- Today I'm testing out five different gadgets that are said to be good for travel. I took them with me on a trip to Hawaii for a real-world test. Some seem more travel-friendly than others! Here is a short update, 1 year later: • 10 Previously Reviewed...

I' m totally with you on the hanger and shirt direction thing. Drives me crazy if its backwards
I'd LOVE to see Bailey's reaction when he sees U in the silly Ostrich pillow. I'm sure people on the plane DID look & laugh....U just couldn't see them. I know I would have. lol!
Poor dog would probably run away crying!
I use those hangers at the gym to keep my shirt and pants off the bottom of the locker.
The hangers would be good to hang a bathing suit on in the bathroom or outside to let it dry.
That....
That sounds like it might be the purpose of designing them...
You’re to smart. Ima have to get them now that you said that.
My girlfriend has migraine so I got her the ostrich pillow - which shuts out light and noise - she has wears it laying on the couch and she likes it!
Hey bud, have her take Nacent Iodine, go to Global Healing .com...

That pillow looks the start of the best Halloween costume ever.
Alien insect head!
@@jgw5491 I was thinking if it was a tan/beige color it would look like a big old raw turkey on your head! (Thanksgiving flash backs today) lol
Throw some big googly eyes on it
@@abramporras7877 oh that would be hilarious ! Thanks for the chuckle!
Should appear in the next Star Wars
PURPLE has come out with a weighted blanket partnered with Gravity. It also comes with a weighted sleep mask! I would love for you to review it because I can hardly find any reviews for it. I love your content. Keep up the good work!
Second this James made me familiar with purple have pillows mattress and cushions for chair
This would be amazing
weighted blankets would induce anxiety.
I hope he does this one ^-^
I messaged him on Facebook and after a couple weeks he got back to me. He said he doesn't plan to review the new purple products.
The pillow reminds me of when Mr. Bean got a turkey stuck on his head! Lol 😆
Pac n Stack: Every January my family goes to Disney World which requires several different thicknesses of jackets and coats because the temperature can fluctuate so much from day to night with layering needed to stay comfortable (you'd be surprised how cold it can get next to the lagoon in Epcot at night with wind!). We fit everything for two people in a single duffle using Ziploc travel Space Bags (the kind you roll up to get the air out) and they work fabulously, especially with our "puffy" coats. There's absolutely no need for a stupid little gadget like that.
It’s never good when a “travel/travel size” item shows up in a huge box lol
i had something like those pack n wipes, but mine were smaller, about the size of a sugar cube that expanded to a large rag when wet. i really liked them. of course they were one use only but they did save a lot of space. i used to keep a pack in my car too
I found one on the table at a restaurant and wondered if I was supposed to swallow it. I didn't. (I ordered ribs.)
Dollar Tree has wash cloths that are similarly made dry and tiny. They have Sesame Street and other kid characters on them and may be helpful for traveling parents.
That pillow helmet is pretty wild.
I laughed hysterically through the ostrich pillow! How can you tell if people laughed at you? You can't see with it on! Awesomely funny! And I would think your neck would hurt after sitting in that chair since the back is low? :-) as far as the towels, you can get real compressed towels at dollar tree. They are a bit bigger, but you drop them in water and they expand. And they can be reused because they are cloth. I'm a new subscriber and addicted! LOL
Those little compressed towels have all kinds of cute kid cartoons on them and are a hit for christmas stocking fillers. the kiddos and their parents love dropping them into water to watch them poof open lol
They hold up to being thrown in the washer well too.
I got mine from the dollar store as well and they are in regular use and have been in the washing machine numerous times over the last years and they still hold up.
New logo, who dis?
These are some Freakin' awesome reviews. Been watching you for a few years now!
Kyle Hooker me too!
Ostrich pillow: Giving claustrophobics nightmares everywhere. 😂
I hyperventilated just looking at him wearing it 😊
Looking at their website, the Mini (a pillow you wear on your forearm and lay your head on) or the Loop (it's basically a wide, puffy blindfold) versions look good and way less dopey and claustrophobic.
