Lol, my grandmother always said "if in doubt throw it out", so not so new... she also said "its better to have and not need it, than to need it and not have it" lol. I've lived my life by both so I'm a minimalist hoarder...😂
We've also been travelling with carry on only for the last 3 years (the last of those years was continuous travel through Canada in winter as well as Central America). We love the freedom that it gives you to move around easily. Second hand shops are a godsend when you need to change season. We've found in Central America you can't always buy everything that you'd want electronics wise, but overall we've been happy with going carry on only.
It's our goal to get down to the >40 liter club! We'll get there eventually. 😊 We did both switch to slightly smaller Osprey's recently though and absolutely love them!
The best thing I found was a product called washawaze They are super compact all in one soap/face/shampoo/conditioner/shaving cream. Can be used for it all. They are sheets that can be divided into small squares for say washing your hands and then add on for bigger jobs. Like say a whole sheet for hair and body (a whole sheet is about the size of a playing card. They are awesome. Super light weight and no spilling since the active with water and rubbing in your hands. Smells great too, like coconut 🥥 (but smell doesn’t linger after for long in case someone doesn’t want the smell after the fact)
Great tips and really informative. I'm visiting Iceland in a few weeks and didn't think I could get away with just a carry on. So I booked for a checked bag. Gonna test myself though and see exactly what I don't use that I take with me.
I love your relationship omg Yall balance each other out you guys have good chemistry..... I love how you guys are young free no kids and just traveling the world that is absolutely beautiful so is motherhood don't get me wrong but then I watch your videos I say to myself man if I didn't have kids I would be traveling the world too don't get me wrong I love being a mom but it's constantly schedules doctor's appointments and it's just harder to travel with children so congratulations on focusing on the now with each other that's beautiful
Another thing to try if you are considering living in one bag is to actually do it at home for a few months. While you are doing that you can also purge items you are not using and don't need.
I have the E-bag and I do like it as long as it's not packed too full - - because then, it's pure torture to walk around with it on! I guess, as you said, it has something to do with the weight distribution. I'm looking forward to seeing what bag you end up with.
I buy little things as souvenirs. In Costa Rica, Purchased a tiny hand blown glass frog the size of a golf ball. It was perfect and I look at it all the time. In Paris I purchased a 3 inch tin Eiffel Tower for 4 Euro. I buy magnets, which are small. In Normandy, I brought a small medicine sized glass bottle to bring home some sand. The small things are fantastic!
u guys should check out instinct backpack. it has packing cubes that helps u organise all of your stuff and because the cubes are removable it could potentially double as your day pack as well. i've not tried it but i'm planning on getting 1 and from wat i've seen it looks pretty good.
I've been through a bunch and finally settled on the Osprey Porter 46 which I've used for the last several trips and I do like it... I couple it with my REI Flash 22 daypack which I can just remove the support in it and fold it and put it inside my main bag if necessary. For waterproofing, I currently just have a rain cover which works I guess. I'm considering getting a Aquaquest waterproof after I saw a hiker using it on my Kilimanjaro expedition earlier this year, I really loved that pack... super light and totally waterproof.
Great tips, thanks! What about the stuff that you don't bring with you? Do you have a storage facility for your other possessions or are the bulk of your items on the road with you?
We actually ended up selling pretty much everything we owned! A few small things are still at our parents house and of course we ship things back from time to time.
The Endless Adventure Awesome! I find it difficult to even envision going on holiday with just one bag but I'm sure if I put my mind to it I probably could hehe.
Do they manage to meet 7kg restriction for carry-on luggage which is pretty much standard for economy class? I only ask because I have begun packing for a long trip and was influenced by videos like this to try and pack everything I needed in a carryon bag. Most of these travel tubers give tips on how to fit everything you need into a small carryon pack however I found this not to be an issue. The issue is meeting the 7kg weight restriction which is proving to be pretty much impossible for a long trip. Looks like my bag will have to get checked in after all
Nice video guys, you wanted tips on to as what bags other people use? I use the Osprey porter 46 as my carry on and love it. In conjunction with this I also use the Osprey ozone courier as my personal bag. This setup works really well as a carry on only travel setup
I have 2 bags both Lowepro Highline series the Highline 300aw and Highline 400 aw depending How long My trip is , they are both amazing bags there is a wheeled version of the Highline 400aw for those people who dont like to carry backpacks which is also more suited to elderly travellers Just visiting different cities like Malaysia on short trips all these bags have built in weather covers although they are made from water resistsnt material all have built in laptop holders the 300 is for 13inch the 400 is for 15 inch , check them out they are all good bags ive had mine for 3 years now with no problems
Awesome, we also tend to travel only with carry -ons because we hate waiting in line and also its less expensive. apart from all the equipment we are always carrying, we focus more on that rather than our clothes lol
Hey, endless adventurers!! I saw this video some months ago and decided to buy the eBags Weekender Junior. But, now, I see that for your 2017 travels (England, for example) you used an Osprey backpack!! :-/ What happened with the eBags? Did you ended disliking them?
