ABEC-5s are so 1996.

Beats me.

Doing this for now (sigh) 3+ decades, going on 4.

Only complaint about Brightline is the bottom wears out a bit too fast.

But it's modular, so you can replace that part.

I had heard good things about this bag so I'm giving it a shot. So far, it has room for everything I carry and then some. Could probably also use it exclusively for a one night trip.

Thanks for all the ideas!

If you have a Costco membership, check out their Costco Direct Nomatic page. Very big discounts on this exact bag. Highly recommended. Project farm on YouTube did a great backpack comparison and it came out on top.

This is, with the possible exception of the shirt thread, the best APC thread of 2026.

(So far)

The Costco discount? Sublime. (because we're all pilots, and we're cheap AF)

I'm the first in line to say backpacks are right up there with mustaches, gelled hair, and, well, backpacks. But this is a good bag.

Keep up the good work.
