I miss Mythbusters, yes. But after discovering this channel, I found out how much I just really enjoy hearing Adam ramble. His thought process. His vernacular. It's all here. And so am I 👌
Except when he decides to make politically charged comments (which he used to do in the Tested podcast, uncertain if he does it here in his TH-cam channel or if he is more focused on the process) made me stop being a fan of his.
@rosephjosenbaum7130 I don't agree with the "we are screwing up the world" comment either as "global warming" is a trend that has happened before, is happening now, and will happen again. Mother nature releases more CO2 and other noxious gases with one volcanic eruption than most countries could in a year. Most liberals and people from "hollywood" do their song and dance about the other side but look at San Francisco now. Full of homeless, tent cities, empty store fronts, and steady and rising crime rates.
What about mechanical pencils? About 5 years ago I abandoned the plastic crap ones and now rely on my single Pentel GraphGear 1000. I lose it or break it every year or so and just buy another.
I left the littoral hell hole that is texas because it was too hot. I could hardly work in the heat and once my co-worker dies from heat stroke I booked it. You guys are all assholes enjoying and acting superior for that lie.
As a "fanny pack" user myself I was delighted to see this video today! "Why two flashlights?" I also carey two flashlights! They come in hand so much more than people who do not carry a flashlight could ever understand.
I've been wearing a hip pouch for years now and I totally agree with Adam about the "Everything is just there." aspect of them. I found one that I really liked when I started wearing them, but then it was discontinued. So I hired someone to make a pattern for me and train me how to sew my own with the pattern. My pattern uses a more vertical form-factor with two zippered compartments. Also, I would like to introduce the best kind of buckle for a hip pouch I have ever found: www.amazon.com/PARACORD-PLANET-Rotational-Paracord-Backpacks/dp/B07BHR9YYQ I have yet to have one break on me, less gets caught in them and I think the flex helps reduce wear. I'm still looking for a source of double zippers that open in the middle though.
Hey Adam If someone hase not already told you. Fannypacks/bum-bags/beltpurses/butt trunks are the SH*** in Denmark a now and has been for a couple of years now. Not having to stuff everything into your pockets was a game changer. We have 5 packs hanging at the door to the apartment and almost never leave without one.
I recently fell in love with a Hilltop Packs fanny pack. It keeps everything you need in a convenient place and you can be very creative with how it looks if you want to.
Adam, you can make any show & tell fun and I can always count on you to put a smile on my face on nearly any given day! Especially much needed during Covidageddon !
I really like my Lamy pen. I ended up switching to an extra fine nib; combined with the larger girth of the pen and the less pressure that I can exert with the nib while writing helps to keep my forearm and hand from cramping up while writing.
As a Texan, I’m glad y’all are getting a taste of the weird weather. Our “winter” in most of the state just consists of all 4 seasons in one day, about half the week. So it’s cold in the morning, you’re in shorts and a short sleeve by lunch, then maybe it rains, then it’s back to cold around 7PM or so. Good times.
you want weird weather? come to alberta off the rockies. We will regularly get temp swings of 70-100F during the winter from the chinooks. Just yesterday it was 53F and sunny and now today we're going to 6F with a foot of snow
I’ve been carrying a brass pen for the last couple of years and lately it’s been a great “no touch” tool for elevators, door handles and chip and pin pads. It’s great!
I’m glad you started looking into Fountain pens. That has been my COVID hobby. I started with a Lamy and have gifted one as well. It’s a great place to start. I don’t particularly like the grip section. I wonder how useful it will be in your making. Fountain pens tend to like ink resistant paper and don’t do great on other surfaces. I’m looking forward to see if you like it and expand to other pens, paper and ink.
Thanks for the video Adam. I totally get the hip pouch idea. In the summer Montana can be quite variable in temps. We generally wear a fleece for warmth and breathability and then put on a light windbreaker for wind and rain resistance. Also help later at night to lock in the heat retained by the fleece. Because of the fact that I may be wearing several jackets in a day I generally wear cargo pants. My wife has described me as a Santa looking version of Pockets from "Hatari!" when I pull random things out of my pockets but not too much because I am generally pulling them out for her to use. I agree with the noise abatement issue with the pull ring. I have a pair of cargos with metal zippers on the leg pockets and if I have the unzipped while walking around the pulls will chime with every step. One improvement to the bag that I noticed would be something to hold the excess belt ends so they aren't dangling around to catch in something. Otherwise that bag looks very functional.
