Don't forget to watch the follow up to this video to see how everything worked out on the trip - just follow this link here ua-cam.com/video/eLBs3bjiXCM/v-deo.html
I want to thank you for your videos. When I was younger and healthy, I loved traveling, but part of the fun was hunting for the best kit and getting it all put together. Now I’m bedridden in constant pain even though I’m just 50 y.o., but watching a kindred spirit preparing for a trip let’s me feel that same thrill vicariously through your videos which you clearly put a lot of work into. Thank you for being who you are.
You have become so natural at this. I felt like I'm watching a TV tour guide host in terms of confidence and experience.
Best kits on UA-cam as always!
Thanks Eyal - too kind though 😊
The audience requested, Jon delivered it! 🎉
😊👍
Some people might think “if you want to travel light, then ditch the packing cubes , the soap, the tools” but as someone who worked in the field and carried a 10L backpack I can assure you that one day youll only have a chance to shower in the rain. And that if the hotel toilet doesnt work, a couple tools will save the day. So aim for a comfortable trip like Jon does
😊👍
I'm thankful that the farthest flight I've taken has only been 2 hours, but I will still be taking advantage of these tips the next time I travel by air.
Great
I am impressed. You have assembled a VERY nice, practical, and astonishingly light-weight, compact, warm-weather, travel kit. It's hard to imagine being able to travel internationally anywhere, but especially in Asia, with such a minimal set, but you seem to have gathered everything of necessity. I would only add a cheap, disposable umbrella in situ.
Great to hear - thank you - small umbrella would be a great addition 👍
I'll be traveling by plane for the first in 8 years! I watched a fantastic video on security lines and prep. The instructor gave great advice on preparing for the security checkpoint and one detail I found immensely useful; put your pocket dump in the pockets of a travel jacket and then in the bin. This way, your gear isn't floating around the bin waiting for someone's hand to pilfer something. Thanks for these videos Jon, I've been a fan for about 2 years now, and your content is very well-vetted, researched, and presented. I appreciate your approach greatly.
Jon Super Interesting I would swop put the Jeans, for some trekking trousers/cargo pants as a Thai veteran, jeans are super uncomfy, when hot and went Take care on those motorbikes, and roads as Thai roads are super dangerous and have seem many a Ferang (thai word for westerner) come a cropper
Great feedback - I actually travelling in trekking trousers in the end 👍 Yes, the roads were pretty sketchy - no heard that word before! Everyday is a school day!
Thanks Jon! This video and the get you out of trouble kit for travel have been really useful. I’m traveling to the UK at the end of May and these videos have helped me focus on what’s important and given me ideas for things I wouldn’t have included.
Great to hear and have a great trip 👍
Finally a video on REAL actual carry on luggage . So many posted videos have bags that are actually considered checkin luggage by the MAJORITY of Airlines .
check out the follow up video of it in action!
The bag looks bigger than 28L
I like it!
I'm so happy to see the side by side gear on your travel bag. I hope you enjoyed your trip!!!🤩
Have a great trip, Jon!
Great video as always, have a safe trip!
Hi Jon, brilliant video thanks for sharing, love your attention to detail and some amazing products you're showing here.. Have a safe trip !
many thanks
Great video and another excellent selection. Have a safe and happy trip! :)
Another fabulous video with some inspirational gear. Thanks Jon
great to hear 🙏
Love your videos, great work, thanks so much.
Great video and have fun on your trip!!
Jon your videos are next level man! 👏
Absolutely brilliant video as always Jon and a couple of ideas for my next holiday
Great to hear Mike 👍
As always, excellent content, videography, and editing. Have a awesome trip! Looking forward to the trip report. Thank you, Take care
Good to hear - thank you
Congrats on 100k subs - well deserved!
thank you 😊 much appreciated
Really useful video - thanks Jon. Have a great trip to Thailand.
Thank you
Super interesting packing video! The swimming shorts with a waterproof pocket is quite clever!
Excellent video! Can’t wait to see the recap!
coming up next 👍
This video is amazing. I recently travelled to Thailand for 3 weeks and I vowed I would NEVER take a case on holiday again. I am travelling to Canada in a couple of months and will be taking your advice on items suggested. I will then not struggle with lots of luggage as I move around. Thank you!
Glad it was useful - check out the follow up video to see how everything performed!
Wow Jon; as always very professionally put together and thought out! Thank you for sharing with us! 🌆🌁🛫👣🦉👍😎
Thanks for the great feedback - you're welcome
Thanks for the tips Jon 👍🏻
That's really kind and much appreciated 🙏
Congrats Jon on 100k subscribers Jon! Been watching you since the slower single k days and watched every video
Thanks for the kind words Mike 😊
I lived in Thailand for 6 months. So fun. Enjoy your time.
