🎒 NOMATIC TRAVEL PACK
✍🏼 This travel backpack is carry-on compatible, but can also collapse and be used as an everyday carry backpack. Best for shorter trips like going to business meetings or conferences.

👉🏼 Check the best price: go.nomadsnation.com/nomatic-t...
🎒 ABLE CARRY MAX
✍🏼 Aaron's special pick. This backpack is just excellent overall, there is no specific category that it fits into. It's large enough for short trips, Carry on compatible for most airlines, but does not look too bulky or boxy to be used in an everyday situation.

👉🏼 Check out their website: go.nomadsnation.com/able-max
🎒 AER TRAVEL PACK 3
✍🏼 Best Overall carry-on / one-bag travel backpack. The internet's favorite carry-on backpack. This backpack has a pretty simple user interface while having enough organization for your smaller items.
👉🏼 Watch our review: bit.ly/3nlrsdH
👉🏼 Check out their website: go.nomadsnation.com/aer-trave...
🎒 Standard Luggage Carry On Backpack
✍🏼 Best budget-friendly carry-on backpack. It compromises a little bit on style and name brand materials but is still a kick-ass backpack in its own right.
👉🏼 Watch our review: bit.ly/3nfxXi6
👉🏼 Check out their website: go.nomadsnation.com/carry-on-...
🎒 ARCIDO AKRA
✍🏼 Best Minimalist carry-on backpack. Are you the type of person who hates rummaging through a bag with too many pockets? This pack is extremely simple. a few pockets, a laptop compartment and that's it.
👉🏼 Watch our review: bit.ly/3kwyxG7
🎒 PAKT ONE DUFFEL
✍🏼 Best Carry On Duffel. Most people don't even think about traveling with a duffel. But if you think about it, how often do you actually walk around with your travel backpack? Most people go from the airport to a taxi and two straps might be overkill.

🎒 TORTUGA TRAVEL BACKPACK
✍🏼 Do you intend to be on the road for the foreseeable future? You might want to consider getting the biggest carry-on backpack on our list. This thing is absurdly large and very well padded for all that weight you'll be carrying.
*Disclaimer: The Tortuga Setout Packable Daypack is discontinued. We recommend the Tortuga Travel Backpack instead!

I just realized that your label at the top with the name of the bag is how much longer you have reviewing that bag. So if I wanted to fastforward over one bag, it was SUPER easy to do so. NIce touch.
Thanks Andrew! Our editor Tav is obsessed with UX and he has little touches like this all over our videos - he's the man!
Thanks for pointing that out... nice feature. 👍
I have the Peak Design as my travel backpack. I like the simple sleek design without all the stuff on the outside. I snapped the top to it to make it look smaller and for a sleeker contour rather than boxy looking. The main reason I chose this backpack was for the security features it provides when you are traveling in crowded public spaces. Unfortunately this is something none of the CZcams backpack reviewers talked about...
It’s a hell of a pack and the security features are quite nifty
I miss you guys...got busy recently....but wow! This review is what I've been waiting for...amazing! As always! Thank you for this guys!
Great to hear from you Brenda! Hopefully things are well for ya and thanks for the kind words ❤️
Aaron, your so crazy, I love you. Thank you for your honest and detailed reviews of so many backpacks, save me so much time, your channel's totally underrated, should have at least 900k subscribers for how funny you are. Subscribed !

Awesome content bro. just the intro/your style is great.
Thank you so much!
I just found you , and I’m really glad , today was a really stressful day and this video make me forgery everything and just focus and your reviews, thank you so much, I’m definitely going to suscribe
Wow Denisse, so happy to hear that we could help! Hope you get some time to chill and de-stress 🧘♀️
great video. you deserve way more subs
I appreciate that dude thanks! We are growing fast :)
Just subscribed to the channel today. Really enjoying the content. Have you done a review of the Nayo EXPandable Smart Backpack?
Thanks for the kind comment! And unfortunately we have not reviewed that pack yet, but I've added it to our wish list just now :)
Thanks for the review of so many bags. This was helpful. I would like to hear you opinion of the Waterfield “Air Travel Backpack”. It’s emphasis is on luggage.
