What’s one product you never travel without?

@xpusostomos 2 года назад

Solid shampoo bars. Saves plastic. Saves weight. Not subject to liquid limits. I even use them at home.

@kotadawndragon 2 года назад

@@xpusostomos As an addendum to that, regular bar soap too. You could theoretically make nearly all of your toiletry kit from solid products. I've seen skincare, makeup, toothpaste, and perfume being sold in solid forms. It would be an interesting experiment to try to replace everything you could with solid versions and see how well they do in comparison to the usual liquids.

@AmallaGetsIt 2 года назад

The osprey bag mentioned in the video. I bought it 7 years ago and take it on every multi day trip. It fits a lot of stuff and is waterresistant enough for walk in the rain. I had my scissors in my bag one day and at the end of the day found it poking through. Apart from the small hole it is still as new and indeed will not rip.

Cant go wrong with the Osprey packs, budget friendly, carry on size, stow away straps, very roomy, organization and can be used as carry on luggage or a back pack.

@leapintothewild 2 года назад

And they just never wear out!! My Osprey hiking backpack is 10+ years old, the only hole was from a fire ember, and easily repaired with Tenacious Tape. (in fact, I carry a few TT patches on civilian trips - they're even good for a sneaker or suitcase repair)

@alibur19 2 года назад

Love my osprey pack

@leapintothewild 2 года назад

I utilize a lot of my backpacking gear for civilian travel and LOVE my collapsible Platypus bottles! I don't drink directly from them since I can refill anywhere and consider it 'dirty' water (untreated), but use it to refill a small BeFree bottle which has a built-in, replaceable filter. So Platypus inside my pack, BeFree in the side pocket. I also carry backup Aquatabs to sterilize water if especially unsure of the source.

Hey Pack Hackers, I was wondering what you guys do/use in terms of neck/travel pillows. I cant find any good reviews or videos on that. I am soon about to embark on a 15+ hour flight and really could use a guide on the best neck pillow out there so I dont end up with a stiff/painful neck once I arrive at my destination. There are sooo many, too many pillows out there it's hard to decide which is the best.. BUT most importantly, if it has packable capabilities, light/easy to carry.

@PackHacker 2 года назад

Hey Ozzy! Some of us use our packable jackets as pillows in order to save space. If you want a dedicated pillow, you can check out the options on our website. I'll drop a link below. Thanks for the comment! - Austin packhacker.com/travel-gear/?term=pillow

@ckgonzales6743 2 года назад

I have the Patagonia Black Hole mini fanny pack and use it on the daily. My biggest beef is that it comes loose.almost immediately after putting it on. The belt straps are way too slick and do not hold. I'm wondering if you've experienced the same and if so, what did you do to rectify? Thanks, great video!

@katieweiher 2 года назад

I have one too and LOVE it. The waist band tends to loosen on me too, but it’s only slightly. I just tighten it up to the right size each time I put it on. It doesn’t loosen as I wear it.

@PackHacker 2 года назад

Hey Cindy! We didn't notice much slipping when we tested it out. We found it most comfortable when you let it sit lower on your waist. Thanks for the comment! -Austin

@brendasanchez5982 2 года назад

I only experience this when I am carrying too many items. I love to wear it too.

@leapintothewild 2 года назад

If you tend to keep the straps in the same place, you could add little velcro patches, or if you adjust the straps for a coat or a big dinner (lol), you could add them in a couple in different locations - just be sure to put the soft velcro toward your clothes so it doesn't pull the fabric. OR... if you sew or know someone who does, just stitch some parallel rows through the single layer of webbing (either crosswise or lengthwise will work). Just that little bit of thread adds enough friction to stop the sliding. Whether by hand or machine, use a sharp, sturdy needle labeled denim or upholstery, and ditto thread marked for denim topstitching or upholstery -- you can get both for a few bucks at Joann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, even Walmart. You might want a thimble or layers of bandaids if you do this with a hand needle, though! :-)

@twistedxvengeance 2 года назад

I had a waist pack that used to do that, I remedied the situation by placing an XL diaper safety pin after the slide so it coulnt move part a certain area.

Don't bother, just buy everything in Decathlon, you won't regret it.

@bangalorebobbel 2 года назад

@A_ L_ M_ obviously you have no idea about decathlon production locations.

@bangalorebobbel 2 года назад

that was my first idea as well. Concerning sling bag, day pack etc. nothing better and cheaper than simple decathlon items. But he talks also about items like water bottles or powerbanks or carabiners, and decathlon isn't so good in such things. But considering alternatives to what he shows, one could easily end at 50 usd as well, the 200 limit is just an other idea. Most of the savings comes from NOT purchasing and packing whatever. For example, instead of a powerbank used to recharge the smartphone one can use the laptop which can be also used as powerbank for the phone during travels. Instead of fixing things with a carabiner just use some centimeters of any rope or even your shoe string to attach anything to your rucksack. Instead of purchasing a water bottle just purchase one times bottled water and then refill for the rest of the travel the plastic bottle it comes in. And so on. In fact, one can even travel without special travel items, means at zero costs for such tings. Once I met my neighbour lady, in those days already in her mid 80s, at the bus stop. She had nothing with her but her usual handbag, hanging down from her shoulder, and I asked whether she was on the way for shopping or so and she answered no, she is going to her last time travel with a banana ship on the Amazonas river (she did it already several times before, don't ask me why). I asked whether she has sent her luggage in advance and she told me no, I do not need more than my tooth container with cleaning tablets (ok, obviously she had only her 3rd teeth to clean), some underwear for change, and passport and credit card. And some homemade sandwiches. She told if she needs anything else she can buy it everywhere. Since then, this lady is my biggest role model for smart and minimalistic travel. Which I will never been able to totally copy, of course, since already my electronic equipment would exceed her handbag's volume .... ;-)
