The most important travel lesson I've learned is the difference between cost vs price, and traveling with one bag, although filled with items that may have a higher PRICE, ultimately, saves on so many ongoing COSTS associated with packing too much, and in this video I share how I travel with one bag and zero sacrifices.
This enables me to have everything I need without paying for extra baggage fees, and needing to pay for taxi rides everywhere because I can't carry everything, not to mention, the constant reduction in stress and amplified enjoyment by just not needing to remember and lug stuff around, finding elevators, and all that noise… one bag travel, whenever possible, is the way to go.

There are slight differences with the Version 1 shown in this video, but in my opinion, Version 2 is unequivocally better. One thing that you MAY not like about the V2 that was shown in this video, is that there is no more removable mini-sling-hip-belt. Doesn't bother me because I'm very particular about my slings, but if this was a major positive feature for you, consider researching other bags for yourself.

In a few weeks, I'm headed on an extended trip to 5 or 6 countries and as someone who has typically been out of town for at least a quarter of the year for over a decade, I thought this video on sharing how to effectively pack with just one bag for long-term travel might help anyone who is about to head abroad (especially if you are someone who typically overpacks).
Beyond the everyday carry considerations that change when travelling, being intentional while also refusing to sacrifice on comfort and convenience is important to me. I'd love to know in the comments if you have any travel tips to share!

*PRO TIP:* remember the difference between *COST vs PRICE* . I've seen a few comments talking about how "expensive" this setup is. To me, the PRICE is high, but the COST is *dirt-cheap* because I average 20+ flights per year. The absolute lowest extra-baggage charge I've ever seen on the airlines I've flown is $75. With 20 flights, those extra-baggage charges would *cost* me an extra $1,500 per year... *every* ... *single* ... *year* . Not to mention the added costs of NEEDING a taxi because it's too cumbersome to carry a bunch of luggage or the inconvenience-cost of visiting a place that doesn't have as many elevators and escalators as you're used to in your home city. Cost vs price is one of the most expensive lessons I learned when it comes to travel, but I even welcome you to examine all areas of your life, and you'll soon notice that the concept of cost vs price exposes a lot of financial waste you hadn't previously considered before.

@bsame Год назад

Sage advice. As always, like you said, it depends on one's use case. If a person travels once or twice a year, he/she probably doesn't require most of these things, but what's important is to know that these things exist and how they could help smoothen the travel experience.

@dimathieu Год назад

@@franksmith8128 I'm curious about where you live to have ubers being cheaper than using a car day to day. The situation is probably really different between different countries, because where I live, an average Uber drive for a 14.5km/9miles journey costs A little bit more than 30€/32$ and there's no way a few daily round trips per month end up being cheaper than car expenses (at least I think so but idrk since public transports works best here :) )

@primemeow Год назад

I’m not sure if this is a good response to people complaining about the fact that the total price of everything shown in the video is $1600 plus tax and shipping. However, it is good advice overall, and it does highlight the differences in use cases. You are trying to pack as light as possible to easily be able to work in 6 different countries over the course of weeks or months. A lot of the people this got recommended to are the type that usually stay in one place for like a week max and therefore don’t need to pack like this.

@TheSimonboyle Год назад

Both cost and price (which are synonymous anyway) are ridiculously high. Come on man. This is simply you pimping products for cash. Not anywhere near that value in that bag. Can have many similar for much much less. Ridiculous to try and say otherwise man. Would have looked better if you'd not tried to make this comment 😂

These tips are genuinely useful. Still every time I open one of these "you're packing way too much, you only need one backpack" videos, I realise it's for people doing relatively urban trips in mild weather. As someone who gets cold easily and loves the outdoors and food, there is no getting around needing a lot more clothing and shoes than this. Especially for women's clothes, there is really no overlap between appropriate clothing/shoes for a full day hike and eating in a nice restaurant. This is especially true in cold weather but if you're hiking up a mountain, warm, weatherproof clothing is needed for safety even if it's summer. These things take up space really fast. And before people tell me about these miracle lightweight minidresses that you can hike and go to dinner in; yes but not if it's cold or you have pale skin and need sun protection. Not to mention that fact that I prefer not to wander round half naked when travelling alone.

