Dann's Gear

“Gear” content like this is my weakness. It can take many forms, from What’s in your Bag articles to videos to Every Day Carry posts. Even holiday Gift Guides are basically the same genre of post. They’re a guilty pleasure.

These types of post are a perfect storm of consumerism and procrastination. Each post or video is a chance to avoid doing actual work by yearning over shiny new toys. Maybe you’ll find that one magic item that will boost your productivity or efficiency!

And honestly, I have found lots of great new gear that I’ve grown to love myself! That’s why I keep consuming this content. It’s like hunting for pearls—one of those oysters is going to have a big fat jewel inside.

So, here you have my own Gear page. For ease of reference, I’ve included links to the products where I could. Many of these links are affiliate links, which means if you click that link and purchase an item (even if it’s not the item I linked to), then I’ll get a small percent of that sale. Using these links is a great way to show your appreciation for this content, but in no way should you feel obligated to click.
