- Best thing about the LTT Store Linus Plushie
is its groundbreaking design-
(rumbling sound)
Whoa, earthquake (screams).
(Linus grunts)
Okay, I think it's over.
Now, where'd I put that emergency kit?
(Linus exclaims)
There we go.
Got food and shelter and stuff.
But where's the other one?
Ah, there we go.
Anker, our sponsor for this video
helped us build out this,
The Tech Survival Kit.
This is gonna keep us comfortable, connected,
and distracted while we wait for emergency crews
to get us back online.
So all that's left to do now
is to set it all up and hunker down.
(upbeat music)
In an earthquake or other disaster
it could be 24 or 72 hours
before emergency services show up.
So what's the first thing we need to do?
We need to get to our emergency point.
So we've chosen the living room set,
but in the case of an actual emergency,
we'd probably choose somewhere
with slightly fewer things hanging overhead
in case of aftershocks.
Next we crack into our bag
starting with all jokes and Anker sponsorship aside,
the life necessities bag
so what do we got in here?
Whoop, emergency tissues.
Got this like fricking dense dehydrated ration.
Apparently I'll be eating these rations,
but they have been expired for how long?
- I mean, they're probably fine.
No, 03, 20, oh, 21.
Oh yeah, no, the water's been expired for a year.
I guess we'll be drinking them then.
Wouldn't want them to go to waste.
Got a hand-crank charging,
(radio static)
combo radio,
flashlight.
(siren sound) (Linux screams)
Siren
and charger.
So that's neat.
You can actually input or output five volts,
and it comes with a couple little adapters.
You're gonna really be cranking that for a long time
if you wanna charge your phone or something though.
That's where Anker's gonna come in,
spoiler alert.
(Linus laughs)
First aid kit.
Tube tent.
Got your ponchos,
whistle,
three-week candle,
emergency sleeping bags,
some rope.
Are those condoms?
I mean, I can see why those would...
no matches and rubber gloves,
and regular gloves.
I got three wicks, boys.
Three wicks, one cup.
I'm getting into a mood here.
I guess we'll go tent first.
I mean, that's the first thing you do
after you light the candle, you pitch the tent.
(Linus laughing)
Where were those condoms again?
(Linus laughing)
Do you wanna just like
be my emergency survival buddy here?
You're gonna drink the water with me right?
(Linus laughs)
- No.
So we're in this together until the going gets tough.
- I see.
Here you go.
Oh, no.
Ah, wait, (laughs) you pulled the whole thing.
(exclaims) It keeps zapping me.
Oh, well.
This is like "Three Stooges" level at this point.
Okay, we got this.
Here.
- I have it.
I can just tie it around the desk.
- That's a strong anchor point.
- Hey, get it? Get it?
'Cause it's sponsored by Anker.
- Okay.
Under any other circumstances they tell you
not to play in plastic bags.
(Linus and Collin laughing)
Maybe that was just me when I was a kid.
Okay, Linus, don't play with the plastic bag.
Okay.
Yep, I'm tented.
Emergency sleeping bag.
Great for emergencies.
No, (bleep).
(paper rustling)
How's my audio, David?
- Now I'm ready to not die.
Now that our shelter is set up
and our rations are all accounted for,
we are ready to stay in place for 72 hours.
Now, I should note that this is a shelter-in-place bag
versus a bug out bag.
So we don't have any kind of wilderness survival kit
other than like the pocket knife
and no navigation equipment.
So it's more for waiting through something like a flood
or earthquake or other emergency.
Now it's time to crack open our tech bag.
And because we're not going very far,
we can afford to stash some heavier things in it.
Like creature comforts that'll keep us busy
while we wait for someone to respond to our distress calls.
Starting of course with the cornerstone,
the Anker 535 Portable Power Station.
This sucker has got a flashlight
and not one of those useless ones,
like it's got a little light bar
so it actually spreads it out really nicely.
Four USB ports that'll do up to 60 watts
with USB power delivery
on this USB-C right here.
A car socket as well as four AC outlets
that'll do up to 500 watts.
And I am sweating.
I need to get out of the sleeping bag.
Holy crap, these things work.
