This one bag thing is really hard and I haven’t even gotten on the plane fucking plane yet. Apparently I grossly overpacked and overstuffed this bag. Moral of the story: JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD. You may literally be forced against your will to throw things out that you overpack.
Wish me luck for 2 weeks in Europe. I may not have toothpaste but at least I will look cute lol. Hopefully I don’t have a meltdown
Some of the things you guys post as part of your EDC lists absolutely baffle me.
Some of you carry flashlights. Does your cellphone not have a flashlight??
Some of you carry more than two knives. I’d love an explanation about that.
Some of you carry more than one gun. I understand that one even less.
Some of you carry a compass. Again — what? What could you possibly need with a compass every single day?
I hope I don’t sound too abrasive or anything! I’m making this post out of genuine curiosity — I don’t mean to bash on anyone’s EDC lists! I just figured it was about time to ask.
What else do you guys carry that seems totally unreasonable to carry to other people?
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to this community. Not only has it been extremely cathartic to see people building out their onebags throughout the pandemic but it also helped keep me excited through a long period where we weren’t sure when we would be able to leave. However, we made it! Today we board our one way flight to Iceland and I couldn’t be more pumped. To make this a bit more OT for the subreddit here is my list:
Backpack + Cubes
Clothes
Any recommendations for a portable bidet for “one bag”? I have become accustomed to using one here in Thailand and now consider using only toilet paper barbaric. Thank you, from the bottom … !
I see a lot of posts about bags and a few about containers but are there any specific things for toiletries that you’ve found useful? I have the ULA Dragonfly
There are everyday nice features, like wrinkle-resistant, quick drying, non-fading etc. and then there are nice things that only certain moments bring out. Here are some (rare) pleasant surprises I have found that make the hobby fun for me.
Ramilust Cut-one- absorbed the smell of the ocean and reminded me of vacation for a while afterward. Also, putting one on when you are sweaty is so nice. It doesn’t stick to you.
Freecotton Button-up- impromptu baseball game with cousins
Dreamweight Raw Cut Longsleeve- forgot bug spray. Look forward to testing this further against bugs
S140 Merino Boxford- stuck in an unexpected long walk, in the heat, and this was still nice to wear (in spite of being a heavy shirt). Wool likes to stay dry, and dry is really what keeps me coming back.
A towel that fits. A hooded and wearable towel that doubles as a beach blanket, lightweight (UPF 15) sun protection, an evening wrap, and who knows what else. The Grid Linen fabric sheds sand and absorbs moisture while staying dry to the touch for a better dry down experience, but more than anything it’s just plain fun to have at the beach.
Now available in Blue Vibes, Brown Vibes, Red Vibes, Gray Vibes, Summer Blue and Gray Rock
A light, airy and nearly sleeveless hoodie in our dry and breezy Grid Linen fabric. One size for wearing it loose, a front kangaroo pocket and barely there dolman cap sleeves for that high-at-the-beach perfection.
Now available in Red Vibes, Brown Vibes, Blue Vibes and Gray Vibes
How many wears do you typically give your outlier clothing before you wash? I get a couple wears for my New way Five Fives and SDs but for shirts I would get 1-2. I’m not sure if since it’s higher quality clothing I shouldn’t wash it as much?
I’m a bit behind the curve here, I’d been waiting for runweight replacements for a while (years?), just noticed that’s what the Sportweight’s are that came out 4 months or so ago. Wondering if there will be a restock of sage or more colors anytime soon?
These are them. They’re a lighter fabric than the slim dungarees I think. I got these back in December 2021 so not sure if it’s an item that is still listed or if it was even ever listed, I know sometimes the WTF pack could be experimental or just erroneous items they never put on sale. I like them a lot though, seem like they’ll be a good summer chino type of pant. Going to get them hemmed to my length soon. Just wondering if anyone might be able to ID them as a current or past Outlier item though. Thanks
