Loved making this one, I hope you all enjoyed it! Links to all of the items mentioned are in the description for anyone interested. What's your bag of choice these days? Let me know! 👇👇

[@cmj8777]

bro wallpaper on your iPhone x pls

[@Azz-M]

Wow the color grade is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joshfenn]

Thank you! Been working hard on my colors lately. :)

[@basithrashard5153]

How it cost for all?

[@elisha_kl]

The biggest misconception of minimalism is that it comes down to the number of items you have. It's NOT about that. It's having things in your life that have purpose, you get value from and trying to reduce the unnecessary clutter in your life. You can have 100 books or 10 books in your bookshelf and STILL be considered a minimalist, just as long as your find purpose and joy from it. Minimalism is different for everyone and besides, if you're travelling with technology of course you're going to want to bring your charger and things that would make your life easier. Yes, that makes the number of your items seem like a lot but it's not like you're carrying a bunch of random items from your kitchen drawer if you have no use from them.. Really like the style of your video! Keep it up :)

[@joshfenn]

I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this, and for the support! I couldn’t agree more though, minimalism to me is more about removing stress and excess from my life when and where I can instead of just removing as many items as possible. I don’t really consider myself a minimalist but tend to prefer a more minimal lifestyle, I was a bit disappointed to see so much negativity in the community around here, the support means a lot. :)

[@SolomonCrawford]

Facts people love to tell you what Minimalism is.

[@adamfoster3467]

Carrying a notebook with 2 pens and a kindle when your phone can do all of those things is not minimalist...

[@joshfenn]

+Adam Foster I often use my phone as a monitor as I mentioned in the video and often write/need notes while I’m filming and using that monitor. I also have trouble reading long form (1 hour plus) on my phone without severe eye strain and headaches and opted for the e-ink kindle screen instead a few years ago. Granted, I probably don’t need a backup pen so I’ll give you that one. We should all be promoting a lifestyle we all believe in with positivity and inclusion, not negativity, judgement, and gatekeeping.

[@marioparty17]

@Daniel Villanova no it make you a huge bitch

[@keepproductive]

Such an underrated channel! Love all of your health tips! Francesco @ Keep Productive

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support, I appreciate it! :)

[@nghiaphamviet9280]

I never get tired of watching this video. I've watched it hundreds of times in the last two years. Thank you so much Josh! ✌🏻

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@phantomtheshooter]

Love this video! It has inspired me to put together a tech-EDC myself! Thanks for the great video and motivation.

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@zorrilnz]

Cat is so cute! I use the Dakine Mission Pro as my backpack.... Absolutely love it, and it's so small that I'm forced to not end up lugging around junk I never end up using!

[@joshfenn]

Thank you! I’m an embarrassingly proud cat dad, haha. Just looked up the mission bag, it looks great! The smaller size is probably nice like you mentioned, I have been really enjoying the Aer bag for the same reason. My bag I was using last year was almost double the size, definitely got out of hand. Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@graemethelaw]

Love the video, man. Came for the fat loss, stayed for the beautifully shot vlogs on cool stuff.

[@joshfenn]

Haha, I love it! That’s always the response I hope for with the channel. I love working on all of the visuals, the more and more I dive into videography the more obsessed I get. :)

[@Shaunte81]

Awesome video. I’m currently trying to downsize my tech bag. Thank you for this left handed pen recommendation!

[@joshfenn]

No problem, so happy to hear from so many lefty's! That pen is awesome. :)

[@GrimmyX]

i enjoyed your video and I got a good idea for my tech bag. I am now adding a re-useable shopping bag. A simple idea I never thought of that sounded so brilliant when I heard you say it.

[@joshfenn]

It comes in handy all the time! Great for groceries and overflow storage, especially being on foot. Thanks for the support!

[@ATrainToAfrica]

I instantly subbed when you spoke about your pen and being left handed.

[@joshfenn]

We've gotta stick together! Those pens are amazing though, nice and inky without all the smudging. :)

[@HarshKalra490]

Lefties of the world unite!!

[@bisquits8175]

I can both

[@RisReverie]

This is very enjoyable to watch. I love the details and the cat too. It seems everything fits together. It’s amusing to see that the cat is camouflaging with everything you have. 😺😺😻

[@joshfenn]

Appreciate the support! Totally agree with you on my cat Wolfie 😻

[@jankarlsson8341]

Great video, your thermos, waterbottle and camera insert I'll definitely pick up!

