Fun conversation to listen in on!

Sucks jb is collaborating with bo, i stopped following bo when he went full covid extremist

The strap looks comfortable but the padded area is not central so it sits correctly on the shoulder. But then what happens if you move the sling to your front? Is the padded area then not on your shoulder? Does that make sense? 😅

I’m a musician and fly often. I have a bass guitar on my back and I use this weekender. I like that it’s solid. I tried the Pakt duffel V2. I like the way it loads better but it’s too floppy. I use a garment folder for dress clothes. I stand it inside next to laptop compartment. I I agree that the AER looks big. I’m always trying to use it as my personal item, so you have to be careful how you pack it. I’ve been lucky so far. It’s too big really for under the seat. Crowded enough for most bags anyway. Thanks

Hello Bo! Can it pack a Samsung Galaxy fold and a Osmo pocket 3 at the same time?

Feels like we are just in travel storage circle: briefcase -> backpack -> fannypack -> messenger -> backpack -> sling -> tote -> briefcase?

Having kids, I think about what my screen use tells them. I don't want them to see me looking at my phone more than them or think my phone is more important than they are. They have been given permission to ask me to put down my phone. Sometimes I can't because, e.g., I am working but they are a good reminder that I have more important things to spend my time on.

I ended up removing all social apps on my phone and only use my tablet to get on apps. Works ok, obviously I miss out on immediate replys and such but it's helped me lower my time on social.

I have one question. How many banknotes (japanese 1,000yen) can I put in that wallet(re01)?

Best discussion of the clamshell pros and cons (plus the only demonstration!) out of all the reviews I've seen. Thanks!

I have this bag for my 2nd sling during travel is so light weight

What’s at the back of ur phone ?

I have a Moment Tech Tote and love it. It was perfect as a personal item on a flight just recently. I agree that it might be uncomfortable having the hand straps on your shoulder for a longer period of time. I use a cross shoulder strap for those occasions and even added a shoulder strap pad that’s designed for guitars to ease the load which makes it much more comfortable. This also allows you to have both hands free and swing the bag to your front to access whatever you need.

Would be great if you review those mechanical watches

Don't see many guys in my town carrying a tote bag tbh. Women, they carry totes and have for years. My mum had a plain black handbag that looked like the one in this video way back in the 90s (eta- it was a Kate Spade brand and had little metal studs on the bottom. I can still hear the sound it made when she would put it on the kitchen worktop, that's where she kept it. She's long passed now.. a nice memory this video brought back 😁) I can't carry totes though, tote back packs I'm good with, but feel unbalanced carrying tote mode for too long.

Random Q - whats your dog lead? :)

Too bad you didn't include the availability of the SLING in this video. Alpaka actually sells it for this and for their other bags. It would've helped with arm-availability and long-walk-carry issues. But i love the UNPLUG bit in the beginning. You're a real one for that, Bo. Cheers! 🇵🇭

kind of surprised you picked this bag up after saying the GR0 was retired due to the tactical look

I love that this video is about a totebag but has a hidden message with unplugging. I have set some rules. I only interact with Twitter/IG via web. I'm working on having a dedicated place in my home to keep my phone. I'm also considering converting to a desktop rather than a laptop.

I have both the Bravo and Elements tote from Alpaka and now I'm really thinking about getting this because it's a perfect hybrid between those 2. I love the Elements but it's too open, so I feel a bit unsafe leaving my stuff in there or spilling something and the Bravo is perhaps a bit overengineered and heavy for casual use, this one seems a perfect blend of both worlds. Is this tote heavy? I always have a tote for work, but as a complement to a backpack. to pack weirdly shaped things but totes are amazing for casual use, really easy access and versatility. I became a tote person but I will never stop using backpacks, I simply love any type of bag.

