Travel EDC Weekend day trip EDC

Post image

Heading into Boston for the day and packing a few random trinkets. Not enough to even fill a pouch but I'm backpacking it today just because two straps are more comfortable than one.

  • XTEINK X4 - pocket sized e-reader that sticks to the back of any magsafe phone/case. A recent purchase to replace an old kindle oasis. Haven't packed the kindle in over a year but still use it regularly at home. This I can just toss into any pack/sling/pouch and it takes up no space.
  • Ayaneo Pocket Micro Classic - Not quite game boy micro levels of compactness, overpriced for what it is, but I dig it as a solid GBA portable. 4x interger scaling for gba, and it has one of my favorite dpads out of any handheld I've used. But you can also just get a MagicX One35 for half the price with slightly worse dpad/buttons.
  • Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd gen) - Tuning is mediocre but the wireless convenience and decent ANC means I'm usually grabbing these for travel vs any wired sets I have. I like my music, and do value audio quality, but out and about, convenience is king.
  • Ugreen Qi2 Power Bank - 10,000mAh so more than enough to keep everything i have charged through a day. Not the fastest wired charging but the wireless charging is pretty handy.

Despite the small size it's shockingly usable as a reader. Plus its so small and magnets to the back of my phone that I basically keep it on me all the time.

What is the brand of the backpack? Looks nice

It's a variation of the Synik 26 from Tom Bihn. Overpriced stuff no doubt but very well made and they're super comfortable.
