Ah man, the bane of my life. My school even tried implementing rules for which pens we could use when the whole gel pen hysteria got out of hand. Eventually I managed to win them over and get a free pass for using my own pens haha
@@joeallam Left-handed here too and I'm going to try out pens from Sakura. The Pentel EnerGel NV Gel Ink pens have been my go to as the ink dries so fast that it doesn't smudge. Can't go wrong with the quality of stuff Made in Japan.
@@fobudomh Depends on how they hold their pen. I certainly do as I push my pen rather than pull it as most right-handers do. My left hands middle finger has developed a bump where my pen rests while I'm writing.
You can see the seasoned traveler in your setup. I would go with a more rugged bag from say Red OX, maxpedition or vetx but your ability to get everything stored in a convenient way is commendable.
Thanks! For years I used to use a single tote for all these items, in search of the right bag. I'm so happy with the Aer one that I chose. So many others came close but missed a certain requirement I had. With everyone's varying taste and needs, its no surprise more and more bag companies keep cropping up!
Cheers! Not gonna lie, still takes me ages to pack all my gear before a trip haha. Even though it's mostly the same, the extra items that go in my suitcase are the difficult bits!
You can bring 27000mah as the max battery bank. If you get one of the newer ones with USB-C PD you can even charge your laptop/macbook. I find that useful because on a few flights I've had the seat power not working.
Watching this on an iPad Pro 11, connected to a Logitech Slim Folio Pro. Not boasting, it‘s just funny. :-) I also love this combination, so great to pull it out in the train or on a plane and use it almost as a laptop. Especially with the possibility to plug in a USB Stick and being able to access files without needing a cloud service for transferring them from your laptop beforehand.
Cool looking bag there buddy, full of great doodads and goodies as well. Funnily enough, I just got a strap for my AirPods as well... Also... I blinking love a good pouch, I’m all about the pouch life. One thing I will add, to get you thinking about, being a traveller and what not, take a look at cables from ‘portapow’, they’re charging only cables and don’t support data transfer at all... hear me out, i know what you’re thinking, for airports that have usb sockets for people to use, any unknown computers etc, they keep your device that little bit safer but... they also charge tour device that bit quicker, far quicker than the apple ones. I then have the data transfer one in my main tech pouch ready to go when i should need it. It may Not be for you, but it is worth a think about. Cheers, @EDCCooperative
Wow, our travel kit is almost the same except it's a Dell XPS13 for me. I do also have a LaCie DJI Boss 2 TB HD for backup via built-in SD slot, and enough movies for a 2-week trip. I connect with to my iPad via lightning to USB-C cable and Bluetooth to my Bose headphones
I had a really long day at work, but your video made my night so much better! I love watching videos like these! I hope to have my very own tech bag filled with cool gadgets soon
Hi Joe, keep up the great work! Just checking you carry your MacBook in the the carry on bag and not in the Lowpro camera bag (which has a laptop section)? Cheers from Australia!!
BA allows 23 kg in cabin? you might be referring to checked baggage Air France: Economy cabin, the combined weight of your hand baggage item and accessory must not exceed 12 kg / 26 lb. Premium Economy, Business or La Première cabins, the combined weight of your hand baggage items and accessory must not exceed 18 kg / 40 lbs.
It’s actually 46kg in the cabin (23kg each bag). Ridiculous in comparison to other airlines, but so helpful as a photographer! www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/baggage-essentials/hand-baggage-allowances
It's from LoFT in Japan. Unfortunately it's mostly unbranded and I can't remember the name of it. It's a solid build though and ended up being one of the cheapest too! When I'm back in Japan I'll take a look for the name of it.
To be technical on it, it's actually 100 Watt hours as a limit for most airlines. So capacity fluctuates depending on voltage out from the battery which can also limit other features such as speed etc. This Anker one I'm using is 5v output as standard, which places it pretty much exactly at 100Wh.
Cheers man! I've got multiple variations for these ones, including a tidy-up of the classic ones to fit my new grid. They're not lost! I'll be cycling through them over the next few videos to iron out any issues with them.
