I’ve seen so many posts of people traveling for weeks with just 1 pair of pants and maybe 2 pieces of underwear. Having met people in real life who have done this:
Don’t. We can smell you.
That’s all.
Did you know if anyone mentions Chuyen Tactical on the Carryology group, their comments gets removed instantly. Anyway there’s an old post about this on here, but I came across this comment by one of the admins of Carryology group explaining why CT is banned on the FB group but didn’t want to share specifically what. Does anyone know what the gossip is?
My dad sent this pic to me today to let me know that he is finally replacing his daypack with the Osprey Talon. As far back as I can remember he has used this LLBean bag and it will remain as a family memory on the wall in our den for years to come.
In his own words “Old Blue has retired after 50 years of service. That pack has been everywhere. I bought the L.L. Bean pack in the fall of 1975. I was a freshman at Castleton State College It served me well. One of the best made products I have ever owned.”
Hey everyone,
I always see posts here about successful onebag adventures, so I thought I’d share my total failure at it haha.
Last week, my wife and I went on a 4-day trip to London. We’re both into minimalist travel, so I packed what I thought was perfect: 3 t-shirts, 2 pants, 4 underwear, 1 pajama and 4 socks (each one of us had these items)
Everything fit nicely into my Tomtoc T67 backpack (~34L), and off we went. Felt proud.
Then came day two.
I got hit hard by a fever. Goosebumps, body aches, pounding headache. But the worst part? Nighttime. I was sweating buckets while also freezing. I ended up going through all three t-shirts in a single night, trying to layer and stay dry/warm.
I washed them in the sink, but of course, they didn’t dry fast enough (only had ~3 hours before needing them again). So the next day, I had to go out and buy: 2 more t-shirts, 2 more underwear, 2 more pairs of socks
It was ridiculous — I was sweating so much at night the bed felt damp. My …
Long story short: I went on a road trip with my girlfriend from Southern to Northern Europe. Since we had the car, I figured I might as well pack everything “just in case”. Well we ended up getting bed bugs bites during our 3-4 nights stay at an Airbnb, and now I’m back home having to sanitize a ridiculous amount of stuff: 3-4 pairs of shoes each, 3 jackets each, and tons of “just in case” items we never even used because I’m paranoid I’ll get my house infested. If I had stuck to a one-bag setup and maybe one extra jacket for cold weather, this would’ve been so much easier. Lesson learned: always be onebagging.
I’ve enjoyed onebagging for years, my trusty Osprey 26+ was good for me. Earlier this year after doing my research I picked up my ULA Dragonfly 36l after many great comments here. I’ve been very happy with it.
Coming home yesterday after a fantastic stay in Vegas, not a gambler but went for Dead & Co at the Sphere, my 1st leg was to LAX, then to the east coast. I was exhausted and the United flight was packed. We get about 1⁄2 way full and the gate person announces the overheads are completely full and everyone has to gate check. Oh damn, I was flying into BWI and it’s always a slow slow baggage claim, I’m talking at the least 30 minutes. Being tired and my wife picking me up, I was bummed.
I get to the ticket scan lady and she looks at my backpack and says “Oh you should have no issue, go ahead and carry that on”. I think “NICE”, however I’m in an aisle and the under seat is usually narrower then the other 2 seats, so I …

A pleated short experiment [#527] in the open yet opaque Injected Linen fabric. Shank front with single outward facing pleats on each side.
Just picked up a pair of injex highdarts, and the seams in the legs protrude out almost half an inch. When I walk, they brush back and forth against my upper inner thighs, causing irritation.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or have tips for how to solve it? They’re beautiful pants, and the fabric is otherwise amazing, so I’d hate to return them, but I can’t imagine how I’d feel after a whole day walking.
