The Search for The Perfect Bag: The WANDRD PRVKE (Ft Bo Ismono & Nomads Nation)
Does the perfect bag actually exist? In this video that is the question I stout to answer. For my one of my all time favorite bags has always been The WANDRD Prvke. It's a bag that is not only dependable but also very functional and practical in most situations. Come along with me as we dive into what makes this bag so special and worthy of the title of "PERFECT"
Huge thanks again to @Youknowthebo and @Nomads.Nation for being in this video! If you want to see more from them check out their CZcams channels!

Able Carry Daybreaker 2 vs Bellroy Venture Ready Pack! Which should you buy?
I would go for this bag expect for the price which is too high for me here in Singapore... Here is Abt 300+ .... Any other alternatives?
Nice to see someone reviewing this size. Mine is arriving tomorrow so I already picked it, but I just wanted to see it again. Good vid
I have this case and it’s perfect. Great as a back up sling.
Odie, we will really miss your great bag reviews! Truth is, i don't watch many movies, but always great seeing any of your reviews.
IMO the aer city pack pro is just as nice for 100 dollars less. And for the price of a pakt you can get a gr1
Someone on the DARK MATTER Production Design team loves the bag too. Lol.
This is v1?
What stopped you from placing the Prvke Lite in Really Good/Best Bag category?
Does a Panasonic S5 ii fit good in the 6L bag?
Will it fit a 14" laptop?
I am in my late 60s….I am retired Navy Officer and a retired federal LEO. I’m in the process of “decluttering, downsizing, etc”. I like my BYLT Everyday Pants 2.0, Western Rise Evolution Pants, my Prana Repeater Tencel Sun hoodies, my Thousand Miles Shorts, my BYLT Lux T-shirts. Winter? My Western Rise Diversion Pants, my Navy flight jackets, my Arcteryx jackets, and some Kuhl Quarter Zips. Your points are “spot on”. But merino products? In travel, with hotel and campground laundromats….just don’t seem to last. But I’ll give Outward Bound a look. I wore uniforms for almost 5 decades….my closet today is becoming ALL easy-care, slim fitting….(I still work hard to stay in shape)…and I need them to be folded tightly and arrive “wherever” still looking good! Good video, brother…Bravo-Zulu……very well done!
Thanks for sharing Odie!! I just ran into your content while researching the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack (which I just pulled the trigger on) and I've just been going back and rewatchin your older content. Hope you are doing well and you come back to make videos soon. Take care and all love from CZcams!
your mouth is out of sync with your speech
You're super cute. Do you have a boyfriend?
Thanks for sharing this vid. Can a kindle paperwhite fit into this bag? I checked the dimensions, supposedly it can but due to the shape of this sling, I am not sure. I cant find any info regarding this. Hope you can help. Thanks again!
Just ordered in green, phewwwwwwwwwwww. Ive owned all top brands, but damn this is just very nearly perfected vibe
Hands down, the most adaptable sling system out right now. You can quickly and easily set it up for whatever the day requires. Absolutely LOVE it!!!
Great review. Appreciate the information. Looking to upgrade my bag.. have it down to 2.. pakt 2.0 and minaal 2.0. I know minaal has the 3, but trying to operate within a budget. I know you mentioned the minaal is your favorite, but if you were to consider the 2.0’s.. where would you lean mad why?
I'm trying to decide between this and shimoda urban explorer 30l and still can't make up my mind.
It’s the most expensive backpack / sling that I own and yet the one I use the least because it’s so uncomfortable.
Does the bag stand on its own when you have a just a laptop in it?
I love it but the other downside is it works best with Peak Design case, per other reviews. It will be more expensive to buy both.
Do you like this or the venture ready pack more?
Be careful if you buy the backpack in Australia as spare parts are not stocked. I lost chest band as shown in the video, and WNDRD was $5 used to replace and $100 USD to post! Outrageous, find a better supplier because the chest strap is easily lost!
