This definitely has an old school chase video vibe. I miss your longer form vids.
Still philosophical, but somehow more realistic now. I’m okay with that, though. That’s where I’m at in life too. Less “Life’s full of amazing things. Get after it, with as little drag as possible!” And more “Life is hard and shitty sometimes. Don’t make it harder on yourself than it needs to be. Invest in and cherish the things that matter. Discard the rest.”
Totally agree :-)
Yes 🎉🎉🎉 you said it perfectly!
Yes
Yup
“I hope you fall in love, I hope you get your heart broken” that’s it right there, without those two, life is not fully lived. Thanks for that, Chase!
My mom’s in the hospital and I was able to listen to this while driving home and dreaming of a trip. So wonderful to listen to someone who brings so much personal perspective to the travel experience. The gear is just a catalyst, not the end-all-be-all. Thank you for sharing and all that you do for us travel freaks.
Traveling with soap is helpful for when you go on that Danube River day cruise like I just did today in Budapest and there was no toilet paper or soap and we were about to eat finger sandwiches. That’s where the flushable wipes and a little liquid soap can make all the difference.
Populate that gut biome, bruh! Jk
This is such a freaking GOOOOD video man. Just last night, I was on the fence about taking a weekend trip to So Cal to check out see friends and check out Palm Springs. After watching your video, I can’t believe I even hesitated for a second lol it’s a one hour flight, the flights are on sale, I can one-bag it, and it’s just a no-brainer. This video was so impactful. I love your longer videos. There are so many incredible nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout. Much love. Much appreciated.
Quick thing re: the importance of sunglasses: it’s important to both protect your eyes and get some sun exposure! The latter may support mental health, while the former is important for preserving vision (e.g., preventing macular degeneration). No intention to be a party pooper (and of course take this with a grain of salt and a google search), just advocating for folks to do what works best for them.
For me the ideal set up is a 28 - 32 l bag with my 2.5 L moment sling.
If you can manage one-bag concept, the freedom you have is really liberating. (The travel guru, Rick Steves is a big proponent of this.) I used to use 45L size bag, but now I travel with smaller, say Tom Bihn Synapse 25, for , say, a 10-day trip to Europe. With no heavy items in it, I can go the whole day walking around with the entire bag with no problem. No worrying about finding a luggage storage facility and all the hassle. One thing I noticed in many reviews, though, is that many travel bags offer small organizational pockets and many reviewers show them putting things like passport, phone, wallet, keys, etc. as an example of use for them. I never put any valuables like that in a backpack. Many backpacks offer lockable zippers for the main compartment but not those pockets. Also, if you have your phone in the backpack, you can't access it without taking the whole bag off your shoulder. For those reasons, I still have to have a small cross-body bag such as Tom Bihn Side Kick. I often leave the backpack in the overhead bin or rack on a plane or train, but the small bag stays with me strapped across my shoulders all time even while sitting on a plane, eating at a restaurant, or even visiting the lavatory and I have it on my side or front, not in the back. AND my valuables are in a pouch attached to the O-rings inside the bag so that cannot be snatched away.
Chase got me into under seat one backpack years ago. I haven't looked back since. I found 35 liters is the max that fits under a seat (non European airlines) but you have no leg room. I went down to 28, 25, and then landed on a 20 liter bag. I absolutely love traveling with the Alpher one niner Whitley. The one item I bring with me that Chase didn't mention is a stretchy laundry line. I can't afford Merino wool yet so I buy quick dry clothes from Ross and pack two outfits plus sleeping shorts. I wash the clothes I wear each night and hang dry them. I'll put on the semi clean one and repeat until the end of the trip. I usually pack one soft T-shirt for the flight home though. I've used many of Chase's tips. They work. If you're new to traveling give them a try.
Currently at a coffee shop with my pup working on some artwork. Listening to the video has me day dreaming of eventually quitting my day job and having the ability to just work from anywhere. Always love these travel tip and bag videos!
What kind of art work? Well it starts with making time for short-term exploration. While you’re out, look for ideas that can make it long-term in the future.
