Fly Prepared: Travel-Friendly EDC Gear

I travel quite a bit for work. Not as much as some but certainly more than most. My air travel can range from overnight trips with only three-hour flights to ten-day trips where each leg requires more than twenty hours in the air. In addition to gaining frequent flyer status and an advanced awareness of airplane lavatories, another ancillary benefit is an appreciation for high-quality gear. More specifically, an appreciation for solid kit that punches above its weight class and provides a significant return on investment. 

Travel forces you to identify and analyze what items you find important and separate nice-to-have kit from necessities. It’s an exercise in critical decision-making about what you carry and for what reason you carry it. 

When determining if I should invest in a piece of gear, I look at it through three primary filters: quality vs cost (can I depend on it and at the price point is it worth it?), functionality (does it execute well in its designated function(s)? And bonus points for items with multiple use cases), and usefulness (does it expand my capabilities in a meaningful way?). 

Essentially, these filters become exponentially more important when you travel and are potentially far from home. Additionally, it’s prudent to choose items that have a relatively travel-friendly form factor. The inherent challenge here is ensuring what you choose to forgo in size and weight doesn’t commensurately reduce functionality and effectiveness.

The intention of this article is to highlight gear that checks these boxes. Every item referenced is something I have personally carried for literally thousands of miles and have used extensively. While there are some fantastic in-depth reviews on Carryology, including some of the items I’ll profile here, this will be more of a high level carry collective viewed through the lens of travel. 

For this maiden voyage, I am profiling items from multiple companies. However, after taking inventory of my current go-to travel items, it became immediately apparent that one company had a larger presence than the rest. Ever since Patrick Ma and Chris Whitney launched Prometheus Design Werx (PDW) they have been creating and producing top-tier goods for the tactical and EDC community.

Beyond Ma’s legendary reputation, what initially drew me to PDW and has since made me a loyal patron was how perfectly their gear lived at the intersection of form and function. PDW claims to “Learn from the past, look to the future, and build for today.” I think they have done just that as they are consistently able to bring kit to market that pays homage to the vintage while taking advantage of modern materials and design techniques. Their high-quality multi-purpose performance apparel, equipment, and accessories are most certainly for the modern adventurer. 

I strongly recommend taking a long hard look at all of their offerings as they lend themselves so well to preparedness and therefore travel. While PDW gear has become a backbone of my carry system as of late, many other companies are also killing it in the travel game. I have highlighted several of these offerings that regularly find their way into my pocket or on my back. 

Now on to the gear. Anyone who travels with any frequency has likely already identified a carry system that works for them. The items listed below do not make up a comprehensive list of what I carry (although that will be covered in a future write-up) but do represent some major pillars of my carry system; a carry-on backpack that serves as my daily carry pack, my “Emergency AKA hope I will never need but still carry” kit, and a solid outerwear layer (which I pack regardless of destination). So without further ado, here are some items that I have used extensively and found to be exemplary.

Carry-On Backpack:

For the last several months I have been almost exclusively carrying the Prometheus Design Werx S.H.A.D.O. v2.0 as my primary office EDC and my extra carry-on bag that I put under the seat in front of me. The S.H.A.D.O. is an updated and dramatically improved iteration of the original pack by the same name. I have the Universal Field Grey that I utilize for day hikes but it’s the Syth Black version I use as my daily carry. The S.H.A.D.O. is 20″ high, 11″ wide at the base, 9″ wide at the top and 7″ deep so it fits perfectly under a plane seat. The majority of its volume is divided into two larger compartments and a smaller admin pocket. The pack is lined in high-visibility orange 70D ripstop nylon which not only could be crucial in an emergency situation but is also fantastic when attempting to find items in your pack in low-light situations (i.e. on planes).

This has proven itself extremely useful during travel when I normally would have had to spend time rummaging through a pack in the restrictive quarters of airline seating. The main storage compartment is a full clamshell design and includes two zippered mesh pockets. The clamshell feature is fantastic for travel as it allows you to pack surgically versus the grab-and-stuff method. 

