Doing a “backpack dump” to showcase what I carry for the ol’ commute to the office. I like to have a little extra space left which is why it’s not fully packed. #edc #backpack #edcbackpack #goruck #goruckgr1 #goruck

Have you tried the Fisher AG-7? How would it compare?
I haven't, only the bullet space pens
I like carrying cash with me. So if the wallet can’t hold cash then meh. These look nice. May check them out.
The reason people want writing samples is to see what it looks like in your hand while you’re using it. It is an instrument correct? Don’t rush the writing samples. It’s not about the refill you have in there, like you stated.
Gorgeous pen!
I just got one Yesterday in 2 colors! Whiskey as main and 2nd color is Chestnut, and Havana Cigar Thread... going to be LIT! i still have the original Topsider.. its cool but the cash is a pain and gets frayed n stuff..
We would like to collaborate with you to review Tactical Geek's bag set. If possible, I would like to know your email address
@@tacticalgeek1157 Thanks for reaching out - I am contactable on Instagram via private message: instagram.com/chriscarries_edc?igsh=NWc5Nzhia292bGhv&
@@ChrisCarries_EDC I have sent you a message many days ago, it may be in your Instagram trash
Looks good
Thanks, great video! Totally caught me off guard with the 700ml Vapur and the hard shell sunglasses case. I would never have guessed that would all fit. 👌
Huge issue with CHZ 22 v1, with CPL 24 v3 not that much but still there is an issue. Also my slight lordosis doesn't help. I will try this, thank you.
Thinking of upgrading to CTB 26L from CHZ 26L. Seeing CTB has more compartments; is the main large interior compartment smaller capacity compared to CHZ?
@@e3vL1 I don’t have the CHZ26 but it will definitely have a larger main space. Because your 26l is divided up much more on the CTB.
Great idea using the shock cord. What size are you using?
Thanks for making a load out video. I just ordered the 18L and have a CAP 2 on the way. I am curious what notebook and pen holder you are using? I would like something similar.
Thanks for watching! The notebook holder is from Arc Company
@@ChrisCarries_EDC Thanks for the info. Looks like they make great gear.
Welcome back
Badalassi or pueblo looks like just a regular buttero after 4 months of use.
I think you did not flip back to the American side for thickness because it is not over an inch thick. And the markings on your tape are mm from what I can see.
Yes that was my mistake - it was a centimetre thick at around 2:14 (not an inch!)
My favorite part of the review is the writing test……… oh wait
I mean short of the ergonomics of how you are holding the pen, the writing test is irrelevant. The ink inside can be switched out to any parker/parker like refill. If they made the ink, then it would be understandable to see how their insert performs. When you can put any ink insert you like, the way it writes has nothing to do with the pen itself. This is a review of the pen, the machining, the design, etc... not the $5 ink insert they provided with it. Everyone has their own preference on ink.
What colors are the houbei?
Do you still use it?
No, I didn't quite gel with it. I use the Evergoods CAS2 instead.
I'm telling! That sucks you might have your knife confiscated! I can carry anything I want in my area of America. Sorry you live in a p*ssy country! Great edc!

Nice scales, where did you get them from please?
Such a beautiful knife. I love it and i own it. And yes it's sharp. Very sharp... ask my finger. For me the most beautiful knife under 100 euros
3 and 4 almost perfect 4 me. Been on a sarch 4 the perfect 1 4 years, cant seem 2 find 1. Closest I havve ever gotten is the American Bench Craft THe Frontier wallet. 99.9999% perfect 4 my needs.
I wanted to own a proper so bad but they are discontinued.
Got mine today in the same colour. Not a fan of the others, and thinking about getting some custon titanium scales made. Love the action, and have had a very similar experience to you with it. Definitely a light use knife that is very fun to use. One of the very few UK legal Carry flippers out there. Great video! Greetings from Wales!
Hi Chris, would you ever consider selling this Fat Herbie? Thanks! 😊
Thanks for this :) I had this issue with the chz22, putting padding behind the lower backpanel solved the issue, it is comfortable now.
Great to hear!
What colors are they?
Nice review. It took me a moment to realise that you are a fellow Scot (after watching/hearing many 'Murican reviews). I have just ordered this from Cyclaire Knives for £43 inc p&p. Hopefully I will be able to flip it as effortlessly as you seem to be able to. I intend to use the index finger "reach-around" but time will tell. Nice looking dark micarta accentuates what I consider to be a very elegant minimalist design. Subscribed to your dulcet tones 😊
The lack of a loop for carabiner/Hub key fob/etc on the Admin Pouch was such a huge disappointment to me. It wouldn't have taken away from the appearance and it would have added so much in the way of utility. Sure, you can sew one on, but at this price point I don't feel like that should be necessary. I have to say the Hub Pouch is cute and might be my next buy for small necessities for work. Very helpful video - good demonstrations of what fits where.
Alpaka has a v2 of this model that has 1 more liter of space.
Great comparison! What is the largest bottle the water pockets can hold?
Too small I got bravo max v2 😜❤️
How IS that metal grip? Is this not THE most essential question, after you realize how much you've spent for a Parker? One with a bit of a fat head I believe. How do you refill it? Unscrew the point? That nose cone where the tip emanates?
Great video, do all of open sea leather wallets patina?

