Product Sourcing:

When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either  purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review.  Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.

I am sometimes sent a product by a supplier which I may include if the product fits planned content and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many product offers are politely declined.

Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding.

Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description.  Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.

If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description.  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.

Replying to Comments:

I really appreciate the feedback in the comments - I find it a source of knowledge and inspiration - so thank you to all of you who take the time to contribute. This is not just for me as the creator, it is a valuable source of information for all readers of the comments. I have recently found that if I continue to respond to all the comments as the number of videos builds, it takes significant time away from being able to produce new content which would be very counter productive! So my aim is to read everything I can and reply when I can, after each video goes live for the first few hours at least, and beyond that when possible. I'll see how that works out 😊

Please consider subscribing and being notified to keep up to date with new video releases.

Thank you for supporting the channel.

Jon. Where have you been hiding the campervan! Would love to see a video on the setup. I’m sure it’s full of thoughtful touches for solving day to day needs. Video on that please!!

[TheNickHorton]

I purchased a rovyvon because of you. Many thanks, awesome flashlight.

[CarlConti]

Happy New Year!
Great products and overview as always.
I have been meaning to try Tomtoc and will start with one of their slings.
All the best, looking forward to you next video!

Great selection. What makes the Tomtoc range a great choice is that they seem to have nailed the balance between Quality and Price. You don't want to have paid so much for some kit that you're terrified to use it in case it gets scuffed!

[Running_AFe]

🥰So pretty look, tomtoc makes a great surprise with the Voyage series. OK, I'll take the Voyage-T50 backpack🎒 for daily use and believe it will excel at the job!😆

[eastwood]

Congratulations on the tomtoc sponsor, still love my tomtoc sling after regular use for the past two years.

[ELaster]

Great list!
Very interested in the TomToc backpack 🎒 Will look into it!

[hoot]

Great video, really interesting gadgets, and you look cool in the new hat!

[garybruner]

As always great info and presentation. Enjoy your take and precise reviews of EDC gear. Happy 2024 to you!

Those power banks look like they could send you through time itself, or something Tom Cruze has to defuse.

Hi Jon, nice to see you back for another years worth of gadgets. Any chance you could do a review of card trackers / tags especially Android compatible ones. Thanks Karl.

[CDBRAK]

I'm glad to see wallet reviews that aren't just ridge style. I need to carry a number of paper cards, receipts, cash, etc. In addition to credit cards. I'll look into the Allet wallets. They look similar to the BigSkinny wallet i currently use. I like that BigSkinny wallets are really thin but have a large capacity and can be good for front pocket carry as well.

[kaiichinose]

Love love love your channel and the review. The Tom toc sleeve is now available in a 13 inch as well which is what I got for my iPad 13 m4.

[ukmidnighter]

Excellent video as always but where can I get that gold tin foil that was modelled by Jamie so well? 😂

[MattSmith]

I'm broke, can you do another budget video please, that's

Great video 👍

[EquatorialVillager]

One thing to mention for people who need DC barrel jack outputs is the PD spec allows for cables (that exist) which will negotiate specific voltages. The catch is you need a separate cable for each discrete voltage unlike something like the charge2 where you can select the required voltage from a menu.

[Yorkshiremadmick]

I have to confirm I am a tight (careful) Yorkshire man and don’t part with my money easily. Upto now, I’ve only bought the Crazy Horse origami wallet and love it. It’s full to capacity but works well.

[ridedownsouth]

The bag looks fantastic, will define checking one out

[crunchynutcornflakes]

Hi Jon, great video as always! Just to make your viewers aware I ordered two Seinxon cards after watching your video a month ago, and two empty boxes arrived in the post today 😢

[davidsaxby]

Nice gear Jon. I know you have a HUGE following worldwide but I’d like to see more products available from UK companies.
