Thanks for having us on Marcus - we're glad that VITURE One can make your flights that much more enjoyable. 😎 We'd love to hear more in the future!
This is one of the items I’m planning on picking up.
@@pssita me too 👊💥
where can i find these? these look awesome!!!
A Noise Cancelling Headset is a game changer. I have travelled a lot. Just turn it on even without sound, it cancels everything from crying babies to the Airplane noise.
Won't fly with it them
Sony xm4
@@B-RaDD wont fly with them? or without?
Won't even travel without them.
The one thing I will willingly pay airport prices for.
I rip off a small stack of large post-it notes (3x5?) for a notepad in my sling. They are great for jotting down notes, but it is surprising how many times you want to stick a note to a mirror or a desk or a door for a roommate or maid service or maintenance. Need extra towels? Write a note and stick it to your hotel door. And for years, I wondered how to let the maid know that the money I left behind was a tip for them and not something I had forgotten. Now, I post-it note, "Thanks!" in whatever language and stick the money under it.
Great tip ✌🏼
@@MarcusCreates Thanks. I'm sure it's not my idea, I either stole it outright or riffed off someone else's idea! LOL! But I love it!
Thanks, I will adopt this habit 😊
I use them to cover peep holes and bright clocks too.
It’s awesome how you thought about that! I used to be a housekeeper many years ago and was always unsure if the money left on the counter was tips or forgotten money 😂
There's nothing I love more on a flight than my kindle Oasis. It's the perfect time where nobody disturbs you, no blue light. Have you tried it? It's a dream.
That's a great shout. My wife has the Oasis and loves it. I use my ipad mini for reading on a flight and I love it. Thanks for sharing.
100% agree, I would not fly without my Kindle lol. I use an Oasis for my beside/“home” Kindle and a Kindle Basic I don’t care about losing or banging up as my travel/“purse” Kindle :)
For longer flights I've started carrying a pack of Dude Wipes so I can take a bathroom 'shower' before we land and a nasal spray cause it gets so dry. Thanks for the video! Always looking for new things to make the flights more enjoyable.
I recently got an "empty" travel pillow and packed my hoodie and rain coat inside of it. Havent flown yet but have tested it just sitting around the house and it's comfortable and soft enough, plus then I dont have to try to fit my hoodie in my bag or have it tied around me or anything!
Got a link for that? What a great idea
Yes, please do a review of the Viture glasses. They look awesome.
YESSS,,, more travel content plz 🙏I gotta check out that MagTame cable
Hey Maurice. Good to hear from you buddy. Hope your trip is going well. Saw some of your instagram posts and seems super productive!!!
wowowow
Future collab ???
Love your content too Maurice.
Your 1 bag travel are invaluable
16:50 “you can see how dinged up it is” looks flawless 😂. Great recommendations! You actually showed different products than most tech videos.
Marcus - I love this vids, I recently travelled to Thailand and bough a few EDC products you recommended, they made the trip even better than I expected. Thanks for these posts always really useful.
Great to hear! And thanks for sharing. Thailand is a fantastic country. Was there 20 years ago almost to the day.
Love this content. I travel a lot myself, need to check out the sling and the gaming device.
One thing I do on long flights, I get the emergency exit row or bulkhead and then I bring an inflatable footrest. Nothing better than putting your feet up while you sleep/eat/work/watch a movie.
I found this video super helpful, thank you. I'll be flying a lot more this year than previously and some of these items and tips I'd not heard of.
Thanks for the positivity. Appreciate it.
Thanks Marcus, after watching this I’m seriously considering the Venture XR Glasses especially for my work at home situation. 😊
Congrats on having unique items on your travel list. Not too easy these days with so many travel YT channels. Instead of the Victorinox Jetsetter, I suggest the SwissCard as a replacement - for air travel you can leave the blade and scissors at home and bring the rest of the tools along.
There is a Victorinox card without a blade, the Nailcare card.
Not sure how popular they are in the states but the Rolling Square inCharge X cables are a game changer for me when travelling. One cable, all the connections and supports 100W charging. Worth checking out.
This video was absolutely perfect!! You are very soothing and extremely informative!
Thanks bud
How about a usb c flashlight? I’d recommend Rovyvon for the quality and light weight. Plus, some of the options will provide light while they charge from the battery bank.
I also usually carry a couple of feet of duct tape wrapped around an old credit card. It’s surprising how often I’ve used it.
Finally, I carry one of the tiny sewing kits like you sometimes find in a hotel room. I’ve used those several times as well.
