I don't drive, so getting to and from work is often more work than the actual work, plus, a lot of what I do isn't desk work.

I spend a lot more on on-the-go gear than office stuff.

* Tile Trackers

* Vacuum insulated water bottles, food jars, and a coffee mug

* A decent phone

* A MOLLE backpack(SOG Ninja) and accessories.

* A headlamp (Sofirn HS10, it's tiny and USB-C rechargeable)

* Zero drop barefoot shoes

* An ultra slim neck wallet

* An A5 6-ring planner for the rare occasions I'm using real paper

* Duplicate home and backpack copies of things like USB chargers

My latest purchase is some 1.8mm reflective cord.

Tied around a carabiner at both ends, so I can quickly clip my keys to my belt with one of those tactical belt hangar things, and ensure they don't fall out of my pocket.

Are you Anatomy Wasserman?

I don't know who Anatomy Wasserman is, but I'm pretty certain that will be my "final form"

He's a guy from Odessa whose famous in Russian speaking spaces (and sometimes on Reddit) for having lots of pockets filled with things.

On the assumption that 'Anatomy' was a spellchecker distortion of Anatoly: everything in your reply was already obvious except 'Odessa'.

You're welcome.

Sorry but his dressing is a bit funny.

What is a neck wallet? Have never heard of something like that

Just a wallet on a lanyard to hang around your neck, assuming it's like ones I've seen. I've seen used in less safe countries to avoid pickpockets, not sure if there's other reasons. The benefits of a fanny pack without the style.

They're also much harder to just randomly leave behind, especially if you mostly never actually need them because you just pay with your watch or phone

Actually genius

I bought a waterproof USB-C rechargeable headlamp after having to deal with a clogged gutter in a very heavy rainstorm. My non-sealed headlamps were useless and holding a sealed flashlight while up on a ladder sucked.

It's handy even when not on your head since you can angle it almost anywhere.

How do you normally do your work commute? Bike, walk, public transit? Just curious.

Shoe recs? My Feiyues are crucial to me but they look kinda junky.

I've been wearing Unshoes sandals and Xero Hana shoes when it's winter or I'm going to work.

I've been really thinking about getting a pair of Keen Sparta 2 work shoes though because I keep randomly doing stuff where safety toes would probably be a good thing.

I also spend probably under $50 a year, total, on all clothes and shoes together, so I'm not exactly an expert.

I probably spend $50 a year on replacing my worn out feiyues, so you're a step ahead of me!
