I don't use an armband, I use a waist band. I prefer it. I run the headphones cord up through my shirt. I found it helped me keep my posture better when running.
I tended to get weird internal shoulder pain, from bad running posture and breathing, and that helped, and I could access quickly to push skip if I just didn't want to listen to that song.
I use the tune waist belt

They do arms as well I think.
It's really comfy though, nice and soft and easy to adjust whilst moving.
Ear phones I use over-ear buds. Samsung.
They can slip a lil bit whilst running, but overear will sit in the ear easier than just the straight ones I've found. and it's a quick finger movement to push them back in if you feel the sound is getting too soft.

Long story short, with the loss of a car, my boyfriend has to walk a few miles to work every day. We've been struggling to make ends meet, and he has sacrificed so much to make sure that we are taken care of. Christmas is scarce this year, and we can't afford presents, but he would love to have some tunes on his journey to work.
I'm dispensing my advice from this being year seven, and from the angle of being a worker/support and manning a booth (go /r/dcdarknet) . Makes for a lot of walking and a lot of time staying put at a booth. (Note, I add and update this every year, and then save it because the question will always be asked again).
Fluids (if any tl:dr -- keep fluids up at all cost)
Note: I've stopped drinking for the duration of the con, since it is easy to get into a bad spot, dehydrated, and I've got contests depending on my help (plus you get to see more cool things). Just my stance after six years, and probably why the goons don't drink on the job: not that they can't, just that they are responsible. If not responsible for anything, hell, you're in Sin City, do what you want.
"The best things I put in my mouth all weekend of DEFCON":
These natural throat losenges are great. I gave out all that I had to the good people working booths, and got the quoted reaction. It helps for just socializing an talking for hours and hours in the desert, and getting your voice back.

Some last notes:
I've got two of these - in different sizes - I have one for my EDC bag and one for travel.
https://www.amazon.com/Cocoon-CPG10BK-Grid-It-Organizer-Black/dp/B002HU27UW
I'm a huge fan of them - and you can get them in different sizes to fit your needs for storage and what bag to put them in and stuff. Plus the hold a multitude of different things so you can fit a lot of stuff on there. I have an external battery that I use to charge my phone and ipad with so I usally put those USB chords on this thing in addition to wall plugs for the cables too in case the battery runs out.
If you are like me and go to school for computer networking, I love this Cocoon Grid-It Its great for a mix of cables, which even works if u arent in computers though, its great for having your phone, tablet, or laptop cables.
If you dont have a laptop or tablet I think the Surface pro 3 is a great thing to have, you can use it like a laptop or a tablet, and it comes with a great stylus that will allow you to write on it like its paper !
If your Phone has bad battery, or you have a lot of Battery Powered Devices, I love my Cheero This can Charge my iphone up to 6 Times !
That's a terrifying feeling.
We had to do similar when our little guy managed to get out of his room and out the front door during nap time. We immediately installed a chain lock up high so that he could not reach it, as well as door knob covers. (Land lords will get over it.)

I can't give you much info about tracking systems though. I would suggest at least an ID bracelet/necklace with his important information on it: http://www.medicalert.org/
When you said you were thinking of something that could clip to his shoes, I immediately thought of the nike + sensor that works with iphones/ipod touch. I know they have a GPS version of 'something' but I don't know if it's able to be used as a tracking system. That said, the locator system you have found looks like you could just as easily slip that sensor into something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Sensor-Pouch-Sport/dp/B001KP3NZS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1343352288&sr=8-4&keywords=nike+sensor+shoe+pocket
Ein Gridit (Findet man leider nur auf Amazon etc..)? Gggfs. die BilloVariante kaufen oder selber basteln, nutze ich überwiegend für meine Kabel etc. und ist recht Flach. Die "zuklappbaren" sind ein wenig unnütz, da Powerbank und Platte (jedenfalls bei mir) dafür sorgen das ich das ding nicht mehr zuklappen kann. stört mich aber nicht, da es dennoch seinen Zweck erfüllt.

Its a life saver for small items in a backpack.
All in a Grid-It organizer
The main compartment is usually pretty easy to keep organized if you use the internal pockets. Grid It organizers are handy for smaller things like chargers and dongles, and Vaultz Mesh Pouches are handy for keeping similar items together (I like the red one for a mini first aid kit).
I have the same bag, I use a grid it to keep stuff organized for easy access, it helps tremendously otherwise I would be constantly digging around the bottom
I have a Grid It for the electronic stuff. I just need something for the smaller nick nacks. Currently using a water proof case thingy for batteries and ear protection. But there are still a lot of little things in my accessory pouch (Kelty Redwing 32) that need a home! I do really like that carrier for nick nacks.
These thingies? https://www.amazon.com/Cocoon-CPG10GY-Grid-It-Organizer-Gray/dp/B002T0HRVY
I used a treadmill to keep track until W6D3, when I learned the local rec center had a free indoor track. Pretty much perfect timing, as I was to the point where I only had one running section each day. Now I just set the alarm on my iPod to ring after time is up (I wear it in an armband).
I tried to use a program the other day to see how far I was going, but it didn't work at all... unless I really only made it .91 miles in 28 minutes. I can't just count my laps because it is a super tiny track (12.5 laps per mile), so I easily lose track if I'm not focusing on counting. I actually ran 30 minutes today, so I've technically finished time-wise, I just would like to make sure I'm hitting 5k in distance. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to measure that, because I want to sort of skip the scheduled week 9 and shoot for 5k distance all next week.
EDIT: Does anybody have any experience with Nike+? I have a 4th generation iPod touch, do I need to buy the $20 sensor or is the app capable of tracking without it? All the info I find seems to be conflicting...
EDIT2: Ahh... how seldom FAQs are actually read. $20 will motivate me to keep running, I suppose, as this seems like it'll work. I don't have the proper shoes, but I'm going to pick up something like this which will work for anything.
I got that one on Amazon

