Non-Clothing Items:

AKA – “an oversized, blurry photo of my most used objects”

All of these items are used at least once a day and so every item here has had extensive thought put into it.

1. Skateboard

When I was younger I used to love going out and skating but stopped following an operation on both of my feet. It’s strange how hobbies we have as children show up again in our adult lives. I use the board both as a form of exercise and a means of transport. There’s so something very soothing about about gliding down a long stretch of pavement.

2. The bag itself

I’m not too into spending crazy money on hi-tech bags that have become commonplace in the OneBag community. Very few people need a real fancy bag. I got this on Amazon and it does everything I need it to. What’s better is that I seldom look like a tourist when I’m carrying something so casual. I’m thinking of keeping a power bank in there somewhere – I like the idea of plugging the bag in and then being able to charge all my devices on the move.

3. Foldable canvas tote

I can’t remember where I got this bag, but I do know it’s perfect for groceries, as an extra bag if you need it, or its most common use – separating dirty laundry from clean stuff when I’m travelling.

4. Etnies Shoes

Real tough, sturdy shoes. From what I know, they’re classic “skater” shoes that can take a beating. I used to have a pair of Vans but I go through shoes so often that it’s nice to experiment with different things from time to time.

5. Notepads

One’s a Moleskine, the other a Christmas gift. The Moleskine acts as an off board brain and I write everything down so as not to forget thing. The other is a 5 Minute Journal.

6. iPad Mini & Platten ADV Wireless Headphones

The iPad has been a blessing. I can read, watch Netflix, listen to music, work and play games on it. It’s nice to carry something lighter than a laptop and if anything I’ve had an increase in productivity because of it. I also have an iPhone 6, so everything works seamlessly between them.

The headphones are most definitely my best purchase this year. The battery lasts for days and the have an aux jack if you need it. What’s awesome is that you can plug another pair of headphones into them and listen with a friend on long journeys. Sound quality isn’t perfect, but is high enough for them to have a fantastic sound. There’s a slight bass boost which isn’t my thing, but I’m not gonna cry about it.

7. Miscellaneous

From left to right: Padlock, skate tool, portable battery, wallet, charging cables.

Everything here is pretty self explanatory. The wallet is a Nomatic Basics, if you’re asking.
