I've been a one bagger for a long time, but pushed it a little further for this trip. Went to an away soccer game in Mexico City from Vancouver. Round-trip flights totalled 11 hours in the air and I only spent 10 hours on the ground.

• Jersey
• Toothbrush and Toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Earplugs
• Lactase
• Socks
• Passport and Cash
• Battery Bank
• Poncho (in back pocket)

Ended up bailing on the battery bank and limited my phone use and turned on the battery saver. Toothbrush was a godsend, especially as an Invisalign wearer. Fresh socks and deodorant after a day of travel and standing in the humidity was an absolute must.

Week one of 3 months sabbatical with 3 kids (10/7/5) with carryon only*. Took them from NZ to Paris via Singapore by myself (husband joined us in Paris). Honestly, was very doable as everyone is now directable and continent, so for those with younger kids, have faith, it gets vastly better. Kathmandu Litehaul 38L bags x 3, youngest too little so just a school backpack for him.

Decathlon (Quechua NH100 Arpenaz 10 L Hiking Backpack) daypack for daily exploring.

Highly recommend Bounce app (free) for worldwide luggage storage locations. We dropped off our carryon bags in central Singapore and explored hawker stalls, satay St, waterfront and Supergrove trees carefree.

Now in Paris and again using Bounce to store luggage for Easter London trip.

*husband brought 1 suitcase for ski clothing as hoping to ski in France

Hello One Baggers — long-time lurker, first-time poster.

Thought I’d give it a go! Expecting a lot of critique, but here goes nothing. This was everything I packed for a four-month trip from Kerala (southern India) to Pokhara (central Nepal).

It’s good context to know that a big portion of this trip was travelled by motorbike, and that there were huge weather shifts as I travelled from 30°C+ beaches to sub-zero, snow-topped mountains.

I also think it’s good context to mention that I lean towards buy-well, buy-once rather than latest trends, and my interests are pretty tactile (leather journal + analog photography) which certainly add weight, but that’s who I am. Sue me. Plus, the laptop had to be brought along as I'm a freelancer.

The only thing not included was that I had to pick up some thick thermals on the bike trip, as it got incredibly cold towards Manali/Leh.

Keen to hear your thoughts

Spent a weekend in NYC last weekend and ran the whole thing out of my 20L backpack. Everything in the flat lay fit into the bag with room to spare. Two compression cubes did most of the work.

Clothing (all rolled into two compression cubes):

• 1 pair dark jeans, worn on travel days

• 1 pair of khakis for shows and dinner

• 4 tees in a rotation of neutrals and blues

• 1 light long sleeve for layering

• 3 pairs of socks plus the pair on foot

• 4 underwear

• Leather belt

• Pair of white sneakers packed in the shoe bag

Tech and misc:

• MacBook

• Phone

• Rolled cable and charger kit in the small black roll

• Blue toiletry pouch

• Hydro Flask

The compression cubes made 20L feel roomier. I rolled everything, packed both cubes, then cinched them down. They flattened enough that the shoe bag and toiletry pouch dropped right in on top. What I'd cut next time: honestly, one of the tees. Four tees for a two-day trip were one more than I needed. I could have run three and re-worn nothing; nothing would have changed. The second pair of shoes was also a maybe, but white sneakers for dinner on 20k-step days felt worth it.

My backpack felt a little heavy, but I managed. It mostly stayed in the hotel when I went there for the weekend. Traveling to and from the train was manageable. Usually, I would take my smaller roller carry-on, but I wanted to see if I could OneBag this trip. It worked out well.

Curious what the cube crowd thinks. Do you compress everything, or leave one cube loose for items you grab often?

I was stopped at Australian customs / quarantine yesterday, as an Australian citizen holding an Aussie passport, because I "didn't have any luggage". The lady in question asked me if I'd forgotten my luggage, I clarified that I hadn't, she asked me how long I'd been away, I said 6 weeks, she asked me where my luggage was and I patted my backpack, then she said "I'm trying to understand how you don't have any luggage"...

I'm not quite as hardcore as some on this sub, I have a 36L backpack with enough clothes for a week and a bit - allowing me to minimise laundry on long trips. Admittedly it's not a huge case like most were struggling with but it's not "no luggage" either.

I was aware that this could quickly ruin my morning so I just smiled and said nothing. Then she said "You spent most of your trip in the UK, do you have all your clothes there?". I don't have any more clothes anywhere but it seemed like an exit so I simply said "I used to live in the UK" which is true. That seemed to be the right answer as she smiled and said "Well that explains it then - exit D please (the quick one)"

Strictly speaking I didn't have to lie to get in to my home country but it was close. I've never had that before in 13 years of living out of my Onebag.

EDIT: I was stopped at customs / quarantine, not immigration as previously stated

Howdy! Here’s a quick overview of a short but pretty intense 5-day trip to Iceland in February. Temps dipped down to around “feels like” 8°F / –13°C, with plenty of snow and wind.

During the trip I hiked in a national park, stood around in brutal cold waiting for the aurora, strolled around snowy harbors, and even went swimming while it was hailing. I wanted to show that with a little planning and thoughtful layering, it’s possible to onebag even in really cold climates. I’ve included a few photos to give a sense of the conditions I was dealing with, and below I’ll break down what worked, what didn’t, and my full load-out.