You can also buy only the organiser thing

You might also want to try a grid it. I've never used it and I probably would never use it but some people seem to like them.
Also, to take things to new heights of ridiculousness I got one of these when the plastic envelope I've been using for years is still in very good condition.
Just thinking about your problem and keeping your tank and mod upright in your backpack during the day.......I travel a lot for business and also pleasure (wildlife photography) and I carry a ton of gear with me when I fly. For Christmas my BIL gave me a very cool gift to help keep all of my cords and stuff organized. It's a Grid-It organizer [click here for link] (http://www.amazon.com/Cocoon-CPG10BK-Grid-It-Organizer-Black/dp/B002HU27UW)
They're pretty cheap and not only could this hold your mod and tank upright in your backpack, it could hold other items such as juice, etc...
Hope this helps

To me it looks like one of those boards with the grid of elastic straps that they market as being able to organize your electronics and other knickknacks.
While impractical, you could design 'em to hold some shop stuff...

Pax has a simple sleeve case for $20 (on Amazon). It fits both models but probably better for the Pax 2 since it would leave a bit more space.

You are in luck! Amazon has lots of inexpensive water proof headphones, Bluetooth waterproof headphones, and even fully waterproofed iPods for reasonable prices.
May you never be alone with your thoughts again!
that's a pretty legit list right there. I have a trunk full of gear, probably worth almost as much as my car. I do a lot of contract work, so my list is pretty much the same just slightly beefed up.
Replenishables
contractor things
and a myriad of other small parts pertaining to surveillance system installs, and screw bits for my drill, and i even have secured walkies for when i have multiple employees on site. plus i have to admit bluetooth headsets for when i have to deal with helpdesks or tech support while i'm on site... did i mention i do a lottttt of contract work. i'm all over the place. every now and then i run into things that this kit can't handle but for the most part i come away with a rather professional look.
sorry for formatting, i've seen plenty of these posts this is the first time i took time to actually look up evrything i've purchased.
Edit: Some formatting. added velcro :P
are you talking about one of these?

Similarly, I recently purchased this shuffle and really enjoy it. Two hitches I have found are that the earbuds (at least I believe they are the cause of this) will not produce the sound very well so sometimes one ear goes out until I readjust it, or things like that. Also you cannot do fly without the earbuds being yanked out and just holding on by the shuffle clipped to your goggles. So if your workout includes butterfly or IM sets, you will have to take the ipod off before doing so.
Not a backpack but.. if you want to alleviate some of the items you keep sinking to the bottom then i really recommend these guys: http://www.amazon.com/Cocoon-CPG10BK-GRID-IT-Organizer-Black/dp/B002HU27UW/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1376947051&sr=8-7&keywords=grid I use them to hold all of my test devices.
I couldn't find any so I went ahead and bought the fake leather one that's available. I highly recommend it.

Nope not necessary. They are useful though in certain circumstances. It serves as a pedometer for your run but also does more. The gps calibrates it to your stride so that if for some reason you lose a gps signal during the run, the sensor can take over and still, fairly accurately, keep track of the distance you've run. I'm not sure, but I think it will still keep track of all your other data as well, just not as accurately as the gps would. It's a nice little failsafe I guess! There are simple ways of attaching it to your shoe if you don't have Nikes. Things like this look pretty legit to me.
I have a Timbuk2 Rogue that I use for work and play. I have an office job and this holds all of my stuff plus a change of clothes, but there is minimal internal organization. I use a GridIt to help keep all my bits and pieces in one spot. I’ve also brought the pack hiking and you can easily throw in a jacket, food, trail beer, etc. I got it on sale on Amazon as well which meant it wasn’t terribly expensive.

