THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the vlog, and welcome back to my bathroom. We... we've been in here a few times too many, I think. But is your handle on your PVC window broken? 

Is it... does it just not move? Is it not working, even if you press the button in? The handle on the PVC window doesn't open? I think I've got a solution for this. I'm going to do this for the first time in real time so you can follow along with me. We try new things every day to make your family happy, and the thing I'm trying today to make my family happy is to... is to open the crucial bathroom window because Daddy... Daddy might change the smell in here from time to time, and if they can't let it out the window, I... I think we will have breathing difficulties. 

Come on, Cohagen! You got what you want!

Give these people AIR! 

I... I've tried WD40. It doesn't work. Uh, basically, you push the button in, and for some reason, the catch doesn't... doesn't turn. And I know that it's not locked, because the button does go in and out, and it... you can lock it, and the button doesn't move. 

Let me show you how this handle works when it works. 

Let's go to my son's bedroom, and this will help you to do this technique that I'm about to show you.

But here we have... obviously, the handle is on a different orientation, but if I press the button and open it, it opens. And can you see inside? There is that catch there.

So when it's working, you push the button in, and the catch releases, and that catch sits inside this kind of square metal block here. 

So when you close the window, the catch lifts itself up because it's got that kind of, uh, slide on it, and that's going to be crucial for our technique. 

And then when you close it, it should click into place, and the click is the... the plastic button sitting in that metal kind of window.

That's... that metal bed. So if I press the button again, obviously, it opens.

So what we need to do is to get something inside that to lift that plastic catch.

Now, what I'm going to use is my Post Office travel money card, which was really good—it really works! 

You can just load it up with money, but we're going to try it for this. 

Now, I did try it with cardboard because I thought the gap would be too thin. 

But a... a... a credit card or piece of plastic should be able to get in. 

What we're going to do—can I get in closer?—so I'll try and get you as close as possible. 

I'm going to slide the corner all... all the way in so that hopefully it pushes the catch up. 

And obviously, you need to make it all the way through the... the... the handle. 

And now you can just turn the handle! Ta-daa! 

My family can breathe again!

Give these people AIR! 

But now what we've got to do is replace the handle because obviously, if you click it... oh no! 

We're going to push this open again like that—open it goes. We're going to... 

Sorry, I'm just straddling the... the nice bamboo shelf in the bath. 

We are going to pry off this cap with a very sharp flathead screwdriver, and underneath—hopefully that hasn't fallen down the... the plug hole—but underneath you have a... a screw there and a screw there, which obviously you can't get to if the handle is... is locked. 

So use the card to open it, and then we're going to unscrew these two screws. 

This might be one step beyond your DIY, but bear with me, I think this is going to be straightforward and easy.

We're going to undo... I've got my, uh, my trusty Ikea screwdriver as well, and we're going to take out these two screws, and it should just pull out like this. So there's the spindle in there that turns the lock in there—oh—yeah, obviously, I should... I should probably have opened the window first thing on it. 

I didn't want to lose the screws out of the window. 

You can open the window.

Now I'm going to look online on Amazon to see if I can find a new PVC window handle.

It is now one day later, and finally, my PVC window handle has arrived from Amazon.

I'll leave a link down in the description for a search to get you to the same kind of handles.

You can also get these in DIY superstores. I'm just being lazy, but you can get these in pairs or in greater numbers, so you might get a better deal. I've gone for two because I'm pretty sure this is going to happen again sometime. 

This is the old handle, and this is the new handle, and can you see? The... I have to move my face. Can you see that the... the spindle size is different? So what I'm going to do, I think, is see if I can take this out. Oh, you can't—you can't take it out. Oh no. I am really hoping that this works and that this isn't too long for the hole. By the way, if your handle is broken and you've got the handle off and you still can't unlock the window, you can use this section here to turn the lock that's actually inside the window. 

Let's use the old one to close the window, just pull it to. 

Fingers crossed. I'll bring the camera closer now, we'll see if this will actually fit and if it'll actually work. So I'm going to put that square peg into the round hole... 

But there is a square hole in there, and... oh, only just, only just. You can see that there's a bit of a gap. Don't know what I'm going to do about that. 

I have tried with some pliers, and I cannot get this to budge at all. It just won't come out. You are going to have to find a hacksaw to... to bring down that length. 

Ah, it's... it's never easy! Do I... do I... do I bother? 

Do I bother?

Let's just do it for the video. 

I'm going to mark roughly the length of the other one onto the new one. I think it's only a little bit over, so I don't actually have to take that much off. I am just using a junior hacksaw for this.

And I hate sawing metal—partly because it's so hard and takes a long time, but also because these metal shavings that come off, the splinters aren't great to have on the floor while we walk around with no shoes on. 

This takes a lot of work.

I... I've sped this up. I started off with bits of wood between the clamp and the handle to protect the white coating on the handle, and then in the end, it was so much faff, I gave up and just put the clamp on directly just to hold it in place so I could get maximum sawing in.

In the end, I have to use some pliers to snap it off. Hey, got it! So now it should be the right size. 

Back in the bathroom, and pretty much for the same reason... for the same reason, the new handle comes with new screws, but they're longer, so I don't want to chance it. 

I'm going to use the old screws to put the new handle in place, and we'll put the square peg into the square hole inside there—that's the actual lock. 

And you can see now that the handle is now flush with the window. 

Kind of worth the sawing!

And now I'll put the old screw in, and then I can open it—oh no, no! You're kidding me. You are kidding me. Oh, look... 

Okay, I thought I'd broken it, so I've put it on the wrong way. Now I can open it, yes! [Music] 

And finally, you can cover up the screws with these caps. 

Let's try this again. We'll test it—window opens, window closes, handle locks. 

I'm calling this a Dad Delivers success!

yeah now there's a oh...

