Congrats! You’re actually doing better than most so-called 1 bag travelers, who tend to have massive amounts of unnecessary crap. Impressed you found pack lighter, a staple for ultralight backpackers.
Thanks! I have some friends who are big into hiking so I leaned on them for some ideas on how to save weight and they pointed me towards lighterpack. I love that website!
Every time I heard you say 'two of...' I thought, 'there's a potential saving right there!' plus I guess it wasn't anywhere near Europe because that bag is easily too big for a personal item here!
Haha yes definitely still overpack despite my best efforts. I was actually in Europe but it worked as a carry on for the one flight we took on Ryanair. The rest was train travel :) and Asia we were fine as well
Thank you so much! Definitely a labor of love :) we decided to travel the world in ~2017 and every day since then was spent thinking about and trying out different gear so I wanted to share why I ended up with the gear I ultimately ended up taking.
Great job on this. I love how detailed you were on everything thank you. I'm going on a 6 month trip around asia starting in cold japan/korea and ending in hot southeast asia so this is perfect to be prepared for both climates.
Hey there! Ultimately we took it down as the hosting costs were quite high. Here are our lighter pack links: Here are his and hers! lighterpack.com/r/usqwfv lighterpack.com/r/yp9z1m
what is the mouth sore thing? i get sores/ulcers too. does it work? my wife swears by debactoral but it's prescription.... also, i found the most amazing electric nose hair trimmer that is compact but how well does that mechanical one work?
The mechanical one is... Ok but not great. Definitely sometimes it tears more that it cuts which isn't great. There is Kanka which just puts like a little cover over it and shields it which is amazing. Then there is oralmedic which is basically the same but I think helps cure them faster too.
Hey Anne! We absolutely love ours and they have served us well over the last ~3.5 months. You can get it directly from kikkerland.com or find a seller on amazon, however both look out of stock. kikkerland.com/products/universal-travel-adapter amzn.to/3S8IIiJ There is this one which looks like a knockoff which I believe I have read about on reddit with no issues: amzn.to/3DuUPSY Thanks so much for commenting!
@@onebagoneworld Thx heaps for this info. Will have a look. I live in Australia so hope it works well here too. Going to the UK in 2 weeks. Loved this practical look at what you have in your bag and the your reasons for travelling with them. Always looking for travel shortcuts like this. We’ll done.
@@AnneMB955 no problem! Have a great trip :) my girlfriend is putting her bag video together and should have it up within a couple weeks if you want to subscribe so you don't miss it. I think she has a few others she wants to get out first though so it might be after your trip, but if you have any questions feel free to reach out! She handles our Instagram if you are on that platform :)
I've never gone to cold climate countries before. How would you plan if you were to go to a country in winter that temperature can goes down to sub freezing, like below -0C? What clothes would you bring in your one bag?
As long as you are JUST going to cold that is doable! Packing for all climates is where onebag gets very tough. My favorite outfit at that jacket would be uniqlo heattech ultrawarm gear paired with an arcteryx cerium jacket. Maybe throw a midweight fleece in between or a light outer shell/rain jacket on top to protect it from heavy snow. Then you want some thicker pants, so probably the western rise diversion or the outlier strong dungarees would be my go to. For boots i'd grab the lems boulder boot with some thick wool socks and you would be good to go! Pack merino gloves/hat for the rest of your extremeties too! We went to sapporo, japan in winter on this trip and I had the Western Rise airloft v2 jacket. That + the above base layers were ok but I definitely had to duck inside every now and again. my biggest issue was footwear as I only had my sneakers with me.
Hey! Sorry our website went down but here is our lighterpack: lighterpack.com/r/usqwfv It's the REI Ruckpack Recycled 40L. I believe they ship internationally and I would wait until it's on sale to get it (normally US holidays like Memorial day in May). Here is the link so you can track it. www.rei.com/product/177403/rei-co-op-ruckpack-40-recycled-pack-mens
Hey Brandon! I went with 8 liters which is enough for ~ 1 outfit. If you go the sea to summit dry sack route, I really like the ones with the window as it allows you to see the contents while you clean it!
Oh and the boxers I use are: Ex officio give-n-go boxer briefs but I also have a couple pair of Uniqlo airism which pack down smaller and dry quicker but aren't as anti microbial imo.
Haha good question... My girlfriend talks about them a lot in her packing videos but you are right I should have mentioned them. I absolutely love those things and they are on a must bring list for us. Limitless applications