Glad to help! I’m hoping to do a Waterfield review soon - be sure to subscribe to the channel so you’ll know once the video goes live 💪🏾
I like how you reviewed a variety of travel backpacks. I bought a Tortuga Setout 35L women's backpack in January, 2020 for a 10-day trip to India and Nepal before the COVID-19 shutdown. Since I was carrying 25 lbs worth of clothes & toiletries, the load-lifter straps made it easy to walk around with this on my back. Other travel backpacks from LL Bean and ebags lacked them. Sadly, it looks like Tortuga no longer makes the Setout, so I hope that the Outbreaker will perform as well or better than the Setout.
Thanks for the comment Rosie, and I'm super jealous about your travel experiences in India/Nepal! Allso, imo, the Outbreaker is better than the Setout ;)
Some of the osprey have lift loaders
I found the Setout really uncomfortable. It just didn’t sit on my back right, and I wound up returning it. I have the Nomatic Travel Pack now, and it’s pretty good but I’m not crazy about the material and feel like some valuable space is lost with the curved top. I’m thinking about trying the Taskin One soon.
@@trusmom7828 Yeah, I hear you about uncomfortable fits. Let us know how the Taskin One works out for you.
Really great review Aaron!! Ever heard of the Solgaard Endeavor? Seems a similar type of bag and was curious of your thoughts
Appreciate that Andrew! I have heard of Solgaard but haven't reviewed anything by them yet, hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on the Endeavor sometime this year
I picked the Tortuga Set Out Divide as it goes from 26 to 34 litres. The expansion area is in the top, so not extra depth in the main compartment. Fitting in most camera cube isn't possible. When I also got a nice out fit to go to a wedding I needed 40 litres, although possibly the Setout 35 litres might have worked. I used a 40 litre packable duffel. I also had a small 17 litre to trek around with and on flights packed all my tech gear (cameras, lenses, tablet, mouse, battery razor, electric toothbrush) into that and the rest went cargo. Internal flights had a 7kg limit and the total was over 13kg even leaving the daily carry backpack would still have been over 12kg. Two bag travel splits up the weight and in cargo I can also store a multitool. Although I was in the tropics (India) going further north the late evenings had some bitter cold winds. A duffle and daily carry back pack works. The Setout converts to a carry bag, over the shoulder bag or backpack. So do a number of other bags including some from Tom Bihn and Nomatic.
I had to arrange a USA postal address to get the Tortuga forwarded to the UK. Nomatic is currently not exporting to the UK. New UK and EU import regulations and delays in getting companies in other countries registration for VAT has been the cause and postal costs and red tape increased in the past 15 years.
Thanks for the comment Gerald! While I personally haven't tried the Tortuga Set Out Divide, I have to admit I am blown away by all of their products I HAVE reviewed. Hell of a backpack company :)
Woah I thought u had more subs! Very high quality thanks for the review man!!
Thanks so much Elijah! We are a new channel but we are growing fast :)
Good review. Can you review the Tom Bihn Cadet messenger bag? It looks like it may be a good alternative to the Aer Commuter Brief 2 and they're in the same price range
Thanks Emiro! Great request, I’ll be sure to add it to our wish list 💪🏽
Off topic but I suddenly felt super grateful hearing “everyday carry” instead of “concealed carry”
❤️
Would be cool to see a video with bags that can count as personal items. Osprey just released a 26+6 L expandable backpack that looks like a good size.
Second this. Looking for that now
If I could watch that video I'd stop watching.
Those backpacks would be fine as a personal item. The guy doesn't know what he is talking about by saying carry on all the time🤦♀️
I was actually looking for the Swiss Gear backpack A friend gave it to me and I was looking for a cool ideas of ways to utilize all of the gear the hooks and crannies
I haven’t reviewed one - hoping to soon!
For peace of mind, I'd still go with Pacsafe Vibe 40L, but the list is great overall :)
Thanks dude! And I’ve heard great things about Pacsafe - hoping to check out one of their bags soon
Koala Gear - Jay backpack would be a cool review :)
Awesome recommendation! Never heard of them but I’ve added them to our wish list 💪🏽
@@Nomads.Nation got km
Just found your channel as I’m trying to purchase a backpack for travel and school. I watched so much of your videos, but still couldn’t decide on the one. I want a lightweight for everyday use backpack that had a clamshell opening with an water bottle holder and laptop department. Do you have any recommendations?