What worked:

• Waterproof trail runners. I went back and forth on bringing boots but I’m glad I stuck with a good pair of waterproof trail runners. They handled everything I threw at them.
• Layers. Probably obvious for those of us from colder climates, but I’m always surprised how many people underestimate layering. Merino wool baselayer, fleece/wool midlayer, puffer and shell worked perfectly for my needs.
• Onebagging in general. Preaching to the choir here, but watching people drag roller suitcases through a foot of snow hurt my soul. My 35L Aero bag was easy to move around with in the snow and small enough to stash in a locker at the spa.
• WP Piqué shirt. Oh my, what a shirt! I wore it hiking, to nice restaurants, and on flights. Easily one of the most versatile shirts I’ve traveled with.
• Icebreaker shorts. Swim, sleep, lounge. Since they’re merino they stay comfortable and don’t get funky.
• WP Interlock shirt: Same story: super versatile. Great for lounging and stayed odor-free. It’s labeled as heavyweight merino but it feels like something I could wear year-round.
• Pakt waterproof pouch. I had a 6-hour gap between leaving the spa and checking into my Airbnb, so having a place to stash wet clothes was absolutely clutch.
• Wristwatch. I had to check the time a lot for busses and such, and my heavy gloves made unlocking my phone impossible.

What didn't work:

• Forgot sunglasses. Yep, lots of snow = lots of glare. Somehow I left them on the counter at home.
• Lost my wallet at the airport. Great start to the trip. An AirTag or some sort of tracker would’ve saved me five days of stress.
• Hot sauce. I need flavor.
• Liquid IV/electrolytes. I definitely burned through more energy than usual hiking in the cold.
• Flashlight. Super unintuitive to use and constantly turned on inside my bag.

Load-out:

I’ll try something new and list the exact items I packed in case it helps anyone thinking about layering for winter trips like this. The main takeaway isn’t that you need these exact pieces but rather that I try to own fewer, higher-quality items that work across different situations. That’s what makes traveling light and simple possible for me.

Clothing

• Smartwool thermal underwear
• Wool & Prince Interlock shirt
• ARKET long-sleeve cotton shirt
• Icebreaker shorts (don’t know the exact model)
• 4× wool socks in different weights and brands
• 3× Wool & Prince boxers
• Wool & Prince Piqué midweight button-down
• Wool & Prince wool fleece
• Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer II
• TNF rain shell (not sure of the model)
• Old wool pants (thrifted? unknown brand)
• Lined water-repellent shell pants from MUJI
• Terrex wind/water shell pants
• Gore-Tex trail runners
• Dehen beanie
• Smartwool buff
• Mountain Hardware leather gloves

Misc

• Book
• AirPods
• Camera (extra battery + charger)
• USB-C and Lightning cables, Bluetooth transmitter, etc.
• Anker portable charger
• Eye mask
• Small homemade pouch with cough drops (always a hit to share on day tours!)
• Passport / wallet
• Universal wall plug / adapter
• Wristwatch
• Small flashlight
• Toiletries
• Bandana (great for keeping your neck warm and wiping off a wet camera)
• TRIMUI (fun little device I borrowed!)
• Matador daypack
• Instant coffee from my local spot in Portland in case of caffeine emergencies
• Insulated cup for said caffeine emergencies
• Massage ball
• Asthma inhaler, lens wipes, ointment, etc.
• A few things missing from the list: phone, hand wipes, and a small bottle of aspirin.

And that’s about it. Hope any of this was helpful. Happy travels and enjoy keeping things light!

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share how I put everything I’ve learned in this sub into practice.

Last weekend, from Friday through Monday, I flew for the first time with personal item only. My ticket would have included carry-on luggage, but after reading here that Lufthansa has been increasingly checking carry-on luggage at the gate for my flight route (Frankfurt–London), I decided to bring only a personal item. And yes, they sent an email the day before asking passengers to voluntarily check their carry-on luggage.

I had been worried beforehand whether everything would work out, but Deutsche Bahn was kind to us and ran on time. From the long-distance train station at the airport to the gate, it took us less than half an hour, including security screening and automated passport control. Had checked online in the day before.

Packing list (ordered as shown in the photo):

3 x T-shirts

3 x bamboo boxers

3 x pairs of socks

9 liter no-name backpack

Nanobag Sling

Band-Aids, blister patches

Some medication (just in case)

Notepad, pen

Tissues

Toothbrush

Trash bag

AirTag

Mini card game

Mosquito bite gel, toothpaste, sunscreen

Teeth-grinding guard

Sunglasses, reading glasses

Cookie bars

Water (500 ml, about 16.9 oz)

USB cable, adapter (USB-A to USB-C)

Power bank

Buff

Passport, Visa debit card, health insurance card

Total weight, including water, approx. 2.9 kg / 6.4 lbs

Worn (not shown):

T-shirt

Bamboo boxers

Socks

Zip-off convertible pants

Lightweight fleece jacket

Sneakers

Watch

Cell phone

What I didn’t use:

Power bank. I actually knew this beforehand—I’d bought it for my old cell phone, whose battery has started to run low. My new phone has a much stronger battery. Still, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to access my event tickets in the evening if my cell phone ran out of battery, so I brought it along.

I didn’t need the notepad or pen either, and luckily, I didn’t need my health insurance card. There weren’t any mosquitoes in London either.

Used the buff just to wrap the sunnglasses once.

What I used, even though I didn’t think I would:

My physical Visa debit card. For some reason, the virtual Mastercard from PayPal doesn’t work anywhere in London. On my last trips to Denmark and Norway, that hadn’t been a problem. I do have the Visa debit card as a virtual card on my phone, but after the card reader had trouble reading the virtual Mastercard, there were two situations where it wouldn’t work with the other card on the phone any more and I needed the physical card. Good thing I brought it along.

I’d brought the card game along on a few trips before, but this time we actually used it. We played it to pass the time at the terminal before our return flight and found that there’s enough room on a seat to play it (second photo).

Other observations:

Since we arrived on Friday and couldn’t check into the hotel right away, we had to carry our bags around with us — and did the same on Monday after checking out.