[@joshfenn]

3 of my favorite things! Can't speak highly enough about the hydroflask and thermos, they both work so well for me.

[@x2jackk278]

Loved watching this video it was my first video that I watched from your channel I was excited to hear that pen because I’m a lefty too I am subscribing right now!

[@joshfenn]

That pen is so great! First ‘nice’ looking thick ink that hasn’t smudged all over the place, haha. Thanks so much for the support though, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ScottBickhaus]

Great overview of your daily carry. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshfenn]

Of course, thanks so much for watching and supporting!

[@graytshirt]

I love the look of this pack, I'm torn between this and the Evergoods CPL24 for my work/tech pack. I know they're two very different bags as far as aesthetics, but they both appeal to me.

[@joshfenn]

Just checked out that Evergoods bag, that looks great too! Good luck with your decision, I'm sure it'll be great either way 👍

[@Mia-wh9gd]

Thankfully I happen to stumble across your channel & upon watching this video did I become a newbie. Thx for placing these awesome items in description, they’ll be great holiday stocking stuffers & don’t let those Portlanders nudge you on that card holder lol. Terrific review & again, glad I found you. Enjoy your day 😊

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support, glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Plenty of good ideas in there for stocking stuffers. :) Have a great day as well!

[@hscott1022]

Loved this video and your aesthetic. I knew I was going to sub as soon as I heard your sound track. Double bonus when I discovered you deal with weight and health as well

[@joshfenn]

That's so awesome to hear, glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the support!

[@GentlemenPremiumReview]

What a great EDC. It is so important to have everything in pack. I am also doing my EDC video. Great editing. Subscribed.

[@joshfenn]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, thanks for the support!

[@OGUKooper]

So what is the specs on the cat?

[@joshfenn]

hahaha :)

[@castrophicg23]

No but seriously. The specs

[@lukefitt56]

Yeah and could you also put a link for the cat too? I may want to pick one up

[@joshfenn]

He’s one of a kind and not for sale! 😂😻

[@daviddavid3621]

Gtx 1070 max q I7 8th generation 16gb ram

[@JadenAccord]

Came into this video thinking "that's quite a lot of items for a minimalist EDC" but now I see that it really are just essentials, nothing unnecessary

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support! Happy to say I’m no longer working exclusively out of my backpack so I was able to lower my bag weight and items significantly, feels great!

[@yourdadd3558]

That's Some Very Good Stuff, You Have There!

[@joshfenn]

Thanks for the support!

[@abhishekdas2637]

Convinced me to get this last week. Loving it even though form factor is a bit boxy.

[@joshfenn]

Glad you're enjoying it! I kind of like the boxiness myself, I almost wish it had a bit more structure on the outside fabric, but I've been really happy with it over this past year.

[@CarlosAcunafitne]

Dude! I really enjoyed this! I've been following you now for a good while. I won't lie i dont catch every episode but I really enjoy your editing and transitions. Also, I would love if you could do a review of your new macbook. I have the same one but the smaller screen version. I found that my space bar will get jammed on occasion....sucks! But yeah hope you make that review video I'd be looking forward to an in depth review since I'm not that "techy" inclined lol. But yeah man, keep grinding and inspiring 😁

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support! A few other people mentioned they’d like to see a review too, I’ll have to start thinking on it during my testing. :) haven’t had any issues with the space bar so far but I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. It’s been a beast so far though, it’s handled everything I can throw at it. Feels so good after using the 2012 mbp for so long.

[@CarlosAcunafitne]

Nice! Im not to tech literate. But, I have enjoyed it as well. Awesome, looking forward to it man!

[@davidvolsky7713]

Those Zojirushi bottles are the best coffee commuter mugs on the market, at least for the money. I've dropped mine a few times on a sidewalk or parking lot; it has some light scratches from the concrete, but no dings. Every other brand of bottle I've had has dented with the first drop, even on a hardwood floor.

[@joshfenn]

I love my zojirushi so much, still use it every day at home too! Should last a lifetime 👍

[@calebpopplewell1747]

This dude is SO underrated

[@joshfenn]

Appreciate you watching and supporting!