@fjodorf7341 Год назад

Yeahhh, this is for people who (business-) travel for few weeks to a specific place, then directly come back again, only stay at decent hotels where everything else is provided. The white sneakers say everything, no sneaker wipe is gonna help if you go hiking with these things ONCE lmao. Similarly, all this is not realistic for digital nomads who actually work for multiple hours on the computer every day (just a tiny laptop will result in all kinds of pain when you finish your work day) or people who travel the world and sleep in hostels or longer term accomodation where you need your own towel, slippers (ok, this is specific to asian countries) or even bed sheets.

I've managed a 6.5-month trip which started in the mountains of western China near Tibet in late winter, was in India during high summer, and was in Finland in the fall--all with one 40-liter bag. I also had business meetings in Hong Kong. It can be done IF you plan well and are cool with ditching your cold weather gear and suit jacket (I gave all mine to charity orgs or random people I met after I no longer needed them; I had bought everything secondhand with this very plan in mind). My wife has not travelled as much as I have, but we visited the Caucuses together in early spring (when it gets quite cold in the mountains but rather warm in the lowlands) and she travelled with one bag as well. And unlike me, she has no Mesoamerican blood and thus burns rather easily, so layers and a smart pair of black jeans, white blouse, and black turtleneck really do wonders for an elegant night out.

@lelandunruh7896 Год назад

@@fjodorf7341 I fit your entire description and manage one bag travel everywhere I go. I spent three months of last year in Europe, with nine weeks on a road trip through 15 countries, and managed to bill 30-40 hours every week (but only 20 when I had corona in Kosovo). I've routinely travelled with one 40-liter bag for about 20 years, and have been a self-employed lawyer billing 20-40 hours per week while travelling for nine of those years. I assure you it is perfectly possible, but I do agree that what this gentleman is showing is geared to people on the more entry-level end of travel.

Fr. My mom is always like “why do you have such a big bag?” but I need it to hold my water bottle, wallet, charger, power splitter, utensils, drinking cup, laptop, notebook, light reading, and space for small purchases. If I’m going on a trip, I’d like to have toothpaste, electric toothbrush, floss (I need to long kind that works with my wire), shampoo, allergy pills, at least 1 jacket, a pair of alternate shoes to avoid breaking them, a change of shorts and shirt since I sweat a lot and my town isn’t conducive for the no sweat vibe, a change of socks per day, a change of undies per day, and some various travel equipment. I can try and fit it in one bag plus carry on quite easily, but I could never fit it all in a single bag, especially since there needs to be enough room for things to not get crushed, space for small purchases, etc Nobody (besides overly judgy people) cares when I bring my bag with me. I think they understand that for someone who’s only option is biking long distances in Texas heat, a good backpack is a necessity.

@randomaccount3364 7 месяцев назад

@@Alejandro.96U It's not even the most expensive bag you can get in the grand scheme of things. The backpack hobby, like any gear acquisition hobby, goes deep. For this amount of functionality, it's a very solid bag, although you have to really be into this type of one-bag lifestyle for your travel needs for the price to justify the purposes. For people who live their daily lives in the same city like you probably do, this bag is certainly quite useless because in its attempt to become the perfect one-bag travel pack, it compromises itself as a regular backpack(which is why the hip belt turns into a sling bag lol, so you can leave the specialty-designed chunky partitioned backpack in your hotel room and walk around with the sling). This is the first video I've ever watched from this channel and I just happened to stumble upon this video, but I like backpacks. As Maurice mentions in his pinned comment, there's a significant difference between cost and price. The bag is pricey, but it saves him cost in the long run. From not having to pay oversized luggage fees, being able to buy cheaper tickets in the first place because he only has one bag, not having to lug heavy suitcases up and down stairs in inconvenient places, the bag might have a relatively high one-time price, but it saves him money. Further in my opinion though this is a general commentary on backpacks rather than this Pakt Travel backpack in specific, if you travel with expensive stuff like laptops or cameras, I personally feel safer placing trust in a backpack that might cost more but is surely made of higher quality materials over more inexpensive schoolbags - particularly if you take stuff like cameras out on long hikes up mountains. Your backpack is less likely to fail if it's higher quality, and your equipment will not be exposed to the elements. I've seen cheap backpacks deteriorate heavily just because they carried heavy loads. But if you don't carry around expensive stuff, or your backpack usecase is strictly limited to running around between school, home, and town, there's no real reason to buy a big ol expensive backpack. The fifty-buck Jansport is the trademark of college students all around.

