Flip flops, micro fiber towel, rain poncho to go over yourself and your backpack, lock if you stay at hostels, water bottle with built in filter are all must haves.
I have a technik: When I got home, I take a foto from all the Items that I used. It works like a visual packing list for the next trip. And now I pack less and less. My next challenge is to try carry-on only for travel long hall, for extreme winter-Summer Situation.
As a flight attendant layers will be your best friend and as a plus size person things take up more space. I just back a few basics, no crazy colors, maybe one something crazy color. The clothes spray for wrinkle release, and deodorizer works wonders and helps stretch things. Minimum shoes/ things that have multi use
Carry on only is quite easy. Take a 38 L backpack as your large bag that goes in the overhead compartment, then a 20L ryanair size bag that goes under the seat. Works like a charm.
Fantastic solution to smells and repeated wearing is Unbound Merino. Merino wool is unbelievably comfortable and packs super small. Also resists wrinkles. * I’m not an employee, but I am a client.
I would imagine that some women have toiletries that aren’t found in a regular store (like myself). But it’s still possible to bring everything by using small containers for the custom creams, shampoo, etc. I travel with a tsa approved zip lock for liquids and a dop kit bag and everything fits. Also, for shoes it’s sneakers (worn on the plane) and sandals (packed in carryon) which covers all scenarios - it’s easier in colder destinations as that’s usually just one pair of boots on my feet.
I have an hp laptop and straighteners and xtra camera so it would never be just cabin bag carry on yes if I dont bring clothes hardly at all. I ended up last time having to buy extra things then leaving a bag full of things I couldnt bring home on flight.
When you started talking about shoes all I thought was "you kidding? That's hard? One pair of Vans Old Skool black and I'm good to all ocasions". So I got happy when your no. 2 were black vans too. 😁
If you work for an airline and get standby flying privileges, you will learn to fly with one bag which you carry-on. We would literally walk down an airport lobby, look at the gate, determine how many seats were available on the flight, and determine our chances of getting on a particular flight. Usually our choices were London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Rome or Venice. Spent a week living out of a backpack while going through Amsterdam, Belgium, Paris, and London. Also, a single backpack easily allows you to use the public transit.
I've travelled with a 30-40l backpack for about 25 years and your packing list looks good to me 👍. I don't have that much tech with me so I have more room for other things. I think that 8-10 kg carry on limit is easy to archieve but 5 kg is a bit more tricky, although I have done that too. I pack with one thing in mind, what I need for a week is what I can live with basically forever. I try to pack light weight and fast drying materials like viscose and tencel but merino and other wool is always an option too especially in winter. I'm just about to travel from Northern Finland to Turkey for two weeks and here's my packing list: - 4 dresses (1 for travelling, 1 for beach and 2 for day trips and dinners) - 5 pairs of cotton leggings, different lenghts - 6 pairs of undies and 3 bras - 4 pairs of socks (3 of light weight merino and 1 heavier wool) - 1 pair of light weight shorts - 1 skirt - 4 shirts (1 longsleeved for travel and covering up if needed, 2 short sleeved and 1 for sleeping) - 2 pairs of bikinis - 2 scarfs (a thin one and a pashmina) - 3 pairs of shoes (light weight sneakers, ballerina type dressier shoes, and flipflops) - 1 travel towel - My every day toiletries plus sunscreen and hand sanitazer - A water bottle - An emergengy kit with bandages, painkillers and diarrhea meds (after a few tourist diarrheas I won't leave my home without them 😅) - Ear plugs - An IKEA packable light weight backpack for a day pack - 2 trash bags for dirty and wet clothes - My tech (phone, over-ear and in-ear head phones, and couple of power banks plus a USB-C charger and an extra cable) - A small cross body hand bag to keep the needed valuables close to my body On this trip I'm expecting hot weather so no need for a jacket or other heavier clothes but my packing list looks a lot like this one even when I'm travelling back home to the Arctic Circle to see my family in winter because even in -20 weather I usually wear dresses and leggins, just multiple layers and woolly materials.
