That Bobby Backpack looks incredible. Love the design, and the theft protection seems awesome. That's something I think about all the time walking around in the city or standing in crowded areas if I've got my bag with me. I always try to have my back against a wall or something if I'm not moving to prevent it. This thing looks great though.
Thumbs up if you'd like to see more content like this from me in the future! Had a blast making this one, thanks so much for the support. Also, links to everything in the description box!
The snacks are essential for me! I'm gone a lot of days for 12-14 hours, gotta stay prepared. :) That thermos is amazing, I've never owned one that came anywhere close to this one. I'd definitely recommend it! :)
My EDC: notebook, pen, wallet, keybar, benchmade 940-1 (MEN should carry a pocket knife), olight S1 baton, leatherman juice s2, sig sauer p938 (or Ruger sp101 and a speed loader), cellphone, sunglasses, regular glasses, and most of the time I have a water bottle too. I used to weigh almost 300 lbs, i am now down to 188. So proud, and still feels wierd buying smalls and mediums. Great content bro
That benchmade looks awesome! I've been wanting to get a quality knife for a while to keep in my bag. Thanks so much for all the detail, love hearing about what folks carry. Congrats on your weight loss too, I absolutely know what you mean about the small and medium size, it's still crazy sometimes. Keep up the good work!
I have the same exact timbuk2 backpack, color scheme and all! I've noticed the two pockets where you keep your power brick and hard drive become useless if you move your bag around because items slip out of them easily. It can get to be annoying. I've tried putting velcro there to be able to close them, but it doesn't really stick. That's the only real flaw I've found with the bag.
I've never actually had that happen to me before! Maybe I just got lucky with what I picked to go there fitting properly? Not sure. That's too bad though, I wonder why it keeps falling out for you.
Very nice bag! Been trying to find a good bag to carry the same sized Hydro flask. That is a lot of the same gear I carry but I also carry a multi-tool, and a tiny first aid kit.
It's snug, but it definitely fits! I've had a few folks mention both of those items, definitely making me consider going out to find them to add to the bag. Hopefully soon, but hanks for watching and supporting!
Just looked it up, love that simple design! You guys have all given me so many awesome bag recommendations, makes me want to go out and get a different one now, haha. Thanks for watching and supporting!
solid video! I don't really carry a day pack... I suppose my gym bag 3 or 4 days a week.. the only thing I have in mine you may consider.. is a small first aid kit... They are super cheap and always good to have on hand... be good BFL.
Thanks so much for the support! First aid kit would probably come in handy every once in a while! I would probably bring one on a long backpacking trip but I always know I have one at work and home so not much use in-between. Would make a great addition for these summer hiking trips though. Do you have a certain one you like that you carry?
just a small $5 one from Wal-Mart... we go camping quite often and plan on hiking much more this summer... this is pretty much what I have.... www.walmart.com/search/?query=first%20aid%20kit&cat_id=4125&typeahead=first%20
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, that might be tough. I think both of the companies are a little smaller, I know Timbuk2 and Hydroflask are both based near where I live. I know the US amazon site has them, maybe they've got them over there too? There's a thread at the top of the video too with some really cool other bags people recommended, might be worth checking those out if you don't have any luck.
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! This is probably my favorite video out of everything I've made. Thanks for watching and supporting, hoping to have more like this on the channel in the future!
BeardedFatLoss great thank you, I really need to buy it. I have a great folding umbrella I keep in my backpack but sometimes I feel it isn't enough when it's raining from all directions 😂
Thanks so much! I definitely want to do more on the tech/productivity side of things in the future, I had so much fun making this one. Thanks for your support and keep an eye out for some more videos coming up! :)
nice backpack! im currently looking for a tech backpack but im REALLY DIGGING the Herschel little america backpack because i go hiking almost every weekend and it can be useful for that, i know its not that great for a tech backpack (atleast i think). Not sure if i should buy a reg backpack like this one or go for the herschel little america backpack 🤔
I love that bag too! I know exactly what you mean though, I was running into the same problem picking out mine. I wish the design was a little simpler/classic on my bag like the herschel bags, but I love how well everything fits into my bag to get around town. Best of luck with your choice, the uptown bag has been awesome so far!