I've run out of track! 

Ow!

frottage! 

Come on you want to see this don't you, so uh let's find the remote control. 

I've got it paired up

so I'll just take it back and this is for running it through the the tunnel

oh and my son shot this so he he built the track and he shot this footage of the train making it through the tunnel 

He had to take the pantograph off the the top

I've adjusted the tunnel 

I think the tunnel slipped when I pushed the armchair back so uh I've adjusted it now 

hopefully it won't hit the ceiling

let's see if it makes it through the armchair 

go on, away you go

yeah 

let's go backwards full speed 

okay I think... the Tunnel of Love is a success!

I don't know why I'm calling it The Tunnel of Love 

I love it that's why!

there great we've done it 

that's the loop

remote control here 

see if we can make history

we'll see if we can make the train go around 

I'll put it on four and hopefully it won't hit a cable or something 

oh no ah!

I can move these cables and I'll pin them as well 

right so it's into the tunnel

it's through the tunnel 

it's going under the bench

it's so hidden I can't push the camera under! 

we're across the front door that was the first phase 

and now it's going to go under this bench

and it's going to go into the armchair tunnel 

will it make it out the other side?

yes! 

we did it!

we did it! 

I've done it!

I wish it were lit better 

I... I'll get you a... let's get a light going thing 

got a nice light there

I've done it! 

I cannot believe after all these years of thinking about this that I've finally managed to get the Lego City train tracks hidden... a hidden layout all the way around the happy hut 

it... it looks really small but it it's taken hours to try and path this layout all the way around all the cables and boxing it in

I... I just can't believe this train is doing top speed over so much fake Lego Track

the fake Lego Track - the off-brand track works and it's magnificent

and it has really got me out of a hole because this would have cost me a fortune to have done this with official Lego Track 

and even better the train runs really well over the flexi track 

over the flexible tracks - the fake flexible tracks - that's the section that has meant that I can link one end to the other and the train just Glides over it without a hitch 

I know what I need to do now: I need to get some kind of cork underlay I think 

just to help

I don't mind the noise but it would help it run more smoothly I think

and I also need to now put in some... some points I can put in some station platforms and have some pass through Loops where I could put other trains 

I can start buying trains now!

and I've got my eye on the Lego streetcar which I need to motorize

oh I can't believe it - should I make it go faster?

Let's uh I'll put it on seven here we go get remote

right just pushed it all the way up this is top speed

we are good to go 

I am calling this a dad delivers success 

thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the Subscribe button it really helps me to keep this thing going and do you know what I think there might be one or two Lego train videos coming up in the future now this is running I can't believe it's still going

What is the best water bottle for kids on Amazon? My favourite is already the ION8 range of plastic and metal bottles and travel cups - I've bought 5 with my own money. Now ION8 has sent me some of their range with the new 2.0 lids: a Stainless Steel travel mug, Recycled plastic cycling bottle, metal flask and plastic water bottle for school... I love the colours and the design and give my first impressions reviews of the new range.

Best WATER BOTTLES on Amazon?! ION8 first impressions reviews and unboxing...



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel, and this is a really special day for the channel. Take a look at this! I have never, ever been sent anything from a company for the channel, and the good people at ion8 water bottles have sent me these. I... I am really into water bottles. They are such a crucial part of our day-to-day family life. That sounds a bit overblown, but it's true. I mean, they... they need a water bottle every day, I need a water bottle, and I actually made a video about the ion8 bottle from Amazon because I was a big fan. It didn't taste plasticky, you didn't have the usual ends, and the lid is fantastic. And I've been using this ion8 water bottle pretty much daily for about 3 years. And I don't know if you can see—if I go close—the lid is marvelous, but the clip on the back, over time, wear and tear, just being smashed around daily, um, has kind of, uh, given up. But the lid still works. The timing could not be more perfect. So thank you, ion8. You... I salute your... your reaching out. Let's see what's in the box. This is really exciting!

The first bottle in the box isn't a water bottle. It is an insulated steel, uh, reusable coffee cup. And the reason ion8 got in touch with me is because they have new clips at the top, new lids. Uh, so there's a brand new design. And on this blue bottle, you can see that the handle—the clip—is recessed into the lid, which is a really nice touch. The second new feature I've noticed is that the button that pops open the lid is lockable. So if you push the button up, it locks it in place, which is handy. And then on top of that, you've got the ion8 clip that also stops the lid from flying up. So you've got two fail-safe systems there—two layers of protection. And inside the lid, uh, you can see there's a really, uh, generous sipping hole. I don't... what do you call it—a hole that you drink from? And also an air hole, so that, uh, you can drink unimpeded.

Let's take the lid off. Just unscrew the lid. It comes, obviously, with a bit of, uh, silica gel. You can see it's insulated steel, so there's a steel inner inside the bottle to keep your coffee, or hot drink, or cold drink hot or cold. This travel mug also has fantastic grip around the outside. It's like a rubberized grip, and we have that rubberized edging along the lid at the top. So, really stylish, and obviously, it comes in a range of colors. It is 360 ml, which is 12 oz in the US of A and elsewhere. Should we see how it pours? So, in goes the third of a liter, and here's the shake test. This is with no triple-lock protection on. Here we go. If I open it and give it a pour... so that's the kind of flow—whoa—that's the kind of flow you get with the coffee, the insulated steel travel mug.

Let's see what's next in the box. What should we go for? Let's go for this—ooh—this is a green, really nice green Recyle bottle. It's called Recyle because it's a transparent, carbon-neutral plastic, partly made from plants. So, we have some grooves on the side for grip, and you have the water quantity measures on the side there. So, you can actually follow how much water you're drinking in a day. The lid is the new feature lid. It has got a name—I'll put it on screen now—for their new technology, their new LIF lid technology. But we've got the recessed carry handle, which is really nice. Also, the triple-lock, uh... lock, what would you call it? I don't know. I'm like... I'm like the iJustine for water bottles. I really like... I like this role!