However, in my opinion the most useful feature in terms of travel is the removable and reversible gear trap/beaver tail. On one side is a stretch panel with a zippered compartment and the other side is MCA (MOLLE Compatible Array). I can’t possibly convey to you how useful this gear trap is. Running through the airport and don’t have room in your pack for the book and snacks you just purchased? The beaver tail makes it a non-issue. I wish every pack had this or something similar. The S.H.A.D.O. also has dual side stretch water bottle pockets. I actually use these to throw my pocket items in when I go through security. This allows me to stow them securely through X-ray and then quickly retrieve them on the other side without having to open my pack at all. They work great and the stretch nylon has a phenomenal memory to it. Other really cool travel-friendly features are the “self-policing webbing straps”.

As I have said in several previous reviews, a high-end pack needs to include strap keepers. PDW’s answer for this is innovative, works great and ensures your straps don’t get caught on anything as you walk down the airplane aisle or you’re running through a crowded airport because you landed in a terminal that is three light years away from your connecting fight (I’m talking to you, Newark Airport).

Another fantastic carry-on pack selection is the Arc’teryx Granville 16 Zip . It is completely slick, sleek and exudes quality. Arc’teryx currently offers it in Black and Pilot (grey) but I have their Bushwhack colorway. It is essentially a really amazing version of the old OD green. Not generally in my wheelhouse but the color is pretty awesome in person. Not a stitch out of place and it hugs the back perfectly. It carries great and travels even better.

I used the 16 Zip on several trips from Boston to SF and a couple international trips and it was a fantastic companion. The only thing I found myself wishing it had was a small bit of organization and the extra 1.5″ depth previously mentioned . It rode under the seat like a champ and felt amazing on my back during the countless miles I put on it. The black low-profile straps offer just the right amount of padding while in no way being bulky. There are three main compartments which are all externally accessible, a trait which I really appreciate. There is a suspended and well padded laptop pocket that can hold up to a 15″ computer – it swallows my 15″ MBP perfectly and with room to spare. That is a non-negotiable for me with any pack I carry for travel.

They also utilize a WaterTight™ zipper and from experience, I can say the watertight title appears to be well earned and accurate. The material, zippers and frame sheet add up to an extremely svelte 26 oz (1.625 lbs). This is pretty phenomenal when you consider anything under 2.5-3 lbs to be relatively lightweight for a crossover pack. While it is listed at 16L, it feels and carries like a 22L pack. 

So, please do not let the published capacity prevent you from carrying it on a trip if your primary concern is that it may be too small. I assure you, this pack is more in line with what other popular companies call 20-24L.

Secondary Carry:

Inside the pack I carry PDW’s Carry All Tote Bag (CaB-2) . This item rolls up small and is worth its weight in gold if you are the kind of traveler who brings home more than what you left with. It is 18″ high, 13″ long, 8″ wide and made of the rugged and ubiquitous 1000D Cordura® nylon. It has both long and short carry handles and a surprising amount of features for a light “extra” bag. There is an internal magazine pocket, an internal tablet pocket and a side pocket for a water bottle. It also has a 4″ x 4″ loop panel for your favorite morale patches.

You can use this tote for virtually anything. I keep it at the bottom of my S.H.A.D.O. in case I pick up gifts or something at the Duty Free shops. It is insanely strong and I also use one in my hiking pack to carry firewood. While I don’t consider myself an environmentalist, I try to do my part to minimize what I use that’s disposable and this fits the bill. 

Another awesome option is the Matador DL16 Packable Backpack constructed of a waterproof 30D Cordura. It is 18″ x 12″, an anaemic 4.5 oz and packs down to the size of an orange. While it doesn’t necessarily serve the same purpose as the CaB-2, it’s still a great secondary carry option. I often keep this in my carry-on luggage because, well, why not. It expands your capabilities and you give up VERY minimal luggage real estate.