It is AMAZING! Literally at work drinking from it now. I'll be sure to check out there other products, didn't realize they made rice makers. Thanks for watching and supporting!
Hey Josh you sound like me. I have 2 commuter backpacks. One backpack is just for hanging around but need some things for the day. Nothing very serious in that one. Hahaha!!! The other backpack is a large one and it has a bunch of stuff in it. Including Pepperoni beef sticks. Hahaha!!!! Got to keep in the snacks in a commuter backpack. The huge backpack I take to work. It travels on the bus with me. Great commuter backpack. It is from Holly homes. It is a great storage backpack for everything. The pack is waterproof but I got a few rain covers for it. The other backpack has a rain cover that came with it. To let you know, I actually do like you do as far as the set up of my commuter backpacks. The huge work one which is the number one commuter pack has 2 gigantic coffee mugs in it. Well, one is a 20 Oz and the other is a huge 30 oz. thinking about getting more snack selection here soon for the pack. It is so nice to bee able to sit on the bus and rip something out and eat it. It is a 21 inch backpack. I got everything that the day would have to offer from food to nail clippers to Ipad iphone cables charger, and jackets. Oh and the huge case for my iphone. It fits in one of the side pouches. Anyways the backpack is such a great one it does terrific on the commute. Got airpods and more in that thing. It is like a mobile office. Anyways I named my commuter backpacks after a couple of youtube girls. The packs are named after 2 girls that are twins. The main commuter backpack that is a huge pack is Bailey. The other one that is just for little commutes and erronds is Brooklyn.
WoW~! Awesome video very informative! Neatly organized as well, seems like so many items that it would be heavy/strenuous for your back? Probably not though.., Again Loved this Video & the products as well!! Thank You!!
Thanks so much! It's a lot but it's all stuff I need. Have to run the youtube channel 'on the go', only way I can fit it into my day! Some of the items like the computer charger and food I'll leave at work during the beginning of the week so I don't have to carry them back and forth all week.
Would you still recommend the timbuk2 uptown as an alternative too the aer tech pack? Its half the price of the aer pack, but is it twice the value? Or do you have any other multi compartment bags you'd like ?
If your budget is strict it’s a great bag, but having used both I’d personally go with the AER bag mainly for the aesthetic and extra comfort. If you like the look of the Timbuk2 though it’s a great bag for the price. I paid $130 or something originally and I think it’s around $80 now on amazon last I saw.
Thanks so much! I've actually been traveling with a few different bags lately, but I've been on at least half a dozen flights with this one and the compartment worked well! TSA seemed okay with it, I was never asked to remove it as long as it was unzipped all the way. Hope this helps!
Good video man, quick question. What software do you use to edit your videos? I have the same laptop and haven't been able to get Premiere Pro to work yet and have to use my Windows one to edit.
Thanks so much, glad to hear you enjoyed it! I actually use Final Cut Pro X for all of my editing, it works wonderfully if you haven't tried it before!
if you need a micro fiber cloth, you have to get the iroller. Its absolutely azming. People that have used it, including me, all think its like magic. Its a permanent solution, it cleans your screen so quickly and well, and you just rinse it with water and it renews iteself.
I've heard of those! I love the idea but I use the microfiber cloth for my camera lens and glasses all the time so I don't think it would work for that. Might end up getting one for my electronics though, a few people brought this one up!
Really cool video. Thanks! I've got a question, I live this backpack and I might get it in the same color. Does it get dirty easily? I own one that is dark grey and I don't have to wash it often. This one is very light grey, that's the reason of my question. Thanks, man! 👍
I've gotten a spot or two on it from hiking, but it doesn't seem to hold dirt that all too much Not sure how it would clean if it got really muddy, but it held up well for me in the daily rain of Portland winter. The heather pattern in the fabric masks quite a bit. Thanks for watching and supporting! :)
I probably average about 3-4 miles on a usual day. 2 miles at a minimum (commute to work), but 7-8 miles some days if I'm out and about running errands or hiking.
I'd probably give it a 7 or 8/10 for comfort. Not the most comfortable bag I've worn but the padding is pretty decent on that back piece. Switched earlier this year to the Aer tech pack and that's a bit more comfortable if it's a big concern for you. Review is up on the channel if you want to check that one out!