So we've got the triple lock, which means you can slide the button up, and you can flip the loop up to stop the lid flying off when you least want it to. And it's a plain water bottle. It's a really nice design on the water spout, and, uh, an air hole to... to let that in. And in the lid, we've got these kind of rubberized grommets that basically keep the holes covered up and keep... keep it watertight. What I really love about these water bottles is... I just... oh, we just went through so many water bottles where the kids would chew the end—I would chew the end—of the nozzle, and over time, you just get those little micro bits of plastic in your mouth. That's... that's not good, is it? With these, because it has a... a different kind of plastic, it's not chewable, but it's... you know, it's a... it's a really great water spout. That is way more than I thought I'd be talking about water spouts today!

If we open it up, you can see the lid twists off. And let me show you inside the lid. All the lids are like this. There's like a... I don't know the word for this—is it a rubber gasket? Well, it's not rubber, but there's a gasket in place to keep the waterproofing in place when you do the lid up. So, that's really handy. Let's do the P test. So I don't know if I'll pour in wa... this is 24 oz, which is 750 ml, so 3/4s of—oh no—I left the, um, the moisture sachet in. Wow, this is a... a lot of water, which is good. I mean, this is pretty much what I should be drinking. Uh, so I flip the lid, and we'll do a PO test. And let's do a... a shake test. Completely leak-free. I've got some bits from where I've mispoured it. Let's put the lock on. Triple lock on there—that'll be good in a school bag. I really like the size of this. 750 ml is pretty much what I should be drinking in a day, and a really nice design, really comfortable to hold. I think I'm going to treasure this one. I'm going to have this one for myself, I think.

Let's look at the next... the next one in the box. This is a stainless steel... oh, this is a beast! This is a canteen. This is a 40 oz—that's 1.2 L—stainless steel, leak-proof water bottle. The thing with this is it actually feels quite light for something that's stainless steel. So, we have the triple lock lid and integrated carry handle that fits into the recessed section for it in the lid. And if I open this up, you can see it is pure stainless steel inside. And like the other ion8 bottles, it is dishwasher safe, which is handy. They're easy to clean, and they don't keep any smell, or odor, or flavor. That said, I've not encountered that with the other plastic bottles, but it's even more the case with a metal bottle. I... I can fit this in my rucksack. So, it's... it's a stretch, but I can fit it on the... the side pouch of my backpack.

Let's do the spill test, and this feels really heavy when it's filled up. This is like 1.2 kg. Better not drop it on my head. Nice spill—fantastic! And that's without even putting on the triple lock on the lid. And it pours like this. We... we could be here for some time because there is a lot of drink in here. Uh, I also love the... the... the shape of the spout. It means you can get it at just the right angle without the water pouring out of the air hole on the top. Um, I think... I think you've got the... the gist of this now.

The next bottle is—wow—this is quite a striking blue. It's a leak-proof, slim water bottle, vacuum-insulated, so it's got double walls. It's made of stainless steel. We have the... the... the ion8 cap that you've become familiar with now from the other bottles. So, it's got the triple lock, and it's also got the recessed carry handle. This bottle does feel a lot slimmer than the others, so this might be good for maybe on a bike—you know, to put it in your bike rack or the side pocket of your rucksack or backpack. And if we open up the lid, you can see that's, uh, super clean, really nice brushed metal there. ThermoShield—it's called Prograde ThermoShield stainless steel. It's extremely durable, lasts for years, and is carbon neutral and fully recyclable. This refillable and reusable drinks bottle is food safe, odor resistant, and easy to hand wash. It protects the temperature for hours and keeps drinks fresh and full of flavor. There—you wouldn't have guessed that I just read that from their website!

Let's do the... the shake test, and we'll do a little pour demonstration. I love the spouts on these—they're really satisfying. Hey, I don't know if, um, ion8 sent me some other things as well. They also sell accessories. So, we have a wrist strap, which I guess is designed to fit the ion8 bottles specifically. Let's have a look. Okay, so it's like a rub... a like a wristband with a nice fetching embossed ion8 logo there and, I guess, a loop to fix it to the bottle. Let's try and put one on. I don't know how quickly I can do this, but in the bottle lid, can you see there's a special carry handle hole there? So if I put this through, I think if you feed the... the strap through the cable like this, it then fixes the wrist strap to the bottle. There! That looks really fetching, doesn't it? Look at that!

Oh, there's also this straw, which is designed specifically for the 500, 600, and 750 ml bottles. Let me show you. It's got a special screw attachment at the top, and this is designed to fit the... the water spout exactly. Now, you just push it in at that, and then you can fit that on the bottle. The straw appears here, which means that when you're drinking, you kind of... you can suck on the water spout. So it's like a giant sippy cup, which I... I kind of like the thought of.

I am calling this a Dad Delivers success! I really like these water bottles already. I bought this one with my own money, and now it has a wrist strap, which is kind of cool. Thank you, ion8, and thank you for being the first company to send me stuff. Thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the subscribe button—it really helps us to keep this channel going. So thank you, and right here is what YouTube knows you are going to love watching next!

My best first CAMERA BAG on Amazon! Pgytech Onemo 25L Backpack unboxing and first impressions review

Why I chose this as my first ever camera bag from Amazon: the PGYTECH Onemo 25L backpack. I'm trading in my bag that piles all my gear on top of each other for this stylish Olivine camoflage backpack.

I'm planning on using this rucksack for my small gear: Sony ZV-1 camera, Lacie hard drives, DJI Action 2 camera and DJI Mic wireless microphone system. I'm also using the bag's extendible section for my Macbook Pro, bulky notepads and scripts. 

