Short Summary

Main recommendation: Marques Brownlee shares his 2022 everyday carry setup, recommending the Peak Design Everyday Carry 20-liter backpack and the TickTick to-do app as standout favorites. The video is a walkthrough of what he carries daily, with notes on which items he has upgraded since his last version.

Key Points

  • The Peak Design Everyday Carry 20-liter backpack is his go-to daily bag, which he describes as designed to be a photography bag with side zippers for access.
  • He carries a 16-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro, saying the larger screen lets him edit videos away from his desk.
  • For travel audio, he uses AirPods Max paired with his Apple ecosystem, and a Canon R5 with a 15–35mm lens for everyday photography.
  • He keeps an Android phone (Pixel 6 Pro) in one pocket and an iPhone 13 Pro (1TB) in the other, because he constantly tests both ecosystems.
  • He calls TickTick his favorite app of the year for organizing multiple parallel projects.

Details Worth Noting

  • Concrete instructions: The video gives no step-by-step procedures, but it offers practical choices to copy. Carry a USB-C wall charger such as a slim 50-watt model for travel. Keep a USB-C cable with a built-in wattage display to see how much power a charger is delivering. Keep a backup key for the car if your phone dies, since the car uses a phone and Bluetooth signal as its key. Use TickTick as a single place to organize multiple projects, using its focus planner and Pomodoro timer.
  • The Opal C1 webcam is recommended for video calls, though he discloses that he is an investor in the company.
  • His Apple Watch charging setup is a workaround: the MagSafe Duo does not support Series 7 faster charging, so he carries a separate metal puck charger.
  • Dark Sky, the weather app, is iPhone-only after Apple acquired it and removed Android support, which he notes as a loss for Android users.
  • He keeps a Lightning-to-headphone-jack adapter for older accessories and lists Relay Pro for Reddit and the Copilot finance app among his regular apps.

Bottom Line

The video is less a buying guide than a snapshot of one creator's daily tools, with the strongest recommendations being the Peak Design backpack and TickTick for task management.
