## Transcript

the goal is a simple. We've had to find gadgets that cover every possible high-end experience, but in the most compact way possible. If something needs charging, it charges with USB-C cuz it's just easy. And everything is black or
silver cuz it looks stealthy AF. And they were the only colors we could get just keep getting smaller. Believe it or not, every single thing on this table will actually fit into this one tiny sling bag. Beginning with something
in size. Water. This pocket flask from Laba Mono is my absolute favorite right now cuz it holds 250 mils of drink. It doesn't leak have a bit of a problem right now. Thanks to this valve that needs you to
Thanks to this valve that needs you to bite down on it. And the more you drink, literally a quarter of its original size.
size. But, smaller still is our power bank. think has to have the greatest [music] size to output ratio of any compact
battery. So, the thing's barely bigger than an AirPods case. It delivers 45 watts of power, which is just enough to also be able to charge most thin and light laptops. Has a braided USB-C cable built in to do that with an extra port
to stick a second cable in. And it has a 10,000 mA capacity, which might not Amazon for the best mini power [music] bank, you'll almost definitely find one with apparently similar specs and a thousand glowing reviews, like this.
[music] Also, supposedly 10,000 mA. But, they're kind of lying to you. And identical phones completely flat and into our Baseus, the right one into our Amazon power bank. And both managed to
get the phones to exactly 55% after 20 minutes, which is great. But, while that process drained the Amazon brick all the way till 56% remaining, Baseus still had way till 56% remaining, Baseus still had 74. That's a colossal difference,
especially considering the quoted capacities are the same. So, we'll bag banks because [music] there are differences in the quality of battery in terms of how much energy they waste and even whether the company is quoting the
rated max capacity or the typical usable capacity. But, it's the charger we found that I'd say is really testing the limits of say is really testing the limits of compact engineering.
mind. Cuz even like 2 years ago, I'd have told you this is the best your phone on top, your earphones just behind that, and then watches with this little side arm. But, now look at this. The Kuxiu X40 Turbo, which I would say
is genuinely less than 1/3 of the volume, still charges all three things. And this is Qi 2.2 wireless charging. instead of 15. The only way something like that's possible is to just not
waste a millimeter with this [music] design. And everything we've tested from Anker and Belkin currently is still just bulkier with no extra benefit. And then to power the thing, the smallest 65 W brick in the world from
Just to give you an idea of how insane that is, this is 65 W. This This is the latest 70 W charging brick from Apple. Just like the wireless charger, this is basically the theoretical limit with current tech for
high performance. And obviously, that's with the absolutely enormous UK plug on the end of it. The US version is even tinier, although also worse for reasons pairing that with the Nomad USB-C ChargeKey. [music]
This tiny keyring supports up to 240 W of power and 10 gigabits per second data magnetic, so they snap together. I don't I there is a tinier, more hassle-free way to always make sure you have full
>> It's just dawning on me how many more products we have to still fit in here. >> Thank goodness they are getting increasingly minuscule. Like this is our towel from Matador. It's basically made of a nanofiber that
can absorb a lot more than it looks like. It's actually absorbent enough that if push comes to shove, you could use this tiny thing to dry your whole body. Yes, I've tried [music] it. No, that footage will not be making it
>> It would be hey baby. >> But just to give you an idea, this is the company's full-size towel, which also does not take up a lot of space. Really not exaggerating when I say full size. So this is 200 mils of water.
We'll fold this towel up, stick it in. Let's come back to that in a bit to see how much liquid it's picked up. Now one piece of tech that is effectively is the speaker. Because as a general rule, the smaller the speaker,
the less air it's going to be able to push and therefore the less thump it's going to be able to create. But the One Vibe Go from Nomad is in my testing the absolute best compromise. >> [music]
>> So this is the iPhone speaker max volume. It doesn't defy the laws of physics, but it is just small enough that you could
throw it into a sling or a pocket, but just big enough that you could host a whole house party on this thing. Okay, maybe a flat party. And it still has water resistance as well as an actually usable realistic battery life of like 8
[music] hours with one extra trick. It's also a MagSafe phone stand. Things that setup. also just trim down the biggest pocket filler, the wallet, to its most minimal
possible form with the Secrid Card Protector Plus. I showed you guys the original card protector in our last EDC video, and we've been using it every day since because it is so thin, stops any of your cards bending, it's RFID
blocking, it has this very slick ejecting mechanism, all while still holding five to six cards. And this Plus is just an even better version of it with an even tighter grip on your cards and a fluted design.
