For some reason I find it interesting to read about what other people carry around with them (#EDC) and the bits of tech they use. I’m constantly changing mine but here is the current load out.

Mini Display port to HDMI. I use this so I can plug my laptop into monitors at offices and TV’s in hotels. Apple power cord, nothing special. 13" apple macbook air for work. I have about three different work laptops but I refuse to carry more than one. This occasionally gets swapped out for one of the others depending on where I am going. 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. This is my personal tablet that I use a lot for reading the newspaper (Telegraph app) and news feeds (Feedly and Pocket). I also have it loaded up with movies. A kindle Paperwhite, for you know.. reading things. This is a a ‘Raydori’ leather cover notebook which has either moleskin cashier or fieldnotes notebooks inside. The raydori is very much like the popular midori notebook but at a much better size. See this article for more about it. I like to use Pilot G2 pens. A Logitech portable wireless mouse. I don’t mind track pads but i prefer a mouse. A western digital Passport Ultra 1TB USB 3.0 hard drive. A rechargeable power pack, Aukey PB-N28 12000mAh. So I never run out of juice. Anker Soundbuds bluetooth wireless earbuds. When I replaced my traditional earbuds with these wireless ones, my life got better. For £20 there a steal. Sony XB950BT Bluetooth wireless over ear headphones. Again, these were a replacement for my older wired headphones and I cant stress how nice it is without the cable. I thought about forking out for the Bose Sounlink or Sennheiser Momentum but these Sony's are half the price and still sound awesome. I’m not into the beats hype. An Amazon Basics travel case, where I keep all the cables, bits and bobs. GridIt organizer, also how I keep some of the loose bits tidy. A Belkin travel multi plug. It has 2 UK sockets and 2 USB sockets for charging things. Very useful. An assortment of cables. Mini-USB, iphone lightning and HDMI. A Braun series 9 (9095cc) electric razor. This thing is a bit pricey but is the best electric razor I have used. if you use it every day over several years then it pays for itself. My last one went on for 5 years before it broke. My keys. Also included are two Yubikeys for securley logging into things. Multiple entry passes attached to an ubuntu lanyard. Camelbak eddy water bottle. Love this thing. A small (random) zipper bag for some toiletries used during overnight stays.

The bag that i put all this stuff in is a swiss gear 1900. I used a timbuk2 messenger bag previously but I just find backpacks much more comfortable to carry around. This is the best backpack I have owned and it has loads of room.

What I haven't included in this post is an assortment of clothes that I sometimes take with me when staying away. I find i can comfortable fit two or three nights worth of supplies in this bag before I need to think about taking a small cabin sized suitcase.
