    The Bobby pins help to put on a bracelet that you can’t easily clasp.

  2. @silviatallarico7412 on June 20, 2025 at 6:25 pm

    I always carry dental floss, bobby pins and rubber bands. You can use them for different things, especially the dental floss that is very strong.

  3. @karidufur8908 on June 20, 2025 at 6:25 pm

    My credit card sized tools with a small file/knife & scissors were confiscated at the Portland airport this month! Never had that happen with all of our travels. 😢

  4. @erismom69 on June 20, 2025 at 6:26 pm

    Great info as always glad you seem to be feeling better

  5. @stephaniemonteilh3240 on June 20, 2025 at 6:26 pm

    I’ve carried a pair of Fuller Brush folfing scissors that I’ve had for over 30 years. They’re still pretty sharp and very handy. I’d hate to lose them.. I’ve found a dupe on Amazon that comes in a set of 2.

  6. @soniaceratti on June 20, 2025 at 6:31 pm

    Great video! I have several items that I bought after watching your videos !!😊

  7. @jimkirkwood1488 on June 20, 2025 at 6:32 pm

    2 small ziploc bags. I use one to cover the remote at the hotel. Also great storage for small things you might need.

  8. @AV-fs4wo on June 20, 2025 at 6:32 pm

    Glad you are feeling better!

  9. @lovealwaysjasmine on June 20, 2025 at 6:33 pm

    Do you bring scissors on a plane?

  10. @vickym3735 on June 20, 2025 at 6:34 pm

    As always, great ideas on lightening up my EDC! I’ve now got a few of these things in my Amazon cart.

    Also love the back scratcher and keep a longer telescoping one in my bag at all times. Being only 5 ft tall, it’s great when I go shopping and can’t reach something on a shelf. Much safer than trying to climb the shelf and saves me from having to look around for someone taller.

    Have a wonderful weekend and keep up all the great videos!

  11. @jenharvey8360 on June 20, 2025 at 6:37 pm

    Flashlights! Cannot have too many flashlights! I put a zipper pull mini flashlight on the zipper of every single bag and jacket I own, so I will normally have 2-3 on me wherever I am.

  12. @lynnmckenzie4841 on June 20, 2025 at 6:39 pm

    Thank you! What is the name of your Baggalini bag?

  13. @CydPiper on June 20, 2025 at 6:41 pm

    Hey GF! so glad you are feeling better! hate it that Vid is going around again especially at our age. You are still looking darn good and your hair looks fabulous! love this content as always. My only gripe is that Alto pouch is $46. Stay well my sweet friend. Luv, Cynthia ❤🌹✈

  14. @parttimegeekswe7069 on June 20, 2025 at 6:42 pm

    I ALWAYS carry the Rovyvon A8 keychain flashlight. It’s helped me out more times than I can count. I’m also a big fan of the Leatherman Style PS, I have a few and use it all the time 👌

  15. @amya2574 on June 20, 2025 at 6:42 pm

    Cool stuff but totalled hundreds of dollars, no?

  16. @barbaradace7952 on June 20, 2025 at 6:42 pm

    I keep the Utili-Key by Swiss-Tech on my keyring; it has 6 tools (micro-flat, flat-blade, and phillips screwdrivers; short blade, serrated saw blade, and bottle opener). On a key ring with other keys, it just looks like another key. It could replace your razor knife without needing to remove the blade, and works as a screwdriver on my eyeglasses. Weight is 0.5 oz.

  17. @fiftyfive70 on June 20, 2025 at 6:43 pm

    I am very interested in this episode and can’t wait to watch it! Thanks! I’m glad you are feeling better.

  18. @TracyKMainwaring on June 20, 2025 at 6:43 pm

    That pill container reminds me of the old metal match containers, which I have. Hadn’t thought to repurpose it. I always travel with a flashlight. We usually roadtrip and I have one that recharges while we drive. We stayed at a hotel where the power went out for several hotels in the evening. It was very helpful!

  19. @turningbacktheclock5304 on June 20, 2025 at 6:44 pm

    Sorry to hear you had the Vid! I don’t carry an EDC but I’ve added a few little things to my carry on bag lately, some of which I learned about through your channel. The folding glasses, a hero clip, airplane pressure balancing ear plugs and the tray cover with pockets. Looking forward to trying them all out in a few weeks!🎉 🇯🇲

  20. @assistivetek on June 20, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    Great curated list. You may want to take a look at Rite in the Rain Micro Notebook

  21. @SheriWinston on June 20, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    I must have a tiny nail clipper and nail file. If I had a hangnail or rough edge of my cuticle when I’m on an airplane I would have a bleeding ragged mess by the end of the trip. So that tiny clipper and nail file are essential for me. Plus lip balm. Never go anywhere without it. I also have a tiny pill container where I keep a
    my emergency meds. I have tiny flashlights that hook on to the zipper pulls on my bags. That way I always have a light so I can find stuff inside. And tiny carabiners, of course!

  22. @SyKnife on June 20, 2025 at 6:47 pm

    You’re like the Special Forces version of a traveler. Anywhere, anytime, underwater even, you’re ready to solve problems and complete the mission. 😂

  23. @adrianabrown1011 on June 20, 2025 at 6:51 pm

    Love your recommendations! However there’s one essential missing, perhaps it’s not TSA approved? A corkscrew! I had one on my Swiss army knife that the TSA confiscated many trips ago 😢

  24. @nlowe39 on June 20, 2025 at 6:52 pm

    Overall quite comprehensive but maybe you want to add some tech, like ultralight/keychain powerbank and some tiny cords (if you don’t use apple magsafe).

  25. @amycorley1658 on June 20, 2025 at 6:52 pm

    Just love all the information I learn from you. I have been looking for a small leather pouch like the one in this video, do you remember where you got it? It’s perfection.