It's very fun to play with. I'm yet to see a better wallet than this. So, you can go right in your front. Now, if you're someone who wears sunglasses on the daily, well, A, I'm very jealous of you, but also B, you've
almost definitely felt the pain of your storage case tripling the space that things take up. So, [music] this company called Lens Wrapper actually just understood that name has made something tidier. They've decided
that the important thing is to protect the lenses, so this wraps [music] around them, and then the arms go outside. You obviously lose some protection, but yeah, this is a pretty solid compromise
for the space that it saves you. That said, if you want to do this properly, then you can't beat the Rove foldable sunglasses. I think they look sick. I've been using a pair for years now with no durability
issues while being so thin that you could probably use them as a knife. And these things, they fold down into something that is literally half the size of even that. Difference [music] is crazy. Only thing is, they absolutely
make you pay for the privilege. This is 175 dollars, >> [music] >> which for 15 grams of material is nuts. everyday carry gear videos, [music] and I'm always skeptical cuz your phone
already has one. That's already enough for most situations. So, the only way that to me a dedicated flashlight makes sense is if it's both much brighter than extra space. Thankfully, this is both. So, let's say
it's 3:00 a.m. You're jolted awake by a noise. Footsteps. They're coming from nearby. Your heart is in your throat. So, you reach out, you grab your Klarus E5 Ultra flashlight, and edge towards
E5 Ultra flashlight, and edge towards the door. And they are literally just around the corner.
flash your light, and find out it's your employee who ran out of his own Doritos. Phew. That's a relief. If though, you picked up your phone instead of that
flashlight, basically all you can see is an ominous silhouette, which >> somehow makes the whole thing even more terrifying. Whoops. Yeah, I just love this thing cuz it has this spotlight mode that you've
seen, but then also, flick the switch down, that's floodlight, which has a much wider vision, plus a red light to use as a beacon, which is again extremely bright, plus a magnet to snap it onto things, plus a clip, so you can
this, and light your way with the floodlight while keeping both hands free. So, obviously we've already got this sling bag that we're packing all of But what if you wanted to buy a few more bits while you're away? Well, that's
Would you believe me if I said this was a backpack? Okay, fair enough. A backpack with two straps, a zipper that itself weighs only about 30 g, but is able to carry 30 kg worth
of weight. 30 kg being a lot of improvised weapons, should you hear the kind of surreal how it stays permanently connected to this miniature cover, so that you are always ready to just stuff it down and fold it back into [music]
itself. Time to get this bag. In my bag. actually [music] leave the house, the one thing I always regret not having one thing I always regret not having around is some han- sanitizer.
I'm waiting all video to make that joke, and I don't think it was worth it. But, very easily into front pockets. It's refillable. It smells like I wouldn't go as far as to say cologne, but like somewhere halfway between hand
sanitizer and that. But, I also just find the idea of hand sanitizer so much more convenient than, you know, travel soap sheets, cuz they need water, which you're not always going to have. Ah, the amount of functionality we've already
crammed into this sling is beyond me. Slip that into my handbag. gear, whether it's a sanitizer or a power bank, is remembering to top the
thing up. And that's where I think the Rolling Square battery is genius. So, yes, I did already show you an amazing power bank earlier, but in [music] my experience, there are two kinds of power bank users. There are, well, people like
me who are always on their phones, tablets, and laptops, and just like the idea of keeping everything topped up. That's who the Baseus one is for. But, just phone users, and they want the power bank more as an emergency backup
That's who this is for. It's small enough that you can slide it onto your keys. So, we're only talking 2,000 mA hours of juice, but that is still enough to get most modern phones from completely flat to about 25% charge. I
really like how you can just snap the power bank off, revealing both a USB-C cable baked inside, and a second cable that is actually both micro USB and lightning. I am a strong advocate for USB-C everything, but this is an
emergency power bank, and in an emergency, sometimes you are rescuing your friends and family who may not have the same regard for the latest technologies. But, this is what makes me go from like to love.
thing. This is how you charge the power bank, but the magnet is also strong keys. [music] So, it creates this automatic system where you come home, you need to stick your keys up somewhere anyway, and then
that the next time you need to go somewhere, you are completely charged somewhere, you are completely charged and ready to go again. call the micro realm with the AirFly 2. It's a little situational, but if you
are a big plane traveler, it feels like a must. Excuse me. have Bluetooth, which means your nice wireless earphones can pair directly to
the screen, most planes still don't. Meaning that wired headphones they throw out that, honestly, wouldn't feel too generous as part of a happy meal. So, the idea is you plug your AirFly in, and this
effectively gives the plane the Bluetooth that you need to connect the of earphones, so you can watch the same movie as the person sitting next to you. >> [music]
this plane is just terrible, which it usually is. Here's what I'm doing right now. I'm currently on a bit of a K-drama streak, so I just finished The Glory, show I have ever watched in my life. And so, next on my list is Night Has Come.
