Since this video includes a pretty ridiculous number of gadgets 😅, make sure to check out my Amazon Storefront, where you’ll find every product I’ve recommended on this channel so far:<br><br>👉 <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/gearupyourlife">https://www.amazon.com/shop/gearupyourlife</a>

I maintain that using laundry sheets instead of detergent is better for one or two bag travel. It’s not a liquid and most work very well. Plus, they can be cut up for smaller loads.

That moft wallet doesn't look like it has the strongest magnet unfortunately, it looked like it was sliding around when you were handling it

Hey, guys! As some of you may have noticed, I took a slightly longer break for health reasons and gave myself some proper time off. But as you can see, I’m back and the regular upload schedule is continuing as usual.<br><br>A quick giveaway update: the winners will finally be selected and announced at the end of next week. I know this is much later than originally planned, and I’m genuinely sorry about the delay. There will still be a separate results video, just as I promised in the newsletter.<br><br>For all the new viewers: you still have approximately one more week to enter!<br><br>And one small note about today’s video: this one is intentionally more of a compilation featuring the best carry-on gadgets I’ve tested this year. Naturally, several of them have already appeared in previous videos.. that was the entire idea this time.<br><br>But next week, we’ll be back with completely new travel gadgets, and I think many of you are going to love them. Thank you for sticking around! 🙌

Don't usually comment but these things are actually practical to have and not just gimmicky and/or sponsored and/or trendy items and this is coming from an airline crew. Enjoyed the vid, great work!!

The accessories pouch in the tripped travel kit works great for an extra pair of shoes as well. Im a size 12 and I can still get an extra pair in there

Johannes, you are not allowed to take this long off again, buddy! 😂. We missed you, man, and I hope you’re feeling better! You’re too young for health issues. Take care! Great video and thank you. Never be afraid to update your buy once cry once gear. It’s a good balance to have. Thanks again, my friend!

Welcome back hope you are recharged. Good that you have time off, perhaps put a short note saying having time off.

Instead of the Elebase Multi USB-C Adapter Kit, I suggest the Toocki 4-in-1 Multifunction USB Adapter Set which can be found on Aliexpress for $5~ or less. It works the same way but has a built in mirror and phone stand, while remaining just as thin if not thinner. I've been using it for over a year and it has saved me several times when I need an extra cable or adapter
