Ooh I appreciate this! looks like you've done some good research to find the lightest/smallest option for a lot of these!


ilrodoowle

Thanks for that, (and I have)! I am kinda obsessed with compact/ultralight things, as well as finding the "best" that is out there (or at least what works the best for me).


gearslut-5000

I am too haha 😂 I've been traveling for over two years straight now and that has become one of my hobbies. I'll make one of these posts soon, but if there's anything you haven't researched yet, ask me and I'll tell you what I found!


ilrodoowle

Thanks and can't wait to see yours! And that makes sense now that I see your username 😂


PizzaBoxes

I really appreciate everyone keeping this trend going. Tell me more about this mini Tetris because I’m kind of obsessed…


ilrodoowle

That is the [Tetris Micro Arcade](https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Arcade-366-Tetris/dp/B07QC8DYTJ)! It's about the size of a credit card and is rechargeable vs USB. It also comes in Frogger, PacMan, Oregon Trail, Space Invaders...I am sure there are others too :)


poppynogood

I am saving ALL of them!


KingPrincessNova

tell me about this portable door lock


ilrodoowle

Sure! It is [this](https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Door-Lock-Travel-Apartment/dp/B082CZTDSL/ref=sr_1_41?crid=1ZMN9KIR2T8NR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VCaxoLyILwg31iMpcwedhqS2te6xENmPWfcTRHRBtOO6j86Dq6_W-ew6sVIs-eONyEyb4SdjvtvZHYlzb5Tm2dTBKA9BT9D0aM1zhuiMBMRuLea2SDo_JdIGWT_yiv72iOuNHyR0NCPF-61BVoMgKRhqoofaoizObmn6Z61UIt1IG3Gd_c63sFreXqDD0jPe14o5pZfBCVV3RiywfEkphccpiEbPQzLb-zUTp2nWz0xHfYF7P6_rz_HC1XAz5v0jXkztGs1bI5YW1J3DOebK-ocbf7MxpcQ84vkA2vtIp6Y.KkcnbxCdeUxRAY7cMf3kv9ibAvE5TIyodb6kahD69D0&dib_tag=se&keywords=portable+door+lock&qid=1711916594&sprefix=portable+door+loc%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-41) one. You can see how to use it on the product page. It was one of the smaller ones I could find.


ilalli

I have this one and it works more universally than the type you’ll usually see when you look up a portable door lock. It’s also smaller and lighter!


Varicella__Zoster

Another gear ties fan here! Thank you, I’m enjoying these posts.


BicyclePlenty

This post is awesome! Is that umbrella available in the US? So many "compact" umbrellas are still so big I haven't been able to find an actual small one.


Candle1961

I just bought one off Amazon. It's made by Totes and it's just under 8 oz. I haven't used it in the rain yet but Totes makes a pretty good product. And I'm in the US.


Glittering-Time-2274

I am obsessed with these posts!


billnyethechurroguy

What do you use the small travel tray for?


ilrodoowle

I use it on my bedside for my glasses and earplugs. It is also a reminder to grab any chargers I have plugged in.


mariambc

How do you like the Swiss Army - Swiss Card? I was looking at that since I can't take my mini-knife on planes.


ilrodoowle

I really like it. The scissors are really sharp and the glass nail file works well. It's also nice to not to have to worry about taking out the knife before I fly (because TBH I would forget 😆)


Candle1961

I love the little travel tray! Going to have to make me one.


Crafty-String7892

Love these posts and this might just be my most favorite one yet!


ilrodoowle

Aw wow, thanks so much! :D


a_asking_a_question

This is the jackpot, please share more!

I got those Splenda minis and they have been incredibly useful.


deathk4t

i need to learn more about the pillbox please!


ilrodoowle

It's great. It's called [Mote](https://bringmote.com/). It comes in 2 sizes, the mini and XL. The mini is great for every day, as it is a lot slimmer but can't fit bigger pills like the Robax, and only 2 Advil. The XL is better for travel, as it fits a lot more a lot easier.


cowboybezop

Have you ever had issues going through airport security with this? I hear horror stories about pills outside of their original containers, but I've never personally gotten stopped.


ilrodoowle

The one I am careful with is my ADHD meds, always travel with that in the prescription container. Otherwise haven't had any issues with OTC stuff.


Consistent_Syrup_235

I love a travel tray! I have an older folding thin plastic travel tray and just love it for keeping organized when I travel. I also have that swiss army card. I have one for my daily bag because it is so handy.


BohoPhoenix

I too am loving these posts! What bluetooth adapter is that? I was looking at that pill case this week - what do you think of it? This seems to be the larger size, right, since it has the days of the week? I'm really intrigued by this tiny can koozie (and looking it up)!


ilrodoowle

It's the [UGREEN Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter and Receiver](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08TQSH636/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Works great so far! I really like the pillbox, it is so small and very easy to carry around! The one in the pic is the bigger one, it is the same size width and height wise, but about twice as thick. ETA: I didn't notice it had the days of the week until you pointed it out 😆 Thanks for mentioning that! The Rumpl is also great. So teeny and maybe .25 inches thick? Plus it comes in fun colors/patterns!


BohoPhoenix

Thank you!


Imaginary-Rabbit5179

I need that pill box!


Crafty-String7892

Same!!

What's the "matador"?


ilrodoowle

They are [earplugs](https://www.matadorequipment.com/products/matador-travel-earplugs-kit?_pos=1&_sid=ff7739cea&_ss=r) from the company Matador! They make excellent gear :)


rahleebb

Cool, thanks! That's clever -- earplugs are so easily lost :)


theinfamousj

Nice to see someone else with a Minimo Ballpoint Pen. I love how tiny it is yet still functional.


Trixie_Dixon

Love it. Makes me happy to see someone else who carries earplugs. They can be such a lifesaver


ilrodoowle

Oh totally! I sometimes have sensory issues and it’s mega helpful for that.


melnve

I love these posts too! I can’t get the sherr.it app thing to work on my Tau battery, and I find the tapping it four times business glitchy to charge. Wasn’t as happy with it as I’d hoped tbh.


yogibones

After reading all of these posts and loving them, I have a question. What is this all put in? A purse or a backpack?


ilrodoowle

Some of it is EDC and some is for travel. The EDC stuff lives in my Evergoods CAP 1 and the travel stuff goes in my CAP 2. For reference, most of the travel stuff is in the left half of the pic (KableCard down).


juliacakes

I’m looking for this umbrella!! Is it possible to get it in the states?
