    Someone else reccomended the bag, and I really do like the functionality, but given the school settings I'll have to be in I have reservations about a tactical bag, especially one with a CCW pouch.

    It's probably a non-issue, but on the chance someone recognizes I don't want to be a source of stress, y'know?

    That's pretty much my use case. What's the issue with Fjallraven though? I'm not too familiar with them, I just know their prices make me cry when I'm at REI.

    That's such a familiar feeling and it's sort of what I've been doing for a while, though I just keep one on me. I wanted to look into getting a better one though, mostly waste and curiosity.

    This is one I've considered, but I've had the reservations since it's YouTuber mech and all. Also don't think my water bottle would fit in there, I've got this massive 40oz one that I've gotten...

    This is one I've considered, but I've had the reservations since it's YouTuber mech and all. Also don't think my water bottle would fit in there, I've got this massive 40oz one that I've gotten too used too to give up.

    I'm a big fan of the design in the leather one tbh. I don't think it fits my needs rn, but if I ever travel lighter than I usually do I'll have my eye on it.

    Wow, this sound great! That's pretty much everything I might carry, minus some of those tools. Honestly the weight might even be a good thing for me too, get some exercise while walking around...

    Out of curiosity is your job related to networking? I can't imagine too many other situations where a spool of cat6 could ever be a "just in case" situation.

    It's an interesting bag for sure. It doesn't look like it has any pockets tho, and I'm a big fan of pockets for organization. Do you find that to be an issue for you?

    that's quite the appealing option tbh. I'm guessing that it stands up to weather well from your previous comment about the material. Is there anything that bothers you about this backpack?...

    The only thing I really need is room for a 13" laptop and charger, everything else I can techncially go without. I'm a student, so a space for notebooks and a drink of some sort are very nice, but...

    The only thing I really need is room for a 13" laptop and charger, everything else I can techncially go without. I'm a student, so a space for notebooks and a drink of some sort are very nice, but not necessary.

    As an aside, while I'm not much into hiking backpacks my brother very much is, so I would be happy if you wanted to pass along any recommendations.

    I had no idea about MOLLE, It's cool that backpacks have a sort of standardized connection system. Are there any places you would recommend looking for MOLLE gear, or any specific bits of kit?...

    Recently I've found myself with my previous backpack running through its life, and its not something I'm confident I could repair myself. As such, I'm on the search for a new daily bag. I'm curious what others look for in a daily bag for work or school, and what options people like right now.