So strange, I've never felt this in any of their bags. I wonder what about the panel with some peoples backss does this.
I think it has to do with how high one wears the backpack. I just bought the CTB20 and it’s very uncomfortable compared to my Aer Travel Pack (small). The shoulder straps are almost painful in comparison, to be honest. I love so much about the Evergoods pack though, the zippers and materials are incredible, the design is much more subdued and practical in a wider range of situations.
@@AmnesiaTanner i love their bags, just hate how fat they are. Dont own a single bag of theirs after owning them all, they too chunky, im not traveling while edc🤣✌️
@@AmnesiaTanner do you see yourself returning the CTB20? I also noticed it is fairly uncomfortable but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s new and stiff or not. I just can’t find a comparable bag with the same features in this size.
@@AmericasianKid1 I am not returning it unless the 50d lining begins to tear or fray on the shoulder straps or back panels within the first year. I will say the straps have become a lot more comfortable in just the first couple days of wearing it. Adjusting the sternum strap so that it’s in the lowest position really helped for me. So far no issues with the bag, I am getting used to it being slightly bulkier than my Aer bag. Since it’s streamlined in so many other ways, I think I can accept the bulk.
For me I have the idea it is how your back curves. Some people have their butt sticking out more, ie curving their back more. Then it seems to dig more easily. If I consciously adjust my hips it is fine. But on the other hand I can carry my Goruck and Aer bags without any discomfort so although I love evergoods their design it seems that part is not for me. They are just not comfortable. Shoulder straps also dig a lot quicker than Aer or Goruck. So I don't see myself ever using a CTB35 while I don't mind filling up my Aer travel pack or Goruck GR2 over 10 kg.
I have the same issue with my CHZ bag 😞
You could try a t-shirt or thin towel, or try slightly bending the frame sheet so that the bottom curves away from your back
In case it's useful for anyone...I just ordered a Houbei 2.0. I emailed them about British notes and for an extra $25 they do have a version that's a few mm wider designed especially for British and Euro notes. That's what I've ordered. I'll see what it's like when it arrives.
For info, I contacted the company (before seeing this video - I'd only seen American reviews - to ask about British notes. They can make them slightly wider to make £20 notes easier to fit but for an extra $25 on the cost.
No clip, ripstop sleeve, perfect for keeping in your pocket - I really like mine and now thinking of a Wingback pencil too
is this carry on bag?🤨
You’d need to check the airline’s allowances but a lot of people have used it successfully for carry on where it’s technically larger than the carry on size limits.
How do they compare size wise? The Open Sea website lists the dimensions of the LT as smaller but they looked the same in the video when you held them side by side.
The LT is ever so slightly smaller. I can fit £20 notes in the regular Topsider just fine, but they stick out by about 1mm from the side of the LT.
@@jeremybarbaresi6892 They're very similar in the pocket, almost an identical feel
Which part of the pocket do you clip it too? And is this knife safe to wash in water?
2:26, you can wrap paracord on the handle it will help with comfort. A cobra weave should work for you . Tell me how it goes if you did it. Nice review!
That's a great idea, man. Even though I never really had a problem with the handle, I'm going to do it anyway to improve it.
Where can I find one of those patches?
It's a Prometheus design werx patch
UK GBP notes always been slightly difficult to insert (expect £5 note) and it sticks out a bit, it is a perfect fit for US notes because these are made for those smaller notes specifically I wish they made slighter wider for those bigger GBP notes like £20 and £50. I really don't understand why it struggles with £10 notes.
That was ... nerdy 😅
This is a great little collection! Just a bit of advice on the very first wallet, the Belroy card sleeve, you’re supposed to put your bills in the front slit not in the big pocket. That might help with the polymer notes making it look thinner.
