My 75 liter bag (which I used to bring earlier) has a separate place for bringing shoes. I'm thinking of buying a 40L osprey farpoint bag instead though bc the 75 is too big sometimes.

This might be easier for females, but I always find that a nice big size but thin material scarf is an excellent thing to have while traveling. It can be a pillow, blanket, swimming cover, dress up accessory, or modesty garment for religious spaces.

Please consider a range of women, not just younger ones with youthful skin, slender bodies, and pain-free feet. Of course it's easy for them to pack. Or grab something at the store that will suffice if a need arises - everything fits! Everything works! I'm content to scurry around the EU with my larger hardside until someone produces a video that TRUTHFULLY addresses a wider demographic than is presented here and on most other channels. Anything less becomes a vehicle for shaming those with greater needs.

Love your guys channel. It has helped me with ideas when I pack for my family. Hope to see some family content on here someday.

Hi Guys Really nice to see you guys up to speed again with your videos and travel. Thank goodness, we can start travelling again. As you said, carry on travel is THE best way to travel. I bought the Osprey 55cm long ruckdack after your recommendation. The only disadvantage I found to this was even just 8kg srarts to weigh down tremendously when you have to hang around in the airport fir a few hours. The wheeled trolly cases look really nice at those times!! Do you have any suggestions/ideas for how to roll/wheel a rucksack such as the Osprey 55l which does not have wheels?

Packing for a trip to Orlando. Not flying but I have a small call so the efficiently I can pack the better.

Definitely check out the Hip Sling full size from Waterfield! It’s super nice!!!

Great tips, and I know from own experience that they all work. Here two of my tips: a) there is a clothes grouping method which is especially practical on short trips, e.g. whiles going a short trail or for trips of some professionals like truckers etc: the day roll method. Means: Form a roll from whatever you need on one day - socks, underwear, shirts etc. - so you don't have to open your sock bag, your underwear bag, your shirt bag etc. but just grab the Friday roll, the Saturday roll, etc. b) Always carry a pashmina stola (approx. 30"x80", if possible at least 70% pashmina/cashmere wool) with you. Has almost no weight (max 250 g) and takes zero space in whatever luggage. But it doubles as your blanket in the airplane, as replacement for a pullover on cold evenings, as additional blanket layer on your bed in the hostel, comforts you in the early morning taxi to the airport etc. Carry it especially also for summer or tropical destinations, cos you will definitely need it at least in the evenings - when it turns down from 38° C to 23° you will feel cold. Pro tip: works also for men. ;-)

I saw comments about what a female would pack: here’s my two-cents:: As a female who is becoming more experienced in traveling out of only carry one, (specifically via planes) I’m also a chronic over packer I like to pack 1 shirt per day up to 5, after that I’ll have to rewear/wash, and 2-4 pants or bottoms. Plus one nice outfit. I find that solid colors work best. I have 2 toiletries bag- one for normal bathrooms items (including Tide Pen, sunscreen, bug spray, itchy cream, bandaids, anti-bacterial cream, Advil) and 1 for makeup, both are about 8”x5” by 3” (or so) deep. I’ve also had no need to place them in clear zip lock bags, everything is under FDA Carry on liquid size. I like packing cubes (Amazon recommended work well enough for me) sometimes I will put a smaller one with underwear/bathing suits inside other packing cubes. I also roll the majority of my clothes and fold the “bigger” clothes such as a nice dresser type sweater. I like to wear my boots, jeans, belt, coat while traveling because it’s the hardest to pack. Id possible I like to pack 1 set of nicer or open toe shoe and one light weight closed toe shoe. If I will be on planes for more than 4 hours I will bring a neck pillow, I also bring 1 book (just in case) my phone, headphones (& chargers) with movies/shows downloaded, and a phone holder that clips to the tray table in front of me. (Best thing I’ve purchased yet!) An umbrella, I also pack 1 or 2 snacks, and EMPTY water bottle, and wipes (face/hands + disinfectant). Of course I can’t forget hand sanitizer. Lastly I only take 1 set of jewelry which I wear 100% of the time unless I’m swimming. I also suggest using a lock on your backpack for the added security. Please if you have any advice to add or experience I’d like to hear your standard packing list!!

