  • Have you thought about becoming a Digital Nomad? šŸ’»šŸŽ’šŸ—ŗ
  • @irasvlog5605
    The one thing you donā€™t talk about enough is security with the products. One should not put their cash and credit cards in the same billfold. Separate your money and credit cards in different pockets or places. Doesnā€™t hurt to keep a fake wallet either in case you have to give one up. Other things to consider as well but I never put all my important items in the same place on me or my carry bags.

    I'm also going to say my favorite on this list is the Roost laptop stand. I was a kickstarter backer for v.1 of this stand, and I have been promoting it, gifting it, and using it pretty much non-stop since that day. Since I am a digital nomad, and work on my laptop every day, this is probably my favorite piece of digital nomad travel gear. (After that, I'd probably pick the Aer Day Sling, although I personally prefer the Bellroy Venture slings.)
  • The Roost V3 Laptop Stand has been a life-changing product for me. Its compact size and easy setup have transformed any table into a functional workstation. I've used it consistently over the past six months, whether traveling or not.
  • Love the list! For me Bellroyā€™s Travel Wallet - it's just perfect. One constant in all my trips. The quality, style and aesthetic makes it an absolute winner for me.
  • @OlegAryutkin
    I went to Thailand for a month with just my passport and a wallet and was completely fine
  • @iu1191
    Such a fantastic and comprehensive list. I love what you do with this series. Every time I see it it is even more helpful.. Love it. The videos that you add with you two wearing and using the tools is awesome. Thanks so much for the work yo put into these. Great job.

    I love the Aer Travel Pack 3. I have been looking into getting one for when I plan to go on my first solo trip to a different country. I want to use it as a carry-on so I donā€™t have to worry about keeping it in the luggage hold on the plane. Also, try and pack things minimally! It would also be useful for when I go on work domestic trips which have been common recently. The current bag I use is very uncomfortable and not built for luggage. A feature of this bag that I like is that it has a separate laptop compartment with pockets where I can take out easy-access accessories. I have an Aer Duffle Pack and the straps have been comfortable when commuting with a heavy load.
  • There are so many great things in this list. The one that surprised me as to working like it should is the Matador Flatpak Soap bag. I travel quite a bit and always pack a small bar of soap regardless of my destination. This Matador product is perfect!
  • @EuLuisMelo
    The Hero Clip for me, is, as the name says, a real hero to keep my stuff safe and close while dining. I always keep one close by for EDC, travel, or hikes.
  • @AdaMD319
    Love the list! So many great items. My favorite on the list is my iPhone 14 Pro. Itā€™s so useful and helpful in most any situation.
  • @justinn4787
    I've been loving my roost v3 laptop stand. its been perfect for work travel lately. I've also had others comment on it and asked more about it.
  • @zachbennett
    I love the small but mighty Tom Bihn Ghost Whale Pouch 4:23 . I love having my smaller need items (flashlight, micro SD, AirPods, etc.) inside of one of these that I can easily transfer from pouch to backpack to sling without Especially if you are a gear swapper like me these are a must. Not to mention, if you have other Tom Bihn gear the clip systems are amazing to use āœŒļø
  • @vigorousera
    I love the Matador flatpak soap case, I discovered it a few years ago and LOVE how much smaller it makes carrying a bar of soap compared to typical hardshell soap cases (which are more prone to leaking anyway). Although I would suggest the Philips One by Sonicare over the Quip toothbrush. It's almost identical in size but is significantly stronger in vibration. I used the Quip for about a year before trying the One and the difference in strength was immediately noticeable when I turned it on.
  • @BrandonEley
    Great video! Tons of great items included but my favorite is probably the Aer Travel Pack 3. I've been researching carry-on compatible travel backpacks for months and keep coming back to the Aer. I really like the aesthetics of the bag compared to a lot of the other options and it appears to be made to last. I'm planning on ordering before my next trip and am really thankful for the discount for Pro members!
  • @bigbesh
    Mogics Super Bagel is amazing! Been with me on every trip since late 2018. Great choice for anyone, especially international travelers.
  • @shepbostin
    Awesome list! For me, the one indispensable item on the list has to be the Heroclip. I have a bunch of Heroclips in various sizes - but especially in Small and Medium. I have a Small Heroclip in the inside pocket of every coat to make it easy to hang my coat everywhere from a public restroom to the door of a wardrobe in a smaller hotel room. I've also use the Small Heroclip to hang a small daypack from the back of a beach chair, and to clip the same bag to a metal bar in an off-road vehicle to keep it from flying out! :-) The Medium Heroclip finds a place in every backpack and carryon that I use for both business and pleasure travel. The last thing I want to do is to set my backpack or briefcase on a dirty floor in a public restroom. This also makes it easier to access personal items like deodorant and a toothbrush when freshening up in that same public restroom. I also find it a little easier to attached my water bottle to the Medium Heroclip and a handle on my pack to keep it from popping out and rolling around. I definitely recommend picking up Heroclips - but get one or two extras for when your friends ask, "What is THAT?"

    Massive šŸ‘ for this video! Tons of jam packed content efficiently presented. Thank you.
  • Love this vid! Always look forward to it. Good work team šŸŽ‰
  • Aer is great. It's a wonderful system. Every single thing I've used from them makes me happy . I love that, as Pros, we have access to the packing videos. Those were great to watch. I'm contemplating getting a super bagel. I tend to be pretty solid on cables, and I've tried to use short ones, but this system looks pretty good. I think I'd really like to try those new outlier shorts as well.