I think you've picked a lot of good items, but more importantly I like how you explained the framework and rationale for what you carry.
Love your content, really appreciate the tips on EDC stuff.
Glad you like them!
I appreciate the sling idea instead of a backpack! I will go that route on my next trip overseas. Not being able to stretch your legs due to a backpack under the seat is definitely a pain. Great video!
I prefer a 20L day pack. You don't have to fill it, but you could on an outing if needed. You also don't have to play tetris with the 10L of stuff in that sling of his. But some people just prefer slings, I think.
Nice video. Subscribed. Gonna pick up a few of these items for my upcoming trip to the D.R.
I love this video I travel a lot, there are things I will buy. The glasses and the mini console are amazing. We use the same pen 😅
Great loadout. Thanks for the video
This is great. Thank you!
him: “don’t bring too many things on the flight with you”
also him: so anyway there’s this fucking pillow I really like
😂
Great video. Love the setup. The glasses intrigue me the most. I wish I could go minimal but I’m always carrying camera gear and a 15” mbpro.
Thanks for the video. Mine is usually a noise cancelling headphone, Kindle and a power bank.
the Anbernic RG35XX is a great alternative if you cant find the Miyoo in stock -- great video!
My travel EDC would definitely be a Kindle (Basic), water bottle, scarf in case I get cold, a couple of meds in a cute tin (beano, Tums, gravol, etc), notebook with pen (in my case a pocket Leuchtturm1917 and Zebra Sarasa Dry), and noise canceling headphones. I like the look of the iPad mini though! I have the “regular” size but maybe now that I’m done grad school I could switch to a mini for portability. I also like the idea of a bladeless Victorinox with the scissors for travel journaling. Thanks for sharing!
Currently planning my first ever long haul flight (let’s face it everything from Australia feels like long haul anyway) so eating up this kind of content! Amazed at how much you can fit into such a small bag. Not sure I’ll be as successful!
Less is more. Economy with lots of bags and stuff is not fun :). Safe travels and enjoy your trip.
As someone who spends a ton of time researching how to optimize my one-bag setup, I also carry the same Swiss Army Jetsetter, amazon eye mask, and NB10000 powerbank haha. Pro-tip for the jetsetter: temporarily remove the toothpick and the tweezer from the knife before you go through security. The tweezer is extremely useful and beats out almost any camping/micro tweezer out there. Put those items in your med kit just in case your jetsetter is confiscated.
I started carrying a one Tigris foldable dump pouch into the strap. I use it as my* own TSA tray during the TSA line. Makes it very easy& fast to cross.
The collapsible molle one? the standard one looks more suitable for a tactical belt than a sling strap. I do a similar thing, but mostly everything in my pocket just get dumped into a pocket of my packt anywhere 5L sling.
Thanks Marcus. Intrigued to know more about the Viture glasses. I’m a little different, having a prosthetic right eye, but trying on other VR headsets doesn’t seem to be an issue. Cheers. Mal.
Okey doke. Will try and pull a full review together
I really enjoy your videos :)
Great content! Just subscribed. Will be checking some of these recs out. On a different note, what kind of jacket are you wearing? Looks rather tactical/utilitarian, definitely up my alley. Thanks for the video. Glad I stumbled upon you--made my day!
The shirt jacket is a Barbour, Robhill.
So a sling has been a gamechanger for me over the last year. I use the Tomtoc compact 4 liter. After years of dragging a backpack to my seat and having it underfoot, the sling has been a revelation. Now, I carry-on the backpack and place it in the overhead and tuck the sling beneath my feet. Don't really understand why you switched to a roll-on now that you have a sling. I'm just back from Asia and mad that I didn't hear the tip to strap the the sling from the seat tray so that you don't have fumble for it until I returned this week!
Sounds like you travel a lot. Thanks for sharing. ☺️
Great video, will give it a second watch as there is so much useful info@
Glad it was helpful!
cannot recommend the Bellroy sling enough, great item for travelling and been probably the best purchase I have ever made
Totally agree!
Thanks for a video without the usual products. I've never understood the iPad as a laptop with keyboard obsession that travelers maintain. A 13" ultrabook (Apple MacBook, Dell XPS 13, Lenovo Carbon X1) takes up about the same amount of combined space (actually less space overall), and then you have a full laptop instead of a tablet pretending to be one. [time passes] Saw your bit about taking notes.
