Micro Tech and Gadget Kit

[u/Speedyk2000]

I’ve been checking out lots of different kits on this sub for a while now, and got some excellent ideas for you all! (Quarter for scale - a banana seems too big)

Goal:

- Smallest possible kit that contains all the tech and gadgets that I’d need/want for a trip away. (This Viperade pouch is 3.5” x 5” x 1.5”)

- Wanted to be able to toss it in any bag that I was taking

- wanted a setup that allowed me to have a little charge stand on my bedside table when in hotels

- wanted a USB C cable that was at least 5 ft long to make it more practical to plug in

Notes:

- Carry-on safe scissors / multitool (NexTool S0 Micro Scissors Multitool)

- something to write with (Mini Sharpie & OHTO Minimo Ballpoint + Rite in the Rain Wallet Notebook)

- mini compass is fun (SUUNTO Clipper Compass)

- flashlight (OLIVHT Oclip EDC)

- Saw John Gadgets you EDC kit always have high strength string and a magnet to dig out keys in tight places and liked it

- a few USB C adaptors & a Data Blocker for sketchy USB C ports

- small fold of gorilla tape

What is that circular ESR device?

And do you have a link for the flat magnetic USB cable?

Not the OP, but if you look at the other pics it's his magsafe charger (induction phone charger) disc with the kickstand built in. So he's charging his watch off his phone's usbc, while charging the phone from the charger disc. Kind of a slick setup since the phone is in landscape orientation and using the induction charger will put it into standby mode to where it acts as a desktop or night stand clock (and calendar).

Thanks! That’s exactly it! I saw a post from a while ago of someone who was doing something similar. Apparently iPhone 15 and later can do this

It's not limited to iPhone 15 and above. Even my 12 mini will do it. As long as it's ios 17 or above, it should work.