It's fantastic, and here's my unboxing first impressions review.

My best first CAMERA BAG on Amazon! Pgytech Onemo 25L Backpack unboxing and first impressions review



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is my unboxing first impressions of the PGYTECH OneMo camera bag, camera backpack, and oh my goodness, this is a big moment for me. I wanted to capture it on camera because I have never bought a camera bag before or backpack for a number of reasons. Firstly, cost. Spending that amount of money on a backpack does feel slightly alien to me, so this is a new experience. But also because I share how I make videos here on YouTube, and I'm not really into that Peter McKinnon, Matti Haapoja Gerald Undone world of cameras. I just, you know, appreciate them, but I've never been into the big cameras with the interchangeable lenses. I know you might feel differently, and this is why you're getting a backpack, but I like my small cameras. But I did need a camera backpack that doesn't just pile everything on top of each other. I've got a lovely rucksack—well, I had a beautiful rucksack, but the zip broke. So then I bought a quite expensive, for me, rucksack, and this rucksack is gorgeous. I love the look of it. I love the build quality and the quality of the zips, but it just means I heap everything into the bag. My bag is just a heap of stuff, which is not good for the equipment. So I ordered this, the PGYTECH OneMo backpack, and look how it comes out of the package. Look at this. So this is what you get when you spend a bit more money on your rucksacks—a new experience for me.

And look, do I have to say this again? But I bought this with my own money. It's on offer at the moment because there's a new model, the OneMo 2. I'm way behind in reviewing this, but it might be an option if you're thinking of stepping into the world of camera backpacks. And wow, would you look at this for an unboxing experience. Look at it, it's gorgeous. I have to now undo the stitching on the top of this paper bag. Oh, that was a lovely few moments though, wasn't it? Let's take this off, so I get rid of that, move that there. This is how it comes out of the bag, and so we've got nice paper packaging, but there is the reassuring plastic packaging here. And I've gone for the olivine camo, or I think it's called olivine camo, olivine camo. When I was checking this out online, I didn't know how this would look. It's the only thing I see you. I like my bags to be slightly plain, and having this kind of Star Trek logo, uh, stitching on it, paneling on it, didn't quite sit comfortably with my wanting to keep things down on the down low. But in real life, it looks really stylish, and with the olivine—or olivine, is it? I call it olivine camo—these pouch edges kind of blend in really, really nicely, and they're magnetic, so you can put things in there. So I can put my knife, my steak knife in there.

The reason I wanted this is the side access. I really miss just being able to reach into the side without having to open everything up or having everything piled on top of each other. So let's open up. This is the first pouch, and there's an RFID-protected zipper pouch here actually in the flap. And I can, like, you can put all kinds of small things there. I'm missing that from my current rucksack, so this is a huge addition. The only thing I'm scared of, having spent my own money on this, is that there are a few reviews that said that the zips have failed, which isn't a good look because obviously, as soon as one zip fails, the bag is pretty much cut. But we've also got these anti-theft loops so that you can just delay anyone wanting to just unzip your bag very quickly while you're out and about. That loop will slow them down. And then there's the bottom pouch here, and we have three battery holders. I don't use batteries, but I'm sure I'll use these for something because I carry a lot of gear around with me.

And inside, let me put it out here. I should open it all up, shouldn't I? Show you what it looks like. But I just wanted to go for the pouches first. There's an olivine camo shoulder bag. Let's open up the shoulder bag and see what's inside. And we have a shoulder strap for the shoulder bag, and that is adjustable, but obviously, it does slide around. This hook goes over this hook, I guess. Tell me in the comments if I'm wrong, but that looks like the strap for the bag fitted. And then inside we have, oh, there's a pouch on the top, so you can store things in there, which is really handy. Acres of room in here. It's another pouch for more gear, and inside we have these adjustable Velcro panels, the dividers that divide up the bag for you. The Velcro or the hook and loop strips are on the side there, so you can configure this whichever way you want. This one has a little shelf so you can have an upper and lower level. There's a really handy handle on the side here, so you can carry it hand-carry it without the shoulder strap. Let's put that back into the OneMo backpack. So this can just slide into the side pouch or the side panel of the backpack. It goes in like that, really snug. What I love already, just first impressions, is the handle on top, which I'll use a lot, but there is also a handle on the side. I haven't seen that on any reviews that I've watched, and I've watched a lot of them, but there is a side handle in case you want one of those, and it blends in really nicely.

The shoulder straps tuck into two pockets here, so you can pull them out. This is going to be a game-changer for me because I leave this on the floor of the living room every night when I bring all my gear down from the happy hut back to the house, and they just flail all over the floor. Dog treads on them, everyone trips up on them. You can just tuck these in, and there's a chest strap for when you're really running for the train. For me, that would be really helpful. But there's also a pouch here, a zippered pocket with really nice lining. I love the colour of it. I'm not into army military-looking stuff, and this doesn't look too, uh, GI Joe. It's just a really tasteful dark green. On the other side, there's elasticated straps for putting, uh, lens caps. Again, I don't really use them, but that might be useful for tucking something in. Plus, do you know what? I really want to wear my Action 2, my DJI Action 2 camera. I've always tried to find a way of attaching it to a shoulder strap, and I think this might be the one where I'll be able to do that. So while I'm walking around, I can film my journeys.