There s the thing if winter and sumner harder.. I also need to just ditch everything else hsve nowhere to leave anything snd storage is too costly for me I need to take meds too and much warmer jackets as cant risk getting sick from cold! I do love watching these videos though.❤
@@chooselife1509 What would you leave out from my list? On that trip my bag was about 30 litres and the weight was under 8 kg because of the airline's weight restrictions.
Makes sense. Just did a 15 day one-bag trip. I took 10 kilograms, and I am fairly confident I can easily reduce 2 kilograms by further optimizations in future.
Put all the heaviest things in you pockets, wear the heavy hoodies and jackets whilst boarding. If needed bring a very thin backpack and wear the laptop underneath your jacket whilst boarding, with the backpack on top. Problem solved. A few kilograms on your body is nothing compared to obese lady behind you.
When I go camping for a week or more, all my personal essentials (minus camping gear) fit in a very small backpack. 3-4 pairs of undies/bras, 3 pairs of hiking pants (light weight, convertible, quick drying), 3-4 pairs of socks, 3 performance t-shirts, one set of merino wool under layers, 1 set of rain gear, gloves, hat & UL down jacket (weather dependent), 1 pair of hike/bike shoes, 1-2 pair of camp shoes (sandals and down camp slippers if it’s cold), and one set of sleeping clothes. For toiletries: a travel toothbrush, sample sized tooth paste, floss, sample sized deodorant, comb, razor, camp soap (for body, hair, and clothes), travel sized conditioner, chapstick, sunscreen, hand lotion, and prescriptions. For technology: my phone, 1-2 battery bricks, a tiny charger cable combo set, & USB chargeable headlamp. I also never leave home without a first aid kit. Depending on my trip, it can be super tiny or a bit more extensive if I’m in the back country. When I’m camping, I work by the wear one, wash one, spare one philosophy. One set of clothes to wear, one clean set for the next day, and one dirty set to wash. My sleep wear I only use when actually sleeping and wash every few days. That is where the camp soap comes in. It can be used as body wash, shampoo, and laundry soap.
Most European airlines limit carry-on luggage to 5-10 kg and certain dimensions. If you count all your electronics, you will be above the weight limit. Also, I didn’t see you pack a hoody, shoes, laptop and your camera in your backpack. So I wonder if there’s still enough space in your backpack for those items.
Put all the heaviest things in you pockets, wear the heavy hoodies and jackets whilst boarding.

If you are going somewhere warm. Just bring a pair of Birkenstocks. They double as nice enough for dressy dinners and just walking around towns. Then maybe a comfy tennis shoe for longer walks
Even as a lady I get by with 2 pairs of shoes (or even 1 on shorter trips). One "normal" pair I'd wear every day, and one slightly fancier usually with a block heel so it can still be versatile. I can make outfits work around that. If I reeeaally need something special I'll swap one of the two out for a special pair but that's not a gender-specific situation. Men flying out to a formal event are also going to have to pack formal attire.
I prefer rolling tshirts and shorts to folding to save space. Size is important but having a soft sided bag makes them way less likely to make you gate check it which is a huge benefit. The duffel bags that unzip to make a garment bag are clutch for formal one bag traveling.
My wife and I traveled full time for almost 2 years. Few packing tips: 1.) Packing: Buy a neck pillow with removable insides. Shove all of your small clothes inside of it like socks, underwear, etc. you can wear the neck pillow around your neck when boarding the plane and going through bag check and luggage claim. They never check your neck pillow for weight so it saves a lot of space in your pack. Wear your bulkiest clothes when you’re getting on the plane to save space in your pack. I would often wear a light pair of shorts and a T-shirt with my jeans and a jacket over them getting on the plane. Then I would go into the bathroom on the plane and remove the jeans and shove them in my pack, along with my jacket once we’re in the air. 2.) Baggage Claim: When weighing your carry on and personal item, keep heavier items in the pockets of your jacket so after they weigh them, you can throw them back in your carry on afterwards. 3.) Security: Liquids must be in their own bag and a lot of airlines require you to remove your laptops and extended displays or tablets during security check. I would keep my laptop and extended screen in a compartment that’s easy to access and my liquid bag in the same compartment so I could just remove them together easily and quickly. Try to have them already out before you have to remove them though to save time.
