I feel bad for such a little sprout having to carry so much! (spoken from a dinky adult) Which one does he like better? The Brain Bag looks like it suits him!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing them! I've been considering a Smart Alec as an alternative to an Aeronaut, which is what I want but is too big (I'm dinky), and a Western Flyer, which I also want but...

I have a Synapse 19 and removed the waist strap the first day, and kept the sternum strap. I almost never buckle it though! For the small load I carry, it never seems necessary. When I use my big...

Genius idea, Miking! As for tape colors, Miking and I are in similar industries (I'm in theater) and we use different colors to mark the deck all the time (spike tape). I may have to make a roll of...

Excellent Customer Service Update!

I mentioned in my post that I wasn't so sure about wasabi, and the next day I got an email from Scott (the guitar artist) saying he could ship a steel PCBP with...

Here you go!

I bike, walk, and take public transportation everywhere and will never go back to a messenger bag. Look at bike messengers nowadays--- a growing percentage use backpacks (probably as their shoulders...

"That's a cool box," said Anthony, the guy who works in my building and signed for it. -I'm lucky to live in a building that accepts and signs for all package deliveries. I asked the TB crew to...

I have a few steel Dyneema accessories and they seem clean as a whistle. I'd go with the Dyneema because it looks cool and it's lightweight. I also have a conifer Synapse, and was very careful with...

I wish I could retrofit this to my Synapse! The only thing that keeps it from being a perfect commuting bag is lack of a blinky loop. hmmmm.... wonder if I could figure out a way to make it work......

I wasn't going to post in this thread until I heard the magic words "Scotch" and "wine." Please refer to this thread, in which I have a picture of my Synapse carrying an orchid, a book, and a bottle...

See how the sun is behind the chair? That's backlighting. If you turn the chair around and set it to face the sun, the lighting will be much better and you'll be able to see the bag. Good luck!

I love merino wool shirts. I wear one every day. I'm allergic to everything and am very tactile (shirt tags and toe seams drive me around the bend) but merino wool doesn't bother me.

"If anyone wants me to post pictures at some point, let me know (although they will likely be grainy iphone pics). "



Post pictures! Post pictures!

I like my Clear Quarter Packing Cube. You can put liquid things in one side, like contact solution, and dry things in the other. The divider ensures dry things stay dry if a leak happens in the...

When this thread started I thought 'I wish I had a need for a flashlight every day' then I came to my senses and realized I use one at work, all the time! I use a headlamp because I need both hands...

Having been robbed by two old ladies in Barcelona, I think concerns about it are valid. I'm a savvy traveller too! If you're approached by someone or a pair selling rosemary or a carnation, don't...

Outdoor Research is my favorite outerwear maker. They make the puffy that I just bought that makes winter bearable. I love my Surly bike. My iPhone 5 is my constant companion. Mission Workshop is a...

Well done! Knowing the stories behind objects, design, and materials is important to me, too! Furthermore, this video convinced me that I need a bag with a wasabi interior.

Aww! He's beautiful. Thanks for rescuing him!

I put my iPhone (5 woohoo!) in the lined phone pocket. In that pocket I also put my bus card.
In the side pen pocket I put pens, my camera when I carry it, sunglasses in a hard case. What I like...

That's a handsome color! It satisfies a need for color as well as being understated enough to be neutral and play well with other colors. Looks like it would go well with forest and conifer bags, my...

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Fancy! It was a birthday present.

A live mini orchid and a bottle of Scotch (full size).

Disclosure: I don't have a Cadet. I am a bike commuter though. The Cadet looks like it has a structured back which means it won't mold to your back when you're on a bike. That, plus the ballistic...