This is the front section that expands. Wow, this really is first impressions. So it looks like that for extra room. And inside this pocket, there's, uh, elasticated—wow, this is elasticated—that can hold gear in place. I'll be using that for stuffing coats and things in, I think. So the main section, I really wanted to be able to slip my laptop in and out, so you can open it partially and tuck your laptop or tablet in there. I'll put my exercise book as well. I do some handwriting, and that section is subdivided as well. Don't know if you can see inside. This is the moment you're wanting to get to, I'm sure. Here it is opened up, and straight out of the box we've got, uh, a sticker. I think it's a PGYTech sticker, and it already comes with the two halves divided, which is lovely. I won't be changing that. That is one key feature of the bag for me. I think I'm going to be using the bag for other things, so I'm going to take out the shoulder bag. Much though I love it, this is going to be so good for keeping my headphones, my wireless mic, my camera, and all the leads that I need. I wasn't, on the videos I've watched, I wasn't too impressed by the way this kind of looks like it was saggy or not put in very well, but actually, I kind of like how it means that this door here, this flap here opens, and there's like a really nice tall section here, so that might work for when I, you know, go out with my ZV1. I have a wide lens attached to my Sony ZV-1 or ZV1, so that's going to be really nice. Just grab and go from the side there.

And we've got all these compartments. We have extra straps, and they're really nicely labeled. Let me show you what comes out of the box. This looks like there are two dividers. Actually, it's just one where that opens up like this, so you can double-tier this compartment. And then there's another loose compartment here, and again, that folds down into a shelf. And then put that here just for a demonstration. That is going to be so good for carrying gear around. You see the rain is falling. Going to test this waterproofness. Let's zip it up. Finally, just on this first impressions explore, just show you underneath. This has got a hard-wearing—it's almost like a rubberized bottom. Don't we all like a rubberized bottom? There we go. And it stands up fresh out of the box. Who knows if it'll do that when it's full of my gear?

And we've got a strap that opens up here. I guess you can use that on luggage. Yeah, this is really nice. Now the big test for me, because I'm really going to use this, I'm not going to put tripods in here so often, but what I will use is my half-litre water bottle. So I've got a giant water bottle, and that goes in super easily. I've not seen this on other videos. This is how it does it. There's an elasticated strap here, an elastic strap. I didn't quite know how this works, so it's lovely to see it in real life. So that will hold the water bottle in place. Absolutely amazing.

I've not opened this side panel. Let's open this up for you. There's an elastic pouch here, or strap for holding cables or other bits of gear. Another zip and another pocket. Well, I don't know if you find this, but you know I carry other things like hand sanitizer and tissues, all of that gear, uh, pens, pencils, Sharpie markers. They can all go in there. At the moment, they just pile into the bottom of my rucksack, so it's so good to have them, give them a home.

I was really, really wary of spending three figures on a backpack. I know this might be second nature to you. You might be in a part of the world where you can afford that quite comfortably, but for me, it's a giant leap to spend this amount of money on a rucksack. And my first impressions review is this is a hit. I absolutely love how this looks. It feels really well-made, and it doesn't really come across either on the PGYTech website or on Amazon. The pictures really don't do it justice. It is really smart looking. The edging on the zips look really waterproof. It's raining now, just throw some water on. Oh, welcome the bag. This is me on the train. Oh no, spilled my coffee, and it just looks really, really waterproof. There's more space down the back behind this pocket. One of the labels is actually the instructions, so I'll give you a quick, uh, squiz through these. It shows you all the different things, things to do, and how to fit those waist straps and equipment straps so you can have different combinations for your gear.

I think I found the rain cover. There's a Velcro section here. There's another pocket, another pouch. Here's the rain cover. Now I need to get this on. I don't know if it's showing up, but the rain is starting to get gradually heavier. But there's this amazing rain bag that fits perfectly. I've never had a rucksack that has been properly waterproof. That is so good. I should wear it, shouldn't I?

The big takeaways for me, the big pros with the OneMo backpack, is just being able to tuck the straps, the rucksack straps, into these pouches at the back is going to be heaven for me. And the other huge things for me are the side access panels, those doors, to just be able to grab pieces of equipment as and when are going to be crucial. And easy access to slip my notebook, my exercise books, and my laptop into the back just from the top is that I'm just going to be using that the most, I think. So wearing it for the first time, stand back. Oh my goodness, that is so comfortable. I know it's empty. I can adjust these exactly how I want them. It does feel really good. It just feels so comfortable. You can pull these straps down to tighten the arm straps there. And this is pretty much the same size as my standard rucksack, so it's not too big, but it does expand at the front. If I did need to put heavy coats or big items on there, I know that I can strap them on and carry them really easily. Oh, that feels really good.

Best mobile phone power bank battery on Amazon?

This is my new favourite portable budget power bank: the MAXVOL 4 Multi Cable in one 10000 mAh 22.5w Slimmest Fast Charging with USB-A, USB-C Input and Output plus Lightning and Micro-USB cables. I'm not so sure this is the thinnest battery power packs for my phone but it's a fantastic power bank.

Why this POWER BANK is my best budget phone battery on Amazon! Maxvol 4 cables-in-one...



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is going to be a quick video because I am looking for the ultimate power bank. I need a battery for my phone, maybe to top up the laptop as well, but just some kind of charger when I'm out and about. I'm looking for something that's small in size, in physical size, but big in storage and small in weight, but something that has cables built into it because I always grab the power bank and never have the right cable. So I'm hoping this is the solution. This is the Maxvol Hyper Fast Charging. What model number is it? It's the Power Bank MVP1. Ultra slim, ultra powerful. I love how on the Amazon page they had that word—is it thinnest?—that caught my attention because I need something that isn't too huge. Judging by the packaging, this isn't the smallest thing, but let's unbox it. This is just an unboxing, first impressions review. This could be the power bank we're after.

