Was sick of digging through the closet every time, decided to make use of some empty wall space in my basement/office. Took like 3 minutes and $8 worth of pants hangers from Target. Floor bag can’t get hung up as it has a weight plate in it 90% of the time
I have no idea what I did to deserve this, but I went to my local thrift store in town here this afternoon, obviously immediately walked to the bag-section and almost got a stroke when I saw the “Timbuk2”-label in a pile of computer bags and old backpacks. €3,50. Another almost-stroke. Obviously I took it in my embrace straight away. It is in perfect condition. Literally. Not a single tear, no damage at all, nothing. It’s like it just came straight out of the store. The universe blessed me today. I’ve wanted a Timbuk2 for ages, but could never afford one. Wow.
PLC 20 works pretty well as a slick diaper/dad bag. Snacks and water in the front. Diapers, wipes and changing pad with another can of snacks in the middle. Small items in zippers. Laptop sleeve for small treat bags. Alcohol spray and keys in the quick access 😎
The aisle sets are quite narrow underneath so I had to remove my water bottle but it fit fine and only sticks out a little. No issues from the gate agents or flight attendants. Perfect bag for a 3 day getaway trip.
First can i say how hard it is to pick just 1 bag to initially start one bag travel with. Yikes. So many YouTube videos watched lol.. This will be my first attempt at one bag travel or minimalist travel. My wife is using the tomtac t66 and myself the Allpa 28l. First impression are… I love the pack. Especially in all black. It feels really well made. It feels great on my back (empty). I hope to be able check back with great success in a few weeks when we leave for Vegas trip. I’m really excited to try one bag travel. Next on the list is searching for new socks and clothes.
Going for 4 weeks to Indonesia (Bali, Nusa Penida and Gilli T) and 1 week in Malaysia (Kuala and Langkawi). 1 week for work, 1 week with friends and wife and 3 weeks honeymoon. Definitely bringing way more than I should, but it fits pretty good in my Porter 30! Also trying the Daylite attachement for the first time (thought it would be something cool to have but meh)
I saw somebody else do this here a while back. It inspired me to buy the Osprey 26+6 for my next holiday.
Fast forward to my first Ryanair trip using the Osprey as a free “personal item”.
Here’s my photo. It’s basically the exact same photo as the other thread. Nothing groundbreaking here. But I think I packed more stuff into the bag as I seem to have less slack in the bag.
It fit the sizer absolutely perfectly in unexpanded mode. Maybe 0.5cm higher than the limit but I doubt they would have a problem with it.
No pic of the underseat, because I was sitting in the emergency aisle and I had to stow it above.
Also a photo of what was inside. Sorry it’s a bit disorganised, I don’t have the serial killer level of organization where every single sock is ironed and folded.
Quick review of the bag:
I bought it from ospreys official EU site. It was €100, but I signed up to their newsletter for a 10% discount. They also mentioned tuck away straps on the …
This is what I take for 4 weeks Japan. Cities, day hikes and visiting remote temples. I will remove some clothes that can be seen in picture (1 kaki short, 1 shirt, 1 polyester shirt). And I’m sure some pictures items are not on the list but this is what I take:
Main bag = 6,7 kg
Clothes: - 5x t shirt - 1x polyester shirt - 1x black longsleeve - 2x denim short - 2x flowy short - 1x swim/sport short - 1x long stretch jeans(?) - 1x long linnen pants - travel towel - travel hand/face towel - Shoes: Allbirds tree Runners - mid height hiking boots (Lowa) - Teva sandals original - 1x smartwool hiking socks - 2x Decathlon hiking socks - 3x other socks - underwear for 7x days (Lila cube) - Rain poncho Decathlon - Down jacket Uniqlo
Toiletries: - shampoo shower gel 2-in-1 - Small flask conditioner - Skincare - Medicine: paracetamol, loperamide (anti-diarea), blister plasters, tiger balm - Sunscreen - Aftersun gel - foldable tooth brush + paste
Miscellaneous: Lock Carbiner Elastic …
Examples:
Needing slippers “clean shoes” etc to be swapped to do otherwise basic every day activities like going to the gym etc when you could just oneshoe it any other place
Coverings for temples, tattoos, etc, etc
I’d assume there’s a lot more to list.
I get everywhere has its own rules but digressing any one bag tips that were helpful to navigate things like this would be useful without needing to run out and buy random stuff
I’m not one to complain about tags but I think they could use some more thought. I bought the index short sleeves in margarita and copperglow. Margarita swan tag looks really out of place. Do we need it when we already have nothingness tag? I tried removing it on the copperglow and it has holes in it now. If ppl ask me where I get my clothes from I’ll tell them outlier so maybe we go back to less intrusive tags?
The cheat code for hot and humid in a longsleeve form. A cool and dry ramie knit with a breezy openness that makes this a summer essential. Bulk buy eligible.
A compact jean-style jacket featuring matte black stainless steel shank buttons. Made in Manhattan using our Injected Linen fabric and the flawless intersection of openness and opaqueness it brings.

Abe, Tyler and Willie break down the new Injex Shank and Ramielust Longsleeve.
I have one pair of New Way Shorts and love them. They no longer fit me great (too big, so a good thing!) and so I’ve been waiting for over a year to get a new pair. Outlier doesn’t seem to be in a rush to replenish the stock and they have only had ugly, IMO, colors for a while. They even removed the gray ones from the website. So, I’m looking for alternative shorts from a different company. Has anyone found similar or better shorts elsewhere?
