What's Inside Adam Savage's Hip Pack!
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 12. 2020
- You may have seen Adam wearing a hip pack (or fanny pack) in recent build videos, and Adam shares why he carries it and exactly what's contained within. It's a custom pack made by Tom Sachs (based off of a Zpacks utility pack) and holds some of the things Adam would normally carry in his jacket. From fountain pens to a small work light, it's an extra bit of everyday carry for the shop!

I miss Mythbusters, yes.
But after discovering this channel, I found out how much I just really enjoy hearing Adam ramble. His thought process. His vernacular. It's all here.
And so am I 👌
I wish Jamie had something similar. I watch Tested pretty much just for Adam
Except when he decides to make politically charged comments (which he used to do in the Tested podcast, uncertain if he does it here in his CZcams channel or if he is more focused on the process) made me stop being a fan of his.
@@rosephjosenbaum7130 Adam does too. Just happens to align with yours more probably so you didn't notice as much ;p
Yeah i miss the Mythbusters too. But i sill love to rewatch the episodes. One of my all-time favorites is still "Duct Tape Island"
@rosephjosenbaum7130 I don't agree with the "we are screwing up the world" comment either as "global warming" is a trend that has happened before, is happening now, and will happen again. Mother nature releases more CO2 and other noxious gases with one volcanic eruption than most countries could in a year. Most liberals and people from "hollywood" do their song and dance about the other side but look at San Francisco now. Full of homeless, tent cities, empty store fronts, and steady and rising crime rates.
Says "I never have to wonder where my sunglasses are." No sunglasses were to be found in the bag
I’m so glad you said this.
That feeling when he wrote on the cover of the notebook with the fountain pen...
This channel is so nice.
That pizza looks nice 😍
such a creative comment
@@user-yk1cw8im4h true true
I was smiling as you said fanny pack and felt so called out lol
Dont worry, as an American, I giggle about it every time lol
I was holding it together being all mature n stuff (coz we knew it was coming right) then Adam called us Brits out and then couldn't help laughing 🙈🤣
Teeheehee
im sorry......but i had to snigger a little :)
chuckled to myself lmao
As an artist who primarily uses fountain pens and has almost 30 of them by now it excites me to no end to see Adam with a Lamy
Are you a Peter Draws fan?
@@LukeSeeleygamertagisV3XChintzy oh yeah for sure
What about mechanical pencils? About 5 years ago I abandoned the plastic crap ones and now rely on my single Pentel GraphGear 1000. I lose it or break it every year or so and just buy another.
@@chris-hayes well of course I have a nice metal mechanical pencil but I hardly use it for the kinda art I make
Its precious and cute to hear Californians talk about changeable weather. Thank you giving a chuckle to everyone from the midwest/great lakes!
Can I like this more than once!
And Wyoming
I left the littoral hell hole that is texas because it was too hot. I could hardly work in the heat and once my co-worker dies from heat stroke I booked it. You guys are all assholes enjoying and acting superior for that lie.
Meh our weather is changing too & not for the best.
Minnesota: Land of 10,000 seasons. Wait 52.5 minutes and it will change!
I see Adam has earned two "paint your fingernail black with a hammer" demerit badges.
+
Smashing a finger with a hammer is bad. But there’s a worse option and that’s smashing your finger with a hammer when it’s extremely cold.
Ah, the video where ultralight backpacking tech and the maker space combine! Finally 🤩
As a "fanny pack" user myself I was delighted to see this video today! "Why two flashlights?" I also carey two flashlights! They come in hand so much more than people who do not carry a flashlight could ever understand.
I carry one in a cargo pocket and have one on my keychain. Why? because batteries run out and ALWAYS when you need the light the most.
I've been wearing a hip pouch for years now and I totally agree with Adam about the "Everything is just there." aspect of them. I found one that I really liked when I started wearing them, but then it was discontinued. So I hired someone to make a pattern for me and train me how to sew my own with the pattern. My pattern uses a more vertical form-factor with two zippered compartments.
Also, I would like to introduce the best kind of buckle for a hip pouch I have ever found: www.amazon.com/PARACORD-PLANET-Rotational-Paracord-Backpacks/dp/B07BHR9YYQ I have yet to have one break on me, less gets caught in them and I think the flex helps reduce wear.