I'd be very interested in a review and breakdown on the virtual glasses, especially the available prescription modifications. Great video
I use the Fintie Apple Magic Keyboard case. It’s amazing for writing on the road. Protects the keyboard and props up the iPad/iPhone.
Thanks for sharing.
A carry-on sized roller and a backpack that can fit under the seat are what I bring. I've done two long haul flights over the past six months and nothing beats the feeling of passing through immigration and the luggage carousel into customs faster than others who checked a bag. A sling is a must for me when going about my day to day at a destination though, so that gets packed in my roller.
I even bring my laptop on such flights in a 12 liter Alpaka sling. Love this sling, it fits a 14" Laptop and is pretty compact asides from that.
I’ll check it out
@@MarcusCreates it’s called Bravo Sling Max. Love that thing
Thanks for the video I see your using a full size apple keyboard. Do you sill like the Tokyo folio keyboard? Which one do you prefer to take when you travel. Also do you have a case on your iPad mini or is it naked. Thanks much!
Another great video, I have a Miyu mini in the same color, it’s a great device. I will probably end up with another I pad mini, it’s a great size.
Thanks for sharing and for the positive support. ☺️
Being a short person, I MUST bring a backpack with me so it can be my feet rest during the flight and be more comfortable by not slipping down the sit 😂 Nice items in your review, love the glasses!
😅
I like your videos so much. my dad flies weekly for work and I’m hoping to get some tips to help reduce his stress in any possible way. he’s a very tall man and he is always first in line for boarding so that he can get his stuff in the overhead, but he brings his briefcase too which fits between his legs fine.
as an artist who uses the big iPad Pro, I’m torn on paperlike. I’d love some more friction, the slippery clicking is definitely detrimental, but the paperlike is a bit notorious for wearing down apple pencil tips fast so I’ll have to look into how much replacements will cost me. it just might be worth it at this point.
your notebook/journal is lovely, i always carry a few notebooks with me in case i want to write about what’s going on or doodle something :) have a nice day!
Great video, kind of a similar setup to mine. My thoughts, suggestions?:
Glasses - I can live without them, they seem to be a hassle to set up and don't bring anything to the table.
iPad, stand, keyboard combo - can be replaced by a small laptop. I use a Lenovo Yoga.
Miyoo Mini - great choice. I use a PSP Go.
Notebook - can be replaced by the laptop, phone, but I still bring my notebook with me everywhere.
Pen - Uni Jetstream - ballpoint, but writes like a gel, doesn't leak and you can buy it in 0.38mm, perfect for a notebook.
Sling - totally, I don't leave my home without it. My pockets are for my hands. I have 2 Tomtocs and an Air.
Neck pillow - I'd suggest a good quality inflatable one to save space.
Gum and comb - yes.. well... I'm bald so no need for comb...
Charging devices, cables - whatever you can find that suits your needs, but just one of each.
Medic bag - good to have.
Multitool - I would't bother, especially since it lacks the most important tool: the blade.
An e-book reader would be a good alternative for entertainment.
I still use wired earbuds instead of wireless so that I don't have an extra thing to charge.
Hey Marcus, thanks for the awesome video. Quick question re the Venture sling - are you able to wear this as a fanny pack?
I know it's not the most stylish thing to do, but on occasion on trips I like having the option of being able to stick my sling around my waist
Hi Marcus,
awesome video. i also bought a retro console "RG35XX" for the flub or just like that and i'm really happy with it.
I find the glasses very interesting, so I'll find out a bit more about them.
Can they also be connected to the laptop so that they can be faked as a screen?
thanks and keep up the good work. looking forward to your videos as always
Greetings from Germany
Marcus
Stumbled on this video randomly, absolutely loved it.
One of the newest things I've added to my travel bag are the AKG K361 headphones. I don't like earbuds, they tend to hurt my ears, and ANC bothers me when I'm traveling, so the relatively compact, foldable K361's are great - they sound pretty good, they're easy to drive, and they do block out a decent amount of sound - but not everything. Plus being wired, I don't have to worry about charging them or having them run out of juice on a long flight. I do carry a small set of wired earbuds (the Moondrop CHU's), and a small set of wireless earbuds (Amazon Echobuds) as backups and for making phone calls.
One other trick I learned from a fellow traveller (not THAT kind of fellow traveller) are some Purell santizing wipes. These are great to wipe down the tray table or any other surface that might need cleaning, and they're small so I can fit a bunch.
Amazing. Appreciate you sharing.
I do an eye mask but not a pillow. I use Klean Freak to get myself clean before I get off the flight. One thing I always have is a flashlight, right now I use the Boruit v10 when travelling, the red light allows me to find stuff when the plane lights are off.