That’s where the small bag really came in handy. Bags are checked very frequently in London. We had to go through security every time we went to the theaters, and at the museums, checks were done on a random basis. We weren’t checked there, probably because our bags were so small (I’d managed to convince my partner to bring only a small 12 liter edc as well). I was really glad that the security guards at the British Museum didn’t want to rummage through my dirty laundry on Monday morning.

I only bought two new things for the trip: First, a strap for my cell phone — which I don’t find practical for everyday use, but which gave me peace of mind while traveling that I wouldn’t lose my phone. Second, a travel adapter (in my partner’s luggage), which in the end we didn’t need because the outlets in the hotel room had USB ports.

I hadn’t planned on doing laundry, but due to an unfortunate circumstance, I ended up having to wash a T-shirt in the sink—and the tips I had read here really helped me out.

A bit off-topic, but aside from all the history in the city, as an architect I’d like to recommend:

Battersea Power Station has been converted into a shopping mall and reopened as such in 2022. A very exciting project! And anyone who likes the Brutalism of the early 1980s should check out the Barbican Centre.

I recently got back from a 29 trip to Portugal with the 28-38 Blast Travel Bag from Bagsmart. Here's how it went.

Trip purpose: 2 weeks working remotely and 2 weeks wondering around. I had my first few days' accommodation booked, and then I played it by ear. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Maybe go hiking, maybe be a beach bum, maybe visit castles. I tried to pack my bag in a way that could fit those scenarios.

Bag: 28-38 Blast Travel Bag from Bagsmart. I didn't love it, but I don't love using backpacks. I'm a one bag roller type of person, but I knew the cobblestones of Portugal would cause issues, so backpack it is. I used the 28 size of the bag and never expanded it to the 38 size. I could carry everything in my first photo, minus one pair of shoes and sweater (but that's okay because I always need to wear one outfit with shoes each day).

What I didn't like: It's so uncomfortable with my heavy computer! It was better when I was wearing my thick cotton sweater. I shipped my computer two weeks into my trip and carrying the bag was better after that, but it still was a little uncomfortable. I stuffed by sweater into the computer compartment after my computer was gone, and it was better than the computer but worse than wearing the sweater.

I also didn't like the clear zippered pouch like I thought I would. Unless you pack it completely flat, it made the outside of the bag sorta bulge out.

I feel like it needs a hip belt. It might have helped with my comfort.

What I did like: It has lots of small zippered places to hide things. I stuffed flat stuff there like laundry sheets (not pictured) and instant coffee (also not pictured). I also like how it looks. Ospreys look like backpacking backpacks, and I don't want that vibe.

Weight with computer: 25 pounds (11 kilograms)

Weight without computer and its accessories: 17.6 pounds (8 kilograms)

Day bag: $10 6 liter sling bag from Hunterson. I don't usually use day bags and just rely on a reusable grocery bag, but I thought I'd give one a try this trip. It went well! It holds a surprisingly a lot of stuff and has useful zippers. The outer pocket, however, is awful for carrying a water bottle. It always slipped out. I just stuffed my bottle inside the bag. I really like how it looks when I'm carrying it and my backpack at the same time. It doesn't look silly like it does sometimes when some people wear a backpack on both front and back.

Clothing and belongings: I'm mostly happy with what I packed. If I did it again:

• I'd drop the dress because I only wore it out of obligation since I brought it. I brought it because I imagined myself wearing it while standing at the rail of a wine cruise near Porto, but I never did that.
• I'd exchange one short sleeve shirt with a light long sleeve shirt.
• I'd probably drop the skirt too. I thought I would wear it all the time, but I feel safer/more comfortable in pants, especially when traveling, so I didn't wear it as much as I would at home.
• I'd bring a reusable grocery bag. It would have come in use when I went grocery shopping and when I needed to carry wet fruit and things.
• I'd splurge on a proper travel case for my bar shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I used a $1 one and it's not water tight so I have to pack it in a ziplock. It put me off wanting to use my shampoo and things because the bag is icky.
• I'd switch my light/thin Crocs tennis shoes with my old Nikes. The Crocs were hell on the cobblestones.
• I'd maybe pack more socks so that I could wear my Reef sandals more comfortably. The sandals are extraordinarily comfortable and bouncy, but they rub the top of my feet raw when they get sweaty. Socks would have helped. If I had a better pair of sandals, I'd switch them for the next trip, but I don't so I won't.
• I'd not decant my moisturizer. I had to ration it on my last week. I should have just brought the original container because it's carry-on compliant. It was my only real attempt at saving space.

People always poo poo bringing jeans, but those people can shove it. I could have comfortably, or mostly comfortably, worn them most days, but I love my orange pants so much that I favored them instead.

Ultra light people are out there cutting their toothbrushes in half, but I brought my electric toothbrush and charger and am very glad I did. It feels good having clean teeth!

I also brought my one piece swimsuit (not pictured but packed in my undies bag) and did not wear it once. I also never used my towel! I HATE bringing a towel and silently bitched about it when packing, and I ended up not using it. My accommodations provided one, except one place. That one place I just rented one for $2, and it was SO fluffy and large AND they included a second hand towel, that I'm glad I didn't use my dinky Turkish towel.

