hey everybody and welcome to the video
this is Josh here and today we're gonna
be taking a look at what's in my bag for
those of you that may be new around here
I'm a freelance videographer and
photographer living in Portland Oregon
I'm happy to say that as of this year I
am working from home full-time but I'm
often leaving my home office to meet
with clients or sometimes work remotely
with each passing year
I aim to carry as little as absolutely
possible with three years of commuting
on foot under my belt I've learned that
every ounce matters it's really taught
me lessons for what I need and don't
need on a day-to-day basis my current
bag of choice is the ISM classic
backpack I love this bag for the compact
size and the attention to quality in
detail it's a combination of nylon and
leather and unlike many other backpacks
this would not look out of place in a
corporate setting when I'm meeting with
my clients the bag is relatively new to
me but so far I've been really liking it
be sure to let me know down in the
comments if you'd like to see a full
review sometime in the future
starting off in the back compartment
here we have my laptop this is the
15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro I picked this
up last year because I needed something
more powerful to handle 4k video footage
and so far it has been absolutely
perfect for my needs not only does it
serve as my mobile editing laptop it is
my main desktop computer in my home
office in the back compartment I also
carry my Kindle this is the original
Kindle paperwhite have had zero
complaints with this and absolutely love
being able to carry my entire library in
such a compact space opening up the main
compartment here I keep my 32 hydro
flask
this takes up a significant amount of my
bag but all you hydro homies understand
you got to stay hydrated if you saw my
video last year I had started using the
straw lid attachment you can purchase
from hydro flask I was running into some
issues where it was leaking in my
backpack so I switched back to the
classic screw top
in this first pouch i keep my macbook
charger i also like to keep a notebook
with me this is great for client
meetings when i don't want to keep my
laptop out or look like i'm fiddling on
my phone while people are talking it
also works really well to take notes
when i'm filming and using my phone as a
monitor the notebook is an oregon themed
field notes designed by aran drap 'ln
check him out if you haven't yet and the
pen is the ultimate left-handers dream
it's the uniball jet stream 1.0 it
allows you to get that nice inky look
without smudging up your hands or your
notebook next up I have my battery bank
this is the anchor power core slim the
10,000 milliamp hour battery I picked up
a couple of years ago it works perfectly
and I really love it for the compact
size not only am i able to charge my
iphone with this but I can also plug in
my laptop if I'm in a location that
doesn't have power plugs also in this
top pouch here I have my hard drive of
choice this is the Samsung t5 portable
SSD since the past year I've actually
purchased a second one of these and this
is the two terabyte model this is my
main editing drive for all of my current
client and YouTube video projects not
only is it fast enough to handle 4k
speeds it's very durable if you're out
on the go and by default it is a USBC
hard drive so no adapters are needed
next up we have my wallet it's made by
shinola and my hometown of Detroit
Michigan I picked it up about 4 years
ago the patina looks great and I can
imagine getting another 10 years plus
out of that wallet in the very bottom of
my backpack I like to keep a canvas
grocery bag I like to have this on hand
in case I'm picking up groceries on my
way home so I don't waste any excess
grocery bags in the front compartment I
keep a handful of quick access items
first being a handkerchief it's a great
way to save on tissues and paper towel I
also like to keep a microfiber cloth for
my glasses mainly but also my
electronics and we have my headphones of
choice the Apple earpods
I'm one of the lucky folks where they
fit very well into my ears I got them a
couple of years ago now as a gift and
have not looked back last but not least
we have my sunglasses these are the
matte black light force Wayfarers from
Ray Ban I bought them six or seven years
ago now and they have a few scratches
but still work perfectly and that is
going to conclude the tour through my
2019 backpack I really hope you all
