Your Photos Are Needed

Haha thank you! Just waiting for the new curtains to go with it!

That's a lovely pile of TB goodness right there!
(I like your couch too)

Not quite everything, but a good chunk of the collection (so far) got together today for a family photo! Would love to see everyone's pile o' bags & things!

Received my NFTD order today and am loving the color and workmanship but my first reaction — “boy it’s small!” The seam to seam dimensions are about 2” less all around so will have to see how it packs out. I hope to use it as a camera bag. I’ve used an OSCA in that capacity but am hoping the NFTD will be a better fit. Would hate to return it cuz it’s sooo cute but for the price it has to fill that need.🤞🏻

Where's the book review section on this forum again? :D

Well, technically, I think it's the Not About Bags section, but hopefully folks will forgive a side bar

From what I read in the product description, it sounds like it literally is a bunch of his notes & ephemera, which lines up with what you're seeing.

I started with the first books in the very early 80's and remember being excited when 'So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish' was publishing... We scrounged cassette tape copies of the radio show and watched the BBC TV version when it came to the PBS stations in the US. We were teenagers, so it arrived at a very personality-forming time of life 😂

Please let me know what you think of the book! It doesn't release here until the 19th

At a quick glance, the book is a hodge-podge of bits and pieces (as was to be expected). Many pages just show scanned/photographed typewritten pages or handwritten notes with little commentary (photos, too, of course). It feels like someone opened a shoebox full of papers from Adams' attic, ordered them by date and put them in a book. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it's not a book you would read from start to finish.

Haven't really started reading anything in earnest, just some light skimming.

that's where my 42 is from :)

You will be happy to know then that 4 pages are dedicated entirely to that number :)

Took my Side Hustle to pick up a delivery from the post office, because "It's a book. How big can it be?" Turns out, a bit bigger than expected :)

Fjord, Açai, and NWSky go really well together

Still carrying the Navy Parapack SN22 this week, but swapped EC to nNordic as a change of pace... And used the little red 'event bag' to bring some snacks.

Just posting the side by side SN 30 vs S25 photo from today's email - thought it was a good visual reference. The label location is the most obvious difference (so happy they did that) but you can see how the Synik is a bit more squared off than the Synapse

Still carrying the Navy Parapack SN22 (sans framesheet) for now.

Needed to bring extra random Monday stuff to work, so used a Monarch oSSB, which then conveniently folds & tucks nicely inside the SN22 to go home.



S19 & oSSB are still my most essential TB items

Two of the new Mystery Pouches hanging out in a Navy Parapack/Cloud SN22, along with a Logic A5 GW holding notebooks, Island E/TC and a Seafoam VPC.

The SN22 is jammed with the most I've ever put into it... Besides the above, there are two laptops, half inch of papers, & a Kindle in the main compartment plus the pockets are full (including a SSC in the chin pocket) and my Microlite water bottle is in place.

Coyote has its own fans. I’m sure it’ll be fine :p

You rang? ;-)