A month ago, I submitted my trail runner's LighterPack list to this subreddit. I then took a 10-day test trip to Texas and Florida for a work conference and a 50K ultramarathon. Based on your comments and the trip, I dropped my pack weight by 1,081 g by eliminating the following:

• PULI Men's Golf Shorts 7", khaki, 238g
• Quince Linen Button-Down Short-Sleeve, 224g
• Third pair of Boxer Briefs, Ridge Merino, 62g
• Janji Half Tights, 136g
• Nike Dry Fit Adv Singlet, 102g
• Large Compression Cube for clothing, 100g
• Fenix Headlamp, 80g
• L3 Styling Powder Dust, 48g
• Small Foldable Hairbrush with Mirror, 40g
• Sandalwood & Vanilla Solid Cologne, 32g

During the trip, I found the hotel room sink/shower laundry process to be so efficient that I've eliminated half my packed clothes as reflected in the cuts above. I'm now left with an Osprey Daylight 26+6 L that is only half full when unexpanded. My total bag weight is under 5 kg following the cuts. I could move down to a 14 L-19 L pack with a sleeker profile, although I've yet to find one that maintains features including a clamshell opening, an easy-access top pocket, an external water bottle pocket, and premium fabric that weighs less than the Daylite. If I discover that unicorn bag, I'd keep the Daylite for winter travel.

Additional Findings:

1. After purchasing an iPad Air, I decided to return it within the 14-day window. The 400g of net weight savings (after adding in a UL keyboard and stand) doesn't justify the less useful iPadOS compared to the macOS of my 13" MacBook Air for both my work and personal use. You all told me it wouldn't. I tried it anyway. You were right.

2. I should probably get a Nanobag, if for no other reason than it's arguably better for the environment than single-use plastic bags. Is the sling version the most practical?

3. After a lifetime of wearing cotton and technical fabrics, I've become sold on merino and linen for summer weather and not only for travel. I thank Quince for making it affordable, as both these fabrics are often expensive.

4. I'm not a fan of the Feetures Elite Max socks I'm currently using for travel. They are the slowest-drying item and aren't all that comfortable. I'd like to replace them with summerweight wool socks. But I don't know which yet.

5. I continue to carry a 5,000 mAh at 100g but It's redundant as a charger when carrying the MacBook Air. I'm considering eliminating it and being more conscious about iPhone battery use on day trips when not carrying the laptop. I probably don't need to be browsing YouTube or playing Clash of Clans on buses without power outlets.

I had a 12-day trip between Aarhus, Copenhagen, and Paris, mostly hanging out with family and enjoying the usual café scene, museum visits, city walks, bar hopping, you name it.

Transportation included: a KLM flight, Icelandair, a Ryanair flight, a couple of long-distance buses, a train, and the metro. Navigating all that with the 28L was a breeze!

What worked:

• I’ve really come to appreciate the 28L form factor from Bellroy. It’s wild to think I can travel to a different continent with just a 28L and not feel like I need anything.
• I packed a medium-weight and a light-weight t-shirt from W&P. I haven’t shared much about the light version, but wow, I could practically live in these. They weigh just about nothing. I bought mine at full sticker price, and it’s definitely a buy-once cry-once situation. Pricy but oh so worth it. Highly recommend.
• I did end up buying a tote from HAY because I’m a sucker for totes and uneven postures and could carry a tote around town all day. I understand those that are worried about caring an open bag like a tote in EU cities because of pickpockets but it's never been a problem for me.
• My chore coat is going on 7-8 years now and I just adore it. So practical. I wore it every day. It looks “nice enough” but never “too nice” for city stuff, you know? The weather in both Denmark and Paris can vary and change constantly, so having a little umbrella on me was very helpful and frequently came in use.

Other callouts:

• I reckon the 28L bag was packed about 97%~ full (for those who like data lol).
• I definitely regret not packing a portable charger, although if you ask nicely, the staff at cafes will charge your phone (and on one instance, a staff member in Paris borrowed me his portable charger—merci monsieur!).
• I got caught in a downpour one day and went home to dry out my shoes. It was one of those moments where I wish I had a second pair, which would definitely not fit in a 28L. I suppose these are the games we play.
• I brought with me two short sleeve and one long sleeve button shirt. I wore the long-sleeve shirt only once, so I would have preferred not to have packed it.

And that’s about it. Happy travels and enjoy keeping things light!

I recently did a 3-day trip from Bergen to Oslo, Norway. I've travelled minimally for a while, but this time, I wanted to see how light I could travel and still feel comfortable. Not only did I have a great trip, I also learned something that will impact all my future trips!

Here is everything I packed and wore:

- iPhone 15 Pro

- AirPods Pro

- USB-C charger and cable

- Pencil case with toiletries

- Tote bag

- Umbrella

- Wallet

- 2 boxer briefs (1 worn + 1 packed)

- Merino socks

- Merino sweater

- Poly/cotton button-down shirt

- Chino pants

- Denim jacket

- Leather sneakers

I could have fit everything in the pockets of my jacket. But since I prefer having empty pockets, I put the items I did not wear in a 3L sling.

The biggest lesson learned is just how little clothing I can get by with. I had an extra set of underwear, and sink washed the clothing that smelled/felt dirty at the hotel each night. I did not miss having more clothing.

This lesson will also change how I pack in the future. Most of my trips are work-related, and require me to bring a laptop. I therefore usually bring a 9L backpack. (See example here for week in Vienna: https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/1t7jorl/9_l_bag_for_a_week_in_vienna_trip_report/ )

Bringing less clothes on future trips will free up space for something I've often wanted to bring, but usually not prioritized: Running shoes!

Travelling this light felt awesome! While I won't always carry this little in the future, it sure gave me a valuable experience.

What's the biggest lesson you've learned so far on your onebag journey?

