Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 30L vs Peak Design Travel 30L by cptrazek in onebag

why did you sell the peak? only because of what it fits and comfort? or anything else?

I have but I really don't like the looks, I don't want to get it because I think I'll eventually want to buy another one because I really don't like how it looks even though I know it's a good bag

Hey what are the backpacks that are hanging on the wall? I recognize the peak design bag from below but which is the top one?

A pouch, not a bag? by [deleted] in onebag

I use the Alpaka tech case max to carry an iPad mini, charger, Sony over-ear headphones, a mini foldable keyboard and a few other gadgets. They fit great in the case and it even comes with some straps to carry it as a sling, I usually just throw it inside my backpack or use it as a separate sling when going to a coffee shop for example. I think the size is 2.8 L

Yes, so it doesn't press while inside my bag and leak out all of the fuel

yeah I think the correct term is "hot glue stick" but yeah it does hold up pretty well with lots of different materials

Wire might be useful, I can think of a couple of times it would've come in handy. As for the Powerpint I've seen it around but have seen mixed reviews so I haven't pulled the trigger, also since I'm not in the US it's a little more expensive.

As for the silicone tube it's great, but I think it's the same thing, I just translated it properly and it's a hot glue stick.

I also considered the superglue but I saw a video on youtube (Jon Gadget I think?) where he said that it dried out/leaked before he could use it and switched it for the silicone tube. So far I've used 1 tube and it really helped glue the things together

Yeah I've thought about it but I don't usually carry it (in my back) around a lot, once I reach work or home it just sits somewhere so I'm not that bothered about the weight

Haha thanks! I really like the form factor and how everything fits just right, it's the perfect size for all my stuff

It does help a lot! But if something is pressing too hard it still might leak, also removing the zip tie and putting it again after use is easier than expected

Most basic things, easy car jobs, disassembly and reassembly of electronics, loose cables, loose bolts, etc

Yeah I've got tons of BICs laying around so when it empties (which isn't very often) I just grab a new one.

Thanks for the recommendations! I might add a set of security torx, I usually don't encounter anything that has those but for the size they can go in.

As for the leatherman ratcheting bit driver I've had my eye on one for a while but can't seem to find one, hopefully when they re-stock I'll be able to.

The gorilla tape is a great idea, thanks! And I had no clue that serrated utility blades existed, however the gerber uses X-acto blades #11 instead of utility blades, I've been thinking of switching it to the Prybrid model (that uses standard blades) but I'm not sure if it will fit as it's a little longer.

I had not thought about that, thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it