[@calebpopplewell1747]

Hey man its true!!

[@JDR810]

WOW. I have been waiting to see the 2018 macbook pro find its way into your gear bag. I see why I like your videos so much. You and I are a lot alike. I have the Amazon basic camera/laptop bag and I seriously have my macbook pro, canon T5i, 3 lens and filters, my power bank, my drone with 3 batteries, my thieye T5e action cam and all accessories all in the bag and I strap my Amazon basic aluminum tripod on the side. My wife is like how do you put so much in that bag and not fall over. I would love to see your review on your macbook pro. I already know it blows my 2018 13" outta the water. Maybe the next one I will need to step up to the big boy. Have a great weekend Josh.

[@joshfenn]

I just couldn't take that old 2012 any longer with that A7III footage, it was getting so painful. Had my old apple card from when I got my last one though and used some interest free financing to get it. Spreading out the crazy cost definitely helps ease the blow. :) Haha, got those same comments from my wife too! This is my usual day carry but I've got a few other things that add into this too depending on my day, can get so heavy! This bag holds the weight really well though, much better than my old timbuk2. I'll keep it in mind that you'd be interested in a review, if I can come up with enough to talk about I'll be sure to make a video on it!

[@thanehtike]

I like your color scheme. My bag of choice is the Aer Duffel Pack and yes all my tech, toys, gadgets inside are black...

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much! Really happy with how everything came out in this one. Love my Aer bag, seriously the best quality bag I've ever owned. I'll have to keep my eye out for that duffel!

[@toddbarraza3433]

I love the design and gear. I want the timbuk2 commuter back pack it ts my choice of style. But wow wow seems a lot of stuff to carry for minimal.

[@joshfenn]

Timbuk2 is great! I used and loved one of their bags for quite a while before switching to this one. Definitely was more than I wanted to carry, I've since started working from home though so I no longer need to bring my studio with me in my bag thankfully. Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@petluv214]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@L3GITFIXIE]

wow so much negativity in the comments, ya maybe its not super crazy minimal but it has his essentials? People are getting heated lol

[@joshfenn]

I know, right?! I probably could have done a better job of explaining what I use the bag for and a bit more on my work/schedule, but I didn't expect so much. Appreciate the support around here though, thank you for watching! :)

[@littlebill3419]

Kyle you’re pretty sensitive if you think this is “negative”

[@jmsmith1767]

Some awesome gear, and some real food for thought. My work backpack is just too heavy. I’m a teacher in NYC so I have my laptop, iPad and everything else I feel is necessary but just feels too heavy. Think I’ll review what’s in my bag using yours as a blueprint. Cheers - J

[@joshfenn]

I totally understand that, my bag is probably too heavy now but it used to be even worse before I really started to lighten things up. All of the little things really add up in weight too, something to keep in mind while you're reworking your bag 👍

[@marylinsadventures1677]

Really nice setup.. thank you

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support, glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidross9337]

thx, very helpful ideas that i can use my self

[@joshfenn]

Glad to hear it!

[@lordallainsestoso9320]

Wow! So cool man, I hope someday I will be have all of that

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support! Definitely would recommend everything I have in there if it’s something useful for your day to day, but don’t forget to appreciate whatever you have right now! :)

[@EddieA329]

Love the vid from a fellow member from the PDX fam

[@joshfenn]

Love it! Thanks so much for the support

[@SohamBhattacharya]

Minimalism is about having only things which are very necessary for you, owning just one thing won't make you minimal but if that one thing is all you need then you are definitely a minimalist.

[@joshfenn]

Very well said!

[@Miamis4me305]

zojiirushi rocks. I carry one daily with my coffee. awesome video and great items from the bag to everything in it.I just updated from 2012 MacBook pro to 2017 13 MacBook air. I really don't need more and now I'm looking for a new bag. Aer is making great bags but looking at Ridge commuter backpack as well as Qwstion simple office. Decisions decisions.

[@joshfenn]

I’ve heard great things about Qwstion too! That Zojurishi has held up so well for me also, glad you’re enjoying yours. Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@janchristiannasayao9241]

I love all of your stuff specialy the colors. So insipiring for me. Thank you

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!

