Can you make a dedicated video on packing for a 3-day business trip for men when formal clothes are necessary? You have to be groomed well, it is winter so some elegant cold weather gear is important without looking like a dork.
I can recommend Montbell umbrellas. I use the Montbell Long Tail a while now, and I'm happy. The long tail has a special form - a long tail - to keep your backpack dry. Althought it's slightly heavier, I wouldn't change this umbrella.
My favourite travel backpack is the Durston Kakwa 40. For a 40l pack (55l if you include all the external pockets) it only weighs a bit under 800 gm. It's also a super comfortable carry since it is a hiking backpack made to carry heavy loads all day. Unfortunately it's not a front loading/clam shell opening, so you do have to be strategic and organised with how you pack it. For the cheaper cost, more volume and a more comfortable carry, it's an easy sacrifice since I always use pouches, stuff sacks and packing cubes for my travels anyway.
traveling to Nairobi, Kenya next month from los angeles for a few weeks using only ONE bag, my AER travel pack 3. I ordered the Aurelle toothbrush and the Altec Lansing speaker to take with me, thanks to your video. Thanks Pack Hacker!
Good Video. How about doing more of a budget minded version of these videos? Almost 400.00 for the featured backpack is a little steep. But I might be a cheap-o. How about a few more realistic everybody versions.
The sling looks like it would make a decent tech bag during traveling. Just empty into your backpack or luggage at destination(s) to use the sling as a sling.
If Tom Bihn made a Techonaut 45 in X-PAC, I'd be all over it for my travels. Until then, the Able Carry Max is the best travel backpack I've seen yet. But... c'mon Tom Bihn - let's see those X-PAC Techonauts! Count me in
@@hn2405Considering what I’ve spent so far in travel gear, the answer would be yes. IF it were the end-all, be-all travel backpack, then absolutely yes. So far, only the Able Carry Max has been able to handle a 3+ day travel plan, but barely. Ever travel with size 13 shoes? I’ve been let down by the TB Synik 30 and practically ripped off by the Alpaka “travel” backpack that is missing its promised space.
Do you have refs for a quality, comfortable, lightweight backpack? I’m using the Aer travel pack with waist belt. While it’s a great bag, it’s not lightweight. Thanks!
@@sophiagecko I own it. 6’2” 205 pounds - it keeps me dry down to my knees even in pretty harsh rain and fully dry (except shoes) in moderate rain - which is fine by me for how light it is. My poncho doesn’t keep my knees down dry either so not bad. I know a guy who is about 6’6” 350+ and it might be an issue for him. It’s holding up very well the years I had it. I don’t thump nails in with it or anything but not babying it either.
that montbell umbrella looks just like my typical japanese umbrella. ultra light carbon, in case of heavy winds it will even flip back to its shape if it gets blown. mine's half the price of this montbell (the website says its 56 usd (around 8300 yen, my umbrella was 4000 yen) and weight 76g ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Montbell jp site is usually quite a bit cheaper than US. The travel umbrella is listed at 6500 yen. But I'm curious which brand / make is your umbrella?
@@tanvach its just a generic one i got it just few mths back at bic camera. i was after a brollie that was small enough to fit into the sling pouch i got at uniqlo.
the 1.15 kg bag is not that lightweight! What about Patagonia blackhole, Osprey Nebula, or just some cheap Jansport? For us back problem people this is a big deal,
I have a Tortuga Setout and it already is tearing after 3 years of use. I have a Jansport I bought when in high school 20 years ago and it still works great.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.

Loved this video! I know its a bit early but would you be able to do a list of good travel essentials to get people as holiday gifts?
Keep an eye out, Emma! 😃
I have similar from Jack wolf skin, not quite as thin but definitely very small, for something for “emergencies “ it’s absolutely perfect for one

I love your videos. They make me discover a bunch of very useful gears.
I also start to want to travel each time 😅
Thanks for watching! 😃
Love this video too! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for adding grams and kilograms!🙏🏼

I am going a 2 week vacation to a hot place what should i pack flight alone with layover is like 56 hrs idk man what should i pack
that umbrella is only keeping your head and down to your chest dry. maybe also the arm holding it.
And it looks like it will snap in half at the slightest wind

Hello, I have been using this umbrella for 2 years and I love it. Ligh, functional, unbreakable.
Excelentes selecciones de productos podrías dar más opciones de paraguas Saludos. Tom

Is there anywhere a foldable or packable messenger bag?
A cheap nylon tote would be a good option.