I did! Follow up due next video 👍
Great video! I always travel with just carry on luggage for work and I have the advantage of flying business for long haul. I tried the minimalist approach for a recent short haul EasyJet trip and plan to do more. Great inspiration here.
great to hear 👍
Jon, fantastic video! Keep up the good work
Cheers
No laptop and charger. No big camera equipment. That will really make your carry-on bag within 7kg from my own experience. Nice to introduce self-laundry in this video using a dry bag to wash the clothing. Nice video, Jon👌.
Yes, used local laundry and had flat detergent sheets as backup - dry bag clothes washing is a great shout 👍
Wonderful! Some great tips to help me plan!
Great 👍
Brilliant video . This is very informative. Thank you .
great to hear 👍
congrats on the 100k man 🎉
thanks so much
Have a good trip, Jon. You certainly seem well-prepared!
👍😊
Great gear, as always, I ordered a few of the items. I really like the rechargeable Nitecore lite headlamp you recommended in an earlier video. It's awesome.
great to hear 👍
Excellent and very practical video - as usual. Very excited to see how all your travel gear worked. 👍🏻
Working on that now for next video - some interesting findings!
@@JonGadget I’m on pins and needles! 😀
Excellent video, lots of great gear and info. Thanks
Great 👍
Some great ideas there, have a wonderful trip!
Thank you 😊
Great content. Love matador. Really enjoyed the camera angles and perspectives. Hope to see videos about the Thailand trip!
Great to know - thanks - next vid is the follow up 👍
Great news congratulations your videos are spot on
thank you
You actually did it. Thanks.
you're welcome
Absolutely brilliant, start to finish. By the midway point I'd already lost track of how many items Jon has that I have to order.
Good to know it was useful 👍
As a backpacks (ruksack) fan I can say, the backpack seems very good for plane travel!
Well, I would suggest for anybody going on a trip for soap is the mini travel size Dr. Bronner‘s soap which is a liquid soap, but you can use it for pretty much anything. A tiny little bit goes a very long way. It’s smaller than a bar of soap and can be used for everything from washing clothes to brushing your teeth even.
I've heard of this stuff - I'll have to check it out!
When in Thailand during the rainy season always carry a dry sack or bag. If you get caught out in the wet wether you can put all your electronics in it or even your sling bag to keep everything dry. Hope you have a good trip to Thailand.
thanks for the suggestion Duncan 👍
Great video, once more. Flying without waiting for luggage that sometimes even gets lost is definitely an EDC goal.
As the summer is starting in our part of the world, protection against the sun is a high priority.
Which sun protection products do you use for EDC, and especially while flying like this?
Loved this! Would love to see all the clothes you packed too!
A bit more detail coming up in the next one on clothes
I am still so impressed you managed to get your sling bag spot on the weight limit!! It did make me wonder however what you edited from your final version. Did you feel you left something(s) out that you later regretted not having? Like others here, I will be picking up a few the featured items before my next trans Atlantic trip coming up next month. Great video yet again Jon, thanks so much.
Thanks for the kind comment Phil. I'll feedback in next weeks video but no regrets (except I should have taken noise cancelling AirPods)
Great video, thanks for taking us through your process of why you chose what you did so thoroughly.
I'm interested in hearing what responses you get about the Gerber Shard tool in your travel kit. I'd also like your thoughts on the camera you're taking. I was looking at that same type for a couple of trips I'm taking next year, and I'd love your thoughts on how it performed. It would be a bonus if you could mention how you think it would do as a UA-cam camera too.
Have a great trip!
My first YT videos used the DJI Pocket 2 as the main camera - now I use it for b-roll when travelling light - I really like it - there are a couple of compromises when trying to manage bright conditions but overall you get a lot in such a small package and the case protects it well and provides quick access - in the next video all the Thailand clips are taken using the DJI - there is talk of a new one coming but hard to know if it's just a rumour.
Congrats Jon on 100m subscribers!!
thank you - much appreciated
I starting using shampoo bars for travel, now using them at home, the soap bags will work great for these.
yes - great option
Very well-thought out setup!
I'd also add a small piece of laminated paper that you can slip maybe in a shoe that contains emergency contact phone numbers in the event that someone steals your kit. People will take phones and wallets etc but a piece of paper won't be of much value in the event that you need to contact friends/family back home
Nice idea 👍
Great product review
thanks
Looking forward to the trip! Hopefully it's not gonna end like '"The Hangover part II"!
you might be surprised! watch next weeks video!
My friends and family are shocked by my travel light approach. Pays off in the end when they are lugging silly trolley suitcases around unstable ground! Great minds Jon etc etc.
