Bag Organizers
R. Emory Lundberg | Mar 18 2006
Today I ordered a fleet of WaterField/SFBags gear pouches, an iPod supercase, and a CableGuy. They seemed to the best way to compartmentalize my assorted junk in my bag. I usually have two bags in my rotation: the Boblbee for my daily grind and carrying around cameras, a laptop, overnight/weekend trips out of town, and another bag for just around town and general erranding. The problem is that this means I have to sort and file and assemble various bits and pieces. It is my hope that this will aid in my swapping, since I can just grab the appropriate pouches based on what I want. Anyone else tried these? Anyone else found another solution that is elegant/stylish and servicable? 13 Comments

It almost seems as if the best bag configuration would be similar to those Russian dolls that sit inside each other. There'd be a big bag with all stuff and then a crucial bag inside that you could take out and with you when running stealth missions for Eris. I do that, actually. I do precisely that. I have a big (size: Large, not those 'medium' ones you usually see around) timbuk2 messenger bag. In the large bag there is If I want to leave behind my big bag, like at my office, and want to walk around, it takes 2 seconds to take out the flip-top bag and i'm assured that all important things are in there. I'll let you in on a secret: i think of my bag--broadly defined, as this evolving modular thing--as my 'droid. You know, it follows me around and keeps track of things for me. Sometimes I even call it "R-0.1 beta". You know, it's like not at a full version number yet. Certainly not like "R2" or something. » POSTED IN:
