How's your experience has been with the mouse
I'd highly recommend giving it a shot.
I like this question because I come at it from a very different lifestyle. I’m a digital nomad and I have mostly lived out of a backpack and carry on for the past 10 years. My philosophy is that things have to be worth carrying and they should be very easily replaceable if anything gets lost, stolen or breaks. A few of my under $100 favs: Universal GaN travel adapter: One of those square bricks that converts from any…
This is a fantastic, fantastic backpack. I use it when flying and it fits perfectly in the Ryanair & co limits. I took one for each of my kids and all together we pack everything needed for a week+.
gotta be a tire inflater (not sure what brand) that came with a flash light and works rain or snow powered by car adapter
Be careful buying those, and test them on multiple tires IMMEDIATELY. I bought a series from Slime brand; every one failed within two tire inflates. Went to Harbor Freight, and bought their most expensive one; it has earned the price since (still under $100).
It's saved my butt many times.
Mine is viaair, and the device is dedicated (no flashlight etc)

+1 to wool undergarments. I prefer Unbound Merino to Smartwool for shirts, though Smartwool's socks are better than Unbound.
How do Darn Toughs compare? I've managed to wear through 8 pairs of costco wool socks without loosing any, so the idea of a lifetime warranty sounds promising.

Yep same for me. The knife you can take anywhere without alarming people. Nicely made and always useful.
I'd nursed a foot callus for years that hurt badly when I walked barefoot. Weeks ago, sitting on the locker room bench, I hit my limit. In desperation I pulled out my pocket knife to do some field surgery. A few minutes into it I glanced up to see two guys sitting across the room staring at me open-eyed as I dug into my foot with the tip of that pointy knife (8.5" with 3.5" blade)! I just smiled and dug that sucker o…
I flipped the knife out and his eyes got huge, his arms went out sideways and he got in a football stance.
After he calmed down, he told me he was actually attacked with a knife when he was a kid.
Not long after, I finally wore out the fastener on that knife (a buck). Luckily I had already bought a twin for backup.
Aeropress coffee maker. Look up the James Hoffmann recipe on YouTube and you can never drink another coffee style again
It was so easy for me to go back to a cheap drip coffee maker and pre-ground coffee. I realized that I’ll never appreciate the flavors and process as much as the investment would call for.

Isn't Ryanair limit more like 40l?

Aeropress is great. If you like a large mug of coffee have a try of the Clever Dripper. Had Aeropress at home and CD at work and eventually bought a CD for home because it’s so good.
