Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (46mm) – A solid smartwatch with a classic design and a rotating bezel that makes navigation smooth. I use it mainly for notifications, step tracking, and controlling music while exploring. It runs Wear OS, so I can install proper apps, but the battery life could be better. Still, it looks and feels more like a real watch than most smartwatches.

Sony WF-C500 Earphones – Compact and lightweight wireless earbuds with great sound quality for the price. I use them for music and podcasts when I’m out or just chilling. The battery life is solid, and they’re comfortable to wear for long periods. No noise cancelling, but they still block out a decent amount of sound.

Pens – I’m a fan of Parker Jotter pens for their smooth writing experience and classic design. They’re reliable and feel great in hand. Uni-ball pens also make the cut, especially for their consistent ink flow and comfort. Both are my go-to for writing, whether I’m jotting down notes or just scribbling something quick.

Med Kit – A compact, essential kit I always have on hand for any scrapes or injuries during explorations. It includes Germaline for antiseptic care, 4Head for quick relief from headaches, medical tape, bandages, wound wraps for cuts or bruises, alcohol wipes and a thermal emergency blanket for extra warmth in case of an emergency. It’s not the best kit out there, but it’ll do fine for what I need and helps me stay safe while out and about.

Drinks – My go-to drink is the Monster Energy Zero Ultra (White) – it’s my absolute favorite for that perfect mix of energy and flavor. The Relentless Original or Relentless Cherry comes in at a close second, mainly because it’s cheaper but still packs a nice flavor punch. Honestly, any energy drink is good in my books as long as it gives me that boost, whether I’m out exploring or just need a pick-me-up.

Sony A6000 – My main camera for urban exploration and photography. It’s lightweight, fast, and delivers great image quality, especially compared to my older cameras. The autofocus is solid, and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens works well for most shots. It’s not the newest camera, but it does everything I need and is a huge step up from using my phone. {the lens in pic isnt the sigma i use}