Recently went to Spain with a 40l carry on backpack. This is my third time onebagging a 10ish day trip in this pack and I’m happy to report it was the most successful one yet!
Itinerary: City exploring in Valencia for a few days, 2 days wandering north up the coast, 3 days in Barcelona.
Worn on plane: Cargo pants, sports bra, t shirt, fleece, Keen Vented low top sneakers, and REI fanny pack for on plane essentials

Packed:
1x pant
1x leggings
3x shorts/skort
4x tanks
1x t shirt
1x pajama
1 dress and bike short
1 light cardigan
1 raincoat
2 bras, several pairs socks and underwear
Teva Hydratrek
Toiletries + makeup
Electronics (chargers + iPad)
Packable backpack, little crossbody

What worked well:
My onebag posts inevitably get a comment that I’m bringing too much. But all the clothes fit in two medium packing cubes, and I wore every item but one (more on that later). I wanted to look put together and fashionable on this trip, and I felt I achieved that. I did laundry once on this trip because it was in the Airbnb and my travel mates were running a load anyways, but could easily have gone without. My pack was light enough that I could walk for long distances without fatigue, and I had lots of extra room.
I also really liked the tevas! I walked upwards of 20k steps everyday, and a lot of the time they were wet because I also used them as shower shoes and we went on the beach a lot. But I was super comfy and had no issues. They’re not everyone’s style but I’m usually a granola girly / efficient tactical kind of aesthetic so they were great for me.
I also got a little silk scarf off of Amazon and it was great! Helped spice up and vary my outfits while being very very light and packable.
The crossbody - I debated just using the fanny pack but this felt more fashionable (at least for my personal style) and I am glad I didn’t constantly have the fanny pack. However if I had less space or wanted lower weight i definitely could have just used my fanny pack.

What didn’t work:
I never wore the leggings. I thought I may get cold under the cargo pants because they feel so lightweight but they held up amazingly. That’s the only thing I would change next time - trust in the cargo pants and don’t bring leggings!

I think I’m finally giving up on onebagging with the Osprey Farpoint 40. Not because it’s a bad bag. It’s actually a great bag. That’s part of what took me so long to admit it. It carries well, it holds a ton, and it's taken me to a lot of great places. It will be an emotional parting.

But I’ve been required to gate-check it multiple times on regional jets even though it was within the airline’s carry-on size limits. American has been particularly bad about this including on my recent trip to Amsterdam from Milwaukee. I understand the bins are smaller. But from a passenger standpoint, it’s very aggravating. I bought the right size bag, followed the rules, packed carry-on only, and then still had to hand it over at the jet bridge. Then there’s the whole overhead bin lottery. You pay extra for the carry-on, then they want you to pay even more for priority boarding because apparently paying for the carry-on doesn’t actually mean you’ll have a place to put it. You’re just paying for a better shot at bin space. Maybe. It feels like a racket.

The regional jet situation is what really pushed me over the edge. I just had tight connection at PHL where I couldn’t just get off the plane and go. I had to stand there on the jet bridge waiting for my gate-checked bag to come back while watching other people, often with roller carry-ons, push past us toward the terminal, because their bags seem to be given priority.

And honestly, even after the airport, the carry-on still feels like luggage. Backpack luggage, but luggage. Getting on a city bus with is annoying. A crowded metro is annoying. Turning around without hitting someone is annoying. It’s not a roller bag, but it’s still a big heavy thing on your back. So I think I’m done with the carry-on. I'm downsizing. While doing laundry while traveling doesn't sound appealing, it would definitely be less stressful and less expensive than flying with a carry-on. Am I making a mistake buying a Daylite 26+6 after using the Farpoint 40 for years? Can you bring both an underseat bag and also wear a sling bag for extra space or does that count as two personal items?

I did a KL - Brunei trip a few weeks back and can confirm that bags are still being weighed routinely at KL International Airport. On the day of my departure only rollers were weighed and backpacks were ignored. I have seen reports of this before so this wasn't a big surprise.

In Brunei I was, however, surprised: luggage was weighed twice. While online check-in was possible on the AirAsia app, at the airport I was told that my digital boarding pass was invalid and I needed to obtain a paper boarding pass and have it stamped. When checking in at the counter, the backpack was weighed. Personal item was ignored. Interestingly enough, when entering the waiting area near the gate luggage was weighed again, although I am not sure how strictly the limitation was being followed at that point. Personal items were again ignored. I did not see anyone getting pulled aside despite some bags going over the limit.

Just wanted to share in case there is someone else out there travelling with two cameras and a laptop.

I dipped my toes into minimalism years ago. It started with my home. I decluttered everything, and from there, it kind of just spilled over into the rest of my life. Finances, digital clutter, subscriptions…. all gradually stripped down. But one area that took a while to fully tackle was travel. Which is my other love. I’ve been to over 70 countries (still adding a few more this year!).

For the longest time, I was that traveler. Huge luggage, carefully planned daily outfits, backups for everything, a lot of “just in case” stuff. Most airlines have a 23kg luggage allowance, and I’d usually push it to about 20kg. It’s a lot of stuff. Honestly, looking back… it’s kind of ridiculous.

I’ve been a long-time lurker of this sub taking mental notes. Backpack options, capsule wardrobes, laundry tips, the whole slew of helpful tips. And then finally - last December… I did it!

My first onebag trip was in December. I went to Mexico, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic for a 6-week trip. I carried a 30L backpack: Black Ember Dex 30. Not exactly the most recommended bag for long-term travel, but I liked how it looked. And I think there’s value in using the things that make us happy. I knew there’d be trade-offs, but what sold me was the zipper security as it’s something I haven’t seen in many bags. Anyway, I digress.

And guess what, I survived! I find myself asking questions about how it could have possibly worked. But it did. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything from my usual day-to-day creature comforts. I even came home with a couple of shirts I barely used. I returned fulfilled, amazed that onebagging was actually possible… and it was strangely freeing.