What are you guys's thought about the Osprey Farpoint 40? There are heaps of reviews on it, and most of them positive, so me and my girlfriend bought one for our on 'Endless Adventure'. Going to be reviewing it soon and posting it up if you're interested ;) Great vid!
We're considering it, but our friend has one and we tried it one and it ended up feeling a bit like our current bags. No vertical weight distribution, which I feel like is taking a toll on our backs :/ Shoot us a message when you have the review!
i was going to get one of those ospreys but i settled with the ozark trail monipellar 45l. its about 50 bucks at walmart and its got an awesome ammount of storage. I have a review of on my channel.
I have that same ebag. Bought it on clearance. Its quite heavy when packed full and the first time I swung it around , I injured my shoulder. I use it for trips I'm not flying.
Hey guys.. have you decided on a new bag? Have you considered the Tortuga Outbreaker? It comes in 35L and 45L. I am strongly considering that, or possibly the Kelty Redwing 50L, for upcoming long term travels of my own through South America. The Kelty also has a smaller variant. The Kelty looks like it would be more comfortable to carry, but the Tortuga more user friendly in it's design. Would love to know what you guys choose to go with :)
I used to have a duffel bag when I travel but now I always just go with a sturdy roller carry-on. After being in huge airports with a long hike to customs and down city streets - carry on luggage with good wheels is the way to go in my opinion. I used to arrive at my accommodation with really sore shoulders but no longer. True - not so good if you have be on the back of a scooter taxi. I do carry a small backpack inside of my carry-on. Even with just a carry on I wonder why I packed so much.
Cool video, thanks for the tips. I've been working on getting minimalist. I now got all my essential stuff into two bags. As for the bag recommendation, the lowepro flipside sport 20L is awesome if that's not too small. The camera padding all comes out and then it's very lightweight, I think about 700g, it opens like a suitcase, and opens from your back's side, so pickpockets can't reach into the main compartment while you're wearing it. There's a video on my channel about it in the favourites playlist. For me it's sometimes too large, so I also bought the 10L version, and sometimes it's too small so I attach a Crumpler Light Delight pouch on top of it which adds maybe 7L extra.
Thanks for the tips. Glad you found it helpful! Yeah, one bag has been tough. Are you hoping to ultimately get down to one or has two been working well for you?
Yes definitely want to get down to one backpack, plus my skateboard. I can currently fit all my travel essentials into the 10L backpack, and if I only take one change of clothes then I can even fit my 13" macbook in there. lol But I would need to leave a suitcase in a family member's home with a few things like documents, other clothes, a few tools, etc.
Video Suggestion: It would be interesting If you guys would review your ebag backpacks. From individual POV. We can pull up the specifics but after a year of using it I think a pro & con from each of you would be helpful.
I know, I'm late again... But what I have a problem with with carry ons is the liquid rule. Do you throw away all your liquids every time you fly? I imagine that can get expensive and certainly is not good for the planet (yep, here I go again...). I remember I had a conversation with a TSA person at DIA once, because I had an "empty" bottle of something that he questioned because it was "empty". In fact, it was almost empty but had just enough liquid in it for me to use for the weekend and not enough to where I could not take it in my carry on. :-) And right now, my carry on only contains my laptop and camera equipment and is FULL and heavy as heck. I am leaving for Berlin again in November.
What about the Tom Bihn bags the aeronaut 3 or 45 I don't have one but I have been looking at them they look really good. Bit expensive though though worth it.
Just traveled to Colorado for 7 days with only a personal bag (Backpack). It was tough but, thankfully I made it work. Searching for the best bag has been a struggle. Especially when trying to find one that looks as good as it functions. Thanks for yalls videos. Went on a binge watching every single episode as soon as I found y'all on here. Let your Explorers know which bags y'all decide to go with. I know I'm keeping an eye out for the decision. 👌🏽video btw. ✈️🌎😎🍻
Nice! Well hopefully you're getting the hang of what's a necessity vs what you can live without :D We'll definitely be making a video once we settle on new bags 👍
Hello! I am preparing for my first trip to Australia in June and I’m unsure whether to bring my Osprey farpoint 40 with a high school sized back pack or only the farpoint. I want to bring the high school backpack as my day bag but I’m unsure if it’s necessary and worried that the airline will not accept two carry ons. Do you think this is a issue or not? By the way great video just discovered you guys
Billy Bob Bring both but you may have to check the 40 depending on the airline. Qantas has a 15 pound limit for carry-ons. Most international carriers have stricter limits for carry-on. June is winter in Australia so be prepared for that but I don’t think it will be too cold.
Katrina Francis thank you I will bring both of them because I feel a day pack is very necessary. Hopefully Qantas will let me check it in as a personal item. Yes haha I’m prepared, I live in Miami so it’s a great way to escape its crazy summer heat
Billy Bob You will definitely be able to check it because Qantas allows you two checked bags for international flights. They may not be as strict in Miami as they are out of LAX. Good luck and have a great trip.
I use this bag , very similar to the Osprey 40 but for a cheaper price range . Opens almost like a suitcase but carries the weight well. www.mec.ca/en/product/5039-731/Flair-45-Backpack
There's this backpack from a brand called Quechua. For me it's kinda the perfect backpack. It is front load, and has tons of compartments and ergonomic. Plus it has a detachable sling bag too.