I do. Barely have a need for them on my day to day as I use contactless/Apple pay, but of course local currency is always required for those rare other moments. Keeping them separate stops them mixing. Would rather not have a wallet getting sweaty in my pocket, so I’ll put it in my bag.
It takes a few flights to come up with your best personal travel EDC. For me I stick to the bare minimum tech(noise cancelling hp is a must!), water bottle, small toiletries pouch and a rolled up tshirt/underwear/socks all tucked in a 12L pack! Less is more for me
Really well done and informative video Joe! Thanks for sharing. I found many useful items for long flights when I can start traveling back to the US again. Would love to see an EDC minimalist video from you too if you even have such a category (because you need all your gear it seems). I'd be curious as to what you carry when you're at a location, not working, but going out for a few hours to explore or just see the sights. Cheers!
Hey Joe, great video. I’d love to see a video on how you manage you photography workflow on the iPad Pro. Especially around the storage and backup of images when editing from the iPad. Cheers!
Yeah that's definitely something I'm experimenting a lot with and want to share in more detail soon. I'm still ironing out some of the processes and hoping on some software updates to Lightroom soon!
I’ve just come across your channel for the first time through this video, and I’m already a fan! I really need to check out the QC35s, because so many people have talked so highly of them, though I tend to be in situations where I want to block out noisy people and unpredictable/irregular noise rather than things like plane engine noises, so I’ll have to check out some of the Sony options as well. I also wear glasses and struggle to find headphones that are comfortable and glasses-compatible, and as a result I’ve mostly used only in-ear headphones, so it’s good to hear someone else with glasses gives the QC35s the thumbs up! Right now I’m using the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 neckband in-ear headphones, which are fine (reasonably good sound quality and good in-ear fit and comfort, plus iPhone volume/start/stop controls), but the band is really starting to irritate me, and sometimes sits awkwardly in combination with winter coats and scarves etc. I had to buy new headphones at very short notice in Dec 2018 before a trip, so my choices were pretty much limited to what I could get from Amazon Prime Now! Despite being in-ear headphones, my Sennheisers don’t fold up into a small travel case due to the neckband, so carrying them around when I’m not wearing them is annoying, and being small and easily portable is part of the point of in-ear headphones! So maybe now is a good time to try and get used to the larger size of proper headphones... having proper headphones would be also more visible to others in the office, and might help to prevent some of their excessive interruptions! Like you I’m also a fan of the smaller iPad Pro (though mine’s still the 2017 10.5”), and I also have a Logitech Slim Combo keyboard case! I tend to only connect the keyboard half and not bother with the other part of the hard plastic shell, because I have my iPad in the Pipetto Origami case and I like the versatility of viewing angles and ability to rest securely on soft surfaces (bed/sofa/etc), but the backlit keyboard with proper keys is so good. I’m also a fan of of pouch culture for modular portability! I got a new Tom Bihn Synik backpack a few months ago for everyday use, but foolishly missed out on the opportunity to buy some of their various pouches and options for organisation, and I really need to rethink my pouch game. Anyway, I’ll definitely be checking out more of your videos! :)
How do you feel about traveling to Japan with the Virus Outbreak? Because I have a flight now in April and I'm very concerned and thinking about changing the dates for a later day around fall to see how it calmed down.
To be honest, I’m not all that concerned, but it does depend on personal situation, current health, age etc. We’re still going ahead with the trip as planned and will of course be vigilant with cleanliness. I’ve been following the statistics from a numbers perspective and keeping a close eye on things. Japan is also one of the cleanest countries around which naturally makes me feel more comfortable. Given the situation expanding around the world, I almost feel I may prefer to be there than anywhere else. My advice would be to check your local medical advice and understand the consequence of self-quarantine upon return (if required) and any other up to date info. Chris Broad’s latest video may be of interest to you by the way: ua-cam.com/video/Qr5sS4c_jZk/v-deo.html
Hello Joe, have question for biginner camera, I already read your blog for camera buy guide. I am confused between DSLR VS MIRROR LESS CAMERA? Which is batter? Guide me.
