Stubble&Co Adventure Bag 👌🏾
One thing I would recommend as an alternative to an eye mask is a buff. While an eye mask really only serves one purpose, a buff is one of those small, lightweight items that can serve the same purpose as an eye mask, plus it can double as a way to keep your head warm, or sand out of your face, depending on the climate of where you're visiting. It can also double as a face mask if (heaven forbid) you find yourself feeling under the weather while traveling, but need to go to the pharmacy to pick something up.
The buff is an amazing choice with so many different functions!
I think both are so important that I bring both and an eye mask BACKUP. Very minimal weight, and the results are disastrous if I lose my only eye mask.
Buffs are very versatile and light accesories and i never travel without some. Beside from sunblocking they are also great for cooling when moistened with fresh water.
I travel with an HDMI cord on business trips. Got snowed in at the Newark airport in 2017. Connected my laptop to the in-room TV to use as a monitor.
Zip-Loc baggies of various sizes are a must. A few in the personal carry-on and a few for the suitcase. Great video!
Instead of compressing packing cubes I use dry sacks in my backpack. They are water proof and fit well. I use different colours and sizes to easily work out where items are.
I have added a Vaseline stick to my essential list. It does not count as liquid, and the uses are endless! Love your channel.
We all have watched a gazillion TH-cam videos through the years but, I really like your delivery. You stick to the facts and present the information in an interesting way that keeps me wanting to hear more. Thanks for the great content on traveling. I will continue to watch your videos to gain insight and travel ideas.
I would add wet wipes for the bathrooms that don't have toilet paper.
Please only dispose of any style of wetwipesminto the trash. Never flush. They cause horrible havoc on systems, especially old ones.
Yah more plastic 😢
I love your videos and how YOU pack, but how about the things that Allie packs? I want to know what she takes.
I did a 5 month trip a couple years back. A quilted vest was absolutely essential. You can wear it under a rain shell for extra warmth, or over a hoodie for adjustable comfort in various climates. If you get one with lots of pockets you can load it up for plane travel. A durable waterproof baseball cap is also handy, I clip it to the outside of my bag when not using it. Throw some rubber bands on that carabiner, trust me. I travel with a fire stick and it's great !
Agree with the insulated vest. Mine packs down to nothing but when needed gives me that extra layer. Also it has great inner pockets for my phone and travel wallet and zip up outer pockets for stuff so I don’t need to carry a purse. If it’s really miserable, I throw on my packable rain jacket. They haven’t let me down but I haven’t been everywhere yet.
Personally, I'll add a few more things:
1. Dramamine. it's a lifesaver for unexpected motion sickness when traveling.
2. Allergy meds
3. Matador soap bar case. Helped me efficiently bring a bar soap when traveling and makes it last more compared to just sticking it into a ziplock bag.
4. Hand cream is an absolute must.
5. Goretex shoes for locations with rainy weather.
6. Superfeet insoles really helps make you last longer with walking dominant travels.
Absolutely love these packing tips! ✈ Packing light with one bag is definitely the way to go for hassle-free travel. Thanks for sharing your essentials!
Some tips of mine to add: I wrap some duct tape around a pen (because duct tape!) and a small roll of medical leukotape for blister prevention, ankle sprains, or gear repair. Once my hiking boot sole failed, and the tape came in handy as the hike would have been impossible with a floppy sole. I also bring 2 carabiners and some nylon cordage as a versatile clothes line or for gear repair. Dry laundry soap strips in a zip lock, easy to tear small pieces for hand washing or use a whole strip for a load.
Great to see a video focusing on minimalism from a non-“ultra-light” perspective. A lot of people go so far w/ their sub-25l load outs that it feels unapproachable.
Completely agree!!
I think that's cos these guys travelled for half a year. Whereas a lot of these ppl who focus on personal item only are taking much shorter trips. Makes a big difference. Not necessarily to your wardrobe, cos can always wash clothing (yes, you can handwash clothes in your hotel bathroom and dry overnight), but the other gear needs to be built to last and multifunctional (to cover many different scenarios)
Clear, concise, and helpful! Thank you!
Love bbkbags the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other TH-camr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
Never thought of the HDMI cable! Will be adding that to my tech case.
