Hey mate, not sure if you will see this but since you are aussie, i noticed the fairpoint 40L is larger than what carriers like Jetstar/Scoot allow, have you had any problems with this bag on those airlines?
Dude! This video is exactly what i’ve been looking for; a aussie, 7 months in europe, living off of one bag. they only difference between me and you is i’ll still be a minor when i leave, i’m leaving in the first half of the year, and i’m an solo traveler haha! i’ve been looking at the osprey fairview (womens) 40L pack too so it’s so fulfilling to see someone else giving a tour of how they’re using it in exactly the same way! cheers mate.
Loved the video, but how the heck do you manage with just four t-shirts? I sometimes have to use three per day and I have a separate one to sleep in. Do you do laundry every one or two days?
Aqwsome bag. So hard to find videos if oacking lists that weigh in the high 20lbs range. I cant seem to get my list below 30lbs and thinn im doing something wrong.
Hello! thanks for the video. I leave for Italy for two weeks in two weeks... Can you give a bit of info on that daypack you showed at the end? I may need something like that.....
Hey!! Super impressive video. I go for a month in 5 days time!! You have over 200K views. DO LINKS!!! I would have loved to have purchased via you. Thank you anyway. Steve
Absolutely amazing. Hello guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
fantastic fucking video. Love the display of every category on the table, that made it very easy to follow along. I will be using this video as a guide, thank you sir.
Thanks for sharing! Great review and intro! May I ask if it is possible to fit into Ryanair / Easyjet's luggage check box? I have a Osprey Kestrel 38L, and the back hard support material is too long 55-60cm to fit in, and not foldable.
Mate, great video thanks for sharing. Just to follow up below for the Blundstone 500s'...how have you found them in summer over there getting around? Looking forward to any EU update videos!
Very Well done. We ( married couple 70s) have visited over 90 countries - and more to come - with a similar set up including using the Farpoint 40 and Osprey Daylite Plus. 8 kg in main and 3 kg in daypack. Since we want to have capability of not being noticeable in a 5 star location we confine ourselves to having black tops and pants and our walking shoes are all black. Easy to maintain clean and a classic look that goes anywhere. We do not look completely out of place anywhere. We are also big fans of merino wool and use that wherever possible. We also carry a. complete medical kit knowing it is inevitable to get sick i.e. stuff we are famikiar with in cold meds; ibuprofen; immodium; tums etc.
hey mate. hope all is well. me and my partner are about to do 3 months in europe. starting in aug. im on the verge of buying this backpack. do you still reccomend?
13Kg fully loaded? What happens if you fly with an airline that has a 7-10Kg weight limit? Also, what about bringing grooming tools that are prohibited to carry-on? Like scissors and tweezers?
We mostly travelled with Ryanair who allows 10kg overhead bags and a personal item bag which is no weight limit. As for prohibited items, you’ll need a check on bag for them otherwise you can check the guidelines on things like scissors as you can still carry small ones
Great video and plenty of detail! My question is where can I find a waist pack this small? I just find it very convenient to be smaller and under cover!
I liked having the foldable bag as most of the time I didn’t need to worry about weight limits and could easily fit all of my belongings into one bag. Having the 55l would have meant I would always be carrying two bags
thank you so much!! this has been super super helpful :) i'm heading off on my own trip in about a month! really looking forward to your future videos :)
I cant find rhat Kathmandu bag anywhere! I would love something like that as my personal bag cause it fits a 15" lqptop and is collapsable. Any alternative recommendations?
Just came across your video and found it very helpful. I checked your channel for videos about the trip itself but couldn’t find newer uploads since this one. Will you be posting them here or on another channel?
A pretty decent cost analysis Aidan, shows people where the money goes, I’m following a solo lapper on YT atm that’s spending that themselves with the barest of setups, esky only so probably not cooking as much, a 4 cylinder diesel and free camps six nights a week, but they did say they dont skimp at all.
Thank you! It’s nice to know where it all ends up and that it’s possible to do the lap pretty inexpensively. Being able to cook our own food every night as well as splitting all of our car costs made it very cheap per person, so we didn’t skimp much either and never found ourselves not doing something (like a tour or boat trip). Currently travelling around Europe and it makes me realise just how cheap it is to travel around AUS 🇦🇺
Great video, just a tip from my husband travelling carry on, the Kmart microfibre undies are great for travelling :) I just bought a small case 38L and only 2kg, I am excited to use it :)
Thank you :) I’ve got some microfibres Uniqlo undies and I agree, microfibre is great for travelling. Good luck with your new case, 38L and 2kg sounds perfect for carry on
