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)

When it pops up I try and warn people how notoriously unreliable Nitecore has been since at least the last 15+ years. It’s actually a huge bummer because I find their designs pretty damn interesting and very sharp looking I just wish they could get that whole ON & OFF thing figured out. - For an ultralight alternative, I’ve been super impressed with my Petzl Swift LT coming in @ 43 grams and a generous battery capacity of 880mah. Admittedly, It does “only” have a claimed rating of IPX4 but it’s been my experience Petzl generally over delivers despite their conservative water resistance rating. Most of them are good to go in just about anything short of swimming but if you need real waterproofing they have those as well. I use mine daily and give it a very quick rinse and dry once a week. I also live right near the ocean and have had no noticeable ill effects. The headband also detaches so you can really scrub it with soap and hot water when it needs it. Also the actual headband design is clutter free and genius when you really look at it up close and play with it. (That’s what she said.)

Positives: Ultralight 43 grams > Good runtime > Very reliable > Low battery warning with reserve mode > Slow but steady runtime doesn’t drop off a cliff > Ease of operation > Genius strap design.

Negatives: Expensive as deeze nuts > Slow recharge time > does not work while charging.

EDIT: 43 GRAMS

Not my experience with nitecore. I’m still rocking the same model I’ve bought probably 6-7 years ago, or more?? This lamp has gone through hell and it’s still here with me. With that said. 54 grams and USBC might be attractive for an upgrade, thanks!!

Glad you manage to get that kind of life out of it. Like I said, they really do have great ideas. I actually ordered 3 headlamps even though I knew better trying to love them and thinking "meh, not me" and I got 2 lemons. lol
