You’re videos never disappoint. So much better than the typical “what’s in my bag” video
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you're diggin the content!
need to see Leah's what it's my backpack
Haha, I'm the exact opposite in terms of backpack pockets. I cannot STAND more than like 3, lmao. However, a water bottle holder on each side is a must 😛
Haha well I suppose we don’t have to agree on everything 😜👍🏼 thanks for the comment
I have a Jansport Right Pack. I love the minimal pockets (keeps it light and comfortable) and I personally hate water bottle pockets - I either carry my water bottle or keep it inside the bag.
i just bought a jansport backpack and i have no issues or concerns so far, i love it
"...and... It was on sale." So me! Love me some sales deals.
Great video, but I’m disappointed you didn’t give a shoutout to the company who made your little snack bags. Colibri is a Canadian company creating reusable snack bags that are fully washable so you can eliminate ziplock bags. Please check out the great work that they are doing.
Yeah I realized this after I finished editing the video! Thanks for pointing them out!
Levi Hildebrand I’m sure they’ll make the highlight reel in another video. It’s great to have more awareness in Canada!
Also they make the nicest washcloths
Awesome video! My problem right now is I want to have products from better companies that are B certified or just reflect my beliefs better... But I only recently got into purchasing this way. My 5 year old backpack still works great so I can't justify getting a new one, even if I donated it I'm not positive it would find a new home! Same thing with clothes... Nike is a pretty terrible company all around but the running gear I have by them will at least last a while. Reusing what I have is better for the earth... But it doesn't advertise more eco friendly products to others. It's a tough choice.
Hey you're just making your way into it! My old toothbrush is plastic but it's still good! Just gradually make that transition because like you said, you've got stuff already that works in the meantime. Thanks for the comment!
I’m in this too so I feel ya. I think it’s better to use what we have till it can’t be used anymore because at least we got the most life out of them.
For the Nike gear you could always when possible try to remove the logo. If it’s old then it may already be peeling off. I’m 22 and I still have leggings from Nike that I bought when I was 14 and they’re nowhere near in need of replacement BUT the small logo on the side finally rubbed off entirely so if you’re lucky and with a little help from some strong fingernails yours may come off as well and voila, you’re not advertising for Nike anymore.
Don't forget that when those Nikes fall apart, Nike will take them back to turn into recycled athletic and playground surfaces (and they'll take other brand sneakers, too). So it's not a total waste. Next time you can buy more sustainable sneakers...and then recycle those via Nike or other such programs when they're dead as well. recyclenation.com/2012/08/nike-reuse-shoe-program/
@@sonipitts thanks for this. I've heard of it but I usually donate my shoes to a second hand store or homeless program or something. Thats having grown out of them or whatever though, if my shoes fall apart or are unusable I'll look into this.
When your bag wears out and needs to be replaced, check out Tom Bihn bags. Made in Seattle. I love them because they're designed around the principles of space economy and usability. The bags have great built-in pockets, along with O-rings positioned strategically throughout that you can use to clip on pouches, pockets, and other accessories to suit your needs. I've had my Synapse 19 for about 7 years of hard use, and it's still going strong! I've had a couple of repairs done over the years, but the lifetime warranty means they did the repairs at no cost to me. (I also have one of their now-retired Smart Alec bags, which I use for hiking and traveling light.)
Thanks for this Sharon! This is the second recommendation for them so I’ll definitely scope them out!
Seconded!
No cap but Levi is a everyday super hero for the planet and you can’t change my mind 🤷🏽♀️
Great video! This past year I have become a lot more environmentally-conscious and have already been taking steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Your videos help me improve my knowledge on the topic and give me many more ideas to integrate into my life! So thank you for that 😊
Hey thanks for this message! I’m so happy that the channel has been helpful for you and I’m stoked that you’re on the team!
This definitely inspired me to keep my old backpack and just rework where I place the things I need for work and school. Thanks!
I have the same Sea to Summit set! I originally got it for backpacking/camping, but when I saw how convenient it was for everyday use (and that it takes up less space than my glass and tupperware containers) it became an item that stays in my bag 24/7. Glad other people know about them.
So cool! I have used it a few more times for zero waste stuff on the go and dang they are nifty!
I've been using a waterproof Ortlieb bike bag everyday for 3 years for commuting, grocery shopping / other errands, pretty much everything. It's been remarkably durable considering what I put it through. I personally like the "big dry bag to throw stuff in" type of backpack, but it also has a laptop sleeve and a small zip pouch on the outside. Could sure use more little pockets though.
