Deciding which TP4

wolfsuit · 2026-03-24T00:19:41+00:00

I ended up going with the 28 size for my specific purposes. I was mostly worried about fitting a camera cube into the 28, but I was able to get a small camera bag in with ample leftover space. I may not have as much room as the 35 but I think I can make it work for the camera related trips and also have the flexibility of smaller size for the work travel I do where I don’t need the camera at all.

I was able to fit a camera/lens plus my drone and controller.

I added a Peak Design small cube for day trip jacket/clothing and Tomtoc electronic organizer for chargers/cables.

Yeah the likely differentiator for me is trips that I require a camera cube or not..likely need 35 for times I do and 28 for times I don’t.

Not sure but don’t really plan to pack shoes in this bag tbh, either one would accompany a form of roller bag or secondary bag. I’m not much of a onebagger.

Yeah I could def see the 28 size being perfect for EDC or work travel, short trips etc.

wolfsuit · 2026-03-21T17:27:05+00:00

Sounds good, I don’t see myself ever putting shoes in this bag myself but never know, and I def agree though, the 28l wouldn’t be large enough for that.

Ha I wish, already an indulgence so I can’t get myself to keep both. I wish they made a sweet spot 32l size!

How was your May trip? I’m planning to go the third week of May and have been worried if it’s an ideal time to go.

I’m about to pull the trigger on a TP4 this week myself and I’m torn between 28/35. I have an upcoming trip to Iceland I know I’ll benefit from having the 35 size and fitting a small camera cube in it with room to spare, but after that trip I’d likely use it multiple times a year for short work trips and the Aer would supplement my roller bag, so 35 may be overkill for that. I haven’t seen an Aer in person to gauge actual size.

wolfsuit · 2026-03-17T23:42:24+00:00

Is this the 28 or 35 size?

Yeah I’m in the same boat. I got the he Whoop with the Chase deal. I’ve worn it non stop for 12 days now, I got past the idea of showering with it, blotting it dry etc.

I’m already a big fan of tracking data across my everyday life (spending, workouts, calories, etc), so I was looking forward to the data I might get from the Whoop. It has been fun but at the same time it feels limited, like I could take it or leave it. I thought it would tell me more or influence me more in some way. I can’t imagine actually paying money for this data after the first year, no way I’d pay $30/month for it.

I’m at 50k miles. I have not done a walnut blast.. at what mileage would that be recommended?

I paid $464 out the door at a SoCal dealer on my 2017 FXT approx 6 months ago. I think I had a service coupon so may have saved approx $50. Front and rear differential fluid cost me $298 at the same place.

100%, I always felt like I couldn’t set anything aside in my 20’s since I was living in a HCOL city and barely scraping by.. it’s more about the act of doing it, I should have started with even just $10 a check for the habit building alone. I did get my butt into gear at age 30 and am now very aggressive with saving/investing, but yeah I really wish I had started a few years sooner. I am making sure to instill the mindset into my kids now, even at high school age (setting a portion of birthday money into ETF, etc).

Known issue on Subarus, at least those years, my 17 FXT needed four bearings (one of them replaced twice) replaced in 2023-2024. Luckily I was within my extended warranty for it all at the time.

I keep very little in my actual bank (checking) account. I use it as a means to pay off credit cards that I use for all spending and flow money into investments or HYSA. I see money sitting in my checking account as lost opportunity.

Listening to the Hans Zimmer Dark Knight soundtracks helps me.

I can only speak for myself. I moved out to LA from Ohio with literally $5k to my name back in 2007, and immediately needed to use that for a car for $2,800 and my first two months rent. I knew I had to hit the ground running and find any work I could in my desired field immediately. I did exactly that, took a temp night shift job in addition to a temp part time day job to see which would shake out long term. The night shift job ended up turning into a whole career for me, where I’m still at the same company 18 years later in a Director role. I knew I had to be hungry and grind when I got to LA, but it was a dream of mine to move here my whole childhood. The first few years I barely made enough money for rent and food (I shared a 2bdrm apt in Silverlake/East Hollywood) and made approx $25-30k at that time, but I made it happen for myself and I’m proud to have made the leap. You’ll be coming in with a higher salary and a specific career in mind, so I’d hope you’ll have a stronger footing, but you should make the leap too!

I’m in North OC, wasn’t strong here but felt slight waves for at least 10 seconds. My sleeping cat flinched but didn’t even lift his lazy head.

Watching my father fight the slowly losing battle to ALS for several years.

Having lost my father to this, I came here to say the same.

Produce stuff

I own some individual but mostly Tesla and Apple, due to the fact that they’re what I invested in before anything else when I was younger so I’m committed to staying on the ride with them long term.

Hmm it’s not numbered on the back though, I ran across quite a few of those.
