry a flashlight?

[@CowTipper898]

Smartphones have flashlights :P

[@Berelore]

CowTipper989 They really don't.

[@RealRaynedance]

Berelore Any phone with a flash can be used as a flashlight.

[@Berelore]

DeltaPhi79 You missed the point entirely. While everyone knows you can use your phone for light in various ways; none of them really compare to an actual dedicated flashlight in form or function.

[@beanacomputer]

Berelore There's also the fact that some phones don't have flash...

[@EPICMANisEPIC1]

i feel bad that he had to put ALL of that back in the bag

[@iamawesome6959]

i started wtfing at the router part

[@kamally]

This reminds me of poeple in my school that have huge backpacks and look like they have a entire full tower PC on their back

[@CowTipper898]

The router is one of the few things I understand, hotel wifi sucks but some have their own Ethernet ports in each room.

[@IngwiePhoenix]

Near my location you can drive an hour and find areas with no cell network. You can get really bad satellite and copper internet and just plug in to the modem.

[@CPLBSS88]

Items I have in my kit that you did not mention; Flashlight (with headband for turning it into a headlight), knife/multitool, lighter (several-bic), electrician scissors, Linesman pliers, side cutters, mini flush-cut side cutters, revers-open tweezers, angled blunt tip ESD proof tweezers, straight fine-tip tweezers, slip-joint pliers, butane soldering iron with respective accouterments, innards of cat5e cable (several short pieces for use as jumpers, etc...), heat shrink tube, voltage detector (not the same thing as a multimeter!), spare VGA, HDMI, and DVI cables, spare PC 3-prong power cable, velvro cable ties, zip ties of assorted sizes, double-sided velcro tape, a network cable tester (two piece model for testing longer runs), tone probe, extra rj45 ends and crimper, punch-down tool, various console cable, Ethernet loopback plug, crossover cable, Ethernet couplers, a GB 6-port Ethernet switch(I saw you mention the router, I prefer just carry one of these cheep dumb switches because no config is nice when you are stressed and in a hury!), DUCT TAPE(Gorilla brand), black and silver sharpie, small zip-lock baggies for holding parts/screws, a few salvaged hdd magnets (for holding screws), pens&pad of paper, and a laser thermometer... i think that is about it, this in addition to many of the things you already mentioned. By far my most used item day to day is my flashlight, cant believe you did not mention that!? ...or am i just blind/deaf lol. Something to keep in mine is that I am a Desktop and network support tech so I would expect my kit to be a bit more complete than a hobbyist, just figured i'd list it out to help others.

[@amethystcash3677]

GraymanTactics he has a flashlight in his phone right ? But the headband yeah I agree but it is a bit less common to need a headlight than most of the other stuff he said tbh.

[@jamesrussell2936]

+James Russell that should be on your person at all time, instead of in a bag... I know I wear mine...

falling down while you need to put it in your mouth while you hold something with both hands... and crack the screen... and the warranty is void because your spit counts as water damage... that's why you go flashlight...

[@metaleggman18]

+Mishotaki well if I was going to have a bit bag like that, I'd have my edc knife and flashlight on my person, but I'd probably have something more powerful or with a longer battery life in my bag.

+Ingwie Phoenix I dont know about Linus. But in the military i kinda learned how to fit a whole house in my bagpack!

[@Gege547]

From my experiences: - Mini flashlight is a must (AA ones because you have spare batteries for that), - Sharp knife, - crimpling tool or small hammer for BNC and coaxial connectors, - pre assembled short coaxial cable - Sandwich or aluminum foil for shielding repair (yes the sandwich is supposed to be warped in aluminum foil in this case), - safety gloves (the tighter ones to protect you hands form sharp edges) - bandage because you will cut yourself despite from the gloves - And a cut proof (non static) forearm protector - Spare screws for motherboard, cases and coolers

[@IRNatman]

***** I thought about that, but phones can't match the power of a good flashlight.

[@grant1726]

***** Your breath carries moisture as well. So when you blow on a computer component sometimes it can cause some moisture on the component. Not so great.

Added to the video: pressured air, soldering iron + stuff accompanying it, electrician's tape and kapton tape, brush, extra screws, flashlight, some wires, paper clips, a magnet, spray for screen cleaning, multimeter clamps (together with regular DMM), Orange Pi with VGA to HDMI adapter If I would have, I would also carry: handheld oscilloscope, handheld lab power supply

[@SamWard_linux]

that's pretty complete. i also tend to use a headlamp quite often as well as a magnifying glass, since i have poor vision.

[@thelol1759]

Same. It looks funky when you go to put it on, but it makes the build and repair process so much easier.

[@charles5518]

What a great idea, I can't believe I never thought of that before.

