Is this what a grocery haul video is? Did Drew trick me into watching a grocery haul?

Can't believe we got to see Drew's underwear. You're getting me all hot and flustered here.

Just realized that the clothing he takes probably will help a lot with continuity.

When this video started I was like "Hey I love drew but I'm not going to watch him pack his bags for 23 minutes" Hey guess who just watched drew pack his bags for 23 minutes and loved every blinking-white-guy second of it

I think it's safe to say that Drew Scanlon is the coolest human being I can think of.

I love how thorough this video is. Makes me inspired to go myself.

Stay safe Drew!!

Dr. Bronner's has THE BEST BOTTLE TO SIMPLY AND ENJOY LIFE MORE! ALL-ONE!

Wow, Drew, great job with the links in the video description. That must have taken forever.

Awesome that you link everything! THANKS

Project Fi representing! Awesome service!

Have a great time Drew, really excited for you

These are some Kramer-ass laundry techniques lol

Man... the way you are organized is kinda inspiring

Go do your thing, sir. We'll be watching.

Asides from being a Ziploc bag magnate and world class pharmacist, Drew's suddenly become the best KZfaqr! Good luck Drew!

This is EXACTLY how I pack, down to the red folder (mine's black, however). I try to stay as efficient as possible. The only additions over yours is that I do bring a rain jacket, along with more clothes, haha. I also keep a set of clothes in my backpack, because I've been on flights where they made everybody check in their overhead luggage, so just in case my main luggage gets lost, I always have at least one of everything on me.

Patrons getting that deep dive on all things Drew including that box of q-tips.

Remember proper ear plug technique reach over your head and tug lightly on the top part of your ear to straighten the ear canal as you insert the ear plug

my wife is a wedding photographer and has been using that backpack the past year, she loves it

Some people say Drew looks like Dexter. I think he looks more like a young William H Macy. Safe travels in Ukraine, Drew!

Fuck yes Drew. Get it! Miss you in Giant Bomb content, but this looks to be just so awesome as well! Loving the Metal Gear references you drop now too, by the way.

Good luck Drew! I'm really looking forward to your adventures in Ukraine!!

Informative as all hell! Bonus points for all the links in the description!

Drew you could probably also wash your vegetables in the shower once you're done with your laundry. Saves time and makes a great salad!

Shampoo and conditioner OSP. There's a guy prepared for any impromptu top-secret black op.

Oh, and my suggestion on pants is these black cargo pants made for servers I've found. They're comfortable, seem not to absorb smells as easy, and have an extra slim pocket made for an order pad that is perfect for my phone when I don't need it in my jacket pocket and it's not an obvious pocket for thieves. Living homeless in Detroit means playing defense.

Now they're going to think all Americans are professional, organized, fit male models with long flowing locks of majestic hair... on second thought, Drew is the perfect ambassador! good luck Drew, can't wait to see what you come up with!

This has been my favorite video so far. It's interesting to see how other people pack and travel. It makes me feel like I'm not organized at all when I travel

As someone who travels pretty frequently, it was good to see someone else's techniques. Thanks, Drew. Can't wait to see what's next.

Noise cancelling headphones are a godsend, as are sleep masks. Safe travels Drew, awesome seeing your travel stuff.

Godspeed, Mr. Scanlon!

This is a supremely useful video! Saving it for later use, there's so much good advice here.

The boots Drew has are the Ecco Ian High, discontinued but you can still find them. I just bought a pair and they are in fact the best boots i've ever had! I called their customer service who was able to get one of their stores with inventory to ship them to me for free.

"Shampoo and conditioner: OSP." All right. Okay.

*clicks plug into adapter with deadpan delivery toward the camera* "That's how that works." Haha I enjoyed that way more than I should have!

"Pills here!" Good one, Drew. :D

Really good packing tips for any trip!!! Wow!!! And seriously don't forget pants 😂 I can't wait to see the vid from the road!!! Travel safely!!! ❤️

I can't think of too many other people who I'd listen to about how they wash and wear their shirts. Anyways, this is super thorough and that's brilliant. And yes! FF7 continues!

IT'S HAPPENING!

Thank you for making want to travel, its so easy to get caught up in day to day life/ stress, work, school etc. It’s exciting to be excited about the world again. I feel like a lot of scary world events have made traveling seem scary and unfulfilling. However, you do a great job of showing us that there is still a lot of fun to be had.

I use those same earbuds while I commute via the Ferry to SF every day. I can sit right next to the engine room and it's nice and quiet. They work wonders on planes. They don't do great at blocking out high pitch things, so car horns and plane intercoms come through just fine.

I wish I could be as organized as Drew.

I have extremely sensitive skin and I use Dr. Bronners for skin, beard and hair with no problems. Also that Anker charger is incredible for all you people out there! It has this thing called "IQ charging" that makes it so you can charge something with a heavy draw like a tablet (2mah) and something like a phone (1-1.5mah) and they'll charge at their respective max rates. Those cheap little USB chargers can't do that, they usually are just 1mah and your thing takes forever. *The more you knowwwww*

Definitely rewatching this when I eventually travel!

Drew with the puffy coat!