I bought this backpack along with their original bag (can't remember the name of it). I had this backpack shipped overseas from the states. I was so excited to receive it (paid 300USD). I honestly was shocked to discover how heavy the backpack was - even empty!! - I ended up never using it and virtually gave it away. It is way to heavy for small people or anyone over 40 - I think this is a perfect backpack for teenagers, 20 something or 30 something - but do not order if you are over 40, want something light as this will destroy your back - even when empty.

As someone that works on ships and needs to pack for typically 6-7 months at a time, I've finally been able to crack the code on what I need for clothes (only took 3 years). 3 work pants, 3 work shirts, 1 work shorts, 1 non work pants, 3-5 non work shirts (double as sleep shirts), 1 button up, 1 shorts/sweatpants, 1 hoodie/jacket depending on itinerary, 1 pair work boots, 1 pair everyday sneakers, and a decent selection of socks and underwear. All fits in 2 large size packing cubes and 1 small one for the socks/unders. Went from luggage that could barely close to having room to spare. Actually recently had to downsize my luggage cause I didn't need the xtra space (went from 31" to 26"). Sadly for non clothes items I still have a tendency to overpack, I always seem to assume that I'm going to do more "fun" things then I end up doing :) Video def gave my some ideas on organizing, though I couldn't do the 1 bag life sense I have to bring quite a few tools for work, that need to be checked luggage

@leftycrafter Год назад

I’m an over packer and this was the first minimalist packing video that made sense. As a woman and a mom traveling with kids, I have very different needs, but the concept here is still solid. My one bummer is that merino wool is itchy to my skin, yes, even the most expensive quality ones. So I’m still stuck packing too much or doing too much laundry. Our trips are also often active, snorkeling, snowmobiling, so gear-heavy. Then there’s keeping everyone comfortable on long flights, eye masks, earmuffs, snacks, entertainment devices, etc. Finally, as a germaphobe, I really struggle to not bring my own pillowcase, slippers, tons of sanitizing supplies, etc. You can see the overpack building up as you read, ha!

@jimthechaosbunny Год назад

I'm allergic to wool, so I hear you on the itchy! I've found a range of lightweight plain thermal tops in an acrylic/viscose mix that fit my 'lightweight, fast drying and suitable for all occasions' requirements. Mine are from Marks & Spencer in the UK, but there are probably more international brands that make similar things. My other top priority tip is invest in a good microfibre towel - again, lightweight, compact and fast drying. If you get the biggest one you can find, it'll have a million uses! They're incredibly versatile, and they last *forever*. My first one that I bought in 1998 is still going strong, though I upgraded it recently because I found an even larger one with a built in zip pocket. Best travel investment I ever made! I've worn mine as a sarong in warm places and as a scarf in cold weather, used it as an extra bedding layer, a picnic blanket, a draught excluder, all sorts of other things. My travel towel functions just fine as an eye mask for long flights, wrapped around my head, and it works great as a pillowcase wrapped round a hotel pillow too. It might not solve all of your overpacking problems, but I suspect it'll help!

I like to add two small things. First a small power strip. In hotels or guest rooms, it can make the one convenient outlet be all you need. For airports and stations it makes it easy to get someone to share. The other is a small sewing kit. Like first aid, not used much, but very nice to have when needed.