Hey Ray, thank you so much! We have all of our items listed here: onebagoneworld.com/packing-lists/ Its listed under Misc, the Sea to Summit Clothesline :)
I’m just wrapping up a 1 year trip. But it was multi season-so many things I would do differently. The crime and cold really made the one 40L bag tough. Thanks for sharing. Merino is brittle. At 6 months I needed to change some of mine out. Matador is awesome. I have their daypack too. My MacBook Pro is way too heavy. I wish I had upgraded my iPad Pro and just had that. I also didn’t transition to barefoot shoes until 2/3 into the trip. It would have totally changed my foot where space and weight. I almost want to redo the year and try it with different gear 😅😂😅
Yes absolutely! Ounces make pounds as they say :) Barefoot shoes are an awesome way to save space if they work for you. For merino wool I find that nylon + merino blends worked best for me in terms of durability. I really like W&P's ~77/23 mixture or whatever ratio it is. It gives the wool that extra durability and I never experienced pilling with those shirts.
@@onebagoneworld Yes! Merino wool is legend! I wouldn't have made it in the Andes without it! and it really is all that people say about not getting smelly and temp regulating! The best!
The REI Ruckpack Recycled 40L. The recycled material brings it down to a very light manageable weight without sacrificing any of the features. I truly love this backpack. Here is my first packing list, not sure if it was updated. lighterpack.com/r/usqwfv
@@onebagoneworld sorry I misspoke, I meant a voltage converter! a voltage converter will reduce voltage to make it safe for your devices (most north american devices are built for lower voltage than the rest of the world, and using a hire voltage can blow out the battery)
Haha yeah me too honestly. I flew out with a down jacket and an r1 fleece from Patagonia but then left it with my family in Switzerland since we were going to spend the next ~ 6 months in hit tropical weather. I actually picked up a $16 fleece from decathlon just for cold flights that will probably hold me over for awhile. Fits in my bag and didn't break the bank.
The mouse is the microsoft arc mouse and the keyboard is the Arteck one off of amazon. Right before I left I posted a packing list to our website but I did make a few last minute tweaks so I need to update it. You can find it all here: onebagoneworld.com/packing-lists/
Here it is: amzn.to/3vW5Wki We have full packing links and links where you can find the stuff here if you are looking for anything else: onebagoneworld.com/packing-lists/
I brought 3! 2 Darn tough ankle socks and 1 darn tough no shows. It looks like 1 of my ankle socks has developed a hole but I think it was one of the pairs I ware for the 2 years+ before we left and not one of the newer ones which probably explains it. So far 3 seems to be the sweet spot for not too many and not too few.
Didn't realise, but I actually watched Bree's video b4 yours. Wished she'd fully modeled the clothes like you did, rather than holding them up in front of her. Was hard to understand the pros and cons she was mentioning without actually seeing them on
Hi Susie! Thank you for watching! Bree actually modeled all of her clothing pieces one by one, as well as her shoes. She modeled them after each segment of explaining what they were. Hope this helps!
Haha, as gross as it sounds to some, yes absolutely and I have done it. I wouldn't say the same for my Airism though which is why I actually brought both. Airism are lighter, pack smaller, and dry quicker, but ex-officio's fight odor better and honestly drying time doesn't matter that much since they most dry out in one night's worth of sleep.
Congrats! You’re actually doing better than most so-called 1 bag travelers, who tend to have massive amounts of unnecessary crap. Impressed you found pack lighter, a staple for ultralight backpackers.
Thanks! I have some friends who are big into hiking so I leaned on them for some ideas on how to save weight and they pointed me towards lighterpack. I love that website!
His backpack and gear weigh around 14 kilograms in total. Not sure I'd call that ultralight.
Every time I heard you say 'two of...' I thought, 'there's a potential saving right there!'
plus I guess it wasn't anywhere near Europe because that bag is easily too big for a personal item here!
Haha yes definitely still overpack despite my best efforts. I was actually in Europe but it worked as a carry on for the one flight we took on Ryanair. The rest was train travel :) and Asia we were fine as well
A lot of thought-out accessories I didn't know I needed! My current soap case and needing to find places to dry things is always an issue!
Soap case is a game changer!! Hanks so much for watching!
You need some affiliate links to an amazon store or something, great info and I’m definitely getting some of these.
Thanks so much! Here is the lighter pack link with Amazon links while I'm working on getting the website back up!

