Hi everyone! I would love to hear your tips to pack light for different occasions. For example, do you plan the exact outfit you’ll wear day by day and repeat a lot? Would you take more than 1 pair of shoes for a weak trip (plus one extra wearing at plane)?...
I’ve only had the pack a short while, but since it’s still quiet here I thought I’d share my first impressions. I think hip packs are a great way to keep your pockets empty and back unburdened....
I've recently become very interested in organizing with pouches, and I'm interested in knowing how others organize their one bag. I'll kick this off:
Eagle Creek Pack It Reveal Clean/Dirty cube - Medium
I use this for all my clothes, including socks and underwear.
Fjallraven High coast hip pack
This is my travel EDC pouch. It has my Ricoh camera, small charger, hand sanitizer, nanobag sling, IEMs, possibly a snack, and a mini ghost whale pouch.
Tom Binh HLT2
This holds all my knick knacks that I just access when I'm in my accommodations. Spare charger cable, comb, toothbrush, USB sticks, sewing kit, etc
Tom Binh QKit
Just a small pouch to carry small non-flat items like a european power converter, sea to summit hanger, etc
The aforementioned mini ghost whale pouch
This goes with me wherever I go when travelling, and even sometimes at home. It has:
Ibuprofen
Pepto Bismol
Tylenol
ADHD medications
spare battery for my camera
listerine strips
tiny astronaut pen
a small 2ml perfume spray thingy filled with water in case my clothes start clinging too much to me in dry environments
Shout wipes in case I drop some food on me
I just carry 1-2 doses of the meds in this pouch, so all the ibu, pepto, tylenol, and adhd meds barely take any space.
Ziploc bag
I put my special shampoo and hand sanitizer in this one to quickly take it out when I'm in the airport
I have a ton of slings, pouches, and cubes, but this is what I've settled on for long term travel. Other pouches I have:
Alpaka mini elements
Tom Binh HLT1
Tom Binh Clear 3D organizer cube
Evergoods CAP1
Evergoods CAP2
Evergoods CAS2
But I now value weight over almost anything else, so most of these are either unnecessary, or too heavy for what they offer.
Anyone else settled on a good system for organizing their loadout?
I’m a onebag hype machine and exclusive Apollo user. After June 30 Reddit will be dead to me, and I just couldn't bear missing out on bag chatter. I hope you’ll come over, and maybe seed the community with your previous posts and content so its not back on reddit, or worse, straight up deleted like many users are already...
Any thoughts on the new Evergoods packing cube? The versatility of it fitting in bags in different ways sounds good, but in the end it only really matters if it fits in your specific bag, I guess.