It was many years since I last was on a trip somewhere. But the thought of just bringing one bag feels so much easier. It's also easier to just grab a single bag when u are on the train or flight instead of the issue of forgetting one bag by accident on the train when u leave. Which almost happened to me.

That GR2 is really starting to develop a patina… 😉 Great bag BTW, it really is top notch!

Great tips, as usual. I plan on starting my world travels next year. The one thing I never hear or see about with packing is the CPAP machine. It's medically exempt from weight for flying; however, the portable machines and tubes still take up room. Any insight would be helpful.

I have the Peak Design as my travel backpack. I like the simple sleek design without all the stuff on the outside. I snapped the top to it to make it look smaller and for a sleeker contour rather than boxy looking. The main reason I chose this backpack was for the security features it provides when you are traveling in crowded public spaces. Unfortunately this is something none of the KZread backpack reviewers talked about...

nice review..what is the brand of the bag with two buckle lock in your background please?

I have been doing one bag travel (internationally) for almost a year now and yes these tips are really helpful. I am strictly Merino wool when I am traveling. Firstly it's wearable when hot or even when it's a bit chilly...regulating my body temperature a bit better than most other clothes. Secondly it's anti-microbial so you don't have body odour and you don't have to wash it every day. Finally it's less prone to wrinkles. I still haven't found a formal shirt equivalent to it but that's okay for now since I mostly travel for fun and not business. However for people who travel for a bit of work and fun mixed together, it will be great to have something formal that doesn't wrinkle up and can be chucked inside the bag without a worry.

Welcome back

I love the videos on this channel, but I have yet to see a video on how to get through security quckly. I have a a cpap machine and along with other electronics I also have to remove, security is time consuming. Often, I just check a bag for this reason. Is there a bag with a exterior pocket with space for a cpap machine?

Would love to see a video on the Thule Paramount backpack! It's one I've had for coming up on a year now, and it's hit every mark of a perfect backpack for me. Would love to see what you guys think about it! Keep up the great work :)

Been one bagging for 35 years (same eagle creek bag) and I still learned a few tips from this channel. Two inexpensive suggestions for you. Consider a 100% thin batik/patterned sarong (72x36 inches). It works as a towel, a coverup, a bed sheet, privacy shade, laptop case, sling bag and a hundred other things. It will replace a few things you mentioned, weighs little and is multi purpose. I also bring a shemagh or keffiyah that works as a warming or cooling scarf, hat, sling, etc but is smaller at ~42x42 inches. Worth knowing how to use it from other KZread videos.

No matter the fabric, wrinkles will release easily without ironing. I just pack a small water spray bottle. FIll with water upon arrival, unpack, hang wrinkled stuff in bathroom and lightly spray both sides with water. 99% of the time, the wrinkles 'release' in seconds...no bathroom steaming or ironing required. Best travel fabrics are blends - I prefer rayon - I stay away from polyester - it's too hot for me. But even wools (I like merino), cotton, and linen 'release' wrinkles when lightly sprayed with water. I never travel with or wear denim jeans. Too thick, hot, uncomfortable for me.

I just bought a peak design 45l travel backpack, is it going to be ad good ad this one for long term travel?

I find lots of vids on packing but I barely see any vids on laundry and used stuff. Do you just put them back on the compartments then you wash the compartments with the clothes as soon as you get home? That's the part I might need some more tips on travelling.

I think it is better to put sandals sideways inside the bag or in the pocket that easy to reach for. Most of the time you have to change from wearing shoes to sandals on your travel.

Can ya'll do the Mystery Ranch Gallagator, Please. Never saw it in your Contents yet, I saw some others in KZread but mostly their Japanese and they don't have a Closed Caption in English...

