Love it! EDC, fountain pens, a cool sling bag I hadn't seen before. It's like it was made for me. I also carry the Traveler's Notebook Passport, but I've stopped carrying fountain pens because I still haven't found one that doesn't leak if jostled around all day, and that doesn't dry out if you fail to use it for a few days. Most of my fountain pens are from Parker (Sonnet, Frontier, a bunch of Vectors), but my Lamy Al-Star has the same issues. I used to be able to use the Vectors every day in school without leakage, and I still use the same cartridges, so I don't know what changed.
I would be really interested in a video of your emergency preparedness. Especially after hurricane season like what lights you use and things that help you get by blackouts !
We have a generator with a transfer switch at the breaker box. It comes in handy a couple of times a year. We get a lot of ice storms in the mountains that knocks the power out. Great idea for a video! Thanks
Nice video!! Although i love fountain pens i have yet to carry one, usually carry a ball point Zebra F-701 and keep my fountain pen for my home desk. I really should try carrying a fountain pen. I usually carry a fixed blade knife, but occasions like today im going to a kids bday party so i will have to switch it out. Have a great weekend!!! Cheers beers and whiskey 🤠🥃
Great video! Swiss Army Knife, Flashlight, Pen & Paper. What a trilogy! I like the brightness of that MT1A Pro. I wish it had a different UI. The MT1A requires you to come in on the last memorized brightness level. With my Wurkkos FC12 in tactical mode, I can choose to come in on moonlight, turbo or strobe, with medium as an option after coming in on moonlight or turbo. The FC12 is bigger at 24mm diameter but still pocketable. I shortened mine with an 18350 tube and battery.
I have a twisbi vac & I much prefer the Eco & then the Diamond 580 al is a great writer as well. Here a few years ago I splurged big time & invested in a Pilot Custom 380 which is a vac filler & use that pen almost daily! It’s as close to a perfect pen as I’ve ever used. It’s so great the only pens I find myself using other that it has been several of my Eco Pens (which I used different colors in). Another great on the go fountain pen you need to try especially since you like the travelers notebooks so much it The Travelers Company Fountain Pen, it’s one of the best fine nib pens I’ve ever used, plus in carry form it’s so small you’ll forget you have it. The only issue I have with it is I prefer a wider pen but overall it’s so good.
I’ll definitely check out Travelers Company pen. My collection is slowly growing and I appreciate suggestions. The Diamond 580 is a great looking pen. Thanks very much for watching!
I like your pen choice, I carry a Lamy safari with me 24/7 but the treads that allow you to remove the body from the head (I don't know the proper terms) mysteriously unscrew in my pocket over the course of the day. I think I might pick up a Kaweco sport like you have.
@@doctortomato9520 I have the Lamy AI-STAR, which I bought to graduate from my ball point for an EDC. I haven't carried it yet though, at this point it works great at my home desk. I'm pretty rough on my EDC pen and not sure any fountain pen would hold up.
@@va6gkthaskey311 I think besides my one problem they are excellently manufactured and the plastic shell of my safari has been even stepped on full force and has not broken. I don't know mush about the al-star but is the metal is as thick as the plastic or even a little thinner it should be able to hold up to most usage.
@@doctortomato9520 I've heard that the AI-STAR can bend because of the softness of the aluminum. 🤷 Honestly though that isn't much of my concern, I tend to write on surfaces I probably shouldn't with a pen when working on things and the hardest thing to get around is the weather. I'm outside in +30°c down to -40°c, rain, snow you name it. I'm pretty sure I push my Zebra F-701 to its limits and then some. 🙈. But it has never let me down so there is that 🤷
You're the first I've seen ACTUALLY do a pocket dump!
Thanks for watching!! 😀
Keep those pocket dumps coming!
Will do Karin!
StarLink. Solid choice. Nice loadout. Thank you

Thanks for following along Johan! I don’t think I could make it through my day without my TN Passport.

@ your channel has become one of my favorites. So thanks for the videos.

I like the sport. I have a couple and they are solid pens. Thanks for watching!
