Guess I misunderstood [tech bag] as something else. Might be going more in depth than you even planned so take my spiel with a grain of salt. If it’s work stuff that’s a bit harder but you could try separating some of that stuff out into a secondary bag. Sounds like you’ve thought pretty hard about ditching certain things, I’d just encourage continuing to assess, maybe even making an inventory of your stuff and recording how much you use each item in a certain period of time. Consider within your budget what you could replace for lighter/smaller options, ex I used to EDC a full size multitool until I realized a small one gives me most of what I need daily and only carry the big one during certain work days. Hopefully some of that helped.