I'm still looking for a source of double zippers that open in the middle though.
You're right but you need to move to rechargeable
When you're battling a depression, these videos help a lot.
The Fountain Pen aficionados are all saying “Law-mee!” right now. And then geeking out on how we can help with your new hobby.
"Doggy poop bag because you don't want to be out without one"
Yea I heard SF has that problem XD
Adam, you can make any show & tell fun and I can always count on you to put a smile on my face on nearly any given day! Especially much needed during Covidageddon !
+1 on the Lamy Safari fountain pen. I've had one of those for a few years now and it's awesome.
When can we expect a Savage Industries EDC fanny pack? :D
I want a Savage industries laptop bag. When I was in the market for one a few months ago I checked and was disappointed one didn’t exist...
Just spent the last hour researching fanny packs. Thanks for inspiring the life upgrade 👍🏼
In the UK we call it a BUM BAG!
That's mostly because fanny has a different meaning here, lol
Bum Bag would probably sounds like “Homeless Bag” over there 🤔🙃
@@adonoghuea02 ?????
Where I'm from we call it a Scrotum Sack... nobody snicker that's what we call it!
@@SuperJohnhughes fanny is a front bottom
I’ve been carrying a brass pen for the last couple of years and lately it’s been a great “no touch” tool for elevators, door handles and chip and pin pads. It’s great!
I recently fell in love with a Hilltop Packs fanny pack. It keeps everything you need in a convenient place and you can be very creative with how it looks if you want to.
Thanks for the video Adam. I totally get the hip pouch idea.
In the summer Montana can be quite variable in temps. We generally wear a fleece for warmth and breathability and then put on a light windbreaker for wind and rain resistance. Also help later at night to lock in the heat retained by the fleece. Because of the fact that I may be wearing several jackets in a day I generally wear cargo pants. My wife has described me as a Santa looking version of Pockets from "Hatari!" when I pull random things out of my pockets but not too much because I am generally pulling them out for her to use.
I agree with the noise abatement issue with the pull ring. I have a pair of cargos with metal zippers on the leg pockets and if I have the unzipped while walking around the pulls will chime with every step.
One improvement to the bag that I noticed would be something to hold the excess belt ends so they aren't dangling around to catch in something. Otherwise that bag looks very functional.
Can you please do an updated EDC video? what tools/knives/multitools do you carry?
I really like my Lamy pen. I ended up switching to an extra fine nib; combined with the larger girth of the pen and the less pressure that I can exert with the nib while writing helps to keep my forearm and hand from cramping up while writing.
As a Texan, I’m glad y’all are getting a taste of the weird weather. Our “winter” in most of the state just consists of all 4 seasons in one day, about half the week. So it’s cold in the morning, you’re in shorts and a short sleeve by lunch, then maybe it rains, then it’s back to cold around 7PM or so. Good times.
You want weird weather? I'm in Northern Minnesota and have no snow in Dec. The East Coast has more snow right now than I've seen all winter.
you want weird weather? come to alberta off the rockies. We will regularly get temp swings of 70-100F during the winter from the chinooks. Just yesterday it was 53F and sunny and now today we're going to 6F with a foot of snow
"it's cold today? It's getting ready to rain"
"I am glad about global warming because it makes you feel unformfortable"
Eh, when you wear it at your side, it starts to look more like a piece of a utility belt or construction type bags, more than an actual fanny pack...
All the better.
Big fan of the fanny packs. I've been EDCing one for a couple years now. Definitely got some ideas to add to my kit!
I would miss winter so much. I spent all day in the fish house with the kids. That weather would take part of my soul.
I love how Adam got ahead of the term fanny pack for the UK audience. But I still sniggered through the whole thing lol! 😂
I went with an over the shoulder mens carry all/map case. Particularly helpful now that i only go out less than once a week. If you put your wallet down and don’t pick it up for ten days its really easy for it to move or you forget where you put it.
Ideas for other Demerit Badge, dropping something fragile/messy, breaking a bolt or screw, scratching a finish, losing a screw from a project, taking a sip from the mug that wasn't coffee.