@@onebagoneworld Nice, thank you!!
@@jeanbastien9424 thanks for watching! If you have any other questions on the gear let me know!

Thank you so much! I really wanted to cover why I made the choices I did vs other products you hear get recommended.
Now Bee needs to make a video about her bag 🎒 ☺️

Good job Jeffrey! Great video!
Great video, thanks for all the advice. Just wondering how many litres is the laundry bag you use? And what was the brand name of the boxers?

@@onebagoneworld great! Thank you for the replies!
Great advice about the 100 senses soap. I love it!
We love that soap and will be sad to see it go!
I wonder why you ignored heroclip even that you clearly have one attached to your bag?
Haha good question... My girlfriend talks about them a lot in her packing videos but you are right I should have mentioned them. I absolutely love those things and they are on a must bring list for us. Limitless applications
First, bishhhhh!! :P
Great video! Thank you. Do you have links to the laundry washing line you used? I've had a look at your blog and can't find it on there

not sure if you mentioned this, but does your laptop charger have an AC adapter built in? if not it might ruin the laptop
Not quite sure what you mean? But the adapter we have hasn't caused any problem so far.
@@onebagoneworld sorry I misspoke, I meant a voltage converter! a voltage converter will reduce voltage to make it safe for your devices (most north american devices are built for lower voltage than the rest of the world, and using a hire voltage can blow out the battery)
what was the name of the insole you chose for your on shoes?
Went with oboz, amazing support and started by an old podiatrist who was tired of crappy insoles. 10/10
I was surprised you had no jacket, fleece or even a long-sleeved shirt.
Haha yeah me too honestly.

How did you handle washing, and how often?
Very informative..thank you
Thanks!
Also, how many pairs of socks do you bring?

@@onebagoneworld thank you!
subbed cuz of blink 182 😄
A sign of taste and class!
Whoa Jeff mentioned he prefers mac, how things have changed.
Haha I can appreciate quality when I see it! Definitely missing that screen right now.
Toothpaste and possibly the sun balm is considered a liquid by tsa.
Yep! The toothpaste was but the sunscreen stick has been fine, it's like a deodorant stick except it's sunscreen, great for emergencies.
Didn't realise, but I actually watched Bree's video b4 yours. Wished she'd fully modeled the clothes like you did, rather than holding them up in front of her. Was hard to understand the pros and cons she was mentioning without actually seeing them on
Hi Susie! Thank you for watching! Bree actually modeled all of her clothing pieces one by one, as well as her shoes. She modeled them after each segment of explaining what they were. Hope this helps!
This video would be 3 minutes shorter if you didn't say uhmmmm every other word.
Thanks Kiki, I'll work on it!
Would you wear your ex officio underwear more than one day?
Haha, as gross as it sounds to some, yes absolutely and I have done it. I wouldn't say the same for my Airism though which is why I actually brought both. Airism are lighter, pack smaller, and dry quicker, but ex-officio's fight odor better and honestly drying time doesn't matter that much since they most dry out in one night's worth of sleep.
