Years ago an airline forced me to check my carry on and then promptly lost it. I had only the clothes on my back and a spare shirt and underwear I kept in my personal bag. I made a beeline to CVS and bought some toiletries and a pack of Hanes XL shirts to sleep in. I used hotel shampoo to hand wash my clothes in the evening. I had a great time and realized how little I could thrive on. I’ve been one bagging it ever since.
Looks nice... just so hard to pull the trigger on $90 t-shirts.

I travel about 3 months a year for 1 month each trip. I’ve discovered 3 shirts, 3 underwear and 3 pair of socks is more than enough. Just sink wash, or book a place with a washer, as you stated. Wash these items you use every evening before bed. You can always buy more. 2 pair of pants. 1 jeans, 1 nice slacks or shorts, depending on time of year. 1 pair of walking shoes and for me, an open water swimmer, swim shoes, or sandals and swim suit. In cold weather a jacket, removable fleece liner, scarf and hat..stocking and Italian flat cap. I use a small duffel to pack everything. Toiletries and meds fit in end pocket or inside bag pocket. I use a male shoulder strap borsa,(bag) for my iPad. And layering of clothes while flying. Done. Unless you are going down the amazon in a dugout canoe…..you can always buy what you need as you go. This is my first time viewing your videos. You do have more commercial products than I care to waste mins. Watching….but gotta make a living or why not get sponsorship when you can. It’s tolerable, or scrollable.

Ok, talking about Unbound Merino (and yes, I did write to them with these comments). Their sizing sucks! Not everyone is S,M, or L…even XL. Big and Tall people travel too and don’t really have good merino wool gear to buy and use - and I just don't understand why companies aren't making changes with their sizing. We aren’t i. Our 30s and 40s, people in their 60s travel too - hey, we’re retired! So it does piss me off that I as a big female has to buy mens Ts and my hubby (Big and Tall) just has no options. sorry for the complaint but Unbound is just not listening. So there it is. If you have any suggestions for loose fitting ts for both women and men in Plus sizes and Big and Tall, love to hear about them.

Wife and I are going to Europe next summer, and I'd love to be able to do just a carry-on. We are doing a 10 day land tour (3 cities), train to another city for 2 days, then 10 night cruise. 22 days total. With having land stuff, sea stuff, swimming stuff, I'll need more than one pair pants, 1 pair shorts, sleep and swim. Same with shirts. But you have challenged me in the video. If we were just doing the cruise or the land, I think I might would attempt it. Thanks for the videos - I've learned some helpful tips.

I have traveled carry on only for decades. It's the way to go. I have had some fun doing laundry (did you know frozen laundry dries too ?) Be very aware of the temperature the washers are set at. Normal in other countries may be too hot and shrink some fabrics. (And wash any natural fabric, like wool, on gentle, because some foreign machines are just too vigorous for them).

Lots of similarities to how we pack, as long term travelers. My husband wears mostly Unbound Merino clothing. I’m thinking of getting him the Peak Design packing cubes and shoe bag, even though it’s more for me since he doesn’t care about things like packing cubes 😅. We also have an older Insta360, but we seem to have broken most of our cameras at this point… Hope you enjoyed traveling as a family! 🌺 Heidi

For those not want merino wool, suggest your try Patagonia Capilene products. They also have merino wool and merino/capilene blends. I have some capilene pieces that I wear all the times that are 20 years old and still look and feel new. These pieces are extremely easy to sink wash and dry quickly. Yes, Patagonia also has plus sizes. Check them out.

for those who are not thrilled with price of the shirts he mentioned. Alternative options are 32 Degree warm at Costco or even going to Walmart and getting base layers in light med or heavy coverage options works well. I went to London last year with both underlayers and I did well. It was October so just getting into fall. two days of rain. Also you can sleep in these as I got both tops and bottoms. That will keep you from having to use multiple pieces of clothing to layer. I brought 3 pairs of leggings and a nice top or two and 3 pars of the base layers. I was fine for 7 days

Sounds great… however, who you fly with is critical. There are weight & size restrictions on some airlines for carry on and altough most legacy carriers are very likely to le tthat slide, discount carriers will not let that be the case. Standard carry on size for Europe is 21.65” x 13.78” x 9.85” with a 26lb max allowance. I always pack with this restriction in mind just in case, I come across an overzealous staff member or if I am flying in Europe with a discount carrier (Also to Europe with the likes of Norge, Condor, etc.) - Better safe than be hit with an astronomical gate check fee.
@awaytogether Жыл бұрын
Totally agree! In this instance, we flew major carriers from USA to Europe and back, and all our city to city travel w/in Europe was Train or Car. If we'd been flying a bunch of smaller carriers, I likely would have done a slightly different strategy.

Regarding doing laundry: Laundry takes about an hour. You're gonna have a day that you're tired and want to take a break, so take a book, head to the nearest laundromat, and do a load of laundry. You'll meet locals and sometimes other travelers. Ii even had a British couple ask if I needed to use their laundry detergent and we had a nice chat for a few minutes.

No substitute for merino with full layers but fyi there's a handful of antibacterial socks that are cheaper and just as functional. Also bamboo fabrics can also be even better than merino for t-shirts and socks as well. Super nice stretch and a cool wear.. plus similar odour benefits to merino. And more affordable. Only 100% neccesary merino item imo is a thermal top layer. The pants could be regular thermals and theres plenty of other alternatives for t-shirts ect

It is not about it being just one bag but about it's weight as well. When travelling to Europe, they also insist that your carry on should weigh no more than 5-8 kg.

For this trip in particular, we flew major carriers to and from USA and then navigated between cities w/ train or car. Weight was not a factor for me. If we'd planned to fly smaller carriers like RyanAir from country to country, my strategy would have varied.
