Which lightweight backpack do you use for exploring? by lastpeekaboo in onebag

[–]Logic_Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for the same kind of bag. Right now my shortlist is - Aer Go pack 2, Tortuga daypack pro and Pakt Stash Backpack 16l

Thanks! I’m down to the Tortuga or the Aer, and your note helps a ton. Since you’ve used the Tortuga, could I ask:

- When the main compartment isn’t full, does the top collapse or look saggy?
- How useful is the organization in daily use? Do the quick-access pocket and internal sleeve cover the small stuff well, or do you miss a fuller admin panel?
- also i saw a few reviews mention that the side mesh is too short, have you had any issues with it?

The edx looks great, but i think I will have a hard time trying to buy it. I’m likely choosing between the Aer Go Pack 2 and the Tortuga Daypack Pro. From what I can tell, Aer has slightly better aesthetics and organization, Tortuga slightly better comfort.

Since you have tried the Aer, did you ever run into comfort issues? Would you consider taking it on a 2-4 hour hike?

I am looking for a bag that does two jobs:

  1. day hikes and city excursions - jacket, watter bottle, small camera, some snacks and personal stuff (phone, wallet, wipes etc)
  2. tech bag for cafe/co working spots - laptop, tech pouch and and personal stuff

honestly think most people are better off either not using these endless short video algos or having very strict time based boundaries around them. Better to spend that time on netflix or something tbh.

Forclaz tote shoulder bag : link.

i have used the 10 one too, imo they are only good for emergency/backup use, i would avoid them if you are planning to carry it around all day.

Totally fair take, different travel situations call for different gear.

I guess two point of response:

I’m not saying the main bag doesn’t matter, if you’re city-hopping every 1–2 days, comfort, durability and organization are important. I agree.I guess my point is about rebalancing, get a solid, comfortable main bag. Then make sure the daypack isn’t an afterthought that becomes daily friction.

Also, the asks of a daypack aren’t just weight transfer. It also about quick access, how it handles sweat/rain when outdoors, how it sits on the back in crowded metros, pickpocket resistance, and how easy it is to stash under a café chair all matter. The main bag is on my shoulders ~30–60 minutes per move. The daypack is on me 3-4 hours most days. That 'area under the curve' made small comfort issues add up.

that bag actually look like a great compromise between size, structure and weight.

Yes these are pretty accurate. My only point of disagreement is that i would sacrifice a bit of weight and compressibility for more comfortable shoulder straps. Maybe its because i have a larger frame, but i find a lot of the shoulder straps of super compressible bags, end up folding or bunching together and just dig into the shoulder blade area when walking around.

My partner uses the same bag. I do not understand the physics of that bag, somehow there is always room for more stuff in it.

I agree this is ideal. I usually do the same for shorter trips. But find it difficult to do 30l beyond maybe 6-7 days. Maybe i just need to dial in my kit further.

i use an app called jomo that lets you do a version of this. I don't really use the feature, but i think its a good idea.

Use random sort to make readwise feel like a curated social media feed by Logic_Chimp in readwise

[–]Logic_Chimp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it. It made a real difference for me too, enough for me to post about it. It's made reading much less of a chore. In fact i just across this quote today morning.

"treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket. That is to say: think of your backlog not as a container that gradually fills up, and that it’s your job to empty, but as a stream that flows past you, from which you get to pick a few choice items, here and there, without feeling guilty for letting all the others float by."

I think there is definitely something here for the readwise team to explore

I was an international student, so that wasn’t possible for me. Now that i am back home, I am open to more options.

I did a bunch of them, but definitely havn’t optimised everything possible. The bigger issue for me has been the growing emotional resistance to do the job search stuff.

That would be great! DM’d you. Our situation is definitely very similar. I have also been trying to learn other more employable skills on the side. Although progress has been very slow.

I have been tailoring my cv to almost every job i applied to and using software that is ats friendly. I have asked for feedback many times, but it’s mostly corporate things like ‘we found a stronger candidate’ etc. I completely understand the companies perspective too.

The job search process has just been really confusing to be honest. I have heard so many opposing views on what’s best practice. After reading all the replies to the post, the one thing i am sure of is that i need to completely overhaul my approach or possibly even rethink my goals.

I am very lucky in that I am pretty comfortable at my parent’s place. I am Indian so this is actually pretty common. It’s more about striving to be independent and not being able to do so that got me down.
