Because my days have no set format, I don’t like relying on a single gear bag. Some days I need a laptop or my 12.9″ iPad Pro, so I need a big bag. Other days, I’m just running a few errands, so I only want to carry some keys and a wallet, but I still …

I’m a huge fan of backpacks and bags of all kinds, and one of my favorite bags with a shoulder strap is the Mission Rucksack by Toffee. I loved bringing that on the plane, but I have started using my iPad less and less, and I usually just bring my MacBook Pro on trips now. …
Colonel Littleton creates some of the finest bags I have ever had the privilege to carry my gear in. My 1943 Navigator bag has traveled the world with me and continues to be my EDC bag. It is a true workhorse and nearly bulletproof, receiving regular compliments as it grows old with me. But when the …
One year ago I posted my review of Peak Design Everyday Messenger Bag. Although I liked the bag, I didn’t make it my main bag until March of this year.

There are not many days that go by that I am not using some piece of Colonel Littleton gear to carry my tech/stuff with me. Day to day I use my Colonel Littleton No. 1943 Navigator Bag, when I travel I take my No. 2 Shave Kit, when I go away on an overnighter I use my No.1 Grip, …
A few weeks back, I reviewed the Collins vertical iPad/laptop bag from Brenthaven that I’d bought a while back for my iPad Air 2. I was looking for a similar bag for my iPad Pro. They now make one in that size, but I was hesitant. The two things I had mentioned that I would …

Every adventure has its mundane aspects. Packing and getting there qualifies as mundane, if not downright unpleasant. It becomes even more of a challenge when strict weight and size limits are imposed as on my recent trip to the Rio Parismina Lodge in the jungles of Costa Rica, for a week of tarpon fishing.

I simply love nice bags almost as much as I love technology. I need a good bag for work, but also for the weekends, since I love to load up my Macbook Pro, a camera and various notebooks depending on what I’m working on. I had the opportunity to review the Case Logic LoDo satchel, so …
I’ve given up on any hope for a paperless future, so I might as well carry all the documents I need for my day job in style along with the electronic devices I need. For that, the Staad Attaché from Waterfield Designs suits my requirements. It’s built to accommodate the iPad Pro, but until I win …

I am a bagoholic. I have two closets filled with bags from waist packs, day bags, shoulder bags to camera backpacks. Some of them date back a ways…I still have and use both a Roadwired Pod and Podzilla! I am always on the lookout for that next bag that will hold what I need when …
After several weeks of using the new Incase Reform Sling bag, I am conflicted by its unique design, its great organizational features, and its limitations because of the above. The Reform sling bag was specifically designed to hold the new 12” MacBook. While I do not have one of these MacBooks (I have a 13.3” …
Keep Pursuing’s new KP Sling Bag is a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that launched today for what they are calling an Everyday Adventure bag. I call it a cross between a wallet and a messenger bag because it’s designed to be part of your EDC – Every Day Carry.
Those that have read my previous bag posts will realize that my main love of bags centres around messenger style bags. That was until I started bike riding.
