Context: I am an avid backpacker and used to guide for work. I’d take folks out into the woods for weeks at a time. In essence, backpacking is one bagging. Fitting all your necessities into one bag and going on your way.
My boss who trained me had one rule. “You only get one luxury item to pack”. Basically, you get to bring one thing that isn’t necessary for a successful trip. For him, it was coffee. He always wanted a cup each morning, and even though he could successfully do a trip in the woods for a week without it, he’d always pack his coffee supplies.
This got me thinking about what some of your “luxury” items you all pack for your one bag travels?
For me, it’s my camera gear. I don’t technically need to lug around my full frame camera and lenses to have a successful trip traveling (especially with how good cell cameras are these days), but I always make the effort to pack it.
Just looking to see what other folks are going …
Hi all, long-time reader, first-time poster here. Keeping up with this sub is actually the main reason why I even created a Reddit account (checks notes) almost 4 years ago. Yikes, time flies.
I have wanted to share my experiences with one bagging (and many bagging) for a while now, and I have finally decided to do so after finding something cool to share. As a queer AFAB person with a more masculine-leaning style who travels a lot for both work and leisure, it’s frustrating to see the wide range of very cool travel clothing that’s available for male bodies, while women’s lines mainly consist of leggings and dresses. There’s nothing wrong with leggings and dresses, of course, but they’re just not for me. At the same time, I can’t fit into most men’s clothes because of boobs and hips.
I have spent entire days on the internet just looking for clothes that 1) I actually like, 2) but also fit my body, and 3) are great for travel: they pack small, dry quickly, are multifunctional, …
Any suggestions for a packable sun hat that is still a bit fashionable? I’ll be out in the sun in 90+ heat all day in cities in Portugal and Spain so trying to not look too dorky. I don’t usually wear a hat.
edited to say- I’m a women
I’m going on a sun/beach vacation in a few weeks. I’ll be there for 6 nights, 5 days. I intend to take a carry on and a personal item only, no checked bags. That means that All my liquids have to be in containers of 100 ML or less, and they must all fit in a 1 L pouch.
They sell sunscreen at the resort but it is wildly expensive. So I’d like to take my own.
Also, I have brown skin so I can’t wear mineral sunscreen without looking extremely pale/blue.
And because I’m going to be swimming a lot, it needs to be waterproof.
I’m thinking of taking a solid sunscreen stick. The only one I’ve been able to find has been the sunbum waterproof sunscreen stick.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I’m also trying to minimize the amount of liquids I take with me so that I can maximize the amount of liquid sunscreen that I can take in case the solid sunscreen doesn’t work out. The hotel room has full size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so …
I bought everything from yesterday and want to share a few thoughts.
Yes pants: This is my first exposure to og cloth. I love the stretchiness and luxuriousness of the cloth. They’re too warm for summer, but come fall the water repellent quality will make these amazing dog walking pants.
Keeping these
Ramie cut 3: I bought this thinking cut 1 is too short, so maybe this will be better? It’s about 5 inches longer (unwashed), so better isn’t the right way to think about it. It would be more useful to look at the model and ask am I that guy? Could I be that guy?
I might keep these. I’m still trying to decide if I can be that guy.
Mesh shorts: The core use case for these might be subtly flashing your dick at the grocery store. Fcloth is breathable enough for hiking shorts, and I’d rather lounge in injex baggies.
These are going back
Edit: to be clear, I love the experiments and I don’t care if Outlier is greedy or not. They make awesome …
Is it just me + a minority of people who preferred Outlier’s old aesthetic/direction to their new one? Even their website looked much better imo; it seemed much more functional/easy to navigate even though they effectively do the same thing. The clothing itself obviously changed too. I dont mind experimentation just for the sake of it, in fact thats what makes Outlier so cool, but it feels like their new creative direction takes itself more seriously, even if the intent is the other way around. No hate, i still like em, but curious about other’s thoughts.
Yes another pants experiment. Loose and tapered in our original OG Cloth 4-way stretch doubleweave. Inside-outside 3Bar set up allows the drawcord to hang on either the interior or exterior. A deep-fifth pocket and a key loop round out the right side.
Here is the fit pic from 8⁄16 drop. Both Ramielust and Overkill are size M. I’m 5’9, 190. I did enjoy the subtle breeze on the bottom at a grocery store. Hope it helps.
Experiment 340 - Overkill Mesh Bigs
A meshed out shorts experiment. Thick, dense and smooth Overkill pushes the limits of what constitutes a mesh, threading the border between opaque and transparent. Strictly for the bold even with the 3Bar adjust discreetly on the inside.
I’ve been living in my three Gostwyck cut one tee’s for almost three years, but i’ve lost 25 lbs and they are becoming extremely faded so they are in dire need of retirement. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for alternatives? I’ve tried the UTF’s and the Mackenzies that came out but both are scratchy and irritate my skin. Thanks!