These are valuable advices. Thanks for sharing! I also usually pack 3 teeshorts: 1 short sleeve teeshort 1 long sleeve teeshort 1 nice looking polo short I wear them interchangeably according to weather and circumstances. In case of colder weather I can layer them. And I can wash them one at a time and still have enough clothes for most cases.
Try packing for both a hot summer and a cold winter all in one trip with some serious business meeting gear too. It is easy to pack for a single warm climate trip where it is all casual.
Love love love your channel as you speak so clearly and I totally understand your English. Thdnk you my friend. Liked, subscribed and ...already shared. 😊😊
It's weird that I'd likely have a template somewhat similar, but if I was given the packing list given here, I'd likely see some of them as a little redundant and actually get rid of/replace some of them. For example, there are swim trunks designed to be nice enough to wear as nice shorts. And there are workout shorts that can double as swim trunks (like these Vuori ones with a toned down pattern). And I've never needed compression shorts, as my boxer briefs do just fine (but probably stick to black). There's probably a hybrid between the workout shoes and Vans, but you'd still bring a second pair of shoes, Chacos, etc. It's probably important to remember he said the Vans are suitable for MORE formal - not ACTUALLY formal - occasions. And who doesn't like all black Vans w gum soles? Obviously a person can consider scaling back from 4 to 3 pair of socks/underwear. Ultimately, though, I'd likely bring just as much. It would just shift a little her or there, like with any of us.
Carry on only is quite easy. Take a 38 L backpack as your large bag that goes in the overhead compartment, then a 20L ryanair size bag that goes under the seat. Works like a charm.
Will you make a "winter" edition? Cold weather clothes can take up a bit more space & just curios how you do it. Thank you, by the way, for this video!
For a 3-day weekend trip I pack a set of clothes, toilet-tech-meds in a shopping bag! I love jeans and Dickies short sleeve work shirts! Uniqlo makes a perfect down jacket! Longer trips and cruises, I take 3 sets of clothes + the one I wear and enough toilet-tech-meds to last. Don’t forget Passports! ‘What you use at home is what you use away’ Just two small cheap backpacks, one a carry on and a personal item. I feel like I’m cheating sometimes. You get used to it …
packing cubes for clothing is my go-to. saves space! also, a fanny pack is nice to have - great for quick access during travel AND at destination are great small utility / day pack. happy travels!
With those Buffs, they're great to have along and you can get neck gaiters for under $10. But if you want to bring only one, I suggest the Buff brand merino wool midweight neck gaiter ($34). I've doubled it over and worn it as a beanie in -20 fahrenheit weather but works fine in warmer weather.
I can go places for 3/4 nights trips with just one Wandrd Prvke backpack, meanwhile carrying all the clothes I need, a laptop, tablet, camera, extra batteries, chargers, and at least 3/4 lenses. That backpack is just so insane.
I travel months at a time for work. For clothing I always bring 12 pairs of underwear, 14 pairs of t-shirts, 13 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of pants, 12 pairs of shocks, and 1 light jacket (I do not wear cotton). This only takes up 75% of my carryon bag (Monos Carry-On Pro Plus). Fully packed it weighs about 30lbs. I do not use packing cubes or roll my clothes, as they seem bulky and do not compress as good. Laundry approximately every 2 weeks. For toiletries; mainly toothbrush/tooth paste, floss, and my waterpik in the Peak Design toiletries bag (small). Hotels provide most bath amenities that I need. And I still have room for my electronics.