I take a wrong sip too often! Great idea!
Trying to figure out a badge for “right tool, wrong job”.
Running out of bobbin thread midseam
I'm a painter & the taking a sip from the wrong mug is a way too common a problem.
@@wwaxwork LOL do that too often when working with watercolors. gah, wrong brown liquid.
Hearing that Adam is into fountain pens was an awesome thing to wake up to on a Saturday morning. I had no idea he shared the same hobby as me, and evidently, several other people in this comment section.
That was awesome Adam, Thank you. I am so waiting for more Fanny Packs to be maid!
Your description of the weather sounds a lot like Ohio. when I was a kid we used to pack away our winter clothes and get the summer clothes out and vice versa. now you just have big closets and you keep everything out because you might need shorts in December and you might need a winter coat in May.
Right?
Adam: "Weather that fluxuates between 40 and 80 in the same day needs three jackets!"
Me: Laughs in Michigander
@@fnsmike Yep, as a Wisconsonite, that sounds dreamy, non-jacket weather.
Yeah Ohio is nuts lately. I remember when we had seasons and it wasn’t so wet.
I’m glad you started looking into Fountain pens. That has been my COVID hobby. I started with a Lamy and have gifted one as well. It’s a great place to start. I don’t particularly like the grip section. I wonder how useful it will be in your making. Fountain pens tend to like ink resistant paper and don’t do great on other surfaces. I’m looking forward to see if you like it and expand to other pens, paper and ink.
Omg. I've watched this vid. Like a.dozen times. One of my favorite vids.
I used the exact same black Lamy Safari pen for about 14 years from elementary school through college. Still one of my favorite pens!
Adam, you are hands down my favorite friend that I have never met! You rock your fanny pack proudly, and Merry Christmas!
Honestly I've watched 99% of his videos and I don't recall ever seeing him with that on.
Same here
He hasn't worn it in any videos I've noticed. I've seen them all.
He's becoming a product announcer. Pretty soon his videos will be loaded with CZcams adds and half the video will be him hocking other people's stuff.
Really? Pretty much every video over the last year he's had it on
I have seen him wear it in several videos. He even says he doesn’t think it’s still available this would be a weird ad.
Also talking about gear has always been a part of this channel. I personally like Adam showing his EDC items.
Thanks. My personal hell in a short recap. I needed more. Been carrying a jansport big student for YEARS. Downsized to a fanny. Its tough but keeps it minimal.
I LOVE my Lamy fountain pen, they make a clear one which is super fun because you can see the innards while you’re using it!
Adam, given the condition of your fingers at any particular moment, I'd recommend a small package of band aids and a couple of alcohol/betadyne wipes. It's not much bigger than a couple of packs of gum, but damn handy when you need it.
Can you do a video on all of your favorite jackets?!? Thank you!!
UK viewer here.
We call them purses.
Adam I support your identity, regardless.
You be you.
I like it when people use hiking gear for professional tasks. It just makes sense
Kind of surprised he didn’t have a multi tool in his everyday bag lol
IKR?!?
He actually have a multitool in a home made holster in his belt. If i remember right it is a leatherman wave
Illegal in California...
@@moobcars6490 why??
@@Nylander2004 probably because it has a knife? Idk if not that
life's greatest struggle, having to decide which jacket to wear out the house
I started using a Lamy fountain pen earlier this year as well, after reading a mention of it in a Wirecutter article. I'd always thought of fountain pens as fiddly and prone to leaking and avoided them, but after giving it a try it's become a favorite.
I also carry a phone stand for photography. I used to carry one just like yours and then I came up with a smaller, lighter one made of two old credit-like cards. This works amazingly well and I would be happy to share an image of this.
Calling it now: sooner or later, Adam is going to turn his own fountain pen on a lathe.
My girlfriend (originally from the UK) drops in the room mid review. Smirks, churchgiggles *fannypack* lol (-::
I used that Lamy fountain pen in school ... about 35 years ago. They have been around for a long, long time!
Thank you Adam. Digging the channel.
"Let me show you it's features!"
I swear I heard Jörgs frightening laughter in my head.
