Very Well done. We ( married couple 70s) have visited over 90 countries - and more to come - with a similar set up including using the Farpoint 40 and Osprey Daylite Plus. 8 kg in main and 3 kg in daypack. Since we want to have capability of not being noticeable in a 5 star location we confine ourselves to having black tops and pants and our walking shoes are all black. Easy to maintain clean and a classic look that goes anywhere. We do not look completely out of place anywhere. We are also big fans of merino wool and use that wherever possible. We also carry a. complete medical kit knowing it is inevitable to get sick i.e. stuff we are famikiar with in cold meds; ibuprofen; immodium; tums etc.

Long time backpacker here and I got a lot out of this video, your packing is very minimalist, impressive!

Cheers, Don! Yeah it seems they’ve gone pretty minimal on the organisation of the bag. I’ve found this to be it’s best and worst feature… only having the main compartment, laptop sleeve and tiny top zip pocket means there’s nowhere to conveniently stow small items you want to get to easily. However, this means the main compartment is really spacious and I can fit more stuff with my own packing cubes. Bit of a trade off but works for me since I always carry my waist pack across my chest for smaller items. Paddy Pallin in Perth is a great store and I’m there often! Safe travels

Good video! However, take into account that the Farpoint 40 is too big as a carry on in most, if not all, the European low cost airlines like Ryanair,Easyjet, etc. One of the problem s is that it has a rigid frame. Also notice that many airlines limit the weight of the pack and not only the size. Airlines are more strict in Europe than in the US, but ticket prices are much lower as well. Good look with the trip!

Is that your laptop under the packing cube at 11:06? Why is it not in the laptop compartment? This bag fits so much I was wondering if it could fit multiclimate trips like Peru for the hot amazon and cold mountains, seems like it can :D I wish the ID pocket on the flap that goes over the shoulder and waist strap was closeable, would be a perfect place for tha airtag. How come your laptop compartment has 2 lockable zips and mine that just arrived today has only 1 zip..

That’s just the laptop sleeve I have for when I take the laptop out and about, my laptop lives in the back compartment. Definitely can do multi-climate trips with ease!

Hey, was planning to use 40L farpoint for trip next year. However, the weight limit is kinda ass sometimes (7kg sometimes)... is ryanair strict with weights? Also, is it hard to limit with 7kg? Ill bring similar stuff like camera etc whoch weight quite a lot... and i do NOT want to check the bag

@BeforeWeExpire

6 ай бұрын

We’ve taken 8 Ryanair flights and have never had our bags weighed and we’ve only seen a scale once at the gate. They don’t seem to look twice at the bag even when it’s full and weighing over 13kgs, probably because it’s a backpack. When the Farpoint 40 is completely full it will still easily fit in the Ryanair overhead storage so I’d say you’ll be just fine on Ryanair if you get the cabin baggage option on your flights. Also if you’re worried about weight, you can bring a collapsible backpack that is ‘personal item’ size, and put all your heavy stuff in that bag as they don’t have a weight limit for personal items. Hope this helps!

Aqwsome bag. So hard to find videos if oacking lists that weigh in the high 20lbs range. I cant seem to get my list below 30lbs and thinn im doing something wrong.

I love the Farpoint so far and would definitely choose it again. From what I’ve seen about the Sojourn Porter 46 - it looks like a Farpoint 40 with more packing compartments, thicker sidewalls for protection and a less supportive backpack frame. So I guess it really depends on your preference. I love the simplicity of the Farpoint 40 and the harness is unreal but you might find the porter more suited to you :)

What is the packed weight? Airline limits for carry-on weight (7 - 8Kg) are more restricting than dimensions.

Ryanair allows you to book a cabin bag (10kg) and a small personal item bag for a small fee. So I just stick to those limits
