*man sound*
Hey guys what's up? I'm Ola Englund of The Haunted, Feared
and this YouTube channel that you're watching right now.
This week I'm going to Japan, SUCCESS! Yes!
And I figured I would make a video and
show what I have in my carry-on luggage when I go out on tour or when I go out
traveling. Last time I was out traveling I went to Barcelona, I got mugged
of my carry-on luggage so basically I lost everything
passport, computer, camera, everything and it was just a really big hassle.
Fortunately for me I was insured so I've been able to replace almost everything.
I figured I would make this video to just you know, it's a good thing to remind
yourself what I actually need when I'm out traveling. So generally when I'm out
traveling for work or for The Haunted for instance I try to fit everything
that's not music related into my carry-on luggage so I don't have any
extra luggage. My carry-on is basically everything I need for when I'm out
traveling and I'm gonna make this little short video and show you what I keep in
my carry-on luggage. First and foremost the most important thing that I bring
would be...
My hair bands!
Very important! I tend to lose hair bands all the time so
I need to keep an extra pair of hair bands with me at all times.
I would probably exclude everything else if I just had to pick one thing to bring
with me in my carry-on case, it would be my hair bands, okay?
Makes sense...
So I got my hair bands here they're close for me to grab if I need them.
*huh*
*I'm the table*
So another thing is my MacBook Pro this is a new one and because my last one was
stolen obviously so for the insurance money I managed to buy a new
MacBook Pro and yeah it's nice looking. Unfortunately because it having
the new USB-C ports and nothing else you have to buy one of these as well. So you
can hook up your real stuff. So this little thing that I put here on the side
it has regular USB ports, that's a memory card reader and an HDMI out and I'm also
bringing an HDMI cable so I can hook up my computer to my TV and watch movies
and stuff like that when I'm not traveling, but obviously I'm working a
lot when I'm on tour so the MacBook is very important I can you know work with
my music I can work with videos, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro X and it's a very
important item for me and basically because I'm storing everything on cloud
or cloud services I can work on the same things that I'm working on at home but
on the road, so cloud services are definitely one of the greatest
inventions in a long time I would say. When my previous MacBook got stolen I
mean I got pissed off of course but obviously not because of the stuff
that was inside because all that can be replaced because I'm using and I'm
working through cloud services so in that sense the future is really here
You don't have to worry about your stuff, everything is password protected
and yeah you can just replace the computer and you're up and running in
minutes basically. So the computer; very important and its small little dick or
pair of balls that you put on it which is totally stupid I hate that.
At least
it has a headphone output, a regular one so thank God for that.
Another thing that's very important of course; extra battery, what do you call it?
Power Bank, very important for when you are losing...
Power?
Ok lets go to the headphones and my previous headphones were also stolen in my carry-on so I
bought a pair of new ones these are from Bose they are noise cancelling headphones
and I think they're called quiet comfort yada yada something-something but I
was very happy with these so I bought a pair just like the ones that got
stolen because I'm just very happy, they sound great, they're small and yeah noise
cancelling too - so if I'm sharing room with anyone within The Haunted I use these
when they snore, a lot.
And dude...
The people in The Haunted...
Gawdamnit everyone snores
Hory sheet...
That pisses me off to be honest...
So I'm trying to get my own
room here and there just to you know actually get some sleep now and then.
That's what's so good about bus tours usually you cannot hear the snoring
because the bus is driving, so I sleep a lot better
during bus tours believe it or not.
Next thing obviously, one of these, so you can
actually hook up your stuff in the country you're in. This is just a small piece
of shit thing here I have.
And then I have my camera which was also stolen in
my carry-on luggage and I bought the same exact one this is a Panasonic Lumix
GH5 and it's just a really good camera and it's not that big either
so I can be vlogging like this...
Hey man! What's up?
Looking good there...
I like your beard...
So I'm not bringing this all the time but since I'm going to Jakarta after Japan
to do some quality checking of Solar Guitars, I'm bringing this with me
because I like documenting stuff.
A very important thing and a new
thing is my Christmas gift to myself, A Nintendo Switch!
Before I've been
bringing controllers and trying to play games on my macbook and it's
fine you know I can play 2D games and stuff like that but it's a hassle
really so this Nintendo Switch is basically my new gaming system for going
on the road and right now I'm playing Zelda, Super Mario and Mario Kart,
those are the games that I have. Ff I bring my dock I can hook it up to a TV or
anything like that or I can actually pull off the controllers like this,
I can place the the screen like that and I can plug the controllers into this, so
it's a little easier to play and I can play games wherever I can do this on the
plane and just use this as a screen. So in that sense I think Nintendo has
really nailed it with the Nintendo switch. It's not PS4 graphics,
it's not supposed to be. It's never been about the graphics with Nintendo but the
games are really good. If they would ever release Witcher 3 for
Nintendo Switch...
That would ruin my life. And of course I'm carrying it in my
beautiful little Nintendo switch case. What else? Of course I have a bag of
cables with all the chargers and HDMI cable so I can hook everything
up to whatever TV they have at the hotel. Yeah that's it for this part. Then I also
bring my glasses of course you never know if the Sun peeks out and you need
to look cool somewhere, it's always good to bring a couple of Raybans or
something like that. And then of course I bring my regular glasses because
I'm blind, maybe you didn't know that but yeah,
I'm blind so I need these.
Sometimes...
So what else? Yes, an envelope with copies of all my flight tickets, hotel details,
passports...
Passports... Like I'm some kind of secret agent...
I have a Russian passport too that's why I keep the glasses. This is my Russian persona.
This is Ola.
This is... Vloda.
Ola...
Vloda...
okay good
Toiletry items, basically I don't have that much, I need a deodorant,
toothpaste, toothbrush, nail clipper What else?
Yeah contact lenses shit...
I always forget about those.
Depending on how many days you're out I take one pair
of black sock and one pair of underwear for each day so if I'm gone five days
it's five piece of underwear, five piece of black sock.
It has to be black socks...
There is no other color, only black...
Same thing with t-shirts basically
just black, a couple of them. When I travel I try to
put on as much clothes as possible, I have my thick hoodie and my big
coat so I don't have to pack it down into the carry-on because that just
takes a lot of space. There you have it this is what I bring with me when I
go out on tour or go out traveling and you don't really need much
more. I guess the most important thing are the black socks, now that I think of it...
*mumbling*
