    Since there aren’t much reviews and pictures of the Neatfreak in action, here’s my view on the Neatfreak:
    (No I won’t go through all the spec’s you can use google for that. This is a review!)

    How I carry it:
    As a EDC bag, with everything in it that I need.
    It’s a companion never to far away. It’s small and easy enough to grab and carry it everywhere, yet big and complete enough to literally have everything you need at hand!
    I can’t believe there’s so little on the web about this bag! Sure a backpack can carry more, and a pocket organizer is easier to chuck in your jeans or so. But this bag, strange things need to happen for me to change!

    What I carry in it:
    – iPad Mini
    – Personal and work documents
    – LedLenser M7R
    – Leatherman Surge including all it’s accessories
    – Keypouch
    – a total of 9 pens and markers!
    – Moleskin
    – Stanley Adjustable Wrench/Spanner 200mm
    – Eden 106 Pocketknife
    – Eden 102 Pocketknife
    – a tube of electrical solder tin
    – Torch/lighter for soldering and paracord work
    – Bic lighter (since they’re indestructible!)
    – Zippo for windy occasions and showing off of course
    – Spare AAA & AA batteries
    – Insulation tape
    – a card with ducttape
    – Lip balm
    – Spare battery pack for my phone
    – Bandana
    – Earplugs
    – Tic tweezers, you never know when those buggers show up…
    – Chewing gum
    – Boker Plus VOX Acces Tool
    – a couple of Nite-Ize S-Biners
    – Lots of paracord
    – Thermal blanket, latex gloves and basic first aid stuff.
    And I’m sure I forgot to add a couple of contents in the list above!:unsure:

    Pro’s and Con’s:
    – Size!
    Yes, its the pro and the con, Its too big for a pocket organizer, to small to serve you as a backpack replacement.
    But It’s so perfect and complete! As you can see, It’s backed with all sorts of randomness
    – Pockets
    A definite pro! as the name suggests; its so neat, no matter where you stuff your stuff!
    – Quality
    Maxpedition built quality; should say enough. Feels so durable!

    Would I recommend this bag?
    Ofcourse it all depends on your needs, and since the world wide web is packed with people either buying and reviewing pocket organizers or backpacks, I’m not sure if theres a big market for these bags.
    But I always found my backpack to be a overkill for a weekday, and a pocketorganiser way to small, so I ended up with a backpack wasting loads of space and it was a mess completely unorganized!

    The Neatfreak has been my daily companion since the day I bought it!
    Wether I’d recommend this bag to YOU? As I said, 100% personal choice. If you can relate to my problems with backpacks and organizers? Buy yourself one today!
    If you just love the extra space you’ve got in a backpack, well there’s your answer, buy a backpack!

    Pictures:
    PS: I have the front flap flipped out, as Maxped intended it to be, but It looks a lot less bulky stuffed inside the mesh pocket. Again I’d like you to use a search engine like google :bounce: if you want to know what that looks like!

    “Intestines” :hot: Haha, Ok not really, but I kind of like that word, gives it a “living” touch:

    Let me know what your experiences are with this bag, and if you’ve got any tips using it on a day to day basis help me out! Hints and Tips are always welcome!