Not sure! Would love to know that one myself actually. The lack of waterproofing is the one downside for me with this bag living in Portland ( a TON of rain around here). Let me know if you come across one!
I've been looking for a backpack to hold all my tech and some food for when I travel across states, would you say this backpack is better then the osprey flapjack? (it's between those two for me)
I haven't used the flapjack bag before, but I can say this bag is great! Really holds a ton of stuff, and it's layed out well for both food and tech storage having their own separate 'sections'. Sorry I could give you a more definite answer, best of luck with the decision!
I really like these videos but I travel to the Philippines a lot and can't carry much tech there as things go 'missing' guess I could do a video called what's NOT in my bag! 💼 :(
That's too bad! There's actually a pinned thread at the top of the comments, someone had posted a 'theft-proof' bag that looked amazing, you should check it out!
I’m pretty sure it was from the express outlet. I picked it up back when I lived in Michigan, probably was from 2015? Not sure if you’d be able to find it but it was a cool jacket!
No real accessories beside a chest strap. Double checked the measurements, it's 30L and about 20" tall. Back stays nice and cool with the padding! $79 on amazon, I've got a link in the description. Thanks for watching and supporting!
Great video! I was actually looking for a new laptop backpack, but it was taking forever cuz I'm picky as hell lol so I just decided to watch some random RUclips stuff as usual and your video just popped up on my recommended video section! (technology, bro lol) and I LOVE your backpack! Now I definitely have to check the timbuk2 website :) and if you don't mind, can i ask you where you bought that rain cover? I have one, but that would be too big for a new bag cuz it's made for 80L camping backpack lol Anyway, plz make some more great videos, I've subscribed! :)
No worries! Glad you found the link and enjoyed the video! That Uptown bag has been doing really well for me since I got it, would definitely recommend.
If you plan on flying with it, the Uptown would definitely win with the separate laptop compartment. The Parkside looks good too though if you don't plan on doing too much traveling.
Another MacBook Pro for sure! I'm way too deep into the apple ecosystem to use anything else and have been using their computers since I was 15 and started doing graphic design work. Workhorses for sure!
some reason i always like to know what people edc or carry with them all the time haha , the coffee thing looks good i could do with one of those as im a coffee addict =P btw just curious do you carry a concealed firearm at all in portland ? im from uk and curious about the whole american take on carrying guns
I am the same way, I love learning about this stuff from other people! Glad to here someone else appreciated this like I did. I don't personally carry a gun but don't have a problem with other people that do. From what I can tell Portland doesn't seem like too much of a gun heavy city but I know in some southern states there are a lot of concealed carries. Just depends a lot on where you're from, American spans 4 or 5 thousand kilometers, a lot bigger than some folks realize. :)
oh yea Americas massive thanks for the reply ,i need to get better at my gear packing skills ,im terrible for weekend trips as i never end up carrying enough water or coffee ,could you do a hiking/camping carry setup sometime too see what you take when out in the sticks ?
That would be awesome! Gotta do some more camping though, I haven't been out in probably 5-6 years. Used to go with a group of friends so we all brought random gear. Usually for these short hikes in town I go on I just bring water and my camera gear, but I'll definitely want to expand out as I go on longer and further hikes. Love that Idea for the future though when I get out there more!
BeardedFatLoss you should carry.. Oregon and Washington, although willfully ignorant in places, is pro self-defense. I know being involved in a shooting is suuuuper rare, but it pays to have options. You wear a seatbelt, right? Great channel bro love all your content.
My bag in the video would definitely fit the bill! Not a designated camera spot, but it works really well for me. I would check through the comments on here too, a bunch of people linked their favorite bags and there are some awesome ones in there I wish I had, haha. Best of luck with your hunt!