So I bought this on Amazon. It was about $20 or £17 here in the UK, and this is how it comes straight out of the box. It's slightly bigger than the power banks, the cheap power banks, I've been using, but this feels quite premium. It's nice glossy plastic. These are the power banks I've been using. I bought it in a supermarket. It is, uh, 6,000 mAh and has the cables built in, but it's so old now that it's a micro USB. I needed something with USB-C, and look, just compare it with this. This is 10,000 milliamp hours, and I'll, uh, have the satisfying removal of the film. But the thing that captured my attention with this is the built-in different cables. So I have a lightning cable, which is really handy with my daughter's devices. We got micro USB, USB-C, with a nice, uh, flash of purple inside there, and this is an odd-looking square, but this should fit into a regular USB socket. Trying to think of the word for it. It's just a USB port jack. The cables are about 15 cm long, or as big as my hand, um, so I guess I could just hold my phone next to it and plug it in. Should we go for it? Should we just do it?

I've read comments on the Amazon page, reviews that say it comes fully charged. So press the button to see what happens. Power switch is on the side here. Wa, it's on 93%, and is that a light? We'll see. And we've got some other ports here—a USB port, a micro USB port, and a USB-C port there. It's really sleek, and to tuck the cables back, you just squeeze the cable into the groove. They go back really easily. That's really smart, that's great stuff. Right, let's plug it into my phone and see if it works. So I'll probably hold it that way and just plug the jack in. There we go, it's charging, and it looks like it's charging fast. So that's good. Not super fast, but fast. So I will charge my Samsung S20 in about an hour from 19%, so that's pretty good, isn't it? But it's really sleek. I mean, it's glossy, glossy black, so I'm not sure this is—I think this is not going to stay scratch-free for long in my bag, the way I treat my power banks, but this is definitely a massive step up for me. On the display, there's a little green sort of, uh, lightning flash, which I guess shows it's being discharged. Hey, I wonder what would happen if I charge—if I plug this into this? We might see if this charges up. So I'll unplug. So this is just first impressions. I just wanted to show you what it looked like, but let's see what would happen if I plug my power bank into here. Which way around will it go? Yep, it's charging, look at that. So the 92% is flashing. I'm sure that doesn't show up on screen because of the harsh sunlight, but this is charging up. And again, I've read the reviews on Amazon. It's, uh, it's slow to charge, but I think that's the same for all power banks. But all in all, this is a really nifty, nifty thing.

I'll just show you the capacity here and the instruction leaflet, welcome guide, as Maxvol call it. I'll just show you these so you can see how the thing works. To charge the power bank, you can have hyper fast charge. Uh, you need the cable plugged into it to be hyper fast. The other way to charge the power bank is to use a type-C to type-C port, so that would go into here, or you can use the built-in USB-A connector—that was the word I was looking for—so you can charge this from either a charging brick or, I guess, from a laptop or other device, maybe a computer, and it charges through there. Also, I've only discovered this later, but if you press the power button and hold it down, this LED light comes up, so it's got a little torch on, which in the sunshine probably doesn't look that powerful, but that could be quite handy if I ever need a torch when I'm out with my power bank. To turn it off, you just hold the power button down again. I'll also put a link in the description if I hit any problems or if there are any other details that I encounter during the first month of use. I'll put those, all of those, down in the description. I think this could be the power bank I've been looking for. Thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the subscribe button. It really helps me to keep this channel going. I do appreciate it.

How do you cancel your Amazon Prime membership subscription? It's really easy! I share step-by-step how to cancel Amazon Prime Video and all the other Amazon Prime membership to end the Amazon Prime Free Trial or just the regular Prime subscription payments.

How to CANCEL AMAZON PRIME membership subscription



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Woah it's sunny today. Hello, how do you cancel your Amazon Prime subscription? Maybe like me, your free Amazon trial, your one-month trial is coming to an end, or maybe Amazon is just putting the price of Prime up again. Whatever the reason, this is the Dad Delivers Vlog, and the new thing I'm trying today is to cancel our Amazon Prime membership. We've got so many subscriptions. Let's do this right now. You can follow along with me. I'll put my phone app up on the screen.

This is the Amazon shopping app, and we are on the homepage of the app. But in the bottom right-hand corner down here, can you see this stack of pancakes or some people call it a little hamburger icon? Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments. But we're going to click on that. That opens up this menu of buttons, and we're going to scroll all the way down to here, down to 'Your Stuff,' and that opens another menu list of items, so we'll click on this. You're watching this in the future, so your app might look a bit different, but here are the basic principles.

We're going to scroll down to the sub-menu of account settings, and can you see here it says 'Prime Membership'? I'm going to click on that, and just in the nick of time, under here, can you see it says 'one days left of my trial'? So let's see if we can cancel this subscription before that one day. I'm going to click on 'Manage Membership,' and that opens up these options down here. Can you see there's another label for 'Manage Membership'? I'll click on that one.

And we have two options. I can either share my benefits with other people in the household, or the button I want is right here, 'End Membership.' I have a feeling that Amazon are going to try a few times to get me to stop cancelling the Amazon Prime, and right here, 'We'd hate for you to miss out on your unlimited premium delivery. I don't want to use my benefits today. I want to not keep membership. I'm going to continue to cancel.

Please confirm your Prime Membership cancellation. I'll just scroll down to see these terms and conditions, and underneath it says 'end on 7th of October,' which is the date I'm recording it. And there we go. I think we've done this. The sun's gone in, and everything's gone dark. It tells me all the things that I'm going to miss out on now from cancelling Amazon Prime, and there is a button here to continue my membership, but it looks as if we have successfully cancelled our Amazon Prime membership.

I've got a link in the description to another video for how to do this using just a desktop computer. The sun has come out again. Thank you so much for hitting the thumbs up or the Subscribe button if this helps you, and say hi in the comments. It'd be great to hear from you. And right here is what YouTube knows that you are going to love watching next.

Best pink football boots soccer shoes for girls on Amazon

Why sports stores hate pink football boots.

Which are the best budget pink football boots for girls on Amazon? I review 3 pairs of pink football books in this unboxing, and also share how and why it's difficult to find pink football boots in Sports stores in the UK. I help my Lioness girl get her pink football boots as my tiny contribution to Women's Football.