I've never actually been in one.
Whoa,
okay.
That was just...
I'm sorry, I need to take off this hoodie.
Even our nice light indoor hoodie from lttstore.com,
too warm right now.
Okay (laughs).
First up we got...
Okay, I wasn't here when they packed this.
Really, Doritos.
Let me guess,
look it's a tech bag not a gamer bag.
With that said I didn't have breakfast today so
(paper rustling)
I'm like super down.
Here you go.
You don't want Doritos?
David?
(paper rustling)
Next up, we've got a personal electric heater.
Now, honestly speaking,
we'd recommend getting something
a little bit smaller than this one.
This is a 400 watt heater.
So our Anker power station is gonna run this for
a little bit over an hour.
But the reason that we got it
was to show you guys that 500 watts of peak output.
And this was the closest thing we could find
that could push this puppy to its limits.
And here we go, 158 watts, 178 watts,
it's going, boy,
it's 191,
374,
450,
ah, 460.
It's supposed to be 400 watts.
470.
(man laughs)
- That's why you'd want something
a little bit lower capacity.
And in any way, if you're in that
like frickin' space blanket,
you're not gonna need this much heat.
Here we go.
We got the Stress Man.
Stress Man.
Okay, is this just a bag full of memes, Collin?
I'm Stress Man.
- Yeah, I mean, that's fair enough.
I don't...
I guess you could drink the goo inside
if you were really desperate.
Stress Man (indistinct).
- [Man] Oh.
Oh, here it is, oh.
- Now these are cool.
I'm something of a sock enthusiast.
(groans) these I know about.
We've got electric socks.
Now, you might laugh at that
and go, "Oh you mocked the Stress Man,
but electric socks?"
But this is actually a way more practical way
of heating yourself up than just having a space heater,
which is gonna throw most of that energy out
into the air around you.
And actually I would wanna be not stupid
and not have another sock on underneath it.
Fun fact,
insulators are insulators.
So the more barriers you put
between the heat source and your body,
the less of it ends up in your body.
Just so you know.
(serene music)
(upbeat music)
Okay, where's my battery at for these boys?
Is that a pocket?
Yeah, that's a pocket.
Oh, yeah.
Hold on.
(Linus grunts)
Oh, yeah.
This just gets better and better.
We've got the neck light, boys.
(plastic tearing)
(Linus laughs)
Okay.
What else we got here?
The Black Diamond ReMoji
LED lantern.
That's cool.
It's got little hanging hooks
and look at that,
that's fantastic.
We're hanging it.
(paper rustling)
There we go.
Oh, look at that.
- [Man] Nice.
- Nice.
I don't even need this thing.
Assorted charging cables from Anker.
A rubber band gun.
(clicking sound)
Oh no, right in the dick.
- This is cool.
It's more of camping tech than computer tech,
but the LifeStraw is sick.
It'll remove anywhere from three to six kinds of bacteria,
parasites and microplastics,
and reduces chlorine as well as lead
and other heavy metals.
And will apparently filter a hundred liters of water.
I have no idea what they intend for me
to actually drink through it though.
Maybe I can use it for those scary expired packs.
Oh my God, are you serious?
So what?
I just stick this in the thing.
Oh my God.
I really don't like this.
Where the heck did you get this water?
- Out back.
- I don't like this.
I'll do it, I'll do it,
just give me a sec.
You really gotta go at it.
It's fine.
- Wow, that's actually pretty cool.
(serene music)
(David laughs)
- Wow, that's so cool.
- All right, let's get our...
Some more stuff from Anker.
So here we've got even more USB ports,
not that we really need those
'cause we've got power station,
but this is just a nice little
multi-tap power extend USB-C three cube,
which naturally we'll be using with our gaming device.
So I packed my old Aya Neo Founders Edition in here.
We can you use that to play emulated games, PC games,
all kinds of other good stuff.
Of course my battery is low.
So it's time to get that plugged in.
I love it.
And
boop, boop.
There it goes.
Spicy sausage Bolognese.
Just add water,
oh God, that water?
I might go LifeStraw water for that.
Dark chocolate mousse.
What kind of mouse?
