Hope y'all enjoy this one! You can also check out the companion video where Ali Abdaal and I chat about our daily gear on Nebula: www.curiositystream.com/thomas What's your favorite piece of EDC gear?
Loving the Nebula EDC chat with Ali! It’s like one of the purest nerd distillations; comparing gear and getting ideas about how to do things differently, things to buy, apps to get… I love how you can see where both of you had the, “ooh, this is cool and I didn’t know about it but I want it!” moments 😍😎 I also enjoy the colour of your shirt(s) 💚
“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.” Sharing some love from small TH-camr. I am believe in you even if I don’t know you.
I love the laptop + tablet combination. This is especially true for students. For most classes, a tablet is a great choice to have. For more advanced work, a laptop is essential.
I love the E-Bags Pro Slim Laptop Backpack you had in your 2019 "What is in My Bag" video. I have used it ever since you put up that video, and it still is in mint condition! I am a graphic design student, and I need to carry a second screen, a laptop, mouse, charger, and an emergency kit. It's the perfect bag for me and is my #1 favorite, so I thank you so much!
Oh my god! This is sort of like a "bag" adulting level up stuff which is a refreshing change by the way. The last time I viewed the circa 2017 "what's in my backpack" video was already awesome for me. This feels like I have grown up as well just by watching this. Great job!
Respect for not showing (on or not on purpose) the greatest most maxed out specced equipment that you spent $24k on! 💙, stuff we viewers benefit from..
I also love the 12 mini. It’s easy to use and about the battery… I know it’s weak but, it charges in less than an hour. So it’s better. Big iPhones has to wait more than an hour to full charge
Great video! You should do a video like "what's on my laptop/phone!?" like if there's any apps that you use that you live by or helpful things you have on your devices or maybe any productivity apps like taskade or something!
Ok, first off……THE legendary Thomas Frank. First time viewer, but……Rene sends his regards. Now, I enjoyed this video. Simple but concise. And loved the shoutout to Seth. Haven’t caught his podcast in a long while (Akimbo) but I loved it. Very life lessons/insightful series.
The secret wallet has an additional feature: The NFC chip of all the five cards in the aluminum case part of the wallet is protected from being read from the outside via the aluminum. There were some serious privacy and security problems when the nfc chips came out some years ago and that gave rise to the idea of the secret wallet. At the beginning the "minimalist" nature of the wallet was secondary.
one tip instead of the voice memos you could use the drafts app on the watch and your ideas get saved as text instead of audio, easier to find the ideas later :)
Just want to say, I generally don’t like “what I do in my day/home/life” videos. However! I’m a tech challenged teacher trying to learn new tech skills & gear. I appreciate this little tid bit of managing your gear, what people “in the know”, use & how. Thanks! ✌️
What amazes me about these videos is how much a person can carry. When I bring my MB Air, 12.9 iPad, Bose 700, a Kindle and maybe a charger, my back will hurt. Maybe it’s just me but I find carrying an mobile office very tiresome and sometimes downright painful. If I add a GoPro, a tripod, some coins, an external hard drive, it is very uncomfortable.
I would love to start using my own everyday carry bag. I would add my MacBook Air, soon to be iPad, my iPhone XR, and flash drives. Other than that I’m not sure what to add. 🤔
You should switch to the wf 1000xm4, they have fantastic noise cancelling, fit in your jean pocket and are sweat/water proof. 90% of the noise cancelling for 10% of the size
Those are the bud versions, right? I have Airpods Pro for that purpose, but I am testing the over-ear XM4 for my headphone video. I'd agree that the noise cancelling is about equal to the Airpods Max. A lot of reviews say the APM are slightly better, but to my ears they're about the same. However, I much prefer the sound of the APM, which is one of the reasons I'll be keeping them - even though I do think the XM4 are the best in terms of overall value for the price.
I got such tiny hands, that the 11 inch keyboard works great for me! Those headphones from apple, are a strictly stay out at your desk headphones on a nice stand. Those cord keepers can be bought on places like Wish and AliExpress. If you ever come to Denmark, leave the pocket knife at home, the blade is big enough to get you into trouble with the law here. I wish Otter had an watch OS app. How far can you travel on that battery before it needs recharged on your bike?
I just got a fairly cheap zipper case for the Apple headphones, so now they're on par with all the others for portability. Yep, never travel with the knife! I can't go on planes anyway. I also have to leave it home whenever I go to Boulder, as they have way stricter knife laws than the rest of Colorado. Otter Watch OS app - yes please. I've been hounding them on Twitter about it. I have a Trek Allant, and the battery will do about 105km on Eco mode. I got the Range Extender battery installed, so my bike's range is more like 185km now.
11:00 Nice to see real secrid wallet on TH-cam videos =) Now a days TH-cam are full of reviews of wallets where they have copied that mechanism from secrid
iphone 12 mini is awesome! you don't need to take your HD 55" TV to the bar people lol. Also nice to not look like you're walking around with a brick in your pocket
I tried that one a couple years ago - it’s a great laptop, but for me it just can’t beat a MacBook. Windows Laptop is the closest for build quality, but you can’t spec it out quite as high so it’s not as good for editing
Hi Thomas! As always, you are very inspiring to me and to a lot of people! I would like to ask you a small question: could you share your e-bike's brand and model name at minute 1:03? Thank you in advance! :)
It's just so loud lol Also I don't think I'll ever be a credit card guru - I know I can technically max out value using a ton of travel cards and the like, but I really just like the simplicity of a single cash-back card 😅
Ha! Funny, I love my iPhone 13 mini, doesn’t have a telephoto lens but *cough Moment telephoto lens works better. Why? The native telephoto lens on iPhone13 is known for being soft, according to many online reviews from very well knowing professional reviewers.
Don't you get knee problems? You saddle seems way to low. Just my opinion. If you have problem while riding you should check that out. Althoug I can't imagine you didn't optimize your commute :-D Thanks for the vid though
I agree. The 700’s are my least favorite in the comparison, other than the fact that the Surface Headphones hurt the top of my head after a while. AirPods Max are by far my favorite, and after that I’d say it’s a toss up between QC35’s and XM4 based on whether you care more about max comfort or max noise cancelling.
Hope y'all enjoy this one!