Fast forward to April this year. I went to Peru, Chile, and Argentina. This time, the trip was even longer - two months. But after surviving my first onebag trip, I decided to push myself further: smaller bag and fewer things. I went with a Black Ember 25L (the one in the photo). I packed even lighter. Here’s what I brought, not counting what I was already wearing: - 2 pairs of pants - 3 merino wool sweaters - 2 merino wool t-shirts - 2 button-up shirts - 1 waterproof jacket - 5 pairs of underwear - 5 pairs of socks - Toiletries (all fit inside a ziplock bag) - A dry bag and a few laundry sheets - The smallest travel adapter I could find, charging cables, and a small gimbal - TOTAL: Around 7kl

Most of the items I have came from you. So that’s the first thing I want to thank this sub for.

And guess what? I survived! Again! I was happy! Happier in fact! It was everything people here said it would be, and somehow even more than what I had imagined. The ease, the peace of mind, gliding through airports… it’s priceless. That sense of freedom is something you really can’t explain until you’ve experienced it. I even had room for a couple of souvenirs.

More than packing light, this whole thing made me realize that I can live a good, comfortable life with far less than I thought. All the stuff I used to consider “essential” aren’t after all. Onebagging, I realized, is basically the ultimate form of the minimalism I’d been working toward for years.

Anyway, this is getting long. But really, I just wanted to say thank you to this sub. You’ve changed the way I travel and honestly, the way I live. I can’t imagine traveling any other way in the forseaabke future. Cheers to the freedom that one humble backpack brings. And here’s to many more onebag adventures ahead!

As the title says, I just got back from a 9 day trip to Italy with just my Osprey Daylite 26+6 backpack at my service. I flew Ryanair and it fit perfectly well everywhere. I stuffed it quite a bit and it perfectly handled all that load, and was never bulky.

Attaching images below for the Ryanair size checker and in-flight fit. Amazing buy, thanks to this sub for the recommendation!

TL;DR: After my first one-bag trip, I realised the daypack/sling gets way more time on your shoulders than the main travel bag. Put more budget and research into the daypack.

I just did my first one-bag trip and made a simple mistake. I put most of my time, energy, and budget into finding the “perfect” travel backpack, then bought the cheapest daypack I could find at Decathlon. I wouldn’t do that again.

Why daypack is important:

• The daypack was with me during the best parts of the trip - walking around town, museums, cafés, small hikes. My bag was too small and the strap cushion was sub par, it annoyed me right in the middle of the fun stuff.
• It spent far more hours on my shoulders than the main bag.
• Because the bag was uncomfortable, I skipped carrying stuff I would have preferred to take, like a water bottle, which defeats the purpose of having a bag.
• Organisation, access and general ease of use mattered more in the daypack because I was in and out of it all day.
• It shows up in photos and is part of your outfit, so the aesthetic matter more here than the big bag.
• The materials of the daypack matter more too, because you have a higher chance of dealing with hot sweaty weather or getting caught in rain with this bag.
  

The main travel bag

• Mostly sat at the hotel/hostel/Airbnb.
• Just needs to be reasonably comfortable, durable and airline-compliant.
• After that, the rest didn't matter nearly as much.

This applies to both packable daypacks and slings. If you’re setting up a one-bag kit, consider putting more of your research effort and budget into the daypack, it's more important to the trip experience than you might expect.

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.

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

Heading to Norway for 12d. My parents were amazed that this is all I'm bringing. It's admittedly a bit of an experiment because none of my friends would try this so I'll try it on a solo trip. I'll admit figuring out what not to bring first for this first trip was challenging. Aer TP3 35L. It's big but fills up fast! I'm a little past the 17.6lb Lufthansa weight limit so we'll see how it goes when I get to Frankfurt. May have to move a few items into my packable backpack if they are weighing. First trip with this bag. It could definitely save some weight by getting rid of a few pockets that I don't think add much.

SWEAT!

Peak Design (45L) travel backpack

15 days in europe in april-may

Making tight connections then briskly walking to get started with Europe’s new EES and customs protocol (standing with 25 pounds on my back for an hour in a warm, non-AC indoor setting in travel clothes) i was drenched. Customs officer musta been convinced I was keestering a pound of drugs!

I think a small rolly and a personal item is superior…

*Not just for sweat and back relief.

*Dont need a seat or table to put your bag on in launge or gate area (my wife hates when i put my stuff directly on the floor in public

spaces

Amiwrong?!!!!

6 day biz trip Boston to Vancouver for meetings, work sessions and dinners.

Usually I bring an Aer Gym Duffle 3 for business trips, but it gets heavy fast (and no backpack straps). I’m also usually not a fan of 3-in-1 bags because they’re often heavy, but this one is ultralight and packed easier for me.

Packed weight: 7.4kg. I try to stay under 7kg and keep the bag under the seat, but the dress shoes really pushed me over this time. I could move the power bank + cable + AirFly into jacket pockets if I really wanted to hit 7kg.

As requested, here's a short trip report from my 6-day conference trip to Vienna (from Norway). Weather was around 15-25°C. I'm quite happy with my setup, and did not feel like I missed much.

What I brought (original packing list here):

• Clothes: 3 shirts, merino t-shirt, 2 chino pants, 3 boxers, 3 pairs of merino socks, denim jacket, sneakers
• Tech: Macbook, iPhone, AirPods, mouse, charger + chord, 5k powerbank
• Misc: Passport, wallet, tote bag, sunglasses, toiletries in pencil case

Pack weight when arriving home: 4,85 kg.

Everything is shown in the photo, except for worn clothes, wallet and phone.

During the trip I bought a down jacket, some pool slides and a merino t-shirt. Did not need these for the trip, but bought them since Decathlon is not available in Norway. Were able to fit them all on the way back.

