4:30 I use a Staedtler Lead Holder as my pencil since I've got a pretty heavy hand and tend to "write with purpose". Works great and it's the sturdiest I've used so far. I love that it's like a cross between a mechanical and wooden pencil.
My favorite mechanical pencil is the Uniball Kuru Toga - they have so many variations of it, and I honestly have never used a better mechanical pencil. Might be on the pricier side but it's really a premium piece of gear and it works really well.
Nice. I'm still looking for the perfect backpack myself. I like the thirteen day from able carry too, but it's too high. I use a 14'' laptop, so 43 cm of backpack is useless to me. Someday I will find a small backpack that still comes with most acesories.
I’ve always really liked North Face as a solid alternative because of the design, pockets, and price is typically half or even a third of the options I mentioned in this video. This is one similar to the one I also use: amzn.to/3Lvi0Qx
For an EDC pencil, I'd recommend the uni kuru toga roulette. It always stays sharp as most small graphite gets a flat edge as you go. A kuru toga roulette rotates the lead as you lift it off the page and always keeps it sharp. I'm a professional artist and I use it in my sketchbook pencil sleeve.
No ones ever told me why X pac is better than 500D or polyester or Cordura or whatever. Ive figured out that its thin and light. But making thin plastic fabric isnt special. I dont get it. Its not even waterproof as i understand it. Whats the big deal?
Good question. From my research, the basics of it are that it’s light, rainproof, UV-resistant, and abrasion-resistant. It’s mainly not waterproof if you submerge it for x amount of time. I’d be more concerned about the zipper opening areas and stitching being the weak points if water were to get into the backpack. From a marketing perspective, they advertise that X-Pac material was developed as a go-to material for sailcloth. I believe sailboats originally had an issue with previous material tearing. The other thing I found was that the diamond shape in the material is strategically done that way to reinforce the layers to provide better stability, tear strength, structure, stretch, and help with distributing heavy loads more evenly across the fabric. I’d be interested in what other materials are out there as better alternatives and also a breakdown of the pricing of each, as I know that’ll play a decent factor in large-scale manufacturing.
What else do you you think my backpack setup needs?
An optimus prime
Small Med Kit nothing too crazy Mymedic sells cool packs. A pocket knife, Benchmade Bailout tanto style is pretty dope.
Where can I get the astronaut key chain? It looks really cool.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I reviewed the able carry max a while back and I really loved it. Great bag
For a great pen you can go with the wingback mechanical Pen. Designed to fit the Fisher space pen cartridge. Very solid. I love mine 😊

When are you going to make a halloween gaming setup console and pc for your room with a color orange and purple
How is a backpack worth $250+ going to help with my EDC when there are others less than $100?
what's wrong with the backpack you have?

@@LeeLechner I will check it out, thank you!
Take a look at 5.11, Maxpedition, Thule and Alpaka
Nice review. The Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Mechanical Drafting Pencil is great and only costs around $8.
I agree especially since it will retract the tip to protect itself and your bag.
bro your volumes from sections to sections are not matched
Rotring Makes fabulous mechanical pencils
Sweet! Thank you!
Goddamn backpacks are so awesome
Great setup!!
Nice editing, thank you❤
I'm confused. Are you reviewing Able Carry, or the whole gear shop?
Pentel Graphgear 1000 is an awesome mech pencil