A couple of recent security updates to share:
1) London Heathrow T5 International terminal and Schiphol (Amsterdam) have recently installed next generation security scanning technology where you can leave EVERYTHING (electronics, quart liquid bag, etc.) in your carry-on while being scanned. No need to remove shoes either. It made getting through busy security so much easier.
2) The Mobile Passport Control (MPC) process /app makes returning to America quick and easy when getting through Customs. It pretty much removes the need for the 'Global Entry' process. You complete the return information in the app before arriving to the airport and walk through a special line (1-3 people vs hundreds). They scan a tag in the app and away you go in less than a minute.
Hope this helps fellow travelers.
Two other airports with the new security features are the 'budget' airport of Eindhoven in the Netherlands & London City Airport.
We used MPC app on our way back home from Europe last Sept and the lines were short
Heathrow works well unless, like me, you have artificial joints. When I mentioned my two knees and left shoulder, they suggested I take off my shoes, watch and belt, since I was going to set off the alarm, and would have to go through the full scanner and be patted down. It's a bitch getting old. :-)
Rome's airport also didn't make us takeanything out or take shoes off October 2023
@@conniekershaw4412 How can this be when the greatest nation in the world, the largest economy on the planet, and the nation who sent astronauts to the moon still requires shoes off, quart bag of liquids out of bag, and electronics in a bin?
🙈🙉🙊
Love the content and items you use while traveling. Leaving for Paris, Bordeaux and Lisbon
Great video. I have been traveling for at least the last decade using gallon freezer bags as my packing cubes. I feel they do a better job of compression than the Eagle Creek cubes. I would absolutely add to this list a flashlight. Even if it's just an LED on your key ring, you should always have a flashlight.
my two small things that i always take with me that have come in clutch many times if i'm going to be walking a lot or away from my hotel for a long time are a small hand fan and a tide to-go pen!
I love Smartwool socks!
I just used your affiliate link to purchase an Unbound Merino T-shirt! Thanks for the discount code! I love their compact travel hoodie as well. Thank you for the great channel. Keep it up!
They are awesome! Thanks for supporting our channel. Happy Travels!
My favorite travel gear channel. Always something I didn’t know. I do want to recommend jaybird earbuds as a sub for the apple buds.
Side comments: Liking the new background. Bit more dynamic and less claustrophobic
Also, I was just in Vienna with my husband for vacation and went to tons of places you had in your videos! Amazing recs. Loved the brewery and Vollpension a LOT
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
You may also add a small bag for bandage, eye-drop, panadol...BTW, I have most of the items you mentioned when traveling.
I wear hand knit or hand cranked socks all the time. They are fabulous! I can even make them no show if I want. I’m seriously considering knitting a short sleeved tee. I already have the yarn!
Great vid!
Great video!
Osprey Porter 46 is my friend!!
Good video and all makes sense. I would recommend adding a small roll ( like 3/4 inch wide) of gorilla tape. An amazing tool for repair, organizing, and weight is negligible.
While I agree this stuff is great, you just can't bring everything; so it's worth looking into whether you can buy that at your destination should you have need of it, imo
this channel is sooo good. you deserve a million subs.
Good information. Thanks
I have recently bought some socks and base layer items made with alpaca wool and I find they are great for temperature regulation and super for protecting your feet from blisters.
Also supposed to be more durable than merino. I'm trying to move my wardrobe more to alpaca
Amazing video - super helpful & practical, thanks Nik & Allie! Will be following along with your future travels & use your guide & tips. You guys are lovely to watch.
The problem some people find with merino wool clothing is that it begins to fall apart long before many other fabrics. It can also tend to wear too warm in tropical countries. Yes….many travel TH-cam vloggers do get benefits from pushing merino wool clothing. I find the latest high tech summer/hot weather fabrics in men’s shirts by companies like Columbia to be much better in the tropics. Tough long lasting and breezy ventilated quick drying…can’t go wrong. It’s what I wear during long term trips to the tropics of south Asia.
No shoes and socks…. Bare feet in sandals . A good pair of men’s sandals with heal strap and arch support and tough sole….and no socks in the tropics is how I go. I let my feet breathe in the open air and sun. I wear a pair of socks only on the plane. ✈️ 🌴 🌴 🌴
I totally agree. I can’t wear wool so I’ve tended towards Columbia from clothes to shoes/sandals to jackets
Try Arctic Cool. My daily drivers
Alternatives to wool sounds good to vegans! 😂 I’ll have to look for that kind of alternative material!