Sewing kit is a keeper. Though a dude who wears T-shirts and joggers everywhere would probably consider a hole in his clothes to be a desirable style feature. But he's only got a laptop and phone to charge, and he can charge the phone from the laptop. Why would he lug around a power strip? I tell you what he doesn't have, and this makes me doubt that he ever traveled anywhere internationally. He's got no electrical plug adapters.

@barongerhardt Год назад

@@brimstone33 The sewing kit isn't for ascetic reasons, but to address immediate structural issues. When traveling light you don't have extras, the kit buys you time to find a proper replacement, for the cost of something the size/weight of a credit card. The major point of the power strip isn't for you to be able to plug in several things, but gaining access to an outlet in the first place. Many airports, aircraft, trains are getting better, and batteries last longer but I still regularly run into being stuck in public locations for hours and the limited number of outlets are occupied. Pulling out a small (200g, 1/2 lbs) travel strip and asking to share works significantly better than hoping someone will finish soon. To me plug adapters are more of an European issue. If your business is in North/Central America or Japan, same plug. Also, the one you need is readily available at the destination airport for cheap. No need to remember or lug the wrong one, or worse multiples around.

As someone who spent the last 4 years doing full time 1 bag travel, I admire the people who can do merino wool. I found it overpriced, of pretty poor quality in general, usually too warm, and lacking in style. I instead went with regular t-shirts who have lasted better and offer more flexibility of outfits. I travel with 5 tshirts (in 5 diff colors) and 2 long sleeves (one which i wear while traveling), 3 pairs of shorts and 2 pairs of pants (again, 1 of which I travel with). This all fits in my Aer Travel Pack 3, alongside a toiletry pouch and a tech pouch, plus my laptop. Pretty damn heavy though lol

@sweetwater88 Год назад

Yep, I've traveled to 60 countries in 15 years and typically my trips are about 2 months long to a year. I just use regular t-shirts and a 1 or 2 button up shirts for occasions. Not a fan of laundry day so I've given up ultra-light travel so at minimum 45L now. 8 t-shirts, 8 pairs of underwear, 8 pairs of socks for example works pretty well thought that depends if I go on a hot summer holiday with lots of sweating. I also do the DayReady packing method: large dual-sided clean/dirty packing cube and stack a set of folded t-shirt, underwear, and socks and then repeat. Dirty laundry is quickly folded into the reverse side while fresh set is taken out the other side.

@wildwanderer6025 Год назад

Merino wool is expensive, needs to be washed carefully (like wool in general) and looks like outdoor clothing looks, that is correct. On the other hand, it's light, packs small, is warm and you can wear it for many days before it starts to stink. So if you go to a warm country, don't plan to go hiking and give your clothes away for washing, you want something else. If you want clothing that is light, extremely flexible, can be worn for hiking, the city, on cold and warm days etc., nothing beats merino wool. I even wore my long sleeve merino as sun protection while kayaking, it worked well.

@TrifectaMonkey Год назад

I find sports wear tshirts (like those adidas synthetic ones) pretty good to travel with. They dry super quick, easy to clean, compress and don't crease. I still carry 1 Merino thermal layer when I travel to cold countries where temperatures are under 0C. But other than that, layering a thin puffer jacket and a wind breaker + neck gaiter and beanie is usually enough for me.

I've been travelling with one ~40-liter bag for almost 20 years now. It makes life SO much easier. I have done this on two six-month+ trips, and multiple multi-week or multi-month trips, including for business (I'm a lawyer, so I wear my suit jacket while flying and then just have it steamed or dry-cleaned as needed). I'm 6'1"/186cm and wear size 14 US/48 EUR shoes, so I choose one pair of all-purpose walking/sport shoes, one pair of nice-looking but comfortable leather shoes or boots, and hardy but light sandals for showers and beaches. I bring seven days of underclothes, a couple pairs of pants, shorts/trunks, three or four shirts, and a merino sweater. And that's it. If I can do it, so can you!

