itt tracer teaches you how to be a man.
(on weekends and in evenings sometimes I can get it together enough to not take a bag with me. walking around the city without one feels goddamn luxurious.)

idk I just feel like when the apocalypse comes or aliums attack or the rain of toads happens, I'll be happy that I have my bag full of stuff that everyone thinks is so 'useless' or 'nonessential' or 'ugly'
good luck with yr pockets tracer

whenever I do carry a real bag, I just wind up with, like, four books that I'm not even reading, a bunch of papers I'm not working on, random crumpled up papers and receipts, an umbrella when it's not raining, etc. I guess I could just clean out my bag more often, but no, fuck you.

yeah I'm kind of a 'what if I need this' packrat
every now and then I'll simply things and pare down my purse to only the essentials and then a week later I'm back to a halfton load again

this could work as a camera bag, but it's pretty expensive. could just also make one?
this is a p cool backpack, too, but hella big http://www.trakke.co.uk/product/krukke

just noticed ol' bill isn't even using a camera strap at all. I would be guaranteed to drop the camera at some point using that method.

I inherited this Swiss Gear backpack from my kid last year and thankfully one of the main zippers has shit the bed. I hated this goddamn thing so much.

I think the secret is to buy sporty backpacks ie ones specifically made by athletic brands, like I have two identical adidas backpacks that I really love & I think are p fly
― johnny crunch, Friday, 14 October 2016 12:20 (seven years ago) link
I need external water bottle pockets, but I don't really need any other kind of pocket, is my deal. I carry a book or two, a small lunch, and over-ear headphones. Sometimes some paperwork.

Whereas my current Jansport doesn't have enough different pockets. There is no such thing as enough different pockets for me.

i like the look of these, though they are aggressively trendy and expensive
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Friday, 14 October 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
those look ok and less than what i just spent. :|
the strap on my giant digital-dj backpack ripped in two, and duct tape is only working to hold it together temporarily. i'm not going to sew it together right now, i don't have the time or the stuff or the skills. i really should learn how to do that. anyway i ordered a new backpack from amazon yesterday. it took two hours of looking and caused way too much anxiety. there are a lot of ugly-ass bags out there. i ended up spending $50 more that i don't really have on a travel/gym under armour bag instead of going for the really inexpensive stuff with brand names like Vitalismo and Kaka.
it's got that under armour bro-core thing going on but i feel somewhat more confident i'll be happy with it