I bought the compressed towel tablet things based on your recommendation. They’re awesome. I would take a handful of those over your weird waterbottle bidet thing! That’s just nasty 😂 I’d also chuck an AirTag into each of your bags too. Nice vid as always, mate. Happy travels.
Thanks for the feedback - still prefer the bidet! Compressible towels are great though. AirTags are a given 👍
I wish more people would follow your advice when flying! I hate having anything to carry on to a flight but obviously it’s unavoidable sometimes, especially long haul. I don’t travel as much as I used to but having done so again recently it was maddening to see some people’s carry on bags and the overhead bin battles!
Awesome thanks 🙏
thank you
Pretty helpful and useful video. The only thing I would also take with me is a watch with multiple timezones.
Good shout 👍
I think the only suggestion I would prefer are compressed dry paper towels that expand when wet. I’d put a few in a small Mylar bag (like you taught us). I like the reusable microfiber towel for reusable experiences, but an emergency toilet situation isn’t one of them. 😝
I honestly would cheat a bit by wearing a multi pocket travel jacket. 😁
great feedback 👍
Congrats on the 100,000 subs Jonathan very much deserved.
Did you Maxlvledc giving you a shout out on his channel (in the community section)?
Enjoy your holiday mate. 😎
Thanks Michael, appreciated. I'll check Dom's community post - thanks for the heads up 👍
Hey Jonathan, I've just got my new SEG 28. My next travel video will feature this bag to replace my current minimalist Osprey 33L travel backpack 😊
Great video and great content, Jon! Thank you for sharing.
Say, what’s the brand of the liquids pouch that you display on minute 14:55, that looks big and it seems it can keeps liquids inside the pouch on case of a leak. Can you help me out with this?
Greetings from Mexico.
Great video Jon! Lots of interesting products on your packing list. Was it easy to switch out the Able Carry Max with this SEG28, weight differences aside? After watching your video I'm on the fence which bag I should bring on my next multi-day travels: it's either going to be the Able Carry (from one of your earlier videos) or the SEG28.
Able carry is great and more structured/supportive - tougher I would say too - but SEG is very light and seems to have loads of room - I should try the load out in the Able Carry and see how it fits!
@@JonGadget Thanks, they both seem like great bags. Interested to learn how you find the front pockets on the SEG28, they look smartly done. And that's a good comparison indeed, fitting a similar load out in the max indeed.
Well thought out and minimal. Would recommend adding a Scrubba so you can do larger laundry loads when you travel
I need to check that out👍
17:23 Also known as eye bra!
Solid traveling set up, Matador bags are great. Bought Beast in different configuration myself and I'm very happy with it so far.
🤣 Good to know 👍
Nice way of arranging everything, could learn many things. Just four recommendations:
1. You need to carry 1 tourniquet, a Rats is the one you want. Applicable to small limbs. There is even a Rats tail tourniquet (smaller).
2. The emergency kit should be in your slingbag.
3. There are smaller microfiber cloths, for your glasses.
4. You can purchase empty spray bottles (10ml). There you can pour etanol 70 w/w to use as sanitizer, or carry any important liquid you need in a small, secure and affordable way.
I'll be checking the toothbrush, I am tired of carrying around mine with the wall charger as well.
great feedback 👍 emergency kit was in sling bag when I wasn't carrying backpack 👍 follow up video next
@@JonGadget Nice to know, keep posting the great content. I have learned a lot.
Hi Jon, I love your channel and this video. Can you compare this with the Matador Freerain28 Waterproof Packable Backpack? I have a specific problem. I am travelling to New Zealand and Shipping my motorbike out there ahead of me. Most of my luggage will be on the bike but I will need a backpack that can hold enough for 3-4 days while I wait for my bike to clear customs. It will need to be Hand luggage only, versatile enough for doing the tourist thing and pack away nicely once I have collected the bike.
I might have missed a battery bank somewhere, and a RovyVon light somewhere (in the Maxpedition bag maybe?). Still, so many good ideas and gadgets to think of!
Yep, it's all in the 'get me out of trouble kit'!
@jongadget curious to know why you did not take your Larq bottle. I would think it would be a great place to test it.
Who did you fly with as this backpack is certainly too big for RyanAir cabin bag at 40x20x25? Would love a video with something like this.
What kind of Alpaca Pouch are you using in this video? Curious on the size for this kind of trip. Thanks!
Great video, the eye mask gave me a chuckle. Nice bra Jon! hehe.
yes, does look a bit dodge!
What do you think about items from the Scottievest lineup? I have a lightweight travel vest that I can use in emergencies to stuff the pockets with my heavy gear if the airline gate gets picky. I also have a very lightweight drawstring backpack bag which, in a pinch I could put my laptop inside and wear underneath my jacket to remove my laptop weight from my carry on.
