The growth and support that has been happening around Carryology is amazing. We feel really fortunate to be a part of the carry community finding a voice.
The initial idea and seeding for the blog came from a few of our contributors, who have also been working on another project. That project is called Bellroy, which has just launched a series of really interesting wallets…
Some really cheap (but really good) bags
Backcountry.com is a pretty neat online retailer for all sorts of outdoor gear. They’ve had an outlet concept for awhile, which has recently jumped back to our attention with a fancy rebranding to The Department Of Goods.
After spending an embarrassing amount of time drooling through it, we’ve picked out a few of the gems…
Ummm, can’t say I’m too sure about which category this fits into – Carry vs Weird. But hey, whatever tickles your fancy right?
Anyway, Eastpak, makers of bags and other assorted carry items have teamed up with Quinze and Milan, makers of fine furnitue, to produce the ‘Built To Resist’ Collection. Now if you’re like me you will need some to catch you breath from laughing before having a good look at the piece above…

There’s some great backpacks around, but there’s also a lot that suck really badly. We thought we’d pull together a spread of packs that we rate – they work well, they look appropriate for their intended use, and they should help you get out and enjoy new experiences.

We’re a small group looking to improve the way we carry things.
We are starting the old fashioned way – with a community. We are hoping that this blog will bring together people that share an interest in carrying better, inspired by ideas that help us roam more freely, carrying and accessing our things from wherever we end up.