Why pink football boots are hard... and how I solve it.



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. This seems like a Daft video to make, but I can't find pink football boots for my daughter. Can't find them anywhere in any of the regular sports stores here in the UK. So I've gone nuts on Amazon, and I've bought three random pairs of pink football boots, and I'm gonna unbox them for you right here, right now in real time. And then maybe I'll get my daughter to choose the pink football boots she wants.

Now, I've got to stress at this point, this is her choice. This is nothing to do with me. I need to make this clear because there are people in the world tweeting things like this, where pink football boots are seen as some kind of thing that women should not be wearing because I don't know, it's reinforcing some stereotypes. But here's the thing, my daughter likes pink and she wants some pink football boots. She plays football every Saturday and she's really good. She plays for the town's football team. She's... she's really good. Not that ability should come into this, but she just wants some pink football boots. I don't think that's unreasonable.

But Adidas and Nike and Sports Direct and JD Sports and all the other companies that seem to profit from kids playing sports, they don't want to go anywhere near pink football boots. So their range is... it's... they're really super clear about this, that they keep saying it's unisex. They're all unisex. But it just so happens that the unisex designs are all a bit, how can I put it, appealing to perhaps people born biologically as boys. And obviously to even hint that a girl might want pink football boots, it would just make everyone's head explode.

So I couldn't find them in the shops, which is a shame because that's where you can try on the football boots and see if it's the right size, the right shape. Amazon has come to the rescue for me. I've just gone on a shopping spree. I love the word spree. The word spree is either linked to something really terrible or shopping. I don't think it's an unreasonable request from my football-playing daughter to have pink boots. I mean, look, this is the England International Football squad , the women's football team. I see pink boots. I also see a really big pink shirt there as well. You're not supposed to do that. Who's going to tell Lauren James that she shouldn't be wearing pink boots? Not me. I support your choice. And I'm trying to help out my daughter with her choice.

It was footy pops, it was for a cartoon about puppies, and a female character just happened to be wearing pink boots. But my football-playing daughter likes pink boots. So what's the problem with her right to choose pink boots? Makes no sense. 

People just like to argue. Anyway, so I've got... I've got three choices here. Let me open them up quickly. Now I'm going to try and put these down in the description. But obviously, where you're watching this and you're watching this in the future, you might not be able to access these exact boots. So I'll put a generic search, it's the exact same search that I did to throw up these boots. And I'll also... I'll put links to these specific boots just in case they are available.

So we've got three choices. Now, one comes in a box, that's good. One comes in a bag, that's reassuring. I want a pair of these. And then there's finally this anonymous bag. Should we open it? This is where Amazon absolutely trounces JD Sports and Sports Direct. Why don't you do pink football boots? First up in the box. Let's open the box first because they're all mysterious. Oh, these look nice.

So these are the Dream Pairs football boots. I'm hoping this is size five. Now I can't really commentate on these. Football commentary would be good, wouldn't it? Let me just show you the studs. The studs aren't removable, but it claims to have a supportive heel and breathable mesh lining, and high grip TPU cleats. But I mean, they're just... they're just moulded with a durable textured upper and lace-up closure. I like... I like the lace-up. They do feel really cheap, which they are. I think it's just one notch over on the cheapness, even for my keenness to save a dollar or two. But I love how they've come in the box. So I'm gonna put them back carefully because we're going to be sending back two of these. And if you want to see how to send something back to Amazon, I've got you covered. I've got this video here all about how Amazon returns works.

 

Let's go with football boots pair number two. Now personally, obviously these football boots are not for me, but I like this colour the best. I want trainers like this. These are LEOCI, is that how you pronounce it? LEOCI kids soccer shoes in pink and black. Obviously, we call it football over here. Um, what's interesting is that both the last pair and this pair have these weird kind of nails or the kind of stud things there, and on the heel there. I don't know what that does. I really, really. I know it's not for me. I really like the colour of these, and I love that the studs, the studs are just moulded into the base. Anyway, but I love how they're black. I think they're really stylish, and they feel a bit thicker than the last pair, you know, the material on the side that is a definite contender for the cup.

The third pair, they don't come in a box or a bag, they just come in some bubble wrap, so they've probably been worn before, tried on which is understandable. These are LDTSUP... No SUP. LDTSUP. Kids soccer boots, and there's an even more intricate design with the studs here. So I like the studs, and I like how it's kind of pink and white, that looks good. Not that they’re for me again, I have to keep emphasizing this. It's got ZUQIU Sports, that kind of well-known brand on the side. So I'm not sure what the LDTSup is all about. Pink laces. But to me, I mean, these look like um, Slazenger martial arts shoes with studs on it's that kind of. So it's not they're not breathable. Um, but the flare on the side is textured, which is a nice touch, so there's some careful design here, and I love the stitching on the back. There's like extra padding on the back which might, I think, seal the deal, although all of them have it. But they don't actually have an entire panel on the back here on the heel. It says it's a soft fabric, a delicate foot feel. It's a nice kind of padding inside there. 

The other claim of LDTSup is a unique stud design, wear-resistant and non-slip. Whereas these studs are smooth on the bottom, these studs do have a grip on them. So there's like a lattice design or a little, little mini studs on the studs which would help when you're walking on the tarmac, running across the car park late with the kickoff 20 minutes to go. Oh my goodness, can I just say if you've got kids who play football, I feel for you. Yeah, I... I hate it. I am to drag out on a Saturday morning just to watch overweight men yelling at their daughters “down the line! Down the line!” I don't even know what 'down the line' means, but I've heard it a billion times on the few matches that I've been lucky enough to... well, I've gone to nearly all of them. Got the season coming up now, so this is er... pretty urgent.

