When the world turns to dust, you know you’ll want your goods stashed in the best quality vessel. Enter Crumpler. With a range of bags built to whether everything from famine to inferno, the predicted end of the world nearing ain’t no thing to us. That said, we’ve been thinking about what we’ll be saving when it all goes to shit – and so have some of our buddies. We posed the question: “What would you stash in your Crumpler bag at end of days?” to a few of our friends.
We’ve spoken to Levins and now we’ve hit up Chico, the creative mind behind Don’t Sleep Magazine about what he’d take on the road during the apocalypse. Given his ability in taking incredibly nice-looking photos, we thought he’d be the perfect guy to document the end of days. And what better bag for Chico than Crumpler’s Dry Red No. 5, which features a mini office organiser up front, a padded sleeve for a 15-inch MacBook at the rear, and in between, an expandable general cargo space. It even comes with its own cable pouch. Chico is sorted.
We hit him up with a few travel related questions, as well as got his list of must-haves (which you can scroll through above). If you’re ready to prepare yourself, go hit up the Crumpler webstore and get packing. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
