FULL DISCLOSURE:
The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
AFFILIATE LINKS:
No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.

Pretty sure Bo is the most trustworthy person on CZcams.
Hyperbole. But, he is in the top tier of trustworthiness. 😊
Thanks, Ian. Really appreciate it. Means a lot
Had to Google hyperbole 😅 appreciate your trust. Thanks ✌️😊
@@apmartini70 lol kinda goes without saying that he was exaggerating bro.
@@divinelyshpongled Aware. I was as well.
Love these types of videos. Hoping the jobs flood in soon. Having listens to your talk with chase , agree he has an incredible personality and entertainment element, but this was just as entertaining. More videos like this!
Thanks for the positive feedback. Happy to hear that you enjoy this new style
Get that bag Bo. I enjoy your content and it makes me happy to hear you are finding additional ways to ensure you're supported!
Thank you very much ✌️😉
Nothing could possibly damage your integrity Bo... you're very clearly a quality human being and we know you're completely unbaised. Put whatever ads make you money and enable you to continue making your awesome review videos. As long as the brand is relatively ethical and not scamming people, I reckon you're good. All the best bro.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Really appreciate your trust
Wow, what a great video I got news on the economy, knife review, how to cook, key organization tool and sling review. Love the video.
Thank you very much 😊✌️
I used to have a SMART fortwo and I "LOVED" it. Diesel, CDI. I regret having sold it.
Living in the UK and it’s crazy here for cost of living. Total crisis right now… I was in Germany recently and I thought things were so much cheaper than in the UK but definitely more expensive than in the past!
Damn. That sucks as well. I assume brexit didn't make it easier as well 😔
I bought this sling a few months ago and it has been excellent. I use it for everything. The size is in that perfect range too for all my edc.
That's awesome. Happy to hear that you like it as well
Love your videos! 👍🏽 I wonder if your Orbitkey / S biner combo would be able to clip on to the little alpaka tag on the side of the sling bag, freeing up some room in the front compartment 🤔 could be possible especially with a little bit of paracord
Thanks. The sbiner is pretty big so it doesn't fit in there that easily unfortunately. But I can hang it to the shoulder strap
Hey Bo. I keep seeing this in your videos and it looks convenient...what is the over-your-shoulder dog leash that you are using?
It's from a local shop who makes them build to order
I used to own a marketing agency, and I totally hear you on the ebb and flow of work. You should totally be a consultant for brands. I think that's what Chase does or did sometimes, gathering from what he's mentioned in past videos.
Harness your knowledge to pick up extra streams of income 💪 I always wondered why you didn't include affiliate links way back when, but glad to see you're doing it now.
Thanks for the feedback. Happy to hear that you support this idea
My everyday carry is a white X-pack camera bag sling. It is around 7 litres but can, if needed carry all the essentials, my Sony A6700 SLR, a spare lens and my Dell 8" tablet, keyboard and mouse.
The white material does show up the dirty and although I can wash it down it will never be really white again.
With end of life of Windows 10 I am looking for a replacement 8" tablet convertible. I can't find one with a higher end specification. Larger convertibles means going to a small backpack.
Thanks for sharing your loadout. And thanks for watching
The X-Pod can be pretty bulky and I have been looking for a bit for a possible replacement. This Alpaka bag looks very interesting
It's definitely a good addition to the xpod
Wahhh nice vid bo!
Thank you very much
Hi Bo! Also off topic: Where is your pink beanie from? I love it!
Hey Bo. Long time fan and enjoying these longer blogs (i have a newborn and you're my late night entertainment lol). Things are a bit more expensive in Japan. Not as bad as when i visited the US last year but wages arent keeping up unfortunately
Happy to hear that you like these longer videos. Congratulations on the newborn
Same here in Estonia , everything is so expensive. Prices are basically the same as Germany but the wages are much lower too. I take trips to Lidl to buy frozen pizzas.
The sponsorship idea is great, you create free content for us and you deserve to make more income with it.
Love your jacket!
Thank you very much. But it's sad to hear that everything is so expensive over there as well.
In terms of comfort, how would you rate between this Alpaka Go Sling Nano, Evergoods CAS2 , and Bellroy Chimera Sling? Which would you recommend if only 1 bag is allowed?
Good question. In terms of comfort the Chimera has the most padded strap and therefore is the most comfortable. But it is also the biggest of the three. If I had to choose between the three it would be a draw between the Evergoods cas2.5 and the go sling nano. If I had to carry a bit more the cas has the edge. But overall the smaller go sling nano is the one I grab more often because I don't want a big bag with me
@@Youknowthebo thanks for your insight! I meant the CAS2 from evergoods. I mixed it up with Bellroy Venture Sling 2.5. Keep up the great production!
Der Schnauzer steht dir sehr gut!
Vielen Dank. Wollte mal was neues ausprobieren 😅
Regarding the sponsors: No worries Bo, we all have to pay our bills.
The Alpaka looks nice, but I will stay on team Heimplanet 😎
And I like the relative "stability" of your EDC, while interesting, I always find it a bit strange that some CZcamsrs switch out their entire gear every month just for the sake of switching out gear 😉
Also: Everytime I see it I really want a first generation Smart. Cool little things.
Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. The Smart car is great. But water gets inside 😂
Off topic. What manufacturer/model are your eyeglasses?
It's from a glasses store here in Germany called "Kind"
What wrist watch model are you wearing??
It's a Steinhart ocean 500 titanium. Here is my review of it czcams.com/video/XIphEWP2o-w/video.htmlsi=sUq6GX7WwLtUr9R5
Data Crew Sling or Chrome Sling! Rock them both!
Those look interesting. Would love to test them in the future
I feel you, it's expensive in Germany, Austria (shoutout to @SurvivalLilly for keeping us informed!), and quite bad in the U.S. also, with 70% increases in food and housing prices. We're looking into a lot more self-sustaining solutions, dehydrating meals, growing herbs and vegetables, stretching bulk shopping as much as possible. Hang in there, Bo, we'll all pull through together!
Thank you very much for the supportive words
Dude just whipped up a German version of ketoprak. 😅
😂 now that you say it, it sure is a version of it
Speaking about brands, why aren't there more youtubers review Tumi, Thule etc in comparison with Bellroy, Alpaka, Peak Design etc?
I can only speak from my perspective: I don't review these "mainstream" brands that are predominantly readily available in most cities in brick and mortar stores. I like to review products that mostly are only available via Internet and people do need a review, because they can't check it out for themselves
Maybe could explore that to gain more viewers and transition them into exploring lesser known brands. I agree seems like most bag CZcamsrs review the same brands all the time.
I'd like to see those comparisons
How about making an online course on how to be a film editor? Sounds like it would be a good source of passive income.
I thought about it. But I rather do like one on one video sessions. I did some coaching sessions in the past. Maybe I should advertise this a bit more
I have been looking for a sling bag for awhile myself, I still stuck with backpacks for a bit since I still use a laptop and haven't made the switch to fully using a tablet I have in the past they are nice..
On being a freelancer I know about that, since I'm a retired Freelance Media person I guess that is current label 🤣
In my opinion world events have changed the economy a lot, Media work is changing with new technology aka the dreaded AI is changing that and will change it even more as the software gets stronger, even the newer Still Cameras are getting advanced.
It used to be March through Mid December was the working season now it comes and goes.
I kind of want to get back Into media work but I know I won't being doing cars or motorcycles again, got to find a new niche.
I like your lunch, I try to eat as fresh and possible myself, Im Vegetarian but eat a lot of vegan dishes, I probably won't go totally vegan I still like some dairy now and then, I like yogurt, eggs and cheese, I tried the vegan versions of those products but I like the yogurt for the calcium and probiotic content.
Protein wise I'm good there, I started using that Huel powder you use thats my breakfast. My other meals usually include beans and rice, peanut butter and the like and instead of empty carbs with breads I started using the carb smart tortillas ie wraps as my "bread".
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. How you like Huel so far?
@@Youknowthebo
I like it a lot, I drink it for breakfast and I'm full I find I don't want to do a mid morning snack anymore LOL since Im not spending money on snacks at a convenience store the Huel is actually paying it for itself in a way, if I know I'll be working a longer shift at work I'll mix up a one scoop serving and take that to work with me.
It’s terrible in the us too
That's sad 😢
Companies around the world realized a few things during the pandemic. Those seem to be: people will pay crazy prices for things that they need, like groceries and medicine. So they all agreed to raise prices together. With higher prices, people are desperate for work. Which means they can give less pay and demand more work. You wont do it? Someone else will. CEOs are making 800% more than they made a few decades ago, and prices of almost everything have doubled since the pandemic. But workers wages havent. They'll keep squeezing until our wallets pop, or we do :(
Economy is America is just as fucked. FYI
😢