That thing looks awesome! The only potential issue for me though is that I usually use my cloths for my glasses too. Do you know if this would work for those? I don't think it can get past the rim of my glasses from what I can tell in the picture.
am I a sad person for finding this REALLY interesting? Or just a really nosy person? I find it slightly scary how well organised yiu are! i do try but usually stuff in my bag that I carry for weeks and never need I take out when I'm at home and forget to put it back and sure enough it poours with rain and the umbrella is still open and drying in the bath getting ready to play Angry Birds on the tube and realise I packed everything except my glasses is another one I need to take a leaf out of your book I make a rule always to have tissues your filming is *brilliant* btw xx
Absolutely not sad, I love this stuff! How people work/live/operate will always be interesting for me, I'm glad you got some enjoyment from it! Getting rid of my car and commuting on foot really made me be conscious about all of the stuff I keep in there, all has to have purpose! Forgetting glasses would be rough for sure. I usually don't carry tissues, but I keep a handkerchief on me incase I need it. Glad you enjoyed the video though, thanks so much for the support!
I have one from when I got my glasses, it’s just not quite as nice anymore after a few years have passed. Haven’t been able to find very many good alternatives to purchase.
Depending on the day it can get pretty heavy! I can't remember exactly but I think it was somewhere around 20-25lbs if I'm carrying everything. Always working on lightening!
Wow. It's like walking around all day with a baby. I live in Hong Kong and heavily depends on public transport. I have to carry 2 lunch boxes and a blender bottle/protein powder with me all day long. The weight is killing me.
In a few different ways. :) I'll probably use it for a minimum of 10 years, so thats about $15/year for something I'll really appreciate and cherish as a special item for me. It's a beautiful wallet and fits my needs perfectly for what I need from a wallet. Shinola is also a really great company and they have their factory in my hometown. They're helping grow/rebuild/restore Detroit by having their factory in town and paying good wages to their factory employees. I really would love one of their watches, but I cant afford it so this was a really great way to still support the company. This was WAY more than I payed for the last two wallets I've owned in my lifetime, so I definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm a big quality over quantity type of person so the things I buy are very carefully selected. Hope this shed some light on the expensive wallet! :) I actually found a little segment (3 mins) someone did about the company if you're interested in learning more. ruclips.net/video/frDDw5MJRO4/видео.html
Haha, you get used to it after a while! This setup is actually my lighter version of what I would ideally carry, there's a few things I left out to lighten it up. :)
Can't remember the model name but it's from Goorin Bros! They have a brick and mortar store near my apartment I got it from but I believe you can order online. Really great quality and not too expensive!
What's everyone's favorite backpack?
BeardedFatLoss the classic fjalraven konken backpack, but I'm saving money to buy the aer fit backpack
Bookmarking that AER brand for sure! Just looked it up, their travel bag looks amazing. :)
BeardedFatLoss I love the Aer Duffle
Bobby backpack
That Bobby Backpack looks incredible. Love the design, and the theft protection seems awesome. That's something I think about all the time walking around in the city or standing in crowded areas if I've got my bag with me.

I love that you have healthy snacks on the go. I need that thermos you use for coffee!
The snacks are essential for me! I'm gone a lot of days for 12-14 hours, gotta stay prepared. :) That thermos is amazing, I've never owned one that came anywhere close to this one. I'd definitely recommend it! :)

Hi just got a wenger bag love it lots so good it’s the Swiss army bag you need
The Wenger bags look great! Hope you're enjoying it, thanks for the tip!
I saw your video a little too late, that bag is nice I would have considered buying it. I bought myself a PacSafe 15L backpack.
That's too bad, but that PacSafe bag looks pretty great too! Glad you were able to find one that works for you. :)
Wow, great video ! Love the backpack, sad it's hard to find the backpack and water flask in Europe...
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, that might be tough. I think both of the companies are a little smaller, I know Timbuk2 and Hydroflask are both based near where I live.

BeardedFatLoss I’ve just ordered a Thule backpack ... now questioning my decision
You should get the spuds microfiber cloth
Definitely the #1 recommendation around here, gonna pick some up soon!
Spudz microfiber cloths trust me bro definite need !!!
So many people recommended these, I've gotta pick some up. Thanks for the recommendation!
Man, we have few things common. Timbuk2, Hydroflask, Jaybrid, WD, Zojirushi. I also use Grid it organizer instead of MacBook.
Haha, that’s awesome! You’ve got great taste. :)
Awesome video, can I ask where you bout the waterproof backpack cover?
Amazon! Actually have a link down in the description too if you're interested. That thing has saved me so many times!
