  • You may have seen Adam wearing a hip pack (or fanny pack) in recent build videos, and Adam shares why he carries it and exactly what's contained within. It's a custom pack made by Tom Sachs (based off of a Zpacks utility pack) and holds some of the things Adam would normally carry in his jacket. From fountain pens to a small work light, it's an extra bit of everyday carry for the shop!

      ​​@rosephjosenbaum7130 I don't agree with the "we are screwing up the world" comment either as "global warming" is a trend that has happened before, is happening now, and will happen again. Mother nature releases more CO2 and other noxious gases with one volcanic eruption than most countries could in a year. Most liberals and people from "hollywood" do their song and dance about the other side but look at San Francisco now. Full of homeless, tent cities, empty store fronts, and steady and rising crime rates.

      I've been wearing a hip pouch for years now and I totally agree with Adam about the "Everything is just there." aspect of them. I found one that I really liked when I started wearing them, but then it was discontinued. So I hired someone to make a pattern for me and train me how to sew my own with the pattern. My pattern uses a more vertical form-factor with two zippered compartments.
      Also, I would like to introduce the best kind of buckle for a hip pouch I have ever found: www.amazon.com/PARACORD-PLANET-Rotational-Paracord-Backpacks/dp/B07BHR9YYQ I have yet to have one break on me, less gets caught in them and I think the flex helps reduce wear.
      I'm still looking for a source of double zippers that open in the middle though.

Fanny packs, man purses, messenger bags, even cargo pants and short are made fun of.

    As a Texan, I’m glad y’all are getting a taste of the weird weather. Our “winter” in most of the state just consists of all 4 seasons in one day, about half the week. So it’s cold in the morning, you’re in shorts and a short sleeve by lunch, then maybe it rains, then it’s back to cold around 7PM or so. Good times.

    Thanks for the video Adam. I totally get the hip pouch idea.
    In the summer Montana can be quite variable in temps. We generally wear a fleece for warmth and breathability and then put on a light windbreaker for wind and rain resistance. Also help later at night to lock in the heat retained by the fleece. Because of the fact that I may be wearing several jackets in a day I generally wear cargo pants. My wife has described me as a Santa looking version of Pockets from "Hatari!" when I pull random things out of my pockets but not too much because I am generally pulling them out for her to use.
    I agree with the noise abatement issue with the pull ring. I have a pair of cargos with metal zippers on the leg pockets and if I have the unzipped while walking around the pulls will chime with every step.
    One improvement to the bag that I noticed would be something to hold the excess belt ends so they aren't dangling around to catch in something. Otherwise that bag looks very functional.

I don’t particularly like the grip section. I wonder how useful it will be in your making. Fountain pens tend to like ink resistant paper and don’t do great on other surfaces. I’m looking forward to see if you like it and expand to other pens, paper and ink.

    I was born in Florida where I have lived most of my life. When I was a child in the 70s we would often have an overnight freeze in the winter so that when you awoke in the mornings for school the grass was covered in frost. We would also have daytime temperatures in the low 30s at least once or twice in the typical year.

    have only been to San Francisco once back in 2008. My company sent me down to man the boot at the RSA show. It was in april that year. Googled what the weather was like, and what to wear, and saw it was similar weather to what Toronto gets at the time, so I packed accordingly. No shorts, some T' shirts, and a few hoodies outside of the uniform I had to wear at the show, and an outfit for a night out with the company.
    We landed at 9 am on the sunday, expecting in the 60's. It was 98. It got up to 101 I think one of the days. I got lucky that one pair of pants were zip offs, and could take the legs off.
    Absolute beautiful city. Though unexpected, the hot weather was pretty rejuvenating, after a peticularly cold winter in Toronto. The cold weather rolled back in on Thursday, along with the fog.

    The Lamy Passport is the BEST ever. I’ve been carrying one for the last 2ish months now, and it’s totally removed the Pilot and Schaeffer that I used to carry from my life. It’s SO reliable, so easy to service, so pleasurable to write with, and I love it. Get you one, if you like fountain pens.

    If someone hase not already told you. Fannypacks/bum-bags/beltpurses/butt trunks are the SH*** in Denmark a now and has been for a couple of years now. Not having to stuff everything into your pockets was a game changer.
    We have 5 packs hanging at the door to the apartment and almost never leave without one.

    Aaaaaah, I love Lamy safaris and al-stars! Excellent fountain pens, VERY easy to clean and maintain, and great for carrying around ANYWHERE, even when it might be rough on them, bc if it breaks or falls off a cliff while hiking, a replacement isn't excessively expensive. As long as I don't carry my limited edition variants. So few REALLY GOOD pens are that cheap.
    I still do use my Pilot Vanishing Points more often, bc that's my favorite pen, but they're my lab notebook and crafting notebook pens, and only travel to and from school, the lab, or somewhere safe I might actually use my craft notes. But there's a LOT of times and places I don't want to bring pens that cost $150 to replace.

    Instead of a fanny pack, I achieve a similar result with cargo pants, but yeah, in the rare times I wear jeans or chinos, I always have to switch all of my stuff to a shoulder bag. Being a chubby fella (though it's changed a lot lately), it's a bit more difficult to wear a fanny pack - it digs in when you sit down, it makes you look even bigger etc. Perhaps it's because I never found a right one, and I have to say - I dig the bigger area, but flatter profile.

    I feel the same way! I never carried a bag besides work bags. I carry one to the store and anywhere I need to go now. I’m going with one of two Maxpedition bags for different purposes. Smaller pouches with PALS webbing on the back, but I slide an OFF-WHITE belt through and it’s a great, comfortable shoulder sling. Holds the gubbins and I can sanitize where I touch the bag while I don’t want to wipe sanitizer on a jacket. Jacket weather for me is 40 or less. Light chore coat, denim, sheepskin or horse hide... I run very hot

    I have a day-pack, worn over the shoulder. Actually, I have two, one is an empty back-up. Very easy to control and access.
    Standard contents:
    pair of back-up eyeglasses,
    a single 4-color pen,
    a pair of earphones for my smartphone,
    a plastic spoon,
    a tiny widget with a very short blade (Japan has strict knife laws),
    a small Vixen 4-power monocular,
    a fold-away magnifying lens,
    a pair of ear-plugs,
    a one-cell (AAA) flashlight,
    a plastic shopping bag,
    a small pack of tissues,
    a small plastic case with exactly one Excedrin and one Kirkland Ibuprofen in it...and a partridge in a pear tree.
    When I go out with ONLY the day-pack, I stuff a small water bottle, a toothbrush with about a half meter of floss wrapped around the handle, and a tiny tube of tooth-paste in there. It's pretty stuffed at that point but I still have my shopping bag if I buy stuff.
    Since Covid-19, I have added a tiny spray bottle of alcohol-water mixture. Hand wipes go in my back pocket. Smartphone in my shirt pocket.
    It is the same size as Adam's fanny-pack. 10 bucks at Uniqlo. Three pockets. The hard plastic buckle is in a good location for both access and no pain.
    In the hand, it feels just a bit heavy. Over my shoulder, resting above the small of my back, it is weightless.

That is the best fountain pen that I've found.

No matter the problem he has a solution. When I watch the movie ( the Martian) I sometimes think man Adam would totally do awesome in any situation. He would do awesome if he was in the capsule of Apollo 13 or in the engineering room at Houston trying to figure out how to work the problem. Lots a love for the tested team and Adam of course. Had the pleasure of meeting him on the boardwalk at SDCC in 2018 . He was going onto the IMDB boat and he allowed my wife to take a picture of us .
