Best Small Everyday Carry Backpack | Minimalist Pack With Me
Able Carry has done it again, this time designing one of the most comfortable everyday carry bags on the market today. From the thick, plush straps to the padded, sturdy back, you'll barely realize your carrying it. I took the bag along for a day out at the Lincoln Park Zoo to really test it out and I gotta say, this might be the perfect bag for your everyday carry needs. Join me for an in-depth look at the Able Carry Thirteen Daybag and stick around until the end to see how I pack this up for a day out.

Also, wanted to ask if you saw the “Paul McCartney” sign, east of Arcadia, Oklahoma; in 2008, Paul and his girlfriend Nancy drove the old Route 66 road, to celebrate his 66th birthday, in a 1989 Ford Bronco. They weren’t sure if they were still on the old Route, and stopped and asked a man who was outside working. He assured him they were, then realized who it was, did not have his phone … but now there’s a sign. Enjoy your videos and jazz music selections! Keep it them coming
I didn’t even know that was there - So cool though! I totally would’ve stopped if I knew. Thanks so much for watching!
Stayed at the Blue Swallow last year, charming place, great hosts
That’s awesome! Such a cool, iconic place!
Such a cozy video!
Thanks so much for watching!
Able Carry bags are so nice. The Daily Plus is my dream bag, but it's quite expensive and there would be customs charges for me too. Maybe one day! Keep making these relaxing videos!
So nice but definitely an investment! Thanks so much for watching!
To me, it looks like it has very small openings and is harder to load and see what you have inside. Like the color, though.
I stuffed it pretty full with the umbrella and water bottle. I’d say just use one or the other and you’ll have tons of room and will be able to see better!
That was awesome.
Thanks for watching!
"I give your shows 5 stars because they are the best packing videos ever. You should do some in Seattle for two weeks. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. We subscribed already. Maybe you should do this more often. Thank you for what you do. It makes me and mom happy. ❤👍🏾😎" (From Rosie my 8 year old). I would like to add that watching your videos has become a tradition for the two of us. I sincerely appreciate your editing, again. She has gained so much confidence reading the subtitles of each item as you present it. Thank you for what you are creating on the internet and memories within my household.❤
This is too nice! Thanks so much for watching and for the support each week!
That 3rd polo would definitely benefit from an iron!!
lol. Send me a rec for a good travel one
@@outenthelights don’t need a travel iron just needs an iron before you travel!!!
Haha just messing around.
What was the approx weight if you remember?
Hmm honestly no idea. I know the bag itself weights 3 lbs 8 ounces though. Whatever it was, I had no problems traveling internationally with this setup.
Much too small for a weekend bag. Maybe for just overnight ... your bag was stuffed to the gills, and I can't imagine your clothes would look any kind of presentable after being squished like that for a few hours travel. Maybe as an every day carry....
Yep, you’re totally right! I don’t think it’s too small liter wise though. I’ve traveled with under 15 liter bags before just fine. It’s more of the triangular shape that makes it pretty tough to pack so this is definitely more of a budget everyday carry!
It’s a tad small, but there’s definitely room to compress stuff into the main bucket of the bag. It seems to me that the small items would still fit into the small spaces between the shirts.
Absolutely! Socks could definitely be placed better between the shirts.
Wish they made it in xpac
Have you checked out Aer’s Day Pack 3? It’s like a little bigger at 14L but it looks pretty similar and comes in the x-pac!
@@outenthelights I’ve been thinking about it. But this slim profile 🤌🏽🤌🏽
❤❤
This was incredibly helpful. Ive just downsized from a pakt to a evergoods bag and needed a place to sell my pakt bag.
Awesome! So glad it was helpful! Which Evergoods did ya go with?
Nice list! Another great reseller is Huckberry. Their collab versions are nice refinements and they have pieces on sale constantly.
Good choice! Huckberry is super solid! They also have some nice CZcams videos too!
❣❣❣
Love the chill jazz. Chicago is a great city❤
I’ve learned to love it over the years
How would you plan for a more longevity trip to multiple climates? both cold and hot weather?
Probably not too much differently overall. Maybe a packable jacket, some boots instead of sneakers, etc.
No backlit IPS on the gameboy is crazy as its super easy to mod.
I like playing it in its original from. The kits from Funny Playing are cool though. Maybe in the future.
I usually use the hotel's compli tiny soap bars/shower gels to wash my clothes and (for germaphobes like yours truly) bring/use a foldable silicone bowl or one of those foldable nylon dog bowls to do my laundry in.
That’s awesome, love the dog bowl idea!
I bring oxyclean in a ziplock bag with strip detergent and a scrubba bag.
Heavy duty! That’s awesome!
I like the concept of travel laundry. However, I find it unappealing to clean my clothes in a sink that may have been used by other hotel guests to wash their hands and spit while brushing their teeth. Even though cleaning services do their best, how can one be certain that the sink is completely sanitized?
As an alternative, you can bring a roll-top dry bag (sea to summit and outdoor research are good brands) or scrubba bag (a bit more expensive) for laundry. Use it as a compression packing cube while traveling and "wash machine" for laundry.
Yeah totally get that. Definitely not for everyone. I guess there are some other ways to potentially do it without putting your clothes in the sink like maybe putting the laundry sheet in a glass of water instead and then kind of pouring it onto any clothes you need to wash while holding them up in the shower. Might be more of a hassle but could solve the problem.