The problem is you can't watch Night Has Come on Netflix in the UK. So, we need to pull up Surfshark VPN, our sponsor, change the location to South Korea, and download [music] the entire show for our plane journey, which is going to be a
hell of a lot more enjoyable than watching The Meg 2 for the seventh time. plane journey, you'll probably want a VPN anyway for security on the horrific able to have seamless internet while you're away as if you never left home.
And if you go to surfshark.com/boss, you can get it for $2 a month with four extra months for free for as many people as you want. Your other option, of course, would be to play a game. And I think [music] the Atom Controller
that. Because this can connect to your phone, it can connect to your PC, but no alternative if you don't have a controller, a Nintendo Switch or Switch drinkable? >> Yeah, it's fizzy lemon.
>> Okay. Well, this isn't just like water with loads of food coloring. properly wrap your hands around, but Trisha, my wife, loves it. So, that's >> This is the fruity mint cocktail. And I think it really comes into its own when
eight-player multiplayer on the go, cuz I mean a bag of these is a lot more portable than bag of these or even Joy-Cons. Okay, let's stow these away into the carry-on. There you go. There you go.
There you go. Thank you very much. >> We can't have an everyday carry without a multi-tool. I mean, how else am I
going to aggressively offer to fix someone's loose cabinet hinge at a house party? And for this setup, all roads have led me to the Leatherman Micra. doesn't overlap as much with the other things we're already packing. Like, this
is Victorinox's mini multi-tool, for example. Best parts of this are a better one off, and a pen, which I'm about to a better one off. Plus, I find some of these tools so fiddly. Like, what am I meant to cut with this?
small as you can go without feeling like a Christmas cracker [music] toy. It's three different types of screwdriver, even a 12-cm ruler.
more than 12 cm? This is the Midori XS tape measure. I someone who would carry a tape [music] measure wherever I go, but this thing's so tiny that you kind of might as well. It really is satisfying to pull out. It
comes in so easily and it can measure up to a meter and a half. You can buy fancier and more expensive [music] tapes like this one made of titanium, but in my experience the mechanism here isn't actually as reliable as the Midori. It
it when the cheap option is actually [music] the better option. But what's probably more handy than always being ready to find out the exact centimeter length of what you see on go is a little carrying
Now that I've reached the wise age of 30, I take a couple of supplements. for the wisdom. And this case by Curve is so good for the few pills or gum or coins or they even sell ear plugs specifically made to fit nicely. It's
easy to open and close. It's waterproof and it comes with this sleeve that lets you in the lowest hassle way possible clip it onto things. first time ever. So you can now precision find them from 50% further
away and the speakers on them for location are like 50% louder, too. So let's say I was incredibly dense and I lost it there.
I feel like you could hear that probably at least a floor above, maybe two. already the most reliable trackers in my testing, this [music] feels like a bit adding to that which can be very useful is a fabric sticker. It just keeps your
AirTag in its own [music] designated place that's near the edge of your bag picked up. But you are not ready for [music] the most insane price-to-size ratio of any product in this video, but also the most
insane performance-to-size ratio. This is ShiftCam's Creator SSD. to your phone? Considering that this is Samsung's latest SSD and this is 2
terabytes. 2 terabytes. This has as much storage as this. [music] And while it isn't as fast, it's still fast enough that you can use this to record ProRes footage directly from your iPhone, which [music]
footage, and is about the most demanding thing that most people would want from their phones. Is it cheap? Hell no. But is it an incredible product if you do splash out? Yes. It's shockproof, splashproof, dustproof, and they even
still fits nicely while you've got a case on. close the front pocket. It's happening. And now from read and write [music] to
write. Sorry. And it is the tiniest pen that I normally too fussed about materials, but this being made of titanium is kind of the reason that it's strong enough for you to transform it like this, doubling
without it feeling like I'm one misplaced apostrophe from snapping the thing in half. Very smooth writing experience, too. be so spiky on the end. It tastes of like negative space.
But perhaps nothing embodies this video better >> [music] >> than the Casio ring watch. This is literally like someone took a normal, classy, high-end Casio watch
>> and hit it with a shrink ray. The watch module is designed to be approximately a replica at [music] 1/10 of the scale. And it's just so sick that all the watch functions, stopwatch, alarm, LED backlight, dual time, they're all here,
just miniaturized. And to make this on a scale like this, it does actually >> What's the time? >> It is 11:01. [music] Kind of wish Apple did one of these. I can't tell if I look unconventional or
someone's checking their ring watch in front of you? Okay. Well, there you go. I I actually tell if this is designed to be a joke product or not, but I respect the hell out of the ambition and execution. So,
what's underneath this towel? Okay, towel is still wet. [music] Oh my goodness. Look at that. It has taken all the water. It's really impressive for something that's the thickness of like a kitchen towel. Only
question [music] now then, does this bag close? Have we done it? Or do we need to start the video from scratch? Three, two, one. honestly. Okay, hope you found this useful. I'll catch you in the next one.
