Want to know what I’m carrying in my consulting bag?
People interrupt me about once an hour at a lounge or restaurant about my gear. Sometimes people ask to take a picture of my set up.
I travel often for work. I work in many places, so turtle-like I need to carry my kit with me where I travel.
On top of that, I’m getting older. Nothing quite works on my body the way it used to work. Ergonomics gain in importance as a result.
I’m writing a series of posts about why I have these things plus the rest of my gear.
In the mean time, here is my at-this-moment travel tech kit to hand to interested parties. Note that almost all the offered links are Amazon Affiliate links.