One addition or change - I take a small shampoo BAR instead of bottle of shampoo. The bar is easier to carry, no risk of leaks, lighter and compact. One small dry shampoo bar is good for several washes. Yes, of course, hotels will provide, but there are situations that you need your own, and/or in a pinch use the provided shampoo bottles for laundry and your own dry shampoo bar for hair washing. This is especially helpful for people with longer hair! I've traveled many places for extended time with only the smallest roller bag (overhead compartment size). Never had issues with too little. Unless you are going very remote most basics (hygeine, clothing, comfort) are available. The tech is not - and most critical.

@coscorrodrift Год назад

if you're going abroad for a semester my advice would be to take a bigger suitcase than a carryon and to check it in (you're gonna do this like 4 times at most), i'd pack goodies from your home country (canned/stuff that doesn't expire in 6 months) that you'll know you'll miss and that you won't get until/unless your family visits you. maybe i'm sentimental but i got a bit homesick towards the middle of the semester hahaha and these goodies bring you warm feelings in those moments. i would definitely pack 2 of every cable and 2 chargers of each if you can (leaving one charger at the dorm and leaving one in your backpack is a couple minutes every day that add up). maybe this is obvious stuff but i've always used desktop computers and only started using my laptop abroad and definitely enjoy it! and give the video a rewatch for when you're traveling using ur new city as a "homebase", there these tips will be more relevant, as you don't pack your clothes for your day to day in regular life, but you do when traveling. it's just six months so if it's a bad experience that can be a consolation but honestly it probably won't be. my main regret is probably not living like i lived those six months when i came back from them

That backpack looks cool but for $315 I'll respectfully pass. The eBags Motherlode backpack is on sale for $89 right now and is bigger, lighter, has everything this backpack has plus a laptop compartment and also comes with a lifetime warranty. I've been using the Motherlode for domestic and international one-bag travel since pre-covid and it's rock solid. When I pull the tightening straps on it I've been able to stow it under the plane seat in front of me to avoid gate-checking it when all storage bins are full. Lastly, the merino wool suggestion is 100% critical for one-bag travel as well as quick dry underwear.

@Dracomies Год назад

As a fellow Onebagger I do have some suggestions. I actually wouldn’t use this backpack. It’s not good for Onebag travel because of its weight. Without packing the backpack, it starts at 4.5 pounds. That’s a deal-breaker. Especially in flights like EVA, New Zealand, Emirates where you have a max load out of 15 lbs. So a 4.5 lb backpack Is a no-go. For $100 less you can get something like the Bellroy Transit which not only weights much less but carries just as much. I would replace the Apple chargers and swap them out for smaller Anker chargers. That move alone would save you much in weight and volume. I would only bring 1 flashlight and something lighter. There’s no reason to carry 3 flashlights that add even more weight to your 4.5 pound bag. I’d ditch the Orbit. I actually think it’s your crutch. What it does is no different from other containers that can potentially weigh less. You are confined to carrying that around with you - and it's become your crutch imo :P I’d use different packing cubes than Cipway. Those weigh nearly 11 ounces. By swapping to either something like the Eaglecreek Specter or Tripped, those weigh only 4 ounces, so you could save about 8 ounces right there. I’d swap out white shoes and use black running shoes instead. Imo black running shoes are far more versatile. You can bring them to the streets, they don't get dirty, you don't have to baby them, and in this case you don't have to bring special wipes for them, you can bring them to the gym or dress up with a dress-shirt and walk into a club or date. I’d change out the socks and pare them down to 3 and use DarnTough socks instead. DarnTough socks, because they are merino wool can go weeks on end without odor. That will save you a bit of weight there. I’d swap out the Sandisk and use something smaller and compact like the Samsung Bar or equivalent. That cuts down on weight and volume. ie it's the size of half a pinky. That said, I’m not the same video producer as you and you likely need to carry that clunky thing - but otherwise for me, I found I was fine cutting it out. You're only gone for 1 week anyway. For anyone on a budget, instead of using Unbound Merino wool (which honestly I found quite scratchy) you can also use synthetics. So for hot weather, Uniqlo Airism. And for cold weather, Uniqlo Heat or 32 Degrees Heat.

