Hey everyone,
I got into /r/onebag recently and I’m learning a lot as well as improving here and there.
Basically I’m looking to improve my tech stuff next but I’m all turned around by the sheer number of tech organisers out there. I pretty much always carry what you can see in the photograph.
Can you recommend a tech organiser bag for me?
It should also fit a smallish power bank as well as a travel adapter (not pictured).
I’m in Europe (EU) btw!
Hi guys :)After reading quite a few posts regarding packing, bag space, bag size etc. I’ve noticed that a lot of people recommend to buy things once you get there (e.g. shampoo, soap, toiletries). I don’t quite understand the point unless it keeps your carry-on/personal item backpack under the weight limit. Cause at the end of the day if I buy it at my destination I will still carry it around with me, my bag isn’t gonna be less empty or weigh less after flying. That’s additional costs and time. Am I missing something?
EDIT: I don’t mean it in a judgy way, I’m literally just asking. So many ways of packing and everyone’s choosing their own individual “right” way.
EDIT 2: For everyone wondering as well: I now understand that those comments mostly refer to
1 - people staying at one place for longer and don’t have to pack it in their bag to go from A to B. 2- people traveling for a longer period wanting full size bottles that …
I notice that a lot of people only travel with one pair of shoes?
I’ve been on the road for 4 years. 3 of those years were with a 21L GR0. I’ve never traveled with less than 2 pairs of shoes and one pair of flip flops.
Currently I am in S America, and I have 4 pairs of shoes and one pair of hiking sandals.
It seems to me that a lot of people overpack clothing, but really limit themselves with their shoe choices.
At the end of the day, multiple pairs of properly chosen shoes offer MUCH more versitilty than any extra clothing you can pack, and if you are to live out of a backpack you might as well be as efficient as you can.
A few years ago I spent 5 months travelling around south East Asia. This is all I packed:
Clothing: 3 t-shirts, 2 tank tops, 1 pair of jean shorts, 1 pair of boardshorts, 1 sweater, belt, sunglasses, flip flops, 1 pair of sneakers, 5 pairs of briefs, 2 prs of socks
Toiletries: toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, hair product
Other: 1 book (changed throughout the trip as I finished and donated each), phone, charger, headphones, wallet, passport, 2 bandanas, powerbank
No, this isn’t *THAT* post asking why we should use packing cubes, I’m sold on having at least some of my stuff in cubes, I even have one makeshift cube that I found at work (not designed for this, but ULTRA durable (read: heavy/stiff)) and have enjoyed having it.
Recently I tried to find some good packing cubes and noticed the following:

I tried to give three different fits to help show the sizing on the Jacket.

Off the Bat: Shoutout to the Outlier crew for the review piece and huge thank you to the Discord for the recommendation.
I’m 6’-1”, 205lb with 35.5” arms and wearing a Large in Dark Olive
Personal History:
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster a Type III jacket that wasn’t dark wash denim. I picked up the 320 Shank when it dropped, and I liked it a lot (which you can read about here). I later assumed ownership of a Duck Shank which I immediately fell in love with but does have a few downsides, most notably that it’s near impossible to pack or travel with.
Materials: It’s Bombtwill. It’s great. It keeps you clean. If you …
I’ll be honest: I didn’t think these pants were going to be for me.
Probably like a lot of folks on this sub, I used to wear Carharrt Work Pants as an everyday pant; but today they fit neither my style nor my preference for fine performance fabrics. (These days I wear my Carharrts only when actually doing work on the house or in the yard.) So, I figured that, while I love bombtwill, I wouldn’t find these pants sophisticated or sleek or edgy enough for everyday wear, especially at a $225 price point. Boy was I wrong.
I decided to order them to try them out because of all the hype. I’m keeping them for three reasons:
A painter’s pant in our tough-as-fuck but secretly soft Bombtwill fabric. Eight pockets in total including a slanted cargo pocket on the wearer’s left, and of course a carpenter’s loop for who knows what in these times.
Has anybody tried out this pouch that would care to share their experience?
​
I wonder if a non-experiment use of this system would ever be produced. I passed because of the price and I’ve been kicking myself ever since… Haven’t seen any on the market to try myself.
All, longtime lurker, I’ve got some v hot/humid business travel coming up. What would you recommend from the current lineup? Currently leaning towards the futureslims, but want some opinions. Thank you!
Curious is there are any plans for this to return or has it been replaced by the futurecore warmshirt?
