Quick comparison of the Patagonia Mini MLC 30 and the Black Hole 32L backpack which are two of the most popular minimal travel bags I have featured over the past few years. Both have a versatile size and useful organization, but have a few similarities and differences which might make it difficult to decide which one might be best for you.

Review of the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L which is a durable and comfortable everyday carry bag that will work equally well in the city or the outdoors. The bag offers a minimal aesthetic and solid organization / laptop protection and is quickly becoming one of my favorite new bags of the year.

In this video we will be taking a look at the Knack Convertible Duffel now that I have had a couple of weeks to put it to real world use. Overall, the bag offers many of the same benefits of Knack’s previous offerings which include a professional aesthetic and the ability to expand and compress to work well for edc and travel. If you were a fan of Knack’s previous expandable backpacks and are looking for something more streamlined and that can hold a little more than this will be a great option to check out.

Review of the Mystery Ranch Blitz 30 Backpack which is a rugged 30L everyday carry bag that offers a great organizational layout and comfort. If you are a fan of Mystery Ranch bags and are looking for something with a tactical aesthetic and a clamshell opening this will be an excellent bag to check out!

In this video we will be unboxing and doing a first look at the recently released Knack Convertible Duffel. The new series introduces an updated look and a new organizational layout while keeping many of the things that made the original Knack Pack such a versatile bag. This will be a high level first look of the bag and I will be doing a more in-depth review in the future.

Review of the Recycled Firefighter 24hr Plus backpack which is one of the more underrated backpacks I’ve come across. The bag has a rock solid build quality, minimal aesthetic, and a dual clamshell layout that gives you a lot of flexibility and space for EDC and minimal travel. On top of that the bag is assembled in the US at a pretty reasonable price point. If you want something versatile and unique this will be a good one to take a look at!

Review of the Bellroy Venture 22L Backpack which is a stylish and versatile tech / everyday carry bag that offers a great build quality, flexible access to the main compartment, solid laptop protection and a useful organizational layout.

Review of the Solgaard Lifepack Endeavor (with Closet) which is an intriguing edc / tech bag that can expand to work as a travel backpack. Although the closet system leaves a bit to be desired the bag is packed with features and may be a great option for anyone who is looking for one bag that can do it all.

​Review of the Sympl Studios Weekender Backpack which offers a great build quality and weather resistance, a useful organizational layout, and a versatile size that works for EDC and minimal travel.

Review of the Aer City Pack Pro which has Aer’s well-known modern aesthetic and great build quality, along with some solid laptop protection and an updated organizational layout and harness system. If you were interested in the Aer Lunar Pack (a bag that checked off almost all of my dream backpack features), this will be a great option to take a look at as well!