Which one do you think, before she chooses? Which one do you think she's going to go for? Do you think she's going to go for pink and purple? I'm going to call this one candy pink or the Slazenger sort of the white gym shoe look. So just looking at them, which pair do you like best? Number two? I don't know. I really like the colour. Just works so well, just a really nice colour. Yeah, I saw that. So this one, and it's also a blend of light black and pink, yeah, right, so you're kind of badass, badass with a flash of pink. Oh, second is probably the white and pink one. I like, I like the football logo. There's like a little image of a football, a fire, and football sort of on the side. And then I really like the mix of these colours, they work really well together, and then the silver, and then like the bottom is just really pretty. So the um, is so you're a fan of the... can you pronounce that? ZUQUI Sports. It's a ZUQUI sport, came second, and then number one came last. Yeah, so the purple, purple diamond ones last. I think I... I they do look nice, but I think they're just a bit too much. Yeah, a little bit too busy, like my favourite ones, they're like nice, sort of, and simple. A bit much, and these are all just like different colours  and different shapes, and then it's a bit mad. Yeah, a little bit. And for all of them, you've not actually said anything about the studs. Oh yeah, well, like they're all plastic, aren't they? Yeah, this one is also a bit plain because it's just like this bit's really, like you said, busy, and then this bit's all plain, it's just plain pink because I said people saying that girls shouldn't have pink boots, you know. Oh, you're just giving pink boots because they're girls, that's why we can't find any in the shop. Yeah, and when they do, they mostly do unisex, like when we went this weekend football shopping, yeah, as they are all basically unisex, but like they... they weren't any pink. Yeah, a bit like, what do you think unisex actually means, that boys and girls can both wear it? But like if they can both wear it, then why can't the boys wear pink? Sort of annoying. So it is anti-women! It is quite stereotypical because like it's sort of like girls can't play football, boys can't like pink, we've only got like... right, yeah, Nike, Adidas, JD Sports, Sports Direct, oh, I get it. So are these keepers then? Yeah, I like these ones. Yeah, I don't know, they're a bit flashy with the blue and yellow. Yeah, they do clash. They do clash a bit.

They look a bit weird, but yeah, but you know that's why they're distinctive, I guess. 

I am calling this a dad delivers. 

Fail! 

No, it's a success! 

How?! Definitely success, 

yeah, lots of money. You like one, not just one but two pairs of pink boots, and I didn't think we could find one pair of pink boots.

Hello, welcome back to the channel. My name's Neil, and have you ever ordered an item from Amazon and had that package delivered to an Amazon Locker? I've not done this before, so I'm doing this for the first time in real time, so that you can follow along. 

This is the Dad delivers Vlog, where we try new things to make your family happy, and the new thing that I'm trying today is to get a package delivered from Amazon to this Amazon Locker. Put my Amazon app on screen here, but obviously you can do this from the Amazon website. I've just put it here because it looks good on screen. I'm gonna buy this. It's a 12-volt power supply for a new project for my son's bedroom where we're going to put lighted switches up on his bed. I don't know how that's going to go, but the first thing I need to do is to order this power supply. 

I know I'm living the dream, but I think I've found just the item here, and the first thing we need to do is to click on 'add to basket,' not 'buy it now,' because if we click on 'buy it now,' it will just send it to the last delivery address, and we're going to change the delivery address. So here it says 'added to basket,' that's a good start. So now we can go to basket. 

We have got all the items we need, which is just this power supply. Don't want to go crazy, and I'm going to click on 'proceed to check out.' I've blanked out my delivery address. We're going to change that. 

At the bottom, it says 'change delivery or pickup address,' so I'm going to click on that link there, and under selected delivery address it has the last address that it delivered to or your default address. We're going to go down here, see nearby pickup locations, and again, sorry for all the blurring, but I'm just focusing on the bits that we need to click on, and there is an Amazon Locker near us. It's actually next door to a hotel, which is really close to us, so this is super convenient. 

I'm going to click on 'pick up' here, and it looks like this works. Now, I've tried this a few times. I've had to make this video about five times because every time I get to this section, it says 'delivery location unavailable.' 

Sometimes it says that the lockers are full, but this looks like it's really easy to have delivered at the locker, so we're good to go. There's only one delivery option, free one-day delivery. I'm on Prime, but I'll click on 'continue.' So we have the option 'buy now,' tick this box if you want this to be your permanent delivery address, and it says I have three business days to collect the order once it's been delivered to the locker. We are going to go ahead with this. I'll click on 'buy now.' This is exciting, isn't it? This is the future that we all dreamed of. Order placed. Thanks. And it tells me where the locker is. So let's do a time jump, and I guess we'll need to go to the locker.

So it's a couple of days later, and I've got this email from Amazon to say my package is ready to pick up from the locker. They give you three days to pick up your package, and I've had an email every single day. This is the last day that I can pick this up, and I've got three ways that I can enter the code to release the door to open the door to get my Amazon package. You can either use the barcode in the email or you can type in the pickup code, or both of those have suddenly appeared in my Amazon app under “Your orders”. 

When I type in the code or scan the barcode, one of these doors will just suddenly open. It's a bit like that scene in The Young Ones where they're trying to get their washing into the launderette.

'Oh, la-dee-dah! Look what I found in my laundry bag: All of Felicity Kendall’s underwear!'

And that's what's going to happen now. So to scan the barcode, there's a reader here that you just hold your mobile device under, or we can type in the pickup code number, like this. I'm going to do this using the barcode. Which door do you think it was going to be?

*Beep* It beeped!

Whoa, there we go. 

Oh, that's the one that I had when I got mine.

So we have got our package. We can just close the door. 

We got the power supply safely, which meant that I could do this Ikea Hack to my son's bed with his light switch there.