@Dracomies Год назад

Forgot to mention that I think it's important to pack flat food. So something like a bag of dried mangos or a pack of beef jerky, ie Old Trapper's Peppered Beef Jerky. These fold flat, take up very little weight but are filling. I'd also bring a collapsible water bottle. A microfiber towel. Some diarrhea medicine. Sunblock that you prefer, since many countries will not have them. Also a tiny coin pouch since many of the street food stalls will just dump coins at you.

@L-Man-Gaming Год назад

The only thing I did not agree with was the back pack choice. I get leaving extra space, but let’s be real here, my man had an extra 10L of space he wasn’t even using. And he flat out said he does t even use three of the pockets. On top of the fact that he is particular about his slings but got a backpack that has a sling built in? I feel like this was an advertisement for the backpack, probably sponsored. I think everything else was great, but it’s pretty obvious a 22 to 25L backpack would have been perfect.

@user-jk2zm7uq5s Год назад

Tropical (hot) countries like Thailand are actually really easy to travel around very light. Since you realistically only wear shorts, sandals and a T-shirt (and since you sweat a lot) you simply wash them nightly at your hotel. You only have a single set. What's in your bag now? Yes: A tooth brush and a phone charger. Don't need an adapter: fly without the charger and buy a phone charger that fits whatever plugs they use at the first convenience store you encounter. Now you only have a single brick instead of two bricks ;) Since it's hot everything you wash in the evening will be dry enough to wear in the morning. You do need one set of long pants/long sleeved shirt for the plane and air conditioned buses (or: thermal underwear under your shorts: looks silly but kinda works) and that's what is going to take up most space in your backpack abroad. Wearing sacrificial threadbare/worn out pants/long sleeved shirt on the plane works too - I'd have thrown that item of clothing anyway but now it will keep me warm one last time...

One pocket for cash in small bills, another large bills and cards.

@EdwoodCA Год назад

*9:50** THIS concept has sold me on this bag!* The fold out mesh bag for my on-person small items to go thru TSA... will save so much hassle/time vs fishing it out of a plastic bin / tray! Just a personal pet peeve of mine that ups the value for me. YMMV. But the price of the bag is not a value for my limited travels.... so, I might have to find an alternative bag and or fabricate my own version of the fold out mesh bag into my exiting bag[s].

I moved to another country, and used to haul around a huge bag every time I traveled home to visit family. Only travel 2-4 times per year, but even then I realized I wanted to travel with only a smaller bag to reduce some of the hassle. I don't really need a fancy setup like this though. What I did instead was get an airtight storage box from IKEA and filled it with enough clothes for extended home visits, charging cables, hygiene products, etc. Now I just travel with my laptop and some tech stuff. I also leave any half-empty medicine I have left after a trip, so most times I don't even need to bring more. Next time I'll bring a laptop to leave there as well so I can just hop on a plane without any luggage at all. Also, instead of having smaller containers for each type of clothing, I do army rolls. Basically it's socks, underwear, and a tshirt all rolled up into one neat package. Very practical to have a clean set ready to go after a shower. Doesn't really work for shirts and jeans though, so those I fold. A bit expensive to have "duplicate" stuff that I don't use that often, but the convenience of breezing through the airports is well worth it.