BeardedFatLoss great thank you, I really need to buy it. I have a great folding umbrella I keep in my backpack but sometimes I feel it isn't enough when it's raining from all directions 😂

Thanks so much! I've actually been traveling with a few different bags lately, but I've been on at least half a dozen flights with this one and the compartment worked well! TSA seemed okay with it, I was never asked to remove it as long as it was unzipped all the way. Hope this helps!

BeardedFatLoss Actually there is a version of iroller called like the mini iroller or something and it is meant for lenses and glasses
It's shaped much smaller and has a slightly more pointed tip for wiping the lenses
That's awesome! I asked someone before when they mentioned the iroller if that was a thing but they never responded. Definitely looking into it now!
Good video, not too short, not to long.
Thank you! Had so much fun making this one, will be having an update or two for 2018 so stay tuned! :)
Check out peeps eye glass cleaner
That thing looks awesome! Never seen anything like it, has it been working well for you?
is this the first video that literally has no dislikes ?!
BTW I enjoyed it
Haha, usually get pretty lucky and get to keep that zero! :) Thanks so much for the support!
That's a very cool backpack! Great video too 👌🏾.
Thanks so much for the support!
Spudz microfiber cloth on amazon
Thanks for the tip! Almost unanimous vote from everyone for the spudz, gotta order some!
this was very insightful and helpful, thanks you!
No problem, this was a blast to make. Thanks so much for the support!
Really cool video. Thanks! I've got a question, I live this backpack and I might get it in the same color. Does it get dirty easily? I own one that is dark grey and I don't have to wash it often. This one is very light grey, that's the reason of my question. Thanks, man! 👍
I've gotten a spot or two on it from hiking, but it doesn't seem to hold dirt that all too much Not sure how it would clean if it got really muddy, but it held up well for me in the daily rain of Portland winter. The heather pattern in the fabric masks quite a bit. Thanks for watching and supporting! :)
micro fibrecloth by spudz
Definitely gotta pick some of these up. Recommendations for these were unanimous!
Gets some
That bags is deceptive. I had no idea it could hold that much.
It's crazy! Makes for a great traveling bag too, took this for my main luggage on a long weekend trip recently and everything fit with room to spare.
I carry cell phone cords multi tool and treats. I’m thinking of park side or this one which would you recommend?
Haven’t tried the parkside, from what I remember it’s similar but a bit smaller? Could be wrong though. This one is great though for the price!
Great video! I'm really curious how much you walk in a day though?
I probably average about 3-4 miles on a usual day. 2 miles at a minimum (commute to work), but 7-8 miles some days if I'm out and about running errands or hiking.
Is the pack comfortable to wear, given that the laptop is right there, and very rigid?
I'd probably give it a 7 or 8/10 for comfort. Not the most comfortable bag I've worn but the padding is pretty decent on that back piece. Switched earlier this year to the Aer tech pack and that's a bit more comfortable if it's a big concern for you. Review is up on the channel if you want to check that one out!
lol i have this exact bag same color i love it!!
That's awesome! It's been great for me so far.
What's a good water proof pack that also has a charging port built in?
Not sure! Would love to know that one myself actually. The lack of waterproofing is the one downside for me with this bag living in Portland ( a TON of rain around here). Let me know if you come across one!
I've been looking for a backpack to hold all my tech and some food for when I travel across states, would you say this backpack is better then the osprey flapjack? (it's between those two for me)
I haven't used the flapjack bag before, but I can say this bag is great! Really holds a ton of stuff, and it's layed out well for both food and tech storage having their own separate 'sections'. Sorry I could give you a more definite answer, best of luck with the decision!
I really like these videos but I travel to the Philippines a lot and can't carry much tech there as things go 'missing' guess I could do a video called what's NOT in my bag! 💼 :(
That's too bad! There's actually a pinned thread at the top of the comments, someone had posted a 'theft-proof' bag that looked amazing, you should check it out!
Thanks I will 🙂
Hey Josh, I know this video is old but where is that jacket at 0:28 from? Thanks man!
I’m pretty sure it was from the express outlet. I picked it up back when I lived in Michigan, probably was from 2015? Not sure if you’d be able to find it but it was a cool jacket!
Josh Fenn Oh man way back haha. Love the style. Thanks for the reply man
spuddz do good microfibre cloths
Definitely the most recommended, thanks for letting me know!
