Field Notes · Mobile Office
Working from anywhere sounds great until you try it. The laptop ends up on your knee. The charger is somewhere in the bottom of a backpack. The steering-wheel tray holds a laptop at an angle nobody could type at for long, and the coffee shop table is already taken.
We have watched customers run whole workdays out of the back of a truck, a rented kitchen and a campsite picnic table. The ones who make it work all solved the same two problems first.
A mobile office has to do two jobs: carry everything you need, and give you somewhere to work when you get there. A briefcase only does the first one.
Problem one is carrying. A 16″ laptop, the chargers, a hub, a drive, headphones and the one adapter you always lose. Loose in a bag, that is ten minutes of digging every time you set up.
Problem two is the surface. A desk you have to find is not a mobile office. You need the surface to come with you.
The Workspace solves both. The kit lives in panels inside the bag, and the bag folds out into a 12″ × 18″ bamboo work surface on any table, or hangs off your tailgate when there isn't one.
Park with the screen out of the sun if you can. Shade beats brightness every time on a laptop screen.
The hanging straps are built in and two MOLLE flat-hook straps come in the box. Off a tailgate or a bed rack it is a standing desk. On a table it is a sitting one.
Unzip and fold out 12″ × 18″ of bamboo. That is your desk.
The padded sleeve takes a MacBook Pro up to 16″ with a tablet beside it. Chargers, hubs and drives come off the panels, each from its own pocket.
Fold the surface in, zip it, shoulder strap on. Everything is still in its place for the next stop.
Hung off a truck, the work surface lands at standing height, which makes it a tailgate desk you never have to build. Set it on a picnic table, a kitchen counter or a coworking bench and it becomes a sitting desk instead. Same bag, no parts swapped.
No rack? No problem: you don't need a roof rack or a drill. For vehicles with nothing to hook to, FlexMount adhesive anchors add an attachment point that bonds to the surface.
Every pocket in the Remote Office loadout was drawn around something. This is what it was designed to hold:
Some of our customers work miles from the nearest outlet, with solar panels on the rack overhead and the laptop charging off a battery. The bag doesn't care where the power comes from. It just keeps the cables organized and the surface steady.
When the light goes, the internal loop takes a camp light and the desk keeps working. If you want shade over the screen or cover from a passing shower, pair it with an AirHaven awning.
The office setup is the Workspace Field Bag: the same bag with the organization tray in place of the bottle panel, so it holds tools, cables and electronics rather than bottles. If the trip is half work and half cooking, the Camp Kitchen does both. The full breakdown is on our mobile office page.
Yes. The padded sleeve is sized for a MacBook Pro up to 16 inches, with room for a tablet alongside it.
That is who it was built for. If your office moves between rentals, coworking tables, job sites, campsites and the back of a vehicle, it carries the whole kit and gives you a surface when you get there.
The bag is weather-resistant TPU and wipes clean, but a laptop is a laptop. Work under an awning when the weather turns.
The commute is over. Park somewhere better, fold out the desk, and get to work.
Designed and prototyped in White Salmon, Washington.
One bag with a fold-out work surface. Set it down on a table, or hang it off the tailgate — coffee at six, dinner at dusk.
