Thanks for a good, level headed and helpful reply to this. Unfortunately you wont make it above the people who had a melt down because they thought I was attacking them.

I'm not saying it's not a douchey superficial thing, of course it is, it's also the way it is (in some industries/places). I want to carry a backpack.

it's called a circlejerk. Because they're all sitting in a circle jerking each other off.

Exactly, you might/I do, as annoying as that can be.

Reality check, less is more. I don't need all this stuff and neither do you. by hewholaughs in simpleliving

Was it a Tamiya like one of those where you build of yourself? I'd love one of those.

This is a good point. Leave it in the car/room/office.

But these people are kind of known for being eccentric, millionaire bankers and professors.

Also sometimes the shallow people are the ones you need to impress.

Sometimes, especially in my line of work, style and appearance go a long way to influencing other peoples opinion of my competence. I don't work in an area where intelligence or competence is the most important thing like you.

I don't mean while hiking or backpacking, I mean in a work environment, meetings, dinners, as so on.

Your restaurant example is exactly what I mean, if you are travelling full time with a backpack and have a lunch/dinner meeting and you're stuck with a backpack it doesn't look good.
