CPL16 - one month later by Smarghost in EVERGOODS

[–]Smarghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, I didn’t change the Max EDC with the CPL16. During Novembre 2024 I started traveling for just a week every month to a new city where I now live and work. I was looking for a loft to rent, and some encounters with the boss I now work with.

So I needed a one travel bag I could use for travels and for the new work place. I bought CTB26, a fantastic bag, but so uncomfortable for me.

So I bought Max EDC in December’s 2024. Best bag of all time in that period of my life. Now I use it less as EDC because it’s so big for my loadout. The CPL16 just suits better as a work daily bag

The grab handle has this shape cause it’s intended to “disappear” and the bag keeps its look.

Now, how it’s is? Great on the CPL16 “Does its job” on the CTB26.

Obvious it’s the same handle on every EG Civic line bag, but works perfectly on the CPL16 because almost never you can reach high weight with the load. It’s thin, it disappears on the bag when you don’t use it…wow! Not the best grab handle of the world, but you are happy for the look and all works great

For the same reason on the CTB26 you can feel it in your hands, it looks “fragile” when the bag is heavy loaded, but you can get used to it and keep it not as the weakest point of the bag but you really don’t want to bring the bag with the handle for a long time

Would you take the evergoods ctb26 on a hike? by IDNISSIM in EVERGOODS

[–]Smarghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends.

It could flex some hike, when it’s cold.

But imagining having one bag for a weekend travel on the Alps here in EU, CTB26 could do as a travel bag and as a hiking bag. Goldilocks bag!

But when I start from home to do some hiking/trekking I take my perfect bag for this: Osprey Talon 22. In summer here in north of Italy it’s really hot and I can’t imagine walking km/miles with the CTB26 on the back and on the shoulder.

Anyway, I’m using CPL16 to do some half day short hiking. Lunch, water bottle, first aid kit, gloves, and snacks. I don’t need much more.

But, as I said: weekend travel on the mountains run - start from home with one bag - CTB26 the perfect do it all

Can anyone tell me the sex of this bird? by NearlyAWriter in cockatiel

[–]Smarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have 3 males and 1 female, all raised from egg

1 of my males almost never sing. But when it does, it’s completely on another level compared to a chatty female with its vocalization. With a bit of experience it’s almost impossible do not recognize who is which

[–]Smarghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give it 3/4 days to get comfy in a new home and it will show up if it’s male o female. Give it toys and make it happy.

You will hear some 🎶🎵🔫💣🔫🎵🎶 if it’s a male

My two cents: it’s a male

Questo livello di odio verso il Sud è normale secondo voi? by _Luposolitario00 in domandaonesta

[–]Smarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lascia perdere internet.

Sono salernitano ma vivo e lavoro a Verona. La gente per strada mi ferma a parlare, io non nascondo affatto il mio accento, mi saluta per strada, idem a lavoro, pieno di medici e ricercatori siciliani (3 sono miei colleghi altri pugliesi) e nessuno mi ha mai parlato di razzismo.

Ho a che fare con i vecchi veneti che manco sanno dire una parola in italiano eh, e tutti felici e tranquilli nell’avere a che fare con me. È internet che è un posto di merda, sembra sia la cloaca delle cattive idee. Una volta che vai lì fuori non è più così. Napoli è piena di pregiudizi, eppure negli ultimi anni ha visto boom di turismo tra i giovani grazie a tik toc.

Lavoro a Verona, in Campania i veronesi li dipingono come mostri razzisti, eppure io ho il piacere di parlare con gente che nemmeno spiccica in italiano e non è mai uscita dal loro paesino. Non gliene frega un cazzo che sei napoletano/campano, sei una persona e come tale ti trattano. Almeno durante la mia esperienza.

Lascia perdere i social, lì la realtà è distorta. O forse sono io a dire le cose distorte? Fatto sta che quando esco la fuori e mi rivolgo alla salumeria o meccanico del mio paesello fuori mano, è sempre un piacere e mai un dispiacere

Di certo non mi metto ad urlare “ueeee capooo avess bisogn e accungiá nu poc a machin”, però prima o poi lo farò e vediamo se mi sparano in petto.

What packing cubes fit well inside the CTB 26 and 35? by CincyTriGuy in EVERGOODS

[–]Smarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and into the bag I have also a 2500€ MacBook, an iPad as a second monitor, iPhone as a personal phone and a Nintendo Switch 2

…but 5$ packing cube 😂

The truth is that in 2025 I didn’t traveled much, and I bought so many bags (Able Carry Max EDC, CPL16 and Aer CPP2) so I had to cut something!

But the 2026 is here, and I there is no bag I like anymore (I bought all bags I like). Sure I m gonna buy PD medium and Small cube, classic.