Those glasses are a choice, no? And yes, I did buy a Miyoo Mini for my better half after watching one of your videos about it! And he showed it to his coworkers and now they have them too. You should get a commission on these sales.
Would love to see a full review of the Viture Glasses! Thanks, great video.
You got it!
Marcus, I like your list. I also travel a lot for work. For US airline power ports, I carry a small US to Type G adapter. The US plugs are often worn out and too loose, while the Type F or Type G plugs are rarely used still tight. Never had a charger drop out with a Type G adapter. Almost never with a Type F.
The G adapter is a great shout. Never thought of that. Thanks for sharing.
I was totally listening while doing something else and herd you say BART so hello fellow east bayer!! #bayallday
Hello 👋🏻
Nice Video..How much you bought the Miyoo Gaming Handheld please?where you bought the Miyoo Gaming handheld please?How long last the battery of the Miyoo Gaming Handheld in use please?How many hours battery charging of Miyoo Gaming Handheld please?Already Pre Installed/Loaded of all Mario Games in Miyoo Gaming Handheld please?
Great video. I always over pack when I travel and these tips really make sense. Any other pouch recommendations, not just for travel but for EDC?
So many. What specifically are you looking to do?
I usually carry a few different slings (Tomtoc, Nutsac tactical) and I want to add a small pouch so that I don't have to switch each item but just the pouch when I switch slings.. I carry a power bank, victorinox knife, earbuds, flashlight, a couple of pens, charging cable. Any thoughts?@@MarcusCreates
@@MarcusCreatesI use a couple of different slings (tomtoc, nutsac tactical) for my everyday carry and I’m looking for a pouch to place items I carry in so that I can switch between slings easier. I usually carry a power bank, cable, victorinox knife, pens, field notes and flashlight. I’ve been suggested the RZE blackcomb pouch and maxpedition pouches. Any thoughts or suggestions?
How are you fitting that keyboard in the Bellroy 10L sling?
Edit: Aha! Got to the packing part of the video… I think that’s the 9L not the 10L? The 10L has those padded dividers for camera gear that I couldn’t figure how you were working around 😄
Just heard yesterday that all major airlines in the US now are considering the extras like neck pillows a personal item. So if you have a carry on and out it in the bin, then your sling, they wont allowmthe neck pillow or blanket or whatever hanging off your other items.
I have to normally take a mirrorless camera--Sony A7 series. I know you carry a camera. Where do you put it if you only have a sling? What do you use to protect it?
The MIYOO MINI looks great, and I have heard it is great, but I have a device similar to it called the Anbernic RG353V and I would 100% recommend it. It has the GameBoy form factor, has L1/R1 and L2/R2 like the MIYOO, but it also has 2 joysticks. It helps with playing some more emulators that it can handle, like PSP, PS1, N64 etc. I would recommend looking into it, plus it can be easily bought on Amazon.
Oh would love some 007 N64 action on a handheld. You have me tempted.
I'll counter that you can say anything when you're role playing. However, I had a job loss a couple years ago in my early 40s and my emergency fund saved us from making any major adjustments. It took a year to replace, but that was still faster than I expected.
you mentioned you bring a full size magic keyboard - is this something that's permanently paired to your iPad mini? I find taking the keyboard with me difficult since apple makes the re-pairing with the MacBook so difficult (unless maybe you have a workaround?)
great video!!
Thank you!!
i like everything you are showing but i cant find the Orbit key tech pouch, can you share a link to it please!
Flight is one place where I feel one should definitely consider going for a physical book for entertainment and moving away from electronics, too much screen time on a long flight can really make things worse, disturb your sleep cycle etc
That's true. But I just don't want to schlep around a physical book. And i need to have a device with me anyway to get some work done. But I get it 100%
I like to take face/hand wipes. Nothing beats a quick wipe down a couple hours in.
Makes sense. ☺️
I bring backpack or messenger's bag and a molle pouch. Which perfectly locks onto the closed food tray. And you get a pocket for all your essentials.
I love your content. Extremely useful. What is the brand of your military shirt?
Barbour
@@MarcusCreates Thanks a lot !
Hey Marcus, i was just wondering if the ipad pro 11" would fit in the belroy 10l?
I'd recommend carrying a set of wet wipes (for skin) and anti-bacterial wipes (for everything else).
👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲
you don’t carry a water bottle when you travel? 👀
Can’t take it through security
@@khaleelwm1 you can it just has to be empty..