What's your favorite piece of EDC gear?
My favorite part was the keys... i am glad you also don't have the same as mine!:)
Galaxy buds

This 600 point cap on the fitness competition is preventing either us from winning, and probably saving me from killing myself trying to beat you 😂
I say this at our own peril: apparently the points are based on ring percentages, so if we set our ring goals higher…
@@Thomasfrank Which is exactly why I brought my daily calorie goal down to match yours. I had 680 previously.
@@RealEngineering alright, next competition we'll bump it up

Thomas: "Thanks again for watching and I'll see you in the next video, stay cute."
Does that mean you're my dad now?
Lol "I'm not your dad" seems to have an uno reverse
this video just called me broke in every conceivable way possible
Right? It feels like a huge flex😂😂
If you think this is a flex, watch any Ali Abdaal video
I got Nebula. Wasn't disappointed despite having some pretty high expectations.
Oh my god! This is sort of like a "bag" adulting level up stuff which is a refreshing change by the way. The last time I viewed the circa 2017 "what's in my backpack" video was already awesome for me. This feels like I have grown up as well just by watching this. Great job!

I love the aesthetics and editing of this video so much. Also obsessed with watching what’s in my bag videos 💖

@@highonkola6142 yes it's, this guy got some knowledge id admit it, but super greedy just want money doesnt care abt anything else.
As a Canadian, I am very curious how our $$ got promoted to pick case lol
It's plastic and worthless /s
Its foldable plastic that can be manipulated to keep the picks in and still stay thin.
Another video of "I want that....." series.
Finally a personal video ...And that bag is cool
EDC videos are weirdly fascinating to me. :D
Megaman zero AND Hollow knight, you've got great taste !!!

Tony is 100% correct. The Secrid wallet is great. I’ve had one for 5 years and can’t see me ever switching to another.
Has it worn down? Also, is it pretty much unisex?
@@wolficeir it’s worn well, they use quality leather. Yes, I’d say it was unisex. There’s lots of different combinations you can get.
Awesome stuff, man!! It's obvious, they were selected very thoroughly. Really appreciated for sharing!

Really looking forward to watching it! Would change the thumbnail though, but still huge potential!
Just recently watched the previous video and thought it would be time for an update 👍
3:45 I really recommend the Sony’s WH1000XM4
Absolute legend
Dang that thumbnail 🤩
Great! Video! Loved it! The folder idea is so obvi yet I’ve never thought about it! And low reach to boot!😂🤣😍
That pocket tripod 😍🙌🏽🥳 so cool! Adding this to my EDB. Thank you Thomas 💪🏼
MegaMan zero and Hollow knight in consecutive B roll. Subbed.
hey thomas one question. i'm sold on the idea of getting an online fitness coach. where did you get yours?
bro your biceps have grown like 8x since i first saw u
I would love to start using my own everyday carry bag. I would add my MacBook Air, soon to be iPad, my iPhone XR, and flash drives. Other than that I’m not sure what to add. 🤔
I laughed how small the iphone forbin your big hands. Made it look like some sort of toy😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Btw your channel is improving my life 🙂🌼 thanks! ✨💕💖😎👽🚁🦓.

Looking forward to the headphones review! Thinking of getting a pair myself recently.
The Secrid wallet is also RFID protected so your card can’t be scanned. A great extra safety feature 👍
Can you explain RFID and how people can scan it?
Care to share the wallpaper of the iPad shown in the thumbnail? It looks fascinating.
LOVE The Hollow Knight sticker!
Actually out of all gear I like the shirt you are wearing the most :) Can you maybe please provide the brand?

Love my Bose Q35s headphones (light, comfortable). Would maybe buy them again instead of upgrading. Great video.