Nice, I've used the same bag for one bag travel for the past 7 years. Just recently moved down to a smaller 28 liter bag
Osprey Farpoint 40, best bag I've ever had and it has the almighty Osprey Lifetime Guarantee. Absolute BEST!
great tips friends its really trial and error and find out what and how much of the things you need
Thanks mate! Yep, we're slowly figuring this thing out :D
We've also been travelling with carry on only for the last 3 years (the last of those years was continuous travel through Canada in winter as well as Central America). We love the freedom that it gives you to move around easily. Second hand shops are a godsend when you need to change season.
We've found in Central America you can't always buy everything that you'd want electronics wise, but overall we've been happy with going carry on only.
My husband and I use the Osprey Manta 36 and the Mira 32. We love them and they are airline carry on size.
It's our goal to get down to the >40 liter club! We'll get there eventually. 😊 We did both switch to slightly smaller Osprey's recently though and absolutely love them!
I like the Tortuga Outbreaker, it's well organised, spacious and comfortable with hip straps.
The best thing I found was a product called washawaze They are super compact all in one soap/face/shampoo/conditioner/shaving cream. Can be used for it all. They are sheets that can be divided into small squares for say washing your hands and then add on for bigger jobs.

I love my Cotopaxi Allpa 42L for one-bag travel.
"If in doubt, throw it out." Love it! Haha. Great video. :)
😂 so glad you liked it!
Great tips and really informative. I'm visiting Iceland in a few weeks and didn't think I could get away with just a carry on. So I booked for a checked bag. Gonna test myself though and see exactly what I don't use that I take with me.
Good call. We think doing little tests like that is the best way to ease into it!
I love your relationship omg Yall balance each other out you guys have good chemistry..... I love how you guys are young free no kids and just traveling the world that is absolutely beautiful so is motherhood don't get me wrong but then I watch your videos I say to myself man if I didn't have kids I would be traveling the world too don't get me wrong I love being a mom but it's constantly schedules doctor's appointments and it's just harder to travel with children so congratulations on focusing on the now with each other that's beautiful

The small things are fantastic!
lately i have been packing very light, it is very doable, great video!
True story. It also gets easier the more you do it 👍
did you ever have a problem carrying those bags inside a plane's cabin? Tks
"Freakin hot" LOL. Spoken like a true San Franciscan!
u guys should check out instinct backpack. it has packing cubes that helps u organise all of your stuff and because the cubes are removable it could potentially double as your day pack as well. i've not tried it but i'm planning on getting 1 and from wat i've seen it looks pretty good.
Thank you for being so helpful, would love to one day live the adventure. :)
Oh heck ya! And hey, afternoon/weekend/vacation adventures are still adventures 😊👍

You could always use packing cubes in topload bags! Travleling with Osprey Nebula 34 works great with packing cubes

that is very useful for who travel as stand-by!

Love your travels.
go to puerto viejo. it is 30 minutes away from cahuita on bus. if you can go to punto uva that is 40 minutes from cahuita in the same direction.
Thanks for the recommendation! We've actually took the bus down there a couple times already. Super beautiful :D We'll have a vlog from there soon!
You guys should check out the minaal 2.0 carry-on bag.
Awesome, we also tend to travel only with carry -ons because we hate waiting in line and also its less expensive. apart from all the equipment we are always carrying, we focus more on that rather than our clothes lol
Yeah, nothing like having a just single bag on your back!
its true, our hands are always busy carrying the cameras, the backpack, carry-on, etc. but I guess that life as a adventurer/youtuber
Great tips guys
Thanks Amen 👍
Thanks for the tips!
Heck yeah 👍

The Endless Adventure Try the Osprey Meridian 22" has a detachable day bag, rolling wheels and stoy away shoulder straps and hip belt
i was going to get one of those ospreys but i settled with the ozark trail monipellar 45l. its about 50 bucks at walmart and its got an awesome ammount of storage. I have a review of on my channel.
try the kelty series of bags, the 44L or 50L would probly be perfect for you two. opens like luggage and has a useful stuffsack for a jacket
Stonewall Jackson you cannot take a 50 litre bag as carry on

Thanks!
