What’s In My Bag (2025) 🎒

Go Ruck GR1 26L

  • ROBIC version is lighter, more water-resistant, and has MOLLE webbing on the shoulder straps.
  • Interior is light gray, making it easier to spot items inside.
  • Upgraded from the original GR1 that would be abrasive on my shoulders and back (they have since fixed this using 210D CORDURA for those areas).

Peak Design Small Tech Pouch

  • Small pouch for organizing cables, chargers, and anything else.
  • A flat bottom lets it stand up and not tip over.
  • Lightly padded, which adds a bit of extra bulk, but will keep your items safe & secure.

Small First Aid Kit

  • Packed with various NexCare Waterproof bandages, blister pads, tweezers, antihistamines, Gravol, gauze, KT tape, Steri-Strips, Sterile wipes, and other small first aid items.
  • I find most bandages that come with pre-made kits are not very good, so I made my own.

Hydro Flask Lightweight 32 oz Water Bottle

  • I’ve bought 21, 24, 32, and 40oz bottles.
  • I think 32 oz is the perfect size for daily carry.
  • Added the Wide Mouth Sport Cap (also known as Wide Mouth Flex Chug Cap) as the larger top can be tough to sip while moving.

Distil Union Folly Sunglasses

  • Magnetic arms help keep them on the neckline of your shirt, or stick them to the fridge.
  • Very flexible and hard to break.
  • I changed the lenses for Fuse AMP Lenses for improved optics and contrast.
