Hey guys!

I've been working on a video like this for, well, almost 4 years now.

As you know, I've slowed down on YouTube to focus on touring, and with that comes a very different focus and headspace. Most of my headspace is now taken up with logistics - how to get musicians from point A to point B, and how much it's going to cost to do that safely and effectively.

A HUGE factor in traveling is how you move instruments around, and I've been filming a good deal of my interactions at airports to try and paint as honest a picture as I possibly can of the state of affairs right now for musicians who fly.

It's frustrating, it's chaotic, and it's messy, and it could be a whole lot better, but for right now, I take my bass in the cabin as hand luggage, and I follow a series of steps ("strategies") to get it in and out statistically as safe as I can get it.

Hope you enjoy this video!

Adam