@tianyi05 Год назад

I averaged a flight every 12 days for 18 years. 99% of the time with only carry on. Did 4 weeks/8 cities/3countries last pre-pandemic trip. Once my 3 day business trip turned into 6 weeks. My thoughts on this video. The compression cubes are overkill, gallon Ziplock bags work just as well and weight a lot less and can be easily discarded if you need the space. Also they are water tight, not just resistant, that way can carry wet clothes if they didn't dry overnight. Nylon cases just get soggy and never really dry. I would argue for a second pair of shoes, but then I wear a size 11US/46 Euro, try finding any that in size in most of Asia if there is an emergency. Converse high tops are my favorite 2nd pair, they fold down and take up little space and are perfect for going to the hotel gym. Speaking of which didn't see any gym clothes, you have to go to the gym if you are on the road more than 10-12 weeks/year. Tech stuff, your adapter plug is probably the largest I have ever seen. There are much smaller ones. Too many containers, they take up space, Ziplock and rubber bands. Anything semi fragile gets wrapped in socks or tee shirts. Glad to see you do have the second pair of prescription glasses. I learned that one the hard way. I can get by with a pair of small reading glasses they fit in a tube about the size of a fountain pen. Also carry your prescription turn around time in many Asian cities is 24 hours and cost is less than half that in the USA. Didn't see the bundle of zip-ties. Absolute have to have. Use them to lock carry on bag during long flights/bus trips, someone can't just dip into your bag. Also can zip tie USB cables to lamps in the hotel room, helps stop them form running off on their own. Also when/not if your bag has to be gate checked allows you to lock it up. Too much time in China, I have small flat metal bar I had made, fits in gap in 95% of hotel safes when they are closed, cant open safe without cutting off zip tie on it, lets me know when someone has been in the safe, unless they have the same lime green zip ties I have.

You can easily pack it in travel soap holder. Enjoy your trip!

@owieprone 11 месяцев назад

Completely agree on the bar shampoo and conditioner, I tend to either cut them smaller for travelling (qtr for 2 weeks), or keep the small bits when it disintegrates and stick them a small screwtop tupperware for travelling, you can get a full wash of waist-length thick hair off one thumbnail-sized bit of shampoo. Also gets round the stupid liquid rules. Solid deodorant is also great. I'm not sold on tablet toothpaste, it's alright for a few days though, saves space if you don't have a shoe to shove it in and no leakage worries.

Even though I am female and thus need more/different things, travel less frequently for different purposes in colder weather, and am limited on how much weight I can carry or take on a plane some places I go, there is a gold mine of info here I can learn from. I am already team merino, but right now I use thin sweaters and wool tights from thrift stores for travel. I hadn't considered looking for merino t-shirts and pants there. I will start, and microfiber is also a good idea from the comments here. The bag is awesome and out of my price range, but I can look for key features it has in other bags. I have never traveled with a spare pair of glasses but I will now. I have backups purchased online and even with my complicated prescription can get them for less than $50. I love seeing how you organize the non clothing items. You can still do a lot of the same things with cheaper small bags you already have. You are absolutely right that it is worth investing in the right things to avoid baggage fees, taxis, laundry, costs of lost luggage, and to save time. By learning what features are possible and could be beneficial to you, you usually can do something similar at nearly every price point.

one crucial thing missing in the video - total weight of your setup. While backpack size obviously fits plane carry-on limits, weight is under the question. And watchers could compare/change the setup according to their needs and situation (like, what if the laptop weights 0.5 kg/1lb more than Mac 13, will it fit the 22 lb limit? Or what if somebody needs to take a DSLR camera/15'' gaming laptop with heavy charger?). I agree that posting weight for each sock pair is overkill, but for each "module" - should be sufficient.

Awesome vid as always, Maurice! One thing I appreciated is you leaving space for souvenirs, gifts, etc. - I feel most packing vids neglect this crucial detail!

@sophiagray3191 Год назад

Probably because most hardcore travellers don't buy many souvenirs

@itzel1735 Год назад

For gifts, I always think small and / or flat - Keychains, fridge magnets, stickers, jewelry, tote bags, place mats, flip flops, dry spices or tea (checking customs rules for returning before i buy), fishing lures, hair accessories. It’s getting hard to find things that you can’t just buy anywhere in the world. For souvenirs, I pack things I am ready to replace anyway, and if I buy something to replace it, that becomes my souvenir. New phone case, new wallet, new shirt, new socks, sun hat, ski mask. And I throw the old thing out when packing to come back.

The reason he talks about everything like an ad is so you buy it and you’re likely to do so from the link in his description which will be an affiliate link making him money.