Hello Joe, the chest bag now that is really cool, on my shopping list mate. Lots of cool tech items there, and lots of useful information, hmm lots of ideas, great point about the headphones and glass's, are you shure you dont work with Mr bond, oh goodness it will take me a year to write this lot down lol lol, the case's are very smart a strong looking, lots of info, the tracker hmm never thought of that, fantasic mate more than useful, big trip in June, so a stockup and shopping oh goody. Oh my god that watch I seem to go through a few of them, hmm food for thought, well done mate back to Japan....oouch, hope to go next year, your both the best always, take care and once again you nailed it!!
Cheers, Clive! Glad you found the items useful. I'm always interested in seeing how other people travel and what gear they bring, so I'm happy to add mine into the mix. Of all the items, possibly the most universally useful would be the Tile tracker - without it, you have potential to lose everything altogether.
him : im travelling to ...
coronavirus: no you are not
Harvey Chang so relatable I was meant to be going to the Caribbean and watched these but corona stopped it 😕
Man you're so organized and prepared
Cheers! I've always been a fan of setting up processes, workflows and organisation.
Never considered that ink needs to dry faster for left handers haha.. thanks

Do left handers press harder ?
@@fobudomh Depends on how they hold their pen. I certainly do as I push my pen rather than pull it as most right-handers do.
My left hands middle finger has developed a bump where my pen rests while I'm writing.
"Minimalists hate him..." haha so cool to see the inside of a veteran travellers bag! Such preparedness. Epic.
Love the fact that it is all used and very much has a true purpose, not just having things like a lighter just to have a lighter.
Watching this during covid-19 quarantines as I am missing good old day when we could travel anywhere, anytime ;)
Why are you upset about traveling
Left hander too aye. Thanks for the pen recommendation!
Very well packaged, cant wait to see what you two have going on in Moraco, Japan and Thailand 👊🏼
Thanks man! I'm hoping not to generate too much of a backlog this year...
Idk what aspect ratio your videos are, but its definitely the one everyone should be using. Looks amazing on my s21
I'm astonished with the amount of things that you carry with in your travels.
likewise i dont understand the need for all of that , you can do everything perfectly well without alot of that, but each to their own i suppose
You are my hero! Probably the most organized person ever! Thanks for sharing....very inspiring for those of us who THINK we are organized! Cheers!
You can see the seasoned traveler in your setup. I would go with a more rugged bag from say Red OX, maxpedition or vetx but your ability to get everything stored in a convenient way is commendable.

Most satisfying video I've seen, thanks allam!!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!! I have a weird appreciation for these kinds of videos and I am always pumped when you upload one!!
I’m interested in that yellow suitcase. What’s the brand?
Nobody...
Absolutely nobody...
Joe: this is my other, other power bank
Joe, this is very inspiring. Thanks a lot! I thoroughly enjoy your photos and vids.
Where did you get your Skin for the Macbook? Looks awesome!
you can check out dbrand
Thanks so much for the work you put into all of your videos. You really do have a mobile office figured out !
Cheers! Not gonna lie, still takes me ages to pack all my gear before a trip haha. Even though it's mostly the same, the extra items that go in my suitcase are the difficult bits!
You can bring 27000mah as the max battery bank. If you get one of the newer ones with USB-C PD you can even charge your laptop/macbook. I find that useful because on a few flights I've had the seat power not working.

Thank you! I haven't got an X100V, so won't be able to make a video about one unfortunately. If I buy one, then for sure I'll be making videos...

No lie you inspired me to be more neat with my tech gear Joe. Thank you.
The largest capacity of power bank you can bring onto a flight is 26800mah, hence why there are so many power banks with this strange capacity
You have a weird face but in a good way it looks like you are always smiling and I love it.
Great vid thanks, lots of little tips and tricks to keep in mind
Wow, our travel kit is almost the same except it's a Dell XPS13 for me. I do also have a LaCie DJI Boss 2 TB HD for backup via built-in SD slot, and enough movies for a 2-week trip. I connect with to my iPad via lightning to USB-C cable and Bluetooth to my Bose headphones
Clicked on the like button right after the intro! The intro captured me. 🤩
This is really helpful. Thank you for sharing.
your videos are awesome dude!
