I just got one. The other day I was watching a video and as soon as I saw it, I paused the video, went to Amazon and bought it and then came back to the video. And that is one of the very rare times that I have ever bought anything without seeing the full review. And it was on special. Also I started to watch a few videos that show how to actually blow a whistle.
that leg mount for the phone would be amazing if it has a solid "quick connect" for the goose neck to the leg band so you could pop it off (leaving the band on your leg)
Andrew Roberson great idea! I was going to ask the same thing, how does the car seat organizer hold up when moving around? It seems like those fries may go sliding right off there.
North American UA-camr I’m genuinely asking out of curiosity, is it a common occurrence for you to sit in the back of a parked car to eat a meal? I find it hard to believe anyone would choose to sit in the back of a hot and stuffy (in the summer) or freezing cold (in the winter) parked car to eat and potentially fill there car with crumbs when they could go home, dine in the restaurant or sit outside at any number of public locations.
@@andrews2296 I know you weren't asking me but I eat in my car. The front seat mind you but I don't always want to eat in the break room of my job or I might quickly go grab something in a drive thru and stay in my car to eat. It's a waste of time to go back inside and eat in the break room when my lunches are 35 minutes. I can also play my phone through my bluetooth and lean back my chair instead of sitting upright the entire time. Also with covid it's safer to stay in your car anyway.
Now SEE...that's why I like this guy, he warned me of loud audio, I already knew what he was doing but it didn't dawn on me to turn my system down until he put it in my face. The simply hold looks decent (assuming you have a leg, some don't) but we need to know how versatile the adjustments are, legs come in varying sizes.
10:35 You have no idea how much I enjoy storytime with my favorite youtubers. Granted I only found you like a week ago, I've been binging hard on your videos lol.
On the “No tip over cup holder”, why would you want to hold your open drink on a vertical surface? That’d make drink lay in horizontal position. Isn’t it the purpose of the holder is to prevent your drink from tilting or falling horizontally?
I love that Bailey is on the couch without a fuss. I think it was a video late last year where it was mentioned that Bailey isn't usually allowed on the couch. Bailey's cuteness has won! She can't be resisted :)
I would have liked to hear the Hyper Whistle from Brandon's perspective. He is saying he hears it, but we don't get to hear how it sounds from a mile away.
You are so funny with that backseat lunch holder with a new toy I just loved it I enjoy watching you because I think you enjoy what you're doing well anyway I enjoy what you're doing
Using the hyper whistle for self-defence sounds cool, until you realize you probably won't have the time or convenience to put in earplugs in a lot of self-defence situations 😅
The whistle is pretty incredible. Heat makes sound travel shorter distances so on a cool night I bet you really could get 2 miles. Would love it if you tested it again when it’s colder (i heard the desert does get chilly?) and have Brandon walk until he can’t hear it. That would be a fun test
as a bushcrafter and emergency prepper every emergency kit and hiking kit should include a fairly loud whistle. if you are hurt, or trapped and try to call for help your voice will not carry as far as a whistle, and very quickly you will get a sore throat, and loose your voice while a whistle takes less air, less effort and can carry much further.
I already know someone I am going to gift the simply hold too. A stroke survivor that utilizes a motorized wheelchair for work. She has right side paralysis, so only her left hand is free. I think this would be useful when she’s traveling, via the airport, and waiting at the doctors office etc. BTW, I bought the telescoping stool/seat that you reviewed awhile back, as an extra Christmas gift for my husband. He requires forearm crutches, and from time to time we have wished he had a way to sit down. Waiting in line, walking a long distance, etc. it’s very sturdy and he can’t wait to use it. The only thing on this video I think will fail, especially in Arizona, is the backseat organizer. The plastic looks pretty flimsy. I live in Texas, bought one of those cell phone clips that attach to the dash, and can flip, swivel etc. yeah. Warped the first day I left it in the car while I was at work. Just curled and morphed into a useless piece of garbage. Let us know if you leave that thing in your car.
put a yellow post it on the dash "did you bring your drink?" or have a "drink roof'd" change collector in your cupholder. Like a swear jar deposit a quarter in the cupholder everytime you drive off with the drink gone. Eventually you can break the habit, AND you have money to spend on a celebratory drink.
traczebabe see my husband‘s truck is too tall for him to do it is so I am the asshole that’s driving down the street with a glass of tea flying all over the place LOL
As for getting up to do do something (3:01) it seems like the attachment at the leg end of the goose-neck has a pretty quick attach and release mechanism. So if you don't mind answering the door with a strap around your leg then...there is no problem!
I was using this to drown out environmental noise with my headphones until I could focus on it to watch it. It was nice. That is, until the whistle.....
The only thing with most non-tip cups/can koozies is that when you pull straight up, they can spill your drink everywhere which can almost defeat the purpose haha
Somebody attacks you: “ hold on while I stick this in my mouth and plug my ears, then I’m gonna blow this thing- and DON’T punch me in the face while I’m doing it.” For less time critical emergencies, like bing lost in the wild- good tool.
I can not wait for Michael Scott to engineer and produce his prototype 'Chair-pants', and have this guy test & review them!! Fun Meaningless Fact: The Office is my favorite show of all time!
would like to see the cup holder on a sports car going 100km/hour...or wait there is a speed limit? animals on the road might thank you for the happy drink : )
You should do more 5-10 item comparisons with everyday items like pizza cutters, ice cube trays (which you have done): coffee makers, different pots, pans, cutlery, can openers, different cooking utensils etc etc ...
i love my red copper mug! in fact we found them at grocery outlet for 7.99 and got some for my sister and brother in law also! then my coworker saw it and got some for her whole family!
''You always have your leg with you.''
*groans in pirate*
Haha so true.
Aaarrrrggghh
you could screw or weld it on with an argh welder (i'll see myself out)
Yeah, but if you have a peg leg, you can just screw it into the wood :D
At least if you have a peg leg, you won't tap your foot.

