A handwritten page in a notebook explaining why getting a pouch is a good idea, along with a drawing demonstrating the ideal size.

As evident from the notebook, I was thinking about pouches this morning. I was inspired by Adam Savage’s YouTube video. His company makes nice sturdy ones, but they also have a nice sturdy price - a set of 5 for $125. That’s a bit much, so I spent a good chunk of time looking for ones on Amazon and elsewhere, realizing in the process that the good ones cost over $10.

Thinktank, the makers of my awesome camera messenger bag, make a nice looking one at the size I’m looking for (more or less) for $16. I might end up with two of those and probably pay around $50 with tax and delivery. Actually, they’re available on Amazon, so I can get them for a bit over $30 if I want two.

These will be useful for hygiene/shower stuff (toothbrush, contact lenses, solution, glasses, nail clipper, etc.) and charges for both my phones with extra cables. If I find the older pouch I buried around this room somewhere, I will have three total and use one from the two I’m going to get for my pens and notebook, which are scattered right now without a suitable placement.
