Dig or Diss | Airport Laptop Issues
So this is a Diss, we never like talking ill about anything carry. But it does suck when your laptop doesn’t fit into the trays provided at most of the airports…

Fjällräven | Liking
Who are they: The story behind Fjällräven began in 1950 when Åke Nordin, a 14-year-old boy from Sweden,was not satisfied with his current solution for carrying and took matters into his own hands. Not everyday a 14yr old starts their own bag company…
The Travel Wallet

The Travel Wallet
In all our years of traveling one of my pet hates was the juggling of my travel documents – passport, boarding pass, anything that refers to where I’m going, etc. It took until a recent trip where one of my travel buddies pulled out what, at first glance, looked like the guiness world record for Costanza wallets, for me to realise there was answers out there.

Dig or Diss | Bags that fall over.
This is a definite diss: It bites when you’re in line at the airport, train or even lining up for your tasty Chai Latte (w/honey) and you have some sort of roller bag kicking along with you on your travels and the thing falls over while you’re waiting.
And not just a simple fall over, nooooo. As Murphy’s Law would have it, your roller bag falls directly in to a young child who has just learnt how to balance on their own two feet, and is subsequently scared off walking for life. Or worse, it falls onto the feet of an elderly lady whose bones are so calcified that they shatter upon impact from the telescope handle…
We gotta avoid those bags that fall over.
Hilton Tent City x Baileyworks

Hilton Tent City x Baileyworks
So this is almost like a mix of a couple of posts, but also a post that is unique to itself. Confused yet? I am.
We have spoken about Tent City and we have shown you the review the Reverend gave us on the Baileyworks Super Pro. So while it’s pretty easy to become a jaded old cynic about branded co-ops getting released, this one between Hiltons and BW is pretty cool – it’s a BW SuperPro, in small, medium or large- each tricked out with some nifty one-off features.
Nikon x Porter
August 7, 2010
Porter have a strong history of coming up with creative mobile storage options, whether it’s luggage, wallets, or even vacuum packs. So it’s a no brainer that Nikon would turn to Porter for range of camera carrying items.
The relationship between Nikon and Porter has been strong for a couple of years now, and with Porter’s tradition of aesthetic beauty and quality it’s no surprise that each range that drops tops the previous.

Industry Insights | A giant in the bags world
Have you ever heard of VF Corp? Probably not, but we’re guessing you’ve used their products.
VF Corp owns brands such as Vans, Lee, Reef and Nautica. But where they really shine is in the bags world… Eagle Creek, Jansport, Eastpac, and The North Face are all part of the VF stable.

Thinking of buying a messenger/backpack/wallet?
Here’s some previous Carryology posts that might help you decide…
What’s in your bag?
July 27, 2010
What’s in your bag?
Bags are funny things – you can fit entire wardrobes into some backpacks, yet can’t fit more than your laptop and a few magazines into others.
Items in your bag are likes socks in the washing, you never know where something has gone if you can’t find it. Especially when you swear black an blue that you put into your bag. Then, 3 months later, you find it under that old sandwich – which is a now clean shade of green.
I had to empty my bag today, in preparation of a new one, so I thought I’d share what I normally carry around in my work pack…

When Blogs Die
When searching for another post we were doing, we stumbled on the Mens Folio blog, something like a GQ style blog for luxury items.
The blog has not had any updates since 2007, but there’s some gold in there from those earlier posts. Topics covered include wallets and diaper bags, haha. Take a look.

Dig or Diss | New Category
July 20, 2010
Dig or Diss is a new category we are introducing to the world of Carryology.
Designed to be short and easily digestible chunks of content, these Dig or Diss posts will allow us to post about the things we like (dig), or dislike (diss) in the carry world and explain why they earn that classification. It’s all in the hope that we can minimise the diss’ and increase the dig’s.
First up is, obviously, a Dig. Top Access Pockets.
Understanding Porter.
May 31, 2010
Understanding Porter, one of the world’s great carry companies.
So Porter eh? In Japan, these guys are the businessman staple – more common than the Burberry check. Yet outside Japan, they seem almost impenetrable to we Gaijin.
Knowing how long it took us to get our heads around it, we thought we’d short cut the process for the rest of you…
Yoshida & Co: This is the mother company. Yoshida & Co was established in 1935, and now has several sub brands.
Backpacking. Your tips?
May 24, 2010
The post for today kinda got shelved and passed to the drafts department halfway thru writing it, not because it sucked but because I thought you guys would be able to help me with some traveling advice. Plus, I’m in Bali, feeling super lazy and thought you magnificent people could help write my post..
Anyway, one of my friends is about to embark on one of those long ass journeys around the world, backpacking their way thru Europe, Asia, Americas, etc getting dysentery here and malaria there. Anyway, we were talking about the backpack they are going to use…
Short, and to the point…
April 26, 2010
Carryology is where our main ideas get posted, but we also have a bunch of other postings and conversations going on via other platforms (is ‘platforms’ a banned word?)
If Facebook is your thing, check out facebook.com/carryology. You can share ideas, comment on up-coming articles, and even scroll through some of our favourite posts.
But if it’s Twitter that rocks your boat, you can find link love to all sorts of nice carry. We’ll often post a cool bag, wallet, or carry idea that we don’t otherwise mention on Carryology.
Not sure whether you’re sold? Here are a few of our recent tweets to judge for yourself:
$5000 of tech in a $40 backpack?
April 19, 2010
This is an interesting one – you go out and buy a new backpack for about $40. You hope that the backpack is friendly to your postural needs and will protect your worldly goods when traveling thru the streets of Amsterdam or customs in the US. But do you ever stop and think > “My god, I have over $5k worth of equipment in this bag right now and I’m trusting a $40 backpack to protect it all!?”

A Glossary of Carry
April 13, 2010
We are by no means experts on all things carry or carry related, we do however really enjoy exploring better ways to carry and teaching/learning about new and various techniques of carrying, crafting, traveling, etc..
So with us spending all day everyday developing better ways to carry, we’ve realised that we have adopted a kind of Carry vocabulary – using a number of words that help us short-cut an idea. Below are the few, our favourite being the ‘Costanza’ in honour of George’s bulging back pocket which ultimately blows his back out.
