To commemorate the 1,000th post on the JW/Blog, I wanted to put together my own Go Bag summary, the likes of which were shown in this Lifehacker post three years ago. After going through the many illustrations in that post during the Fall of 2007, I conceived my own Go Bag setup, which I eventually constructed in January of 2008.
The items in my bag have evolved over the past three years, but what you see in these series of images is what I leave the house with today. Only a fraction of the items in my bag are used on any given day, but every item has been used multiple times over the years. It makes traveling nice, too, because most of the gadgets, chargers, or personal items I'd need to bring are already packed. I just have to worry about clothes & toiletries when it's time for a trip.
After researching various bags online, the one I ultimately purchased was the booq Python XL, which came bundled with a zippered MacBook Pro sleeve and accessory case which fit the iPhone. Aside from the aesthetics of the bag, the amazing amount of storage compartments inside really sold me on this particular backpack. It's stood up to three years of daily use, and I'm still pleased with my decision.
Underneath the images shown below you will find a legend for each of the items in the photographs. I've included links to more information about an item if I could find an appropriate site online. The 50 item legend is also included in the photo description of each numbered image when you click through to Flickr, so you don't have to strain your eyes on the thumbnails below or continue to toggle back & forth between Blogger and Flickr.
Seeing what other people pack in their bags always gives me ideas, so hopefully this post will inspire others, too.