Great guide, everything explained as clean as possible and it really helped me out with figuring out the way to pack on my 10 days trip! Thank you big time:D
I think the #1 consideration before you start packing is laundry. If you have a good way to do laundry (quick-dry clothing, access to washing machines, laundry service, wash in sink, bring own collapsible bucket & detergent, whatever) you don't even have to pack! Just wash your clothes every night (while wearing your pajamas) and re-wear them in the morning. 😀 And BTW, how about pajamas? What do you wear to bed? Your daytime clothes? Or do you sleep naked? Also, why 3 shirts but 4 underwear? Why not pair them up? 😀
Good luck finding a place to hang your clothes in most hostels, particularly if you get the bottom bed in a bunk. If you choose to pay for washing/drying it's currently 10 euro a pop. I wash my underwear and socks in the shower until one big laundry day where I pay for it and wash all my clothes. I have washed pants and shirts in showers but it's unrealistic to do so in every hostel you stay. Also, even quick drying clothes sometimes don't dry out completely if you sleep 7 h and leave the hostel in the morning.
Your video was eye opener for me and I really sucks on packing for travel unnecessary items. Question I have to carry 2 laptop one 14inch mbp and 13 inch dell latitude. Will that laptop sleeves fits both laptops?
Excellent video! I have travelled with one backpack for the last 5 years around the world but ended up buying another bag this last trip because I bought more jeans and shoes while I was there. Didn’t need them for the trip, just good sale. I forgotten what a pain the second bag is at the airport when moving accommodations! Everyone can learn from your video, good one.
I dig your vids, thanks 👊💥 however I personally disagree with the "avoid backpacks that have just one pocket" statement. I love having a big empty shell. I can then use super thing organisers or packing cubes dependant on my needs for that particular trip. After I've arrived at my destination, I want my pack to be super light and mostly empty. When I have bought technical backpacks in the past, I'm always frustrated by the sheer weight and bulkiness of the thing. Now I prefer two bag travel, I backpack + roller as I'm a business traveler not a leisure one, but a few years back I started using the Kanken Laptop (with the extra cup sleeve and document organiser) and I haven't looked back. I can easily get two days travel with just this (more if I went with the 17") and once I get to my hotel it's back to it's super light low profile form.
Thx man, by far the best video about backpack travelling so far. I really enjoyed watching it and learned some things I'll keep in mind for the next upcoming trip.
I don't travel that often and rules seem to change by the day for electronics and batteries. Does the TSA hassle you with all the electronics equipment you bring on a carry-on bag? I also had a question about your bag, is it waterproof? Thanks for all the great tips!
Do say this works for you anywhere. Do you not travel to cold places, or are you just a very warm person? My setup is much the same, but for anywhere temperate and colder, I absolutely need my long wool baselayers (top and bottom), wool socks, and a wool cardigan (sweater works too, but a cardi is more versatile).
Great video and nice tips ! By the way, there is a removable waist strap available for the Wandrd prvke bags. Its sold separately but its very convenient and has 2 small zippered stash pockets (I have one).
Very interesting and inspiring. Thanks for that. Can you name the brand of your toiletry bag? I really like the size and that it has a handle. Thank you 😊
@@thetravelcoaches I’m currently using generic budget ones but I’m upgrading to Eagle Creek’s Compression cubes from their Pack it Isolate line. But if you still want mesh but still compresses I would recommend Nomatic’s
I love this video and really like the bag. I'm just wondering though about weather. I can do this when I'm traveling in or to warm places, but what about cold places? A lot of my travel is in winter because that's when I can get off, but even if I wore all the clothes you include here, I wouldn't have been warm enough in the Canadian Rockies last winter.
