The LOCHBY Venture Pouch is one of my favorite pouches I've discovered in 2025. I wanted to give you a quick overview of it and some of the things that I carry.

Watch the full video for everything shown on camera.

Short answer: it is best for carrying stationery and tech in one pouch. Skip it if you want every cable held in its own pocket on the side where the tech goes.

Side	What I carry	Main tradeoff
Stationery side	Tombow brush pens, Microns, a Muji 0.38 gel pen, a brush pen	Changes as my tools change
Tech side	Power bank, cables, flashlight, headphones, an SSD, a slim charger, small essentials	Loose cables bunch together

The stationery side

A few months ago I did a quick video of what I carry on this side of the pouch, which is all my stationery stuff. I've switched a few things around.

Now I have some brush Tombows. Green, yellow, red, and blue, some of the colors I use for color coding and all that stuff.

A different color pen, if you will, for different things, sometimes planning with my wife and some things like that.

Some Microns for sketches. These are my favorite for sketches or anything that I need to draw on paper and carry with me.

A super fine tip 0.38 Muji gel pen. This thing writes amazingly and the fine tip really makes the writing super, super neat.

And lastly, a brush pen for lettering anything that may require a thicker line. This comes in handy quite a bit.

So a few things have changed since the last video, but a lot of the things are going to stay the same on this side of the pouch.

Best for color coding, sketching, and fine writing in one place.

The tech side

I haven't shown you what's on the other side yet. Because this is what unlocked the LOCHBY Venture Pouch for me.

Being able to carry stationery, pens, and whatnot on the one side, and all the tech that I've been needing on the other side.

So here's what's in my Venture Pouch, tech edition, if you will.

I have the power bank. This thing is amazing, has a couple cables built in, Apple Watch charger, phone charger.

I'm able to charge multiple things all at once.

On this side I have a few cables. They're going to tangle.

The one thing I would change

One of the things I wished for, maybe in a V2 of the venture pouch in the future, is some additional pockets on this side that I can stick cables and little things in.

They don't have to be anything too big. It could just be some mesh on this side.

Cables on that side, they're just going to bunch all together.

Skip it if loose cables bother you. In my setup the tech fits, but the cables bunch together.

The small things I keep with the tech

I always carry with me a rosary or two, so I carry them in a little pouch. Sanitizing wipes, Clorox wipes, cleaning things with little kits.

Nail clipper for whenever that's needed.

I carry with me also an Olight flashlight. This one is in the green. I really love green if you couldn't tell.

I love that it has a magnet built in so I'm able to attach it to things, hang it from different stuff, and have some great illumination when I need to.

Some wired headphones, some adapters for cables, a few more trinkets, a finger rosary and a coin for fun.

Storage and charging

A Samsung SSD. This is where I edit a lot of the videos that you see on this channel, as well as some of the podcasts that I record with one of my friends, so really useful.

I love having this thing.

The last thing is a UGREEN charger. I love how slim it is.

The prong is going to fold back, and it has enough juice to power a MacBook.

I personally have an iPad and it charges it flawlessly.

Best for a compact charging kit: one power bank that charges several things at once, and a slim folding charger.