I like having multiple pockets too. Helps with keeping organized.
I recommend using a vacuum-filled or a piston-filled fountain pen instead of using disposable gel pens. Also, fountain pens have a smoother writing experience.
Alaz Demir not great for left handed people, black hand and smears lol
I was wandering around Brighton earlier and realised that I've basically got an eating pouch on my little bag and it made me very happy
Last year I invested in a Timbuk2 Tuck Pack (its one of the roll top ones) and I don't think I've ever loved a back this much, I'm also based out of Vancouver and so the weatherproofing is an absolute must!
I've been a "one-bagger" and also a big EDC bag person for a long time. However you've convinced me to add a spork and chopsticks (I do live in Asia, so that makes sense) to my EDC bag to help save from plastic utensils! Thanks!
You could sew/have someone sew an additional mesh pocket on the other side of your bag, as well as add some extra pockets on the inside. You'd end up with a unique bag tailored to you, with little to no additional waste! I'm about to take my favourite bag to a tailor this weekend to see if they can add some side pockets! :)
If your bag ever bites the dust, I'd recommend the Tom Bihn Synapse. BIFL for sure, tough as nails and TB stands behind their products, and if you like organization and customization there's not many that do it better.
Here in Australia (maybe also overseas) there are bamboo toothbrushes so that their is a mostly biodegradable alternative to standard toothbrushes
Just found a stainless steel airtight reusable container at my local thrift store 🤙 trying to reduce the waste I create a little at a time. Thanks for inspiring me!
1:33 that collab was actually the thing that introduced me to yoy
great video!!! lots of backpack inspiration !
😍 2 of your edc items come from my hometown (Chicobags and Klean Kanteen), Chico California! Thanks my dude!
Dude nice! That's so cool, I love them both a ton!
i went to chico state!! we have a lot of pride for klean kanteen lol
Thanks for sharing! Great to see what others carry in their bags. I really like the Nimble charging bank you have, and don't have one of my own right now. Looks like they only ship to the US. Do you happen to know of any means of getting one of these in Canada?
If you ever need a new bag you'd probably love the Tom Bihn Synapse 25 or one of the new Synik backpacks
Check out the Tom Bihn Synapse backpack or the 'coming soon' style with dedicated laptop compartment, Synik backpack.
Love your videos and backpacks, excellent video!!
Thank you my friend!
It’s great to see a more realistic “what’s in my bag” video! 👍
My friend has a backpack that originally didn’t have a water bottle pocket, so she sewed some mesh on there and made one herself. Something to think about if you really want one or some more little pockets!
you're very inspiring, thank you
I highly respect you and your beliefs. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be as environmental as I am now. Thank you, Levi!
Oh man, Josh this means so much man. Wherever you are at I’m stoked that you’re on the team 🙏🏼🙋🏻♂️
I love the Chico bag thanks man less plastic is always good
Agreed! Thanks for leaving a comment!
I had the authority briefly, I returned it and got a Patagonia Refugio. I agree about the pockets on both.
There’s so much product placement in the videos on this channel that I think it’s worth constantly reiterating that people should buy used or not buy new things unless they really need the thing BEFORE choosing a good company to buy new things from. I know you say those things, but I’d be saying them more. These vids definitely make people want to buy stuff.
How old is Nada, the store? Because we’ve had a store like that in my hometown in Australia for up of 20 years now. It’s incredibly successful and the town is so into zero waste that there’s now a second bulk store in a town that’s not massive.
I have a bag clipped to every handbag I own. Best idea I ever had. BTW you can get collapsible straws on eBay...but sadly it came in a plastic sleeve, I was not impressed. I figure it’s still less though because it’s so small I carry it everywhere and I never use disposable straws now.
You should have more subs, I agree! Solid video as always. Thanks Levi.
Thanks Quinn! Stoked to have you on the team my friend 🙋🏻♂️👍🏼
I too have a timbuk2 got it about 3 years ago and it was also on sale when I bought it lol
Haha that’s hilarious. And if it’s like mine it’s an absolute tank and hasn’t had any problems.
@@LeahandLevi funny that we are talking about it I literally just bought another bag for a heck of a price ! I actually went to San Francisco to buy it though
You can use old tooth brushes as cleaning brushes for your bike chain and other stuff
Yes! I might actually do that because my chain is diiiiiirty!
Im trying to plant a tree right now 😰it’s so hot out but it’s worth it.
Hahaha this is such an awesome update. Keep at it!
