So after the purchase i got these two straps from Dreamwatches and it's not bad so far..
It looks like a toy watch on the Ceramic band 🤣

Finally picked up my grail used from u/rolling_edc so decided to put a carry together (yes it had been too long and yes I am working my hardest to get things in)
So far the stand out is the Bugout, the Wuben X5 and the Fitbit Air.

Due to lots of you reaching out to me on DM’s, we about to do another group buy in August (so cool, much wow)
Rules as before with the exception of payments being upfront (had issues in the last order due to cancellation post the order, please consider the fact that I have to pay CT upfront at my expense)
You can send me a DM with your order (preferably a screenshot of the cart with your items in it), full name and Address and contact no. - I will be only responding to DM that have all the information mentioned in them.
Here are the rules as per the last order :
We usually save a bunch of money by ordering it all together mostly on shipping which is the pain point - so here are the rules :
Have multiple vouches here in the community and this is our 6th group buy.
Group buy will close exactly at 2359 on 13th August (yay birthday)..so send me you orders ASAP..
My top picks -
CT3 Neo - Excellent small carry for a minimal setup - has organisation for a day out (check out my vid for more reference)
CT5 Neo - A larger carry capacity perfect for everything the CT3 Neo can do plus a larger secondary pocket for an ipad mini or a compact DSLR and a water bottle holder/tripod pocket in the bottom.
CT14 Plus - An overall EDC Powerhouse of a back pack - does it all without breaking a sweat and is made of great light fabric that can take a beating while staying breathable in our climate. My most recommended product in the line up.
CT21 Plus - Travel pro max value carry now in two new fabrics..
CT10 - A jack of all trade, backpack/sling carry that is versatile and compact, perfect to for day trips/hikes/rides and jsut general day out if u need something larger to work with, fits upto 14 inch laptops and i would suggest adding a CT Office or Admin Panel for optimum use. One of my fav products they make.
Admin Insert Gear - A Easy pick for the CT3/5 Neo and the CT14 Plus for organisation - has been much ignored but people quickly realise its utility and order it in the next one (better late than never).
Maybe's -
CT Messenger 14 - A hit and miss for me, reminds me of my school bag back in the 90's but is made well, if you can look past the tactical front, the internal organisation is well thought out.
CT Urban Bag - A sleeper release that is not up everyones alley if you feel the CT10 is too tactical for you but you need a similar size or literage, this is the bad go you, although the straps are questionable but absolutely servicable - my wife uses this bag as her daily carry to work (follow me on OnetakeEDC on instagram to see the couple carry setup)

Story time - So when I got into the hobby, I was overwhelmed by a lot of bags and brands but coming from a Doughnut (yes the brand was called that and it was from HK) i wanted more complex materials than the one I had, X-Pac was all the buzz back then and then I found out about Evergoods and this collab, I had already gotten the CTB26 from HK and wanted to get my second Evergoods for office use and this one showed up on FB Marketplace while I was in Vancouver, 300 CAD later i was a proud of what would be a long journey of coming back to this beast.
I am united with it after 1 year as a friend pulled out of storage and had a relative carry it all the way here.
The Evergoods X Carryology Collab CPL24 "Pheonix" is a workhorse for sure.
Para cord work done by yours truly.