Anybody know if this would be easy to do?
T2/Specialist/Escalation here; I used to spend 80% of my time on-site for different clients. I went through a number of bags trying to find the right balance of interior space and professional appearance.
My current everyday is the eBags TLS Professional Slim backpack. I have a 14" Razer Blade, 13" Lenovo x230, Moleskine notebook, daily planner, and all the basic cables and USB drives I need for emergencies in there and it's all clean footprint.
When I KNOW I'm going to need to bring out the big guns (extra switch, console cables, line toner, etc.) I use a ThinkGeek Bag of Holding. The grey canvas exterior doesn't look out of place in an office and with a couple of Grid-It Cable Organizers everything stays pretty much in place.
I'm an organization freak, though, so your mileage may vary.
Get a few of these for organization:

These are awesome for cord management, or anything else you might need to bundle and unbundle
These are intended for use in bags, but are available in different sizes and could also work really well organizing drawers of electronics
Someday I hope to have a house I can futz around in.

Has anyone ever used the ThermoWorks pH meters? I have one of the cheap Amazon ones, but it never seemed to work right (measured mash pH as ~3, water as ~9, etc).
I've tried many cases and this is by far my favorite. A little bulkier, but a phenomenal tough case.

Buy a frame to get around the protrusion.
And you can remove the protrusion from the gen5 frame. But I wasn't sure if I might wanna use the gen5 frame and shell for another project. So I had another iPod that wasn't functional I got from a friend cheaply. And I used the frame from that iPod and built this around it.
Personally shipping speed was a big factor in my choices in parts. I didn't mind spending a little more so much as I didn't have to wait for parts from China. You can get this all cheaper elsewhere. I know the case is only a couple bucks from China.
However on the other hand. I paid for priority shipping from idemigods on the 6th. And the guy didn't send till the 13th. So. Don't recommend the site if you want it quickly these were just exactly the parts I purchased.
I also heard the 3k batteries are sometimes not so safe. So. Use at your own risk.
Then we are kindred spirits. If I'd had more disposable income when I originally started looking for a bag, I would already have the Adapt pack in hand.
I love everything about the Adapt pack EXCEPT the total lack of organization inside it. It wouldn't even be so bad if there were better options for organization outside of it, but with the shock cord, it doesn't leave much usable space for that without hindering the shock cord.
There are three options that I have come up with, although there may be a better one I haven't yet realized. Here are the drawbacks of each. The pros should already be obvious to you since you've decided you like the bag.
For internal storage, I'm not seeing a lot of options that really stand out to me. Nothing that says, "That's perfect!". There are a couple options out there. The longer I look the more I'm finding as well.
From your statement, I'm guessing you're looking for something to fit inside of the rear pocket that would attach to the loop field in there. Maybe externally on the loop field on the back? Well, I'll address the inner field first.
Maxpedition Hook and Loop Mini Organizer
Maxpedition Hook and Loop Medium PALS panel
Also, check out here for some more ideas. Apparently Skinth can make any of their pouches with a hook field on the back!
For the small loop field on the outside of the bag, I'd love to get something like the Maxpedition Hook and Loop Zipper Pockets which would fit nicely up there I'd think (instead of patches).
You could also slap something like a Maxpedition EDC or a Fatty on the side of the bag instead of the rear to retain use of the shock cord.
You could always move the shock cord around though if it's an issue. I was contemplating the usefulness of the cord itself one day, and figured if I ever wanted or needed it on a bag that didn't have it, I could pretty easily source some and run it through any MOLLE/PALS webbing that was on said bag.
As far as internal organization. The best thing I've seen are dapper style organizers. Blue Force Gear makes one that seems to be pretty popular and could be used in conjunction with any Velcro pouches listed above to create a highly customizable, easily swap-able, inner organization sleeve. Since I don't know how well they'd fit on either of the fields mentioned above, this is the place I'm going to also mention Mountain Ridge Gear who also makes a few nice looking velcro backed pouches. The Grid It is another option, although I've heard mixed reviews from people who've tried them. Also, I think it might be a hair larger than the internal size of the Adapt pack. I may be wrong there though.
My biggest issue is that all of these options add up in cost and weight. You end up spending a lot of time sourcing these things and waiting for them to arrive. It drives up the cost of the total bag, and starts to pile up shipping costs if you don't know exactly what you want (buying one at a time) or have to shop several vendors. At what point would it have been better to have just gotten a bag with more organization to start with? Is it a pro or a con to have everything removable?
Basically it comes down to preference. If you absolutely have to have the Adapt pack, do it! The quality is right up there. Once you get it decked out with your pouches you will certainly be able to say it is 'Yours'. However that versatility and modularity will likely hit your wallet a little harder than a bag that can do what you need it to do right out of the gate.
Now personally, I agree. The Adapt pack is basically what I am looking for. However, in order to get it where I will ultimately want it, I'm likely looking at another $50-80 in added pouches, patches, and dappers. Wheras I could take the loss of the ability to sling the bag, and the better color options, and grab a 5.11 Rush 12 and be able to do essentially what I want to do with it without having to buy anything extra....except maybe some shock cord.

Thanks for answering my question, but it could have done without the ignorance. I don't know if you've ever listened to an Apple Hi-fi, but it fills the room pretty well and sounds great. I don't want the clutter of a full audio system, is that considered a sin around here?
