I have watched A LOT of minimalist packing videos and this one has got to be one of the best. Great video, thank you!
Thanks Romina, glad you liked it =)
This is the best minimalist packing list that I have seen! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks!
one of the best “how-to” videos I’ve seen, thank you
Thanks Mel the Minimalist! =)
Great video. No fluff or bs, straight to the point. Nice work.
Thanks Jehosaphat! =)
Pretty impressive. Thanks for the lightweight backpack recommendations!
Thanks Raul! Glad you liked them
❤❤❤love it, detailed and minimalist haha
Your list is good and can help people slim down. For our family, we agree on how many outfits we are packing to coordinate laundry days. Also importantly, we pack power banks, travel pillows that fit us better and clean, slip-on slippers for hotel or beach. We also pack enough sundries for the length of trip, extra baggies and at least a couple of kitchen size 13gal trash bags. We don't have to spend time shopping to refill and end up with multiple large bottles. If going to a more remote destination where shops take a lot more time to reach or abroad where language barrier could be a problem, we take a first aid kit with substantially more meds including cough drops. Adds more weight and bulk but reduces hassle and improves our comfort while in transport
Good point, sometimes it's hard to find toiletries so it's good to stock up before you go with those items.
Great concise video and some quality product recommendations!
Thanks Packing Less, love your videos too!
This video is absolute gold. Was searching for exactly this info.
Thanks Govindh! =)
WoW!!! excellent video!
Thanks!
Clothes and laptop are the two things that can really become a pitfall. I weighed my work laptop and power cords for two cell phones (one for the country I'm based in and one for the one my family is in), and that added 2.5kg to anything I carry, which means it goes straight into my personal item. Clothing can weigh a lot... I have the Hynes Eagle pack you reviewed which is 1.2kg (almost as light as you can go) but a jean jacket weighs 500g and a pair of heels (ladies size 6) is another 500g. Your tip about cottons vs. synthetics is gold, and for ladies I'd add that anything with a lot of gathers (more fabric) can add exponentially to weight. Also, agree that around 30 litres is as much as it's possible to pack with 7kg - fill up a 40L pack with clothing and it's guaranteed to go over. The other thing about post-pandemic packing is sanitizers and wipes, downsizing from a 50-wipe pack to travel size saved a bunch of weight too.
Yep, trying to pack under 7kg with a large bag is very difficult. You can always wear the jean jacket on the plane though, so it won't count against your bag weight
Minimalism is a mindset. Loving this video (and audio), unusually soothing. Can you make one video for the Pandemic Era style packing? A lot has changed this year. I haven't travelled since a year so can't fathom what all people need now than how much easier it was before.
Thanks Monica! Good idea about pandemic packing. I haven't traveled much myself this year either 😮
Excellent video, thank you.
Thanks!
Great video. I give this link to anyone trying to learn to pack extra light.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Wow, good info.
Thanks Elle!
Love this kind of videos keep doing this kind of stuff! BTW, Would you rather bring lightweight cubes for toiletries / electronics and have them less protected or something more sturdy like the Peak design tech / wash pouch and have everything more protected even though they might be heavier?
Thanks Gonçalo! I always use a lightweight cube for toiletries, there's nothing I need protecting in there. If you're worried about leaks you can add an extra zip-lock bag. As for electronics it depends on what you're carrying. If it's just a charger, cables, battery pack etc. I use a lightweight cube. When I bring my camera I use a padded cube. Peak Designs cube is awesome, but I find it too bulky and heavy most of the time for what I carry.
I use a Porter 46L and you're right it's super easy to overpack and get into trouble... I use a scale as well which helps a lot. If I know i'm going on one of those crazy airlines that do the 7kg check (fortunately not too many of them) then I usually will wear a lot of my stuff. So my goal weight for my pack is 9kg (20 lbs) with the knowledge that I can offload 2kg of it in case I need to.
My biggest weight item is my laptop at 3.5 lb, now if I can find a harness that I can strap the laptop to my back and wear my jacket over that it would be splendid since I can lighten my pack a lot!! So far I have not found anything like it... still looking :)
Laptop harness would be a great way to save weight
Good video👏👍! Swissgear is also a good brand as well. I have a 31L pack that works nicely.👍😊
Thanks! Swissgear is a solid brand =)
In a pinch, have your heaviest clothes on and place heavy items such as batteries and chargers in them. Much better to just follow this advice and travel lighter.
Great tip, whatever you're wearing doesn't count against your weight =)
yeah batteries and camera in the pockets :D
Nice 👍
HI. In Italy we say "Viaggiare Zaino In Spalla" 😊... I also think this is the best way to travel the world. In short: lightness, money saving, time saving ✈🎒
Traveling with a backpack on your shoulder? That's a great saying, love it!
Woooow fantastic Video.Greeting from Albania,balkan country.😊🇦🇱
Thanks Bledar!
