A comprehensive EDC guide to the essential gear every man should have in his arsenal.

Admit it…you’ve undoubtedly experienced the “analysis paralyses” that every shopper feels at some point. Velcro or zippers? Slate gray, cement gray or charcoal gray? Expensive name brand or budget-friendly generic? The modern industrial world has left consumers with a dizzying array of product permutations that rarely benefit anyone. Does anyone actually want to pick between a dozen options for a can of corn or laundry detergent? (Answer: only weirdos)

Do you travel? Yeah you do, you traveling traveler, you! But how do you travel? Do you find what whatever duffel or bag is laying around, shove all your stuff inside like your stuffing a turkey, then ferociously unpack your luggage like your searching for that important paperwork in the desk drawer as if you are in a murder mystery movie? Yeah- we know you. But, with TRMNL there is a better, more organized, and smoother way to travel.

Our crew likes to head out whether for the day or the weekend, so we are always looking for a legit bag to do it all.

Knack, Knack, Who’s there?- Only the most versatile backpack this side of Earth. Lame intro (we know), but jokes aside the Knack Bags #onebaglife motto is serious business. Look- we all want a legit everyday backpack to haul our gear, from laptops to carry-on essentials but rarely do we find one that features it all. The crew at Knack Bags figured it out and developed one cool addition to the everyday carry game.

The wallets, passport holders, card holders, and field note creations from Wayfinder are simply outstanding. Our crew wanted to explore the lineup of minimally designed, travel ready, everyday carry options so we grabbed the Flux Cardholder, BORDERLESS Passport Holder, DAYBREAKER Billfold Wallet, and LETS GO notebook for the ultimate duuude review!

One thing Peak Design is known for is creating quality carry bags for any adventure. Now in its 2nd generation, their Everyday Sling v2 boasts aesthetic and functional updates based on feedback from thousands of passionate customers.

Toss out what you know about backpacks and welcome in a new take on enhanced essentials. Peak Design is at it again with their upgraded line of every day carry bags. Taking feedback from their customers and bag reviewers alike, Peak took their own bag and did what many brands are afraid to do: admit their product could be better. Peak Design took a cold hard look in the mirror and set out to upgrade the Everyday Backpack to make it the ultimate choice in “load up and go” functionality.
