What to carry when flying? | Airport EDC!

I don't fly as often as I did in the past but here is a quick look at what comes with me when I am going through TSA and getting on a plane!

Pro tip, bring a backpack and have a rain jacket with zip pockets (or a large game pocket). You can stuff the rain jacket and they can’t call you out on a ‘worn item, ’ even if you strap it to the outside of your carry on. Helps with overweight luggage too, just put the heavy stuff in the pockets of the jacket

_"A lot of people were making fun of me for carrying business cards"_ - You did get the last laugh. Also, you helped encourage folks like myself to try to make it in the YouTube realm.

Something recently that really pushed me into giving it a solid go was hearing someone say *"Don't be afraid to be seen trying."* Often times the only thing different between you and someone living your dream is that they took the steps and were not afraid to be seen trying. 🤘🤘

I'm flying in 4 days this video literally couldn't have come at a better moment, hallelujah 🙏

I appreciate the level of detail and that you highlight upside and downside of products vs just saying everything is amazing. Especially like the palms out to camera for up close on smaller products; super helpful as many store site pictures aren't zoom friendly.

Bought this same bag in the black color way a few weeks back. Said I was only going to use it for Disney trips and the occasional traveling. All of a sudden I’m using it every day. Super handy and comfortable. People are going to hate on it. But, once you get past the purse jokes, this bag is great!

Leatherman Style PS mini multitool. TSA approved/no knife. Its traveled the world (Europe/Asia/cntr America)

Hey Talon I met you outside the airport while waiting for an Uber. Crazy to meet you in person and keep up the great work! Got lots of friends and family to check out your vids just from me being able to meet you. Once again keep up the great work and be safe on all your travels.

Wallet is mission critical. I would not carry that in a separate bag. Pockets for the win.

Good timing on your video! We flew to Newark today headed to Emmaus. Ordered my orange Alpaka pack this morning! Love the idea of stowing my backpack under the seat in front and having all I need for the flight in a compact bag!

I just got my Alpaka Modular Sling today and love it. Very well made.

I just returned from a trip to my favorite idyllic Thai beach on Koh Phangan. Transiting Seattle, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, the best item I had in my (15 pound max) bag was the Lion Energy Trek. That thing kept my devices topped off wherever I was. And I never had any problems by airlines with carrying it onboard. I keep my carryon to the minimum and never check anything, so my needs are bare bone without frills. And always the contents are inserted and packed in waterproof clear food storage bags. My decade old Eagle Creek rectangular duffel style bag has never had a zipper fail in the many times I’ve overstuffed it. With air whistling out on the sides as it slides perfectly into the personal sized boarding counter’s test box, I’ve never shed a tear for being sent to the Airline’s penalty counter to immediately pay their $100 fee for oversized carryon, where size matters. Nor are there ever ‘I’ve been pickpocketed’ tears because my documents, cash, and credit cards are discreetly carried in a cross chest sling bag that stays pancake flat. Decades of shoestring international travel have paired down what is needed from what is ‘I might like having that’. Fair Winds.

I really like this bag. Also used it on my recent trip. The front pocket is hard to fit a phone into, but I started putting a hank in there. Doesn't take up much space and has microfiber to clean screens, glasses etc.

On the flight, I carry an Olight Baton 3, and a Bic lighter with gorilla tape wrapped around it. I do have to check a bag, so edc multi tool and pocket knife go in that bag. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸

I’ve added a Leatherman Style PS multi-tool. No knife. So I’ve breezed through TSA.

I travel with tools, so I have to check a bag. On the plane I carry a small pack similar to yours with what I need during the flight. Wired noise cancelling earbuds (the batteries last for a year or more), reading glasses, lens wipes, Powerbank and a multi headed charging cable for Iphone, Android and Micro USB devices. And a snack because I'm tired of pretzels and Biscoff. I hang it from the seatback in front of me with a Heroclip for convenience. Also my 9" tablet loaded with stuff to watch. My backpack goes in the overhead and that carries my laptop, camera gear (a mirrorless micro 4/3 travels well), and travel CPAP. Sometimes I will risk putting the CPAP in checked luggage (padded well and in the middle of the bag) so I have room to bring my compact drone. That depends on where I am going.

So I have a have on my person a leatherman ps style, a geek key multi tool, a stream light micro stream, a Vicks vapor inhaler, ballpoint pen g5, my phone, Raycon earbuds, small bic lighter, and in my bag a gerber boxcutter minus the blade, with a pressurecult Nomad minus the blade.

Been using alpaca gear for a couple of years now. Couple of sling bags, small and large keychain, wallet phone holder, AirPods holder. Alpaca is an amazing brand.

I try to make EVERYTHING an adventure. It doesn't matter if I'm going to the grocery store, or traveling by plane, train, bus, ferry, or Lyft.
So, I leave my "This is a pain in the ass attitude" at home. When everyone else is bitching, moaning, and complaining about going through security, having to wait for their coffee, or I'm behind someone scratching lottery tickets at the gas station, I can practice some patience, look around, smile, say a kind word to someone, etc.
It just makes everything I do a lot easier. All the best to you...Mark

I used to live in Denver and the footage of DIA brings back great memories.

Great video!!! If I don't check a bag, then I ship whatever I want to have with me to the address I am staying or I keep a small safe and a bag with clothes, hygiene items, medications, a small emergency kit, an empty sling bag, and whatever else I want/need to have there (I do that at my parents house since I fly there fairly often). That leaves my small backpack and my fanny pack on me. I don't really care about what others think of my set up, because I do what works for me.
