I have that same Sun Hoodie from REI. Used it hiking in Zion. Worked well.
That’s great! Really solid for me too so far
Have the travel towel. Found it useful recently ❤
Glad to hear it!
thank you for the sun hoodie suggestion. they actually had them in Tall sizes which is always my issue in finding shirts that fit, and with thumb holes, and on sale in a decent color!
Finding tall sizes is such a rarity! Happy to share, I’ve been really happy with mine.
I wear these Arcade belts regularly. When I travel, I only bring these belts. I've never had to remove the belt when going through US TSA or in other countries when traveling internationally. 10/10 must recommend
So glad to hear it! Seems like a handful of people around here have had some bad luck but I’ve had zero issues with mine from all of my flights the past couple of years.
Just getting into coffee, I would like to see a video on your setup and prep for your coffee if you don’t mind.
I’ll probably be making an updated video sometime soon! Made some changes/upgrades over the past year that I’ve been really happy with.
Thermarest pillow has a permanent spot in my one bag travel. Well worth it for good sleep.
Absolutely! I don’t think I can ever go back to anything else for my outdoor backpacking, we’ll worth the weight and bulk for way better sleep.
I might have mentioned it but for facial hair care (I kind have a similar beard like yours) I carry the Wahl micro groomsman. It details and cleans any rogue hair quickly. And if I want to remove it nothing beats a mach3
I used a Wahl for about a decade and really loved it! It finally died on me last year and ended up replacing it with one from Norelco. So far it’s been great but I’ll keep this in mind!
I can attest that after 100's of flights I have never removed my Arcade belts in any country. Before I had TSA pre-check I would occasionally get asked about my belt and I would just reply nicely that it is 100% plastic and won't show up on the scan. After speaking candidly with TSA agents during my travels, they generally just want to avoid having to slow up the line to search someone with a big metal belt buckle. If you can give them the knowing traveler nod they will usually not push back.
Glad to hear another good experience through tsa with them outside of my own! Maybe it’s the traveler nod like you mentioned, I haven’t had any issues in 20+ flights so far
I probably taken 15 to 20 flights with my belt and never had to remove it either. I've been asked to remove it, but as soon as I say that it's plastic they say never mind.
I can attest that the generic cheap belt I bought from Target has never been removed in the 18 or so flights I've taken in the last few years. Its not plastic but it doesn't make the machine's alarms go off. But to be fair, I've also had previous belts from Target and I have had to remove some of those.
I am the same mate, never take mine off
That Bluetooth receivers is dope. Thank you!
Happy to share!
i have that adult acne, too: the standard benzoyl peroxide soaps works pretty good for me, but i'm using the 4% and might go down a bit. the Matador travel bottle is super cool, and i've never seen it before, so this is a cool thing!
I’m pretty sure I have a type of rosacea but haven’t had the desire to spend the cash at a derm to find out. Been keeping it under control pretty well the past few months luckily, I’ll be sure to keep that soap in mind!
I'm fond of Dr Bronner's tea tree oil soap for my acne. It's what I use every day, and my skin always feels so nice after washing.
Arcade belts are the jam. Been through TSA about 80 times this year and never an issue
Glad to hear it! Seemed like I handful of people around here have had difficulty but they’ve always been great for me.
Your best most useful video yet! Thank you.
Happy to share, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you
Happy to share, thanks for the support!
I have had the Aeropress for a few years and love it. Makes a great cup. I need a better grinder. I’ll check that one out.
It’s been really solid for me!
I have the Matador travel bottle and really liked it but I found that in long travels the liquids inside tend to dry out and leave a residue inside it. Recommend it but be mindful that it shouldn’t be used to store liquids for when you return from your trip.
I haven’t stored any liquid long term since getting it last year, definitely good to know! Appreciate you giving the heads up for everyone
Had a similar experience. Also had a hard time cleaning it all the way out! Any tips and tricks would be amazing 🙏
Same issue here, put some suncreen in it and it turned into yellow grease ruining the bottle. Terrible design, no idea what they were thinking allowing the contents to dry out. Great for the soap bar case though.
Great vids mate, keep it up :)
Thanks so much!
Any thoughts on the large matador travel towel vs the matador poncho?
I had no idea the poncho existed! Really neat concept as a robe replacement but I’d imagine it would get a bit annoying to use as a traditional towel. Haven’t tried it though so I could be way off, I’ll have to keep it in mind!
“A Coffee Ad With Some Other Info”
I went on a pretty long (unsponsored) rant about my coffee details before mentioning PERC. It wasn’t required or paid or anything, I just really love talking about coffee stuff when I get the chance.
Any chance on a hat/cap vid? Always intrigued by yours 😅 thanks for the content!!
I try to cover some of them during my seasonal EDC updates, but a dedicated video could be fun sometime down the road! Always happy to send over a link in the comments too if you see one you want to check out.
