  For toiletry bags I just discovered the north face mini duffel. It doesnt flat pack but its similar to that sea to summit hanging one except it has a built in mirror which I really like

  The light blocking stickers are awesome. So nice not to not have to see red and blue LED lights glaring at you.  I’ve put them on annoying appliances  around my house, too

  Some really nifty gear there. I still recommend you check out the Forclaz ultralight toiletry bag though.

  As for prescription medication, in many countries, these must be in their original packages, and the official prescription letter from your doctor is a requirement upon entry.

  You are my favorite travel/gear YouTube channel. Some of the other more popular ones just keep pumping out garbage now.

  I loved the idea of the tom binh pouch tray, but couldn't get it easily in my country. I used a drawstring make up pouch which gave a pretty similar result. But I've now switched to using an xs eagle creek compression cube. You can alter the size, have it half compressed to create a wider base. And you can hang it up where easier since it only opens part way. Thanks for all your great ideas and testing over the years!

  Man, I have watched so many of these and it's rare I actually find something new- you've absolutely earned a sub. Soooo happy to see someone else mentioning the Minix. I have been singing its praises for years!

  The Bagsmart blast packing cubes are really nice and compress more than any other ones I’ve seen. For needing to pack as much clothes as possible I really like those

  For packing cubes/compression sacks I swear by the Osprey straitjacket design. They’re super light and the zippered top is easy to see inside of. The compression definitely helps with space. I use the small REI packing cubes for socks/underwear and they’re great for that purpose. I’ve had both sets for 5-10 years with no issues of seam ripping or fraying. For cable management, the “u brand” magnetic ties from Target are great because they’re so easy to open/close compared to twist ties or velcro. I also generally go for the REI co-op travel packs for toiletries and organization. They’re cheap, lightweight and sturdy.  And the matador soap bag is amazing.
