Bellroy X Carryology | Forging the Chimera
…enius Hadrien Monloup, one of the co-founders of Carryology, to design the morale patch and our very own mythological Chimera to represent this collaboration. Owl, representing Bellroy and their brand logo/mascot. Kangaroo, to represent Carryology HQ (as we were founded in Australia). And Rattlesnake, to give a nod to the USA side of the Carryology team (specifically Texas, where I reside). It would be a patch designed for storytelling and perfo…

…her. But we couldn’t just make a Velcro loop panel and not include our own morale patch. Since the entire project is a bit tongue in cheek, the patch had to meet the same style. Personally, this is one of my top three favorite patches we’ve ever made. Inspired by the movie Inception… the bag’s patch would be… a patch of itself. A bag on a bag. Molded rubber for detail and bold colors. Everyone who has seen it so far declares their love for it or l…

…ng about that Velcro loop panel), each pack comes with two limited-edition morale patches. For the MP 1.0, we asked Dan to reimagine the NASA patch artwork created for the BASALT EVIB project. The original packs had these patches sewn directly into the corners. But we know folks love customization, so we switched to Velcro panels. We sent Dan the brief and original NASA patch references. A couple weeks later, he came back with two stunning illustr…

One patch will be numbered “XXX”, which is for you to place. Record the date placed, GPS coordinates, location details, and additional information.

…up a 16″ MacBook Pro. And as a clever addition, there’s a second pocket built into that sleeve, perfect for flat items in front of the laptop. A boost of morale Just like the KHAN, we wanted to include a little something extra for this. We hadn’t created a Bedouin x Carryology morale patch yet. But, there wasn’t any Velcro on the Sharky for a morale patch. So we made a patch anyway and figured we’d let you decide how you want to display it. Insp…

…a hand-saw or mid-size axe (Hultafors Hunter’s Classic Axe shown). “I’m a morale patch junkie so a patch panel (4×4 inches) is such a refreshing idea on a tote bag for me.” Smaller side pockets are also well designed. The admin pocket with divided space is great for small items like a folding Lapplander saw, knife (fixed or folded), pen, multitool, etc. And you’ll find a single-compartment deep pocket on the other side, which is big enough for st…

…multitude of ways. There are two Velcro piles that allow you to attach any morale patch you like. Personally, I really like the MR x Huckberry patch included with the bag, but the world is your oyster here! Load lifters, a removable waist strap, and an adjustable chest harness allow you to dial in your comfort preferences as you see fit. Don’t need a waist strap for office travel? Remove it. Like to carry your load high on your back? Raise it up….

…hes are NEVER sold, only earned. I’ve attached a number of different-sized patches to this panel, including patches up to 3 in tall. It is a one-patch-at-a-time kind of pack and that forced focus fits with the rest of this cleverly designed ruck. Purchase this Pack Config designed Team Rubicon Fundraising Patch here. Duration: I’ve had this ruck for 18 months and it has proven its worth in countless ways. It’s been rucking, running, hiking, carrie…
