Tamrac Rally 6 Camera Bag Review

Today for review I have the Tamrac 3446 Rally 6 Camera Bag.

This is a messenger type bag for DSLR cameras and lenses. Sometimes its really difficult to find a quality camera bag that will last for years and years. Or even one that is big enough to hold all your gear without being too heavy. Personally I tend to be pretty picky on what I want in a bag. I love a messenger type bag when it comes to camera gear.

When I go out to take pictures I don't like to bring my purse, I just pack the essentials so I don't carry around two bags at once.

This is a very well made bag, the strap has a comfort grip on it which is always key. Some bags don't have that at all and it makes carrying around DSLR's a bit uncomfortable. A really great feature on the bag is the fact that it has pockets on the side for a water bottle. Thats really nice and you hardly see that at all. Or at least I don't. I love that this isn't just a plain black bag. The red stripe is just one that makes it pop. Its not so boring then plain black. It also has a zippered pocket which you can see when you open up the flap that is perfect for batteries etc.

There are some things I don't like about this bag. For one it doesn't fit all I would carry normally. But I could take out my small digital and there would be room. But I usually bring both my DSLR and my point and shoot. I also am not really fond of the dividers. It seems weird to me to have it sectioned off like it is in the picture on the website. And then I don't know how you'd access things if you had two different teirs of dividers. It just is super strange to me. The velcro and the way the dividers are makes it kind of difficult to move the sections with ease.

 It is a great bag i'd just need to downsize a bit of what I bring to fit in there. Which isn't nessicarily a problem.  

Thank you to Tamrac for providing this bag for me to review, I was not compensated in anyway and these are my own thoughts.

i have a story to tell. it may be the funniest/weirdest thing I've done. though I'm sure there are many more weird things i have done. but this one made me feel awkward.

 yesterday while my mom was walking home from the bus on the main street she said she saw a scrabble game and pieces strewn across the ground. she said she was just telling me to tell me. and i was like well what does that mean? shes like well just if you wanted them. i have been looking at goodwill awhile for scrabble games to make Christmas ornaments with the tiles. anyways onward to the rest of the story.

 we had to go to Costco i brought disposable gloves and a Ziploc bag just in case. cause i was afraid of what would be on the game. i thought that the stands would have been there too but i was not lucky. i have no idea how many tiles are there and I'm sure it looked really weird two ladies with blue disposable gloves on picking up stuff in the grass and putting it in a bag but it was kinda hilarious but embarrassing at the same time. it was free though!

 i need to wash them off ha ha but it was an adventure.

i just feel numb..

I don't talk a lot and i'm just alone most of the time. I'm sad and discouraged and thats just how it is. Im beaten down a lot it seems. A lot has been going on a lot of it is bad. Some is good but sometimes its hard to see that through the bad stuff. I'm not reading books fast enough, I’m just not good enough period. Thats how I feel. I feel like a complete failure in most aspects of my life. I start with good intentions but in the end its never good enough. I wanted to start to read the bible, i've never really done it, I grew up in church but honestly i've never really read chapters upon chapters and I probably haven't even read 1/8 of the bible. So the boy and I started a group on facebook. But now i'm way too intimidated by it and don't want to do it anymore. We haven't even gotten it off the ground. I just have nothing to say I don't have very many opinions. Everyone else knows way more tehn I do and what do I have to bring to the table? Nothing. I don't have friends if I talk to people its two or three people but honestly I haven't really talked to them in weeks and one of them I haven't talked to in months. I dunno I feel like a lost cause. And while this is all happening my blog is empty but it doesn't really matter. Not much does anymore. At least thats how i feel.

togetherness

Sorry its been so long. The day after the boy and I started to talk its been rough but we are working on things and have a plan to work on how to be closer/doing things. And talking more. Its tough but we are making it work. Though now we have to go on free dates. If we can think of anything to do cause he has no job and we have no money. So that’s tough too.

But its alright. Hopefully he gets a job soon he has an interview on Thursday. We are hopeful about it. I'm drained but I finally have a few things going on as far as reviews go. I was in limbo with some things but those are finally done and finished and now I get started on writing I’m excited about it.

I'm also pretty blah and bummed. I am sitting thinking “wow I have no friends” its just weird to think about there are plenty of people we sometimes get together with but no one initiates and I don't want to work so hard to have people pay attention when they won't anyways. Its like there are people we were in bible study with for 2 years and two of them are getting married now and we aren't invited. Its kinda stupid but its whatever. I am just super blah bout things. I'm tired I have a headache and I just don't have anyone but Justin I guess we have ourselves and that is good. Especially when we have to work on our relationship to be closer and get back to where we were before. But at the same time its lonely. But maybe thats cause the boy and I don't do much together. Or anything. Its like we have two separate lives and nothing brings it together but we are changing that. We are gonna start to read books together first up is “the Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. I haven't really read anything of his aside from the Narnia books. But I also haven't really read any theology and who am I kidding I really haven't ever read through the bible. I've read certain verses/passages but never the whole thing. Honestly all the religious/bible/theology stuff is really lost on me. I don't know where to start, I don't know what I think about any of it and I don't even know what my opinions are. Not growing up with a theology driven house (I grew up in a Christian household just didn't talk much about theology or anything like that) wasn't necessarily a bad thing. But most of the time I have no idea what the boy is saying when he talks about that. And I don't know what to think. All I know is I don’t' want to be like his parents (they are straight up crazy!) haha that’s why I’m hesitant to read or have opinions on any of it. Irrational I know but that’s just how my mind works. So I guess we're gonna work on me getting into that stuff and maybe doing devotions. I have some review devotionals. So we'll see. I'm indifferent I guess and that’s probably a horrible thing haha. I dunno.

In other news my garden is starting to produce I’m excited! But I already have plans for next year. I don't know what else I have to say. So that’s about it.

UGH JUST TALK TO ME ALREADY!!!!!!

everything is kinda all wacked out right now. the boy and i are fighting but basically its no one talking right now. thats how its been and its driving me nuts. i don't want to be the first one to say anything like normal. but i also want to be heard. i want to feel like i'm important and that i matter.

i don't want to fight anymore or even worse just not talking is killing me. but i can't always be the one to bring everything up and to initiate.

this is a sucky sucky situation and on top of everything else going on i feel like i just might burst. i'm so sad and lonely and burst out in tears at random times. but i'm also pmsy and that makes it a million times worse.

crappy week.