Levi Hildebrand when fall comes, I’m going to plant a few trees in the front yard 👊🏽😤. So excited
Coif Ink. A lemon tree
Chanced upon this video since I’ve been watching videos about bags! Subbed because I advocate for sustainability, too! Guess who’s gonna binge-watch your videos on a weeknight 😂
Boooooom! Haha thanks for becoming a part of the team! Hit that notification bell because my next video is gonna be about the Fjallraven Kanken backpack!
If you want more organization in that main compartment but don’t want to get a new bag, consider getting a Tom BIHN Freudian slip. The s25 or s19 one will probably fit in the main compartment and add a ton of organization. To get stuff you need, just lift the slip out - it beats digging stuff up from the bottom of your bag. I use one and it works great.
Woah this is a pro tip! Thanks for the heads up!
I actually have that beer cozy in my bag it’s ok in a pinch
That seatosummit collapasble bowl?! I didnt even know existed! My main issue with not already carrying around a reusable container that I already own is a weight/bulk issue. Im hesitant to buy one new but ill be on the look out for one on ebay! Thanks!!
I had 2 timbuk2 bags and they are not durable as I would expect to their price tag.
Both bags were ruin after 1 year of normal home-work-gym use (+ additional small fixes to the bags during the year).
I would recommend you to try STM backpacks. I have one for 2 years now, and it is still looks and function great.
Have you ever checked out Tom Bihn bags? They're amazing, handmade, lifetime warranty, and tons of pockets and O rings to clip things too, they also last forever. I absolutely love them.
I am so glad that this video popped up on my feed
I'm so glad this comment popped up in my notifications ;)
tbh, you're so wholesome to watch
I bought a highserria backpack from Costco that's a beast ( well few more pockets and one more water mesh) .
Only down side why i hated it and went back to my big student jansport cause the bag wasn't roomy. More pockets don't mean more space for this bag. The bag would expand/lump up to capacity with less stuff than my jansport.
maybe all these backpack pocket people should design something better than the bags out now
Yeah I've looked into other bags a few times but at a certain point you just gotta work with what you have because nothing is going to be perfect. Sounds like you've got a pretty solid option there.
I was actually about to buy a kanken today. I'm definitely waiting until your kanken review video comes out before I make that purchase.
Yeah good call! It's my next video! hit that notification bell!
I have some Chico bags that are almost 10 years old and they are still going strong!
That container is clutch
Cool store!
If you need more pockets you could get some in-bag organizer. Maybe some of local crafters could make it for you
Very good and well thought out. I never thought of the lock, and have needed one, so thanks for that. Do you use a refillable fountain pen? I have saved a lot of waste with mine I think.
No I never thought of that! Good idea though, might be a fun upgrade to reduce waste!
Sidenote: video reminds me of when someone first ever pegged me for a Pacific Northwest accent because we tend to say something approximating "bayg" to various degrees. Blew my mind.
Levi, have you considered using non-disposable pens? I use fountain pens only and haven't bought disposable pens in about 3 years
So solve your pocket problem you should have some daisy chains sewn to the inside of your bag and then you can use different daisy chain pocket accessories to meet your pocket loving needs.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!😀
just ordered a pela case after seeing your video...they didn't have any of the cool animal covers for galaxy so that was their biggest con imo so apple centric
Can’t you sew another bottle holder?
That would be too easy lol
Haha yeah I suppose I could. My home ec skills are a little less than polished but I have a few projects I'd like to tackle!
Levi Hildebrand you could always just take it to a tailor and they could do it for like $20
I love your videos!
I’ve never been so early!! And love the vid!! Can you do some vlogs as well?
Thanks for clicking that notification! I thought of vlogging but not for the near future!
my bag has a elephant tool, screw driver, spitfire park wheels, paint pens and some Gatorade
5:50 That was cheeky and smart and I loved it. Had subscribed prior, but wanted to be in tune with the timing of things, so, I unsubscribed and then I subscribed again.
Love that he uses the sun to light his video
You could probably add more pockets and another bottle holder by getting some fabric and hand sewing it on. It's actually not that difficult for pockets, just a square piece of fabric sewn on 3 sides.
Great video! Try bamboo toothbrushes and Bite Toothpaste. I have a slight preference over Bite in comparison to the Lush one that you have in this video.
Thanks for the recommendation my friend! I’ll keep them in mind 👍🏼
Omg I love "what's in my bag videos"
Wow, I’m surprised by the amount of high schoolers in the comments that are interested in the environment. That’s awesome! Levi, I’m sure your videos are helping so much to spread the eco conscious message. Love your videos man!
Thanks Emily! I am always so hyped to see people younger than me reacting and responding to my videos. Gives me hope for the future!
i'm buying the chicobags!!
