I used to have one of only two purple ones in existence but some scumbag stole it one New Year’s Eve at San Diego airport (along with my 60GB iPod, passport and cherished stuffed bear). I decided I couldn’t be without so now I am the owner of a grey(ish) one that I try to protect.

Last few days though it has been feeling darned heavy to lug about. So I just took a look inside….

  • iPhone
  • Anywhere Map ATC (aviation/street GPS)
  • SPOT Messenger (GPS tracking/rescue device)
  • Flip camera
  • Targus mount for Flip camera
  • Regular iPod 30Gb
  • Bunch of thumb drives, 1 – 4GB

Surely this is too much for one person to be carrying around?? The SPOT Messenger is moving to my flight bag but the rest I kinda need hanging around. Hmmm… and I can’t even think about what would happen if this bag got stolen.
