Knog Scout Travel – Smart Luggage Tag

[Jman]

No matter how often you travel with your golf clubs, even the most experienced of us are subject to feelings of apprehension and hoping that they make it to and from each destination. Honestly though, with as much money as many of us have wrapped up in our golf bags, it makes total sense to […]

This little thing is pretty cool.
I scanned the QR code in the article and it even gave me info to email THP.

Actually this is pretty cool. I usually have an air tag in my bag, but I could see this being used just as easily.

Very neat product - I’ve been looking To get an AirTag for some time but this has my eye.

The QR Code to contact the owner is very cool. I love that it has the steel cable to connect it to your bag more securely.

I don't see the value. Especially when I can get 4 AirTags for the same price.

I think there is some truth to this, but they are very different things.
AirTag will show you where your bag might be, it is not a luggage tag.

I really like the simplicity and ease of set up for this one. As an AirTag user, this seems like the next best option.

Thanks @Jman for the details.

I should get one of these and throw it on a range finder since I keep losing them

Android coming soon.

Using as a luggage tag and alarm is nice. I haven't ever had an issue with luggage luckily but it only takes one time to really make a bad day.

Yeah, I was happy to see that they were/are bringing the android version though, I think it’s a pretty neat device overall. Not world changing, but damn good.

No doubt. Again until someone goes through luggage hell they think this may be a niche product. I never worried about my golf bag as luggage but more and more I see all the issues online and it makes me a little more concerned. A lot of my trips involve me flying somewhere and then driving for a few hours. That would suck to have to wait around if someone took my bag on accident. If the airline forgot my bag there is not much a tag can do to help me.

Great write-up @Jman

We have used air tags in our golf bags for a while. I keep them in a golf bag pocket rather than the travel bag so they don't get lost or stolen. I love the idea of this smart luggage tag with tracking. I would hope it wouldn't get stolen or tampered with though.

It is a bummer that the US loses so many bags each year. It is estimated that US airlines lose about 2 million bag a year. JFK airport in NY loses thousands of bags a year. For reference, Kansai Airport in Osaka, Japan that opened in 1994 has never lost a bag in the 31 years of operation.

I see the value on maybe a Backpack when traveling overseas -
If you get separated from it, the 85db alarm will make it a little easier to find.
