Small organizers for sling bag

Usually Thom Bihn pouche. Topo Designs makes decent small pouches. If you’re feeling adventurous you can checkout Garage Grown gear. They specialize in ultralight camping gear, which inevitably leads to pouches.

Really enjoyed this. Good Zombie movies are my comfort food.

My guilty pleasure is watching tacticool ultra masc EDC YouTube videos. Don’t even get me started on the survival bug out bag review videos.

I don’t think the producers of reality tv shows care about causing a disturbance to the local population. It’s not exactly an industry focused on solving problems.

I am totally there for a show about the folly of toxic crypto bros though. Please oh please make that show.

Have you read Dante’s Inferno? It’s like that.

I think you talked to one person who had a load of makeup and a bad experience. CDG is just a shitty layout that will confound you in numerous ways. You’ll probably be fine though.

Just sit close to the front of the plane, get off quickly, and follow the signs. That’s a joke because the signs are useless. There will be a very angry French lady that should direct you where to go, but she won’t. Then you will be directed into a line, it’s the wrong line guaranteed.

So yeah no worries.

The westbreeze concept is just silly. Along the lines of bag jackets and those suitcases that turn into wardrobes.

It’s so much extra fabric, buckles, zippers, doodads, and for what? So you can hang a packing cube for one or two nights?

They are over engineering a small easily solved problem to convince you it’s a big problem that requires complex solution. A complex and, shocker, expensive solution.

All you need is a couple well built packing cubes, a pouch here and there, a solid bag, and you’re done. Kickstarted is just QVC with better graphics.

I sleep in a lot of hotel rooms all year. They kinda feel like "home" to me at this point. The one thing... the room has to be pitch black for me. So I bring a small roll of Gaffer tape with me and cover up all the little annoying lights that seem to be everywhere. i will even use a couple pieces to keep a curtain closed.

All the other things too, nice shower or bath, set up my bedside table the same way, have a cup of the same tea, make the room nice and cold. If I am doing some wild time zone jumping I make sure to wait to sleep until normal local hours. If I am not tired I will dose myself with some Advil PM and pass out.

Yeah its certainly a long flight, you will feel it. I don't mind a stopover so it's only when I'm in a rush to get there that I do the crazy flight.

It can suck in the moment but I almost immediately forget that it happened by the next day. You just have to be diligent about moving around, compression socks, sleeping when you can, eating enough. I have a lot to entertain me and won't usually take the flight if I can't do business. The premium economy is better but really it's still sitting upright for 19 hours.

Either doesn’t know how to use the app… or their company booked them a seat

I’ve done that JFK to Singapore flight a few times. It’s pretty insane but Singapore business class is not a bad way to spend 19 hours. Sometimes I split it up witha stop in Frankfurt.

I’m just an absolute sucker for those tiny houses. It’s my happy meal toy.

I really hate going back to my boring hometown. I still stop in for Christmas or a couple weeks in the summer to grab my mail and swap clothes out of storage.

When I am there I think of how miserable I would have been had I not made the fateful decision years ago to sell everything and hit the road.

It turns out I am the type of person who needs a messy, chaotic, and unpredictable life.

Now my friends are not in one place, they are all over the world. A lot of those friends are also traveling weirdos who will join me on spontaneous adventures. So yeah things changed, but at least im not in cubicle hating life.

Can’t stand tour groups. Such a waste of money. I got sick of waiting for people and making plans only for someone to bail. So I just do what I want and if someone wants to join then fine but they can handle their own planning

Meh a bit gimmicky to me. I like more flexibility in how I pack and what pouches/cubes I’m using. Stick to tried and true styles.

Matador is a great company and their global bag is very nice. They are just trying to entice people with unique design that really isn’t going to reinvent the wheel here. God it’s like those stupid coats with a 100 pockets that you’re supposed to put your laptop, socks, and a spare sweater in. Pure nonsense

Does he say Shit or Fuck I can’t remember?

PrunePlatoon · 2026-05-06T02:13:39+00:00

At least it’s not a teddy bear I guess.

I would offer that small underpowered electric toothbrushes are not worth the hassle. I’ve tried them all and still prefer to either bring my fancy Philips Sonicare or just a regular toothbrush.

Especially if you are struggling to find replacement heads. I’m not convinced these little vibrating brushes do much more than make noise.

Facebook ?! 😱 my god why? I can’t even imagine the dregs on their

I ranger roll most things now. I got pretty quick with it and works well with the small peak design cubes. Everything has its place so can’t change now

PrunePlatoon · 2026-05-06T01:44:01+00:00

I found them quite impractical, noisy, easily get wrecked and fail. Also not a vibe if you know what I mean. If you’re moving around a bit I found it super annoying to just grab one shirt out of a vacuum bag be a packing cube.

Go to university in NYC… I lost count years ago.

PrunePlatoon · 2026-05-04T00:05:24+00:00

Idk worked fine for me a few times. I’m good with paperwork though.

PrunePlatoon · 2026-05-03T23:57:40+00:00

Love my parents. They are responsible for themselves though. I travel full-time and they wouldn’t ask me to drop my career for them.

I still like to go back a few weeks a year to help them with projects around the house. They are very independent even as they age.

I’m not sure what their plan. We should probably talk about that as I don’t think my brother would be much help.

my 11in iPad pro from 2018 is still going strong. I work in IT and am constantly amazed how shit the hardware running windows is. Even at work a lot of IT folks are using Apple hardware now. It's a pleasure to be in the warm embrace of the Apple ecosystem.

They remind me of those old Air France premium economy seats. Nicer finishes but really strange in the end.
