    Cool to read it on reddit and then watch it here :)
  • @anomalily
    With regards to the plastic bags- i know a lot of travelers that swear by the stasher silicone ziploc bags. you can microwave and Sous vide cook in them! Good for other things, too.
  • @wabeebe
    Some good ideas. My wife and I plan on doing slow travel in a couple of years and leaving the US for good. We will take a carry on suitcase and ebag motherlode. We will need a little more as we will not be coming back. I would love to have a Google Fi plan but I understand if you are out of the US for a year they cut the plan. Hoping in a few years they will expand the plan.
  • @anomalily
    I don’t know why I watched this when it popped up as i already know how to one bag travel and my next trip is to Lapland πŸ˜‚ but I am Croatian and I love your packing Videos. Very calming.
  • @jgsk78
    Man you're so you my alley, trail gloves, zero sandals, backpacks πŸ˜†!!!
  • @MrJed_s
    Love the idea of taking some pigs!
  • @m0cheeze
    THANKS for the great video. what size heroclip is that? which size is your favorite? thinking about getting one
  • @MRetoastet
    Great video. I already have most of the things you mentioned and they work great. I have one question. Your lightweight rain jacket... in the video it's a Patagonia but in your description you stated it's an Outdoor Research Helium II. Which model is the Patagonia one?
  • Would love to see your review of scrubba vs standard dry bag vs sink stopper for laundry. Big difference in weight and cost and I wonder if it would be worth it...
  • @ADawn
    I don't know how you did it. I usually carry 36 to 42 l, even if it's just a week.
  • @jgsk78
    Hey buy why extra packable backpack if your main bag is only 24l?
  • I have traveled to 9 countries. I quit washing clothes with soap. I use Baking Soda. A small amount of soda and water will clean clothing, rinse out well, deoderizes and sanitizes. I also use it for brushing my teeth.
  • @SiXiS4
    if you want to see croatia properly you need a car /motorbike
