Topo 40L Travel Bag. It's perfectly rectangular and with those packing cubes that fit in there like a glove, I've got a very efficient setup. But I've managed to reduce the amount of things that I'm carrying by so much over the last 3 years, I might see if I can fit into that 30L for trips in the warmer months where I don't need to bring my coat. At this point the shoes are working against me the most. For Mexico, I bring Suavs (packable shoes), Teva sandals, water shoes, and thin rubber flip flops for showers. I don't think I can do without any of those.
Playing with 35 l and a 25 l bag. It helps if you try and imagine mock trips or events that you want to do at a imaginary destination. It adds of things that you might need.
10! Its a SADF pattern 70. I roll pants , tshirts and surf shorts on bottom, towel and toiletry on top, ipad pro , tech cube, nighstand cube, snacks and 2 shirts inside, right pocket for EDC, left for water bottle. Its a perfect weekender that can be stretched to a week worth of clothes mixing and matching
Great stuff! I wish I'd had this information before my world tour in 1995. My bag was almost as tall as I am. And my friend bought 8 ceramic bowls at our first stop in London. I thought she'd shipped them home, but no, she still had them at our last stop in Italy 2 weeks later! "Pack light" was never something I understood until I found this channel.
Perfect timing! I'm about to do my first one bag trip in over 18 months! My bag is 6x13×17 to stay within the personal item size. Packing for 5 days of late fall Canadian weather. It's going to be great!
I find these videos interesting every time you guys do them because some of the tips that you guys give are the exact opposite of what I choose. Not that there's a wrong way to one bag travel or anything but I generally prefer bags that don't look like squares because they typically scream I have everything I own in my bag and a more traditional looking backpack screams this is just my Daypack nothing to see here. It's not perfect but I like the aesthetic better and I feel like I stand out a lot less to pick pockets. I also prefer bags that are not clamshell-style because I found that most of them because the zipper goes across the bottom of your bag they tend to sag weirdly, even if you pack strategically. I had one once and while it was a great bag, I always had to pack it a little funky to get it to carry comfortably and the second I put a tablet in the front pocket, all my careful weight distribution didn't really matter.
I noticed that most of your TSA videos are geared toward young able bodied travelers. My husband and I are in our late 60's. He has to have wheelchair assist when traveling, plus he has to travel with his box of medications which have to be in his backpack to store under seat. It is a fumbling, living nightmare for me to traverse through TSA PRE-CHECK, or worse, regular TSA because pre-check isn't available sometimes. I have to put his stuff in bins as well as mine, then try to stuff it all back in afterwards because they rush us so fast. Any handy tips for us older travelers. I'd love to get some recommendations for complicated travelers in wheelchairs, or using crutches or physically challenged from disability or strokes.
Hi Donna! That does sound very frustrating. I've passed this along to the team to take into consideration for future content. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective! - Austin
I am using the Osprey Farpoint 40 but sometimes I feel like I am filling it up too much. It is comfortable and also the hip belt strap helps to not carry all the weight on the shoulders. I usually use it for trips from 2 days to 25 days. I like the quality it has, although perhaps there is a better backpack.
@@totsdavid7136 My problem is that I am a woman who is 162 cm tall and backpacks are usually designed for men. The only backpacks that have been good for me have been some of Osprey (Fairview, Farpoint, Daylite Plus, ...) I have not tried many either
Love the channel, im working on packing my whole life into 1 bag and getting back out in the world. Great stuff...Got the Nomad 20l because of your review and still looking around. Love it
A co-worker once described his philosophy for travel as "Lay out your clothes, and lay out your money. Take half the clothes, but twice as much money."
I have to admit that I'm watching this entirely out of morbid curiosity. I love traveling but you won't catch me one-bagging it anytime soon. I don't travel light but I travel happy. :)
Hi guys, I am planning to travel trough Europe for a month with a backpack. Any suggestions for a backpack to take with me also put on board of Ryanair ?
This is a super cool video. I was wondering what your guys' opinions are on Hazard 4's Bandolier? it's their closest bag to a tech sling and the hard/soft-shell design is super cool.
Do you have a recommendation for city hopping as a remote worker? One 14in laptop, a 15.6 portable monitor, cables & chargers, toothbrush, and t-shorts/shorts rolled up
Hi recently in europe easyjet changed their cabin luggage policy, so now it allows only under seat cabin luggage for free, of the size of 45x36x20cm but I cannot found any good quality backpack of this exact size. do you have any suggestion? Thanks

I just don’t want my family member to judge me on a basic overnight trip. I always take too much. I like being prepared for everything. In my defence Aussie weather is crazy.
Hey Pack Hacker! I absolutely Love all your videos especially the ones about packing. We all have different gear so it’s cool to see how we pack it. Lately I travel with a Tom Bihn Aeronaut 30 or the Tri-Star by Tom Bihn (both in burnt orange lol). Along with a personal item like the TB co pilot or a vintage chrome mini messenger bag 😉Both main bags are 30 / 33 liters so I have learned how to cut down and being only what I need. Do you primarily us 30 Liters? What’s your hi to bag? Now my friends bringing steamer trunks 😂 on vacation make up tons of excuses and it’s hysterical lol, But what is your feeling on rolling luggage? I still have a Genius pack 21”. Just curious as to when you would consider using it? Thanks!! 😉. Kevin

How many liters is your go-to travel bag? 🎒🤔
Mine is 40l 🙌🏾
Oyster Porter 46. 👌 Wonderfull.

What are you bringing with you?
Pack sunglasses to clean sock... when you are coming back that same sock can act like a hard case for same sunglasses.

I dont like clamshell either because if the zipper fails, all your stuff will fall out when you least expect it.
I'll be going on my first one bag solo travel next year thanks to your videos. Keep the great content coming! 😊
That's so exciting! Thanks for the support!
