I’m a bit late, but I’m using Bear (which has been updated to 2.0 now) for texts, and Allusion for images. I set up allusion to watch the folder that my screenshots are saved to, and I do a weekly review where I tag them and remove the ones I don’t need in Allusion. Works well so far.

Looks good so far. The update was smooth and everything looks familiar enough, just a bit better. Backlinks will come in handy for sure.

Things 3 felt pretty expensive when I bought it (you have to pay separately for the iPhone,Mac and iPad apps - no subscription though). Haven’t had any regrets about it since, I hope to be using it for many more years. The app is simple, but has everything I need it to do. I’ve tried so many task management apps and sites but Things works best for me.

The Evergoods MHP 3.5L has quickly become my go-to everyday bag. I choose it because I like my pockets empty, prefer hip packs and wanted it to fit a water bottle and something extra to wear. I haven’t had the bag for very long, but so far it does not disappoint. Well made and I like most of the design choices they made. It’s very comfortable to carry, for me.

One thing I hope the devs will consider for a future version is transclusion. I like making summary notes for subject I have a lot of notes on. Transclusions would make that easier and better. I don’t think it needs to take away from the simplicity feel of the app, either.

It’s been a while since I really used reminders, but I believe it doesn’t make those callback links I can get for Things tasks and Bear notes. I link back and forth between them all the time, so that’s something I would miss.
Overall Things feels like it’s set up precisely for my gtd-ish workflow, whereas reminders felt like I had to work for it to function like that. I can’t put my finger exactly on what it is.

So I think I figured it out. Imgur wouldn't let me register for some reason.

This is what I have in the small pocket:

  • FFP2 mask
  • Radix One card wallet
  • Phone (left of the wallet in, but I took the pic with my phone)
  • Maxpedition Pocket Organizer Micro pouch. It holds a hair tie, bullet space pen, paper, Olight S1R baton flashlight, rescue blanket, ear plugs, Leatherman Juice S2 multitool, mini usb stick, a strip of pain meds, some band-aids and some cash.
  • 30ml deodorant spray bottle
  • keys on the key leash (just a few flat keys, no big car key)

It's easy to get to when not wearing the pack as you can see. When worn, it's a snug fit and a bit tight for the pouch. If you put less in this pocket, the main pocket has a bit more room.

Pictured here is how little fits in the main pocket when I add a 27 oz / 800ml waterbottle (Klean Kanteen reflect).

alternatively, it could fit a sweater and single use poncho (got it ages ago, won't replace it with single use):

or a protein bar, 330ml / 11.6 oz drink, and rain jacket in the compression thing:

The rain jacket was a bit of a pain to pull through, but this was just a cheap basic rain jacket. I'm sure some modern UL jacket would fit easier.

This is what it looks like with the jacket hanging out.

I haven’t looked into how to post pictures on kbin without burdening the server. I’ll figure it out! What about the MHP would you like to see? I don’t own a CAS so I can’t speak to the differences, but I feel like the buckle in the middle of the straps would annoy me when sitting down.