I went with an over the shoulder mens carry all/map case. Particularly helpful now that i only go out less than once a week. If you put your wallet down and don’t pick it up for ten days its really easy for it to move or you forget where you put it.
Adam, given the condition of your fingers at any particular moment, I'd recommend a small package of band aids and a couple of alcohol/betadyne wipes. It's not much bigger than a couple of packs of gum, but damn handy when you need it.
Your description of the weather sounds a lot like Ohio. when I was a kid we used to pack away our winter clothes and get the summer clothes out and vice versa. now you just have big closets and you keep everything out because you might need shorts in December and you might need a winter coat in May.
It´s funny that Adam bought this Lamy fountain pen as an adult and is so stoked about it. For german kids in primary school, this pen is like the default pen which is gifted to you by your grandparents at the age of 6. Most of my classmates used it and i used mine for well over 10 years as well. And he is right, its a great pen :)
Ideas for other Demerit Badge, dropping something fragile/messy, breaking a bolt or screw, scratching a finish, losing a screw from a project, taking a sip from the mug that wasn't coffee.
I have seen him wear it in several videos. He even says he doesn’t think it’s still available this would be a weird ad. Also talking about gear has always been a part of this channel. I personally like Adam showing his EDC items.
The Lamy Passport is the BEST ever. I’ve been carrying one for the last 2ish months now, and it’s totally removed the Pilot and Schaeffer that I used to carry from my life. It’s SO reliable, so easy to service, so pleasurable to write with, and I love it. Get you one, if you like fountain pens.
Never underestimate a man with a fanny pack, you never know what he's got hiding in there. Those nebo penlight are pretty awesome for the price I manage to use mine every day
Its seems like everything that makes it easy for a male to carry everyday stuff is constantly being made a fashion faux pas. Fanny packs, man purses, messenger bags, even cargo pants and short are made fun of. I just want to carry my handful of items without having to use pants pockets or transferring it from one outfit to the other. Im old enough now to not give a crap but would like more utilitarian options like Adams bag.
I'm a big fan of hip bags and fanny packs. I like that no matter what outfit I'm wearing all my EDC has a known place in the hip bag. I also love being able to just get home, remove the bag and have everything stay in its place for tomorrow.
Hearing that Adam is into fountain pens was an awesome thing to wake up to on a Saturday morning. I had no idea he shared the same hobby as me, and evidently, several other people in this comment section.
Whoever told you that Lamy Safari was the 'best' pen either did you a grave disservice, or saved you from a world of obsession. It would be like someone telling Raiders is the 'best' movie, so you only need to see that one. I could see you with a solid brass pen built like a tank, or a beautiful lacquered piece of art, or a collection for every occasion. And that isn't even getting into inks...
Instead of a fanny pack, I achieve a similar result with cargo pants, but yeah, in the rare times I wear jeans or chinos, I always have to switch all of my stuff to a shoulder bag. Being a chubby fella (though it's changed a lot lately), it's a bit more difficult to wear a fanny pack - it digs in when you sit down, it makes you look even bigger etc. Perhaps it's because I never found a right one, and I have to say - I dig the bigger area, but flatter profile.
Thanks. My personal hell in a short recap. I needed more. Been carrying a jansport big student for YEARS. Downsized to a fanny. Its tough but keeps it minimal.
For the holding loops, may I suggest using paracord with a wire threaded down the inside then just melt the 2 ends together. The wire would keep it open if that is what you wanted with the keyrings.
got the olive one the other week - loving it. didn’t know you can throw it in the washer and it’ll be all good. cant wait to put in some serious hours on this thing
I feel the same way! I never carried a bag besides work bags. I carry one to the store and anywhere I need to go now. I’m going with one of two Maxpedition bags for different purposes. Smaller pouches with PALS webbing on the back, but I slide an OFF-WHITE belt through and it’s a great, comfortable shoulder sling. Holds the gubbins and I can sanitize where I touch the bag while I don’t want to wipe sanitizer on a jacket. Jacket weather for me is 40 or less. Light chore coat, denim, sheepskin or horse hide... I run very hot
I was born in Florida where I have lived most of my life. When I was a child in the 70s we would often have an overnight freeze in the winter so that when you awoke in the mornings for school the grass was covered in frost. We would also have daytime temperatures in the low 30s at least once or twice in the typical year. That stopped happening a long time ago. Now when the temperature gets close to freezing in my latitudes it's a rare event.
