In communities dedicated to everyday carry items like wallets, knives, and electronics you'll frequently see community favorites that kind of act as the standard.

That and memes like the photo I linked made me think about a community of pseudo minimalist people who focus on living with portability or functionality in mind. Things like sleeping in a sleeping bag on a cot, relying on a docked laptop for gaming, or only using a single bowl for a majority of your meals.

It's a bit of a long shot and odd question but I'd be interested to see what they're passionate about.

Before people make Reddit style quips I'm not talking about not being well off or homeless. I'm also not really talking about people who have to move for work like truck drivers or people who stay in hotels. More like easily being able to move

So talking about portability, I had a job in another city, I would do some of it from home like CAD work and then drive into town a few days a week to run machine tools etc. I had a system of bags I lived out of. My backpack which contained my laptop and my portable "office," my tool bag in which I have a wide variety of capability, and a duffel bag with clothing, toiletries and such to keep a man running for 3 days. I could carry all three at once with a free hand and I can be ready for a 4 day, 3 night away mission in minutes.

Somehow that sounds a bit threatening, like Liam Neeson in that one oft-memed scene.

fear a man that carries a framing hammer and a gas powered soldering iron in the same bag.

What about a ball peen hammer and a battery powered soldering iron?

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Depends on the soldering iron. I've got a Craftsman brand one that runs on drill batteries and it's got a little too much oompf, it'll burn itself up if you leave it on high. But shit like that "Cold Heat" one they were selling in infomercials? Nah those have never produced a single solder joint.

I've got one of those milwaukee ones that my work bought me but I want to get that fancy one from ifixit, mostly I just want to try it out.

Side-zip duffel bags are awesome. I had to live across town for a couple days, and 90% of my clothes fit in two largeish bags.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
