This is the perfect affordable everyday

00:02

tech setup. Last year, I showed you my

00:04

high-end everyday carry and the single

00:06

most requested thing. Do it again, but

00:09

make it budget. So, ever since then,

00:11

I've been in the background filtering

00:12

through thousands of products online and

00:14

testing literally hundreds of products

00:16

in person until we got to this. A setup

00:18

that is dark mode, where everything is

00:20

USBC, that makes sure you have the best

00:22

tech with you at all times, that you

00:23

will never run out of charge, where it's

00:24

almost impossible to lose anything,

00:26

you'll be able to pack for a holiday in

00:27

literally 60 seconds, all while costing

00:30

a fraction of my original everyday carry

00:32

while also in a lot of ways somehow

00:34

being better. And the bag is the

00:36

backbone of that. So, for $130, the

00:38

Almond Oak travel backpack is this

00:41

thing's the pinnacle. So, this is a very

00:42

small company. It's literally designed

00:44

by one dude. But what's kind of nice

00:46

about that is you're getting that one

00:48

dude's completely unfiltered take on

00:50

what makes the perfect backpack. And it

00:52

just so happens that theirs is pretty

00:54

close to mine. Like this thing is

00:56

insanely light. It's got pockets in all

00:58

the places you need them, but not with

01:00

like every inch of the thing being

01:01

divided up like you get on some bags. It

01:03

doesn't have that I'm off on a

01:05

backpacking trip kind of vibe, which a

01:07

lot of the other good ones at this price

01:08

do, but it still has the capacity to be

01:11

able to let you. Like I think you're

01:13

going to be quite shocked at how much

01:14

I've managed to fit into here. The only

01:16

things I've noticed are missing are it

01:18

would be really nice just to have one

01:19

quick access area over here for

01:21

sunglasses or gum or a pen, but then I

01:24

think this doesn't have that on purpose

01:25

to make it less appealing to thieves.

01:27

The zippers are not waterproof, but the

01:29

rest of the bag is. And the zippers not

01:32

being waterproof is what allows them to

01:34

operate much smoother. So the point

01:36

being there's not a lot of problems

01:38

here. But we have only just started

01:40

cooking because in here is the sacred

01:43

card protector wallet. Let me tell you,

01:46

I have been through my fair share of

01:47

wallets. I've been through ridge

01:48

wallets. I've been through Ross wallets.

01:50

I've been through folding wallets. I've

01:51

been through pouch wallets. But this is

01:53

the best wallet that I've tried while

01:56

being about half the price. Now, I get

01:57

it. On the face of it, it does just look

01:59

like I'm recommending you buy a sheet of

02:01

metal. But there's actually some very

02:02

important touches. There's a little bit

02:03

of fabric on each side, which creates

02:05

the pressure needed to hold your cards

02:07

in place without scratching them. You

02:09

can fit five cards into this wallet very

02:11

easily, and that's making sure that none

02:13

of them are brushing against each other,

02:15

which is one of my big pet peeves. To

02:17

use the thing, you just flick this lever

02:18

here, and they don't just come out, but

02:20

they come out in this fan, which makes

02:21

them easier to see and to grab. And this

02:23

lever is where you can really tell the

02:25

difference between this and a low

02:27

quality wallet. Like, just listen to how

02:28

this sounds compared to how this sounds.

02:32

The only critique I have is it can be a

02:34

little bit fiddly to get hold of this

02:36

middle cart, but then I haven't tested

02:38

any other wallets that particularly

02:40

solve that issue. So, I love this thing.

02:41

I think it oozes minimalism without

02:44

shafting function in the process. Right.

02:46

So, keys in here. Oh, yeah. This is

02:49

another thing I really like about this

02:50

backpack. In the original version, this

02:53

was all one pocket, but then there was a

02:55

bunch of user feedback that all the

02:56

stuff in this pocket was collecting at

02:58

the very bottom. So, the creator then

03:00

added this very subtle stitching in

03:02

between to separate the two, which to me

03:04

makes each of these two halves the

03:06

perfect sweet spot. It's the small

03:07

things. So, this is a key organizer from

03:10

Orbit Key, and I just can't recommend

03:12

this enough. This is the lowest price

03:14

that you can pay for something like this

03:15

without the product feeling like it's

03:16

cheaped out in any way. It's adjustable,

03:18

so they say it keeps seven keys. I would

03:21

say that's optimistic, but you can

03:22

assume five quite easily. The important

03:24

thing is that it keeps your keys

03:25

together. It stops the racket and the

03:27

scratching of having them constantly

03:29

clanging into each other and all your