My brain also went to this
@@scew8342 Frighteningly AWESOME laughter you mean! :D
@@LukeSeeleygamertagisV3XChintzy I'm VERY surprised he didn't do a hearty laugh!
You've got a man purse and I'm proud of you.
It´s funny that Adam bought this Lamy fountain pen as an adult and is so stoked about it. For german kids in primary school, this pen is like the default pen which is gifted to you by your grandparents at the age of 6. Most of my classmates used it and i used mine for well over 10 years as well. And he is right, its a great pen :)
I never knew I would so enthralled with seeing what’s in Adams man purse :)
Demerit badge idea: absent-mindedly gripping your soldering iron like a pencil.
Did that last night, like an idiot... fortunately it wasn't cranked up too high and I escaped with a minor 1st degree.
Twice in one week. Full on. Smells gross.
Hoping I've learnt my lesson. Time will tell.
"I am not getting into a lot of random cars"
Going home after work, keys here, phone here, hi Adam, work id here ...
Under appreciated joke
So where and when are we picking up the "package" and what kind of baklava (balaclavas) are we bringing?
Thats probably the best looking Fanny pack I've ever seen.
Oh man, I wore out so many of those Lamy fountain pens as a teenager at school here in the UK. That set off some serious unexpected nostalgia!
You *wore out* a fountain pen? How?
🎶"Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine!"🎶
Trying to be funny. Only my hosta get to sing that when I cut them back every fall ... And they'll be fine ....
Holy, that bag is expensive I would cry if I got it a quarter of how dirty Adam's is.
Zpaks sells virtually the same pouch on their website for $65. A mere $315 less than Tom charges for his version..
I was born in Florida where I have lived most of my life. When I was a child in the 70s we would often have an overnight freeze in the winter so that when you awoke in the mornings for school the grass was covered in frost. We would also have daytime temperatures in the low 30s at least once or twice in the typical year.
That stopped happening a long time ago. Now when the temperature gets close to freezing in my latitudes it's a rare event.
I have long dreamed of starting my own maker-space and providing jackets for all members who would then wear patches (provided by the maker-space) indicating the machines / areas they have been approved to use. It’s very exciting to see a maker I admire having similar thoughts (though admittedly funnier). I hope other makers / maker-spaces will do the same.
"long-ass show and tell", I was like "long?" and checked the time... thought only 3-4 mins had gone by, but already 14+.
Yeah.. the Lamy used to be the 'rich kid' option back in the day (when we had to write everything in fountain pen in school)
In Germany ist the alternative for children who don't want to write with their Pelikan any more.
I feel the same way! I never carried a bag besides work bags. I carry one to the store and anywhere I need to go now. I’m going with one of two Maxpedition bags for different purposes. Smaller pouches with PALS webbing on the back, but I slide an OFF-WHITE belt through and it’s a great, comfortable shoulder sling. Holds the gubbins and I can sanitize where I touch the bag while I don’t want to wipe sanitizer on a jacket. Jacket weather for me is 40 or less. Light chore coat, denim, sheepskin or horse hide... I run very hot
Haha, chuckling from the UK as soon as Adam said not to laugh at fanny pack 🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes, Lamy makes the best fountain pen´s. I own the same... :-)
But the other pens from Lamy are also great.
I love my 2k, but I don't think it's the best pen for a place like Adam's shop. ;)
"Makers prayer" demerit badge. When you're on your hands and knees looking for the small part you just lost.
have only been to San Francisco once back in 2008. My company sent me down to man the boot at the RSA show. It was in april that year. Googled what the weather was like, and what to wear, and saw it was similar weather to what Toronto gets at the time, so I packed accordingly. No shorts, some T' shirts, and a few hoodies outside of the uniform I had to wear at the show, and an outfit for a night out with the company.
We landed at 9 am on the sunday, expecting in the 60's. It was 98. It got up to 101 I think one of the days. I got lucky that one pair of pants were zip offs, and could take the legs off.
Absolute beautiful city. Though unexpected, the hot weather was pretty rejuvenating, after a peticularly cold winter in Toronto. The cold weather rolled back in on Thursday, along with the fog.
I have two of the lamys used them for years in school! They're amazing durable and write amazing! But if you like that lamy, check the lamy swift pen. It's an amazing piece of pen! The mechanics behind the clip disappearing and how smooth it works is just fantastic!
