So many gems of advice in here. My personal favorite travel hack for clothes is to anticipate buying more clothes so I always pack light in that sense LOL.
One advice on clothing - upgrade it to some merino wool stuff and you'll see how much more lightweight and compact it will become compared to denim/cotton or hoodies you have now. There are some good brands like Icebreaker there with lots of options, including pants, etc.
I agree on denim pants as they’re super bulky per articles but I went all in on merino wool and ended up switching back to cotton for my shirts. After being a real zealot for merino, I realized the benefits were minimal/offset by the cost and mild itchiness.
@@mariaineslucas3196 unbound merino. Pricey but most pure merino wool stuff is. I own their long sleeves and crew shirts and they are crazy comfortable. I live in vail, Colorado 8200 ft elevation and they keep me warm on chilly days and nice and cool when the sun is beaming. I Love that entire brand
Thanks man! I actually still have the C70 but have been using it much less. I find the FX3 to be so much more convenient most of the time due to the size, dual native ISO, and AF. The C70 is really great too but just find myself leaving it behind most of the time.
@@edwardleefilms yeah man true sometimes I find it super bulky as well, at first that’s exactly what I wanted - like a huge built out cinema rig - but in practice and for on the go / travel it is just a lot. The FX3 is so cool, I was looking into an R5 for the same reason but in my opinion the image doesn’t compare. Maybe one day I’ll venture down the Sony ecosystem too! How’d you find the switch over? Did you just get like 1 or 2 lenses to start off?
We have a Huawei hotspot too! Did a multi country trip in 2018 and bought an unlocked phone, turned on hotspot with a EU sim and had like 30GB shared. Clutch option for sure.
@@edwardleefilms Hey! I'm just wondering what's the difference/benefit of using a hotspot versus just putting the sim card into your unlocked phone? Just curious cause I've never used one :) Awesome video!
@@Biancastefano Edward can chime in more. For us it was battery life and heat with a phone. Nothing a power bank couldn't fix as well as turning off the phone occasionally. We literally used it all day and both my phone and my wife's were constantly connected to it.
I'm going to add one thing I forgot. Our hotspot has an Ethernet port. If we want to prioritize a connection on something like our MacBook Pro with an adapter, we can. Minor feature but can be really handy.
Were you able to carry on both the Peak Design backpack and the Away carry-on? For an upcoming flight to Europe, I can take a carry-on and a personal item, but they both look larger than the max for a personal item.
Yes! I was able to. The PD backpack definitely get's big so I usually end up just putting both the carry-on and my backpack up in the storage if there is extra room. But I have never run into any problems with trying to bring both on
I never would have thought of doing a hot spot device instead of using the European SIM card directly in my phone. Is there anything specific that lead you to that choice? Just the ability to use it with multiple phones?
I feel that the issues with all these travel video is that recently a lot of the airlines are restrictive about weight (not necessarily about size). For example my 20L PD everyday backpack is quite compact however it is often over weight as some local airlines limits to 7kg. I don't mind paying a little extra but some airlines don't even have that option.
I think thanks to social media they're realising we have learnt some tricks lol and many of us are doing one-bag travel so they have to charge us somehow! its insane that you have to pay to travel with a bag..
@@edwardleefilms I haven't myself but this past week i've been hearing quite a few airlines are also starting to charge for taking any bag! it's insane, sometimes taking a bag cost more than it did for you to fly lol
I randomly saw this and I try to embody a lot of the same mantras when packing but I will be honest, I don’t always use some of what I pack. Really enjoyed it! Also curious what mic that was. Looked like a shotgun mic or sorts
I just rock a filter to be able to put other filters on it (pro mist, bloom, etc.) Then also a hand grip to make it more comfortable to hold. Then a camera strap. Shoot me a DM on IG and I’ll send you direct links!
So glad to have watched this! I always think that travel is made easier when you have the best travel gear and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for travels like this. Thought I'd share it with you, too! :)
Nailed it. Love the cozy Paris vibes in this dude
Thanks my guy. Appreciate you. Hope I can see you sooner than later!
I came back to your videos after a couple of months, and I clearly can tell - still top notch! Love it
Thanks Simon!