Maybe check out our reviews on the WANDRD Duo, Modern Dayfarer Backpack, and Bellroy Venture.... None are a perfect fit, but probably as close as you'll get
What is your recommendation for best carry on backpack that has the straps to slide over carry on suitcase?
Aer Travel Pack 2 :)
Can you recommend good backpacks for size of personal item, especially for Rynair restrictions?
You could do video with top list such like this one here :)
Great recommendation Marcin! I've added it to our to-do list :)
I've got 2.5 weeks in Asia coming up, gunna be hitting up a lot of trains, busses, trails, mountains, restaurants, cabins and more... I've chosen the Mission Workshop Sanction (20L) as my weapon of choice... It's probably actually the wrong choice for most people due to its size, I'm kinda doing it as a challenge to see what I can really get away with cutting out of my loadout, and if it really does prove impractical, I have an Aer TP2 to fall back on... Either way, that's just one more thing making me look forward to this trip.
2.5 weeks in SE Asia with a 20L? Not easy, but totally doable. Love the challenge! Keep us posted how it goes plllzzzz!
Aw hell nah.Typical "lets do all of Asia in 2.5 weeks" tourist that walks around in hiking gear everywhere.
I have never understood why backpack producers add the shoe compartment. If you put your shoes in, it takes almost half of the space of your whole backpack. Instead of just putting your shoes in a shoe bag and placing them wherever they fit most in your backpack, they invented this pain in the ass compartment which takes up space even when unused.
Hey dude thanks for the comment! I agree that shoe compartments can be controversial, and I don't personally prefer them on my travel packs. BUT I do love them on an EDC gym pack.
Expensive!
Yes they are the ‘best’ bags so they use really expensive (and durable) materials and design
would you recommend the nomatic navigator 32L?
If you don't mind the high price, it's a great bag. Having said that, there are probably better bags for the cost.
The best one is genuine one
True dat
What do you think about the Everki bussines 120 aka titan?
Haven’t heard of them but I’ll check em out for sure!
Will the AER fit under a seat? Obviously not overpacked.
depends on the airline and their policies, but I'd say 50/50
hi aaron, i need a larger carry on backpack for my gal. she says my 40L tomtoc is to small. what do you recommend for her at 50l ish that is more for clothing than office gear. thanks
I've actually never reviewed a 50+L bag, so I can't say. I will say that Tomtoc bags are notoriously smaller than advertised, and the lack of clamshell opening makes it even smaller. I imagine if you compared a 40L Tortuga Travel Backpack to a Tomtom 40L, it would feel like the Tortuga gave you 50% more packing space
Tropicfeel Shell is also great
I’ve heard it’s amazing! Can’t wait to test it out myself
@@Nomads.Nation I bought a green one and am waiting for it to arrive. Price is similar to the backpacks in your video, however it comes with the wardrobe system and a toiletry pack
@@arthurfernandes4160 yea it’s really innovative. Probably why they raised so much money on kickstarter lol
Briggs and Riley has two convertible backpacks. Can you review them please. The price point is pricey but the no questions lifetime warranty is a deal clincher.
I'll add them to our (very long) to do list :)
Ya, I will buy a 250 buck backpack and save a few on Ryan air's check in. Makes sense.
Jokes apart, great review though!
You can buy other backpacks that are this same size but cost significantly less, these are just my personal faves :)
Agreed this is idiotic
@@MrGroganmeister Not really idiotic, just different people like to travel in different ways. I personally love the freedom of having my bag with me, not worrying about it getting lost by the airline, and being able to walk directly from the plane out of the airport without having to wait. Thanks for your comment though!
👍🏾💯
👍🏽❤️
SWOOP Airlines under-seat dimensions are 16" x 6" x 13". I am searching for the ideal personal item that meets those dimensions. Suggestions?
Sorry Krys, none from me. Please let us know what you find!
are all of them great with local flights in europe? thank u in advance
Depends on the airline 😬
Nice. Do any of them have a shoulder strap?
Tortuga Setout certain had but there is no mention of the feature now and is not available as a separate accessory. The Setout is shoulder bag ready with strong looks to support a shoulder strap.
