The most practical one-bag packing video I've seen! And yes please, I'm excited to see how the Bagsmart backpack would look like packed. I have the Tomtoc one that looks just like it but I want something a little smaller.
thank you Liz!! ☺️ This is the first time I’m hearing about the Tomtoc bag, so I googled it and it looks so nice! I realized recently while browsing Reddit that I think the Amazon bags are super similar to the Aer Travel Pack (but wayyyy out of my budget lol). I’ll look into the Tomtoc features when I review the Bagsmart one!
That is such a big compliment, thank you! I've been obsessed with makeup depotting videos recently, which is kind of like packing, just in a different medium haha.
I would do that, but then I get caught into the trap of "oh, what if this happens" or "I can't leave without ___" and next thing I know, I'm bringing a full size large suitcase
I do this too, but you can usually just buy something if you *really* need it during the trip! I bring a foldable bag in case I buy a lot of stuff and want to bring 2 bags back haha
Hi Regan, I would like to see a comparison video of the new Bagsmart bag to the others you own. I just returned from a 6-day trip to Los Angeles and even packing the bare minimum and using packing cubes, my 22” case felt heavy. I, like you, also brought a backpack for my laptop, cords, make-up, and toiletries. I wish I could find a way to pack lighter and use only one bag. Thanks in advance!
I have been looking at similar value size travel backpacks but they all do not have a hip belt which is essential if the bag is heavy. Finally decided to buy a hiking bag just because they have hip belt, sternum straps etc….
Hiking backpacks are so nice! I got an ultralight bag from Gossamer Gear and I loooooove it. It’s so comfy! But I just love how much these cheap ones hold and their clamshell style. I saw the Aer Travel Pack is similar, so I may upgrade to that one day. My partner uses a larger bag from Cotopaxi that has hip straps and he loves it! What bag did you get?
Oooh girl, you have expensive tastes with Gossamear, Aer and Cotopaxi! I went with Salomon (a French brand) Trialblazer 30l, it was recently on offer (about USD$56!) during the recent Amazon Prime Day! Super light at 1.28lbs, with sternum & hip belts!!
It's unbelievable what you can fit into a rucksack. I would love to have someone like you when it comes to traveling with the family. You'd need a motorhome for that ;)
That’s a great idea! I pretty much only wear workout dresses and tops, so they don’t get very wrinkled. But in a pinch, I would iron them (staying with friends or at a hotel) or just hang them while I shower to steam them. Edit to add: I did one bag for a wedding this summer and I ironed my dress at the hotel. I had to ask the front desk for the iron, but no biggie!
Sure, everyone can travel with just one backpack on flight. But when the airlines impose their weight limit restriction for your one bag, then the real trouble begins. The most important criteria is to watch out for the weight and not the size of the carry-on bag 😅
The bag has to fit under the seat in front of you on Spirit/Frontier, so maximizing that space is important in my experience! Are you mostly traveling outside the US? I’ve never had someone weigh my personal item when flying Spirit/Frontier.
@@ReganShorter Yes, I always travel outside of US especially in Asia and Europe. There are some very notorious airlines that don’t care how small your bag could fit under the seat in front of you. They just wanna rip off your baggage weight and charge you a fee for anything above their 7kg for carry-on. So beware when you travel outside of the US 😅
@@ReganShorter I bring solid products, like shampoo and shower bars, tooth tabs, deo and sun stick etc... Almost everything is available in solid form these days!
On the floor 😅. I’m half kidding, but if I can’t do laundry before I pack again and I have a mix of clean/dirty, I just put them in a plastic bag from the grocery store. I would still fold them so they’re flat, and just place the bag on top of the packing cube in my bag.

That tip about about bottle size on shorter trips was really good. I will use that someday.
It’s so useful!! It took me way too long to learn that lesson myself
love watching "travel packing" videos. your video as a whole is definitely above average compared to some of the others ive seen. thanks for the tips.

Loved your video/informations thank you for sharing😊
Great suggestion on the toiletries!
You know, I realized it after I took the same container of face wash on 5+ trips 😅

@@thewittyguide that sounds fantastic! I know them from their shoes, but I didn’t know they make bags as well
Quickly googles “workout dresses” 🤯 what are your favorites?

Hahaha it’s easier when you’re just carrying things for yourself! Traveling with kids/family is a whole other challenge
There's something about packing tips videos like this that feel therapeutic. Maybe I'm just weird. 😅
I watch 20+ minute depotting videos for makeup, so I get it 😂
How do you deal with creases when you unpack your clothes? My sister bought a portable slim steamer and thought it's a good idea when travelling.

@@AtmosJourneygot it! So we’re working with different requirements. I’ll start weighing the bag for future videos!
Please review the bag smart bag!
Noted!
nice bag..weight of the bag plz
I’m actually not sure! Are you looking for the weight of the bag itself when empty, or when it’s packed? I’ve never weighed it
@@ReganShorter empty bag weight plz...bez i am going to thailand..only 7 kgs eligible for free ..so
@@sruthiamor9076 I just checked and the green one is 1.2kg!
@@ReganShorter thank you so much
4:35 I don't bring any liquids anymore!
🤯 How!? what do you bring instead?
@@ReganShorter I bring solid products, like shampoo and shower bars, tooth tabs, deo and sun stick etc...
Almost everything is available in solid form these days!
@@kessas.489 that makes sense! Do you still bring lotion?
Where do you put your dirty clothes?