Thats very cool and useful for overhead, thanks. just a quick question , could you also take lets say a small 3 or 4 litre hip/waist/over shoulder type pack with out extra baggage charge ?? Thanks again. ,😊👍
Depends on the airline and what is allowed by your ticket. If you have a carry-on, the hip back would be your personal item. If you're only allowed one small personal item then most airlines would consider a hip pack a second bag and may charge you for it. 3-4 liters is pretty small though, and if you put it over on your back they may not notice or care.
For menot possible as need to carry meds for longterm plus extra warm clothes as asthmaticso would use 2 x carry on 1 25l 1 30 l weigh in as 1 kg empty for both together...
Thanks for the video,it's very concise and right to the point.
I'm wondering when you say you have this number of pants and that number of other garments, do all they go into a backpack and you wear something extra not shown here or you actually pick something from the shown and pack less?
Good question. The video was a demo of how much to pack in the backpack. If you want to not take much and do laundry every few days then you can wear an outfit from what you packed. I prefer to do this when I can because it frees up space in your pack for water/snacks etc.
@@OneBagTravels Got it, thanks for the clarification!
Got to love British Airways Carry on allowance
1 carry on bag + 1 personal item like a large laptop bag
Both can weigh 23 kg each
Lol, very different from many airlines in asia 😆
@@OneBagTravels yeah I remember the one and only time I flew with Cebu Pathetic I mean Pacific, they made me buy another tiny size carry in bag, instead of the normal size bag I had already used on my international flight.
Had further plans to book some another trip with them but changed to another airline
7kg? You are totally qualified for cabin baggage limit by most asian budget flights. Kudos 👍
Heck yeah! =)
yeah and works for like ALL flights on skyscanner as well :D which btw. is a totally awesome way to travel cheaply... heck even from Europe to India is stupidly cheap, especially if you "manually" plan each flight and enjoy a day or two (or more) at the various stops and go explore, many countries for little money... so time for covid to go away :D I am ready
For toiletries, what do you recommend for those wearing contacts? The eyesight-related stuff makes up the largest portion of my toiletries by far because I also bring along my glasses and a few bottles of contact lens solution (less for shorter trips). Thanks!
Contact lens solution is a common product you should be able to buy in almost any country. Unless you need a specific product, I would just bring a small bottle and plan on picking up more at a pharmacy/drug store on the road.
@@OneBagTravels True, I could do with fewer bottles. I actually modified my list already to go from 3 to 2. But I’m not sure I just want to go with one bottle. Also because I want to buy a new supply while I still have some.
I use month lenses... aka I swap em once a month, so I just carry 2 extra sets in case I need to take one out (dust/sand in the eye) or if I manage to rub one out (both of those have happened, but only ONCE each... in the last 15 years) but for my "comfort" I always try to have a spare pair nearby... 2 while travelling.
Excellent stuff, mate! So how much did the bad weigh? 😃
Final weight was 5.4Kg (11.9lbs)
@@OneBagTravels unbelievable! So cool! Really gotta downsize myself! Live your content, mate! Subscribed! 👍
@@ferdinandfulos3443 Thanks! =)
Good ok normally will it come to 7kg
Where can I get the mesh bags for soap featured in this video?
celestialgifts.com/product/3-25x5-black-hem-yellow-double-drawstring-bags/
I bought them here. The minimum order is 25 unfortunately.
Wallet,phone,toothbrush,jacket,pants,shirts,socks,underwear,razor,inflatable,travel pillow. What more do you need?Can purchase anything else on the other side and leave it there for the trip back unless you want to pay more.💁♂️
I'd add passport and travel adapter. I like to bring a small amount of toiletries so I don't need to go shopping immediately after I arrive, but for longer trips just shop locally.
may i ask in the beginning your mentioned under the seat, so what about the over head where u usually put your bag? does that means we can bring two bag one put under the seat and one at the over head compartment? if yes does the 7 kg is the total weight for both weights? thanks cos i am quite confuse with this rule.
Good question Raymond, it really depends on the airline. Many airlines let you take both a carry-on and a personal item without extra fees. However the trend is moving towards airlines allowing a personal item, and charging for a carry-on.
Some airlines restrict by dimensions, others by weight, some have weight restrictions for carry on, but not personal item, and some airlines combine the total weight. You need to check your airline's rules before you fly. These tables shows which airlines allow a personal item and the sizes/weights.
onebagtravels.com/carry-on-luggage-dimensions/
onebagtravels.com/personal-item-luggage-dimensions-updated-for-2019/
The idea behind a smaller pack under 7kg is that if you just have this one bag then you can fly almost any airline in the world without worrying about extra fees.
7 kilos totally but not counting what’s in your pockets
I was surprised that you didn't weigh the pack at the end, you had the scale right there🥺why???
I know right? I forgot to film it and include it in the video but I weighted it after I posted this. Final Weight = 5.4Kg (11.9lbs)
How do you like the mu one charger? Was thinking about buying it but the $70 is pretty steep. Is it still working and any gripes about it?