Yes winter packing can be much more difficult! That is why really enjoy things like a puffy jacket because it light weight and packs down really small. Also i will get rid of some of my camera gear to free up some more space! I would also get rid of any duplicates, like 1 pair of pants, one warm sweatshirt. I just make sure to bring stuff i can wear more than once. But wearing your heavy stuff is going to be the way to go in my opinion. hope this helps, but maybe i will do a winter packing video at some point!
@@thetravelcoaches Thanks. Winter travel really dos change things. For example, everyone talks about your shoes going through TSA, but my best winter hiking boots are the ones that have all those laces! I always wear them because they take up so much space in bag, but I'll sacrifice TSA inconvenience for making sure my feet are warm and dry and comfortable for winter activities later. Thanks for the reply.
Is the top compartment connected to the bottom? If not, can it be at all connected, or is al sealed? It would be great to be able to have a one big compartment. Potential buyer here.
There is a divider between the top and bottom compartment but it can be removed which is nice! So that way you could just have one big pocket if you need!
Great advice, until I realised that my wife's makeup and beauty care products need to be checked anyways. She would also like to travel with a backpack only but it doesn't work, unfortunately. :(
You said you will always have access to toiletries. That's not always true, if you land in Germany late on Saturday you might have to go without toothpaste for two nights but toothpaste is the only thing I make sure to bring, I can always find soap even if it's not my favourite shower gel.
I’m going to Italy for a wedding and I’m taking advantage and going for 2 weeks and traveling so I don’t think just a back pack will work for me 😭 but I’m trying to travel with one bag regardless
I Don't believe for a second that 32 liters (i think that's what he said) will fit under the seat of a low cost airline. It will definitely fit in the overhead bin when you get Priority, however. Still, props to him, because I still use my 38 Liter.
@@helenwood3199It's all you need to get soaked on the last trip I did, for sure. I was glad to have an umbrella and a second pair of shoes that were dry the next day.
Exactly, I got rained on several days on my last trip and I needed an umbrella, a second pair of shoes because the other got wet, and I maybe I should have brought a rain poncho.
I travel international at least 4 to 5 times a year and no way that bag will be allowed under seat baggage .. Yes, if you take one carry on airlines might allow but this is not under the seat .. but over head .. definitely ..
Flip flops, micro fiber towel, rain poncho to go over yourself and your backpack, lock if you stay at hostels, water bottle with built in filter are all must haves.

Formal is khakis with rolled-up legs, bare ankles (whoever decided that men's bare ankles are attractive was insane), and red sneakers. Got it.
Fits under the seat is not the only criterion. Many airlines also have a 7kg weight limit for carry-on. How much does your pack weigh?

For a 3-day weekend trip I pack a set of clothes, toilet-tech-meds in a shopping bag! I love jeans and Dickies short sleeve work shirts! Uniqlo makes a perfect down jacket!
Longer trips and cruises, I take 3 sets of clothes + the one I wear and enough toilet-tech-meds to last. Don’t forget Passports!
‘What you use at home is what you use away’
Just two small cheap backpacks, one a carry on and a personal item.
I feel like I’m cheating sometimes. You get used to it …
packing cubes for clothing is my go-to. saves space! also, a fanny pack is nice to have - great for quick access during travel AND at destination are great small utility / day pack. happy travels!
Love the traveling under-prepared mindset. Great takeaway for me!
Glad it was helpful!
I like your taste of cloth brands, Lululemon and Vouri are 2 of my favorite brands in recent years:)
With those Buffs, they're great to have along and you can get neck gaiters for under $10. But if you want to bring only one, I suggest the Buff brand merino wool midweight neck gaiter ($34). I've doubled it over and worn it as a beanie in -20 fahrenheit weather but works fine in warmer weather.
I can go places for 3/4 nights trips with just one Wandrd Prvke backpack, meanwhile carrying all the clothes I need, a laptop, tablet, camera, extra batteries, chargers, and at least 3/4 lenses. That backpack is just so insane.