Great suggestion @jpriddle
I use my bar soap - Dr Bronner's cut down for travel. I use it for laundry as well as shampoo and body wash. If at hotel I will use a spare towel to dry clothes by squeezing by hand before rolling it in a towel and standing on it to squeeze out extra moisture. I find that dries much faster than squeezing alone.
That’s awesome! That Dr Bronners really does it all. And good call on rolling in the towel!
Dang, they made a pretty damn nice suitcase.
Love everything from Aer!
Loving the chill vibes packing videos ❤️
Thank you so much for watching!
How tall are you?! The bag looks small when you’re holding it! Pls let a 5 foot woman wear it!! Im tiny haha
Haha it’s just a small bag! I’m 5’9”. I like the small footprint though and think it fits well!
I think this is the bag I need!
Couldn’t recommend it more!
Very nice. I have the OG kickstarter version of this bag (with the shoe/sweaty clothes compartment). Not nearly as refined as they are now, but I still keep it in rotation.
That’s so cool you got the original!
2:36 Did you make these pictures? Some of them have really vintage vibe💛 What film did you exactly use?
I sure did! I believe I used some Ilford HP5. Took them in LA, Philly, SF, Chicago a few years back.
Love the jazz!
Thanks for watching!
This is the most gloriously shot video of a basic suitcase I have ever seen.
Haha. Thank you for watching!
have you considered getting a emulation handheld device? something like the miyoo mini or the RG35XXSP?
Yeah! My brother has the miyoo mini plus so I’ve tried that out and it’s super fun. Love that Anbernic one you mentioned too, especially the GB Advanced SP form factor - so cool. Also really like the RG280V - seems like a nice size. Which system do you use?
This looks to be a well designed bag, and you can't deny that it's beautiful! Its price point is more than I want to spend. I have a 19" soft sided spinner by Travelpro, and a hard sided full size carry on that I picked up locally. They've worked well for me. Cool video - liked the upbeat music and your thorough review.
Thanks so much for the continued support! I love how thoughtfully designed Aer products are! They are so aesthetically beautiful. That being said, I do think for the most part I’ll be sticking to backpacks but this is nice for something like packing for a formal occasion.
Interesting but not for me at least for carry on. I only use hard cases when on trips where I might be doing shopping or bringing gifts. And then it would be a mid size suit case. I would be interested to see your use case as it doesn't seem typical for your usual needs.
You’re totally right, this isn’t my usual type of bag. I’ll still stick to the small personal item backpacks for 99% of my trips but having this in the lineup now for any kind of formal occasion is really nice. It’s the right size for a suit and dress shoes and it’s wedding season right now so it’ll get a little use soon. I’ll be doing a video in the coming weeks with this suitcase on this exact thing - packing for weddings.
Great video! I’ve been in the market for a new rollie bag and I love that color way 😍
Definitely suggest this one! Aer is such high quality for the price!
Text is tiny on the screen
Noted!
I always see reviewers talk about bag pockets for keys or wallets. I would NEVER even consider keeping my keys or wallet in a bag. Much too easy to lose, or get stolen. Keys and wallet ALWAYS stay on your person. (not that I am saying you are advocating that).
Yeah another good option is a cross body sling for every day carry stuff so you can keep everything close and secure!
No packing cube? I don't approve it 😜
The bag is the size and shape of a packing cube haha
Where to get those tees?
My friend keesholterman.com made the Wayne’s World one and I got the MF DOOM and Beastie Boys tees through www.michaelkreiserart.com!
I use a similar Duffel that I've had for years. It's great for the gym. Plenty of room to throw in my work clothes (i don't have a locker). I usually keep my training clothes, water bottle, first aid kit, protective glasses in their with a small hand towel. Even though it's packable I've not used that function as it's dedicated use. Love the light weight and durable fabric. Also it's not expensive so I don't have to baby it.
That’s awesome! Definitely seems like this is the best use case for a bag like this.
So efficient 😊
Thank you! I try!
You never bring a towel ? Or it depens on every person ?
A towel when traveling? No I can’t say I ever do. I’ll bring a small one if I’m using this for the gym though.
Here I am again to say I love how things pack into themselves but damn 25L into this little thing? Nice!!! I can’t agree more about a rain jacket vs umbrella. Wayne’s World shirt is top notch lol. I’d probably use it as a gym bag!
I think packable bags are cool in theory, especially if you just want to throw an extra in your main travel bag as a just in case but I think I’m with you on just using this as a gym bag.
I LOVE Baggu bags! I actually have the same one you mentioned just in a different color. Such a great tote bag to have and I would recommend to anyone.
They are the best! The duck bags are so simple but so well made!
Looks like a nice bag for the price point. Well made with thoughtful features, such as the trolley strap hack. Easy to stuff into its pocket, versus a complicated fold. Great review!
Yeah, for packable bags, this is for sure the premium choice!
I liked the relaxing music and really appreciated that you dropped it back for the dialogue, it put me into a "buying a backpack" mood.
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Matador is really really awesome! Definitely a great color and size. Things that zip into themselves always catch my eye.
Same! It’s a unique bag for sure!
Nice little bag with great color. Wish there was just a bit more structure in the bag and a bit of back padding. Maybe a packing cube would stiffen it up some.
Totally agree! I wouldn’t suggest using this as your only bag when traveling because of the lack of support but it’s a nice option to throw a few things in for the day if you’re walking around.
What a nice backpack. Love the colour. Well done in being sent items to review!
Thank you! All due to support from people like you!
