^Cheers, about 2 years all in all :p

The bag is working well even though this years travels have been a little more limited than normal but I'm hoping to take it to Japan later this year.

Why aren't you coming in May, @Tempvs?

[Tempvs]

I'd love to come in May but I won't be well enough to travel that far by then. I'm hoping in the next few weeks to start making a few small trips, then if that's Ok to start flying again.
Hoping to be fully mobile again by September then Japan here I come.

Sorry to hear that, @Tempvs. Yourself and @Madame Buttonfly will be missed.

Get better! Hopefully see you in November.

Hope you recover soon @Tempvs, otherwise we're going to be short of a decent watch collection to ogle.

Nice rucksack BTW.

@Snowy, glad to hear that you finally sorted out a new backpack.

Waiting for this, just shipped:

Trakke Arkaig.

So after over thinking it too much I decided I didn't want a backpack on the subway everyday. Found a good deal on a chrome mini metro in olive so I've gone for that, expecting it to arrive next week.

Bedouin have just released the Pequod, a hybrid rucksack and duffel. It looks like a fantastic bag for travel.

[Anesthetist]

Looks complicated, but I like it.

I am huge fan of Bedouin (my Delireis is going on a trip with me today) and while the new duffle looks cool I would need to see it in person first. The backpack straps don't look much different than my Delireis (width and padding). I'd also be concerned about the weight of the bag too. All that said, Silas knows what he doing so I'm sure it is nice.

Its also 40 litres. Which is exactly why I am tempted by it.

Yes, a perfect travel size.

Bag Jack from Berlin. Great quality and quite low key.

Their Next Level Messenger. Great choice. Big fan of the Bagjack stuff. Had one of their circdisc covers for the ipad and it was spot on.

60 and 90 litres

Will compliment my 110 Ortlieb…

Guys with Filson bags: are they really worth it?
I've been looking at this new medium sized duffle from Filson and I'm trying to decide if it's worth the asking price.
I saw it in person today and it was a bit cheaper than online, and figured I might bite the bullet and buy it soon.
Looks like it would be the ideal size for a few days on the road and the quality felt pretty nice to boot.

I've owned two field bags, a zip tote, a rucksack, and a small duffel over the years. IMO, my old Filson stuff is better made. The leather was more more flexible and the twill felt better. They still make good bags, but they aren't as good a bargain. This is my small field bag from around 2002:

Carryology are opening a concept store in Melbourne. :o

They'll be carrying all of the usual suspects: Bedouin Foundry, Trakke, Mission Workshop, Mystery Ranch, Côte&Ciel, Teranishi, QWSTION, Makr, Lexdray, GORUCK, Gregory, Rivendell Mountain Works, RAWROW, Alchemy Equipment, Tanner Goods…

There goes my disposable income.