[@sinbad269]

1. Compressed air can. Mine's nearly empty, but it has come in handy before. 2. A few different OS Install USB's. I carry a Windows 8.1, Windows 7, and Ubuntu. 3. I also have Hiren's BootCD on a USB, which has saved more than a few HDD's full of data before. 4. Also carry a spare VGA cable and HDMI cable. These have both saved me more than once. Another couple - not related to tech - is antiperspirant deodorant, and baby wipes. If you haven't used baby wipes to wipe up after a toilet break, you're missing out. Aside from that, you've covered every base [and more!] that I have. I wouldn't carry a laptop AND tablet, unless I was visiting somewhere where I was staying overnight [like relatives for example], but one or the other is very handy [Surface Pro 3 perhaps?] But nicely done! A lot of people ask why my bag's so heavy, and this is the reason!

[@sinbad269]

Yea, I'd forgotten there were convertible's

[@Lodreus]

ah real handy that Hiren's BootCD

[@Lehi0001]

Yumi bro... Yumi... You can set thumb drives (8 gig for just the OS, or 16 to add Diags) to boot from anything that uses Grub to boot, you can install all versions of windows ( some have to be virtualized), and they take up far less space than multiple portable hard drives. One portable, 750 Gb to 1 Tb would be enough to carry any off the wall drivers, utilities, or backup storage that you would need.... unless you're dealing with data centers, but hopefully you would be fore-warned of said situation...

[@markomus1]

Chiming in WAY too many years after this was made, but to be honest, I had all the following tools in my box back then and I still have them now: * PSU tester - invaluable for quickly assessing the state of a failing PSU * GFCI tester - testing fundamental power issues * Phone jack tester - not as useful anymore, but if someone is having problems with DSL (well...first recommend switching, of course), you can quickly determine if the line is switched * Small mechanic's mirror - handy when having to see something that's juuuuuust outside your range of view. If only you had a little mirror! * Pen-sized extension with magnet on tip - mechanics use it, mostly. These days light magnetic fields aren't as much of an issue * Bubble level * Network cable tester * Small hammer/hobby hammer - percussive maintenance * Optical drive head cleaner * Small box cutting knife/hobby knife * SATA/PATA -> USB adapter * Crimping tool * Crossover adapter * CAT5e and CAT6 terminators * A few blank optical discs of various flavors * USB drive with SystemRescueCD or something of that stripe (or multiple) * Optical discs with ~ahem~ pen testing software * Optical discs with freely distributed operating systems * Ethernet cable joiner (and telephone wire joiner--again, not as handy as it once was) Everything else you listed I either have or have the equivalent or I'm going to add. Really love your channel! Keep up the good work!

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Enjoyed watching the video, there's a few things I'd personally add to but it's by no means complete. I believe in travelling lightweight as possible with devices that are as multifunction as possible.. Personal additions that would come to mind - an extensive bag of adapters - a switchable laptop supply with multiple ranges / adapters - memory card reader hub (ubs) for CF, XD, SD, MicroSD, etc - Torch! - Cable puller kit - Networking gear (cable strippers, connectors, butts, etc) I hope those are ones you find useful. The knowledge behind the kit is what makes it, generally everyone has their own choice but I enjoy watching the videos to develop my own and perfect it in my own way. As always love your videos

[@cad5359]

You could use a few more things, Linus: A couple of stock AMD and Intel heatsinks, just in case of overheating problems A keyboard A very small monitor, like 9 inch one, never know A small vacuum for PC dust removal A copy of all of the Windows OSes since Windows 95 A copy of Ubuntu LTS A copy of DBAN

Derek Lechner It was his online moniker for forums, games, etc.

[@energymaster22]

Throughout the entire video I was wondering "what are you gonna pull out of your TARDIS bag next Linus?" XD

[@TheMuugly]

insert obligitory pop culture reference here

[@wesmurrell7430]

Your collection of tools arouses me.

[@jacksonowens4092]

I've carried that model Ogio Backpack everyday for 12 years. Since I was 11 years old. It is one of the most excellent, durable tech bags i've ever owned in a standard backpack form factor.

[@joemama945]

what model of Ogio bag is it?

[@quinten157]

"for taking stuff apart the don't want you to take apart" :-)

[@SSJHF]

As stated many times by your other commentators: where is the torch?

[@kylemackinnon4153]

His phone would have a torch?

[@SSJHF]

indeed sir, you are right.

[@DavidZucaro]

Alex Armstrong I love having a head torch though. As sometimes you cant get your phone on the right angle to see.

[@darrenzweigle4446]

Alex Armstrong torch is a light lol

[@tynewlin]

Too flammable? lol Sorry, couldn't resist :D

[@Kripthmaul]

Youll love the screw driver you make in 9 years. Keep up the good work!