This Pakt bag is my absolute favorite backpack to have for travel…a weekend trip or euro trip, it’s awesome! And yes being hands free is the ultimate
maan, this video couldn't be more perfectly timed. i'm hitting the road for the next 6 months to work remotely with my girlfriend & dog, and i'm currently packing. you've set the perfect challenge to not let the sh*t i own own me on this trip. thanks chase.
The last 3 minutes is why I love coming back to listen to this guy! Great packing tips and even greater life messages!
When you’re making notes about your life, it can affect how you live. Thank you for being an inspiration Chase! 🙏🏼
Those last few sentences you spoke, dude, i actually choked up. Bravo Chase.
Dude. I've lived in a dozen countries..traveled two bags for years..watching this for one reason....you crush it. And you nailed being satisfied with less.
P.s. The end is amazing. People need that. I wrote my first book five years ago on the beaches of Thailand..never felt so alive
"Because we go to travel, to change, to learn, to grow, and to come back to where we're from and see it... fresh." well said Chase! Just got back from a 30 day walk with just a small backpack and I couldn't really put my finger on why it is so nice to travel with less stuff but this communicates it so nicely. Thank you!
My "nice to have" are Tom Bihn leashes. Clip your tech pouch to a leash and attach it to the bag and you'll never lose anything. Do the same for passports, a wallet, or any other little accessory. Makes travel so much more enjoyable knowing where everything is and feeling like you'll never lose it.
The Airbnb I'm staying at in Lucknow, India had no soap or shampoo. Glad I brought it!
Chase, you're a G-ddamn salesman. In a good way, a modern way. You've sold me on how to think differently. Thanks, man.
I always appreciate the wise words you share in your videos. Thanks for breaking thru the BS and talking about the stuff that matters.
Outdoor Vitals has a terrific light weight rain jacket.
I think it’s called the Tushar.
This was so fantastic. Some really great take aways. Got emotional at the end and can’t wait for my next trip. Thanks Chase, you’re a real one.
That Tom Bihn tray/bowl/stuff sack thingo using your idea of cutting a hole for a cable is a GAMCHANGER!! I’m dying to try this, would be great as my “I need to have all this shit on me but don’t need to carry it around during the day” like chargers and hard drives etc. I have it in a pouch/bag that I remove when I get to the destination. But the idea that I could have this be the pouch and then transform into a “tray” is so cool, in theory haha
You are so right! I absolutely love traveling with a bag that fits under the seat. I also love Earth Runners! Injinji socks are the best!
I love my Earth Runners and my Injinji toe socks!
I love the vibe of your video a lot! Thanks for sharing such great tips!
Thank you Chase. Excellent video as per norm.
This was such a great video Chase, couldn’t agree more with all your deep philosophies on travel and life
Love this. Thanks for sharing
This is such a great video. I absolutely love how it's much more than a gear vid. I'd love to watch more like this!! Thanks, Chase
Great video. Love your outlook and philosophy on travel, health, life, and living.
The Tom Bihn Mini tray has been traveling with me for 3 years non-stop. It does give me that homey feeling in all the random places I sleep. It's part of my arrival setup that helps prevent me from forgetting things. I usually just pack it flat as the shape when stuffed doesn't work for me.
One of your best videos!! Love this travel content!! Thank you!
This was like, the ultimate Chase Reeves. So good. Carry on, my goodm'n.
“Why’re you doin’ that for?” x3 hahaha
Right on Chase, these are all solid travel reminders 👌🏽👌🏽
Came here to get some ideas to decrease my anxiety about traveling, got free therapy. Cant thank you enough. Simplicity is the one thing I'll be sure to pack.
Thanks for always dropping dimes in knowledge and advice for travel.
this couldn't come at a better time .. trip coming up, thanks Chase!
I love this. Thank you.
Great video chase, so glad to have you back. Hope everything’s going ok in your life.
Seriously..you are truely amazing. Love your content and love you too! Keep up the awesome channel!
Oh my gosh! This is the best travel video I have ever ever ever watched! I am so glad I found this channel! Your vibe your cadence, your countenance, your sense of humor, your knowledge mind blowing love it. Thank you for the content.
