Out-Of-Office Starter Kit — The Note
I'm heading out on vacation. Before I go, three things I actually bought for the trip — plus a quick appendix of deals still running while I'm away.
Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 20L
I just pulled the trigger on The Venture Ready Pack for this trip. It features 20L, laptop sleeve, water bottle pocket on the side, magnetic front pocket for the stuff you need every 10 minutes. It moves well between carry-on and day-tripping without feeling like a compromise either way.
Right now it has an extra 15% off (15FOR15) at The Last Hunt, which brings it down to about $210 from $329.

INIU P24-E1 Power Bank
This one is doing three jobs: wall charger, power bank, and the USB-C cable is built in. 10,000mAh, 45W output — fast enough for a laptop top-up. No extra brick in the bag, no hunting for a cable. $39.99 direct from INIU with free shipping.
The only thing to know: the wall charger function maxes at 30W, so it won't replace a dedicated laptop charger. For a phone, tablet, and keeping things moving through a long travel day, it's exactly right.
PGYTECH ONEGO Drawstring Bag
This is a camera bag that doesn't look like a camera bag. Padded, water-resistant, fits a mirrorless body with a lens attached. The shoulder strap detaches and works as a carry handle. There's a hidden AirTag pocket built in. It packs flat inside a larger bag when you don't need it, which is the part I actually care about.
It's available around $50 CAD, and 20% off right now with code PJ5E20 at checkout.