Just got my GR2 34L in the star shrapnel pattern the other week, been using it all week with an alpaka tech max case for organization inside. my new paka is that deep purple, with orange interior, replaced zipper pulls with green ones, and strap with a green one, friend did some embroid work on that says NERV, EVANGELION, etc. My v4 wont be back for a few weeks, but had all the red converted to green, black stuff rekoted in a vibrant deep purple, and alot of stuff in copper orange to have that whole eva colorway haha. Having a custom made motorcycle harness chest rig made to hold my phone, edc stuff easy to access like flashlight, medical, etc. Finally got something to go over my armor for when I ride, and my leathers, which makes me go up a size in some clothing to cover armor, and chest rig. Now about to build a metric tool kit for my hijet, and my R1 to share as I use it to tow stuff to the track. Importing in a new hilux champ thats LHD from philippines to swap cab and bed onto a u.s. tacoma truck to replace my tired hijet haha

In terms of comfort, how would you rate between this Alpaka Go Sling Nano, Evergoods CAS2 , and Bellroy Chimera Sling? Which would you recommend if only 1 bag is allowed?

Thanks for the great video. Now after using it for a while, what are your thoughts on the bag? How is the strap? I hear mix thoughts on it.

Is it practical to carry it as cabine baggage? Or its better off as check-in baggage for most flights?

Such a good chat. I am also a great fan of Odie bag reviews. About films, I don't know if they were bad, but I remember Barbarella and Flash Gordon as very particular films.

10 years younger than you guys, struggling, and this podcast was exactly what I needed today. Thank you

always looking for something with a ccw, that bag looks great, but needs a ccw compatible

and the AER Dopp kit is actually my first and only AER product. Well-build and functional.

if you gt the 26l this will solve your length issue. You should be able to fit everything in that sized bag. I got mine recently and thought it was too big until i started loading it with stuff and it fits like glove. Couldn't be more happier

Been using the GR1 slick for years after I saw your original video. Went with the 21 but kinda wish I'd gone with the bigger (27L?). Saw the GR2 and really considered it but it feels like a bit too much for most days. One question I have for 1 bag travelers is what do you do when you get to your destination? I mean, I'd want my GR1 for day trips traveling but putting it inside a GR2 feels strange.

I’m still missing an external water bottle and more important a sternum strap because when the 34L is fully loaded, it’s an heavy bag. The back side could also have more padding to improve the comfort during long carry period…..

🤔 I’d have to think about which ones I would watch again 😂

Nice one. Entertaining and informative. And relaxing :)

Bo, You didn't mention the new 210D underneath, how did you find that addition??...

Vlogging around people us probably an issue in Germany anyway. GDPR doesn't allow recognizable people in view a s Germany is quite strict about it.

Bo, this is literally the only channel I trust for reviews. You're a man of principle, and I appreciate it.

I love that sweater you're wearing in the house, with white, grey, and pink squares. Any chance you remember where I might get one of those? Thanks!

Hello. Do u have a link of the zipper lubricant you showed in the clip? Thanks!

dude that motorcycle class looks so sick..glad i'm not the only one who wanted a side handle! haha... great video I def have a lot to learn when it comes to organizing thoughts about things for videos..your videos are so well thought out 👍

What's your favorite bad movie?

I have the same problem with my fisher AG7 space pen right from opening the box, and it virtually unusable.😂 I ditched the fisher original refill, and replace it with a BIC Cristal original refill and/or Schneider Slider Edge refill, with cutting to shorten the ink catridge, and paper tap wrapping at some point of the refill for the AG7 spring to have something to hold on, and the problem is solved. Considering i don't write in water, nor on oiled paper, nor upsidedown, nor in zero gravity, so the new modded refills works like a charm for me, for cheap dirt price, and much much smoother than the fisher original refill.😊

Just bought mine to double as my fight bag and I'm in love.

Love the red zipper pulls. Where’d you get them?

I feel like the same exact thing would happen with a non fidlock buckle

how is it slipping on you? i have the slippery xpac and it stays i also have a different sling bag made with ballistic nylon and they also don't slip i guess you could get a bag with a breathable back fabric maybe that will work? while comfortable that is my CON for this bag the back is not made of mesh/breathable fabric and the straps are HARD. my other cheaper bags use some sort of soft smooth seatbelt like material. with the same magnet buckle you don't hate. but they are made of some nylon material with a thick face its almost rubbery. feels good but it's not xpac. it doesn't have hi visibility orange interior.

I thought spacepens where supposed to not leak? But i guess it makes sense that with less ink in the tube that means pressure is less therefore leaking .. The image quality is ok, but seems kinda dull in color? Colors where just not popping but image is clear..