(man laughs)
The blocks energy juice
as well as another Anker power brick.
This one, one that we can actually recharge
with (imitates drum roll)
the PowerPort Solar.
This is a nice little...
Oh, here we go.
Solar panel for when it's day time again
and it's time to recharge this particular brick.
One cool feature of this brick
is that all you gotta do is turn around
this little buddy right here.
Look at that, that's a little LED flashlight.
What's really nice about this guy
is we can also use this,
not just the large power station to charge a laptop
or portable gaming device like this,
like a high voltage device.
At 94 watt hours, this will nearly
double the battery life of a laptop
and it'll do two full charges of a smaller device
like the Neo.
A Leatherman and a spork to consume all this food with.
This is great.
And apparently I'm supposed to start
with the Datrex multipurpose emergency ration crackers,
the expired ones.
Or biscuits or whatever you wanna call them.
We're not allowed to use that C word anymore.
- These are good?
- They look good.
- Okay.
One every six hours per person, apparently.
(serene music)
- [Man] Why are we still here?
Just to suffer.
(Linus coughs)
- Sorry.
Well, actually this is scarier than the biscuits.
(serene music)
Okay.
(serene music)
Not bad but I think we can do better.
Why don't we try one of our other snacks?
Well, I guess the first thing we gotta do
is get some water going here.
This is the Jetboil Micro which Collin is very proud of.
Apparently what differentiates this
from the other Jetboil this size
is that it does more than just boil water,
you can actually cook with it.
Come on, buddy.
Okay, I will try not to break it too much.
I mean, realistically,
if it wasn't durable enough for me
then it's probably not durable enough for you,
you don't really like it at that point.
Look at that.
(Collin exclaims)
Yeah, that is super cool, Collin.
You haven't used it at all?
- 60 seconds.
Yeah, look at it go, that's crazy.
So let's go with the spicy sausage Bolognese.
Oh, there's a little do not eat in there.
Should I take that oat first
or what?
That actually smells pretty good.
Is this my lunch today?
I should let Yvonne know I don't need lunch today then.
Then I just need to not burn myself while I try to...
(man chatters indistinctly)
Ooh, it's insulated,
but it's hot.
No, no, we're good, we got this.
Do, do, do, do, do,
do, do, do.
- Well...
(exclaims) It's gonna burst.
(exclaims) Hot steam.
Since this one takes 10 minutes as well,
we might as well prep dessert
while we wait for our dinner to cook.
Cold water for this guy.
I don't know if this actually looks as promising
as the dinner.
Stirred not shaken.
(Linus stirring food)
All right.
(paper rustling)
Time for some dinner.
(paper rustling)
Okay, hello.
Come on.
(exclaims) there it is.
- Oh, oh. - Oh, oh.
I did not mix it enough, confirmed.
Well, David, you were right.
- And I was wrong.
Well, we're gonna hope for the best here
'cause I have now called off my lunch,
and Yvonne apparently gave it to someone else.
So this is what I'm eating.
(man laughs)
That's fine, it can't be that bad.
Just a little bit of like powdered stuff in it.
Okay, we're trying it.
We're trying it.
Actually, it still looks really hot.
(paper rustling)
You hear that crunch?
- [Man] No.
- I found some crunchy bits.
(man laughs)
The taste is good though.
- [Man] That actually smells good.
- That's good.
(indistinct) wanna just break for lunch.
- I'll just hang here.
Oh, you got my donair?
- You freaking guy.
So that's who's getting my lunch.
That's actually not bad.
(phone ringing)
Hey,
cell service is back
which means the power should be coming back
at pretty much any...
And there it is.
We survived the techpocalypse.
This is a little bit of a different video
from what we normally do,
but thanks to Anker for sponsoring.
It gave us a chance to look at some really cool tech
outside of just computers for a change
so you can see their full lineup
of power solutions, chargers,
and really it's a lot of power solutions, cables
at the link down below.
If you guys enjoyed this video,
maybe go check out the Nebula Cosmos unboxing
on Short Circuit.
That's a sub-brand of Anker's,
and that portable projector is super cool.
I wouldn't have minded having that in the tech apocalypse.