I’m agree with you too …. I love merino wool but they are more fragile…. 😢
Just my two cents, but my husband and I have mostly switched over to merino fabrics, and I haven’t found a weak link in the bunch. We do line-dry all of it, which we’d have to do abroad in many cases, but man it’s so good. We buy most of ours from Icebreaker. No Smell Ever. I swear I could wear a single shirt for a week, wash & line dry and repeat without any smell or wrinkles. Same for socks, pants, and sweatshirts. Of course we wash underwear (but I can wear a bra multiple times before it needs washing). In the end, it saves money - at least that’s our experience.
Thx for sharing. Bombas merino wool socks. Only ones I use for just daily life. I’m too picky about seams and the feeling of fabrics and these are awesome. My grown sons use just like two pair on camping trips since they don’t stink!
Try any brand of alpaca socks. I promise you will change your sock habits.
Sure. I’ll try a pair to compare next time I buy socks. Thx
@@bgtsy I have multiple pairs of Paka and Pacas socks. The former are thinner, the latter are thicker. I use them as the season dictates. I am eventually going to try Hollow, Willowace, and a few other brands.
Another useful video from Nik... tons of great tips. What are some less expensive options for merino wool? Some of us can't afford Unbound !
Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing beats the Rimowa carry on.
Great review, it's all good one bag travel, any ideas what to do when bringing back home souvenirs which cannot fit in one bag, just a thought
My $8 tote from old navy, is a perfect one bag carry. Its gone through 20 trips and looks brand new
I have been using this backpack since it came out and I used it as a single bag for traveling inside my country, and used it as a carry-on bag for traveling to another country for containing my camera gear.
Overall it's great but I never use the expansion because it makes the bag look too big.
Rubber bands...incredibly useful for travelling
I have an emergency repair kit that fits in a flat pencil pouch in my dop kit. Eyeglass screws,nose pads.+mini screwdriver, a polybag self adhesive repair patch, a foot of duct tape (folded with parchment paper into 3” long), a 0.5g superglue packet, a sharpie, a few zip ties, rubber bands and Velcro strips, a single use epoxy foil pack, a couple twist ties, and a sewing “kit” with 4 colors of thread, a needle, and 2 buttons on a business card. They’ve each gotten me out of a jam at one time in the past. (I’ve yet to encounter TSA problems with my superglue and epoxy as they’re just (so trivially small. )
Be careful. Some airlines, looking at you Turkish Airlines, only allow 17 pounds {8KG} for the carry-on and they do weigh the carry-on bags. At least they did the last time I flew. I have even heard of them weighing bags at the gate.
Yes the reality is most airlines do weigh every time I travel, whatever airline may be. Plus ask for a return ticket
In Australia we've been
I have bin traveling so much I thought this video would be a waste of time, but damn it was good
Dryer sheets and ziploc bags are must haves for all the reasons you gave.
I wish I could wear merino next to my skin but I can't. Except for my feet! As another layer, it's great!!!!
Merino wool socks are wonderful. Bombas makes great socks; we've been buying them for years. Also FoxSocks.
Some great advice!!! Thank you, Nik!
I have issues with wool too. Even merino is a little scratchy for me. So after washing I then soak it in 1:1 vinegar and water solution for 1-3hrs. Some even suggest that you can then freeze it in an airtight bag overnight to fully take the itch out of it but I find I don't have to go that far. Hope that's helpful
Unbound Merino Wool clothes are great. I invested in the Womens Merino Wool Womens Capsule Wardrobe.
Are they holding up well? I purchased three Smartwool Tees and love them, but I don't think they will last long. I'm able to wear several times before having to wash and always hang dry. I've noticed a lot of pilling.
@@ckgonzales6743 try washing the tees inside out. Also make sure you’re using a washing product make specifically for wool
@@ckgonzales6743 My travel pants from them started falling apart after 6 or so months. Highly over-rated.
Nik, can you go into more detail about shoes you pack? Perhaps you have a suggestion for 2 pair that would be good for 4 different functions? everyday, training/workout, pool/beach, non sneakers for going out nicer.