Dear Drew, I just subscribed. I was only ever briefly, once, subscribed to Giant Bomb but I've been following Gerstman's rag-tag irregulars since the days of the Hot Spot. I don't even play video games and haven't for years. like all the other scamps that have come and gone from the site at some point you stole my heart too and now I'm really happy I actually get to watch something from you I'm interested in. By choice I live out of my car in Detroit and I got some good shit from this video. I too am a somewhat light traveler. Unfortunately I don't live out of my car, using public WiFi, because I have money to give you, but I'll keep watching and doing what I can to support you. Good luck!

I'm going to Japan this summer and this is really useful. Cool Drew is cool!

23 minute video! Can't wait.

Great vid. Can't wait to see the next one!

Man, that must have been really satisfying to organise.

im 100% with you on those floss sticks, i will not dental care any other way and ive got a GREAT smile.

am i the only one who thinks Drew's hair is magnificent? i cant take my eyes off it.

Bronners is awesome stuff. You can clean yourself or you can clean other stuff with it. It can be a little drying, but you can use it for face soap, body soap, shampoo, then use it to clean whatever else. Discovered it a few years ago and always have some on hand around the house.

We have the exact same running shoes! The GT-2000 is an awesome model and I've been buying it for years.

Thanks, Drew.

Can't wait to see what Ukraine has to offer!

That hard drive is super slick. *checks price* *faints*

Those BOSE noise cancelling headphones, even the earbuds, are nothing short of amazing.

Have fun Drew!

Thanks, Drew! I'm going overseas for the first time and I just got a ton of stuff based on your suggestions.

safe travels, Drew!

I have that watch myself. Absolutely love it.

Good ol' Biriyani-Brad. His love if biriyani knows no bounds

Totally awesome! Can't wait to see what comes next! Stay safe out there ☺

Just happened to be planning a trip to Germany. This vid has saved me a shit ton of research in regards to compartmentalizing my junk. Cheers on your journeys! Have fun.

Thank god for the pants! Man this was far more detailed than I could have anticipated and I'm sure fits into some other video genres on here... but have a great trip dude!

Drew ur food is the best. Sometimes I like acting like a baby (diaper and all) and I always eat those Superfoods to fully get into character. Great choice!!!

So organized! Love it.

In regards to 'outdoor' pants that still look good, I highly recommend Outlier pants. I just got a pair myself and am loving them

Drew was planning on going pantsless this whole time, but was told it was against airport policy.

Good luck Drew!

that's a hell of a lot of stuff to be going through security with.good luck!

Great advice drew! Only thing I'll add and say is that when you travel, you should really go on the "Drew" model rather than taking everything you can model. As a general rule of thumb: Whatever you think you're taking / 2 That's the minimum! I'd actually say dividing it by 3 is probably the better and more realistic option. Personal request: Drew. Please tell us after your trip how that crazy pillow worked out for you. I've been looking for a good travel pillow for a while but have yet to find a good one that works for me. :)

I picked up that ANKER battery for my Switch. Thing is great. I am going to need to pick up that hidden money pouch

"This is toddler food, for 4 year olds -- *but also for Drew!*" I'm on the bus right now and I don't know why, but hearing that made me burst out laughing, very awkward.

So i don't travel far or often at all, but I have the ambition to travel more in the future is my economic situation improve and I can honestly say I will use this video as my go to source for packing preparation reminders on what to bring.

Wooo Drew!

Pants recs for you Drew: Outlier Slim Dungarees are good, as are Cotopaxi Samburu pants (Rebranded LEDGE if you remember the kickstarter). Others have good experience with Prana Zions, but I'm not a huge fan.

I love your attention to detail lol

Of course, how could Drew possibly NOT be a fellow floss pick man.

Please don't store those pear drink/juice things so close to your cameras!! One little puncture or pop, and it's goodbye everything! At least maybe double bag them!? (speaking of double bagging, I second someone's earlier suggestion of condoms..... You never know.... Safety first, and all that jazz.... (also they can be used as emergency packaging if something does leak...SAS Standard Issue!))

If you're finding that the SD cards are getting unruly to carry around I use the Pelican 0915 memory card case to keep my SD cards organized while traveling. It's super bulletproof and smallish. Super good buy. www.pelican.com/us/en/product/watertight-protector-hard-cases/micro-case/memory-card-case/0915/

Stoked you got a Pixel. Such a great phone. Great camera, too

Kudos for the tiny Left 4 Dead reference.

For pants try Prana's Stretch Zion/Brion pants for non-jean, not super campy looking synthetic trousers. Say no to jeans while travelling!

Also I really love how Drew has left Giant Bomb and STILL refuses to tell people what hair product he uses.

Excitement!!

Don't forget 2 pennies, for the boat man. And Pez.

Drew check out Outlier slim dungarees. they look like jeans but are synthetic and super fast drying.

Dude is a machine!

_Metal_ Gear?

General Razor *salutes*

Just 2 pieces of clothing ey? That's very minimalist, I'm not sure it would be enough for me, unless I'm going for just a few days. :)

I like the backpack

Can't wait

Don't forget pants Drew!

I could watch you pack for hours weirdly, but I would separate the lens and the camera in that bag

I sleep with a sleep mask every night. also my portable charger is 16,000mah so 20k is probably pretty good. you can probably charge a phone at least a half dozen times with that.

check out 0.5mm mechanix brand gloves, great for travel; and treacherous areas!