Emtu 100% agree. I have the Ostrich eye/neck travel pillow that I used when traveling from Boston to Australia (6hrs to CA then 16 to AUS so 22hrs flight time total) and it was perfect. The original Ostrich would have been too much to travel with.
Ostrich pillow.... spend 30 minutes on hair, ruined in 2 second with pillow. Lol. Love your reviews.... really helps with buying decisions.
I feel like they should market it as a migraine relief thing instead
The compact towels have been around for years. You can usually find better versions in the dollar section of most stores.
"It's a Trap!" (ostrich pillow)
My manz be taking these trips and still posting vids for us
I travel from cost to coast every few months to visit family, and depending upon who I'm staying with dictates not only the closet space, but also the number of hangers I'll be allotted. So, for me these hangers are definitely something I could... and after I order them... will use.
Oh... and the notch that folds up is perfect for women's strappy t's and chemises, which are usually silky and notorious for slipping off hangers.
The "Admiral Akbar" pillow might have been a better name for it.
Valen Greymoon _IT’S A NAP!_
Oh definitely, perfect name for that monstrosity 👌
Absolutely Akbar-like

As a regular business traveler I had heard of most of these items and the only one I take with me are these exact same hangers. I just throw two or three in a small inner pocket of my bag and most of the time I even forget they're in there. But just like with my universal sink stopper, every couple of months I end up being incredibly happy I got them. It's when I end up with one jacket, three shirts, and one pair of trousers in a cheap motel room with exactly three hangers but no service. Somehow hotels seem to provide either zero hangers, exactly three, or at least seven.
Just wait 3 months and Wish.com will have the Cliq Chair for $5 with $20 shipping.
If the ostrich pillow was inflatable it would be the perfect life preserver.
As a flight attendant, I've seen a few passengers wearing the Ostrich pillow. The first time, the crew was like, "wtf? Is this some kind of weird alien cosplay?" [We see a lot of strange sh*t, believe me]. We had a good laugh. I talked to a guy who was using it, he swore by it.
☆☆and the compressed cloths are a must if you travel to Europe. Even the nice hotels don't have face cloths. I get mine at the dollar store. They are real cloth, I've washed and dried them.
Those sunglasses make him look like that thing off of Men in Black 3 🤣
I have one of those chairs. I bought it for camping. Very sturdy, compact for fitting in our backpack, and great for sitting at the campfire. Much better than sitting on the ground! It was worth the cost to me for a convenient, compact, light chair.
I'm the same way with my hangers. I like to see the front of the shirts I'm picking through. And the hook facing the wall just makes taking it off the rack so much easier.
I've gotten a lot of use out of those travel hangers. I was working at a couple national parks this year and since my sedan is carrying my entire life atm, the smaller the better. The company housing they had didn't have anything other than a bed, a dresser and a lamp.
When the zombie apocalypse comes I wanna meet you because I feel that you have everything for survival.
That head pillow.....I died laughing. Thanks James!
RIP! Was good to know ya!
Funny and cool to see your son looks like you and has a lot of your mannerisms. apple don't fall far
Ostrich pillow! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Parenting goals! " My kids are going to be embarrassed ....I dont care! " 😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
I laughed so hard at that Ostrich pillow..I'm in tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have to admit the first time I saw that thing it was in a commercial on TV and I laughed pretty hard too. Then I thought about how I like to sleep and it made sense. Reminds me of the evil monster spotlight characters from Bio-Shock infinite.
😂😂😂😭
Glad I'm not the only one with hanger OCD. Some places have hangers that can't be removed so travel hangers would be handy to hang garments in the bathroom to steam out wrinkles.
As soon as I saw you with the Ostrich Pillow on, the first thing that popped into my head was an alien from Star Wars. 🤣
There's something about the Ostrich pillow that just says "Troll Me! PLEASE!" Had I been wearing it, I would've found a sticky note on it saying "Kick Me!" or "Dump water here"... You are such a Brave man for wearing it!! :D
Every once and a while I think of the ostrich pillow and laugh. To myself. In public. Which is still less embarrassing than wearing the ostrich pillow in public.