Do you find that the sea to summit container collapses in your bag when it’s full of food? How sturdy is it?
You can still purchase this bag for $79. I got it used on ebay. Thanks for sharing its exactly what I've been looking for :-)
I just bought my new Canada goose jacket I luv it so much can u review one of those ?
You may already know this, but there's another company, Bite, that sells toothpaste tablets in glass bottles which ship completely plastic free. They taste like those butter mint candy things; you might like them better. Awesome content as usual, great work.👍
I have that shirt!!
Are their any earth 🌎 friendly school supplies brand you recommend ? I think it would be really great for students going back to school.
Great question! I don't know many off the top of my head I would probably just try and do most things digitally for now?
If digital isn’t possible all I can think is refillable pens instead of disposable pens and using a high quality mechanical pencil instead of wooden
Fountain pens, a well made mechanical pencil and recycled notebooks.
@@justanormaldude42069 commenting 6mos. Later but I find fountain pen inks typically don't play well with recycled paper. Fibers get stuck between the times. If your going to try, use the finest nib you can.
you have nice writing !
Haha yeah that's what being forced to learn cursive in elementary school will do to ya I guess. Thanks for the compliment.
I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do the toothy tabs actually save waste? you only get so many tabs compared to a large tube of toothpaste. Is the bottle easier to recycle than the tube?
Great question! I looked into this and you're right. Toothpaste tubes aren't recyclable in any way. Also these tabs come in a container that Lush refills for you. They also make you realize how much sugar we have in regular toothpaste...
@@LeahandLevi there's no sugar in common toothpaste, it tastes sweet(ish) because of artificial sweeteners like saccharin or xylitol, which despite their 'chemical' names are pretty benign.
Enjoyed the video.... :) I have a bag full of produce bags and reusable shopping bags, plus my water bottle, a glass container and a wooden spoon.... that is about it.... :) Also me and my husband will try our best to have a nice as waste free celebration of our wedding as possible this September in Canada.... :)
Awe that’s awesome! So cool to hear you’ve got a little kit set up there! Congratulations on your wedding!
Levi Hildebrand Thank you very much! :)
Hello! New subscriber here btw!! 🙆♀️I really enjoy your videos!!!
But I got one question... do you know trust website where I can buy second hand electronics!?😬
Thanks for joining the team! You can always check out the apple refurbished page on their website? I always buy my tech second hand off places like craigslist. Takes some research but you can usually save a lot of money.
If you like a backpack with many pockets i would buy a pinqponq. Its a german company and they are fair trade certificated.
Hi Levi
How many bags do you think you could fit in this bag?
Thanks,
Oli
Hey Oli,
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck? Lol jk
Probably a whole bunch?
Levi
Levi Hildebrand I don’t know. Can you tell me some more details? How many years in the logging industry does he have? How long is he logging for? Is he above or below average fitness? I will do my best to answer but I need more.
Levi you could see if you can DIY those things you don’t like about your bag. You can find a zipper at a thrift store and sew a zipper on your wallet pocket (zippers are very easy to hand-sew) and sew a pouch on the side of your bag. I know DIYs are time-consuming but it could get more mileage and enjoyment out of your bag.
Very true! I really wanna fix up a pair of old Jean shorts I’ve been wearing for a while too! Maybe I’ll make a night of it!
You should get the rocket book notebook so you can reuse the paper and stuff
Anybody know what the water bottle at 1:42 is?
Always need more than ten pockets!
Ah this guy is aligned with my principle...backpack!!!!
14:14 sounds a lot like an Irish coffee
Why buy a case for your hard drive when the sunglasses case already works? Why buy a new food container when everybody already has one they can keep in their bag?
Is it weird that I loved the growlers? Where are they from?
Hi Levi,
How do you come across these products?
I follow cool companies on Instagram and stuff like that. Once you get into a community like this one you start to learn about cool products that can help you on your way. 👍🏼
Great video reddit browsing Jason Biggs!!
Damn Dave Franco is on point with his travel advice
You know you could sew in some extra pockets yourself. I'm pretty sure there are some videos somewhere that would show you how to do it. Heck...just stick and sew a few patches of velcro and then attach different pouches &/or pockets as needed.
Wher Evan I get that bag with the wooden knife and spoons and stuff?
Hey there! They’re called Colibri but they might just be in Canada!
please review the new klean kanteen bottle!
that bottle opener on the bag 👀
lol yeah I've never actually used it.
😭😭😭😭😭 @me melting seeing the leather patch ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