That weather sounds like my personal hell. Why would you want the weather to be always the same? And why that miserable temperature range if it is always going to be the same?!
It depends what you are used to. If the place you love has cold misty autumn days, and you have to live somewhere like California, then you will miss the horrible misty weather. But if California is your favourite place in the world and you find yourself in Newfoundland, you will be miserable as hell.
I have two of the lamys used them for years in school! They're amazing durable and write amazing! But if you like that lamy, check the lamy swift pen. It's an amazing piece of pen! The mechanics behind the clip disappearing and how smooth it works is just fantastic!
as someone who has been riding bikes for 10 years, hip paks is where I place almost everything I need on my daily commutes. might make my own that can serve also as a frame bag.
Aaaaaah, I love Lamy safaris and al-stars! Excellent fountain pens, VERY easy to clean and maintain, and great for carrying around ANYWHERE, even when it might be rough on them, bc if it breaks or falls off a cliff while hiking, a replacement isn't excessively expensive. As long as I don't carry my limited edition variants. So few REALLY GOOD pens are that cheap. I still do use my Pilot Vanishing Points more often, bc that's my favorite pen, but they're my lab notebook and crafting notebook pens, and only travel to and from school, the lab, or somewhere safe I might actually use my craft notes. But there's a LOT of times and places I don't want to bring pens that cost $150 to replace.
@@adamsteineke4661 it was just an example to convey my concern. It doesn’t matter what medical device I used. That’s not what I was talking about. I was highlighting my concern for Adam. But thanks for schooling this old diabetic about diabetic gear. Appreciate that.
have only been to San Francisco once back in 2008. My company sent me down to man the boot at the RSA show. It was in april that year. Googled what the weather was like, and what to wear, and saw it was similar weather to what Toronto gets at the time, so I packed accordingly. No shorts, some T' shirts, and a few hoodies outside of the uniform I had to wear at the show, and an outfit for a night out with the company. We landed at 9 am on the sunday, expecting in the 60's. It was 98. It got up to 101 I think one of the days. I got lucky that one pair of pants were zip offs, and could take the legs off. Absolute beautiful city. Though unexpected, the hot weather was pretty rejuvenating, after a peticularly cold winter in Toronto. The cold weather rolled back in on Thursday, along with the fog.
This is why Adam is so savage he doesn’t care about what you think a “Fanny pack” looks like. He cares about the edc of everyday life. I love the Don Quixote style that Adam brings to us. No matter the problem he has a solution. When I watch the movie ( the Martian) I sometimes think man Adam would totally do awesome in any situation. He would do awesome if he was in the capsule of Apollo 13 or in the engineering room at Houston trying to figure out how to work the problem. Lots a love for the tested team and Adam of course. Had the pleasure of meeting him on the boardwalk at SDCC in 2018 . He was going onto the IMDB boat and he allowed my wife to take a picture of us . Plus he was riding a one wheel so I independently wanted one!
I figured hand sanitizer and spare mask when all the talk of covid, I never stopped working and still go everywhere but Disney so not a huge change for me.
I have long dreamed of starting my own maker-space and providing jackets for all members who would then wear patches (provided by the maker-space) indicating the machines / areas they have been approved to use. It’s very exciting to see a maker I admire having similar thoughts (though admittedly funnier). I hope other makers / maker-spaces will do the same.
Hey Adam! Please try a Pelikan fountain pen and tell us how you feel between it and the Lamy! In my school days for example I found out that Lamys break easier at the trhead. In fact only my Lamys snapped right in half and the thread stayed in the back part every time. Pelikans never broke on me. Please try! I will get a new one too or I might use the last one I had but then stopped using. Ima put that thing back into my edc! Just wondering which one hmmm.
@@watollah no, not any more. Studied in Mannheim and stuck around after. Miss my das Workshop and have no makerspace at the moment for woodworking or other big stuff, so whittling and fibercraft are my creative outlets at the moment. What is your "poison"?
That fountain pen takes me back about 25 years. This was the fountain pen we had to buy for primary school to learn cursive writing with. Young me chewed on the end and it looks gruesome but I still have it ^_^ I got myself a new one about 5 years ago made of aluminium. Still use it to this day.

Smashing a finger with a hammer is bad. But there’s a worse option and that’s smashing your finger with a hammer when it’s extremely cold.

Trying to be funny. Only my hosta get to sing that when I cut them back every fall ... And they'll be fine ....
got the olive one the other week - loving it. didn’t know you can throw it in the washer and it’ll be all good. cant wait to put in some serious hours on this thing

Going home after work, keys here, phone here, hi Adam, work id here ...
