“My two main challenges?

The front diagonal “slash” pocket. I used to own an iPad Mini before upgrading to the Pro, and don’t quite know what to do with this pocket now.

And...

I’m no good at sewing...as the title of this thread would suggest, I’m a “hack” at best. But, I’ve been toying with ways to make the already great Daylight Briefcase even better for my needs.

Well, we skiers call our poor snowboarding cousins “knuckle-draggers,” but its all in good fun. Any outdoor play in the snow is time well spent. Spring is a great time to learn, and the gear is...

Went skiing again this weekend. Skiing has been great, though this season has been as crowded as I’ve ever seen it. Like all outdoor activities, interest and participation has gone through the...

This is a (poor) shot of the small Velcro pen holder I added to the DLBC. Just a small piece of Velcro tape in the...

Thanks moriond, some good suggestions there. I had seen in the past that I’d missed the Field Journal and it’s extras, and I’ve always regretted that a bit. The insert looks perfect. I did add a...

The DLBC has become my favorite TB bag (kind of to my surprise...I didn’t expect much from this bag, but it’s sooo versatile). I would love either a souped-up guide’s edition and/or design lab...

This is exactly what I had in mind!
Thanks, Curt

sturbridge Holy cow...that Pocketmod resource is very cool...thanks for sharing. I can see a lot of ways to use that.

I’ve used both the Q-kit and GW pouches for charging cables, etc. My favorite is the small size of the GW: packs flat and holds multiple cords and dongles. Whether or not it will carry a small...

Darcy: Doesn’t work for me, which is frustrating because I’m signed up for the newsletter and bag giveaway, but haven’t received any emails (though I’ve scoured my junk folder etc.). Can you check...

Feel good movie (an all time favorite of our family): "Local Hero". Small and lovely Scottish coastal village vs. Big Oil, a comedy...

Yes please!

I own both a S25 (guides edition) and a S30, so my advice would be don’t buy both if it’s about the size. I realize that by the numbers the 30 is bigger, but I don’t see where that extra 5 liters...

When are you coming? (I live in Seattle, travel often to the San Juan Islands, and occasionally to Alaska.)

If coming in the summer, especially July and August it is unlikely to be very wet in...

It would be nice someday (post crisis and when all the other projects TB has on tap is done) for Tom to create a pre-made insert or two for a bag or two, but I get that that’s not a real high...

I kinda miss film. Way back when, I used to develop my own black and white in closet darkroom. Kind of miss that, though digital sure made things (especially color) easier. How are you managing...

The X-Pros look like marvelous cameras...as does the XT30. Lots of great gear to choose from, not enough cash :-)
I have used the X100F, as well, when I’ve wanted to go small, and it’s great, but...

This is actually a Synapse 25 GE in the pictures, but I also have a Synik 30, and it works identically in that pack. I think the chin pocket is the exact same size.
I’ve been tempted to try a...

I’ve been using the front lower “chin” pocket of the Synapse 25 (and now the Synik 30) for cameras for several years now. It’s by far my all time favorite way to carry camera gear as a part of my...