[@janchristiannasayao9241]

Iam now one of your subscriber because of that stuff man. Hope to see more in the future. Btw, im fanboy from philippines 😀

[@joshfenn]

So awesome, definitely will have more like this in the future! :)

[@janchristiannasayao9241]

That aer bag man, thats pretty awesome, when Iam planning to have that one and boom, that so expensive in here 😂 cant afford

[@Youknowthebo]

Cool video! Keep up the good work!

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support, glad you enjoyed it!

[@PhylumFile]

Great review! Minimal too- I work on a computer al day too and if I didn’t have a fixed office I’d be hard-pressed to pare it down to your level. I have a Zorurishi 12 oz thermos in black. It is amazing- it’s kept ice solid in my car for two days during the summer. Anywho I just bought an eBags Pro Sim Jr and am liking it. Any clue how this compares in size? Thanks again for quality content

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the review! Nice to hear from another mobile professional here too, I've gotten quite a few comments saying this is way too much. If only they knew this was basically an entire production studio for me, haha. I wasn't familiar with the pro slim jr but I looked it up, it's a similar liter capacity but the tech pack seems a tad larger. The pro slim looked great too though, thanks again for the support!

[@deeepakraj9018]

Review the i9 MacBook with all day battery status !!! Please As i m also a commuter looking to for i9 MacBook ....

[@joshfenn]

Excellent! I've gotten quite a few comments requesting as well, I've got some more testing but should be able to have a video ready in a month or two. Thanks for the support!

[@LtBdoesStuff]

You could save room in the bag by putting your phone and your wallet in your pockets. It also makes them easier to access of someone rings you, or you need to pay for something.

[@joshfenn]

Definitely a good move if you needed the extra space! I usually try and keep them in my bag when I can to keep my pant lines clean (a bit silly, I know) but it also helps a lot to prevent mindless phone browsing. Usually the first things moved into my pocket though if I have a heavier bag load any given day. Appreciate the support, thanks for watching!

[@nevilloyd]

Hey! we're both left handed🙌🏻 btw love the asthetic !!

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much, lefties unite! Haha.

[@MostlyDayHiking]

Hey Josh, very cool video of your edc. Can you do a video of what you eat in a day? You did one a while back and it was very good.

[@joshfenn]

I've actually had a couple of fun ideas I've been toying with for a 'full day of eating' video that would be good. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted, thanks for letting me know you'd be down to see it! :)

[@JDR810]

I would be in for an updated version as well.

[@ThatGingerKid70]

Love Shinola! From Detroit as well!!

[@joshfenn]

Always nice to meet a fellow Michigander! I'm out in Oregon now but born and raised in Metro Detroit :)

[@TheGuitarist456]

Your cat is so cute

[@joshfenn]

He’s the greatest :) He’s way too nosy to not be in frame anymore if I’m shooting in my apartment, he usually tries to climb up my leg during the recipes too, haha.

[@AlwaysAmTired]

For some reason these videos are all over my suggested. They're hilarious! People identify too much with the things they own. My tech bag includes my phone, charger, some pen I stole from a hotel, and earbuds XD

[@AlmightyScorchy]

It's just capitalism, they don't own these things, these things own them

[@wenaldy]

My criend you are the true "Minimalist".

[@tonys9089]

Sounds like a pretty trash tech-bag. Minimalism isn’t about being as cheap as possible. It’s about simplifying your everyday life by getting rid of clutter. If you use headphones everyday it makes sense to buy things that have quality. Same goes for your phone, laptop etc.

[@AlwaysAmTired]

@@tonys9089 because it's not a "tech bag" LMFAO that's the point

[@DigitalNinja3]

THAT is minimalist!

[@jordancedillo762]

From Portland Oregon too got to support. You got my subscribe and like. And very nice video.

[@joshfenn]

Awesome! Been seeing a bunch of comments from people in town on this one, I appreciate the support!

[@intialhosni]

Your hydro flask has warranty. You can get on their website and they will send you a new one for any dings and damage.

[@joshfenn]

Good to know, I’ll have to get in touch with them! I’ve dropped that thing more times than I can count. Still seems to be working well though but I might exchange if it gets worse.

[@gracelynn4408]

No it’s only replaceable if it came that way.

[@davidmartino8874]

Like he said, minimalism is not about how many things you have but getting some value out of everything you own

[@joshfenn]

Exactly! Appreciate your support on this. :)

[@mikesanchez6462]

Nice pack my man!