[@1981chrisjones]

I carry most of that kit also, however you might also want to consider the following: - RJ45 / RJ11 Crimps (with spare ends) - 8 RAM Sticks (1 of each variation [STD + SO-DIMM]) - Compressed Air Can (unless you carry a compressor in your boot like I'm going to) - PSU Tester (faster reading than multimeter) - 3 Video Cards (1xPCI, 1xPCI-e 1xAGP) - Dremel or equivalent for cutting slots in screws the customer F****d up - Small Soldier Kit (inc. heat-shrink) to fix ghetto customer mods to cables - Preferred Cleaner and Microfibre Cloth (so you can remove all the kids fingerprints off the screen) I'm sure there is stuff I've missed but I am not about to go through my kit and inventory it :)

[@Steveddie93]

This is where the inspiration for the LTT screwdriver originally came from. Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver.

[@Whatastic]

a play boy mouse pad, LOL!

[@theautisticgamer1860]

you should put togetber all of this stuff and sell it yourself as a linus tech tool kit id buy it

[@reddaB]

+TheAutisticGamer same

[@ferdinandmunoz3731]

Toner, hdmi cables, dvi to dvi cable, vga to vga cable, display port to display port cable, extra ram, rj45 crimper, coaxial stripper, coaxial crimper & rj45 tips along with rj11 tips & a punch down tool. these are all small items you can carry with you.

[@ZenoidHQ]

The time has come, the algorithm has found you.

[@Yhigma]

Seems totally unnecessary to have the iPad AND the laptop.

[@nxedgescanners7864]

Well i do agree that it is Totally unnecessary to have an ipad (jk...jk), but tablets on the other hand are very useful when combined with a laptop, especially when you are working in an area you are going to need to be moving around a lot, the laptop acts as home base and the tablet (with low storage space) via RPD can access whatever you need, not to mention looking for dead spots in wireless, quick skype sessions to show your boss/client damaged equipment... etc...

[@fox091]

You also need a pocket knife, flashlight, Punchdown/crimp tool for ethernet cables, spare power cables, spare screws, and a plethora of software/tools.

[@WareWolf801]

Spare PCIe vid card. Spare DDR2, DDR3, and SO-DIMM DDR3 memory. "Fox and hound" network tester. USB monitor. Pocket knife. Small channel-locking pliers. Phone/tablet stand. Display port to HDMI adapter. HDMI cable. Display port cable. POWERED hdd case with USB. Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, breathe mints.

[@i3130002]

I really suggest to check what you are going to do and pack a small bag to not only carry a light weight one, but also have easier unbaging when you need something from the bottom of the bag

[@walkerbell2817]

have fun putting that all back in the bag

[@brandenlucero]

"playboy. never know when frustration occurs, and a quick read during your work break will ensure that you'll never have to be frustrated again."

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

Knife, heat shrink, cable continuity tester, crimps (and double sided female crimp/clamp thingies, I forget what they are called), real film gaff (I find it hold up better than electricians tape in high heat areas and it sticks to EVERYTHING) and a myriad of RCA 3.5 and 1/4 jacks/adapters. Those things come in so very handy

[@mbl2012]

I carry around a clean, soft bristle, makeup brush with a can of compressed air. Every time I open a pc, it gets a quick dusting because I know nobody ever dusts their pc.

[@PCalive123]

your backpack is worth more than my house

[@minigunuser25]

Damn. My little box is insignificant now

[@ClarkyAv]

7:10 "I'm not really good at tools" *laughs in LTT screwdriver*

[@ghammer9773]

2 parter here 1: Which tips do you prefer for your DMM leads? are you a small pointy guy or do you prefer something large enough to hang off a molex or ATX header? 2: have you considered using a molle or similar bag for better organization?

[@iDerekMC]

15 mins to unload ur backpack... xDD

[@MrPruske]

that's when you know you did it right. (takes 5 minutes to empty all pockets)

[@mikemancuso6108]

Now just think of how long it must have taken to get everything back into the bag

[@MrPruske]

37 seconds. no talking needed. everything is labeled probably lol

[@mikemancuso6108]

it depends on what kind of work you are doing

[@meh123987]

***** I wanna do that when I'm a bit older. I'm 14 and I do quite a lot of local tech repair...any tips or anything you could give me? I've built computers etc as well.

[@Maxaker]

You need an MRE.

[@thesteelrodent1796]

8 years later, and Linus still carries that same screwdriver around everywhere he goes

[@wlarue]

Maybe I missed it, but IFixit makes a white magnetic pad to place screws, etc on that can be written on with a Staedler whiteboard pen. Great for keeping track of screws, and identifying that extra screw that is invariably left over when you put things back together. Their bit sets have black magnetic lids that so much the same thing, but you can't write on them.
