My perfect hip pack – fits wallet, keys, earbuds, pen, lip balm, eyedrops, powder + my phone. Every stitch still perfect, just some minimal wear on the water resistant coating under the U-lock holster on the back.

REI Ruck 40 (wife has a matching women’s bag in the cedar color) Ebags Slim Weekender Chrome Waterproof Sling Osprey Daylite Sling Ebags flat toiletry bag and packing cubes
Does the job for the amount of travel I do (3-4 small-medium length trips per year and 1 long trip every couple years). Never had a need for anything larger than a sling for daily use. Backpacks and messengers just feel cumbersome. The Chrome fits a 13 in MacBook Pro. Most days I carry the Osprey as I don’t need my laptop for work.
Dream set: Aer Travel Pack 3 and Travel Sling 2
I just received it today but my first impressions are excellent! I’ve tried several other slings & they don’t usually do it for me, due to odd dimensions, lack of organization, or other reasons, but this bag seems like it will change that.
It’s the perfect size to use as a sling, or as an organizer pouch inside a backpack. A variety of webbing placed around the pack allows you to carry it as a sling, waistpack, or a shoulder bag.
I’m very much looking forward to continued use & running this bag through its paces to post a thorough review later. I haven’t been this pumped about a product for a while!
It’s kinda gross.
Anti-microbial doesn’t mean a pass on general hygiene.
Onebag, not oneunderwear.
Especially for beginners, try living out of onebag while you are at home before your travels. You have way more room for failure and improvement and can tweak your bag each day. You will quickly learn what you need and what you don’t need. Even just a week or so will teach you a lot. Doing so has also helped me create a repertoire of every day carry items when not traveling that have actually been extremely convenient when out and about. Cause living in a city can be like travel in itself.
While others’ packing lists can be great inspo, people have different needs and lifestyles. I’d say check out some packing lists to create a template of sorts for your pack, and then create an at-home onebag out of stuff you already own. Don’t buy anything fancy yet. I wouldn’t even buy a new bag yet unless you already know the size requirements you need (like personal item, carry-on, etc…).
I’ve been vagabonding on and off for many years and just started …

Whenever I see packing lists for smaller bags, they often have merino shirts, compressing cubes, stuff like that. So I figured I’d share my setup what I used for 5 days in Copenhagen and what worked/didn’t work, without many of these travel gadgets :P I think for me 5 days is the maximum I can fit into this bag without doing laundry or making it less comfortable for myself.
Bag: Fjallraven Kanken 16L. I also had a small linnen bag but that was inside my bigger bag for most of the trip
Here are pictures of everything that fit into the bag (yep, it’s a lot!!)
CLOTHES (in an IKEA packing cube)
I am hopelessly in love with my Crystal deodorant. I know I know… SE Asia has been using crystal deo for hundreds of years, but 5 years ago it was new to me and it was love at first sight.
I forgot to wipe my pits with the rock yesterday and was reminded just how incredible this invention is. I have been using the same crystal for at least a year now and broke the container well before even making a dent in the crystal. Great news though, now its even more portable! Didn’t think that was possible. I wrapped a rubber band around the base to hold it and have officially reached pinnacle travel armpit protection.
There are only positive..
Years ago I would have thought this some sort of hippie dippy wellness BS. The science doesn’t lie though. I love you armpit rock!

I am genuinely curious how the collar feels in real person. Based on the on the photos it looks herrandeously huge.
Hello. I bought the Sportweight Merino Cut 2 to try last week. I think it’s a better t-shirt than UFT and other merino t-shirts.
But there is no color option. Does it come in different colors like UFT?