I also use a variety of organizer pouches to compartmentalize my contents. I love PDW’s such offerings that work so well with the S.H.A.D.O. (and other packs). The Admin Organizer (AO2) to wrangle my cables and chargers and the Accessory Pod (AP) for extra pens, receipts and other miscellaneous items but it’s the Stash Pouch (SP1) that holds my “emergency most likely will never need but still carry” kit.

With that said, my go-to travel pouch is the Nite Ize RunOff Waterproof 3-1-1 Pouch . It is perfect for travel-sized toiletries, electronics, or any smaller items that you want to keep protected. I love the gusseted bottom – it allows for great volume but also creates a nice base that allows it to stand up. It’s completely waterproof and features their TRU® Zip technology. Some of the coolest and most functional zippers ever. 

There are several “EDC-type” items that I almost always carry when traveling. They seem to fall into three categories; Pocket Tools, Safety/Survival, and Convenience. Here are some awesome recommendations under each of those umbrellas.

Pocket Tool:

PDW’s PB&J : I find a bladeless multi-tool to be an absolute travel necessity and have been loving the PDW PB&J pocket tool. It is precision milled from 6AL-4V titanium and is light and easy to carry while still feeling substantial in hand. At 4.5″ long and 1″ wide it is relatively large and I feel it is much better suited for pack carry rather than pocket duty. I carry it in the front admin section of my S.H.A.D.O. pack or clip it to the external webbing which is exceptionally easy with the integrated wire spring gate. It packs nine functions into its refined form factor; closed end wrench (for both metric and SAE hardware), pry bar, small nail puller, bit driver, battery bay driver, oxygen tank wrench and bottle cap lifter to name a few. 

While I love all the features, the inclusion of metric and SAE sizing is fantastic when traveling. The overall utilitarian design is efficient and maximizes its space in a way that feels both comprehensive and uncluttered. The fact that it’s almost completely rustproof means it’s also very low-maintenance. The low-maintenance piece is also something I place a huge premium on when traveling. The PB&J has a million uses and has proven its worth more times than I can count.  

Peter Atwood P15 Prybaby : I also sometimes carry the Titanium Peter Atwood P15 Prybaby. It is smaller that the PB&J and doesn’t have quite the functionality but it’s still a great option. To be clear, I carry an Atwood Tool as much for nostalgia and sentimentality as utility and functionality. Don’t get me wrong, they are machined flawlessly and contain a whole lot of function in a fairly small form, but my affinity for them has as much if not more to do with the fact they are made in New England and were one of my most coveted items when first dipping my toe in the EDC pool. They contain no frills, have nothing you don’t need and are made to use. The Prybaby specifically just falls away in the coin pocket and provides easy access to a cap lifter, pry bar and several small wrench sizes. 

Safety/Survival:

Survival/Stash Tube: The PDW Ti-SST is a compact, weatherproof, survival tube milled from a 6AL-4V titanium billet. It has a built-in, oil filled button compass with a 100M depth rating and a milled inset striking channel with a waterproof 3M abrasive strip for matches. I utilize the neck/tube to wrap 3mm survival cordage and a bit of duct tape. The machining on this is amazing and at 4″ long, and just under 1″ wide it’s the perfect size for travel. The dimensions were specifically chosen to store standard strike anywhere matches, standard ferro rods, US Military issue sparking units, tinder and much more. The silicone O-ring ensures anything stored in this area stays dry. I like to store several strike anywhere matches, some tinder, and a couple fishing hooks. I’ve always kept a compact survival kit and the Ti-SST is the perfect storage container.

Triple Aught Design’s Life Capsule Omega also works really well. This doesn’t have the same level of functionality as the Ti-SST, but it’s a high-quality great option if you are looking for a stash tube. It is constructed from lightweight and durable aircraft grade T6 aluminum and was specifically designed dimensionally to hold the ubiquitous NATO SAS Compass.