I travel months at a time for work. For clothing I always bring 12 pairs of underwear, 14 pairs of t-shirts, 13 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of pants, 12 pairs of shocks, and 1 light jacket (I do not wear cotton). This only takes up 75% of my carryon bag (Monos Carry-On Pro Plus). Fully packed it weighs about 30lbs. I do not use packing cubes or roll my clothes, as they seem bulky and do not compress as good. Laundry approximately every 2 weeks. For toiletries; mainly toothbrush/tooth paste, floss, and my waterpik in the Peak Design toiletries bag (small). Hotels provide most bath amenities that I need. And I still have room for my electronics.
I know you are the guy when you mentioned lululemon. My partner got me couple of these shirts and pant and I can't love them more on trips!
Have a look to the decathlon organiser 500 / 40L
Great guide, everything explained as clean as possible and it really helped me out with figuring out the way to pack on my 10 days trip! Thank you big time:D
Great tip on the Anker, thanks. :) They have some cool options, and they’re running a sale.
Of all the travel videos I've been watching. Yours's is the best. Good info. You make it so simple.
Glad you like them! Thank you❤️
I switched from folding clothes to rolling clothes 👍🏻
I think the #1 consideration before you start packing is laundry. If you have a good way to do laundry (quick-dry clothing, access to washing machines, laundry service, wash in sink, bring own collapsible bucket & detergent, whatever) you don't even have to pack! Just wash your clothes every night (while wearing your pajamas) and re-wear them in the morning. 😀
And BTW, how about pajamas? What do you wear to bed? Your daytime clothes? Or do you sleep naked?
Also, why 3 shirts but 4 underwear? Why not pair them up? 😀
Good luck finding a place to hang your clothes in most hostels, particularly if you get the bottom bed in a bunk. If you choose to pay for washing/drying it's currently 10 euro a pop. I wash my underwear and socks in the shower until one big laundry day where I pay for it and wash all my clothes. I have washed pants and shirts in showers but it's unrealistic to do so in every hostel you stay. Also, even quick drying clothes sometimes don't dry out completely if you sleep 7 h and leave the hostel in the morning.
Yep. Like I said "...if..."
@@ZombieTomato
@@OmpasikomIf you buy new clothes every other day you don't need to pack anything!
😄😁😆@@ZombieTomato
Your video was eye opener for me and I really sucks on packing for travel unnecessary items. Question I have to carry 2 laptop one 14inch mbp and 13 inch dell latitude. Will that laptop sleeves fits both laptops?
I went from a check in suitcase to a 31 liter backpack. It makes travel so much easier
Excellent video! I have travelled with one backpack for the last 5 years around the world but ended up buying another bag this last trip because I bought more jeans and shoes while I was there. Didn’t need them for the trip, just good sale. I forgotten what a pain the second bag is at the airport when moving accommodations! Everyone can learn from your video, good one.
I dig your vids, thanks 👊💥 however I personally disagree with the "avoid backpacks that have just one pocket" statement. I love having a big empty shell. I can then use super thing organisers or packing cubes dependant on my needs for that particular trip. After I've arrived at my destination, I want my pack to be super light and mostly empty. When I have bought technical backpacks in the past, I'm always frustrated by the sheer weight and bulkiness of the thing.
Now I prefer two bag travel, I backpack + roller as I'm a business traveler not a leisure one, but a few years back I started using the Kanken Laptop (with the extra cup sleeve and document organiser) and I haven't looked back. I can easily get two days travel with just this (more if I went with the 17") and once I get to my hotel it's back to it's super light low profile form.
Awesome stuff, thanks so much for sharing! Appreciate you watching our videos❤️
I use a 5L bag at the most. Usually just a messenger bag. Doesn’t matter if I’m gone a week, month or year.
what stuff do you have inside it?
Do tell
I use a 1 L bag. Usually just a fanny pack. Doesn’t matter if I’m gone a week, month or year or a decade.