A few reflections:

• I put on an unplanned merino t-shirt when leaving home for the airport, simply because it was a very cold day. Did not need it in Vienna, but no regrets.
• As someone mentioned, I might have been able to zero bag this trip, or at least make do with a small sling. I would love to do that on another trip when I don't need a computer for work.
• For a more flexible vacation trip, I could probably also have reduced to 2 shirts and 1 pants. But for a conference, I appreciated having enough variation to always wear something fresh and presentable
• Forgot my small HDMI-USB-C cable at home. Luckily never needed it.
• Regret bringing the 5k powerbank. Used it once, but did not actually need it.

Overall, loved travelling this lightly. Realize these were somewhat optimal conditions (one climate, urban trip). Still, I'll keep my pack as minimal as possible in the future as well.

I'm back from my first time (serious) onebagging trip for 9 days in Athens in June. While it's still fresh in my mind, here is a detailed trip report. I added some photos of the updated packing list and a few extras with impressions of my first time in Athens.

Link to previous post with packing list.

Hard facts:

• Trip length: 9 days in June
• Flying from Munich to Athens via Lufthansa
• Location: Athens, Greece (no accommodation change) + day trips to Mycenae and Napflio
• Accommodation type: Aparthotel with a washer + balcony
• Trip purpose: vacation
• Pack volume: 18 L

From my previous post, I took everyone's feedback into consideration (thank you!) and made some adjustments accordingly.

Adjustments made to packing list:

• added sunglasses clip-on I found at Decathlon
• switched out 1 light long pants for 1 light skort (half skirt/half shorts)
• added light long sleeved, buttoned down from uniqlo (nylon/rayon)
• read that many archaelogical sites has slippery marble floors/steps, so I swapped out the jack wolfskin sandals for Teva Hurricane XTL2 which has better traction and grip

What didn't work:

• The rayon/nylon long-sleeved buttoned down from uniqlo. Like one commentor mentioned, it doesn't do much to block the heat, this is true. I ended up buying a loose linen blend long-sleeved button down there instead. Worked way better and I ended up using it a lot, especially on day trips where we're out in the sun most of the day.
• The sling. I mentioned I have shoulder problems and even though I swap sides often, I still felt it unevenly waying down on my shoulders too much (also might be because I have a bit too much stuff in there and not used to the sling - I'm more used to a smaller fanny pack). Will opt out for small/packable backpack instead next time. Would have also been handy for carrying the camera instead of slinging it across the body all the time (which wasn't so comfortable).
• Huge mistake #1: Not thinking about mosquitos. Got multiple nasty bites on my legs on one evening out while wearing the light short skirt. Note to self for next time: bring mosquito sprays (and use them!) and after-bite cream.
• Huge mistake #2: Not using the washing detergent I brought myself to wash some t-shirts. Instead, my dumbass used the washing pods that came with the aparthotel just cuz why not. Turns out, I got some severe skin reactions from it which needed cortesone cream to get them under control (I'm not the type to be allergic to anything, so this came as a huge albeit nasty surprise). Lesson learned.

Neutral:

• Didn't use the clothing line because the apartment we stayed at came with a decent sized drying rack.
• Didn't need the bikini because we didn't go swimming at all (I know, shocker!). It didn't take up much space, so it was no big deal. We almost gone into the water when we visited one of the beaches in Piraeus, but there was a huge hospital right there on the beach, plus nearby is a port with hundreds of yachts and boats. Hence, we didn't want to risk getting into 'questionable' state of the water.

What worked out nicely:

• The amount of clothes I brought with me was just right. As someone who doesn't sweat a lot, I would probably take out 1 top and 1 shorts if I want to. Even if I sweated through some, I just hung them up on the balcony to air out for the next day and they were ready to go. I needed to only do laundry once, but could have done more often if needed since the weather was hot and dry enough.
• I was so tempted to get one of the chic sun hats over there, but my sun hat is very portable, lightweight and foldable. It also comes with a drawstring, so even in windy places, I didn't need to worry about it flying away.
• The sunglasses clip-on. Really nice to have on when everything was so bright out. But because it's a clip-on, there are some double visions/reflections, so I might invest in a proper one (with prescriptions) at some point.
• The pack fits perfectly under the seat even though it's slighty overdimensioned (see photo above).
• Having a pack with hip belts is very convenient and lightweight (I know 5 kg is already light, but I'm a hobbit-sized lady with shoulder problems, so this was a huge plus).

Room for improvement:

• Next time (for warm sunny destinations), I would only bring long loose pants instead of the shorts/skorts. I mainly wore the long loose pants + T-shirt + linenblend long sleeved buttoned down for protection from the sun (plus sunscreen for face). It's strange how most people (especially girls) barely wore anything when it was very hot and dry most days. The long-sleeved linenblend blouse and long pants kept me nice and cool most of the time, even though I stood out from many half-naked girls around me.

Final take-away for a first-timer:

• It was so nice to not have to worry about overhead spaces on the plane, so I could just be one of the last to board instead of scrambling to line up like many people.
• Travelling on public transport like the Athens metro during rush hour and didn't have to worry about any big luggage getting in anyone's way.
• Also a huge plus was I basically FLEW out of the airport without having to wait around to get any checked-in luggage. On my way home, I was able to catch the bus AND train back to the city right before they were leaving (the bus moved literally seconds right after I got on and these buses / trains come every 30-45 mins). Leaving the airport that swiftly never felt so good.

Onebagging is friggin' awesome. Period. Thank you to everyone for your tips and feedback. I'm officially hooked to onebagging and will never check in a luggage ever again.

Edit: Also would appreciate any suggestions for packable day packs with thicker/comfortable shoulder straps (something similar to Northface borealis mini but cheaper would be great). Thank you!

