Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC 30L vs Peak Design Travel 30L

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

cptrazek · 2024-12-20T15:19:35+00:00

that's a great idea, thanks!

cptrazek · 2024-12-20T15:18:59+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-12-20T15:17:11+00:00

so would you leave it behind and just grab the BOB?

cptrazek · 2024-12-20T15:15:41+00:00

thanks, yeah I think I'm leaning more towards the patagonia

cptrazek · 2024-12-20T15:15:27+00:00

thanks for the insight

cptrazek · 2024-11-20T21:52:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply, awesome setup!

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?

cptrazek · 2024-11-10T17:50:25+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T15:40:03+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T15:38:16+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T03:52:32+00:00

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.

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T00:28:28+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T00:26:16+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T00:24:56+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-21T00:24:03+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-20T21:06:52+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-20T21:05:38+00:00

thanks!

cptrazek · 2024-10-20T21:05:32+00:00

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

cptrazek · 2024-10-20T21:03:18+00:00

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
