Hey everybody and welcome to the video, this is Josh here
And today I'm showing you a look at what's in my bag for those of you that don't know
I actually live in Portland Oregon and commute on foot to and from work. I've really focused on keeping a small
Minimal low-profile backpack with only the necessary items that I need on a day to day basis

I put out new videos every Monday and Friday
And please head down below and give the video like if you do enjoy. This helps me out a ton
So the backpack we have this year is the aer tech pack. I reviewed this probably about six or eight months ago
Now it has been my daily driver ever since I can hands-down say it is the most comfortable bag I've ever owned if you want
To hear any more about it. I'll be sure to link the review down below opening up this first compartment here
Is this is where I keep a lot of my small items. We have my phone. I'm currently using the iPhone 10
I've been caseless since last October. I've got a couple of Nicks and scratches on there, but still holding up
Well have I had to replace the screen yet? In addition to that? I also have my shinola wallet
I got a little bit of trouble in the comments last year for spending so much money on a wallet
But it will still last me at least another decade. I love repping
my hometown of Detroit. Up next here
We have my pen of choice. I've upgraded from the pilot g2 to the uniball Jetstream 1.0
Find out these pens work really great for left-handed writers
You get that nice inky look without smudging it all over your hands and all over your paper from here
I've got my macbook charger nothing too exciting there underneath in this bottom pouch
This is another change i've made recently. I used to have my big full bullet journal
I've started carrying just this small field notes notebook
I like having something to be able to write down on paper
Just in case I'm using my phone as a monitor when I'm filming we have the original Kindle paperwhite
This thing is still going strong for me
I am I was always hesitant to go bookless
But I've just been in love with this thing since I got it a few years back next up
I've got my power bank. This is the anker power core 2 slim
10,000 milliamp hour battery
charger
supports fast charging
Pretty straightforward here. This does the job
well
I always like to have this as a backup if any of my devices die when I'm out on the go
And up next here in this top pouch. This is where I keep a lot of my miscellaneous cables and power bricks
I've got my iPhone charger another power brick for the rest of my USB items
And then this is the samsung t5 portable SSD
I have the one terabyte option it goes up to 2 terabytes
I believe I can toss it and drop it and it basically won't break or corrupt my footage
It's a lot safer to carry around with me
And if you haven't noticed from the charger earlier, I have went USBC with the new 2018 macbook
I'll show you that in a minute, but I've got to live that dongle life. This is the hyper drive USB C hub
Pick this up with the macbook takes up two of my USB C ports
But you gain two of those back along with USB 3 and you also have an SD card slot and a micro SD
Card slot. So I actually have more ports on this then I used to have on my old laptop
I've only had it about a week but so far so good
Next up here. I've got a couple of charging cables micro USB and lightning and last up here
These are little USB 3.1 to USB C converters
These are small and light work exactly how they're supposed to not much else to say
Last up here. I've got my keys from my bike in my apartment and for work
Flipping up the bag. We have my 32 ounce hydro flask
I don't believe I had this last year, but I did upgrade to the straw lid. I love that these are all completely
interchangeable, so they have a lot of different lids and options where you can change these depending on what you need if you can see
To the tech pack holds a full liter bottle with ease
III could not recommend that hydro flask enough. It has been one of the biggest game changers for purchases
I've made in the last few years
And in this top pouch here, I've just got a spare handkerchief all my friends with allergies
I understand. You got to have somewhere to blow your nose, and I've got a microfiber cloth here along with my ray-bans
These are the matte black light force's another year still going strong got a few scratches on the lenses
But they hold up. Well last but not least. I have the Apple airpods
I actually got these as a
Christmas present this past year and they are as amazing as everyone says they are I'll just leave it at that great battery life
They're comfortable. I the closest thing to having Bluetooth speaker implants into my ears is I think exists right now in
2018 I am all for it. They've been wonderful. All right opening up the main laptop compartment for the bag here
Like I mentioned I just upgraded to the 2018 MacBook Pro
This is the full spec model without the biggest hard drive
I have been editing my 4k a7 3 footage on my old 2012 MacBook Pro for far too long
And I just really needed upgrade if I was ever going to survive those export times
Let me know down below if you guys do want to see a full review of the 2018 i9 MacBook Pros
Love to do one if you guys are interested from there, though
We have my zojirushi thermos talked about this thing last year again
Just like the hydro flask just an amazing game-changer. That thing will keep coffee piping hot from 6:00 a.m
All the way up to like 2 3 p.m. In the afternoon
Couldn't recommend it enough. It's also fully sealed so you can toss it in your bag without any worry of it leaking
It's nice plane minimal black. It is still serving me. Well, alright last up in this big compartment here
I have a camera bag insert now
I didn't want to completely change out my bag to make it fit my new a7 3 or any of the other items
Actually found this on Amazon for I think it was like 10 or 15 dollars
It'll hold two lenses and a camera body. And then also you still have a little bit of extra room for
Accessories or I have my sensor cleaner there
I also have my camera strap and a few filters
this thing just fits really nicely into the bag so I can take it out if I'm not bringing my camera gear with me but
I also have my camera gear secured if I do want to bring it
I also wanted to make sure and mention as well
There is enough spare room in the front of this bag to fit my Zhiyun crane
So it's technically not a camera bag
But it has been doing the job pretty well for me while still holding all of my other regular items
And there is one last back compartment here
I typically don't use this for very much other than a few backup accessory items
I have a hat and then I also have a waterproof cover a new backpack is actually water-resistant
But I like having my old waterproof covered to be able to put over other items if I have them in Portland
You never know when it's gonna rain. So you always want to be prepared last up
I have a reusable grocery bag if I have any sort of overflow with carrying things to and from work with my meal prep
I'll just throw everything in that bag and walk with it or if I'm stopping at the grocery store on my way home
I like having my bag with me if I can but that is everything. I hope you guys enjoyed this update for 2018
Felt like there are enough new and different items to justify. I'm also one year wiser for
Commuting on foot as to what I need and what I don't need I used to carry, you know
25 to 35 pounds on my back
So I've really downgraded quite a bit and it's made a big difference in how my back feels at the end of the day
