The wallet is a game-changer! I got mine about a year ago and I have not looked at other wallets since. Plus, it survived a wash cycle intact - talk about durability! Can't imagine going back to my old one!

After watching so many of your videos, I finally went on my first 4-day-city trip with a backpack. Obviously my system is still in dire need of improvement. 😂 I packed most things into a 30l backpack. I didn't stuff it to the brim. Used the straps to make it more "compact". As "personal item" I took my Kanken backpack which also served as EDC. On top of that, I put the uniqlo sling so I could have my valuables near me as it was a city trip. Overall, I used almost all items I packed apart from the medical emergency items. 😅

I’ve found it takes alot of practice to work out which things are important to you whist traveling. I wouldn’t be working so my tec requirement are lower but I have health issues which mean I need to take more just in cases so a flare doesn’t ruin a trip. I use a walking aid so backpack are perfect so I still have a hand free for my phone or tickets but it mean I feel the weight more so slimming down anything option is important.

For me a sling is more about not LOSING my stuff once im home. I haven't gotten yelled at for leaving a chap stick in my pocket when it went through the wash, and I no longer lose my keys in the house. It keeps my normal pocket essentials together for quick store runs and i can easily carry a granola bar or two for my kids and an emergency diaper for my toddler without needing a full backpack just to go to the park.

I bought one of the TomToc Slings, the smaller one made of Xpac. I didn't like it. I put the stuff in i wanted to carry, it wasnt much, phone, keys, wallet etc and it felt so heavy and big. I stuff my stuff back into my EastPak The One and it was small and fine. I reckon the bag had too much padding and dividers and such for me, felt like i was carrying more bag than stuff. 🤣

Probably not. There are water pouches that fit in snug places (hydrapak stow) - but then you'll have the weight of the water. I do have that as an option for city adventures - when you can top it off often.

There might come a point where that's a bit heavy for one shoulder carry? I'm not very strong I suppose, after a phone, wallet, battery bank, SAK, Olight, keys and mints etc I've about reached my limit. I couldn't imagine putting a laptop in a sling.

yeah none of the things you said work for normnal people...i mean a sling...where will i put my grocery? and i will always go and buy myself stuf whenever i go anywhere...Also the ID for Romania is almost double the size of a credit card so it wont fit in anything you show...so its useless from the start. Do your documentation before saying here is for everyone because it isnt for people that dont have credi card size ID. its clear you are not a tech engineer, if you where you would have made is smaller and easyer, and cheaper without using brand names. but you use brand names which do the same thing and are manufactured in the same place as cheap things, its only a placebo effect.

The charger shown in the video is actually the Anker 747. It comes with the silicone stabilizer and fits the charger exactly. I don't believe it is available separately.
