How many liters is your go-to travel bag? 🎒🤔

Great stuff! I wish I'd had this information before my world tour in 1995. My bag was almost as tall as I am. And my friend bought 8 ceramic bowls at our first stop in London. I thought she'd shipped them home, but no, she still had them at our last stop in Italy 2 weeks later! "Pack light" was never something I understood until I found this channel.

Pack sunglasses to clean sock... when you are coming back that same sock can act like a hard case for same sunglasses.

Perfect timing! I'm about to do my first one bag trip in over 18 months! My bag is 6x13×17 to stay within the personal item size. Packing for 5 days of late fall Canadian weather. It's going to be great!

I noticed that most of your TSA videos are geared toward young able bodied travelers. My husband and I are in our late 60's. He has to have wheelchair assist when traveling, plus he has to travel with his box of medications which have to be in his backpack to store under seat. It is a fumbling, living nightmare for me to traverse through TSA PRE-CHECK, or worse, regular TSA because pre-check isn't available sometimes. I have to put his stuff in bins as well as mine, then try to stuff it all back in afterwards because they rush us so fast.

Any handy tips for us older travelers. I'd love to get some recommendations for complicated travelers in wheelchairs, or using crutches or physically challenged from disability or strokes.

I find these videos interesting every time you guys do them because some of the tips that you guys give are the exact opposite of what I choose. Not that there's a wrong way to one bag travel or anything but I generally prefer bags that don't look like squares because they typically scream I have everything I own in my bag and a more traditional looking backpack screams this is just my Daypack nothing to see here. It's not perfect but I like the aesthetic better and I feel like I stand out a lot less to pick pockets. I also prefer bags that are not clamshell-style because I found that most of them because the zipper goes across the bottom of your bag they tend to sag weirdly, even if you pack strategically. I had one once and while it was a great bag, I always had to pack it a little funky to get it to carry comfortably and the second I put a tablet in the front pocket, all my careful weight distribution didn't really matter.

I'll be going on my first one bag solo travel next year thanks to your videos. Keep the great content coming! 😊

So pleased you managed to do away with the sunglasses bag. Big saving🤣

Love the channel, im working on packing my whole life into 1 bag and getting back out in the world. Great stuff...Got the Nomad 20l because of your review and still looking around.

Love it

I am using the Osprey Farpoint 40 but sometimes I feel like I am filling it up too much. It is comfortable and also the hip belt strap helps to not carry all the weight on the shoulders. I usually use it for trips from 2 days to 25 days. I like the quality it has, although perhaps there is a better backpack.

@2:55 what are all these cubes ... This is so beautifully organized

[extraordinaryfate]

i hope you can have same concept but it's on women side 🙏🙏🙏👍🏼😁but still your videos are informative and useful ❤️❤️❤️

[ThexImperfectionist]

I have to admit that I'm watching this entirely out of morbid curiosity. I love traveling but you won't catch me one-bagging it anytime soon. I don't travel light but I travel happy. :)

[ChowDownDetroit]

I needed this info. Thanks! I hate traveling with multiple bags.

[BenPicton]

Love Huckberry! Their new Go Ruck bag and article about one bag travel opened my eyes to that world and I soon found your channel. 👍

[JanvierSoldat]

Had a surreal moment staring at that MAS logo wondering why it was so familiar!

[aravindvinayakan]

Great video, random question! What watch are you wearing, Tom?

[BenjaminCutting]

As always, appreciate this SO much! 🙌🏻🎒

Hi guys, I am planning to travel trough Europe for a month with a backpack. Any suggestions for a backpack to take with me also put on board of Ryanair ?

[wgkimmel]

The condor centurion duffel has been my go to. Great, extremely durable bag