@@ZombieTomato I use a tea bag. Doesn’t matter if I’m gone…
@@open_water2411You win.
Great approach and philosophy. Being less tech heavy, I'm attempting a trip abroad with a 25L backpack. Thanks for the help!
Thx man, by far the best video about backpack travelling so far. I really enjoyed watching it and learned some things I'll keep in mind for the next upcoming trip.
Just subscribed.... awesome channel :)
Those Viouri shorts are killer. They also double as workout/running shorts.
I don't travel that often and rules seem to change by the day for electronics and batteries. Does the TSA hassle you with all the electronics equipment you bring on a carry-on bag?
I also had a question about your bag, is it waterproof? Thanks for all the great tips!
Did you pack your shoes in the demonstration? I didnt see them.
What are these good materials that last long and don't stink so much?
The WANDRD Prvke has a waist strap as an add-on.
This was such a helpful video, you've covered everything so well. Thank you
So, what's a layer? A small jacket? Or a rain poncho?
Do say this works for you anywhere. Do you not travel to cold places, or are you just a very warm person?
My setup is much the same, but for anywhere temperate and colder, I absolutely need my long wool baselayers (top and bottom), wool socks, and a wool cardigan (sweater works too, but a cardi is more versatile).
Tropicfeel shell is a great one, I use it myself and the wardrobe system saves time and also frees your bag to go out around
Great video and nice tips ! By the way, there is a removable waist strap available for the Wandrd prvke bags. Its sold separately but its very convenient and has 2 small zippered stash pockets (I have one).
Yes!! I just learned about this. Thanks for that information, I think I I will have to invest in it. Thanks for watching our video!❤️
Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
The one thing that I understood is that overweight people, like me, just have bigger and heavier clothes. Right people understand what I'm saying.
Try watching It’s The Kelly’s if you haven’t.
Where do you pack your laptop and camera. Did I miss that?
Nice video mate
Very interesting and inspiring. Thanks for that. Can you name the brand of your toiletry bag? I really like the size and that it has a handle. Thank you 😊
Many times they ask u to fill any form and paste ur photo on it.
Please suggest best reusable compact liquid glue for travelling
Thanks for the video, but I think I missed what you do in the case of heavy rain; is that Patagonia jacket enough or you have something more?
Does that bag really fit the carry-on requirements?
I would invest on a compression type of packing cubes for clothing especially that you bring a lot of tech
I have actually heard great things about those but have not invested in any yet! Do you have a brand that you use or would recommend?
@@thetravelcoaches Currently I’m using just generic brand ones but I’m about to upgrade to Eagle Creek’s Pack It Isolate - Compression Version
@@thetravelcoaches I’m currently using generic budget ones but I’m upgrading to Eagle Creek’s Compression cubes from their Pack it Isolate line. But if you still want mesh but still compresses I would recommend Nomatic’s
Which type of vuori swim trunks do you have?
Hey, can you please share how you use the weight support thing!
That clothing packing template gave me howtobasic vibes lol.
I love this video and really like the bag. I'm just wondering though about weather. I can do this when I'm traveling in or to warm places, but what about cold places? A lot of my travel is in winter because that's when I can get off, but even if I wore all the clothes you include here, I wouldn't have been warm enough in the Canadian Rockies last winter.
Haha. I just found your video about Everest Base camp!!! I'm going to go there. Thanks for the video. This is my first time on your channel.
Yes winter packing can be much more difficult! That is why really enjoy things like a puffy jacket because it light weight and packs down really small. Also i will get rid of some of my camera gear to free up some more space! I would also get rid of any duplicates, like 1 pair of pants, one warm sweatshirt. I just make sure to bring stuff i can wear more than once. But wearing your heavy stuff is going to be the way to go in my opinion. hope this helps, but maybe i will do a winter packing video at some point!
