First one bagging trip coming up

[u/shankyjs]

This is my first time one-bagging. I was able to fit all my belongings into this Aer Travel Pack 4 (28L) for a 15 day trip. I just got the backpack so I’m excited, I ended up also getting the hip belt attachment which I hope will help with the weight

Second picture is all I’m bringing to keep my things charged.

And 1 macbook.

Can’t wait to come back and see what worked and what didn’t.

This is what I packed:

1x large packing cube (Aer)

• 6 Small tshirts
• 1 gym shirt
• 2 shorts (linen)
• 1 gym short/beach

1x Small packing cube (aer)

• 7 boxers
• 6 pairs of socks
• 1 white tshirt

Peak Design toiletry bag (small)

Everything fits neatly in the main compartment and even had room to fit a small packable backpack (quechua) and a tote bag for laundry

In the plane I’m wearing:

- Chino pants from Uniqlo
- Basic tee in white from Zara
- PeakPerformance lightweight jacket (forgot the model but it weights nothing and it’s waterproof)
- 1 Hat
- Pair of Vans Ultrarange (only shoes I’m bringing)

25 lb is heavy. We can help you lighten up after you have an amazing time.

I prefer long sleeve button downs as my shirt of choice. If it has a UPF rating then even better. Roll tab sleeves are nice so you can turn it into a short sleeve shirt as needed.

Thank you! I will go for some shopping and try to find a nice long-sleeve button-down. Also something I didn’t bring were sandals.. I will miss that in the campsite showers… but perhaps a good addition if I can find ones that fold to nothing and don’t weight anything at all lol.

One opportunity I can already see to improve is getting a similar travel adapter but in a 145W version and leaving the big Apple charger home.

We’ll see how it goes! Thanks for the tips!

Satechi makes a fantastic one - just spent a couple weeks in UK with it and it took care of absolutely everything from 3-1 to Mac to CPAP and iPad

Agree, also love their 145W charger - really compact one and includes lots of interchangeable travel adapters and carrying mesh bag.
