    One thing I would implore anyone to consider when watching this video is... do I actually need this? CZcams videos love to make suggestions on products you should buy to both get views/subscribers and affiliate link revenue. I'm not here to tell you how to spend your money. Do what you want. I would, however, strongly suggest you consider how much you actually need any of these things. Maybe you realistically don't need any of these things, or maybe you would be perfectly fine with a much cheaper option that would accomplish the same thing. Save your money where you can.

    The Owala bottles are a game changer. I love that my straw is not exposed to the air. I can drink my water while driving and not have to tip my head back. And my drinks stay cold for a very long time. I own various sizes and colors. 🎉

    So one thing I got from Amazon that I love travelling with but also wear regularly, is the Everyday California ‘Floating Waterproof Snapback’ Surf Hat. It's normally a 34USD hat that is waterproof. Although, this means it doesn't breathe, I love travelling with it to rainy places like the UK and Norway. The material is soft and it folds decently well. It's by no means super packable, but you can fit it between packing cubes or rolled clothes. I just pack it in the corner of suitcases or backpacks like an L shape. I just like having something that I can wear when I expect to wear a rain shell as well.

  • @mhf0gamer
    @mhf0gamer Před měsícem +3

    I'm an owala convert as well! My criteria for settling for it are 1) straw accessible, 2) covered spout/straw, and 3) one-handable (aka easy to open and drink using only one hand). I've looked through the popular brands and none met my criteria except for owala. Added bonus is if the content gets low enough that the straw doesn't reach it anymore, i can just tilt it back and take a swig to completely empty it. No need to remove the whole cover.

    I was a Bellroy Venture Ready 2.5L "fanatic" myself, ever since it came out. But lately I tend to grab the Evergoods CAS2 more often than the Bellroy. Still like the Bellroy, but the CAS2 seems to be the perfect sling for me, since they updated it with the buckle at one end of the strap instead of the middle.

    Unlike you guys, I do use my two-sided packing cube for clean/dirty. Specifically, I have an Acteon double sided packing compression packing cube that I use for underwear. I do a lot of regular traveling that doesn't need me to wash on the go, so I just pack enough underwear for the whole trip (usually 5 days) and put the dirty stuff in the other side. It stays the same size because it's just clean to dirty and I know at a glance what is clean and dirty. I have convinced my family to do the same thing. It just takes the guesswork out of the clean-dirty situation and I get home knowing what to wash. For the amount I travel, it is super helpful. Also, I use the thin Arcade belt--it is a must have for me as a woman. And I swear by the Side by Side "Passport Pouch." it is small, lightweight, fits what I need for a travel day, and is small enough that no one thinks it is too big for me to just wear on the flight. It fits my phone, wallet, chapstick, my epi-pen, a small lotion container, a tiny pen (that it comes with), It is truly a game changer for me.

    I think the Anker 3-in-1 charger is better than the ESR since the Apple Watch charger is built into it and flips out from the bottom, it’s not a separate attachment that you can potentially lose.

    • @evshrug
      @evshrug Před 11 dny

      Agree with all your points, but ouch $109! I bought one that trades price for a much bulkier item… but every other point still holds up!
      -Less space in a bag than 3 separate chargers, 3 cables
      -More organized, more minimalist
      -MagSafe is THE BEST for aligning wireless charging!!
      -Horizontal mounting of a phone is great for viewing content, or making a clock/reminder screen when not in use.
      -Helps charging cables last longer because you (or THAT family member👋) are not resting the phone on top of a cable bent to 90°

    lunchbox labs Sling Bag is fast becoming my go-to for travel slings. It is a big bulkier than my usual sling, but can hold up a 24oz water bottle (including an Oawala), has security features on the zippers and strap, and is just minimal enough in its design to be used for anything from music festivals to sight seeing to conferences.

  • @evshrug

    My MOST essential Amazon EDC item: a RovyVon keychain flashlight.
    I’m surprised they didn’t mention lights in the video. Sometimes you need to see the bottom of your bag (particularly if the bag is lined in dark fabric), check charging ports for pocket lint, see a keyhole, look under your car, feel safe while walking along streets at night or ability to dazzle someone, etc. They can even improve photography or videos without causing the ugly flat look of phone cameras or loss of contrast, if you get a flashlight with a good bulb.
    I LOVE my RovyVon “A5.” It’s truly small, shorter than a house key so it can live comfortably on a keychain, even dangling from my car’s ignition without knocking on my tall-guy knees. Yet, it’s long enough to hold without being fiddly. It also glows in the dark, making it easier to find my keys sometimes. The single light switch controls a lot of modes, but it’s intuitive: click once to turn it on at low brightness - to save power, save night vision, and just look at something up close like in a bag - make it a step brighter with each single press, double click to turn it off, and if you need max brightness at any point just hold the button down - MUCH brighter than any phone, even with the special LED bulb. It’s a Nichia C bulb which has almost the full visible spectrum contained in its white light, so it really makes colors pop in photos & videos without introducing any flickering or unhealthy looking color tints. The battery is rechargeable, and even after 4 years I can still rely on it for over a month’s use. It’s the kind of product that had me stop looking for something “better” after 6 years of looking, and as I said I have used this almost daily for four years.

      @evshrug Před 11 dny

      I was gifted the same TomToc Compact EDC sling (4.5L) except mine is in the “inky blue” color… I would have rather had any other color combo (except the basic black with invisible black interior), but you can’t really look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
      I love it, bring it with me everyday to keep a consistent place for cables and keys/wallet regardless of my pants choice, and it was absolutely awesome for taking out my Nintendo Switch Lite whenever I had to wait for something. Less social media doom scrolling 😂 The Inky Black colorway does have a light gray interior, which does help me see contents better than black fabric would have.

They work great without the flop and help compress the shoes together flat. I think it goes without saying they don't work for boots, but its a little space saving hack I use to keep things tight.

      @LayaWhite While what you say is true in many respects, it kinda takes away the weight that the consumer should carry, themselves, by abusing online purchasing. There are definitely good reasons not to have malls with the advent of online shopping, but it's too easy for large online business to take more money in a sitting than they "should". Money that can keep local places going.
      I don't live in a huge town, albeit bigger than yours, and I've seen in the last few years a 40+ year old shoe store, 40+ year old hardware store, and a 30+ year old book store all close down. They weren't ripping people off and were well loved but still closed. Pandemic was the nail in the coffin for good local business.