You bet. For me, it really depends on the trip. For 6 months of full-time travel, I packed 1. A pair of walking shoes like these (amzn.to/3U4Wl6T the ones I took are discontinued now.) 2. A pair of running shoes specifically for working out and 3. A pair of sandals for water related activities. (These www.nike.com/t/air-deschutz-se-mens-shoes-WtcmP1/DO8951-001). As you can tell, there's not a nicer pair of dress shoes in this mix. The walkers I had were solid black and could "pass" in all but very fine dining situations.
For most trips I don't pack sandals as we aren't big water/beach people 9 times out of 10. For some trips, I'll just run in my 'walking shoes' so I don't have to bring an extra pair of runners. For work trips, for example I used to attend a lot of trade shows, I like Cole Haan shoes like these (www.colehaan.com/mens-originalgrand-wingtip-oxfords/C26472.html) because they have great cushion. SO I'll wear them on the plane, to my appointments, etc. and then I've got my workout shoes for my run around town or the hotel gym.
I almost always find myself having to prioritize the 2 things I care about most in order to avoid packing 3 pair. I'm always like "man, if I weren't a runner, this would be a lot easier" but I'll take packing a pair of runners over packing other sports equipment any day.
I hope this is even a little helpful! Disclosure - that amazon link above is an affiliate link - I did that simply because the regular link was a mile long. Not trying to sell you something. :)
What do you recommend for slacks that are casual but can be useful for a formal dinner when traveling?
My wife and I just took an eight day cruise. We did not check a bag, but we did have both a wheeled carry-on and a backpack. We breezed through immigration on both outbound and inbound legs.
Who makes the slings in your video? The orange one and the one right after that? The one you linked is overkill. Thanks!
While I always bring my earbuds while travelling I don't use them on a plane because if you drop one on a stuffed, cramped Ryanair flight it takes a contortionist to retrieve it. I carry a set of basic wired for the plane but am tempted to invest in overear bluetooth noise cancelling despite the added bulk. My last flight was so noisy!
Please remember a lot of Air Lines flying into the South Pacific region, have a ONE bag carryon a total weight of 7 kilograms, so your crossbag will be ONE bag, their is no such thing as a personal bag.
curious what you use for white noise/sound? Phone app or another device you recommend? Thank you!
have you tried folding your shirt to the size of the compression cube vs rolling them. i found take up the same space. thoughts?
I advocate testing all of your tech bag items before you head out. It can be a real pain to be stuck in a hotel only to find that your travel USB-C PD charger burned out as it was unplugged on your last trip, or that HDMI cable you just unwrapped was bad from the factory. That said HDMI cables are likely to be available at local retail shops.
One thing to potentially cut down on bulk would be to look at a RJ-45 to HDMI adapter pair, with a 6' or 10' Cat6 flat cable that rolls up neat. And yeah, test it at home on a couple different TV's and all computers. There may also be flat HDMI cables that pack small.
Hair bands (the small variety for pony tails, are a great bit of kit for keeping cables tidy, and mostly aren't going to get hung up on the mesh as some of the velcro straps will. Gear ties are becoming popular for this as well, think heavy duty twist ties.
I've had good luck with most of my RayCon ear buds, and carry the workout set with me, but the gaming set would work just as well I think.
Brother, at the point where you are buying multiple pairs of RayCons, I say just get the AirPods
@@God-mb8wi Not an Apple person. Not telling anyone not to buy them, just not buying them myself.
Which one do you like better? The osprey ultralight roll or the tripped travel gear one?
In general, stuffing your passport in an upper-pocket of your backpack is not a good idea safety-wise. Moreover, carrying an exposed passport is even worse.
The modern passport contains a microchip and an antenna which are susceptible to corrosion and oxidation. These booklets are meant to last for at least ten years, so it is a good idea to insert the passport in a cheap plastic transparent cover for that extra protection. Also, it is even better to put it in a ziplocked bag, and even adding small moisture absorbing bags, those that come with new cameras or binoculars. Going through passport control where you passport fails to beep means a secondary inspection and an interview. Then if your passport is taken out of your backpack by a pickpocket you have to go to the embassy with a police report and get an emergency passport that will screw up your travel plans altogether.
I met a woman in France who watched all her papers head off down the highway as she was left behind by her Flix driver. Always keep in my day pack while in transit
Any suggestions for 1 bag and need much thicker clothes boots meds for winter or winter summer in one bag?
