Building a TRAVEL EDC You'll Actually Take With You - 57 Awesome Items for One Bag Travel

Are you sure this is not a super long Huckberry commerical? It seem that way at the beginning of this video. LOL

Caution about the Matador FlatPak bottles: liquids, like conditioners, that have alcohol can slowly dissolve the adhesive of the seams along the bottle cap. I've had a few that have leaked because of this. I now fill mine with a shampoo+conditioner that doesn't have alcohol in it.

Thanks for taking the time to make this! I found a few things I might like to add. Everyone’s Kit is personal to them but like you, I like to collect things as I see them. One thing I like to bring is a pair of tsa complaint travel scissors and a binder clip. I use the binder clip to either keep the hotel room curtains closed or to clip my passport and valuables somewhere in the room where they are safe from theft.

I would add a victorinox jettsetter and a small dry bag. The victorinox is bladeless and TSA approved. The small scissors are very useful when traveling and can solve a lot of problems when you dont have your normal edc multitool or knife. The toothpick is also great when eating out at restaurants a lot. A dry bag is great for the trip home if youre packing a wet swim suit or sweaty clothes that you dont want packed with the rest of your dirty laundry. It can also be used as a laundry wash bucket since many hotel drains dont actually hold water enough to wash clothes in the sink. Or even just as a backup stuff sack/org pouch for items in your day pack with added bonus of waterproof protection

Merino wool is amazing, no doubt. I own two 100% Merino wool t-shirts, and have previously owned much more expensive Ibex and Smartwool t-shirts/sweatshirts. With that being said, I would not recommend buying merino wool clothes unless you're fine with buying them constantly. They get holes in them after a short period of time. This isn't a brand/how well they're made thing, it's the nature of merino wool. It's incredibly weak material. It's also very expensive considering it doesn't last long. I use the 2 shirts I have only when I know it's going to be a sweaty day. That way they last significantly longer.

I don't feel bad knowing someone else packs like me. You've truly thought of everything. Great video

I love your EDC travel video! As a female, I have some needs that vary from yours. However, I really love a lot of your recommendations. I especially love that toiletries kit. All the female suggestions show these enormous 3-compartments kits. I don’t know how they fit anything else in their bags! I love the self care stuff too! 🫶🏽👍🏽👏🏽

Great video! It feels like most EDC videos cover the exact same multitools, knipex, flashlight, knife, etc and there's often nothing new other than small variations on which knife to carry. But this video gave me a TON of new ideas I had never heard of. FYI you can replace the multiple different USB cables with 2-3 USBC-USBC cables plus adapters for lightning and microUSB. Takes up the same amt of room as individual cables, but you then have the ability to charge multiple USB-C devices at once, since most of us will need more than one cable when charging at night.

Great video!! I hate that people are upset over cost or what brand you use. I feel like people forget they have autonomy of their own selves and don’t have to do exactly what you do lol. I appreciate the inspiration behind your EDC vids, especially as a beginner! ❤

Really smart items in your list! The one thing I would add which is something I travel with all the time is a 16-20oz thin metal insulated drink bottle(mine is from Starbucks). This way while on your trip you can use it for keeping drinks hot(like morning coffee or tea) or cold while you're out all day. 👍

Id put a single trashbag in your EDC. Useful for: leave no trace, AND its a poncho/gear water proofer if needed. It weighs/costs nothing and is super useful. A large ziplock is also good for dealing with a ton of situations.

I have a 23L Fjallraven backpack. And because I travel mostly around Europe, I have stopped carrying all the just in case items. Can recommend 1L transparent toiletry bag(if you don't carry much), carbon fiber belt buckle(no need to take it of at security check) and clothes for 3 days + what you travel in. Merino wool is good for hiking but not great for the city, I usually carry one merino t-shirt just in case. I don't see an umbrella, or folding shopping bag(Peak Design packable tote is great). My back weights 3,5Kg without, or 4,5Kg with laptop. On cloud shoes look interesting.

You are going places! Subscribed!

Wow! Probably the best travel edc video I’ve viewed. Great work!

You didn't go overkill with the first aid kit. I carry everything shy of chest seal and quick clot. Having creams, ointments and gauze can save you HOURS and keep you safe until you can get to those who help. Even in the US, help can be far away, and simply keeping a wound pain-free and clean is a lot. great work!

I've owned this bag for a while and I really like it. My only major gripe is that, unless you're a Mac user, you can't fit a 15 inch laptop in this thing. The sleeve itself is large enough for my 15" gaming PC. But the opening in the zipper is about 2 mm too small to comfortably slide it in. My computer is pretty slim. But it's not a Mac so it's not tiny. If I really need to bring my laptop, I'll usually just put it in the main compartment. It's not a deal-breaker but it's kind of annoying. And I guess it's not necessarily a bad thing that it is a good incentive to talk myself out of bringing my laptop if I'm flying and trying to use this bag as my personal item. :-)

I have been an edc / one bag travel nerd for two years now. I like a lot of items you shared but those prices do sting s but for my budget. I'm looking forward to getting some merino wool soon but for now what i loved most are those Velcro security locks. I go to sketchy places so that's just a good peace of mind item. I'm also curious your thoughts on those pants you mentioned verses other similar pants like Western Rise. Thanks for the video. It's my first time seeing your stuff. Well done.

Great video, but you have to learn how to pack using the military roll method. You will save even more space doing this method.

I love that bag! Looking to buy it! Love all your videos and they are helping me with what I carry in my bag and in my car! 😊❤🤍💙
