Following my review of the Slot Backpack, i figured it was only appropriate to show what is part of my daily loadout, as a Husband, Dad, IT (semi) Professional, and most immodestly, Aventurier.

This loudout will get me through any basic urban day, with enough power and cables for anything I need to do. Toss some extra clothing in, toothbrush/toothpaste, and I have an overnighter/several nights without having to think about it.

Things I am missing? Some sort of rain protection, whether it be a jacket or small umbrella. Some sort of emergency food, like a cliff or protein bar. A torch. Some emergency medication like Panadol and nurofen. EDC is always a work in progress.

But who doesn’t love a flat lay?

EDC Loadout:

Backpack:

Slot Canyon 26L

Straps:

Carabiner

Heroclip

Peak Design Capture Clip V2

Top zipper compartment:

Randolph Engineering Aviators in Rose Gold - Beautiful sunglasses. But I am a sunglasses whore as much as a bag one, so one pair will never be enough

Apple Airpods Pro - Three years on, and still the best in-ears money can buy (if you are part of the Apple ecosystem)

Apple Watch Ultra 1 - The fitness watch for not hardcore fitness people

Orbitkey Key Organiser Crazy Horse

Hydration insert:

Apple iPad Pro 11 w. Magic Keyboard - 2020 model, dropped, cracked screen, but still going strong. I reckon I will get ten years out of this before I feel I need to upgrade. I had the 12.9 inch, but just never used it as it was too big and heavy.

Front Inside Compartments:

Angus Barrett Leather Card Holder - bought in Tamworth, NSW

Mini pack of tissues

Apple Pencil 2

Asthma Puffer

Deodorant

Sunscreen

Main Compartment:

Miir Waterbottle x % Coffee Shop Hong Kong - I bought this for my wife, but she could tell I reallllllly loved it so she let me keep it, and bought herself one twice the size
