hey everybody and welcome to the video
this is josh here and today we're going
to be taking a look at what's in my tech
bag for those of you that might not be
aware i live in portland oregon and i've
been car free for
about four years now and in addition to
youtube i'm a freelance
videographer and photographer so my work
is constantly changing locations so i
have to be ready to go
at a moment's notice this year i'm using
the aer tech pack 2.
it's the follow-up to my all-time
favorite tech bag the tech pack
one they've made a few fine tune
adjustments this year that i've been
really happy with i'll be sure to link
the full review down below
starting off with the back compartment
we have my workhorse computer this is
the 2018 macbook pro
i've had it for over two years now and
is still going
strong i would love to upgrade at some
point but i think i can still get
a few more years out of this as we're
getting into this you'll see that i
don't have a ton of upgrades or changes
from the previous year
i feel like i really have everything
dialed in
in the main compartment i keep my field
notes notebook it's a
grid notebook this doesn't see a ton of
frequent use but it is invaluable when i
need it
i'm often using my phone as a secondary
wireless monitor or i'm in client
meetings where i don't want to look rude
by typing on my computer
or my phone to pair with the notebook i
have the uniball
jetstream 1.0 it's the left-handers
dream pen i've talked about this thing
before
it's quick drawing while still
maintaining that inky look
this is my wallet it's made by shinola
i've had it for about five years now
still
in excellent condition the patina on the
leather continues to improve with
age i'm looking forward to seeing what
the decades to come
look like next i have my dongle this
is the hyperdrive usbc dongle
it has all of the different ports i need
with the hdmi port the sd
and mini sd card slots along with usb-a
and usb-c ports this is an invaluable
part of my workflow during this awkward
transition
into usbc my battery of choice remains
to be the anker powercore
slim it's a 10 000 milliamp battery
still
one of the best rated capacities per
weight
i use this for backpacking and camping
as well as my city travel
from there i have my kindle paperwhite
this is still the first generation
still going strong still working
perfectly for my needs
lately i've been reading a ton of books
about bartending and making cocktails
it's been my newfound indoor hobby
through 2020.
i'm not carrying too many cables on a
daily basis with me as batteries
continue to improve but i do still carry
a lightning cable to charge my phone and
headphones
along with my macbook pro charger if i
don't want to use my power bank to
charge my phone or headphones i can
actually plug the lightning
cable directly into my macbook pro brick
i've shifted things around a bit in my
water bottle holder i have some quick
access
hygiene items i keep my mask this was
from settle myers a local company here
in portland oregon really great deal it
was two masks for about 10 bucks
they've held up really well for me in
solid black just like i like
along with that i have a little bottle
of hand sanitizer that i refill from a
bulk bottle i picked up earlier in the
year
from there we have my 32 ounce hydro
flask this thing is
incredible and will last me many years
to come i never like leaving the house
without knowing i have something to
drink with me
still a member of the hydro homies over
on reddit
and speaking of water we have my rain
jacket this is the marmot
precip it actually folds up into its own
pocket into this nice small container
this doesn't come out with me very often
during the summer months but in portland
you need it for
most of the year i also always keep a
reusable bag with me this was just
a thrifted canvas bag i never know when
i'm walking on foot if i'm gonna have to
run to the grocery store
or if i have any sort of overflow items
from my
outing lately i've been bringing my
camera out with me
just to capture some of the unique
things that have been happening here in
2020. the camera cube i'm using is brand
new it's from moment's new travel wear
collection
i would highly recommend it i'll be sure
to leave a link if you'd like to check
it out
it's a little bit of a sturdier shell to
protect your items a little bit further
inside of the cube i keep a couple of
lenses along with my camera
my two favorite photography lenses are
the zeiss battis
85 and the f2 40 millimeter
both excellent and i would highly
recommend them i
also keep a waterproof camera housing in
case
of a sudden downpour if i'm out taking
photos
this is really great for nature and
hiking photography
along with a few photo gigs i've had
with some sudden rain
for outdoor shoots i also always keep a
few business cards with me you never
know who you're going to run
into so i like to have those on hand to
pass out if
and when they're needed one of the
unique parts of this camera cube is you
have little filter inserts in the
dividers
i keep a couple of filters with me one
is a quarter
black pro-mist filter along with a
tiffin variable nd filter
in the top quick access sunglass pocket
i keep a few different items
this is just a handkerchief as someone
that suffers from allergies i love
having this
saves on you know wasteful tissues and
all
of that sort of thing and it's much more
pleasant on your nose
i also keep my air pods with me i've had
these for i think about three years now
still going strong
still working perfectly no degradation
in the battery or anything like you hear
from a lot of folks
i also always keep a microfiber cloth
with me for my glasses
and electronics very handy if i have a
dirty screen going into a client meeting
for my laptop but mainly just to keep my
glasses nice and clean that is going to
be it for the bag though really nice
simple carry only the items that i use
and need on a regular basis
i hope you all enjoyed this one and i
would love to hear what your current
setup is what your favorite bag
is any items that you would highly
recommend for me
i'd love to hear that down below in the
comments thank you all so much for
watching and for your support
i'll talk to you in the next one
you