Emergency Blanket: I carry the CountyComm Emergency blanket . Unopened it is about 3.5″ x 5″ but opens to 84″ x 52″. I hope to never need it but it’s just too important and too small to not carry on trips. If called into action, it should retain around 90% of your body heat and if it’s good enough for SAR crews all over the world, it’s good enough for me.

Fire Source: Due to my lack of proficiency in starting fires without tools, having a reliable lighter is a must and arguably my most crucial survival item. The Thyrm PyroVault Lighter Armor is also a great piece of kit and something I use regularly. It is compatible with classic Zippo inserts, the O-ring is huge while preventing fuel evaporation and the polymer is virtually indestructible. The PDW Ti-FS MK2 is a compact capsule lighter that uses lighter fluid, wheel, flint and wick. With an overall size of 1.875″ x 0.625″ it has a tiny footprint that can easily fit in any survival kit. The milled “grenade type” surface looks amazing and provides increased purchase in cold or wet conditions. PDW also provides a flint dispenser with extra flints, wick and O-rings should you need to replace anything (I have not yet). There are many lighters on the market, but this is by far and away the highest quality of any I’ve handled.

Convenience:

Hydration: Ultimately, this could have been included under the safety/survival section and I could list at least five quality bottle options. I have carried many but ultimately landed on the YETI Rambler 18oz . First, it functions flawlessly for its intended purpose. It keeps my drink cold most of the day and keeps my coffee hot longer than anything else I’ve tried. As I am sure you know, TSA prohibits liquid through security so I carry it empty until I get to the terminal (or my destination). If you go with the YETI, I STRONGLY recommend also getting the Rambler Chug Cap . It really helps to prevent spills on the go and makes the overall drinking experience much easier.

Travel Utensils: Who has two thumbs, has found themselves really hungry and with food but not the requisite utensils? This guy! I also have kids and you have not seen scary until you have incurred the wrath of a 2-year-old girl who just wants her yogurt but you forgot to pack a spoon. Essentially, these PDW Ti Takedown Chopsticks and PDW Folding Spork are not a necessity, but they are too small, cool and useful to not carry. And believe it or not, I have used them as much, if not more, than any other EDC item I carry. As an added bonus, you can’t possibly calculate the cool points garnered when sitting in your first class seat and ignoring the provided utensils in favor of pulling out a pair of custom chopsticks made of Titanium, Brass and Mahogany. 

Kidding aside, they come apart and take up virtually no space in my pack. I keep mine in the aforementioned Nite Ize pouch and take them out frequently during my trips to APAC. The folding titanium spork, at just under 4″ closed and under an oz is equally convenient. As with their entire hard goods line, awesome quality. I keep it in the SP1 but I also carry one in my day hiking pack. The market is flooded with travel sporks but I love the wire handle and locking slider folding feature and the company pedigree gives me confidence in the longevity. And with its amazing strength to weight ratio, Titanium will always be any traveler’s friend. There are a ton of options in this category but I have by far the most experience with these.

Storage: The PDW EDTC is a storage and travel case made of 600D Nylon and utilizing a reverse coil zipper. It was really designed to hold two EDC items like folders to watches but I also use mine for eyewear protection. As an EDC guy, I have utilized many different methods for carrying and protecting EDC items during travel. Who doesn’t love a good Pelican case? But who wants to take up crucial pack or luggage real estate with even a small version? Not the discerning traveler. 

I often wear a watch and pack a second. I also sometimes carry a nice torch or two. If I am on overnight travel where flying is not needed, I often carry a couple nice folders. The EDTC is literally the perfect solution to protect these EDC treasures. It is just over 6″ long and 2.4″ wide, utilizes a clamshell opening and has a no-scratch lining. The die cut EVA foam bumpers work great and the divider easily allows you to separate multiple items. A $15 cost to protect some of the items that have a value far beyond what you paid? It looks amazing, is unbeatable quality, easy to carry and fits in almost any pack admin section. Yeah, sign me up. 

