Venture Pouch Review
This is one of my favorite pouches that I discovered in 2025. The Venture Pouch changed the way I carry my stationery, my tech and everything else.
What unlocked it for me is carrying stationery and pens on one side and all the tech I need on the other. It all fits really well, and it stacks with my leather traveler's notebook because the two have basically the same footprint.
Check buying optionsPros
- One side holds my stationery and pens, and the other side holds my tech.
- It carries a lot and everything still fits really well.
- It has basically the same footprint as my leather traveler's notebook, so the two stack.
- Tombow brush markers fit in it.
Cons
- The tech side has no extra pockets, so cables bunch up together.
- I would like to see mesh pockets on that side in a V2.

The stationery side
One side of the pouch is all my stationery. I have brush Tombows in green, yellow, red and blue, which are some of the colors I use for color coding. Sometimes planning with my wife requires different colors, so I keep those there.
I also carry Microns for sketches. These are my favorites for engineering sketches or anything I need to draw on paper and carry with me.
There is a super fine tip 0.38 Muji pen that writes amazingly, and the fine tip keeps the writing super neat. Last is a brush pen for lettering or anything that needs a thicker line, which comes in handy quite a bit.
A lot of this stays the same from my earlier video on what I carry on this side, but I have switched a few things around.
The tech side
The other side is what unlocked this pouch for me: stationery and pens on one side and all the tech I have been needing on the other.
I carry a Ridge power bank with a couple of cables built in, including an Apple Watch charger and a phone charger, so I can charge multiple things at once.
There is also a UGREEN 65 watt Nexode Pro charger. It is really thin, the prongs fold back, and it fits in those weird hotel outlets.
It has enough juice to power a MacBook, and it charges my iPad flawlessly.
I also keep a Samsung SSD, where I edit many of the videos on my channel and some of the podcasts I record with an engineering friend.
An Olight Oclip light in green is compact and has a magnet built in, so I can attach it to things or hang it. Wired headphones, cable adapters, wipes, a nail clipper and a couple of rosaries fit in too.
What I would change
My wish for a V2 is some additional pockets on the tech side, where I can put cables and little things.
They do not have to be big. Mesh like the pockets on the stationery side would work. Right now the cables on that side just bunch together.
My favorite thing about this pouch is the form factor, and how it stacks with my leather traveler's notebook. It is basically the same footprint, and I love that.
