Wanted to post my travel coffee setup which has evolved over 10 years of international business travel. Photos here. The main components include: 1. Aeropress with modified plunger handle (see photo) 2. Timemore Nano 3. Snowpeak 450 double wall Ti mug 4. Humangear GoTubb with filters 5. Generic immersion water heater 6. (re)Zip silicon bag for coffee 7. Eagle Creek small (I think) packing cube
Couple comments: 1. I prioritize coffee while one bag traveling because I often end up in remote areas with no good options. 2. The setup has evolved over the years but the main concept of a collapsable setup involving Aeropress, grinder, and cup have remained. I am looking into a pour over setup with collapsible kettle for two people-more on that to come.
P.S. literally the first time I’ve ever posted something so I’m crossing my fingers the photo link works…
I seemingly am the only permanent onebagger who has to bring two laptops. I’m a software developer and I need both my laptops - y work laptop (16” MBP) and my personal laptop (13” MBP)
I wish I could use my personal laptop for work, not sure if it’s feasible though (as well as potentially getting in trouble). I would consider dropping my personal laptop but my work laptop is quite tied down and I definitely feel I need the separation
I’m doing this full time, so I need a permanent solution!
Edit: my question was misleading, so I edited it to be a bit clearer
Did you have any bad experiences, any mistakes packing, anything you wish you had done differently?
I want to become a one-bag traveller, but the idea of downsizing so much seems a bit scary. So I thought I would try to do a minimal one bag test run on a short trip just to see what it could be like. I also have the added challenge of being a plus size woman, and like plus size by North American standards, not European 🤣 This means my clothes are bigger and just take up more space. In addition I am giving this a go with my regular clothing, not fancy technical gear.
I am currently living in Hamburg and tomorrow I am heading to Berlin for 3 nights. I will be staying at a hotel and spending all day wandering about the city. The only bag I am taking with me is an Osprey Daylite that is 13L. This bag was already my EDC so I thought I would see if I could make it work. The weather is supposed to range from 22°C to 27°C while I am there with very low chance of rain.

Packed:
I was just chatting with my nine year old who flies once or twice a month, and I realized he doesn’t even know what it means to check a bag.
Small bit of news today, we’ve updated the returns processing system to hopefully make things easier for people to use. Exchanges in particular should be both easier and faster. We’re using a third party system called Returnly which helps facilitate it all. Part of what they offer is a risk management system that allows us to ship replacement items without waiting for the return to be fully processed so that’s where the speed comes in. More invisibly the whole set up should be better integrated with all our various internal systems saving us time which we can then use to offer even better service.
New systems often come with unexpected hiccups and glitches so please be patient with us! But for the most part this stuff is all up and running now. Obviously it’s best if you never find the need to return or exchange anything, but if you do need to use the system please feel free to let us know how well the experience goes.
“Damn, I like almost every single pant in the archive more than anything they currently have.” Bummer I just found out about Outlier recently. A lot of the discontinued stuff looks great.
A high waisted and pleated pant that wears as cool as a short. Linen’s dry touch and beautiful aging character meets a radical warp-knit weft-insertion technique to create an ideal summer pant that is remarkably open to the air yet opaque to the eye.
A high waisted and pleated pant in the lightweight strength of F.Cloth. The silhouette is loose up top with a tapered flow. Instead of a side seam there is only a dart up top for easy moving elegance.
Now available in Charcoal, Dark Navy, Dry Tan, Black and Sagebrush
Our new favorite highdarts silhouette done up in the rugged elegance of the experimental Nylistic Merino Canvas fabric. A high waisted and pleated pant with lots of room up top and a gentle taper at the bottom, it takes flawlessly to the weight and drape of the Nylistic fabric.
A short like air. A big, loose and baggy short with an elastic waist and button fly in the radically open-yet-opaque Injected Linen fabric.
Anyone else experiencing some uncomfortable pocket liner rub on the New Way Five-Fives?
The rear pocket bags are constructed differently than they are on previous pairs of NWS, and if I have anything in the back pockets, there’ll be some rather unpleasant rubbing on the backs of my thighs.
Anyone else, or is it just me?
And is this how all of the NWS pockets are constructed now?
I have a couple pairs of MW Jeans and I like them a lot, I would like a chino style paint that is similar. I heard the 60/30s were very similar, but since they are no longer being made. Is there another pair I should be looking at? Or company?