Travel Jacket:

It just wouldn’t be a comprehensive travel write-up if it didn’t include travel-friendly clothing. Arguably the star of this first travel-friendly write-up is the Tycho Down Hoodie . This. Jacket. Is. Amazing. It is amazing if you never travel and only utilize it for fall and winter hikes. But it is also the perfect, and I mean perfect, travel-friendly outerwear layer. Let me explain.

The Tycho Down Hoodie uses DownTek™ Water Resistant Certified 850 Fill Power Goose Down and baffle construction to distribute it. The Down vs. Synthetic debate is as old as time and something I don’t necessarily want to go too in-depth on here. But essentially, synthetic insulation is supposed to replicate the qualities of down but retain them when wet. But synthetic insulation tends to have a higher weight-to-warmth ratio and can be heavier. With Tycho, PDW utilized state-of-the-art DownTek™ brand goose down which is hydrophobic, and stays drier 27 times longer than normal, run-of-the-mill goose down. The DWR treated 20D ripstop shell only adds to the weatherproofing of this jacket. 

While I definitely wouldn’t want to use it as a standalone outer layer in a rainstorm for an extended period of time, the Tycho will perform admirably in adverse weather conditions. I have been caught in more than one downpour and it kept me warm and dry. Also their baffles are not welded which can increase the jacket’s weight and can create cold spots. The brushed poly tricot hood liner is super comfortable and keeps your dome toasty. It utilizes YKK two-way reverse coil zippers which are industry standard in a garment of this quality. 

While looks are subjective, I think the jacket is gorgeous. It’s athletically cut but not restrictive at all (as I too often find jackets like this to be). The Universal Field Gray is a great color that can really take on the color of whatever you are wearing with it.

The materials and chosen construction methods make the Tycho an outdoor, backcountry champion and one I know I will keep in my arsenal for many years. But what really takes it to the next level and makes it a fantastic travel jacket is its compressibility and travel-friendly features. We have already established that maximizing ROI by carrying items with multiple use cases is an important part of selecting travel gear. Well, this thing packs down to almost nothing and serves multiple functions in its packed form. You can stuff it into its own built-in stuff-sack pocket which basically makes it an extremely comfortable and hydrophobic down pillow. 

On one international trip I arrived in-country early before my hotel room was ready. With almost 15 hours of travel under my belt and no sleep on the plane, I found a bench in the lobby, packed down my Tycho and had a pillow that worked far better than just a rolled-up jacket. The Tycho also includes a detachable stuff-sack that converts into a travel neck pillow. I generally don’t utilize a travel neck pillow and would never pack one. But to have one if needed that takes up zero space doesn’t hurt. On a trip with my wife, she just couldn’t get comfortable. I converted my Tycho to a neck pillow and she was sleeping inside of 10 minutes. Husband level – Expert. It has a total of six nicely placed pockets as well as a wire media passthrough port in the chest pocket. I tend to use AirPods but sometimes do use wired EarPods as a backup and the wire passthrough is a nice bonus. I should also add that the Tycho is RDS Certified which means it utilizes ethically harvested down and best practices used in animal welfare.

Travel is inherently stressful. You are away from home and without the comforts that go with it. There is plenty to worry about when you travel and gear that doesn’t function as intended shouldn’t be one of them. Prometheus Design Werx continues to impress me with the thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed items they release. It wasn’t until I took personal inventory of the items I have been carrying that I truly realized how many PDW items are not just fantastic, but fantastic for travel. There is nothing worse than spending your hard-earned money on poor kit and it’s my sincere goal to recommend items that I can confidently say will provide you with amazing value. I am a subscriber to “pay more to never have to pay again” and I feel that way about my PDW goods.

As I said before, I look forward to future articles bringing you travel-friendly gear. As a bit of a teaser, I am currently testing a great piece of carry-on luggage and will provide a full write-up soon. I am also excited to share some additional clothing recommendations. As always, if there are any items you would love to have fully tested or you have any company recommendations, let us know. Until next time, safe travels.

