Chase & Bo's Favorite Bags... sort of (NN Podcast EP 18)

If you want to get notified when the newest bags and travel gear drops, be sure to sign up to the NNewsletter 👉 https://nomadsnation.com/newsletter/ 🎙️ Welcome to Episode 18 of the Nomads Nation Podcast! This episode takes a fun turn into the world of cold plunges, ice baths, and cold showers—where growth meets discomfort (and shivering ❄️). Aaron gives his take on Chase’s now-viral ice bath video, Bo shares his own frosty plunge experience, and we dive into how cold exposure ties into self-growth, men’s groups, and personal development. Yep... we’re going deep. Of course, it wouldn't be a Nomads Nation episode without some serious bag talk. We break down our picks for the best sling bags, small backpacks, EDC essentials, and even make a case for the most underrated carry of all: the tote bag. If you're into gear, growth, and a little bit of chill (literally and figuratively), this one's packed with good vibes, solid takes, and plenty of nerdy carry goodness. 🧠💼 00:00 - Intro 02:28 - Aaron's opinion on Chase's ice bath video 05:26 - Aaron's Dry January 06:19 - Bo's cold plunge experience 07:17 - Chase's cold shower experience 09:54 - Overlap between carry community and self-growth 13:41 - Men's groups and personal development 19:11 - Best Slings discussion 31:05 - Best Small Backpacks discussion 40:00 - Best EDC backpack discussion 59:46 - Best Tote bag discussion ********** 🌐 Sign up to the NNewsletter ➡️ https://nomadsnation.com/newsletter/ 😊 Connect with gear-heads on the NN Subreddit ➡️   / nomads_nation   🤝 Buy/sell used bags on the NN Marketplace ➡️ https://marketplace.nomadsnation.com/