@@thetravelcoaches Thanks. Winter travel really dos change things. For example, everyone talks about your shoes going through TSA, but my best winter hiking boots are the ones that have all those laces! I always wear them because they take up so much space in bag, but I'll sacrifice TSA inconvenience for making sure my feet are warm and dry and comfortable for winter activities later. Thanks for the reply.
Is the top compartment connected to the bottom? If not, can it be at all connected, or is al sealed? It would be great to be able to have a one big compartment. Potential buyer here.
There is a divider between the top and bottom compartment but it can be removed which is nice! So that way you could just have one big pocket if you need!
@@thetravelcoaches Ah that is great to know, thanks! It was kind of deal breaker so defo getting it now
Great advice, until I realised that my wife's makeup and beauty care products need to be checked anyways. She would also like to travel with a backpack only but it doesn't work, unfortunately. :(
I would love a video like this, but for women. Girls gotta have her shoes, ya know?
Great we will try and make one for the women soon! Thanks for watching❤️
I like your packing style bud!👍 Just curious of the total weight of your bag..may i know? Thank you.
Because of my electronics it is quite heavy! I don't know the exact weight but if I had to guess, I would say 20lbs! Thanks for watching our video❤️
What razor do you use?
ABC pants for the win 😮
You said you will always have access to toiletries. That's not always true, if you land in Germany late on Saturday you might have to go without toothpaste for two nights but toothpaste is the only thing I make sure to bring, I can always find soap even if it's not my favourite shower gel.
“Super” interesting 😂
Thanks
Bravo~ that is amazing !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!❤️
I’m going to Italy for a wedding and I’m taking advantage and going for 2 weeks and traveling so I don’t think just a back pack will work for me 😭 but I’m trying to travel with one bag regardless
What is brand of backpack 🎒
I Don't believe for a second that 32 liters (i think that's what he said) will fit under the seat of a low cost airline. It will definitely fit in the overhead bin when you get Priority, however. Still, props to him, because I still use my 38 Liter.
I think u r doing an amazing job
try your best for bagless travel. you can do a TRAVEL VEST! super light and ZERO "luggage!"
Wow that is impressive
How about your camera and mini tripod?
What electric razor do you use? Seems very minimal.
It is an electric razor from manscaped
Running shoes or Boots depending on the weather
nice video
Thank you ❤️
Can’t believe you didn’t mention a raincoat or umbrella
that is a good point! It really depends on the trip if I add those things to my packing list! Thanks for watching our video❤️
Windbreaker with a hood is all you need.
@@helenwood3199It's all you need to get soaked on the last trip I did, for sure. I was glad to have an umbrella and a second pair of shoes that were dry the next day.
Great clip, but he forgot to add his pajamas. Now we know, without wanting to know 😂😂😂
You haven't travelled with my wife 😜. No piece of clothing can be once during a two week vacation.
On budget airlines bag larger than 20L aren't accepted. Ryanair, Vueling, Frontier, etc
Thank you for your time and posting. Now. Did you get your wife's approval on all those colors? ;)
There wasn't anything against rain.
And I quess this packing list for warm temperatures > 10C
Exactly, I got rained on several days on my last trip and I needed an umbrella, a second pair of shoes because the other got wet, and I maybe I should have brought a rain poncho.
I travel international at least 4 to 5 times a year and no way that bag will be allowed under seat baggage .. Yes, if you take one carry on airlines might allow but this is not under the seat .. but over head .. definitely ..
Yeah, 30 L is smaller but close to carry on limit, not personal item. He got this completely wrong.
❤❤❤
You should also include face towels.
A bath tower for sure, hostels usually charge for towels, I always bring mine.
And the laptop?
IDK what airlines you fly, but a 31 liter fits under very few airline seats....
anyways should fit as cabine lugagge over head in every "normal" airline. and i mean AF, KLM, Etihad, British etc not low cost airlines
@@omasimaEven low cost but you have to pay extra.
What Lululemon pants are those again?