  26. @janewelsh6062 on June 20, 2025 at 6:52 pm

    Ginger chews or non-sleepy Duromine or anti sickness wrist bands – I have gotten car sick driving in the suburbs of London!!

  28. @ToriE1073 on June 20, 2025 at 6:53 pm

    Your love of tiny gadgets and multi functional items is the only one I’ve ever seen that rivals my own. 😂 So, clearly these are my favorite videos! You always have so many great ideas! I have a tiny flashlight from olight that I keep on my key ring and it’s tiny but mighty.

  29. @marciajimenez7347 on June 20, 2025 at 6:56 pm

    Can you recommend a travel steamer to use in Europe? Glad I found your videos.

  30. @vchill2845 on June 20, 2025 at 6:56 pm

    Great video and research of gadgets ! So are all of these safe and allowed to be brought on plane in carry on ?

  31. @michellehumphries300 on June 20, 2025 at 6:57 pm

    If they weigh your carry on bag, how much can it weigh without going over weight? Cause the luggage weighs so much by itself.

  32. @steelfloor10 on June 20, 2025 at 6:59 pm

    Pilot birdie

  33. @dena-mo118 on June 20, 2025 at 6:59 pm

    As I was watching, my husband was also listening. I told him you are the McGyver of travel essentials! 😂 Great items! One essential I’ve begun to carry is a small portable handheld fan.(think you showed this in one of your videos) It has a light also. It’s rechargeable, so before any flight, I make sure it’s ready. When delayed and sitting in a plane, it’s come in handy. It stays in my travel backpack.

  34. @MiaHessMusic on June 20, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    Thank you Eunice! I hope you’re doing OK.

  35. @Beneá-f4b on June 20, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    somehow i don’t see the link for the pouch🙃

  36. @cj9667 on June 20, 2025 at 7:06 pm

    The gadget Queen….love everything! Will the P51 get thru TSA? Also do you like the 51 over the 38? Your link has both! Glad David and you are feeling better!

  37. @Gevedon on June 20, 2025 at 7:06 pm

    Thanks for sharing and so blessed you are doing better! I like to carry a safety pin and small needle for difficult splinters or other situations that come up!

  38. @anitasimmons3599 on June 20, 2025 at 7:07 pm

    Thank you for another informative video. I carry a small nail clippers made for cutting fishing line. No real nail file but a file that works for filling the barbs off fish hooks. I got mine at Bass Pro years ago, and have traveled with it even overseas.

  39. @goingawayguide on June 20, 2025 at 7:08 pm

    I’ll have to look at that Leatherman….I’ve had two Leatherman Squirt PS4’s confiscated and now don’t fly with a multi-tool since I gave up trying to bring it on a flight.

  40. @kristaholland5727 on June 20, 2025 at 7:08 pm

    I am still recovering from my most recent bout of COVID too. I love watching your videos. I have always traveled carry on only so your tips and tricks help me save even more room.

  41. @PinkiandCamslife on June 20, 2025 at 7:09 pm

    Love it Eunice, I need to revamp my EDC. I’m looking for that leather fanny pack you did a few months back. It has a lot of pockets

  42. @kryssygee4814 on June 20, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    Omg a soulmate!!! In the bag! Yes to all of it— even the doggie bag! (Multi tools in the car travel kit. But that’s another story right?) I am missing the box cutter and thin clippers but i carry tiny foldable scissors. I also carry tiny tiny spray bottles 1water, 2rubbing alcohol, 3mouth wash. In a tiny 4” square zip pouch – a small pill container (one for my pills) and another with a few mints and gum to stave off hunger. Floss sticks, a few toothpaste tabs and a small toothbrush also fit. A few of various kinds of wipes in separate snack ziplocs folded into a snack ziploc! Oh. A really old style plastic collapsible cup. Spork yup. Ya ready for anything and to help out a buddy …. Most of it fits into a pencil case and into the zip pocket of my all season light weight sportsa_ bag. No attract a thief purse for me😁

  43. @user-zz8ln3uh5x on June 20, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    Be prepared to lose that utility knife to TSA. I previously travelled with a similar box cutter with the blade removed. The "new" rules disallow items capable of holding a blade. I lost my (fortunately cheap) knife even after a lengthy discussion with the TSA supervisor.

  44. @MHayes-ye9fe on June 20, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    So glad you’re better and sorry you had Covid! Thx again for a great video. Just love your traveling gadgets videos.

  45. @henrytowne7463 on June 20, 2025 at 7:12 pm

    p38, spork, micra, baby boxcutter, and a Gerber travelin’ lite

  46. @johnjohnny6480 on June 20, 2025 at 7:12 pm

    I bring a sterling silver baby’s cup(the kind given as a gift). The silver is sanitizing (that’s why churches use them). It really does minimize funky water. I do not like drinking out of plastic. 😊

  47. @Kam-o2v on June 20, 2025 at 7:17 pm

    Love your ideas! I have the Rovynon A8 keychain light. It’s tiny any jam-packed with features

  48. @aprilstill1316 on June 20, 2025 at 7:17 pm

    Where can I get the small zipper pouch?

  49. @kittykathy9532 on June 20, 2025 at 7:19 pm

    Great video! I always carry a tiny little metal Spork that folds up and in its own little tiny tiny pouch. And I carry a tiny silicone straw in a little clear baggie. I’ve actually used those more times than I can count and everybody laughs, but then when they see me use it they think that’s a great idea lol😊

  50. @PragmaticPerson on June 20, 2025 at 7:21 pm

    Thank you again, Eunice! I’m glad you’re feeling better. I will add carrying masks again in my must-haves. ❤