Under appreciated joke
So where and when are we picking up the "package" and what kind of baklava (balaclavas) are we bringing?
I feel the same way! I never carried a bag besides work bags. I carry one to the store and anywhere I need to go now. I’m going with one of two Maxpedition bags for different purposes. Smaller pouches with PALS webbing on the back, but I slide an OFF-WHITE belt through and it’s a great, comfortable shoulder sling. Holds the gubbins and I can sanitize where I touch the bag while I don’t want to wipe sanitizer on a jacket. Jacket weather for me is 40 or less. Light chore coat, denim, sheepskin or horse hide... I run very hot

Did that last night, like an idiot... fortunately it wasn't cranked up too high and I escaped with a minor 1st degree.
Twice in one week. Full on. Smells gross.
Hoping I've learnt my lesson. Time will tell.
I was born in Florida where I have lived most of my life. When I was a child in the 70s we would often have an overnight freeze in the winter so that when you awoke in the mornings for school the grass was covered in frost. We would also have daytime temperatures in the low 30s at least once or twice in the typical year.
That stopped happening a long time ago. Now when the temperature gets close to freezing in my latitudes it's a rare event.
Holy, that bag is expensive I would cry if I got it a quarter of how dirty Adam's is.
Zpaks sells virtually the same pouch on their website for $65. A mere $315 less than Tom charges for his version..
I used that Lamy fountain pen in school ... about 35 years ago. They have been around for a long, long time!
That weather sounds like my personal hell. Why would you want the weather to be always the same? And why that miserable temperature range if it is always going to be the same?!
It depends what you are used to. If the place you love has cold misty autumn days, and you have to live somewhere like California, then you will miss the horrible misty weather. But if California is your favourite place in the world and you find yourself in Newfoundland, you will be miserable as hell.
I have two of the lamys used them for years in school! They're amazing durable and write amazing! But if you like that lamy, check the lamy swift pen. It's an amazing piece of pen! The mechanics behind the clip disappearing and how smooth it works is just fantastic!
Oh yes, Lamy makes the best fountain pen´s. I own the same... :-)
But the other pens from Lamy are also great.
I love my 2k, but I don't think it's the best pen for a place like Adam's shop. ;)
Trendy or not, those things are infinitely damn usable 💪
"Makers prayer" demerit badge. When you're on your hands and knees looking for the small part you just lost.
Oh man, I wore out so many of those Lamy fountain pens as a teenager at school here in the UK. That set off some serious unexpected nostalgia!
You *wore out* a fountain pen? How?
I am honestly surprised there wasn't a pocket knife or "Leatherman" in there.
I think he mentioned that the knife got a pocket.
Probably a swiss army (he likes Victorinox) in his pocket.
as someone who has been riding bikes for 10 years, hip paks is where I place almost everything I need on my daily commutes. might make my own that can serve also as a frame bag.
"long-ass show and tell", I was like "long?" and checked the time... thought only 3-4 mins had gone by, but already 14+.
Aaaaaah, I love Lamy safaris and al-stars! Excellent fountain pens, VERY easy to clean and maintain, and great for carrying around ANYWHERE, even when it might be rough on them, bc if it breaks or falls off a cliff while hiking, a replacement isn't excessively expensive. As long as I don't carry my limited edition variants. So few REALLY GOOD pens are that cheap.
I still do use my Pilot Vanishing Points more often, bc that's my favorite pen, but they're my lab notebook and crafting notebook pens, and only travel to and from school, the lab, or somewhere safe I might actually use my craft notes. But there's a LOT of times and places I don't want to bring pens that cost $150 to replace.
Oh good, it’s just a fanny pack! I thought you were wearing an insulin pump or something medical like that. Great bit of kit, for sure.
Insulin pumps are uber small these days... they look like an old ipod nano or a pager.
@@adamsteineke4661 it was just an example to convey my concern. It doesn’t matter what medical device I used. That’s not what I was talking about. I was highlighting my concern for Adam. But thanks for schooling this old diabetic about diabetic gear. Appreciate that.
Colostomy bag 🤦♂️
@@SeanVedell I’m sure he was just trying to be helpful.
