    For the bike, love my chrome backpack.  Holds a ton of sh!t, rugged materials, built to last.  They have many more models available than when I bought mine.

    For work, I float at times, even to our other campus, and need all the tools of the trade on board, so I carry a Mobile Edge Messenger.  It too, holds a ton of sh!t and gets the job done.

    For hunting, this bag holds everything I need out in the timber and has a 2L reservoir.  A steal for $80.00.  Badlands are badass, but couldn't justify the high pricetag.

    As far as EDC, I keep things minimal.  XDS45 in my pocket with an Alabama Holster.  Blackberry type phone which is smaller.  Kershaw Damascus Skyline, keys, and a Big Skinny wallet.

    I carry a backpack, not as nice as yours but pretty cool. It carries my laptop, charger, portable mouse, wallet, badge and make up essentials as needed. This girl must look good! And a carry a lunch bag from thirtyone cause i can't stand to pay tons of money for crap food.

    We have to carry our laptop etc home every night just in case some crazy client needs something immediately. Doesn't happen a lot but can.

    I carry a "bag" frequently.  It stays in my pocket and is just large enough to contain a .380 or a 9.

    Typical day in the office - pen, a snack or two, yeti tumbler, and CCW.

    The bag that stays in the car is the typical urban bug-out bag with gear and clothes, battery backups, etc. with an assortment of knives and other weaponry that goes bang bang.

    Yes I do.  A BedStu small messenger bag.  I don't like carrying stuff like old man fat wallets in my pockets.

    Screw any manly man who thinks I'm carrying a purse.

    Usually people carry "quarters" or "halves".  Don't go over an "oz".  My lawyer advised me not to.

    I carry a backpack to and from work, but that's about it. Laptop, various chargers, my Kindle or actual book, maybe a magazine, minimum two different flavors of e-juice, a coupla mods, my rebuilding kit, and my lunch.

    My bag arrived yesterday.


    I have extra phone charger, a battery pack for phone, laptop, knife, headphones, toothbrush/toothpaste/floss, deodorant, extra pair of contacts, solution, extra pair of glasses, few pens, a pad, mini flashlight, bottle open, koozie, chapstick, ibprofen, Goodys, and lighter. I want to add a small thing of man wipes and few other little things to keep stocked. I also will put my Siggs in there each morning for water during day and put my lunch it it. I will keep my nasty bag for anytime I might need it. Probably add a pair of socks and boxers since there is room and never know when I might need (I travel for work and sometimes turns into an overnight trip when was not planned. Also good for going out to a friends house and having too much to drink and needing to stay)

    I will be using the bag for gym and BJJ so during those times I will remove laptop and put gi, towel, and wipes in there.

    it is also big enough to use for 2 nights or so when travelling so will get a lot of use there and it fits TSA regulations for carry one

    This will be pretty much my do everything bag. Keep a stock of essential things I need regularly and swap out things for situational. 

    I am sure over time I will add a few more things to keep in stock and I will adjust rotation more for weather and diff situations

    The bag itself is badass. Has a lot of room (and they have a larger model) and looks good. The hemp material should keep it long lasting and fairly clean.

    I don't carry it everyday. But I keep my book bag packed like this at all times. Makes it easy to grab when I'm doing something out of the norm or traveling.

    • Extra chargers for all my devices.
    • Notepad in leather folding binder
    • Pens, pencils, highlighters, and markers. (including dry erase)
    • Graphing calculator
    • AA,AAA,9v batteries
    • Small doc bag (toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shave cream, deodorant)
    • Simple first aid kit
    • Random book (whatever I'm reading)
    • Folding multitool and a nice pocket knife (front pocket easy to remember and grab if I'm flying so I don't end up having to toss it)
    • Carabiner with about a hundred feet of parachute cord wrapped tight around it (random gift in a stocking one year)
    • Wallet with an extra ID and $100 cash and a cc I don't use often in case I lose my main wallet
    • A pair of lightweight shorts, a pair of boxers and T-shirt
    • Then I just throw in my phone, laptop, tablet etc.

    Mostly this stuff has just accumulated this way. Some of it was when I got into thinking about a bug out bag.

    I forgot to mention I will keep whatever book I am reading (currently finish short stories of ernest hemingway then Blood Meridian is next) and I have my Bible in there. A simple 1st aid kit would be a good idea and the carabiner.

    Like a shoulder bag or book bag. What do you carry in it? 
    Pain med? Pen and paper? Knife? Laptop? 

    Not a bug out bag or anything. But an EDC office or urban type. Just day to day stuff you carry and things you have for small daily emergencies.

    I just ordered this: http://www.dsgear.com/products/bpc 

     
    @FanOfFanboys  - that is what my wife is for you p$$$$$.     Sorry, couldn't resist.  :)
    @4Runner I tried to use your wife to carry my stuff but it just did not work out

    So far it is very comfortable, seems incredibly well built, has plenty of pockets and storage. Several net pockets within other pockets as well.
