    Hello Liam. I don't know if you will receive the comment, but again thank you for another informative video. If I should give you a few recommendations for EDC or tech, it would be Anker. They have clever chargers for all your devices, and I mean all of them. The charger sense how much "juice" your device needs and charge it full without overcharging it. They also have powerbanks of various sizes, and I believe they also have one for laptops. If you plan to go "off the grid" they have entire power stations available to plug in your home supplies as well as devices. I also saw that you are a fan of note taking. I don't know how the weather is in the UK, but I would like to recommend a brand that I use everyday, both for note taking, but also writing notes to law enforcement. Rite in The Rain is a company that specializes in note taking products and calendars that are waterproof. And I mean waterproof. My local shop has running tap over a Rite In The Rain notepad with written ink on the paper, and you as a customer can also write on it. The ink does not wash out on the paper. Both notepads and pens are meant to be used in the outdoors. The pens are replenishable. It's a bit pricy, but given how often it rains in the UK, I think they are worth a look: www.riteintherain.com/

      Yeah this stuff isn't for normal people honestly. Half of these items on these types of videos are sponsored products that companies send them to promote. If all the items aren't sponsored, the ones that are probably take up most the video. These give me the same vibe as those cringe morning routines that are just to sell overpriced hair products.

    Hi Liam, can you make a video showing your typical day in the life and how you make time for running a business, your actual dayjob, exercise, social life, and everything else you do on a daily basis? I feel like a lot of us want to be productive but we don't see how to fit everything logistically into a day-to-day pattern.

    4:10 I've had the forged carbon version for years and it practically doesn't show any wear, I only bring it if I have secure pockets though as they do side around easily. For everything else, I wear the magnetic Re-Form wallet with the pouch, easily my favorite practical test compact wallet.

    Also, seperately can you make a video on procrastinating? I don't know if you struggle with this or have in the past, but I feel like thats the number one thing that stops me from staying productive. I'll get motivation once in a blue moon and actually start doing something, but then several days later, I look up and find myself exactly where I was before, back to the same inaction. I don't even realize when it happens. It's like unconscious procrastination. And then I see you being productive 24/7 and achieving all your goals and yeah.. help!

    I have to laugh with the Filofax. I use a paper notebook myself, but before I down sized I used an A4 sized binder with calendar pages and index pages. It was larger than my laptop but kept me more organized.
    What makes me laugh is running around with “only” five cards. I can’t leave the house without a dozen, including drivers license, office access, alternate base access 2x, insurance cards, and credit cards (cash, corporate, and personal). And that’s the base.

    1st time viewer... and wow.... when I first saw that awesome looking backpack in the opening scenes I thought "it looks cool but I'm sure its $350 bucks because every cool new backpack is $350". then I found out it was your own custom backpack and knew it would be $350+ (by the way I would never buy any backpack no matter the use case for more than about $120 and that includes long term through hiking backpacks or large camera bags not just edc bags) but figured I'd look it up anyway. When I saw the $90 price tag I was floored I couldn't believe that youtuber was producing such a stylish useful backpack in that price point. My wife would have my head if I bought another backpack right now(I have a bit of an obsession) but it is added to my list and you earned a new subscriber today just by pricing you gear appropriately.

    If I hadn't just bought a backpack, I would be ordering one of yours...it looks great! Great video too. One thing I might suggest is, as a young professional, that you upgrade your pen and pencil. Something like the Multi Pen by Craft Design Technology or even the Lamy 2000 Multi Pen. Those would better match your other equipment too. DOn't get me wrong, I love a good Bic (or Biro) but as a professional there are much better options out there.

I have a laptop and two PCs with Win10 or Win11 to play games. I have a few Macs for productivity and a few Lixux PCs. I still use a MacSE30 that I bought in 1989 and a few Amigas that I also use for drafting documents. I used to engage in the Flame Wars in Usenet to screw with people’s minds 😂. The result is the same nowadays: to use the PC that fits your workload.