@@inSpyrnot all places have free drinking water you will still have to buy a bottle of water
does the Miyoo Mini V2 have a video display out?.... The Viture glasses are asking.....
Definitely do a video in the virtue glasses
I'd be interested in a quick tutorial about that little notebook that has the calendar drawn in! How do you design the calendar and how you use it, what type of information do you write down on the notebook, how do you keep it somewhat organized, etc. If you could do even a short video on it it would be great!
I’d love to. Nobody (besides you) will watch it but I’ll make one anyway. 😂
@@MarcusCreates 🤣 much appreciated! But only if you do find a flow for it, i know making videos can be very time consuming. Also, Im sure it'll interest more than a couple other organizing weirdos
I always fly with a blow up seat pad which makes economy seats feel that much better.
Great video. I'm super curious about those glasses and may need to give them a try. And that mini gaming system too.
I love the ostrich hoodie when i travel. I wear it a lot during daily life during cold months as well. But as a travel necessity its been on every trip since i got it. Its just a hood but you can wear it through the face hole and it blacks out everything. There is still a gap between my face and the material so it doesnt bother me. As soon as im situated on a flight I put un my galaxy buds and the hood in sleep mode and I'm good to go.
Thanks for the video. I'm new to your channel and am enjoying your content. Because of you i even bought yhe liliput fountain pen. Its been a pleasure to write with.
Nice content! Would like to have a tooth brusher on it as well =)
Great video! Regarding the backpack, my backpack is big enough that it can’t fit under the seat so they can’t make me put it there. 😅
Marcus, what’s the overshirt you’re wearing in this video? Love that front pocket
It’s an overshirt by Barbour. Love it. It’s thick but wears in beautifully.
@@MarcusCreates What model? Can´t seem to find it. (I was searching for this very comment).
@@andreassundberg5636 Robhill
A good Miyoo mini alternative since they’re hard to get is the anbernic rg35xx, rg35xx plus and rg 35xxh
Which of the best from those? Also are they plug and play?
@@arey256 the cheapest one is the rg35xx for around $50 and plays up to PlayStation 1, the rg35xxh and the rg35xx plus are the same only difference is the rg35xxh is horizontal like a switch lite. The 35xx plus and 35xxh can play up to the original psp so it can play Dreamcast, n64 and etc. they all come ready to use out the box
Did you print the calendar in your notebook separately? If so, you have link for the A7 size calendar?
I manually drew the calendar in myself :)
Nice one
Thanks for watching
Tried the nreal air. Discovered that the streaming apps do not generally allow external displays for offline viewing. If you found a way around that, I’d be interested in knowing how.
I was able to use United’s App with the Viture from my phone. Huh.
I like to bring foldable slippers on the flight. It's such a luxury to give my feet a rest from regular footwear on long flight.
What is the storm trooper you left behind on your desk?
Yes, a VITURE video review - please…
Can you share the details of the iPad stand please? Thanks!
A sling isn’t comfortable for me. Can you recommend a backpack of about 20 liters that can keep a laptop secure? The pakt is too large.
What else do you need from the backpack? Do you carry anything that needs protecting like a camera? Do you use it for single bag travel so it can carry clothes and toiletries? Or is it just for carry on?
Nice Jacket. Which brand is it?
“Never bring a backpack on a flight” I was planning on only bringing a backpack, so surely that advice doesn’t apply to me, right? Or should I rethink my plans? Great video!
A couple of times you mention using a (sounds like) roll on (13m 10s), do you mean a suitcase with wheels?
Yes. A roll on suitcase
I love this! The glasses are way too much for me and for the love of everything holy i can't wrap my head around ppl considering retro gameboy a luxury as we have pc games that look like movies. BUT! That's just me. I take my boox e-reader and the rest is similar. I have a tablet toothpaste and toothbrush for longer flights.
What tablet toothpaste do you use? I’m ready to up my game.
i use superbee dentos which are eco friendly for the wild
Can't find the orbitkey tech pouch. Is it released yet?
It was on kickstarter, I believe it just ended.
What note app are you using?
can’t wait until the ipad mini 7th gen comes out.
Nice video, what is the green shirt that you are wearing
Barbour. It’s a beauty.
Do you have a direct link for the Orbitkey pouch? I can’t find it on their site, but it looks perfect for travel.
I don't, but its actually part of their tech pouch. its an inner insert that pulls out.
Got it. Thank you!
Looks like it's a Kickstarter.@@ethangunderson6537