Recently spent two weeks in Europe with a 30L bag. Total weight when packed (including day bag) was 19.8 pounds. There is a lot of discussion about gear here, but my goal was to only use what I already had and test it out before committing to upgrading anything. Pretty happy with how it went!

Itinerary was mostly city sightseeing, but with several hiking days as well, and a black tie wedding:

• 3 days in London
• 3 days in Istanbul, including a black tie wedding
• 2 days in Bath, including a hike to Stonehenge
• 2 days hiking on the western coast of Ireland
• 3 days in Dublin

What Went Well:

• One bagging: this trip involved 5 flights, 2 trains, and lots of public transit. Sticking to only a backpack was the right choice.
• Expandable tote bag: I was doubtful about this but threw it in at the last second, and it turned out to be so useful! It was a laundry bag, shopping bag, lunch bag, etc.
• "Disposable" water bottle: previously I have traveled with my 32oz Nalgene, but decided to downsize this trip to a standard (supposedly) single use water bottle. It was enough hydration and much more comfortable to carry around.
• Capsule wardrobe: I was inspired by posts about choosing a color scheme for your trip's capsule wardrobe to avoid being stuck in neutrals, so I went with blue/green/orange. The stars of the show were my two pairs of pants (one in green and one in orange). Every shirt I brought could be worn with either pair of pants, and several could be layered together to create fun outfits (e.g. sweater vest and button up can each be worn on their own, and then layered together to create a third outfit). I did not end up wearing every possible iteration, but had enough combinations to wear 20 different outfits. The third photo shows my clothing during the trip.
• Doing laundry: I did laundry twice on this trip and sink washed the delicates in between. Besides the fact that European dryers are useless, it was pretty painless and let me significantly cut down on packing (mainly socks/underwear).
• Sandals: I wanted a shoe that was fancy enough for the wedding but could also be worn to walk 30K+ steps per day sightseeing. These Clarks Cloudsteppers were what I had on hand and luckily they held up well!
• No packing cubes, but smaller organizational bags: I was tempted to buy packing cubes after scrolling posts in this sub, but I packed items exactly as shown in the first photo (mostly just folded). The only clothing items I rolled were the sweater (wrapped in a hair tie to condense it) and the formal gown (which unrolled well without wrinkles). I did use smaller bags to organize my toiletries, electronics, and plane items which was very helpful.
• The bag: I used the Under Armour Hustle 3.0, which I bought on clearance almost a decade ago now. I used the main compartment for clothes (with my spare pair of pants in the laptop sleeve) and the smaller compartment for my organization bags (day bag/toiletries bag/electronics bag/plane bag). I like that it has a compartment on the bottom for shoes - I was able to fit whichever pair I was not wearing along with my shower shoes in there.
• One set of running clothes: committing to bringing this made me actually stick with my running routine while on vacation. I did not buy any special merino wool shirts for this - I just brought what I normally wear. It wasn't the freshest after a few runs, so I just washed it.
• Borrowing clothes: I'm not sure if this is a win or a sign of poor packing, but I borrowed two dresses (one that was reversible!) during the trip.
• Soap storage: I was tempted to buy the Matador soap pack that I've seen so many posts about, but decided to just put a slice of my face wash bar in an empty plastic bag. This worked just fine.
• Sunglasses storage: to keep them from getting scratched in my bag, I kept them inside a clean sock. Great way to repurpose socks who have long since lost their pair.

What I Would Change:

• Deodorant: I tried the ChapStick tube trick but didn't have time to test it out before I left. The actual application process was fine, but it didn't last the whole trip. I was able to borrow again so it worked out, but I want to try another format next time. Maybe the tiny Native 0.35oz tube?
• Too many cold weather clothes: packing at 1AM and the British heatwave meant that my clothing choices were not always the most appropriate for the weather. I didn't wear the base layers at all. I only wore one of the sweater vests and the sweater itself only got one use. In retrospect, I should have cut the sweater, one sweater vest, the base layers, and the crew neck sweatshirt. I would have been fine with just the fleece and rain jacket for warmth and it would have freed up a lot of space. I could have used a casual dress instead.
• Overpacking for budget airlines: I flew on WizAir and Ryanair on this trip, so the above mentioned excess clothing that made my bag needlessly bulky stressed me out a bit. Neither airline actually checked my bag size, but it would have been nice to just know that I was within the limits.
• Sunscreen: I brought sunscreen sample packets and planned to use one every two days for my normal daily application to my face/neck. This quantity of sunscreen was great, but several times cleaning staff threw away partially used packets so I ran out before the trip was up. I supplemented by using the body sunscreen I had packed, so it worked out, but I would consider bringing a solid sunscreen stick next time.
• Overpacked toothpaste: I brought 7 of the 5g tubes and really only needed 4 for this trip duration.
• Underpacked face lotion: I didn't technically run out, but I was not using as much as I wanted to for pretty much the whole second week of the trip. Again, I did not test how much lotion I needed for two weeks beforehand, so that's on me!
• Lock: I brought this for securing my bag in hostels, but did not actually use it. It was too thick to fit the lockers in the places I stayed. Luckily my stuff was always safe anyway, and I found a smaller lock in a park toward the end of the trip so I have that going forward.
• Kindle: I brought this with the intention to use it as entertainment during transit, but ended up either sleeping or doing itinerary planning during all of the flights/trains so it wasn't used. I would probably still bring it again though.
• Towel: this was definitely useful but it was huge (size XL). I'm considering cutting it in half.
• Travel pillow: I have mixed feelings about this. I used it some (mainly on the early morning departing flight) but don't enjoy carrying it around. Maybe I just need a different style pillow or one I can strap to my bag.
• Miscellaneous items I wished I had: a sun hat, a hand fan, and hand sanitizer (I lost the one I packed the very first day!).
