This is part one of a mini-series about how to become a better roadie, stagehand, or technician. Whether you tour, travel for gigs, or work within your own city, hopefully you'll learn something that will help you become better at what you do.
This is a short video where I introduce this series, and discuss most of the items that I bring with me on a tour. Some items are for daily use, while others may only be needed once or twice.
Please let me know if you'd like me to include different topics on subsequent videos in this series. Thanks for watching!
