Just found your channel while I am on a trip in Europe (mostly France) for a month. I brought my Fjalraven Kanken and a bum bag. I put the items I want on the flight, bus, train in it. That way I am not disturbing my neighbors while I get items out of my backpack under the seat. Funny thing is I had put most of my clothes in one of the stuffable neck pillows….which I left in my car before going to the airport. Here I am France with a pair of pants, 2 shirts, and underclothes. Other than a swimsuit I will need for the beach in Nice, I am doing of with what I have.

I’m going personal item only on a trip around the world next month and this will definitely help me with fitting everything in my bag. Especially the electronics as I’m bringing quite a bit with me. My backpack doesn’t have locks but I have found the small double-carabiners are great for making zippers harder for thieves to open quickly, but easy for me to open when needed.

I love your video, most minimalist packers have a personal item and small cabin bag. I'm a girly girl and like to have different clothes, makeup etc. I collect samples of shampoo, face cream, foundation in sachets to reduce the space small bottles take up. I put eyeshadow and blush into tiny ziplock bags so I don't need to bring a pallet of makeup which are bulky and can be heavy. I use a small, microfibre kit Chen sized cloth instead of a microfibre towel as it takes up less space. I still manage to pack with a Ryanair size bag for domestic, European and international trips. It makes life so much easier. If I need a larger amount of toiletries, I make an online ore-order for pickup in the boots store in the terminal I will be flying from. I use a small hotel soap in a tiny ziplock instead of shower gel. I sew a few internal pockets into my jacket in case I need to carry extra bits. I sometimes bring a lightweight fold up bag, it's great for shopping or as an alternative day bag so I can easily leave my main bag in the hostel. Instead of thick flip-flops, I bring lightweight pedicure flip-flops to wear in the shower. Putting a plastic bag on the ground in the shower is an alternative. Make sure you don't cover the drain hole. I bring a few blister plasters, ziplock bags and a sharpie with duct tape on it (this will be confiscated flying out of certain countries, do your research). I have had issues with border security as they consider it a red flag if you don't have a suitcase.

Loved the video but am pretty sure the the Amazon link for the carryon bag you used in the video is not the same bag. Appreciate it if you could provide the correct link to that one. Thanks!!

Great video. Do you have a link for the double side mesh bag?

When buying merino wool, check the percentage on the label, as some companies are adding in larger proportions of synthetics like nylon which can change the durability and comfort of the product. I look for anything over 80% and I have never had issues with the fabric degrading.