Greetings sub !!
I know I have been awol from the sub for a bit, between traveling, monsoon clean up and work before a sabbatical, I have been a bit occupied - but that hasn't stopped me from acquiring more bags in the last ditch effort to find something that would fit my EDC needs. The OG CT10 in 1000d cordura on the CTactical website has always been my fav form factor - a narrow carry bag/sling (it has removable straps that can be set up crossbody) that can fit 10-12 litres of stuff and is discrete enough to carry to work and on trips and is super modular. I did own two in the past - both of which I gifted to my friends who would put it to more use than me.
The CT10S is a creation that is limited to 200-250 bags which they sell through their Facebook group and is truly for the bag nerd - this build costs me USD 380 shipped to Mumbai and took over 45 days to be made by hand - UX10 is a very soft touch tactical material thats water proof and highly rip resistant it is also extremely see through and therefore the RVX25 Orange exterior can be seen "bleeding" through it. I initially wanted to get it in white but decided against it due to our current climate and pollution situation and I am glad I did this black is just the right amount of stealth.
My configuration if you are a bag nerd is as follows - Full front patch panel, exterior water bottle pockets, J straps, and 3-1"loops in the front.
I have been EDC'ing this for the last 20 odd days and it has been an eye opener for me, I believed that 20-22 litres is the EDC bag sweet spot in the west and to me, here I see people lug 30-40L bags to university which gives me anxiety but I always support carry decisions..I digress but 14L is also a great spot to carry and i felt I packed more or less the same things without compromising functionality.
Now the meat and potatoes (or if you are a vegetarian then paneer and potatoes) of the conversation - my load-out
The front has one zipper it holds 2 pens and my torch and secondary knife of choice.
The main compartment has my ASUS RoG Ally X in a Dbrand Killswitch case, My Airpods Max, a Dopp/med kit in the Ouch Pouch And my Peak Design Camera Case. Behind it is the modularity I was talking about earlier - The Molle Admin panel (also sold my CT) is a secret hack to get through airport security without opening all the pouches for your tech items pull the panel out leave it on a tray and voila you are good to go.
At the back of the admin panel is my laptop that can also be accessed from the side, a top Quick access pocket for wallets, sunglasses and mints and the hidden back pocket for passport and cash.
The side waterbottle pockets hold my Yeti Rambler 10oz and the other one a 5oz coffee holder if I when I carry it.
I really think they killed it with this build and I hope they bring the "S" variant to their regular offering but until then you can grab the OG CT10 from their website on our group buy happening soon.

Good Tarmac, bumpy Concrete or broken roads - My 2025 RE Scram 440 Force Grey "Lucy" carried me to breakfast at Ahura and back while making quick work of all terrains that the Maharashtra roads have to offer, she also experienced her first drizzle and never broke a sweat.
The ride is so much more than the spec sheet and th Fuel X Pro Plus just let's her perform more efficiently while the BMC air filter just compliments the setup, I got asked several time about the bike and the exhaust - The Red Roster Vertex setup with the header pipes and exhaust just makes Lucy hum and even let out a few moans (she sounds immaculate) when downshifting or letting go of the throttle.
Cruising speeds of 100-110 is easy work although with eminent truck traffic is not a constant. Some stretches allowed to push her to her limits -115/118 after which the engine really struggles (FXPP setting at 5, would never run it at 8 or higher it really kills the mileage). Tried out the Aooci C3 Plus Carplay device and Spiki Mirrors this ride, both performed up to the mark for how budget they are. Got a patch in the night when I used the Maddog Scout X and these are more than sufficient for the speeds we do on our Scrams, great visibility at the speeds our bikes are capable of.
I was hoping I could complete the rest of the mods before this ride but I got my appointment today to go get the Rolon Chain Sprocket kit installed, new Reise Moto Tires (nothing wrong with the old one but I wanted touring focused tires - TourR in front and TourRad in the back), 15w fork oil for the front, Sintered brake pads from Crank1, synthetic oil to keep the engine running better in Mumbai weather, saree guard removal, suspension tune-up to make it stiffer (I'm a chonky fellow) which in the future I'll change with YSS suspension setup or Way2Speed Springs if and when he does make them.
She is 80% there imo with just a bit more work left to do - a new wrap (although I love how she looks, I want a Nardo Grey Wrap with orange graphics on it - still experimenting with designs) to make her my own, suspension redo for adjustability and a luggage setup. I'm not getting the Powertronics V4 piggy back ECU as of now as I feel it won't make too much of a real life performance upgrade and with my larger rear wheel now (130 vs 120) I don't want to stress the engine more than it already is.
Thanks for reading through my TedTalk, but she is really worthy of all the praise..many of you might be thinking at this point y not go Himalayan 450 - it's too big for me and the mumbai traffic and when I test rode this i felt in sync with it's character - nice and chill while being extremely comfortable..