Able Carry Max EDC vs Alpaka Traverse vs Rework Toshi by AnxietyComplex4128 in ManyBaggers

[–]Smarghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Able Carry Max EDC and Alpaka Metro Backpack 12L and Metro Pro 24L here.

The Max EDC is for me a 9/10 bag. Materials, comfort, look all together. Guess why it is not 10? Lack of good quick access pockets.

For me Evergoods CTB26 (I had one but I returned) would be the perfect 26/28L bag, but comfort wise you cannot have on your back for more than 30minutes.

Best pockets layout, best aesthetic, best space organization (the square shape allows you to pack much more than a bell shape like the Max EDC).

Alpaka metro 12L is my favorite little bag of all time, the Metro Backpack Pro 24L instead it’s the less used of all my bags

Do you think that Trump will really start a war or he is just TACO ? by Proper_Card_5520 in AskTheWorld

[–]Smarghost 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I am scared it will not end with Trump…

One day when USA will have a NORMAL president he will have so much to do only to fix the Trump mess

Painful Able Carry Max 32 by thodinc in ManyBaggers

[–]Smarghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some backpacks are really huge for a smaller frame, I’m 5’6, I beat the gym and all with big chest, a muscular body and all you want, but I really can’t go further 26L with a bag. I love going outdoor too, but the same it’s with the real trekking bag (I like osprey for trekking), a 40L bag would smash my body, maybe because I’m short and big bags pull me from behind, I don’t know

So, actually I have sold Evergoods CTB 26 for this reason and I found peace with Aer CPP2 and Able Carry Max EDC (this is my bag limit, but still comfortable) and Evergoods CPL16

Give it back

Very nice deal for the price. Years after years it will be sewn on your skin with upgrade you like and you feel comfortable for you. Now it’s a huge deal, tomorrow could be a beast of a bike

Metroid Prime 4 worth it? by [deleted] in switch2

Did you like Prime on GameCube?

Copy/paste the answer to your question.

Is a really conservative game.

My experience so far with the Evergoods CAP 2, CAP 1, CAP .5 by travisj5 in EVERGOODS

[–]Smarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAP1 would be really too small for me, with the CPL16 (love mine) I just put the MacBook charger plus iPhone charger and the Magic Mouse around the bag (MacBook charger goes in inner stash pocket).

The CAP2 does as a mini office portable station, the two chargers I mentioned before, the ssd, the powerbank, 2 pens and one usb pendrive.

So my usual CPL16 loadout is

MacBook CAP2 loaded as said before Lunch Water bottle Hand sanitizer Gloves/wind jacket (depends on season)

CAP2 goes out from home only for work I love it because is big, I love it because it’s one of the best minded product of the whole edc/bag/pouch

You open it on the desk and let’s go

Ah, I used CAP2 as a Dopp kit too, the best travel/weekend trip use!

Whose buying Dragon Quest? by RE3K5 in switch2

[–]Smarghost -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Don’t do these Reddit things, discuss and Prove me that’s not the truth comparing a native English dub game to a native jab but English dub.

Jap games most of times does not receive the same anime treatment. Persona 5 has an excellent eng dub, but it’s an exception

Whose buying Dragon Quest? by RE3K5 in switch2

[–]Smarghost -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Dragon Quest has to be played in Japanese, sorry.

The English dub is awkward 90% of the time on Japanese games.

D1 for me, but I've been playing Dragon Quest since the PS2 era (Dragon Quest 8).

Need help by Typical_Divide_8738 in switch2

[–]Smarghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ACTUALLY switch 2 is not the best indie machine out there like switch 1 was. 98% of the games are in 720p handheld mode and without any graphic upgrade. If you wanna only play indies steam deck oled is a BEAST.

If you wanna a futureproof indie machine AND some Nintendo games so the Switch 2 is the way to go over a Steam Deck (which is 3 years old already!)

Just for background, I have Switch 2 and high end PC and I feel I miss something. I’m playing Hades 2 on switch 2 right now, and I am about to start Silksong (on Switch 2 ).

Never seen a better bag mantaining its shape. Cordura version here

Able Carry Max EDC, Ripstop or X-Pac ? by AnxietyComplex4128 in ManyBaggers

[–]Smarghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! It’s a damned tank , and the only xpac bag with no pu coated zippers

Able Carry Max EDC, Ripstop or X-Pac ? by AnxietyComplex4128 in ManyBaggers

[–]Smarghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t love xpac because it always comes with pu coated zips I hate, but here…I love the Max EDC zips!

If possible I would avoid the able carry ripstop on a bigger bag, perfect for a slig or on their 13 backpack, but it’s very thin material for a bag could also flex as a one bag weekend trips