Cabin Carry: 15 Must-Have EDC Travel Essentials

By: Tim Huber Published: Oct 04, 2023

For some, travel is primarily reserved for vacations and getaways. For others, globetrotting is a regular part of life, whether they happen to be avid jet setters and explorers or are routinely globetrotting for work. And for this latter group of individuals, normal everyday carry gear will seldom cut it, as an existence on the road, using foreign outlets and currencies, and living out of a suitcase necessitates a unique array of items — the latest and greatest of which we’ve rounded up for this handpicked guide to the best travel EDC essentials that money can buy. 

Bellroy Lite Ready Pack

Cut from an eco-friendly ripstop fabric that’s derived entirely from recycled PET bottles — and is three-times lighter than the brand’s other shell construction — the Bellroy Lite Ready Pack is a foldable and packable 18-liter backpack that’s been engineered from the ground up specifically for jet setting and life on the road. 

Field Notes Expedition Waterproof Notebooks 3-Pack

Printed in Illinois, the Field Notes Expedition Waterproof Notebooks 3-Pack is comprised of a trio of 3.5” x 5.5” all-weather EDC notepads that each contain 48 pages of dot-graph-style Yupo synthetic paper with saddle-stitch binding — a setup that’s been sandwiched between a set of special orange and black covers adorned in a subtle topo pattern. 

Matador Waterproof Pill Canister

The perfect medication organization and storage vessel for modern-day globetrotters, the Matador Waterproof Pill Canister features a crush-proof aluminum shell that sports seven individual compartments and a robust IPX4 water resistance rating. 

TEC Accessories Pico Pen

Sold with an included 12mm split ring and a snap ring for quick attachment and removal, the TEC Accessories Pico Pen is a travel and EDC-friendly writing instrument that boasts a machined stainless steel body that can easily be attached to a backpack or keychain — or carried in one’s pocket. 

Apple AirTag

With global GPS tracking capabilities and compatibility with tech giant’s ecosystem of devices, the Apple AirTag is a must-have for any regular traveler, as it affords one the ability to discreetly keep tabs on your luggage, equipment, or any other crucial items that you may be traveling with. 

Rolling Square inCharge X Portable Keychain 

Another absolute must-have essential for frequent flyers, the Rolling Square inCharge X Portable Keychain is a cleverly-designed six-in-one gadget that features half-a-dozen different charging combinations — and does so while delivering charging speeds of up to 18 watts as well as the ability to rapidly deliver data transfers. 

The James Brand The Halifax

Machined from grade 5 titanium billet, The James Brand Halifax is a minimalistic yet surprisingly utilitarian multi-tool that contains a 416 stainless steel bottle opener, a flathead and Phillips driver combo, and an integrated pry bar — all in a 2.875” package that’s 100% TSA-friendly and approved. 

MemoBottle A6

Whether you’re home or halfway around the world, staying hydrated is an essential part of daily life — which is why traveling with a well-made EDC bottle like the MemoBottle A6 is always recommended. Sporting a sleek leak-proof design cloaked in a matte black finish, this 16oz vessel is made from premium food-grade 304 stainless steel.

Twleve South Airfly

Equipped with up to 25 hours of battery life, the Twleve South Airfly is a wireless Bluetooth transmitter that can connect with up to two pairs of headphones. Offered in multiple versions including a Pro-spec, this item can also be used as an auxiliary adapter when driving a rental car — making it even more ideal for travel applications. 

Peak Design Mobile Tripod

Sold with an included ballhead tuning tool and a travel pouch, the Peak Design Mobile Tripod is an award-winning photography tool that allows its user to carry a pro-grade tripod in their pocket or bag, offering ample functionality and utility in a super compact and travel-friendly package.

This sling also includes several noteworthy features such as a raised pocket for sunglasses and a main strap secured using a magnetic clasp. 