Instead of a fanny pack, I achieve a similar result with cargo pants, but yeah, in the rare times I wear jeans or chinos, I always have to switch all of my stuff to a shoulder bag. Being a chubby fella (though it's changed a lot lately), it's a bit more difficult to wear a fanny pack - it digs in when you sit down, it makes you look even bigger etc. Perhaps it's because I never found a right one, and I have to say - I dig the bigger area, but flatter profile.
I too am a cargo pants person. I will admit, the idea of not having to transfer as much stuff between pants does have it's appeal :P
Cargo pants wearers of the world, unite! 😁
That weather sounds like my personal hell. Why would you want the weather to be always the same? And why that miserable temperature range if it is always going to be the same?!
It depends what you are used to. If the place you love has cold misty autumn days, and you have to live somewhere like California, then you will miss the horrible misty weather. But if California is your favourite place in the world and you find yourself in Newfoundland, you will be miserable as hell.
got the olive one the other week - loving it. didn’t know you can throw it in the washer and it’ll be all good. cant wait to put in some serious hours on this thing
as someone who has been riding bikes for 10 years, hip paks is where I place almost everything I need on my daily commutes. might make my own that can serve also as a frame bag.

Never underestimate a man with a fanny pack, you never know what he's got hiding in there. Those nebo penlight are pretty awesome for the price I manage to use mine every day
Were those standard Bic mechanical pencils? Feels like Adam would have a particular favorite.
Its seems like everything that makes it easy for a male to carry everyday stuff is constantly being made a fashion faux pas. Fanny packs, man purses, messenger bags, even cargo pants and short are made fun of. I just want to carry my handful of items without having to use pants pockets or transferring it from one outfit to the other. Im old enough now to not give a crap but would like more utilitarian options like Adams bag.
I am honestly surprised there wasn't a pocket knife or "Leatherman" in there.
I think he mentioned that the knife got a pocket.
Probably a swiss army (he likes Victorinox) in his pocket.
The Lamy Passport is the BEST ever. I’ve been carrying one for the last 2ish months now, and it’s totally removed the Pilot and Schaeffer that I used to carry from my life. It’s SO reliable, so easy to service, so pleasurable to write with, and I love it. Get you one, if you like fountain pens.
Hey Adam
If someone hase not already told you. Fannypacks/bum-bags/beltpurses/butt trunks are the SH*** in Denmark a now and has been for a couple of years now. Not having to stuff everything into your pockets was a game changer.
We have 5 packs hanging at the door to the apartment and almost never leave without one.

Sorry still Funny ‘Fanny pack’ hehehehe still loving show from UK
As a lurker on Candle Power Forum, you need to do a video on that lunar/ apollo light. Doesn't need to be long, but it'd be cool.
Thank you for admitting your jacket obsession, I can relate. Also, after you've enjoyed your Lamy Safari for a bit, look at the Pilot Vanishing Point as your splurge upgrade, retractable/clicky with a gold nib that is ever so soft and smooth to write with! That is the best fountain pen that I've found.
Oh good, it’s just a fanny pack! I thought you were wearing an insulin pump or something medical like that. Great bit of kit, for sure.
Insulin pumps are uber small these days... they look like an old ipod nano or a pager.

For the holding loops, may I suggest using paracord with a wire threaded down the inside then just melt the 2 ends together. The wire would keep it open if that is what you wanted with the keyrings.

That fountain pen takes me back about 25 years. This was the fountain pen we had to buy for primary school to learn cursive writing with. Young me chewed on the end and it looks gruesome but I still have it ^_^ I got myself a new one about 5 years ago made of aluminium. Still use it to this day.
But we like to take the p out of a fanny pack haha 😂

Having been a bag guy for a long time, from shoulder bags, to backpacks. It's my organizational method. Other people do find it odd, but its the only way I'm ever organized.
On the note of hotel cards, I worked with a guy who kept his on a lanyard along with his "show tools" sharpie and maglight. The hotel staff would find it odd sometimes when he'd ask for it to be set for his room, but most often times they would do as he asked. Saved him a lot of lost keycard fees.
