Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, has just posted a onebag guide, with a shoutout to /r/onebag as well.
Perhaps an odd question, but I recently rewatched Kiki’s Delivery Service (if you’ve never watched it, you shouldāit’s the most wholesome movie ever) and realized it probably had a big influence on my packing style. I’ve loved that movie since I was a child, and always dreamed of grabbing a bag like Kiki and taking off. Not saying the real benefits of packing light don’t matter, but I do think her story primed me to embrace onebag travel.
All of that to say, what movie or book inspired your onebagging? Can you think of any stories that shaped your thoughts on packing light?
And what is your reasoning?
For me, I’ve dialed it down to:
With the underwear and socks being washed daily in the shower, this gets me through a week before I need to do a load of laundry.
Curious to hear what others do differently!
I donāt mind paying more but unless I am missing something, isnāt the main concern is it the right size and is it durable and slightly waterproof? Anything Iām missing?
If you want to know why you should go onebag carry on, this is it:

After a malfunction with the baggage system at a terminal in Heathrow airport, hundreds of pieces of luggage remainedā¦..
ā¦As a result of the mishap, some passengers had to fly without their bags, while others dealt with check-in delays as long as two hours. According to the BBC, a Heathrow spokeswoman apologized for the chaos.

I had my tailor make me what can only be described as a Supermarine Carry Hard Box Shirt. Itās like a StrongShank design but with ventile, loaded with 10 pockets all the way around and then with the fit of a boxford. Also thereās a sling like on the extra fleece topcoat
Super excited about this one. Anyone want to see pics? My tailor is amazing

Iāll be traveling to Europe this August, and Iād like to pack just a few shirts. Iām looking at Outlierās merino offerings. Iām 5ā9ā and ~180 pounds. I normally wear a large. I hate shirts that show nipples.
Which kind of shirt would you all recommend, and what size should I get considering possible shrinkage after washing?
Thanks in advance.
Hey all - while we wait for the F.Cloth hard shirts to return, whatās your favorite lightweight overshirt? Bonus points if itās snap front and slim(mer) fit. Thanks!
