Hacker Gear Video - Deviant's Packing Cube

This is another in a series of videos I plan to upload from time to time, documenting the gear and equipment that I and my hacker friends make use of on an everyday basis.

This video showcases a zipper package which perpetually lives in the bottom of my suitcase. When I get home from travel, a number of things are unpacked from my bags... but this always remains. It contains an assortment of incredibly useful "thank god i have this!" series of items. While they might not *all* be useful to you, perhaps some of them would be... so here you go!

Links to specific items you see in this video...

... as always, none of those are Amazon affiliate links or anything like that. I'm not seeking kickbacks or a way to make an extra buck. I just want to share details with folk about what gets me through the day and I hope this video can serve as an answer to lots of the questions that I get regularly asked.

Enjoy!

You're so good at talking succinctly and clearly without sacrificing personality! As a fellow educator, it's inspiring!

I need to get that door stop. Doubles as a neat makeshift lever / pressure applicator.

I have something similar in my deployer bag (god I love the deployer bag) My wife always complains that it is “crap you will never need”. I can’t tell you how many times this “crap” has bailed our asses out, and hence why it is still taking up room in my deployer a decade later.

Really liking these travel/packing videos. There's always a few things you can pick up from other travelers. That door stop is really clever.

[RubberBanned]

I love that there is always links to buy everything you show in your videos.

Good setup there. I'd recommend adding a Tide to Go pen (for stains) and a small sewing kit for if buttons pop off. Another thing I keep in the same type bag is a micro-umbrella. If I'm going somewhere and it's raining, I try to bring an umbrella... But sometimes the weather just doesn't cooperate.

This is handy, very handy. Thank you; it's nice to have a chance to learn from someone else's experience!

Alternative title suggestion: 'The Hitch Hackers Guide to the Galaxy' and to reinforce this pack your towel. :D

[RobertMilesAI]

Having another smaller bag like that is great advice. The best for that I've found though is Osprey's Ultralight StuffPack. 18 litre bag with *real straps* that squishes down to nothing, weighs 90 grams. Always keep one in my backpack

Good to be from Finland. We dont need those freaking bathing suits. Can always go naked

[kalemercer]

Good List and great show and tell Deviant.

[hughcampbell]

You made yourself a Bobby Eaton bag! Beautiful!

[haxwithaxe]

I'm going to have to bring something awkwardly large for you to ship home to shmoocon. Maybe the Stargate.

[Haze]

As someone who likes to pack as little as possible, this was a nightmare to watch :P

[mpodobnik]

Let's see your work/hacker go-bag.

[jimmyryan]

Your idea of nothing is the size of all my luggage.

[LastStar]

8:28 "If you want to make sure that noone is coming in at night" ... that hasn't seen any of my other videos

[joblessalex]

How many different bags do you go with?! This seems to be like 5 different ones now.

[justanothaguy]

So when are you planning on giving up this infosec phase and making travel bags full time?

[plr_hightower]

I found the talk things recently and I was really hoping you'd have a channel