Who needs memory foam when you've got the Ostrich pillow
The hangers would be nice for home use so when you don't need one you fold it and put it in a bin
That ostrich pillow is hilarious! Lmao
The ostrich pillow reminds me of an alien octopus. 👽🐙
OMG! That pillow Lol! I liked the chair, though.
The head pillow was comedy gold.
Friends episode where Monica/chandler had a turkey on his head :).
chinh pham that is the exact thought that popped in to my mind!
Or Mr. Bean!
Joey.
chinh pham Joey had the turkey stuck on his head 🙂
It's kinda nice to see your kids involved in your videos and I found that they getting more and more confident in front of the camera
His son has a CZcams channel....
That Ostrich Pillow reminds me of the old saying now I've seen everything. LOL
The head pillow... 💀
Lol
The Ostrich Pillow looks like something my brother might enjoy.
I have been in a few places with like 3 hangars lol. And the hook facing me is as much of a crime as under not over with toilet paper. That's a buy for me. The pack n stack is not best for travel, it's best use is winter storage for bedding and clothes to avoid mildew/mold, works well. Cliq chair and towels are also an instant buy. Great choices...
IMDARKFIRE007 I think I got conditioned by the department stores to have the hanger hook facing away from me like they do... I find myself “fixing” them when I find them facing the “wrong” way in the store 😁
That pillow demonstration was really funny 🤣👍
🤣👍 the chair made your wallet lighter 🤣 LOL that pillow has me cracking up! Like a gray foam Turkey on your head!🤣🤣🤣😂😁 I love your videos!!! I even shared your channel with a patient at work today then I got the notification on this video not 5 minutes later!👍❤
One of the Realist youtubers out there
Ha ha! I'm the same way with hanging my clothes! The opening in the shirt or jacket has to be to the left, as its hanging.
I couldn't breathe when you had the pillow on your head 🤣
*"my wallet feels a bit lighter too!"*
🤣😂ooooomg 🤣 LoL. You're hysterical. That pillow was just too funny 🤣
Had to show my wife the part about how you have to hang your shirts the same direction because I do the exact same thing lol. It drives her crazy 😂
I do the exact same thing!
Crazy people don't hang their clothes all the same way.
a woman that doesn't organize a closet properly... what?
Gorgeous setting! Hope you enjoy your vacation! Thank you for the review.
An ABC Store items review would be fun. Also, googly eyes on that pillow would be hilarious.
@navypapercut They are stores found only in Hawaii. Kind of like a 7-11.
I would like the hangers in the car. I can see a use for it for my business coats or clothes I don't want wrinkled up during travel
The ostrich pillow looks like you have a turkey on your head!🦃
I laughed so loud with the Ostrich Pillow... It just looks so funny and ridiculous! 😂😂😂
Ok my opinion of the ostrich pillow -a Turkey on your head.
I literally laughed harder than I have in MONTHS! THANK YOU JAMES!!!! I FREAKIN LOVE YOU!!!!🥰🥰
I'm using ostrich pillow a lot at home. With some type of headaches it's a life savior. No light, no noise, and there is enought place for ice bag and even oxygen mask, that will be hold in place secure.
The ostrich pillow looks like you've got a mouldy turkey on your head lol. Great video as always. Hope your enjoying Hawaii
LMAOOOOO @ the Ostrich pillow. 😂
Thumbs up from me for that pillow. It took me several minutes to stop laughing even after the video ended. However sticking a ball with an eye drawn on it in it would have made it even better. Love your reviews.
"Its not quite what I expected!" I am rewatching and rewatching! So hysterical!
OMG that pillow got me hollering!! Omg I can't stop laughing my sides are hurting!! You look like an alien!! That was hilarious!! That was entertaining for sure!!😂😂❤
He got a little too excited about a smashed paper towel that...wow...expands when wet! Fold up a few paper towels & they take up no space. "Ooh fancy!" 😂😂😂
At Dollar Tree, you can pick up dehydrated logo (we got Spiderman a few years ago for stuffing stockings) washcloths that are the same size as your little tablet-papertowels, but you don't throw them away when you're done. Ours has been hanging about for over 7-8 years now!