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much!

[@abhinavmailing]

Love this .

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@turtleinashirt]

“For those who don’t know, I live in Portland, Oregon...” I’m sorry 😐

[@joshfenn]

I’m not 🙃

[@FullOfSith3230]

Portland represent!

[@randallbroom7270]

Who cares if he carries more items than y’all consider minimal? It’s his bag. He is showing you what he has. If that’s everything he needs minimum, to do his job, then actually this is minimal.

[@joshfenn]

I really appreciate your support on this! :)

[@randallbroom7270]

beardedfatloss For sure!

[@J_heterodox]

Great video

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much!

[@leoerickson9275]

As soon as I saw your thumb nail with the hydroflask, I thought to myself I would bet $50 this guy is from Oregon. First few words of the video, 'from Portland Oregon'. Its quite the trend we have here, just about everyone I know has one.

[@joshfenn]

Haha, you're so right, everyone has them out here! They work so well though, and are so durable. I'd definitely recommend it if you ever need a new bottle!

[@TheMarsgia]

What you need is a tech pouch for al those cables and chargers

[@joshfenn]

They’re already in a pouch within that bag actually, probably would be too redundant to have a bag in a bag.

[@sim9955]

Awesome video! Where do you keep your lunch and snacks?

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much! My lunches usually go in the larger compartment with my laptop or I carry them separate in my reusable grocery bag. I usually bring a few day's worth of lunches at a time to work so I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the week. 👍👍

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Yes do a review on the laptop

[@joshfenn]

Glad to hear so many people want to see a review, I'll definitely have one coming out soon!

[@High_Key]

I like your background music. Where can I find it if you don’t mind?

[@joshfenn]

Thank you! I believe this track was from Davis Absolute, but I can't remember exactly. All of the tracks in my channel videos though are through artlist. Would highly recommend it, much better selection IMO than epidemic sound, here's a link if you wanted to check it out: artlist.io/Josh-11568

[@swiper_the_jettamk4318]

You got a subscriber my brother🤙🏾

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@grai]

Thanks for this Josh and good to see that I'm pretty certain you are a much better colour this week Maybe got a bit more sleep? Don't you take an umbrella? I found one on a bus it's Chinese or Japanese and gold with cats on and a blue border! Very pleased with it! Finders Keepers How come you don't have a case for your Ray Bans? I have a little black cloth one but it still stops scratches I have a charger like a house brick but I listen to music when I'm out obsessively and can't risk being without it actually I love my big blue charger but I wish it was smaller now I've see yours The rest of your stuff I had no clue about I thought STD's were something else Great vid for nosy cats and nosy people xx

[@joshfenn]

Haha, the color came out much better in this one for sure! It just gets a bit more difficult in the editing with all that bright sunlight outside. No umbrellas around here! Only the tourists use umbrellas in Portland, haha. I’ve got my rain jacket when I need it though. I never used a case for the ray bans because my last few bags have a separate pouch just for them, usually works pretty well. Those battery packs have gotten small these days! This ones just a bit bigger than my phone. Thanks for watching and supporting like usual, glad you enjoyed this one :)

[@nadeemislam1378]

Quick question!! Is the zohirushi in this video a 12oz or 16oz or bigger??

[@joshfenn]

16oz! Still a pretty small form factor for it being the bigger one. 👍

[@davidhsu25]

hello, I have been thinking for getting this bag so long, the only problem for me is can it fit in a camera bag or a cube and still has some room for a light jacket or something? thanks！

[@joshfenn]

Definitely! I pack my little camera cube/case I showed in the video along with my waterproof shell with plenty of room to spare. 👍

[@madboeing96]

Hey Josh! I really loved your MacBook wallpaper, is there any way I can get it? Let me know. Take care!

[@joshfenn]

I'm pretty sure you saw the 'aerials' apple TV screensaver shot, I can't remember where I found it online but if you do a google search it should show up somewhere to download. Definitely worth it, all the shots look great!