Hey James, how about Brandon driving you around, while you’re in the back testing the seat organizers motion factor to see how it handles in action?
Andrew Roberson great idea! I was going to ask the same thing, how does the car seat organizer hold up when moving around? It seems like those fries may go sliding right off there.
I really hope James comments on this one!

I half dot com see what you did there....
Love your dry humor. ☺️
“But I digress” words you can always count on James to say. You gotta get some shirts made up with your catch phrase on em lol
That car organizer looks legit for roadtrips
J.D's Outpost yea but how well does it hold the food when the car is in motion is the question!
@@andrews2296 ooh touche!
Aww your dog really loves you, the look in their eyes... And the please stroke me tail says it all.... Oh the products .... Yeah but the dog ... ♥️
I've watched a ton of your videos. I love that you don't talk for 5 minutes before you get to the point! Keep it up. Great job!
"It pretty much stays in place."
That's because you have the ability to sit still ;)
The screen holder sounds like a great idea for people in wheelchairs or bed bound!
The desert is quiet. Emergencies don't always happen in optimum conditions. Try the whistle at the beach on a windy day. Or near a waterfall.
10:35 You have no idea how much I enjoy storytime with my favorite youtubers. Granted I only found you like a week ago, I've been binging hard on your videos lol.
Now if I can strap that on my cat while she's sleeping I'll have prime viewing for many hours. 😺
No don't. Knowing cats, they'll probably jump off unexpectedly
Car Organizer + Simply Hold = amazing. I can't fault it for not easily holding fries. Fries are a weird shape.

