Washington Post article: Burdens of the Modern Beast

A TB customer -- with his Empire Builder and stuff
In the article “Burdens of the Modern Beast”, Washington Post staff writer Linton Weeks makes an interesting observation — we carry a TON of stuff. A lot more than we have in the past. The article notes that many people carry more than one bag at a time.

Some customers have sent us pictures of what they can fit inside their Tom Bihn bags. Check out this picture. The picture posted in this entry is of a customer holding his Empire Builder, and before him is everything he fits in the Empire Builder.

We’re curious. What do you carry with you every day? What can’t you live without? Tell us — in our forums.

I think my favorite part of the article is the writers description of school children with rolling suitcases — “They look like so many little flight attendants.”
