I'm currently using a small Cabela's duffel with a soft cooler stuffed inside of it. I need extra storage pockets because I spend so much time at work and carry a big part of my life around with me.
I need a pocket for a pill organizer, first aid supplies, tooth picks and such.
Another pocket for my phone charger, ear buds, and electronic accessories
Another pocket for spare welding beanies
A pocket for silverware, salt and pepper, and condiment packs.
And a pocket for pens, pencils, and odd items
I'd like to find a lunch cooler made for the working guy who spends lots of time away from home. The subject has appeared here before
Get a big soft sided/hard liner insert one with the adjustable shoulder strap in the sporting goods dept at Wallyworld. Use different small containers for all of the stuff you have. Put the welding beanies in a large zip lock bag. Been using that type for 25+ years. My son in law is a welder but he carries one of those plastic ones with the roll over lid. That fuggin thing is so big, I once saw him pack a 12 volt vehicle battery out the gate in it.

Back in the 1970's I was working at the Trane plant in Clarksville TN. There was this fellow there who had the biggest lunchbox I'd ever seen. I figured he must have had one heck of an appetite. Wrong......he'd rigged that box so he could carry out stuff he was stealing. I was told that he had at least one of every type of tool the plant had, in addition to enough nuts, bolts, electrical connectors, and pipe fittings to stock a store with. He even walked out of there with a 20 foot log chain wrapped around his waist. I'm also sure he wasn't the only one doing that. I even heard of one guy who managed to steal a whole central A/C-heat unit for his house.
I use a Swiss back pack for all my possibles. I carry a simple soft Igloo for lunch only. I’d hate for my lunch & stuff to get “mixed”. I have stumbled & fallen on two separate occasions. We have to traverse turnstiles at each work location. The back pack keeps my not so narrow-ness as slim a profile as possible. The walks in to my work station ranges from 150-300 yards.
I carry my rain suit, necessary bathroom items (lens solutions, pills, glucose kit, fingernail clippers, etc.), pens, shades, phone charge cord, gloves, head cover, flashlight.....you get the picture.
In my lunch cooler I carry lunch. It is the smaller Igloo 12 oz Playmate.

went to lunch the other day with a guy who had a murse
the waitress knocked it off the stool and she apologized for knocking over his purse (she thought it was the woman sitting next to him) and he got all offended saying "its a BAG, not a purse"
dude, if it walks like a duck......
The white and red igloo cooler was a stable around my house (along with the blue/green freezer pack) growing up but no pockets. I actually like the backpack idea.

I use a fridge. In the winter, I get up from my computer chair, pick up my coffee cup and wander in to see what's in the fridge. In summer, I get out of my deck chair and wander in to see what's in the fridge.