I remember, maybe ten years ago, there was a trend of multi pocket jackets designed especially for this use. Some had a "poacher's pocket". That is a large, zipped pocket at the small of the back which would hold a laptop. You might get two kilos of stuff packed this way.
Hi! As a previous owner of the original SEG lineup, this is a welcome upgrade.
Do you happen to know the internal dimensions of the bucket part? Thank you!
Great video, what happened to the Able backpack? Anyway great list, also have purchased some of your suggestions. Gosh 28 L seems impossible! My last trip 22 pounds not counting the bag. Very interested in the Graphene clothes! Your video on that was excellent. Cheers Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks James. Still love the able carry, it has more structure, just a bit heavy compared at 1.7kg.
I travel by motorcycle often and thought I packed lite....great inspiration for my next travel! I use the same backing cubes, but will looking into the bag.
Good to know it was of interest 👍
Some really lightweight guidelines on that airline.
I got tired washing my underwear every night after a long and exhausting day. Now I have switched to disposable briefs made of pure cotton and they cost next to nothing. They are also very lightweight and take minimal space in my luggage. For those who hate adding these to the landfill you may roll them up and bring them home for a proper wash.
I've heard some people travelling far take an intravenous needle first aid pack, think the brand is Adventure Medical. This would be in place of whatever needles the locals might stick in you. Appreciate that might be heavy and overkill for your trip but one to bear in mind if you go further afield.
That's an interesting one! Might struggle in cabin luggage though!
Great video. Have you heard of a company called Breakwater supply? They have 100 waterproof backpacks (15L& 25L) and they have innovative and functional features.
Love your videos! But the geni-links don't work for me 😢
Timely video, I'm traveling to Japan next week for 3 weeks from California with two carry-on bags.. Any must have tips or things I should bring?
I managed fine with everything in the video - follow up video coming next - should have taken noise cancelling earphones for the plane!
Also, for washing clothes do you buy something local? Or have a dry laundry washing preference?
Laundry so cheap there - but I did carry a few flat sheets of hand wash detergent - light and compact and non-liquid - ended up using laundry though
How heavy does it feel fully packed?
So complete! So good! I only have one request for your female audience to give when possible the equivalent reference. For exemple, I will search for those shorts you can swim with phone in your pocket, they seem great! Anyway, thank you very much, I enjoy watching your vids so much!
Thanks for the feedback - if you follow the link in the description (for the shorts) I believe they do do a female version - I will factor in you comment
Is there anything that you will be looking to pick up as soon as you arrive, even if you don't intend to carry it back again? A small multi-tool for example?
If I was there for a while I would take a utility knife minus the blade and pick up a blade from anything resembling a hardware store - not for this trip though!
Hello Jon,
I need your help. Could you please thell me the name or a link from the usb-cable of the "Philips One Blade"? I cant find it.
Thanks a lot in advance
Daniel
Airlines weigh bags not you. Big pockets are your friend. I'm a photographer so I travel with high dollar, high quality, high weight gear, these things seem to go together. Before check-in I load my pockets with batteries and accessories, then transfer everything back to the bag at the gate
yes - great plan Richard 👍
Have you tried soap sheets and detergent sheets? Soap in the shape of a sheet of paper, hand soap and detergent? Just so you don't have to bring a bar of soap. Have a great trip.
Yes, actually I took some with me last minute, but laundry was easily available so didn’t use
How do you bring back souvenirs?
What prong adapters do you use? are the ones at 14:00 only compatible with that charger?
They came with the charger.
Excellent video Jon.
Surprised you don't take a USB data blocker to stop possible data theft when charging through a wall USB charger.
Cheap as chips and weigh next to nothing.
Good point although I rarely plug into unknown USB sockets - having said that I did on the plane!
I have had lots of problems dealing with Irontide. Bought two pairs of their shorts and one of the Pair was faulty. My car keys dropped straight through the pocket on day one due to bad stitching of the pocket seam.
Gave them a chance to rectify via email. They said they would send a replacement short in 1-2 weeks back in September and not only am i still waiting but they are no longer replying to any emails. I can understand some supply issues but considering they were also sending me emails promoting the very shorts they said they couldn't get stock of I'm not impressed.
These shorts cost way too much for quality issues such as these
I will give an update this if anything changes.
I'm planning to make an extended tour of Europe next year that'll include camping and going to out-of-the-way places. That means taking along stuff that I can't carry on a plane. I hate the idea of paying large fees for what's likely to be no more than a couple of pounds of gear. I've thought of sending it Poste restante, but I'm not sure how to manage that. Any ideas?
Take the train.
what watch are you wearing??
Nice video 👍