Just bought this backpack thanks to you. 😁
That's awesome, enjoy it! Absolutely the best backpack I've ever owned. :)
Excellent video man, keep it up :)
Thanks so much for watching and supporting! Had so much fun making this one.
This is so good.
Thanks for the support!
acceseries comes with it?/is 16or18/20long??//fiber back to keep back Cool??/tufmus set available? /$?
No real accessories beside a chest strap. Double checked the measurements, it's 30L and about 20" tall. Back stays nice and cool with the padding! $79 on amazon, I've got a link in the description. Thanks for watching and supporting!
Quality and cool videos
Thanks so much for the support, I appreciate it!
Is there a slim version of that backpack
Not that I'm aware of, but it slims down quite a bit with less stuff in the bag. 👍
great vid. keep it up bro.
Thanks so much for the support!
Great video! I was actually looking for a new laptop backpack, but it was taking forever cuz I'm picky as hell lol so I just decided to watch some random RUclips stuff as usual and your video just popped up on my recommended video section! (technology, bro lol) and I LOVE your backpack! Now I definitely have to check the timbuk2 website :) and if you don't mind, can i ask you where you bought that rain cover? I have one, but that would be too big for a new bag cuz it's made for 80L camping backpack lol
Anyway, plz make some more great videos, I've subscribed! :)
Oh, disregard that last question. You even posted a link lol sorry
No worries! Glad you found the link and enjoyed the video! That Uptown bag has been doing really well for me since I got it, would definitely recommend.
should I get the uptown or the Parkside?
If you plan on flying with it, the Uptown would definitely win with the separate laptop compartment. The Parkside looks good too though if you don't plan on doing too much traveling.
Love the video
So glad to here that, thanks so much for the support!
I've the same Zojirushi flask and I'll second your comment that they work too well. They are the definition of over engineered.
I know, right?! That thing is incredible. Thanks for the support!
What do you think you'll upgrade your laptop to?
Another MacBook Pro for sure! I'm way too deep into the apple ecosystem to use anything else and have been using their computers since I was 15 and started doing graphic design work. Workhorses for sure!
Try out some spudz on amazon. By alpine innovations
I got so many spuds recommendations, definitely picking some up now. Thanks for the tip!
Very smart.
Thanks for your support!
Really nice video keep it up
Thanks so much for watching and supporting!
some reason i always like to know what people edc or carry with them all the time haha , the coffee thing looks good i could do with one of those as im a coffee addict =P btw just curious do you carry a concealed firearm at all in portland ? im from uk and curious about the whole american take on carrying guns
I am the same way, I love learning about this stuff from other people! Glad to here someone else appreciated this like I did. I don't personally carry a gun but don't have a problem with other people that do. From what I can tell Portland doesn't seem like too much of a gun heavy city but I know in some southern states there are a lot of concealed carries. Just depends a lot on where you're from, American spans 4 or 5 thousand kilometers, a lot bigger than some folks realize. :)
oh yea Americas massive thanks for the reply ,i need to get better at my gear packing skills ,im terrible for weekend trips as i never end up carrying enough water or coffee ,could you do a hiking/camping carry setup sometime too see what you take when out in the sticks ?
That would be awesome! Gotta do some more camping though, I haven't been out in probably 5-6 years. Used to go with a group of friends so we all brought random gear. Usually for these short hikes in town I go on I just bring water and my camera gear, but I'll definitely want to expand out as I go on longer and further hikes. Love that Idea for the future though when I get out there more!
BeardedFatLoss you should carry.. Oregon and Washington, although willfully ignorant in places, is pro self-defense. I know being involved in a shooting is suuuuper rare, but it pays to have options. You wear a seatbelt, right? Great channel bro love all your content.
I'll definitely be keeping that in mind, thanks so much for watching and supporting!
awesome video
Thank you!
I could tell you were from Portland before you even said it
Not sure if that's a good thing or not but I'll take it. :)
Coming from Ron I'm not as confident, haha. He would love the forests out here though.
BeardedFatLoss just messing with you young man. And yes the quality of wood those trees bring is excellent
how heavy is his backpack!!!
