    Love these packing demos! I really appreciate using the same stuff and putting them in the same box. Really drives home which will work better for a particular use-case. The Cabin Zero is the best if you are trying to get the most onto a strict airline!
  • @Trivski
    Damn this is actually all i needed to see, its not just word of mouth the box is perfect for insurance, thank you!
  • One of the best videos on travel bags I have seen. Your box is awesome as a reference. Great details about dimensions of bags in description area. Thank you for making this video!
  • Amazing demo !!!!! ❤This is the best video I've ever seen! You show us all the details we needed. From the comparison of other backpacks how much does it weigh etc. With other YouTubers I needed to see several different ones to realize it and I still had doubts. thank you so much .!
  • @lobbyrobby
    I ended up buying the cabin zero because of some of your videos and others. I don't fly much and didn't even know there was a personal item bag I could bring on with my carry-on. I really appreciate you took the time to build that box
  • @tsoukk13
    Extremely interesting video in order for us to comprehend the game of downsizing a carry on bag.one suggestion though,when you practice the"how it looks on me" section, don't do it in front of a dark font,the black bags don't help much.love the effort,keep up the good work!! greetings from Athens,Greece!
  • @kellymills8674
    Great content! What about using a larger size bag with less in it-Would this still work and fit in the box?
  • @timhell8420
    Hell Yeah, the Box ...... 🤘🤘🤘 Good Video ! I'm wondering If you ditch the towel Case in Future Videos....
  • @bocamax
    Great video series. I really wish you actually added a 13" laptop + power brick so we could see how much less space would be available for clothes. I think these days, greater than half of people travel with laptops. Especially when you are talking about people who are willing to spend $200 on one of these tiny bags. That group is most certainly going to be toting around a laptop in most instances.
  • Yes the Cotopaxi has packing cubes but they are not compression so not really a fair comparison. If you used the compression cubes in there I’m sure it would have been able to fit even more. 😋
  • @MrPookiexL3oi
    I have the Osprey Porter 30L w/ a 16' Ultrabook. Will it fit the luggage 🛅 bin if I don't over pack, I'm guessing it can if I squeeze it in. Thought's?
  • Do you feel the ULA dragonfly holds more than the Aer travel pack small? I have the first version of the aer bag and wondering if there’s a big difference between those two