Oh wow that leg phone holder thing would be great for me!! Perfect for watching UA-cam while I sit on the couch and crochet!!
Simply Hold wouldn't work for me. I never stay in one position too long and I never sit up straight like you were. 😂
This man seems like the nicest man in the world
1:51 The micro-wags 🥰
For the phone holder, if you tend to tap your foot or wiggle your leg, that's generally your dominant leg so just put it on the other leg.
I bought the Toadfish Cooler for a float trip and it worked perfectly on top of my cooler! 10/10, would recommend.
Bailey's tail has spilt so many things cos Bailey's tail is ALWAYS wagging!A happy doggo...we love Bailey!
On the “No tip over cup holder”, why would you want to hold your open drink on a vertical surface? That’d make drink lay in horizontal position. Isn’t it the purpose of the holder is to prevent your drink from tilting or falling horizontally?
We use them exclusively on our boat. Sticks to anything smooth, and doesn’t matter how choppy the water is

I would have liked to hear the Hyper Whistle from Brandon's perspective. He is saying he hears it, but we don't get to hear how it sounds from a mile away.
I bought the HyperWhistle several months ago. I use it for my neighbors barking dogs,it works well.
You are so funny with that backseat lunch holder with a new toy I just loved it I enjoy watching you because I think you enjoy what you're doing well anyway I enjoy what you're doing
The whistle sounds like a great self defense device. Just one problem. You gotta ask your attacker to wait for you to put your ear protection on. 🤣
"you always have your leg with you"
person who sent him that probably didnt have a leg to review it with
I think you lack credibility your argument doesn't have a leg to stand on 😄
Bruh lol
I like how you HOP into conclusions
Using the hyper whistle for self-defence sounds cool, until you realize you probably won't have the time or convenience to put in earplugs in a lot of self-defence situations 😅
I designated the whiskey. Glad to see it used!
The whistle is pretty incredible. Heat makes sound travel shorter distances so on a cool night I bet you really could get 2 miles. Would love it if you tested it again when it’s colder (i heard the desert does get chilly?) and have Brandon walk until he can’t hear it. That would be a fun test
10:08 "a medium drink"
that's a large drink in my country lmao
It's large for a drink here too, he's referring to McDonald's cup sizing. The medium is just big - we use ice cubes. They take up half the space.
lol that dog was either hot or freaking out that you were talking to yourself. haha love your videos.

I totally agree on the hot mustard sauce on nuggets, it’s the only way to go.
You just know this guy is a great dad
The whistle is definitely something that can be use and may even save your life if you're lost and have a search party looking for you for example
"You always have your leg with you." Double amputees: "I'm about to end this mans whole career"

*somewhere in a freaky shop
"Get me that drink cozy"
"always have your leg with you"

I have both my legs so it'll still work
I ordered the Toadfish cooler - for those time when I’ve dropped a can and consequently the bottom of the can isn’t flat anymore and won’t sit up.
James is forcing his son to walk the desert to listen for a whistle.

Somebody pat that sweet old dog....that wagging tail and smiling face got to me.
What? No donuts in the parking lot with the koozie? Not a true test! 😆
Like you to test a regular whistle see if he could here it a mile away ... I have a feeling you could
Not sure how I ended up on basic unbox therapy, but nice work bud keep it up! :)
As a wheelchair user... simply hold could be awesome!!
Love that '86 picture! In 86 I was 9, had a mullet with spikes up top and rocked a mean Iron Maiden t-shirt 🤘🤘🤘

I left my baby in the carseat on the roof of my car for a few miles before lol 😆 haha. This video brought back that funny memory!!
Simply Hold is probably a great option for when flying... perfect if you don't want to touch the tray table...
I was using this to drown out environmental noise with my headphones until I could focus on it to watch it. It was nice. That is, until the whistle.....
The hyper whistle looks like it takes a lot of air to get a quick blast. Think I'd just stick with my good old fox 40 whistles.
Wow the things you did was awesome. Everything worked. Love the whistle. Thank you for the great reviews.
You're a bass player! I've been playing bass for more than 50 years. Short scales are the most fun!!
I could imagine the leg phone stand would be pretty convenient for people in wheel chairs on the go.
The thought of a special device (plastic yet) used to hold McDonald's "food" in the backseat of a car is so gross that we need a new word for gross.
Well now I wanna try hot mustard sauce with nugs 😂