It gets pretty heavy sometimes! This was after I lightened it up too, haha.
I live in Portland 💯
That's awesome! Moved out here last year from Michigan, it's been great. Always happy to see someone in town around here. :)
Cool backpack 🎒 keep up the good work 😄😄😄
Thanks so much for the support!
Np thank you for replying
suggest me a bagpack which could carry a dslr and laptop and it's budget friendly!
My bag in the video would definitely fit the bill! Not a designated camera spot, but it works really well for me. I would check through the comments on here too, a bunch of people linked their favorite bags and there are some awesome ones in there I wish I had, haha. Best of luck with your hunt!
Can this bag hold a 3 inch binder?
+Christopher Taylor Definitely! The big compartment would probably work up to 4 inches even. Tons of room 👍
BeardedFatLoss Awesome. I'm in the market for a new bag and this one is leading right now
What do you do for a living?
I sell mattresses when I'm not working on the channel actually! Not too glamorous, but I get a lot of free time to edit and it pays the bills. :)
Just not a micro fiber cloth but it's way better!!! iRoller!!!
That thing looks awesome! The only potential issue for me though is that I usually use my cloths for my glasses too. Do you know if this would work for those? I don't think it can get past the rim of my glasses from what I can tell in the picture.
What's the title of the song?
It's called 'Pieces of Movement' - Faster People :)
am I a sad person for finding this REALLY interesting? Or just a really nosy person?
I find it slightly scary how well organised yiu are!
i do try but usually stuff in my bag that I carry for weeks and never need I take out when I'm at home and forget to put it back and sure enough it poours with rain and the umbrella is still open and drying in the bath
getting ready to play Angry Birds on the tube and realise I packed everything except my glasses is another one
I need to take a leaf out of your book
I make a rule always to have tissues
your filming is *brilliant* btw xx
Absolutely not sad, I love this stuff! How people work/live/operate will always be interesting for me, I'm glad you got some enjoyment from it! Getting rid of my car and commuting on foot really made me be conscious about all of the stuff I keep in there, all has to have purpose! Forgetting glasses would be rough for sure. I usually don't carry tissues, but I keep a handkerchief on me incase I need it. Glad you enjoyed the video though, thanks so much for the support!
always a big financial saving getting rid of a car no matter where you live!
"a good brand of micro fiber clothe"
what?! I just ask for one from the store I got my glasses from.. I am not from the States though.
I have one from when I got my glasses, it’s just not quite as nice anymore after a few years have passed. Haven’t been able to find very many good alternatives to purchase.
How heavy is your bag?
Depending on the day it can get pretty heavy! I can't remember exactly but I think it was somewhere around 20-25lbs if I'm carrying everything. Always working on lightening!
Wow. It's like walking around all day with a baby. I live in Hong Kong and heavily depends on public transport. I have to carry 2 lunch boxes and a blender bottle/protein powder with me all day long. The weight is killing me.
I like your YT-style -
Thanks so much for your support! I was really proud of how this one came out.
$150 wallet? how do you justify that?
In a few different ways. :) I'll probably use it for a minimum of 10 years, so thats about $15/year for something I'll really appreciate and cherish as a special item for me. It's a beautiful wallet and fits my needs perfectly for what I need from a wallet. Shinola is also a really great company and they have their factory in my hometown. They're helping grow/rebuild/restore Detroit by having their factory in town and paying good wages to their factory employees. I really would love one of their watches, but I cant afford it so this was a really great way to still support the company.
This was WAY more than I payed for the last two wallets I've owned in my lifetime, so I definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm a big quality over quantity type of person so the things I buy are very carefully selected. Hope this shed some light on the expensive wallet! :) I actually found a little segment (3 mins) someone did about the company if you're interested in learning more. ruclips.net/video/frDDw5MJRO4/видео.html
tech jobs. teach employees get paid a ton of money so they tend to piss their money away
he can spend his money how he wants to
gosh how heavy is this thing
Haha, you get used to it after a while! This setup is actually my lighter version of what I would ideally carry, there's a few things I left out to lighten it up. :)
Which cap is dat ?
Can't remember the model name but it's from Goorin Bros! They have a brick and mortar store near my apartment I got it from but I believe you can order online. Really great quality and not too expensive!
