I'm boiling down to one Goruck bag. And so I basically took the other shoulder pouches off the other exiting rucks and tried it out and I like it—and they're all coyote brown so they all match. They're all useful for stuffing things like Kleenex and lip balm and sunglasses. I thought I would just share my use case with you in case you are interested. I don't think they make the mesh one anymore.

My best friend bought this wallet/passport/journal/notebook leather cover for my birthday years ago. It's been all those things but now is the most buy-it-for-life EDC Moleskine Cahier notebook. I hacked an aluminum BIC Cristal pen with a hacksaw and superglue to make it fit. 1.6mm bold blue. On the front cover of the notebook are all the recent codes for my homebase Starbucks bathroom. It's out of stock now but if you can get your hands on one, it's something you'll own for life and it's something that'll just get better with time. Worth the $85 to me. But once, cry once. I don't baby it.

I have a SCARS addiction. This is a mostly unmolested GR1 21L 1000D M81 Woodland Camouflage bag that's seen SCARS before but here's my question to the community:

Should I send it out to get padded handles on the sides? On the sides and bottom? Should I get grommets just for the second kind of cool or should I just leave it unmolested as a very nice EDC bag?

I tend to overdo things into ruin. WWrGD?

Was a rando eBay listing. Not a deal but not crazy "collectable" dollars. And, randomly, some signs of SCARS mods: key loop in the front zipper pocket and a couple internal loop patches. And an internal cross strap with a cinch clip. I just received it. More photos to follow if you're interested in it. I'm Gen X so M81 Woodland was my childhood. GR1 21L. Very happy to have it. What's your grail bag?

I'm not trying to pass or anything. I like the way Sinns look but I also admire the Tudor Ranger, the Rolex Explorer, and the Sinn 556 as well. I think I have around a 7 and 1/2 in wrist. I'm wondering if this looks like it fits. It doesn't need to draw attention. But it also shouldn't look ugly. I got it for around $84 from AliExpress. I know you could get it cheaper. But the bracelets really nice. I feel like people prefer the Murph version of this watch which I think is attractive too. Maybe it's even better. I don't know, What do you think? It feels solid and strong and well put together and it has 100m rating and a sapphire crystal. And it emulates a sweeping hand. Anyway, anybody else running this watch? What do people say about it if they notice it at all?

I feel like I got off easy.