For most trips I have learned the ‘you use it at home you’ll use it there secret’! I also know if you shower good every day you can wear a set of clothes for 4-5 days. And about 10 minutes over a sink with a bar of Ivory Soap gets you unlimited clean socks and unders. Most of the time you can get what you need shopping for it there. I found some very good very cheap ‘packs’ that carry what little I take now: We have a Sprouts that will sell me a few of their plastic shopping bags. They are a dime each. Two doubled will carry anything you need for 3 days or 7 …

Linen is another fantastic fabric. It is lightweight, extremely strong, stronger when wet, also has natural antimicrobial properties, wicks away both water and water-vapour like nothing else (so it’s excellent in heat and cold and pairs well with wool). It is stain resistant and can be washed in hot water. It dries very quickly. Throw away your stinky, damaging microfibre towels and take a piece of linen. People don’t like that it wrinkles - but that is new linen. The point where a garment of cotton is showing wear, is when a linen garment is becoming drapey and satiny and beautiful. This is why linen was until these past few years always made with much higher quality seams; but you can still find proper linen. So wear your new linen shirt or pants when you’re slobbing around and after about a year of casual wear, you’ll find they launder and press beautifully, and look better than ever.

I am a fan of linen too and it is a staple item in my travel wardrobe capsule. Lots of love for linen!

Great setup for travel! For me, I also pack a dark angel medical kit, 2 extra tourniquets, grayl filter bottle, paper maps of places I will be visiting, pair of crocs as I usually have shoes on but may need something to stand in shower with or for casual outting and needing foot wear that breathes. Recently switched out my macbook for my ipad mini 6 as it can do everything I use my laptop for, hand sanitizer. Wish I could use a bag this small! But I also have a spare Gieves & Hawkes suit, dress shoes, belt, soft armor, and etc depending if its for general meetings/travel or if working PSD/EP or HVAR Operations stateside or abroad. Thanks for the great video!

@Phoenix.219 Год назад

Why do u pack 2 extra tourniquets? I am really asking out of curiousity bcz even in my hospital we use 2 and they are being used for few months that I have been there. But if u have some health condition where u regular need some med injected or u have to take blood out for some tests then I understand.

@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy Год назад

@@Phoenix.219 there not for use solely ON duty as a Dep, nor solely at MY hospital, as I am also an RN, Ive stopped to help injured, and have had a tq fail. During riots one of my deputies was stabbed and is now paralyzed by the way, by rioters... and applied a tq to an arm and also to leg of his TRO. How many MasCas events have you responded to? We had a massive pile up because of snow and reckless drivers, just 10h ago... Ive been driving home from work and seen a landscapers edger, the blade cracked and scatter and gone into a few spots on them... Im surprised you work in I.M. and dont believe or understand redundancies...

@randomaccount3364 7 месяцев назад

@@Phoenix.219 Two is one, one is none. If one fails, you have another. If there are multiple wounds, you have another. If the wound you sealed off first is determined to be safe to seal off in a lower location or can be sealed off better as the first was a rush job, you have another. This isn't really a hospital thing. In a hospital you have everything at your disposal, it doesn't matter how many you carry because you can just go to a storage room and find another. Especially in a hospital where I don't think they'd use a tourniquet much at all, because you're already at the hospital just do the damn treatment. This is a first responder/camper/survivalist habit to carry a redundancy of medical supplies in an environment where the only supplies that exist are your own, particularly of tourniquets in the case of American first responders who need to cater to knife or gunshot wounds.

Def one for the single traveller or a couple travelling for short breaks. The one thing that used to put me off using rucksacks like this when I used to travel alone was that they were so easy to break into, but these new designs look way stronger than the thin material we used to get back in the 70s and 80s. I have no need for one of these any more, but watching this video has made me want one hahahaha Nice job

@JJtastic Год назад

Really liked the bag but not enough to spend $315… it’s probably nice for people who travel quite a bit. I’m really only looking for a reasonable weekender. Very nicely filmed and edited video!
