Another day, another bag… I’m in love with the way this bag handles variable loads. Gives it a space suit vibe of sorts.

The Cargo Works EDC Backpack

Read More

Cargo Works is tiny bag company that makes bags and sleeves aimed towards the Mac user. I’ve used their sleeves on my MacBooks and iPads for years and they are unbeatable in both utility and build quality. Great prices too…

Anyway, they recently dropped a new EDC backpack and it looks to be pretty damned great.

Check it out.

Nanuk 935

If you need a hard case carryon but don’t want to spend $1000, this is your best option. For just over $200, you get a bag that is more durable than any fancy aluminum job and only a tad bit heavier. I’ve been traveling with mine for a bout a year now and it’s pretty damned hard to beat. Fits GoRuck packing cubes fine.

One of my favorite bag companies just released their 2024 Tech Collection. I can’t speak for all of these products, but their tech pouch (pictured above) is fantastic for all sorts of uses.

Just announced about 5 minutes ago… GoRuck enters a purpose built EDC pack into the market. Really, a first for them. I can pretty much guarantee that it’s built like a brick shit house.

Adam Savage is a bag nerd. So much so, that he has made his own line of bags… and even pouches… No idea if they are worth a shit, but I bet they are.

AER Dopp Kit 3

Read More

I’ve used AER pouches and more specifically, their dopp kit, for years… In fact, I used them for more than just my toiletries. The construction and organization is second to none really… Great stuff.

In any case, they just released a new version – the Dopp Kit 3. Looks as though it features a few more pockets within and a more sturdy loop…

Alpaka Vertex Pouch

Read More

A sling that also doubles as a massive tech pouch. Made by Alpaka, so I am sure it’s built like a brick shit house… Still, man it’s big to market as a tech pouch and as a sling, it’s limited because it’s so divided up. Might be great for specific use cases though…
