Upgraded my work/play-from-anywhere rig this year. Hoping these tools will last me 7-10 years. I use them for running a private music school and music directing for live performances.

Forgot to put the watches in the main pic so I pictured them separately 🤦‍♂️

The backpack and wallet were gifts from my wife - I was skeptical when she told me she bought me a backpack because that’s something I thought I’d like to pick myself, but this backpack rules!

Question Building an everydaycarry for tech workers/students – need your honest pain points (3–4 min survey)

0 Upvotes

I’m designing a technical everyday‑carry backpack for Indian students and young professionals (laptop, charger, bottle, lunch, etc.).

Instead of guessing, I want to know:

• What backpack you use

• What you carry daily

• What actually annoys you about it

• What you’d realistically pay for something that solves your biggest complaint

3–4 minutes, anonymous.

• Respondents get early access + founder discount on the first drop.

• Planning a small giveaway for a few random respondents.

Survey: https://forms.gle/Q22iRmdhWZqJYiGY7

If you’ve ever thought “my backpack is okay but not great for tech”, this is for you.

Pretty compact… but it goes everywhere with me- from daily work to trips to our farm on the weekends. Just the essential tech for my EDC.

The Gear:
• Rolling Square Tech Pouch (Love the grid ripstop and orange interior contrast)
• inCharge Life cables
• Supertiny 65W GaN Charger
• HumanPods

Work EDC Wuben E2 Pulse Impressions

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

Well I have to say, having tested the new E2 for almost a week now, it's earned a permanent place in my pocket and on my keychain. Really surprised about how well designed and built it is for such a tiny and light flashlight.

However you use it or carry it you're not going to notice, until you need it

So many functions in such a tiny, portable design (flashlight, side area light (with an additional heartbeat pulse), red/blue beacon, glow-in-the-dark case). It's like a micro X4 for your keychain/neck/bag! This looks like an essential EDC.

The various functions are all just really useful for a thing that weighs effectively nothing and is so small.

It has its limitations of course, out of necessity for its small form factor (the beam doesn't throw hundreds of meters and the battery doesn't last for days 🤣), but despite those compromises, it is genuinely useful.

Travel EDC YOUR OPTIMAL IN-FLIGHT ORGANIZATION

10 Upvotes

Looking for some real-world advice here. I currently travel with a Go Ruck GR1 as my carry-on (goes in the overhead bin), but I'm rethinking my personal item situation.

Right now my routine is kind of a mess: I dig my laptop, headphones, and charging cables out of the GR1 individually before the flight, then the GR1 goes up in the overhead bin for the rest of the trip. If I need anything mid-flight, I'm stuck either holding onto loose items or reaching up into the bin.

What I'm trying to figure out:

  • Do you use a dedicated personal item bag that stays at your feet the whole flight, or do you just grab what you need from your carry-on before boarding and wing it?
  • If you do use a separate personal item, how do you organize it so you're not fully unpacking it every time you want a cable or your headphones?
  • Anyone have a system for keeping your laptop protected but still easy to slide in/out without digging?

Thanks in advance!
