  • Checked baggage prices are continuing to go up with some carriers recently raising it 15%, which means now is the perfect time to start traveling with only a personal item bag. In this video we'll take a look at a great backpack for three day weekend trips, the Slim Backpack from Day Owl. Check out this pack with me video for minimalist packing inspiration and tips on how to travel lighter with only one bag.

    I would add a collapsible silicone water bottle that I could fit a squeeze through travel water filter to process water into your bottle. It could fold down to fit in the same pocket. You never know when a questionable water situation will pop up! This video was so calming, I'm hooked!

    Like the flatness of this bag, many smaller bags stick out so far, I'd be a hazard... What is the volume of this bag? And if you don't put a water bottle in that compartment, do you get the space back on the inside main compartment?
    I always find the clothing interesting because people don't do the math; 3 tops, 2 bottoms gives you 6 outfits, regardless of gender, one thing more makes it good for well over a week (I add a dress), then do laundry. This way, you can travel indefinitely and not just for a long weekend, with the addition of a mid and top layer. I do it simply with a Fjallraven Kanken with plenty of room in 16litres for everything I need for longer trips.

      First off, thanks for watching and great comments here! The bag is 13L. And that is right, with no water bottle, that pocket can lay a little more flat. I’d also use that pocket for an umbrella if I knew there was going to be rain on a trip or a bathing suit if I was going somewhere warm where I was planning on swimming. I like the laundry detergent option too! I do that when I pack for a two week trip, brining enough clothes for just one.

    Thanks for a great and calming video. I’m starting to travel personal item only (Kankan 16 l) and as a woman it’s interesting to see how no-nonsense mens’ packing videos can be. For instance, only one pair of pants and shoes! That surprised me.

    • @outenthelights
      @outenthelights  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you for watching! Sometimes I will bring additional shoes and pants, just depends on weather, where I’m traveling to, how long the trip, etc. In some of my other videos I pack a little more in a slightly larger bag that still works as a personal item.

  • @LaineyBug2020
    @LaineyBug2020 Před 4 měsíci +3

    If you get a convertible travel vest that adds pockets and doubles as an extra bag when needed and a slim fit fanny pack worn as an actual fanny pack through the airport, they both count as apparel and not towards the personal item!

      From my experience.. I wouldn't waste your money on a collapsible silicone water bottle... the amount of times the water went everywhere because of the way the air inside the bottle works made me regret it so quickly

    I never take a bottle with me. I simply buy a bottle of water at the destination and then reuse it. I can use the remaining space for other things

    The caption brings up checked baggage prices as a reason to go to personal-item travel, but you've packed your toiletries way at the bottom of the bag... how are you dealing with the need to take the liquids out for screening at airport security, and then repacking them quickly to not slow down the screening line?

    • @outenthelights
      @outenthelights  Před 3 měsíci

      This awesome backpack unzips all the way down so really easy to access anything in the bag! This is why I pack the bag flat.

      If you like this style, I’d suggest checking out Bill Evans. One of the best jazz pianists of all time. Many albums to dive into. His trio stuff is fantastic.

      Not quite as light. She usually uses the small Away roller but sometimes goes backpack only with a Timbuk2 bag. I gotta convince her to make a guest appearance ha
