Man Bags - what's your weapon of choice?

[RiK]

We're all such massive geeks with multiple bits of tech these days, and I for one am more than happy to carry a man bag to keep it all sorted.

"Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a bag-a-holic"

I've got a couple of STM bags, the little 'Scout' which is iPad size: (Amazon)

And I've just today got their 'Alley' bag, which is basically the same thing but laptop sized: (Amazon)

Then for everything else, and with extra added D&D nerd value I have my mighty Bag of Holding :-)

Actually NO JOKES I don't have the one above ( yet ) BUT I DO HAVE THIS ONE :

That spectrum one is awesome - WANT!

Knomo Bungo 17" messenger bag. Expensive, but lovely leather and can fit loads in. Use it with my 13" Macbook Air and get that, my iPad, all the chargers and bits necessary for meetings and a wash bag and change of clothes in there (assuming I'm reusing my trousers/jeans the next day).

Using a 20% off sale and 10% quid co help stomach the price. But it is a classy bag to turn up with.

Also have a few Crumpler bags.

Not sure where you get it, but I found mine ( long ago ) in one of those Oxfam/Charity shops in Carmarthen.

My current every-day bag is a leather satchel my folks bought me for xmas.
I mostly carry around screwdrivers, torches, switch config cables, my Nexus 7 and occasionally my Vita & headphones.
It's also big enough to carry my work 15" MacBook in an emergency, although I'm nervous about doing so, as until I double-fixed the strap, it would regularly come undone while walking.

My proper bag is a Crumpler Cheesy Disco:


But most of the time I try to do without a bag whenever possible, instead relying on jacket pockets.

My current jacket is the one I treated myself to on my 40th, a Barbour Rexton Olive:

i'm kinda obsessed with bags, have carried one with me wherever i go anywhere, even just to the shop down the road, for many years. YEAH BAGS!

current bags:



made by Alchemy Goods out of recycled bike tyre tubes, with a car seatbelt for a strap. waterproof, huge inside, amazing quality, seems like it will last forever, looks cool. reflective strips!



thai bag my gran brought me back.. beautifully soft cotton tassels. comforting. white snowflake star thing looks good under blacklight.

I use one of these:

It carries a load of fairly compact stuff, weighs a few kg loaded, this one is nylon (or something) reinforced cotton, the one before was just cotton and wore through in places but felt nicer.

"Menkind" shops had loads of the Spectrum bags last Christmas. I really wish they'd do a backpack-style version though...

Would need to be a +2 or +3 though, wouldn't it.

Maybe a PC200 version with an extra on top that's too small to fit anything in and has to be left open?

Or a Sam Coupe version that's just the wrong shape to carry the things you've got used to carrying?

Constantly eyeing Acronym Third Arm stuff, though the price is just.. *gulp*
