Vertx EDC Transit Sling: Built for low profile missions
I hadn’t owned a backpack for about 15 years when I came across Vertx. That time frame probably makes me seem a lot older than I am(I’m 27), but long story short, I didn’t carry one a day past the end of 5th grade. I can’t remember thinking “I want a backpack!” at any point […]
Patagonia Atom 8 liter sling: The take-it-everywhere classic sling bag
It’s really a difficult process for me to find an everyday carry pack that I feel fits the bill. An EDC bag first and foremost, in my mind, needs to not look the least bit tactical, it should be robust, discreet, and minimalist in design. Well after some thorough research, I came across Patagonia’s Atom 8L sling pack. A small, […]
Aer Sling Bag 2 | For nomadic travel
I’ve always been a guy to use specific gear for specific purposes. Everything was meant for certain situations. But that was never more prevalent than when I started working remote and taking on the title of ‘Digital Nomad’. There are so many times when I find myself needing to pack for an overnight trip to […]

The Vertx EDC Commuter | Hit Back
The Vertx EDC Commuter is an absolutely massive bag, but it doesn’t appear that way from the outside. Sure it’s on the larger side of sling bags, but it’s still smaller than a backpack. I say it’s massive because of the amount of gear I can store in this thing. Not only that but because […]
The Vertx Commuter Sling Bag | First Look
I’ve done a number of sling bags in the last year I’ve been at the Loadout Room and have grown to appreciate a good sling bag more and more. I used to be team backpack, but I do find myself carrying a sling bag more and more these days. There is something sleeker and even […]
Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag Full Review
I’ve gotten some good range time and a ton of carry time with the Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag. In that time not only have I gotten the ability to test the bag, but to truly test the idea of off-body concealed carry. The Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag is a simple sling bag that […]
WHAT DO I WEAR? CHOOSING AN EDC BAG
This article will address why I choose the bags / tools to carry at any given time. This is not an article about what I look for in a bag (see this article or a more recent one about sling / cross body bags). This is my current practice, and is subject to change. In general, […]
Vertx EDC Commuter Sling Bag
Imagine yourself in gridlocked traffic when an earthquake rocks your city. With nowhere to go and nowhere to hide, you only have what’s in your pockets and inside your go-bag (if you have one). You need to escape the anarchy that is about to ensue and get to your family. So, what do you do? […]
