In a world where every day feels like a technological treasure hunt, I’ve spent the last year meticulously curating what I consider the perfect everyday carry for 2024. Each item in this collection has been chosen with care, serving a specific purpose and fitting seamlessly into my lifestyle. Today, I’m excited to share this carefully selected ensemble with you—a collection that reflects my dedication to finding the most functional, reliable, and stylish gear available.
Every great everyday carry begins with the right backpack, and after experimenting with over fifteen different models, I finally settled on the GTIC 30L Travel Pack. This bag is not just another piece of luggage; it’s the backbone of my perfect everyday carry for 2024. Designed with weather-resistant materials, it’s built to withstand the elements, making it a trustworthy companion even on rainy days. What sets this pack apart is its incredible ability to distribute weight efficiently, making it feel lighter than it actually is—an essential feature when you’re carrying a tech-heavy load.
The GTIC 30L’s storage capacity is nothing short of amazing. As I unpack it, you’ll see how effortlessly it holds everything I need for a day on the go, whether I’m commuting, traveling, or simply heading to a café to work.
Crafting the perfect everyday carry for 2024 involved adhering to a few non-negotiable rules. First and foremost, every gadget must charge via USB-C, eliminating the need for multiple cables and chargers. There are no gimmicks in my setup—every item must serve a clear, functional purpose. While aesthetics are important, function always trumps form, although having both is the ideal scenario. Finally, dark mode aesthetics are a must, reflecting my preference for sleek, understated design.
Let’s begin with the exterior of the backpack. On the right-hand pocket, I carry the Fagun Mini, a powerful yet compact massage gun that, of course, charges via USB-C. This handy device is perfect for quick muscle relief after a long day of carrying my tech gear. Alongside it is an AirTag encased in an ultra-rugged case with a thick braided metal wire, making it nearly impossible to cut through. For added security, I’ve hidden a second AirTag within the bag’s inner lining—a tip I picked up from my good friend Technical Gy in India. This two-factor security setup ensures that my bag is always traceable, no matter where I am.
A dedicated sunglasses pocket is a feature I consider crucial for the perfect everyday carry for 2024. I use the Rove sunglasses, which are engineered to fold into an incredibly compact frame yet remain surprisingly sturdy. These glasses are perfect for both sunny days and reducing eye strain from screen time. Also in this pocket is my lucky Jetstream pen, a holdover from my high school days when I was obsessed with finding the pen with the lowest friction coefficient for effortless writing.
On the left side of the backpack, I store my Chile Series 2 water bottle. This bottle is leak-proof, keeps drinks at their desired temperature, and features a comfortable lip for easy drinking and a rubber base to prevent clanging on hard surfaces. What’s particularly cool about these side pockets is that they’re magnetized and sit flush with the bag when empty, maintaining the pack’s sleek profile.
Moving to the front pockets, I keep a small bag of my favorite tea and a few treats for my cat, Milo, who has a knack for demanding attention at the most inconvenient times. The GTIC 30L’s numerous pockets mean I always have space left over, which was one of my top criteria when selecting it. The bag’s ability to open completely flat like a suitcase is perfect for hotel stays or quick airport security checks, allowing me to easily access all my belongings without making a mess.
The bottom two pockets hold a retractable key holder for my backup keys and a Pokémon Center X Fossil wallet. This wallet is not only stylish but also practical, featuring a Chipolo item finder card, a sleeker and more subtle alternative to an AirTag. The peace of mind knowing my wallet is trackable is invaluable.
The main compartment is where the magic happens. Here, I store a Belroy toiletry kit plus, which contains all my smaller electronics and accessories, making it easy to pass through airport security without hassle. The centerpiece of my tech arsenal is the Anker Prime power bank, boasting a massive 27,600mAh capacity and 250W charging power. This power bank is the hub of my tech system, capable of charging all my gadgets simultaneously. It even features a built-in speaker to help locate it if misplaced—a small but incredibly useful feature in the perfect everyday carry for 2024.
Anker’s ecosystem extends to magnetic charging bases that allow for seamless recharging of the power bank and other devices. This setup ensures that I’m never left with a dead device, no matter how long my day lasts.
Another essential in my kit is the Maax 100W Universal travel adapter. This compact yet powerful device combines an adapter and charger, featuring ports for up to four devices, including laptops. Whether I’m in a hotel room or a café, this adapter has all my wall charging needs covered, making it a cornerstone of my perfect everyday carry for 2024.
For audio, I rely on the AirPods Pro 2, custom-made with the Mr. Who’s the Boss logo and my team members’ names. While they may not deliver true Hi-Fi sound, they offer excellent sound isolation and battery life, making them perfect for both work and leisure. The personalized design adds a touch of uniqueness to my carry, aligning with my love for functional aesthetics.
To keep my screens pristine, I carry Zeiss lens wipes, a staple in my kit. My go-to charging cable is the Span Ire USB-C cable, which handles all my charging needs. I also carry a backup SD card and an SD card adapter for my iPad Pro, ensuring I’m always prepared for any data transfer or storage needs. The ESR CH2 wireless charger is another must-have, capable of charging my phone, earphones, and Apple Watch simultaneously.
My smartphone of choice is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, housed in an ESR case that adds MagSafe compatibility. This phone is a powerhouse, handling everything from photography to multitasking with ease. Despite my preference for circular smartwatches, I use the Apple Watch Series 9 for its unparalleled fitness tracking capabilities. This watch has been a game-changer for my health, and its fitness tracking features have been fully embraced by my entire team for our weekly fitness challenges.
In a second Belroy wash bag, I carry my personal care items. This bag includes a folding toothbrush, hand sanitizers, and the Gillette Labs razor, which features a unique dual-axis movement for a closer shave. I also carry moisturizer, sunscreen, mini mouthwash, antiperspirant, perfume, toothpaste, and an EpiPen for my severe peanut allergy. These essentials ensure I’m always fresh and prepared, no matter where my day takes me.
The GTIC 30L’s main compartment is spacious enough to hold three T-shirts from Theory, a pair of shorts that double as swim shorts, and cargo trousers with numerous pockets. The middle compartment is where I store my socks and underwear, ensuring that I’m prepared for any situation, from spontaneous overnight stays to planned travel.
A standout feature of this backpack is its expandable compartment, which allows it to transform from 20L to 30L. This expandability is perfect for carrying additional items, such as our camera bag. The Belroy camera sling, which I carry in this compartment, houses our Sony A7 S3 camera, key lenses, and the Aputure MC Pro light, among other photography essentials. Of course, everything charges via USB-C, keeping my tech ecosystem streamlined and efficient.
The back pocket of the backpack opens flat to reveal my mobile workstation—a 13-inch iPad Pro equipped with the Apple Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro. This setup is the heart of my productivity, allowing me to work from anywhere, whether I’m drafting emails, editing videos, or sketching new ideas. The iPad Pro’s cellular model ensures I have fast data connectivity wherever I go, without the need for hotspotting, making it an essential component of my perfect everyday carry for 2024.
The versatility of the iPad Pro cannot be overstated. It serves as my primary device for idea generation, content creation, and even entertainment on long flights. The Apple Pencil Pro adds a layer of functionality, allowing me to take handwritten notes, draw, and annotate documents with ease.
And there you have it—my dream perfect everyday carry for 2024. Each item in this collection has been carefully chosen for its functionality, reliability, and ability to integrate seamlessly into my daily life. From the GTIC 30L Travel Pack that anchors my setup to the powerful Anker Prime power bank that keeps everything running, every component has a purpose and plays a vital role in my routine.