[@johnpuno7085]

This has been my 8th what's in my bag video that ive watched. I cant even afford any of these

[@joshfenn]

Made quite a few upgrades for my business this year, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it either. Use your stuff/equipment to make money to pay for new things! That's what I try and do at least. :)

[@bytemegeek]

Hey Josh! I stumbled on your video and would love to know how you like the laptop. I'm a graphic designer and do some motion graphic/videos on top of that. I'm actually considering moving to Portland from Seattle and I need to get a new laptop asap. Thanks!

[@joshfenn]

That's awesome! I used to be a designer myself and actually went to school for that, but have switched over to photo/video work the past few years. I should have a review up sometime in the next couple of months but the laptop has been amazing. I've done a few design projects in illustrator, it's handled everything I've thrown at it extremely well these past few months. Come to Portland if you get the chance, it's pretty great here! Haven't spent much time in Seattle but I feel like Portland has much more character but you lose out on some of the big city feel.

[@coolboysidd]

U shd add a small umbrella in ur pack..as u said u walk to work and it rains in Portland.😁

[@joshfenn]

I’ve got a rain cover for my bag and a waterproof jacket! The locals are strongly against umbrellas around here, haha.

[@kaushikambadipudi8278]

Ngl his organization is on point

[@joshfenn]

Thanks!

[@gregryan1149]

I subscribed after I seen the Zojirushi 👍🏿

The Zojirushi is amazing! Had it for a couple of years now and it's the perfect thermos.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Nice and complete. I like the flask, going to have to try that one out. I have been using the Gorilla Gadgets 12000 mAh back up charger for a few years now. Love the speedy charging of devices but it takes hella long to recharge the charger! I never thought that would be a thing. It can take up to overnight if it's drained out. I also looked hard at that Smasung SSD HDD, but money is tight and let's face it, I don't live and die by my video back ups (lol) so ended up going with the Western Digital 4Gb My Passport. Seems to be running well but I don't think it is as robust as one of those SSD units. Always fun to see what's in other folks gear bags, go bags, edc bags etc. Have a great weekend Josh. PS I bet you get mire use out of the rain cover than the RayBans! haha

[@joshfenn]

That hydroflask is so great! Couldn't recommend it enough, it'll keep ice for at least a full day. This battery pack actually takes quite a while as well! Probably just the capacity for the most part. If you remember from last years video I actually used the 4TB passport before this one, worked well for me! Just always made me nervous bringing it around everywhere, I can be a little rough with my bag on the go. I wish those SSD's weren't so pricey too, totally understand. Haha, the ray bans actually get a lot more use than I expected moving out here from Michigan! The summers are shockingly dry and sunny around here, been wishing for some rain actually, haha. Polar opposite during the winter months though. Thanks for the support and sharing some of your carry, love talking about all this stuff!

Yes, would like to see mac book review

[@joshfenn]

Starting some of the planning for the macbook review, should be out sometime in the next few weeks!

[@connorday2502]

What is the name of the case or what kind of case are you using for hyperdrive usb c hub? I really enjoyed your video!

[@joshfenn]

It's actually a little leather sleeve that comes with it! Forgot to really mention it in the video but it's pretty good quality considering it's included. Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kalonjintambwe5130]

Nice job

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@toddbarraza3433]

How heavy is your current bag with everything in it? What is enough to be considered edc minimalist?

[@joshfenn]

Not sure the exact weight, but it's somewhere around 15lbs most days. I don't think there's any specific requirements to be considered 'minimalist', it's all about removing the excess. Everything in there is an essential daily item for me. :)

[@LeonardoAlexi]

Thank you for this awesome video! Is the camera bag insert reasonably good in terms of shock proofing?

[@joshfenn]

No problem, happy to share! I would say the padding is decent. It does have a velcro top that I decided just to take off but that would help as well. I probably wouldn't trust a drop if I was carrying it separately but inside of the bag I think it would be safe. It's probably about 1/2 inch thick? Definitely thicker than an average laptop sleeve in terms of protection. Hope that helps!

[@LeonardoAlexi]

beardedfatloss Very helpful indeed, thank you!

The cat made me subscribe.🐈

Love it! I'm an obsessed cat dad, he's basically my child haha.

Great video and where can I get your wallpaper ( iPhone )

[@joshfenn]

Thanks for the support! The wallpaper was actually a photo I took a while back, here it is on my IG page if you wanted to use it: instagram.com/p/Bj4rYIclBKI/?