I'm moving to Australia on the 29th of this month, only doing carry on and using the Monos Carry On Pro 46L and a Patagonia Refugio 30L day pack and a unisex sling from Uniqlo.
Welcome to Australia.
Cool!!
Does the Anker portable power bankk need a surge protector orr is tere one internal? Thanks, D
10ish litre dry bags make really good day bags that lay flat in a document sleeve when you need to haul a bit more shit for a day trip than will fit in a Fanny pack.
I am am 6'1 280 and still haven't found a merino shirt that a relaxing fit. Bought from 3 differant companies and they are all skin tight.
Totally agree, I am 6 ‘2 and find to make the sleeves suit need to go up a size that looks ridiculous
Instead of a packable backpack, I highly recommend a lightweight crossbody messenger bag.
Hey Nik, great video 🎉
Sorry to bother you, but do you have any recommendation and/or suggestions of brand name for a Light Rain Jacket with a hoodie? That can not be too bulky
Thank you very much for your kind attention 😊
I adore my eddie Bauer one
@@twistedxvengeance thank you very much for your kind attention 😊. I will get one, God bless you 🙏
Outdoor Research Helium 2. Bestvultralight rain jacket and packs small. Shop sales for prior year colors and you can get one in the $70.00 range. Great deal.
Do you get a mobile phone sim card from the country you're visiting? We found ourselves at a loss when not being able to get info from the internet while traveling.
We do use offline navigation.
My personal recommendation is instead of carrying both a charger and an adapter, consider just getting a charger at your destination if it is your only destination and you plan to visit more places with the same plug in the future
Nik, Thanks for all these videos. I have a question. When traveling with an empty water bottle. I have Titanium, Plastic, Grayl or sturdy plastic options Going to rome so one is needed. Which is better to fly ( no checked bag) with?
For international travel and if you can afford the weight...GRAYL. the filter is by far the best whether in town/city or hiking in the mountains. If you can't afford the weight, stick with a hot/cold thermos. I use ultralight THERMOS or my Kojirushi. Flexibility for hot/cold for hours! With that, I bring my Sawyer squeeze with adapters. Happy travels!
I'd like to add a suggestion: when considering which water bottle to choose for travel, be sure it is leak proof (nothing like having it on its side, and releasing the contents all over your bag or anything else nearby) and that the mouth piece is covered (no folding straws/bite caps without a cover) and for your own protection/ safeguard from contamination, like dirt, falling,, people coughing/sneezing...
Can you please tell me what's the brand and model of the beard trimmer? Thanks
Hello, I love your content. I want to travel with just carry-on luggage, but I like to shave every day. What do you recommend for that case?
My husband uses the Phillips Oneblade for years and he loves. Comes with a cap to protect the blade when packing.
Put the dryer sheets in the net pockets of your bag and your clothes stay fresh!
I usually double bag it, just in case of slippage.
Wow, way out of my league $200 jackets. Your wardrobe is close to $1000 on your back.
My personal problem with merino wool is that it is obtained through cruel breeding. While I am not categorically against animal products, this should be avoided, in my opinion.
Cool video, though, thanks!
Well stated and I agree with you that wool should be avoided!
What is weight packed of one bag you use?
There were so many items on this list and so many extra bags that I either need to get a bigger bag or another bag. Crap. Not another bag!
My only owala issue is if I use it with a carabiner and bump into something it opens up.
when i was researching packing cubes, i saw the eagle creek ones recommended everywhere, so i got a set and the zipper busted on one in less than a year :(
Great video 🙏
I have items that have different charging ports, so I purchased a cable with three different charging options, lightening, usb c and mini usb. Saves space and works well. The ones I have are not smart, just charging, so you don't have to worry about data hacking.
I have an sd card reader that includes various usb adapter jacks in the device. Best $15 I ever spent. Use daily when travelling. And am always finding new uses for. Brilliant piece of kit
How do you travel with one carry bag , when carry on flight cabin bag is only 7kgs limit ????please advice
I've found that airport security wants your tech bag to be clear so they can quickly review the purpose of all the wires.
Will the 40 oz bottle fit in most backpack bottle holders? I would hate to buy it only to find that it doesn't; which size out of the 3 wound you recommend?
maybe opt for a 32 oz. I personally love my HydroFlask.
