Hi all.
Finally getting around to sharing my FAK. I think I generally glance over it in my packing lists, but thought I’d take the time to put it in detail.
The general idea of this is a bunch of little things that will get me out of trouble for a short period of time - so, for nothing too serious, but good to have ‘at hand’. These are the things I’ve tend to use / need over my travels.
I keep it in a Chums wallet, which I bought a couple of years ago. I used to just take it in a resealable sandwich bag, but I wanted something a little more robust.
replace anything I use after a trip, and also take the time to look over it at the end of a trip, and before setting off on another one, to make sure everything is okay.
NB: I may well edit this post for formatting and clarity, so apologies ahead for any changes. At time of posting, just going from left to right column in pic.
So I’ve actually only just realized this place exists.. and as a chronically lazy individual that doesn’t like carrying many bags I felt like I should share my bag/experiences traveling with one bag. I feel like a lot of posts (even though I’m enjoying them thoroughly mind you) read like a min/max approach to a video game where you get the best in slot item across the board. Now while I thank the author’s and contributors for substantially lengthening my Xmas list this year, I thought perhaps I could illustrate that the most important thing having one bag allows you to do is to get out there and enjoy. So without further delay I will list everything I’ve been shlepping around for the last few months used, unused, and redundant. As well as the reasons, or truthfully lack there of, as to why I brought them.
In a loose L-R order:
1.My Grandfather’s flannel - who knew everyone in South America already had the exact same jacket. 2. Amazon basics packing …
At what point do you typically raise an eyebrow at people’s attempts at minmaxxing their one-bag approach?
I’ve seen everything here from people talking about “disposable clothes” (wearing socks with holes in them that can’t be donated lol) to owning nothing but healing crystals. Curious what others think.
First time one bagging on a solo trip. Going to participate in the Florence marathon so the gear takes up a lot of space :( and the weather is colder than what I’m used so I’m packing warm.

Experiment 411 - Deepgrid Cottolinen Towel
A deeper linen (+cotton) towel experiment. Linen for that “precise dry” feeling and long hang life. Cotton for that extra plushness and easy washing. Woven in deep waffle pattern to maximize surface area and dry speed. At 330gsm it is 65% heavier than our Grid Linen towels but much lighter than most cotton terry towels.
It’s a holiday shortened week here in New York, but that doesn’t stop us from diving deeper into the grid with a brand new home-optimized towel experiment.

We’re usually pretty hesitant to call things the best, the best is hella subjective, but we’ve been confident calling our Grid Linen Towels the best damn beach towels for years. Between the lightweight compactness, the quick drying and the sand shedding they are fantastic outdoor towels. Indoors they get a lot more contentious though. Weight and portability aren’t really a factor in the comfort of your own home and while some people genuinely prefer the precision drying feel you get with linen, big fluffy cotton towels certainly can be pretty nice too. Our brand new Deepgrid Cottolinen fabric takes that classic Grid Linen performance and brings it back home to create something just right. Well that’s the hypothesis at least, this is the test: Experiment …
Just a qq. I used to usually only ever buy the skinny abc warpstreme pants from lulu lemon and love them. A lot of slim fit pants tend to be a lot baggier on me too. I’m wondering if the slim dungarees or futuredarts would be more up my alley? Looking to buy a couple pairs.
Is the Cut one or Cut two closer to the UFT when there was no option in cut? I failed to find this via search here. Thanks
Just wondering if anybody has purchased this hat and has any feedback? How is the sizing? Is it soft? Any itchiness with the wool? How is durability? Is it pretty thick/warm? Thanks for your thoughts!