I love the way you talked about everything. This was a great video
Thank you Chase
such a fantastic video - love the honest reviews and the encouragement to travel =)
This might be the greatest video you every made. 😊 Some cool products to think about, even more useful tips to travel efficiently, and even more wisdom to keep in mind about why we need to get out there and see the world. I’ll definitely be rewatching this one over and over.
Thanks, Chase 🥰
Just recently discovered Chase Reeves!! I am so into bags and it’s so nice to listen to his views on bags, travel, organization and just life in general. I find that listening and watching is so informative and relaxing. This has changed my life in some way and I appreciate it. Can’t wait for more content 😁
Man, did I need this! Thank you so much for your tips, time and wisdom !
The last couple minutes of this video where you talked about going out in the world and not being afraid is super motivational.
You’re a good dude Chase, and thank you for sharing your ideas and experience with the world.
Great video Chase! I recently took a 1 month trip across Italy and then South America, and all of your videos have tremendously helped! I went with a 34L from Thule with a Matador packable backpack inside and hip pack as my personal item.
I did take a soap bar that could also double as laundry soap (Dr Bronners unscented) and a towel since I was staying mostly in hostels. Also a dry bag to do laundry was a life saver!
Where do you not find soap? Gym and swimming pool showers, that’s where. Okay, not universally true but that’s my reason for bringing soap.
Great video btw!
Definitely feels like the classic Chase Reeves video, loved it!
Man, i Love your little inspiring talks ❤️
one of my favourite things about your videos is the surprise direction they take towards the end. i really needed to hear this one’s. big love ❤
Hey Chase, love your videos. I’m curious where all you have traveled to, also your top trips! I think that would make a great video. Thanks for all you do
This is an awesome video. Thanks, Chase.
Field Notes are great. Love the Black. Use them at work.
This is one of my favourite videos of yours!!!!!
This video just popped up in time for me to enjoy my morning coffee with it.
I’ve been on RUclips since the beginning. I’ve watched sooo many travel videos and this is the first one I leave with a comment. I think this is the best and the most honest one I’ve seen. With the most real life advice. Thanks!
Thanks Chase it reminds me of my own experience. My first trip away on my own was 25 years ago and I gravitated to carryon only travel. I have found I now also changed over time. I have reduced the technical clothing due to micro plastics and look for more natural materials. I still wear jeans and wash them weekly. I don't have a capsule wardrobe because I frankly don't care about matching or perhaps I don't really have any dress sense. My trip to South America I used the Osprey Sojourn and it was my main travel bag. I even took home a carpet. Flipped it on its back to drag through Western desert sands in Egypt. Took it over subway stairs and cobbles in Europe. Big tough wheels. It finally gave up the ghost on loan but after 17 years. Now I just travel with a overhead bag and sometimes even underseat only.
Love this video!❤ so good
I like to use the Bellroy desk caddy for my bedside and their light sling for my daily carry
Excellent video
super helpful, headed to Japan next month!
“I hope you make space for everyone.“ What a big, beautiful thought. Gonna hold onto that one. Thanks for the weird and wonderful video.
Thank you!
I avoid putting anything on under the seat in front… those carpets never get washed and I don’t want my backpack picking up dog 💩 from someone’s dirty shoe and then transferring onto my jumper 😂
I can’t get over how happy I am to see this style of video. Like others have said. Old school chase! We need more philosophy from you!
I pack soap bc the smell of home is really grounding for me on longer trips - I use a squishy Nalgene travel bottle with the flip cap. Also stirling soap sells eau de toilette in little tiny spray bottles and those are great. Definitely agree on the overstuffing thing - I had a CHZ 22 nearly bursting for a 2 weeks and hated it, but I love it when it’s not quite full :)
I absolutely love your videos, you always make me smile and your tase is impeccable. Thank you! 🙏
Circadian Earthrunner sandals are awesome for travel! I also like to hand write notes the old fashioned way. 🌺✈️ Heidi
YOU! are a life coach, and a damn good one. Kudos, brotha!😎
What a guy, thanks for another banger video Chase!
Love this guy!!
I've had a number of Proof merino T's as well as several other brands and notice that they tend to lose shape and look bad quickly despite following all the directions for washing and drying. I've switched to Unbound Merino and love them.