I've always used the 22 and it fits great. I can't comment on the 40, unfortunately. That's pretty big!
Try Rolling square cable
I did find value in your video, so I’ll give it a thumbs up.
However, on the fashion side of things, I will have to take a pass on your advice 😅.
Even though merino wool is a great material, I don’t think it is ideal to base your clothing selection solely on fabric. Not only are there more breathable fabrics out there, for example in summer, but it’s just too restrictive to only go by fabric.
When it comes to shoes, it is not just an American thing to go with running shoes or trail runners, and these have become very socially accepted and fashionable in most settings, so there’s nothing wrong with going for that!
(Yet, your advice would have been valid up to last decade).
However, if you think you might be going out somewhere rather fancy, then it’s always a good idea to bring along a slightly dressier kind of shoes that won’t take up too much space.
Apart from those few qualms, I found your video very interesting and took a lot of notes. Keep it up!
Quick dry trous and tees with feather vest. Tevas for everyday and light weight patent slip ons for dressy
How do you get it all under the 7kg carry-on limit.
Especially for traveling for more than a month abroad.
I’m guessing that since he’s not traveling alone that they both share the weight of some of these shared items. Also, I believe you get one bag (the backpack/carry on) plus a personal bag (purse, messenger bag, whatever.
I've been all over the world and only travel carry-on. If the bag fits in those carry-on tester things no one ever weighs it. I don't think I've ever had a bag weighed by anyone.
I am curious as to what you use for your digital notes?
Evernote!
can you bring those retractrable extension cords with you via carry on baggage? full extension cords are usually not allowed, we had to leave ours in the airport recently so im looking to get a retractable one but afraid it would just get confiscated again :/
Good point. I'd be interested to know this too
This is one of those items that I'm wondering if it isn't just a better idea to plan on buying an extension cable (1-2 meters) at a local store where you are traveling. It will have the right local plugs, and either 1'm, or 2 meter should be both affordable if you avoid buying it at the airport, and if you can't carry it back with you, losing it isn't likely to be a significant issue. I'm not saying it's a solution for everyone.
How do you get a 6 month sabbatical?
Great ideas and thank you. You are a "hip', successful, get it all done fast, etc. kind of couple. I sure hope you pay some attention to that precious baby. I mean real attention, not just propping her up and saying you are cool parents who can do everything. If you are not in her sweet face, you are not really there. Just consider this. Also, babies want a "home", regularity.
Wow. Maybe you meant well with that comment, but it comes across as being small minded and judgey.
There are just as many stay home/small town/parochial parents who aren't paying attention to their kids cos they're too busy on social media etc.
I refer you to Wolters World. This couple have been travelling the globe for decades and taking their kids along for the ride. And they see this as a way to expose their kids to culture and history first hand.
I suggest you broaden your mind a little
@@susie9893 I suggest you read something besides People magazine, Sugar. Get an education and a job. Be careful if you ever gave to write a paper or a note; your reading skills and thought processes are rather limited. Read what I wrote again. It would take me a bit to grade and correct what you wrote .Wait, i see that you are a woman. it wouldn't do much good. So go bake something.
What Patagonia rain jacket is that?
It’s the Patagonia Houdini Women's Rain Jacket: bit.ly/patagoniahoudini (affiliate link) They also make one similar for men
I pack super light, however playing an instrument while travelling is essential so a trumpet or fiddle or guitar ends up getting dragged around and I can’t live without at least one surfboard, so yeah, I’m fucked….but my backpack is light😢
My problem is never space in one bag but Weight. How do we solve this?
So how about underwear for men? I’ve seen travel skivvies at $60 for a single pair. Which is what a pay for 3 five packs of Hanes.

Ok dumb quit here but no one ever does a video on how to pack to come home? I don’t get how packing cubes make sense on the way home with dirty laundry. Yes, I bring a laundry bag, but I would love to hear about reverse packing to come home!
Well for a start, I handwash as I go so I don't start accumulating dirty laundry until I'm a few days before flying home. And then I just make 1 of my 'packing cubes' (personally I use delicates bags instead) my dirty laundry bag and start filling that up and keep the clean stuff in the other. Works for me
"intentionality" 😂