I love watching your videos.....curious, which watch you are wearing in this one? I'm assuming a Casio ;). But I love the orange color and curious which model?
Definitely a Casio! I don’t think there’s stock anymore but it was a gshock x nasa collab from a few years ago. One of my favorites for sure, the orange is a really fun pop of color.
Is your watch Casio? Thank you for sharing 👋🏻
It is! Was lucky enough to grab the last NASA collab they did.
Have you had any issues with the travel pillow? Do you feel the plastic little clip that is on the bottom side of the pillow when you sleep on it? Great vid as always!
No issues at all for me! The amount of foam definitely covers the plastic clasp, I’ve never felt it. I’ve had about 20-25 nights using it while backpacking and it’s been great. Not as nice as a big home pillow but a huge upgrade from inflatable.
Thanks a bunch!
What is the watch you are wearing, can you please share the link of the model
Sure! It’s the last NASA x G-SHOCK collab. These sell out pretty fast so it’s out of stock unfortunately, but you might be able to still find one around somewhere. Here’s the Casio page for it: tinyurl.com/yc64atks
These two products are all you need for adult acne. CeraVe gentle facial cleanser and differin adapalene gel. Use any spf moisturizer.
I appreciate the offer to help but I think your incorrect in thinking two products covers any and all acne problems for everybody.
I don't understand why everyone loves the Matador bar soap pack so much. I travelled with it for 5 months using Dr Bronner's soap bar and it was always slimy and wet inside. The soap only dries if you leave the pack open for an hour after showering, which isn't ideal when checking out of hostels first thing in the morning after a shower. I saw a video on CZcams comparing it to a Ziploc bag. It doesn't do much better.
Not sure why you’ve had so much trouble with it, mine has been pretty consistently dry in my experience. Hopefully you find something that’s a better fit soon!
Sorry for the rant. I just had to get that off my chest lol
But I ended up making holes in the bottom to help drain left over water. I think it's a bit better now
Hello From a long time viewer,
For me, Arcade belts are the worse to go through TSA. The reason is the way TSA reads my gender at security points. I am a women who wears baggy or men’s clothes. With that, I had purchased the belt as to help avoid having to always get pat down when going through airport security. Unfortunately this was made worse on the four separate occasions that I have used to the belt. Each time it has caused to be stopped & pat me down. With the last trip we’re the confiscated my belt as they stated it is not allowed in the airport (JFK airport). Josh is right that your mileage will very with the arcade belt, but for me it was more trouble that it was worth it.
So sorry to hear you’ve had trouble with yours! Hopefully a better option comes up for you sometime to avoid the trouble.
Having gone through the whole melanoma removal nightmare I can tell you that you're more likely to get it in areas not exposed to the sun.
No doubt that preventing sun exposure isn’t a catch all, but the risk seems unnecessary to me
@@joshfenn I should have opened with how much I enjoy your videos, so I apologize for letting my alarmist out. I just hate to see others have to go through this.
No worries at all! I appreciated the insight and am sad to hear you had to go through that.
nice watch! :) is that a g shock?
Thanks! Good eye as well, it’s the most recent nasa collab that they did. Found one for retail late last year and scooped it up immediately. One of my favorites!
Can you explain “third wave water?”
Happy to! Learned about them a while back from James Hoffman’s channel and they ended up sponsoring a video last year. They essentially make mineral blend packets that you add to water to make ideal ‘coffee water’ for brewing. Makes a huge difference in overall taste and water is often overlooked for coffee even though it’s a main ingredient.

Do the USB-C batteries support USB-C to USB-C cables? I'm currently conducting a personal holly war against all non USB-C USB ports (USB-A, MicroUSB). It's definitely a war of attrition but I believe the tides are turning in my favor.
Haha I commend your efforts and totally get it! They’ll charge with a c-c cable but it’d have to be one at a time so that may be more trouble than it’s worth depending on your situation.
Alright what watch is that? And why isn’t it featured?? Lol
It’s the most recent G-SHOCK x NASA collab! Was lucky enough to find one in stock a while back for retail. It’s out of stock, but here’s the link if you want to check it out in more detail: tinyurl.com/yc64atks
@@joshfenn super nice! I love my G Shocks!
Please do a video about male adult acne.
I don’t feel like I have much to contribute in terms of solutions, especially with everyone’s situation being so different, but I’ll keep it in mind!
Use anti fungal washing liquid for the stinky shirts.
Any brands you’d recommend? I can definitely keep this in mind!
@@joshfenn Canesten antifungal antibacterial laundry rinse. And never put those shirts in with undergarments: they absorb everything🤣🤣😂. If you keep thise shirts away from socks etc they wont smell
skin cancer huh, i have a 2 in 3 chance of getting it, mainly bc i live in australia but atleast we have good health care over here so ye
always good to look at the positive haha