@@geraldmcmullon2465 Thanks. I have found when I add a shoulder strap the balance of the bag is off.
@@wizerdjuice9589 I find that as well when the fixing points are both at the back. If fairly central the balance might be better. On the Setout Divide the fixing points are in the centre, but not if you expand it and pack out fully. The Setout 35 and 45 litre should not have that problem.
I hit the like button just for the " Stacy's mom mention". :P
HA! Thanks so much Jose! More obscure song references coming soon 🤘
AER where is the $1200 version?
Narrowed search down to 3 backpacks. Looking for one bag travel that can manage one week of clothing, tech (laptop, iPad, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, roost stand, and assorted chargers and dongles), and toiletries. Trying to decide between Able Carry Max, Aer Travel Pack 2, or Pakt Backpack. Any suggestions are welcomed. I typically use packing cubes and pouches.
I’d go with able carry. Haven’t reviewed pakt backpack yet - review going live in the next month or so
@@Nomads.Nation thank you. I was leaning that direction. Looks like a solid bag.
On the nomadic travel pack you said it scratches very easy but you don't mean tear or ruin the integrity in any way, right? Just affect the looks...?
Exactly. The scratches only mess with the aesthetics.
Great reviews. But what @ the osprey backpack? It’s very popular, did u do a review of that?
Thanks Gina! We've done a review of the Osprey Farpoint 40, but that's the only Osprey product so far :)
Great, I’ll have to look for that one. Thx.
Most airlines only allows 7kg for carry-on baggage, so ideally a "one bag carry-on" backpack should weigh less than 1.4kg, or 20% of the weight limit.
totally agree, I am planning to update this guide soon to cover this
I'm glad someone brought this up I've noticed the same issue searching for a carry on between 25-30L that is as light as possible to maximise what can be put into it and remain under the 7kg limit. The Aer travel pack 3 @1.87kg, The Able Carry Max @1.7kg, the Nomatic Travel pack @1.88kg are all far too heavy
An extra 0.5 kg of clothes or equipment by going for a lighter bag is definitely worth it for me.
Some options I've been looking at are the Thule Aion 28L @1.23kg, the Alpaka Elements Pro 26L @1.2-1.3kg, the Bellroy Transit Backpack 28L @1.1Kg or the Able Carry Daybreaker 2 which is ultra light for 25L @660-718grams.. I hope these are covered in any upcoming video with more emphasis on lighter, simpler and less feature packed bags which just seems to add unnecessary bulk and weight when the real goal is carrying as much as possible in one bag
@@ashleyjones6235 also check out the ULA Dragonfly
@@ashleyjones6235 also Patagonia Black Hole Pack
Dude, Where’s my series 2 Knackpack? 🤔
I did give a thumbs up even though you left my very capable edc/minimal travel bag off the list lol 👍🏾
CHARLES! I agree! After this video went live I asked myself... wtf, why isnt the KP2 on here? If we ever do another version of this we'll be sure to add it - I heart that pack.
Are those available in amazon?
Some should be yes
I was really interested in the Tortuga but unfortunately it's not there
I know, Tortuga has been making a lot of changes to their lineups recently which is really screwing with my content lol
Do any of the backpacks fit under front seat?
Depends on the airline - they all have different policies/seat sizes. But I think if your bag is 25L or less you should be fine (not including budget airlines like Spirit and RyanAir)
Those prices are insane
Top notch design and materials don’t come cheap!
Is nomatic better than knackpack?
Great question, I totally should have put knack pack on this list. I’d say it depends on your needs. I’ve reviewed both packs in depth - check those videos out to see which is best for you :)
If you could get the Nomatic Navigator 32L and the Peak Design 45L for the same price, which would you go with
Peak Design all day. Much better materials/bang for your buck.
@@Nomads.Nation awesome thank you, I've been going back and forth on those two for a while now, couldn't find any direct comparison between the two, and wasn't sure if price was the biggest downfall of the Nomatic
@@BACKSEATDRIVER5280 glad to help, and yes, Nomatic bags are great, but def a bi overpriced given their materials and build IMO
@@Nomads.Nation peak design backpack looks less comfortable for the back to compare with nomatic, isn't?
