    Love the video and the look of the bag. You seem to be advocating going smaller to the 19L backpack- personally wouldn't do that as depending on the climate (cold means thicker clothes, gloves etc.), the type of activities planned and, for me, how much food/eating utensils I would also carry, then the pack needs to be under filled as you have it currently.
    A ultralight stuff bag is handy to separate dirty/wet clothes, to carry food items and to store your main contents so you can go out for the day without all that additional weight.......Also recommend a collapsible drink bottle. Always thought packing cubes were a waste until I used them but now wouldn't "leave home without them" as they organise & compress items so well.
    Happy travels girl with the small backpack and lovely smile

      @Esther I agree...re: the water bottle and the stuff bag...however...I have tried the packing cubes a few times and didn't like them.
      I am a hanger, and a bundler...I put my clothes on hangers [2-3 tops per bottom] and I bundle them. All my ephemera goes in 2x4 pocket hanging toiletry bags. Unpacking consists of grabbing the hooks and hanging. Undies and shoes stay in the bag.
      And...I have discovered I pack the same/similar weight, 13-15kg, Summer or Winter. I take more but lighter items in hot and humid places where I change more often, and less but bulkier items that I wear again and again in cooler climates. Same Same.

    Fantastic packing video! I love my Synapse 25 and I think what makes it such a cool one-bag-travel-kind-of-pack is that it's low profile even when you have a decent amount of items inside. Again, great video.

    pretty cool. I aspire to have this amount of stuff. Little by little. I moved to another country so I didn't bring much with me when I came so I started from scratch anyways but I being here for 2 years now, I have aquired more clothing than I probably should have... although nowhere near as much as I had in the States. Good video. Peace

    • @tijay8507
      @tijay8507 2 роки тому +1

      This came up again in my recommended three years on and i still can't believe she didn't add a couple more pairs of shorts/playsuit or skirts, 2 bikinis and a couple more tops as it would have still easily fit in that bag especially as she didn't roll the items and that saves room! Take a full weeks clothing as in travel clothes you can wear the same larger items there and back ....
      Then 10 outfits! 5 day time (more casual) and 5 night time (nicer/more dressy)
      Playsuits and dresses count as one full outfit so that is two of the 10 in two items!
      Add skirts, shorts, thin flowly trousers and tops/body suits to match in amounts to suit the person but no more than 10 outfits in total and then they can easily be mixed and matched to create dozens of outfit combos! choose thin fabrics and crop tops, vests and cami tops and pack at least 3 bikinis for a hot climate ... wash one, wear one and one clean ... if they are rolled they will easily fit in a personal item or carry on!

      It came up on my UA-cam in November 2022!
      I think your suggestions miss her point of being a minimalist.
      Someone whose toiletries consist of a hairbrush, toothbrush and paste and very little else is a capital “M” minimalist.
      If she watches this, I suggest she start her videos with information about the bag/pack and the packing cubes. This saves her having to answer the questions.

    • @tijay8507
      @tijay8507 2 роки тому +1

      @@sandrakramer1520 I am saying you can take that much in a tiny bag! I NEVER miss the point! it just an excuse to be filthy not to take enough for clean items for AT LEAST every other day so you can wash them and rewear them.. also you need to either take or buy toiletries and what difference does it make if you take enough for a few days and buy more! taking a carry on bag is minimal enough for anyone, it is just an excuse to be unhygienic and dirty!
