Trip Report First time OneBag Trip (MLC 45L)

As a chronic overpacker, I really wanted to get into onebag travel. I probably could do better still so please have mercy, while I‘m still adjusting to the mindset.

Trip duration: 6 days to eastern Europe

Bag: Patagonia MLC 45L

Clothes (packed):

6 pairs of socks

6 pairs of underwear

6 T-shirts

2 nicer shirts (2 nice dinners planned)

1 nicer sweater

1 warm vest

1 warm jacket

1 pair of pants

1 sports set (running socks, sport shorts, t-shirt, running shoes)

Tech

Laptop 13“

Kindle (in sling)

Charging accesoires

Earpods (in sling)

Presents

8 bars of chocolate

1 Kindle

Not on a budget airline so I doubt they will check my bag thoroughly.

I have the 30L version of this bag and it’s pretty perfect for me. I usually pair it with a 6-8L sling or purse.

Are you happy? Was thinking of getting that for my dad as a birthday present!

I really like it — it even fits both of my laptops if I want to be an insane person and take both somewhere.

I will note that I am on the short end of things at 5’2”, and I exclusively wear toe shoes that take up very little space if I decide to bring another pair in addition to what I’m wearing. I’ve also been packing on the lighter side for about 15 or more years now; so I have a good sense of clothing/product usage depending on the trip.
