I have watched A LOT of minimalist packing videos and this one has got to be one of the best. Great video, thank you!

Your list is good and can help people slim down. For our family, we agree on how many outfits we are packing to coordinate laundry days. Also importantly, we pack power banks, travel pillows that fit us better and clean, slip-on slippers for hotel or beach. We also pack enough sundries for the length of trip, extra baggies and at least a couple of kitchen size 13gal trash bags. We don't have to spend time shopping to refill and end up with multiple large bottles. If going to a more remote destination where shops take a lot more time to reach or abroad where language barrier could be a problem, we take a first aid kit with substantially more meds including cough drops. Adds more weight and bulk but reduces hassle and improves our comfort while in transport

In a pinch, have your heaviest clothes on and place heavy items such as batteries and chargers in them. Much better to just follow this advice and travel lighter.

Great video. No fluff or bs, straight to the point. Nice work.

Clothes and laptop are the two things that can really become a pitfall. I weighed my work laptop and power cords for two cell phones (one for the country I'm based in and one for the one my family is in), and that added 2.5kg to anything I carry, which means it goes straight into my personal item. Clothing can weigh a lot... I have the Hynes Eagle pack you reviewed which is 1.2kg (almost as light as you can go) but a jean jacket weighs 500g and a pair of heels (ladies size 6) is another 500g. Your tip about cottons vs. synthetics is gold, and for ladies I'd add that anything with a lot of gathers (more fabric) can add exponentially to weight. Also, agree that around 30 litres is as much as it's possible to pack with 7kg - fill up a 40L pack with clothing and it's guaranteed to go over. The other thing about post-pandemic packing is sanitizers and wipes, downsizing from a 50-wipe pack to travel size saved a bunch of weight too.

one of the best “how-to” videos I’ve seen, thank you

I use a Porter 46L and you're right it's super easy to overpack and get into trouble... I use a scale as well which helps a lot. If I know i'm going on one of those crazy airlines that do the 7kg check (fortunately not too many of them) then I usually will wear a lot of my stuff. So my goal weight for my pack is 9kg (20 lbs) with the knowledge that I can offload 2kg of it in case I need to.

My biggest weight item is my laptop at 3.5 lb, now if I can find a harness that I can strap the laptop to my back and wear my jacket over that it would be splendid since I can lighten my pack a lot!! So far I have not found anything like it... still looking :)

This is the best minimalist packing list that I have seen! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[monicasahu]

Minimalism is a mindset. Loving this video (and audio), unusually soothing. Can you make one video for the Pandemic Era style packing? A lot has changed this year. I haven't travelled since a year so can't fathom what all people need now than how much easier it was before.

[govindhramamoorthy]

This video is absolute gold. Was searching for exactly this info.

[Raul-lcgh]

Pretty impressive. Thanks for the lightweight backpack recommendations!

[sarahschrock]

Great video. I give this link to anyone trying to learn to pack extra light.

[PackingLess]

Great concise video and some quality product recommendations!

[CometFire]

7kg? You are totally qualified for cabin baggage limit by most asian budget flights. Kudos 👍

[Zaino.In.Spalla]

HI. In Italy we say "Viaggiare Zaino In Spalla" 😊... I also think this is the best way to travel the world. In short: lightness, money saving, time saving ✈🎒

[kevod]

Thats very cool and useful for overhead, thanks. just a quick question, could you also take lets say a small 3 or 4 litre hip/waist/over shoulder type pack with out extra baggage charge ?? Thanks again., 😊👍

[h.paulchan]

❤❤❤love it, detailed and minimalist haha

[ToriLoverly]

I was surprised that you didn't weigh the pack at the end, you had the scale right there🥺why???

[graveeezord]

Love this kind of videos keep doing this kind of stuff! BTW, Would you rather bring lightweight cubes for toiletries / electronics and have them less protected or something more sturdy like the Peak design tech / wash pouch and have everything more protected even though they might be heavier?

[lbunnygordon]

For menot possible as need to carry meds for longterm plus extra warm clothes as asthmaticso would use 2 x carry on 1 25l 1 30 l weigh in as 1 kg empty for both rewatched now and decided to give 1 30l a go ..love my little digital scale to weigh bag too. Cabinmax 30l way forward for me 0.6kg!!