Say it like it is!!! Hell yes, take time to explore this wonderful planet, close, far, whereever.
Best video yet. I’m a long time fan.
Frequently travel internationally. I'm over 6 feet tall, no chance to cram a bag in the foot well/under the seat in front of me. But, I bring a small rollable, and a daypack. the daypack has my tech and joins me on the plane, the small, hard case roller has my week's worth of clothes vacuum packed has space to bring things back and also isn't such a pain or over weight. Easy, one-handed operation as the backpack will strap onto the handle of the rollable. Bring less, enjoy more.
Came for packing advice
Stayed for the inspiration
Ur the man dude
Gosh I just discovered your channel! You have valuable content!
Oooo definitely going to try the hydration supplements next time I fly
I’ve got a dope setup where I clip a waterproof sling dive bag type thing to the bottom of my Cotopaxi Allpa 35 and then either take a Fanny pack or slim packable daypack like the Cotopaxi Tasra or a ratty old red Patagonia bag. It looks kinda like an old timey bedroll and backpacking pack but it’s surprisingly practical and not that inconvenient. And it lets me pack more layers and running/workout clothes without feeling guilty about space. Not for every trip but for longer multi week trips where I’ve got places to leave my bigger bag for a few days (Airbnb’s and hostels and such) it works really well. Or doing train travel around Europe. And I’ll probably use it for an NZ road-trip I got coming up
This man is hilarious!!! He reminds me of a smart Charlie Day and spiritual.
What a great video.
Thank you Chase for your videos. Big fan for many years now. I once wrote you for advice about buying a GR2 40L and it worked perfect for one bag travel. After my GR2 40L I bought a TAD Fast Pack EDC and though I like it a lot, it does not work for one bag travel (at least for me). My advice is: If a person chooses less than a 35L bag its going to be hard to take all you need. Thank you again.
Thin, light, packable, water resistant jackets - golfers have that solved. Footjoy makes one that I use and love.
I travel with a specific soap bar (yes I know, its heavy) because as much as I love light and minimal travel, I've found my skin particularly my face skin, doesn't react well to most soaps used in hotels, hostels, Airbnbs, etc. After just two days of using their saps, I end up with irritated flaking skin. It's a very personal issue, so I know why it might seem odd. But having the same soap bar/brand I use at home, helps me enjoy my trips, without suffering thru rashes caused by allergic reactions
Best packing video I’ve seen in a while.
I take a wash cloth in a zip lock bag. Its amazing how refreshing wiping your face, neck, and arms with a wet wash cloth can feel when traveling. You can use water from your water bottle when not near sanitary water source.
35:41 oh love this so much 🤣
Pretty well travelled here. Literally in an air bnb right now without soap lol
For travel pillow take a look at Sleeper Hold. I tried those you shared on the video and so far the sleeper hold works for better than those neck pillow, trtl etc
Exact video I needed man. Thanks Chase! Im bout to Nomad work it up, Whats your Coffee shop setup?
Wow Chase… seen all your vlogs but this was really something special. What an energy 👏🏻👏🏻. And thank you for shaving that beard 🙏🏻
And I totally agree with the under seat size bag. You feel so in control when you walk through the airport with such a small bag 💪🏻
Not sure if you have them in the US but for a really good, lightweight waterproof look at Mac in a Sac. Just got one in the UK which was under £40. Really waterproof and wind proof. Packs down really small and comes in a ton of colours too. They also do ponchos.
I pack soap…have to. But my last trip, I used the matador pouch for my bar of soap. I like dr. Bronners cause you can use it for everything!! lol. I packed a small lil container for my toothpaste but I like that matador one you shared. My tech stuff is in a bellroy pouch, I have a travel battery , the anker one. I have the flat charging station so I can charge phone, AirPods and watch. I pack my mini iPad for entertainment
Not to be an Anker fanboy but their Powerbank 733 plugs directly into the wall, has a 10k battery, 2 usb c ports and 1 usb a port on it. Not really large either. I have one and it works great for me.
I've looked at this since the release, but it continues to get pretty bad test results, and it's only a 30W power bank. Here's one example: ruclips.net/video/dx0mjXsNSdA/видео.html