@@tbnone2501 Fair enough. Apologies if I pissed anyone off. Not my intent.
have only been to San Francisco once back in 2008. My company sent me down to man the boot at the RSA show. It was in april that year. Googled what the weather was like, and what to wear, and saw it was similar weather to what Toronto gets at the time, so I packed accordingly. No shorts, some T' shirts, and a few hoodies outside of the uniform I had to wear at the show, and an outfit for a night out with the company.
We landed at 9 am on the sunday, expecting in the 60's. It was 98. It got up to 101 I think one of the days. I got lucky that one pair of pants were zip offs, and could take the legs off.
Absolute beautiful city. Though unexpected, the hot weather was pretty rejuvenating, after a peticularly cold winter in Toronto. The cold weather rolled back in on Thursday, along with the fog.
Sorry still Funny ‘Fanny pack’ hehehehe still loving show from UK
This is why Adam is so savage he doesn’t care about what you think a “Fanny pack” looks like. He cares about the edc of everyday life. I love the Don Quixote style that Adam brings to us. No matter the problem he has a solution. When I watch the movie ( the Martian) I sometimes think man Adam would totally do awesome in any situation. He would do awesome if he was in the capsule of Apollo 13 or in the engineering room at Houston trying to figure out how to work the problem. Lots a love for the tested team and Adam of course. Had the pleasure of meeting him on the boardwalk at SDCC in 2018 . He was going onto the IMDB boat and he allowed my wife to take a picture of us . Plus he was riding a one wheel so I independently wanted one!
3:30 nippy 50? Have you been i Norway before? "Nippy 50" is shorts weather in Norway🤣
Här i Sverige också. Och vid allt över 15°C så är shorts helt enkelt ett måste, annars dör man svett-döden!
I never knew I would so enthralled with seeing what’s in Adams man purse :)
3:28 "Its a nippy fifty!"
(Adams nipples will remember that)
👁 👄 👁
Adam looks like a nippy 50 himself, though I think he's just past that age.
bro Adam has been nippy since at least mythbusters season 1 lmao high beams on 24/7
@@3tickurnan haha!
I had that Lamy fountain pen in school as a kid 22 years ago, in fact I think I still have it.
Joke of the day:
What is the soft stuff between sharks teeth?
*Slow swimmers.*
Very nice! The LAMY pen is the one I used when learning to write in elementary school, here in Germany :)
I figured hand sanitizer and spare mask when all the talk of covid, I never stopped working and still go everywhere but Disney so not a huge change for me.
I have long dreamed of starting my own maker-space and providing jackets for all members who would then wear patches (provided by the maker-space) indicating the machines / areas they have been approved to use. It’s very exciting to see a maker I admire having similar thoughts (though admittedly funnier). I hope other makers / maker-spaces will do the same.

Marry Christmas from Limhamn Sweden 🇸🇪 to all your family
But we like to take the p out of a fanny pack haha 😂
Hey Adam!
Please try a Pelikan fountain pen and tell us how you feel between it and the Lamy!
In my school days for example I found out that Lamys break easier at the trhead. In fact only my Lamys snapped right in half and the thread stayed in the back part every time. Pelikans never broke on me.
Please try!
I will get a new one too or I might use the last one I had but then stopped using. Ima put that thing back into my edc! Just wondering which one hmmm.
Lahmy long ahhh as in say ahh at the doctors :) I live near where they are manufactured.
I was there 2 years ago now. Went to the Lamy flagship store
Hey I'm from Heidelberg too, are you a student? :)
@@watollah no, not any more. Studied in Mannheim and stuck around after. Miss my das Workshop and have no makerspace at the moment for woodworking or other big stuff, so whittling and fibercraft are my creative outlets at the moment. What is your "poison"?
That fountain pen takes me back about 25 years. This was the fountain pen we had to buy for primary school to learn cursive writing with. Young me chewed on the end and it looks gruesome but I still have it ^_^ I got myself a new one about 5 years ago made of aluminium. Still use it to this day.
You should make a "You've shot someone's eye out with that thing" badge
Happy Gilmore’s boss (nail stuck in his head.)
James Thurber had his eye shot out. It’s no joke!
Adam, we all giggle. I love you .
Nutnfancy has entered the chat
I don't imagine they have a ton of viewer overlap...
@@barlotardy you may be surprised
Oh the Lamy... it was and still is our (elementary) school fountain pen in Germany :)
"How DARE there be weather!" -California people problems.
I left my hell hole that is homestate of texas because it was too hot. You start considering leaving when your coworkers die from the heat. Now its getting hotter because people go out of their way to pollute and stick it to californians and dems than be more resource conscious.