It's a good charger. My only gripe would be that it only has the one charge port. The flat, wide design can also make it tricky to plug in sometimes. The EU one works better because you can plug it in two ways, but the US one only plugs in from the side.
If you like it I would hold out for the Mu Two though. It was supposed to ship this summer but they've had manufacturing delays due to covid.
www.kickstarter.com/projects/muone/mu-two-next-generation-63w-dual-usb-type-c-wall-charger
Check out the CARD 4-Pro too. I actually find myself using this the most. It's more expensive and larger, but it has more charging ports.
www.card-tec.com/ca4-pro.php
@@OneBagTravels thanks for such a quick response! Ahh the 2 port mu charger seems interesting.
I saw your other tech videos on the anker and CARD chargers. Will definitely look more into those two.
Really like the CARD charger's practicality and design but I did have a bad experience with my CARD KableCard (adapters failed pretty quick and qi charging was spotty)
@@thomasnguyen4046 I haven't tried the Kable Card, but I've been using the 4-Pro for about a year now with no problems.
Update: The Mu Two isn't being made and Mu is shutting down. They weren't able to produce the Mu because of factory issues, they will be sending out a "signature version" of the Mu One instead of issuing refunds. Then the company is going out of business =/
@@OneBagTravels Saw the update on Kickstarter so I ended up picking the mu one on Amazon before they’re gone forever. Thanks again for lookin out boss 👌🏼
Any review on the Lems Nine2Fives?
I haven't done a review on those yet. They're very lightweight, comfortable, and look decent. Toebox is large, which is good if you like that, but if you have narrow feet you may find they fit more like slippers and don't really "hug" your feet. Not waterproof rain darkens the leather at least temporarily. Great travel shoe for city walking in Europe, not great for beaches or hiking.
@@OneBagTravels Got it. I may try them out in Mexico (Yucatan) as my city walking shoes and use my bedrock sandals for everything else. Thanks!
@@TridentHomeConsulting That's a good combo. I also put together a compilation of shoe recommendations from the Reddit onebag community if you're looking for more ideas. www.reddit.com/r/onebag/comments/sawz2x/all_the_shoe_recommendations_from_2021/
Which is the better toiletry bag for travel, sea to summit or eagle creek?
I like the Sea to Summit because your toiletries face out when you hang it up
@@OneBagTravels What do you do when at Airport security, thought liquid had to be in clear bag? You can tell I haven't traveled in a long time lol 🤣
@@lisabradley9288 It's supposed to be in a clear bag. Not every airport is strict, but it's still a good idea.
My solution is to pull out my liquid toiletries into a separate ziplock bag, which I put in an exterior pocket so I can get to it easily in security. I put them back in my toiletry bag later.
Your other options are to use all solid toiletries (eg shampoo bar, castile soap, tooth powder), or to carry your toiletries in a clear plastic bag all the time.
@@OneBagTravels thank you for your time and help! 🙂
Good backpack like pack design 45l backpack weight 2kg. How is it possible pack under 7 kg with backpack weight?
Using a backpack under 1kg (~2lbs) will help a lot. Obviously the lighter the pack, the easier it will be to pack lighter. I took the pack weight into consideration in the final weights in this video =)
What is the brand you have for merino wool tshirt?
I have a Wool and Prince 78/22 blend Crew Neck Tee as well as a short-sleeve 78/22 blend Henley; the red chekered button up shirt is from Hardvark, which appears to have gone out of business.
Thanks
can i combine backpack and handcarry for 7 kls/?
Airlines and tickets have different rules so you need to check the restrictions for your specific flight. 7 kg isn't a rule, but it's a more common restriction for many airlines operating in Asia. Most that have the 7kg limit only apply it to a single bag, however if you're flying economy you may only be allowed one bag, so your total weight will be default be 7kg.
For example, Singapore airlines restricts weight to 7kg per bag, but for economy ticket you only get one bag, but first class you get two 7kg bags. www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/us/travel-info/baggage/cabin-baggage/
@@OneBagTravels thanks a lot
So how much did it weigh?
5.4Kg (11.9lbs). I forgot to film weighing the pack, so I included it in the description below.
@@OneBagTravels did that include the weight of the backpack which was what 2.2lbs?
@@LiLBitsDK Yeah, that was the total weight with the pack, the Cabin Zero Adv Pro, which is about 2 lbs.
So what did it weigh?”?l..?????
Under 7kg 😆 lol. I forgot to say it in the video 😣 but I put the weight in the description, 5.4 kg (11.9 lbs)
Weight?
Final weight was 11.9 lbs or 5.4 kg
@@OneBagTravels that’s impressive. Well done.
No way that is all 7kg. Like the shoes.
Well you would wear the shoes. Weight is for the packed bag, and doesn't include the clothes you're wearing. However since my total weight was only 5.4 kg, even if I added the shoes it would still have been under 7 kg. These are fairly lightweight, Lems 9-to-5 shoes, they pack down small but are still kind of bulky if you're packing into a small bag like this.