Detroit, baby!

I have traveled in 9 countries. I roll together 1 slacks or jeans, a pr. underwear, a pr. Socks and 1 top in one bundle. And put them in packing cubes. I put other tops in a separate packing cube. Just grab one bundle and you have saved a lot of time. For skirts I lay out the skirt, a pr underwear,, then a slip, then a top, fold lengthwise and roll them together. Same convenience. I pack overshirts, jackets, etc in 2.5 gallon Hefty zip lock bags. Fold them sleeves in and then in thirds. They easily slide in, compress and pack flat. It is handy to have the zip lock bag to put a wet raincoat in. Pack shoes each separate and line the edges of the bag with them. Cram extra Socks or belts into the shoes. Just some ideas. These have really worked for me! HAPPY TRAILS!

For Australia, and nearby countries, there’s a 7kg (15 pound) limit for carry-on luggage,. That pack, as configured, would’ve needed to be checked. I think the GR2 pack weighs around 2kg, and I suspect the rest of the items would weigh between 6-8 kgs. I’ve got an osprey transporter 36 ltr and I was able to pack enough for 3 days, but I had to work from my iPad, as the addition of my lap-top took my pack over the allowable weight. (It was 6.7 kgs in the end). Good video though.👍🏼

@@canyonoverlook9937 Regarding the personal item, it depends on what airline, the ticket you purchase and whether you're flying domestic or international. For example, Qantas International economy (from what I've seen on their website) has a 7kg limit on carry on bag, and allows a personal item. The allowances differ if you buy a premium economy, business and first class ticket. They further differ if you fly domestic! Jetstar allows a personal item, but the combined weight of the carry on item and personal item must be less than 7kg (as stated on their website. In practice, I don't know if Jetstar weight both items!). In any case, 7kg isn't much to play with!

With my 33l bag pack that opens nearly halfway down: I usually just fold larger items in the center: pants, shirts, sweater. Below dirty clothes and shoes in separate plastic bags. Then put smaller clothes in rolls to the sides to maximize the volume use: one side for socks and other for underpants. That leaves the top of the bag for easy access and heavier stuff like chargers, toiletries and so on. Laptop has a dedicated pocket which it slides into.

Hi JCool! In general, the smaller the better to help reduce weight and space in your pack. That said, if you plan on doing activities that require a towel (like vising the beach) often, a larger option could be better. Thanks for the comment! - Austin

Hey Turner, this is the Icebreaker Shifter Long Sleeve Zip Hoodie: packhacker.com/travel-gear/icebreaker/shifter-long-sleeve-zip-hoodie/ - Rebecca

What name of boots in this video? I like it.

Hi, as always, great video. Are we allowed to bring our swiss knife or multitool with sharp knife in our backpack into the cabin?

Hey Ted! Generally speaking, you are not allowed to bring anything with a knife attached to it on a plane. Some multi-tools are designed to be TSA compliant but even those can be confiscated at the discretion of an agent. Thanks for the comment! - Austin

Do you guys have any store where someone can walk in and do some shopping?

I know this comment is late but check out REI.

What are the shoes are at 8:09?

The only thing I wanted in addition to your list is an extra pair of shoes. How much space did you have left? Is it enough for a pair of dress shows. I am planning on getting a 40L GR2 Backpack. I will be away for 3months and would like at least two pairs of shoes.

If we’re bringing two pairs of shoes, we like to bring a standard set of all-around shoes and a smaller pair of packable or open-toe shoes. This won’t work for all climates-but they cover most needs! -Eric

Do you have a video on how to fold and roll everything so neatly?

Hey Rose! We've got something in the works. Stay tuned! - Austin

Do you also carry a "personal item" bag to put under the front seat? Have you ever been forced by an airline employee to check your backpack because of lack of bin space, size or weight? Thanks.

How many times did you practice that slide on the ice?

Without any issues. I have them on my keys and did'n have any problem anywhere, where I went (mostly Europe, one trip to USA).