@@vladzet_jedi3942 that’s a personal preference but I’d say they are about the same
How much!!!!😮😮😮
Just a a military surplus rucksack its SUPER STRONG military grade for $40 -$20
For sure! These are more premium bags - but they have next level features, hardware, materials, and look incredible (but are def expensive!)
Looking for a carry on suitable for a woman travelling south east Asia. I’ll be working while I’m there though, so I need something that prioritises room for tech. I’m also not the lightest packer so looking for closer to 40L, especially as I’ll be gone for a few months. Tossing up btwn Osprey Fairview 40L, Aer travel pack 3 and Peak Design travel pack. What would you rec for someone who is part adventuring, part digital nomadding? Tysm!
Tortuga Travel Pack would be my #1 recommendation. You can change the fit so it better fits your body type, and for 40L it's the most comfortable bag I've ever tested. Check out our full review! Aside from that, skip on Osprey. Aer Travel Pack 3 won't be big enough for you. Peak Design is amazing - tons of bells and whistles - but not as comfy imo
@@Nomads.Nation the sad moment when Tortuga don’t ship to Australia 🥲 thanks for those recs though - appreciate it! I’ll look into more bags similar to the Tortuga and if all else fails, Peak Designs it.
@@alexandrak7411 aw yea, they are a bit limited with their shipping - best of luck!
@@alexandrak7411 aw yea their shipping sucks lol - best of luck!
Hey Aaron! and everyone, I'm looking for a new travel backpack and would love your recommendations for my needs. I definitely want one bag that can expand from approximately 20-30L and go from day to travel. I'm really small at 5'1 so comfort is important to me. I don't carry around a laptop so I find big laptop sleeves a waste of space and want a suitcase large opening design with some extra organisational pockets. I was looking at Pakt and Aer, however, I'm in Australia so they run between $500-$650 here which is out of my budget and now I overwhelmed by how many options there are online. Please help!
I’ll help as much as I can but I don’t think there are any bags that I know of that meet your criteria. If you can let go of expansion then you might be able to find a pack from Alpaka or Bellroy (shipping will be cheaper as there are AU brands)
@@Nomads.Nation thank you, I will look further into those brands. I also found the peak design travel pack and it seems to fit my needs well.
Hi, I have an Osprey 53L. I’m going to Vietnam this coming January. For my first time. Is this bag too big for a carryon? . I’m traveling for 2 weeks. I want to use 1 bag. I’m going solo.
Hey Keith, congrats on the travel plans! This bag should be fine to carry on, but it also depends on the airlines policies as it varies from airline to airline. Reach out to them to double check 💪🏾
Yes 53 liters WILL BE TOO BIG for a carry on. In the US you might get away with it but at 53l you'll be over weight limit. Especially in Vietnam or anywhere in SE Asia.
I’d love to see a review of the Taskin One.
thanks for the suggestion! I've added to our wish list :)
I like your presentations a lot. However, most of backpacks are too big. Can you please recommend a SMALL Travel backpack that carry 15" laptop and its compact?
You might want to check out our ‘best EDC’ roundup instead
Is it safe to assume that I can carry this backpack and a carryon?
It is not bc it will depend on the airline - each one has its own policies
Are there some under $100 but still good?
Arcido Akra is pretty close to 100 - check that one out
@@Nomads.Nation will do thanks!
It is not carry on, but personal item. Personal item is free and needs to fit under seat. Carry on has larger size and sometimes you need to pay to travel with it.
Thanks for the comment! It totally depends on the airline tho. These bags would never be allowed as a personal item on budget airlines like Spirit and RyanAir. These bags are way too big for that. Larger airlines you have a chance, but even then some of the larger packs on this list… I don’t think so
Man, I just can't believe the prices on these bags.
Not cheap but you get what you pay for! There are certainly plenty of lower cost options out there, but as the title suggests, these are the best
I bought the #11 best selling travel pack on Amazon and paid 40 $CAD… works just fine. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid!
Osprey Porter 46 and it’s over
Great bag! But too big for carry on for many airlines
Where is Evergoods CPL 24?
It’s a fantastic bag but didn’t make the cut for me 😬
@@Nomads.NationI just bought it, it's the best backpack I've ever had. it cannot be compared to any other. Workmanship and materials are perfect.
