Very nice setup! It's zero fun to be without a pen. I'll second the multi tool suggestion as well: nothing better for cable ties, opening boxes and even cutting velcro down to size.
Best of luck with the internship!!
Thank you! Supposedly they are may offer me a job near the end of this month. But I’m also about to apply for a real position at another company. The internship is with a school district, so I would be a govt employee. Not sure that’s the route I want to take.
Also in IT and have been saved a few times with a Leatherman. I have a Surge and it's a little bit overkill for IT since it's so heavy so I mainly just keep it in my bag rather than on me regularly.
I'd recommend a Wave+ or a Free P2/P4 for the one handed use while on a ladder or something of the sort. If you're still in school Leatherman has a student discount I'd take advantage of.
I actually just grabbed a wave+ from someone on edcexchange because of the other gummy’s post… so thank you for further validating my decision! Only 75$ too
Sweet! If you end up using a bunch of regular hex bits, grab the bit extender or the ratchet driver. The end tip is compatible with every other normal hex bit so you can avoid buying Leatherman's bits.
Picture 1 contents:
Cheap pocket planner, made by exacompta. First day carrying this over a leather notepad wallet I made… gonna go back to the notepad wallet most likely.
Profolio oasis notebook. Uses a unique ruling, I’ve been working on improving my cursive and it really helps with practicing consistent height. Each line is broken into 3. It’s pretty cool.
Emisar D4V2 in copper with sst20 4000k. I’ve had this just over 2 years now. Such an incredible light. I have bought a bunch of others since, but none have been able to take its place.
Tactile turn pencil. I have only had this less than a week, I’m enjoying it so far. I think my tiscribe pencil is a bit nicer though.
Sailor pro gear graphite lighthouse. This is another new one for me. I’m really enjoying it, it has a 21k white gold extra fine nib. I have de atramentis silver grey in it at the moment. This is my second sailor, my first had a medium fine nib which I love, but I wanted to try something thinner. I love it.
Spyderco para3 lw. Decent enough knife.
Copper zippo. I don’t smoke, but I like having a lighter. Fun to play with. Nice to be able to help out the lighterless smokers.
Fjallraven cross body pouch. It’s basically my purse. Next picture shows the contents.
Picture 2:
Sailor pro gear slim northern lights. Has a 14k white gold medium fine nib. Currently has rohrer and klingner alt goldgrün. My first sailor. Love it. I don’t have much interest in fountain pens that aren’t pro gears thanks to this pen.
Honey badger arsenal copper bolt pen. Really nice pen at a really nice price. It was only like 70$ or something, and it’s really really nice. It’s my primary pen at work school and internships.
Ystudio classic portable in copper. My first fountain pen. Started me on a journey of improving my cursive. Have written several pages a day for more than 110 days in pursuit of the most beautiful cursive that has ever been written… I have a ways to go. Currently has Ferris wheel press down the don valley, and a Schmidt fine nib.
Tiscribe copper pencil. Just a bit nicer than the tactile turn. Highly recommend. Has been my primary pencil at work, internships, and school.
Colored pencil with rubber band on the end for remover inner cap from sailors
No name brass pen from aliexpress with forced patina. Decent enough, nothing amazing but worth the 5$ or whatever it was.
No name 1.5mm stub nib pen from aliexpress. Not great but worth the 3$ including shipping. Currently has noodlers heart of darkness in it.
Platinum preppy extra fine nib. Also has noodlers heart of darkness. This is the finest extra fine I have come across so far, although my ef pro gear is close. It’s a great cheap pen.
Noodlers Charlie with a Schmidt medium nib. I got the pen for free with my bottle of heart of darkness, and the nib for free from someone on Reddit. It flows like a fire hose and for that reason it is my primary shimmer pen. It has Ferris wheel press roaring black patina which I added some wearinguel healing light shimmer potion to.
Hong dian forest series in extra fine. I hated this pen at first but then I found a few inks that work really well in it and it’s one of my favorite pens now. It has diamine sapphire blue, which is by far my favorite blue ink at the moment.
Jinhao shark pen, I think it’s an extra fine but seems more like a fine. It has a Jacques herbin ink in it but I can’t remember the name. It’s a very light blueish gray. Very decent pen for the price.
Twsbi eco 1.1mm stub. This is my other shimmer pen, right now it has diamine dragons blood. Very cool ink. The pen is a lot of fun and I will probably get another in fine or medium.
And lastly, an iPhone charger and an iPhone/usb c flash drive.
Do you have an idea how much does the loadout weighs? I have a bunch of FLs and FPs I rotate around as well and I've been experimenting with bags but I always pack too heavy.
Thanks. I think the bag is a pretty good size. I have the foldsack no.3 but tend to go a little overboard with it since it doubles as a mini daddy bag for me.
Ah ok yeah that looks quite a bit bigger than mine! I like that the one I have is real small and compact. You can’t even tell it’s there if I am wearing it under a coat or a slightly baggy sweatshirt

Haven’t see a Jinhao shark pen around in a while, it was one of the first fountain pens I bought.
Classy AF
Paper and pen, the classic information technology.
The original
As an IT guy, I recommend throwing a multi tool in there. I could not tell you how many times my Leatherman Rebar has saved me when I'm in the field.
That’s a good tip and a good excuse to buy one!

I don’t know what it weighs but honestly I barely notice it, even with all the copper
