Minimal Travel Toiletry Tips — Gravel Explorer Mini

I'm legitimately surprised those scissors haven't been confiscated by TSA during your travels. I've had sooooo many scissors half that size taken away in airports is Europe and Asia. One was even decorated with cows and had a child safety sheath on it and the TSA agent couldn't get it open, but still tossed it

I don't consider that minimal. Norelco one blade is smaller. A small Letherman PS would cover your scissors, file, and you can use the scissors to clip nails. Also extra wrist watch totally unnecessary we carry phones.

Has anyone mentioned how similar your voice is to Bradley Whitford’s?

How do you travel with a scissor in your carry on

It’s literally a pencil case. An expensive pencil case.

How is this compared to the peak design small wash pouch, size wize?

I have found a few xmas toiletries gift packs that are heavy duty & just the sample size toiletries. The toiletries bag is a heavy duty clear PVC - I found a few clear pencil cases that suit you for the travel needs.

I like Packing cubes.. they compress your clothes.

I like to travel with a transparent 1L toiletry bag. Because no matter how hard I tried, I've always had some liquids on me. It's TSA compliant and no one cares there's comb and toothbrush as well.

I am so jealous! You look so good and don’t need a million products. I use like 10 things and look like ass.

awesome video! should do one about the Agent toiletry bag by Untitled Label.

Check out alpaca felted goatsmilk soap. Eliminates the liquid (especially the TSA limits) and acts as a loofah. Also, solid shampoo and conditioner!

Thanks Chase. You needed underwear in Milan, bought a 3 pack in New York. The biggest tip I received was the biggest weight saving is don't bring it if you don't need it.

I just got a bunch of Sea to Summit dry sheet soap products for all my basics - hair, hands, body, shave, laundry. I'll keep those to use in a pinch, and otherwise just get bigger toiletries when I actually arrive at my destination.

That native shit will stain your expensive shirts!

I don't really buy the more "fancy" Dopp kits from leather or similar since I travel carry-on most of the time and at least in Europe, you need the small, transparent bags.

My favorite minimal travel trip I think came from you, “minimal travel isn’t traveling with nothing, it’s traveling with just what you need” (or some variation of that). I knew that, but it still resonated most with me when watching one of your videos.

But, outside your videos, my best tip came from experience, minimal travel requires knowing how much you need before things need/can be washed. For me, that meant more socks and underwear than pants or shirts… I could get plenty of time out of a shirt or pants while the other one dried, but boxers and socks needed to be rotated quicker. I never crapped my pants or anything, but for me crotch and feet sweat the most (in case that’s what people wondered), so I was more comfortable when I could change them more frequently. Thankfully, I’m onto barefoot shoes now, so socks should be less of a concern

As an update, per their campaign, which has just ended, GRAVEL offers multiple colors for the zippers and the hangy-hook piece. So don't let that keep you from getting one (if you wanted).

Not usb C but there are usb A to Phillips one blade cables so you don't need a separate charger just the cable

I just pledged this, I love my Gravel Explorer that I picked up at launch but I love the form factor on the is one.