@@0malchos0 so glad you like it dude! It's def a great bag, but for some reason it didn't really 'wow' me the way it has everyone else (but maybe my expectations were just too high!)
Why nobody is talking about weight? Most airlines set a 10kg weight limit. The Nomatic looks good but it weights 2kg... Most of the backpacks here are super heavy.
Good point but all airline requirements vary - many don’t even have weight requirements!
I cannot believe the way RyanAir expects people to travel. I paid €80 for flights to Sweden and I can’t even have a carry on... Only allowed a bag that fits under the seat. At €80 that is not cheap.
Yea you get what you pay for with RyanAir - and even then that’s a pretty pricey ticket!
Korin backpacks are not good?? I think you never mentioned it while other reviewers point out one of the best.
haven't tested on myself yet - hope to soon!
Love all of them but looking for something smaller for a woman
Preferably not in black
Tortuga do a version for a short frame. Limited choice of colours but grey or black. Tom Bihn - not everyone's look but so much functionality. For an everyday carry look at the Hackpack. Designed by a woman. It is small but expandable with back straps, shoulder strap and a pair of handles to carry brief case tote style. It is black and white that looks grey or blue or black or white in photos. I have not seen anything like it elsewhere.
Not black, not grey I think of the choice of materials from Tom Bihn, Bellroy, Topo, Qwstion and InCase.
Agree. Wish they would keep them around 3 lbs, they’re all so heavy
PHEV’s are a waste of time. I have one now and the extra expense and the low EV range does not justify the additional cost

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is NOT THEIR luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. czcams.com/video/q-gLsegazCs/video.html
Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile...
czcams.com/video/4NfX2W4DN7E/video.html
These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon.
Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees.
Tie to the base of the handle, tie to the metal buckle. Thus, it will not slip along the handle.
Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers.
Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end.
If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape.
You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away.
Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case.
Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle.
Learn Half Windsor knot tying:
It is the 2nd example in this video
czcams.com/video/X0yh5rKB9lE/video.html
This knot does not loosen.
Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie.
Example: “Owner 454-333-7878”
No personal name necessary.
No address necessary on the ribbon.
Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color.
Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece.
Tie your backpack, skiies, duffel bag, carry-on, and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case bag.
If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself.
Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible.
Pleasant color combinations:
Red, white and blue
Chartreuse and purple and orange
Orange and light blue
Orange and yellow
Gray and pink
Green and yellow
Red and Green
Red and Gold
Light blue and light green and white
The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan
Tip #2 PICTURE RECORD
Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. Take a picture of the interior. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it.
You can show this picture to the searcher or attach a picture to your report for lost luggage.
Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights.
Tip #3 INSIDE IDENTITY
Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape...
To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape.
Tip #4 HIDDEN IDENTITY

I love your backpacks, and we also have some awesome backpacks
Hell yea
30 liters for a weekend?? Thats for a week dude.
Depends on the person. My wife would be horrified by the thought of traveling for a week with a 30L lol
Heck I can do months at 30 to 35 liters....with room to spare.
@@susanlea7759 hells yes, minimalist travel is a liberating experience
@@Nomads.NationI have something called the Scrubba Bag. An Aussie creation- just a dry bag with roll top and buckles. They added a clear window, scrubbing nubs on 1 side, and a valve to squeeze air out. Put in dirty clothes, fill to line with water, add a drop of whatever detergent you use, roll up, buckle, expel excess air and have fun. I use my feet to agitate, hands work fine. Wash for a bit, pour out water and do rinse cycle if so desired. Wring out clothes, hang to dry- voila clean clothes. As a backpacker we have a saying- wear 1, air 1. If you wore it yesterday its hanging on the pack today airing out.
@@susanlea7759 this sounds like a product I need! Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check it out
Let’s talk about how hot the host is!☺️
This is a discussion I support! Lol
@@Nomads.Nation 😛
$200 + usd for a single backpack.... damn I should have gotten a better job. Going to need to save for awhile.
Yea ain’t cheap, these are like the Bentleys of bags though, you don’t need one, they are a luxury. Get a Toyota lol they still work great
@@Nomads.Nation Can you please recommend a nice *toyota" tier bag. Possible new video idea. Top 5 budget friendly or bang for your buck bags.