Awesome to see other youtuber's travel gear!!
Great video Joe! Was hoping to come to the UK and around Europe next month but I think Coronavirus will prevent me from going unfortunately.
Who knew we would be in a quarantine when he wanted to travel to all this places 😂😁
Damn !! You are perfectionist ! Love the way you organize your belongings ! Really perfect 👌🏻
Take a shot every time he says "essentially"
First time watching your videos, and they are great! Keep up the good content
Wanted to see this video from you for a while! Thanks!
love pouch culture as well
I had a really long day at work, but your video made my night so much better! I love watching videos like these! I hope to have my very own tech bag filled with cool gadgets soon
Clicked because I missed traveling.... subbing because you’re a fellow lefty
Aer bags are sound investments ⚡️⚡️
Thanks for this! Especially like comment about burgundy passport 👍🏼
This is almost exactly how I travel, except I use the Peak Design Travel line 45L. Made a video on this as well.
I see cool dude👍

Hey Joe ! Love these videos 😊 Where is the little chest bag from ?
Cheers! I bought the chest bag from a little stationery store in Nagoya, Japan. I managed to find it on Amazon though: allam.co/chest-pouch
Thanks Joe ! Ordered one 😊
Where’s your yellow case from? So nice!
It's from LoFT in Japan. Unfortunately it's mostly unbranded and I can't remember the name of it. It's a solid build though and ended up being one of the cheapest too! When I'm back in Japan I'll take a look for the name of it.

Very posh setup!
you can take up to 30000mah on a plane, most sell 26500mah though.
To be technical on it, it's actually 100 Watt hours as a limit for most airlines. So capacity fluctuates depending on voltage out from the battery which can also limit other features such as speed etc. This Anker one I'm using is 5v output as standard, which places it pretty much exactly at 100Wh.
Great video! Love the all
Black fit. Always amazing content. Where did you get your adidas long sleeve shirt?
Very informative and detailed video 👍 Will you be adjusting your travel plans in the coming months in light of Covid?
It was great video, thanks!
I like the way you have put your name on each gadget..where do I get those stickers from ?
loving the new lower thirds joe! not gonna lie, kinda miss the classic ones lol
Cheers man! I've got multiple variations for these ones, including a tidy-up of the classic ones to fit my new grid. They're not lost! I'll be cycling through them over the next few videos to iron out any issues with them.
Great video Joe! I am always looking for travel hacks and you have seem to master several of them! 👍
Many thanks! Hopefully they can be transferable to other people's travel preferences too.
Still waiting for that x100v review.
Have been looking for a nice sd card reader, might have to check out the prograde one now :)
Yeah it’s a pretty great reader! Before it came out I was searching for dual UHS-II readers for about 2 years. It’s SO fast!
Love it dude. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏻
Thanks for sharing. Where did you get the Air Prop neck pillow? I cant find it anywhere online..
where did you order your macbook matte black skin from? love it! thank you!
I got it from dBrand, but there are a number of companies doing very similar skins 👍
Cools video, but who carries wallets in their bag. Different wallets for business cash and personal cash? Why add the extra weight?
I do. Barely have a need for them on my day to day as I use contactless/Apple pay, but of course local currency is always required for those rare other moments. Keeping them separate stops them mixing. Would rather not have a wallet getting sweaty in my pocket, so I’ll put it in my bag.
so you are actually allowed to take 20.000mah power bank onto a flight? I thought 10.000 was max
Really high taste, Joe. Love this Video!!!
What is the name of the bag? I want to buy one
Nice video bro
when he said eye mask i thought he meant imask i was like wtf? another 300$ apple stuff? then he said from a company then i was like EYEMASK
Which is the yellow trolley bag used in the start of the video??.. It looks super hot 🔥
I just wondering how much your carry-ons weight in total? :o
Great video
