About

Hi 👋 my name is Jonathan and this channel is all about helping you find the right everyday carry and travel gear to reduce friction in everyday life, and on your travels. Before YouTube I spent many years sourcing, testing and reviewing products from around the world for my retail chains The Gadget Shop and RED5 with over 100 high profile UK stores and working with some of the biggest names in UK retail. I also co-founded a product development business and following that a health-tech business. I now focus fully on having fun finding new great gear and ideas to share with you on the channel to hopefully educate and entertain. I am joined by Jamie and we work together with the aim of producing new content each week.

Video Description

A Superlight version of my favourite travel kit designed to get me out of trouble when away from home. This comes with me on every trip and for this kit every item has been revisited with the aim of reducing weight whilst maintaining the capability. Here are links to the products featured.
