My car is a hub of sorts.  It’s my main mode of transportation going from place to place, it’s great for jamming to tunes, and it helps keep me connected and powered up.  With all the devices that I have with me on any given day, the worry I always have is whether I’ll have […]

REVIEW: Cotopaxi Luzon Del Dia 18L Daypack

A daypack is meant to be something you can swiftly grab and go.  It’s a bag that is a delicate balance of compactness and storage space.  It has to be tough but light and flexible enough to handle all sorts of situations.  This is the anatomy of a daypack.   This is my review of […]

Review: GoPro Stick XShot Pro Pole

This year has been the year of video for me.  From Sinternship in Vegas, freezing in Quebec, finally seeing the Terracotta Warriors in China, racing around Europe with Competitours, and finally whitewater canoeing, my YouTube channel has literally tripled in content this year.  I couldn’t have done it without my trusty GoPro’s.

Review of the Super Secure Numinous 55L Backpack

This summer I had the chance to test out a new travel backpack by Numinous Packs.  When they approached me about reviewing their GlobePacs 55L anti-theft rucksack, I was a little unsure because it’s not the normal style of backpack that I’d look for.  Never wanting to lock myself into a specific type of backpack, […]

Review – STM Drifter Laptop Backpack

I’ve been on the look out for a good day pack for awhile.  As a digital nomad, being able to go anywhere in the world as long as I have my trusty laptop, notepad and camera in tow is important as ever.  To be able to do that comfortably with enough space, versatility and comfort […]

Having a travel router wasn’t something that I thought I needed as part of my standard list of things to pack but after playing around with one these past few weeks, I now understand why people have them.

REVIEW: Original f-stop Loka Camera Backpack

Let’s face it, finding a good camera backpack is hard to find.  Now take that difficulty and multiply it by 10 when you need something that’ll be able to handle the rough outdoors and overnight camping gear.
