If you do sink laundry at a hotel use a towel and roll up the wet clothes. Stand on the roll for a minute or so. Still wet but it takes way less time to dry.

Im completely addicted to watching these videos, man. Im not even going nowhere but I keep watching

Honestly, I get that black is versatile and goes with everything, but Tom looks so good with colors! The light blue, yellow and even that patterned shirt go so well with his complexion.

One of the best tips I've found from living in a warm, humid climate (eastern Texas) is to wear lightweight, loose clothing that's preferably made from natural fibers. I don't get nearly so wet from sweat when I wear a loose 3/4 sleeve peasant blouse as I do when I wear a regular t-shirt. Wide-leg pants in light fabrics are also nice and cool. The absolute best item of clothing for summer is the good ol' muumuu (loose dress from Hawaii). It's not the most fashionable item; but when it's 95 degrees with stupidly high humidity, I really don't care what I look like as long as I'm not sweating my butt off.

Perfect time. Here in Texas the summer lasts until dang near December! Keep pumping these out!

Removing sweat/smell is great to avoid attracting mosquitoes , so get a body sponge scrub and you can calmly foam up and wipe down with a portable towel if theres no shower close. You can try it at home as a “water saving day” or training for those moments when water is rationed in some places

Hemp and linen is an alternative to Merino if you're vegan or specifically in hotter climates where Merino might not be the best option. If you're not too fond of microfiber towels, whether if it's because of environmental (microplastics) or comfort preferences, look into linen towels, they get softer after usage and compared to cotton they pack smaller, lighter, odor resistant, holds more water, and dries faster. To add to the hydration part, make sure to have your salts in check, especially if you sweat a lot. Packing some electrolyte supplements/energy drink powders can help when you're in a pinch. Menthol has been shown to improve performance in runners during hotter environments, ingestion being the most effective way (menthol and cold water seems to be the best). Mileage may vary and not everyone is a fan of menthol but it was worth a mention.

I would love to see a video dedicated to hiking

Sea to Summit biodegradable wipes and LiquidIV are necessities for me. Just hiked the Incan trail and both were godsends. The wipes are good enough to wipe old sunscreen, bug spray, sweat etc and can be buried bc they're eco friendly. Liquid IV allows me to get hydrated faster with less water. One in the morning and one at night with only 2L of water is more than enough for a whole day imo.

Channel so good

Just in time for fall

Great packing tips! We've been after a compressible water bottle for a while. Definitely a great space saver!

My Tilley is packable, vented and wide brim. Perfect for travel.

I'm from the Netherlands and the weather changes a lot here, thanks for all the tips!

Featuring Osprey's Tropos bag! I've been using an older version for a few years now and I'm glad to see it in your videos at last! Hope you guys are enjoying using it!

I've been buying Vivobarefoot shoes for my family for the past few years and not only are they the only thing we want to put on our feet in the way of shoes, they pack super flat, and I can even pack a pair or two of my size 13 in my Radian with no problem. I think we've accumulated 14 pair. The primus knits look great and feel great for the city streets, and their trail shoes are awesome off-pavement. We love their sandals and hiking boots as well.

I love merino wool! It's such a great and versatile material. :)

I didn't watch the tips on packing for cold weather. In my country, there are 2 climates. Hot season and hotter season this video helps lol.

Thanks for yet another video, especially packing for warm weather. ☀️😁❤️ It's so cold now in SE Michigan. 🥶❄️🙄