LOL. Dude this is facts. High key wish I didn’t pack even this much so I could bring back more clothes. I bought a few things over there

Which brands would u recommend?
@@mariaineslucas3196 Ridge Merino, Unbound Merino, Aviator USA, Icebreaker that I already mentioned. Lots of options!

Really interesting tip! Thank you!
Solid Video.. one thing, with Huawei portable wifi, any one traveling with you can also get full wif i

This is a really important point! Multiple devices can connect (ie all the family members)
Awesome video welcome to our beautiful France Edward
I like the interaction of you and your wife Christine! Have a fun trip !
She’s the best :)
Love the mood of this one man!! Amazing footage and some super solid, well-thought-out products.

Hello dude ! Thanks for those solutions 🙂 from France Now what about the french food ??? 😊
Honestly we loved it! Had some escargot and enjoyed it haha
Love the Video! Bought the carabiner from your EDC Video for my peak design backpack and am super happy with it!
Love that little clip! It’s clutch haha
Great tips bro! This is helpful as I prepare to pack for my trip. 👊🏾
Hope Europe has been epic so far!
Fantastic video. I love the tips.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Curious to know which microphone you were using while filming this video.
Yes, I think he forgot to mention it.
Thanks! I’m using a Sennheiser MKE 600 in this video. It’s recording externally to a ZOOM H6
Such a huge fan and I love this video! When and why did you switch away from the c70?
Thanks man! I actually still have the C70 but have been using it much less. I find the FX3 to be so much more convenient most of the time due to the size, dual native ISO, and AF. The C70 is really great too but just find myself leaving it behind most of the time.

Awesome video. Learned a couple new things before I fly out for work this month. Where do you get your cargos from? Love your simple style
Got these cargos from UNQILO! Pretty affordable and look great!

Yes! The ability to use multiple phones and devices is the main reason. And it’s just easier to change the sim in and out
Great video man. That multi cable looks clutch for travelling. Where is your cap from you’re wearing in this video? Thanks
It’s from Carhartt!
Awesome video
Enjoyed the video, are you related to Potato Jet? 😊
LOL, not that I know of

Mic is a senheisser MKE 600!
Thanks for the comment and watching! I always end up slightly over packing too. Trying to fix it haha
What accessories (filters, hood, strap…) do you recommend for the X100V?
I just rock a filter to be able to put other filters on it (pro mist, bloom, etc.) Then also a hand grip to make it more comfortable to hold. Then a camera strap.
Shoot me a DM on IG and I’ll send you direct links!
Use Packing Cubes and roll the clothing inside the cubes. That saves up a lot of space
Need to do that next time. I’ve heard the same!
What size is the PD backpack. 30 or 45L?
this one is the 45L!
So glad to have watched this! I always think that travel is made easier when you have the best travel gear and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for travels like this. Thought I'd share it with you, too! :)
Oh nice!! Haven’t heard of that bag. I will check it out! I’m a big nerd when it comes to EDC, gear, and travel essentials
I might cope those nike shoes you got haha
Dude. 10/10 would recommend!
Where is that hat from
You had a very nice place there! We just came back from Paris yesterday :-) (These bastards took my little SmallRig tool at the airport ;-(
Oh nooo. I recently got one of my favorite camera tools taken at a TSA too. We loved Paris :)
My father has the same suitcase.
Love this video and your style!
You gained a new subscriber!
Appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos! Keep it up Edward!
Thanks for watching! Trying my best haha
You’re in Paris!!!
Thanks for this great video. As a bag reviewer I can highly approve code of bell. They make really great bags
Love love love code of bell products. Thanks man!
how tall are you? in cm?
Around 172cm
🙏🏿👑
That tripod looks great. $650 tho 😮
Yeah pretty pricey. But they make a cheaper aluminum version that is just as good!
Your voice is too low turn it uo….
Good to know!
