I've got a Thule Covert DSLR backpack and it's the bomb. Seriously if anyone is in the market for a backpack with dedicated space for a camera I can't recommend it highly enough.

#102An old 30 litre Alpkit bag that now seems discontinued, similar to this:

I have a large Grid-It inside so smaller items don't get lost:

#103I've been using my Timbuk2 messenger for about four years now and it's bomb proof. It's been through every type of weather, and on every trip I've taken.
The only complaint I have is that it wants to fall forward instead of sitting up rigid/straight.

I like this - the issue I have with a lot of dedicated camera bags is that is screams "steal me! I have a lot of expensive things in here!".
This bag doesn't do that (~covert~ gives that away I guess but still!)

#105mandarina duck, i cant find the link on their website, perhaps it's a fake as i bought this in china or perhaps it's a regional backpack. i carry both a macbook air 11 and macbook pro 13, i can put all my cables, dongles, and other stuff with ease, sometimes i carry my ipad mini 2. the build quality is great, straps are well padded, the aesthetics are great, italian designed, waterproof, has pockets on both sides so that you can put water bottles. i own a lot of backpacks, but this is my favorite. post here if you want me to add a pic somewhere

#106I carry the Jansport Night Owl. Jansport isn't a fancy company anymore but their bags are still "buy it for life" and very good quality. In particular this bag has really nice pockets for my laptop and ipad and I've taken it on weeklong trips to conferences as my only luggage (ymmv, I am able to get by on very little).

#107I spent 6 months as a "digital nomad" in Europe living out of this bag: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PAD435A/ref=oh_aui_deta... I love it. It's great.
Did you keep a blog/write at all about being your experiences as a "digital nomad"?
I generally prefer privacy over blog posts, but I do plan to do a few write ups.

#108The Frye Logan [0]
Very expensive (~$450) but looks great and is extremely well made, I plan to carry it for many years to come.

#109I carry an LL Bean Commuter Ballistic. Has some really great organization features along with being able to handle 2 15" MBPs with ease.
This is pretty much perfect. I looked at like 50 bags and this one's the one I wanted. Unfortunately, they just discontinued it.

p.s. one of the reason I like them because of their 'ethos':