NITECORE EDC27

Though it was engineered for regular everyday carry use, the NITECORE EDC27 features a PVD-coated stainless steel housing that’s compact enough to make it more than conducive to travel applications — plus the fact that it boasts an OLED display, a weight of under 5oz, a TIR optic lens, a 720’ throw, and a maximum output of 3,000 lumens certainly doesn’t hurt either. 

Bellroy Travel Wallet

Boasting room for ten or more cards, the Bellroy Travel Wallet is a classically-styled bifold that features a myriad of modern travel-focused amenities including RFID protection, a removable micro travel pen, a pocket for your passport, and a hidden compartment for space cash.

With compatibility with smart assistants and what is unquestionably some of the best active noise canceling tech that money can currently buy, the Sony WF-1000XM4 are simply a fantastic choice for travel use — an area furthered by their extended battery life and super crisp audio quality. 

Seiko 5 Sports GMT SSK001

With a fourth hand that allow for the tracking of a second time zone, modern GMT watches are unequivocally the best choice for travelers, and the Seiko 5 Sports GMT SSK001 is a fantastic four-hander that offers outstanding value with a 42.5mm stainless steel case with a rotating bezel, a multi-link stainless steel bracelet, 100 meters of water resistance, and a Japanese-made automatic movement.

The Best Items for a Travel-Friendly EDC

Getting out?

By Tanner Bowden

The operative word in the term EDC – everyday carry – is “everyday.” It implies daily use, which to some might come through something like Airpods and to others, a pocket knife. The items we find useful day in, day out vary from one person to another, but it’s not just a personal preference that allows for distinction in what we carry. Place plays a role too.

You might have an outdoor-specific EDC or one for life in the city. Or you might gear your everyday carry toward no place in particular and instead for the flexibility that travel requires. In which case, you’ve come to the right place indeed.

Code of Bell X-Pod

Sling bags have recently been drawing devotees from the fashion world, but they aren’t just a style statement; they’re practical, too. That’s particularly true for travel — when a backpack is overkill for a day spent wandering a foreign city, you still need something to tote around an extra layer, water and a camera (as well as the other items on this list). Code of Bell’s X-Pod is perfect for the task thanks to a sleek look and expanding construction that accommodates more than you’d think.

The James Brand Stilwell

Sure, most pens are small enough to travel well, but Stilwell does so with determined style. Closed, this pen is 3.5 inches long and fits into the coin pocket of your jeans . Open, it’s cap extends the utensil’s length to fit comfortably in hand, even during long bouts of journaling. As a bonus, the Stilwell uses a replaceable D1 ink cartridge that’s easy to find around the world.

Moleskine Voyageur Notebook

While any bound stack of paper might serve as a place to jot down impressions from the road, Moleskine outfitted its Voyageur Notebook specifically for travel. It has pages, lined and blank, for drawings and thoughts, but it also contains sections for planning days and budgets as well as need-to-know information, such as time zones, area codes and how to get in touch with local police.

HydraPak Stow

The Stow uses a flexible construction that keeps it lightweight and remarkably packable.

Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes

After a full day in transit or hours spent on a hiking trail or around town, a fresh-feeling face makes for a simple yet wondrous morale boost. Stash some of these wipes in your carry-on and day bag, so you always have one at the ready.

Leatherman Free T4

A road trip through Europe inspired Tim Leatherman to create the original multi-tool, but the newer Swiss Army-like Free T4 is ideal for everyday travelers. Its compact form employs magnets to permit one-handed deployment of a knife, scissors, bottle opener, screwdriver, tweezers and more. Needless to say, don’t stash this one in your carry-on.

Bellroy Coin Fold

Coins still count as meaningful currency in most countries, so it’s smart to carry a wallet that keeps them safe in one place. Take Bellroy’s Coin Fold, which might be a standard billfold if it weren’t for its smartly-designed coin pouch. (The wallet also has a slot for a SIM card, should you need to swap your phone to a local carrier.)

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