[@WavyMacofficial]

Michigan fam ❤️. I been to Detroit a couple times. My aunt lives on an island there.

[@joshfenn]

That’s awesome! I love it out in Portland but I’ll always be a Michigander at heart. Really up and coming in Detroit the past few years too!

[@WavyMacofficial]

My aunt ann and uncle Chris actually lives in Portland Oregon as well.

[@joshfenn]

Small world! It’s been pretty great out here since moving, would definitely recommend a visit to your family in Portland if you can!

[@itstzuwei]

Love the iPhone wallpaper. Link? Thx!

[@joshfenn]

It’s actually an old photo of mine I posted on Instagram, I have a link to my account in the description!

[@hunterricard4529]

a lot of people are mad because it’s not the bare minimum for the minimalistic video. in my opinion if you need these things and you try to shave it down as best as you can then good for you. id rather have 10 things i can’t live without then 20.

[@joshfenn]

Definitely agree with you there. I'm always aiming to get rid of any excess, it's unfortunate that I need to carry all of my work with me but I do the best with my current situation.

[@maxcryan810]

Hmm. All the gear but no idea

Beautiful cat dude👍🏼

Thanks! He’s on Instagram if you want to see more of him 😻 instagram.com/wolfie_the_britishshorthair 👍

@@joshfenn dude, this vid literally cut out all the bull crap from other EDC videos I have seen. Underrated KZbin

[@les_edc]

Your camera work and review style is phenomenal, man. This was ridiculously enjoyable to watch. How are you liking the Shinola wallet? Any chance you could do a review? :)

[@joshfenn]

Thanks so much for the kind words, happy to hear you enjoyed the review and style! The shinola wallet is awesome, I’ve had it for a little over two years now. Don’t think I’d have enough to say to make a full review just because it’s so simple, but it’s been holding up really well and still looks great. :)

[@krlg6258]

Hydroflask can also be used as a thermos right?

[@joshfenn]

Definitely! I have a zojurushi thermos that I have used for a few years for my coffee and love it, but the hydro flask works pretty well for hot liquids as well 👍

[@sarar.higueruela8810]

Which one is that backpack? I haven’t seen the link for the bag

[@joshfenn]

It's the first link in the list in the description 👍👍 The review is also further down in the description if that's what you meant too. Thanks for watching and supporting!

Thank you! It's actually a shot I took a while back, here's a link to it on my IG if you're interested: instagram.com/p/BlvMAMFljOa/?

I was wondering where did you get the sleeve for the hyperdrive?

[@joshfenn]

Came with it!

[@morganheinzmann921]

"This is a great pen for left-handed writers." I NEED IT. I know it's a pen but it's a struggle for left-handed students. Also, I'm from detroit too!

[@joshfenn]

I know exactly what you mean with the struggle, that pen is incredible. Nice thick, inky writing without any smudging, seems to good to be true. Always nice to meet a fellow Michigander! :)

[@morganheinzmann921]

beardedfatloss I ordered a 12 pack off amazon for school 🙏🏻

[@joshfenn]

Nice! I'm going to have to pick up some more soon. I have a bad habit of loosing them, haha.

[@motosekcjapl6309]

What LUT/color profile do you use for you video?

[@joshfenn]

I usually mix it up from a few different lut packs I've purchased over the years and sometimes just do it manually myself. I can't remember which lut I used specifically for this one but I have lut packs from Zack Kravits and Cody Blue and have been very happy with all of them 👍

[@MrHerve100]

Did you choose your cat to match the colors of your bag and clothes ?

[@joshfenn]

Haha, unintentional but I guess he does match! :)

[@JorgeGomez-zj3xl]

Do you like this one more than the timbuk2? Why??

[@joshfenn]

Absolutely! The main reason being comfort, this one has really ruined all other backpacks for me from a comfort comparison, the timbuk2 included. I personally prefer the aesthetic of this one as well, and it feels a bit more premium in the build and materials. 👍

[@blakemessenger8180]

Awesome! What’s size is your thermos?

[@joshfenn]

32oz/liter size for the hydro flask for water, and 16oz for the Zojurushi for coffee 👍

[@phohan-2649]

is there a link for the waterproof cover?

[@joshfenn]

I thought I had it in the description, my bad! Here's the cover: amzn.to/2INFGAK