Blah, blah, blah, you come to video to see and hear about the bad and he spends 80% of the time talking about the obvious, or other things and products.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks. Question : plane, bar... it dosen't looks like so warm. So : how warm is it ?
72 " hour" not day
Bad over acting
Glad you loved it!!!
Do the divergent pants pack well from a space saving perspective
I have this bag. If you travel with this it isn’t great. If you pack one camera with just 2 lenses then you ll be fine. But if you bring a drone too it’ll be hard. There simply isn’t enough room. You’ll have to shove a controller or drone in through top portion. The 31L is massive, if you fill up the bag, most airlines will make you check in your carry on, bc the wandrd will not be allowed to be put under your seat. If you want to add more batteries or rigs, it’s impossible.
Thanks for the review! I am deciding to buy this back, and I think the 30L is better for me. 40L looks a little big, and like you said, I think I would tend to over pack since "I have the extra space"
Have been searching videos for this particular product and yours is the only one which shows the insides with clarity and one can easily understand the real time space available. Thank you!
Congrats on the new gig. I sent an email to inquire on a purchase
Can the clip on the strap be adjusted to be at the front, next to the bag? for security/protection reasons
Hi! I have little volume feet and thin ankles, despite wearing size 41 (wildling). Do you think the fact that this model does not have laces is a problem for activities such as light running? I'm afraid that my heel will slip out of my boot. Thank you for your time and your fantastic review <3 (the spinny thing omg so luxury i love it)
the contact anxiety hits too close to home 😩
Some people claim the leather gets very wrinkled over time. Did that happen to yours?
Binger of videos on bags, pouches, travel, and outdoor related activities here. Not sure how you have eluded me all these years, but today I stumbled across your channel and am very much enjoying watching all your content. For decisions regarding travel items, size and weight are among the key factors for me. Absolutely , loving all the information you provide and it would be awesome if you included dimensions/weight, as well. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and research. ☮️
Very helpful review!! Thank you! I ordered the same bag color and I can’t wait to use it for a safari trip. I did order the accessories and I think the third piece is a shoe bag.
Are you able to tell if the the shoulder bag fits a laptop with measures 0.45in x 13.40in x 9.35in / 115 mm x 340mm x 237.6 mm?
Its time to review Matador Packing and Gear Cubes
Wandrd get everything right… apart from the colour of the interior. They had 16million to choose from… and they pick black. The one colour that limits visibility 🙈🙈🙈
This whole review could have been done in 3 minutes without the 10 minutes worth of blah blah.
Then go blah blah somewhere else on another videos comments 😘
Little late on the commenting on this, I really enjoy my PRVKE, and have flown with it as my only bag on dozens of trips. The main problem I have with it is a big one, the whole carrying system leaves a lot to be desired. Bags like mystery ranch 2dap are hard to go back from when I switch back to the PRVKE it feels like a totally underwhelming shoulder strap system. I still go for the PRVKE often, but if I am going to be putting in the miles with the pack on it is not my pick. TL;DR: Wandrd please make the shoulder straps into a nice yolk system and I’ll buy another PRVKE.
hi, where do you put the keyboard in the bag? Is the totepack able to accommodate a 14 inch laptop, camera gear, tech pouch, water bottle + keyboard?
how do you think about carrying Canon R8 mounting RF 35mm 1.8 and 24mm 1.8 + 85mm 2.0 with this 6L version?
What’s the weight of this bag?
I've never understood people who demand a water-bottle-compartment on the outside (usually on the side). Using it will make the backpack unbalanced (one-sided), unless the capacity is small, which is not useful. Currently available slim and safe memo-bottles, which can be inserted easily anywhere. Why not be open minded and try new things instead of demanding old and useless things?
Been eyeing up this bag for some time. I have the Nomatic / McKinnon 25L and that’s as close to perfect that I’ve seen. But this PRVKE would likely be right up there. Next sale, I’ll likely grab one. Currently deciding on the 3/6/9L sling, and consolidating 7 bags down to 3 🫣🙂
use silicone strap stays