I like the travel hanger idea. We go on a lot of cruises and there isnt always a lot of hangers in their closets.
Also, those towelettes things are exactly like those magic washcloths at the dollar store with cartoon characters on them.
As always great video. I'd like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Would love to see a fAmily wish holiday video similar to Halloween one really enjoyed seeing everyone
Ostrich pillow.... goofy looking, hot, useful for sleeping at your desk... seems like a slam dunk "FAIL". Enjoyed your vid, as always.
My first thought on the Ostrich Pillow is that it made you look like Frank Zappa playing an alien in a very low budget sci-fi movie. You just need some Zappa tunes playing in the background.
Travel pillow = alien head 👽
I'm high af lol. He cracking me up
“Fortunately nobody did...THAT I KNOW OF”
😂😂 god this channel is a guilty pleasure.
Ostrich pillow be good on star trek show as an alien!😁
Ostrich pillow making you look like Joey with the turkey on his head 😂
It should be called the turkey pillow instead.Lol😄
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
How you doin?
Friends is overrated
LoL we got the ostrich pillow while deployed. I am also not a fan of putting my head inside of it, however I utilized the holes to “hold” the pillow on the plan. If anything it was a great laugh and I even had one of my soldiers fall asleep in it...He might have been sleep deprived but he was OUT lol
I felt claustrophobic just watching you with the ostrich pillow
LOL, that pillow. 😅😅😅
The travel hanger actually has some uses... 1 it can hang clothes for drying outside when you need to, 2 it can be used when camping as you won't find hangers here.
I love your honest reviews you share. Also, I cant hang my clothes any other way, but the way you do. Been doing it the same way for 50 tears. Tyfs n take care, happy new year
I can say the ostrich pillow looks useful for taking a nap in your car. You can comfortably rest against your head on the steering wheel.
The Octopus pillow was the most funniest thing I seen you review and wasn't it on an episode of "Blackish", lol
You can get way cheaper portable chairs on all those Chinese websites. Aliexpress, Wish and so on. They hold up well and hold roughly the same weight. They don't click together like that chair and the seat itself is a separate piece that you attach to the poles. They're basically copies of the chairs first made by Helinox, then REI, A-Lite and so on. I personally own a Helinox Chair One which cost me 100 bucks in Sweden. Pricey, but very durable, comfortable and it packs down smaller than the click chair in this video. The clicky chair seems to come together faster than other chairs, but at the cost of size and perhaps durability. More moving parts, more things that can break.
The ostrich pillow makes you look like an alien from a cheap 1950s SciFi movie 😂
LOL, I was going to say; “It looks like you have a big grey turkey on you head but,... someone beat me to it. OMGOODNESS!
Thank you! These are what I would search for online the Most. I travel on business a lot.
Can we send ostrich pillows to every member of the Senate. If only just for comic relief.
mary hershelman, LOL, OH IF ONLY!
politics is only comedy.
Stick one on Mitch McConnell’s head; maybe he’ll stop obstructing everything that lands on his desk 😂
That would make CSPAN a way more interesting channel
The pillow made you look like Admiral Ackbar “It’s a trap!”
FYI - British Airways will NOT allow you to wear the ostrich pillow in flight. It reduces your hearing of emergency announcements and could slow you down from getting an oxygen mask on in emergency situations
Omg I'm cracking up with that thing on your head!! Lmao
If that ostrich pillow came in brown I could run around with it on yelling, "It's a TRAP!"
Agreed on the hanger arrangement!
The ostrich pillow you looked like you were putting your head up a chicken!!! LOL 🤣😂🤣
It felt like that too!
The pillow reminds me on Friends where one of the girls on the show was wearing the turkey on her head and gyrating to lift the spirits of the Joey character.
I like the Click Chair, but Bran is right, half price it would be great. BTW, I'm soooooo jealous you're in Waikiki. Favorite place on the planet. Enjoy your vacay and Happy Holidays! 🎄❄
