Our Family Road Trip Packing Setup

[@Shanesterization]

The bag man has changed. He has ascended to an angelic level. Old bag man made me love peak designs in the middle of a trip in Japan. I was high anxiety and stressed when my brother hand cycled the country. I met the best Swedish man alive. My brother finished the hardest challenge ever. We gathered around a tiny ass phone and watched the bag man. He has no name to us (sorry Chase your the bag man), but here we all are watching an intimate view into that bag mans life. We came here for bags, but stay for the man. Stay chill.

[@ThePESpecialist]

"We came for the bags, but stay for the man" - couldn't have said it better...

[@damonluvisi]

Once again, really happy I got back into your videos again. Thank you for this! Saving this video for a reminder later. Just to recheck on life priorities.

[@LesTestsdeCyril]

Great video as usual Chase

[@stevemphoto]

CHASE: Mentioned needing CBD when you wake up at 2AM and need to get back to sleep. ME: watching this video at 3AM because I can't sleep. 🤔🤔🤔

[@fabiodias5527]

Absolutely love your energy, excitement and storytelling style, Chase. Found you years ago on an AER Fitpack review and still love your content!

[@stephenelliott9937]

Nothing like the sight of loading up the family truckster....well done

[@MattWeller412]

Another choice vid, Chase! Production value and vibes are on point 🤙Keep crushing

[@ashleegaither6473]

I am obsessed with your videos! You are hilarious and so down to Earth, I love it! I'm currently planning an international trip for the US to Europe and I'm having a difficult time finding the proper bag size for my family. Do you have any tips on international flights with kiddos? We have a 2, 8, and 10 year old. You're the best! Keep up the good work!

[@MarkLarssen]

The production on this video is amazing, really great to see you putting so much intention into it. That original song as well had me cracking up. Safe travels to you and your fam.

[@ishaychuk]

Maaan that top quality vid ! The background music 🎶🔥 Thank you keep it up

[@BritgamerB]

I love this video, thank you for the time you used to make this 🏵️

[@Bazzasphotolife]

"before I had kids, what was I even doing with my time?" HAHAHA, yep, I think the same every time a kidless friend tells me how busy they are!

[@Bazzasphotolife]

@lgold oh, don't get me wrong. You can be extremely busy. It is just with different things. I stated that based on envy, not comparison of volume!

[@sivur]

@lgold you can be busy. Just not busy cleaning up shit and vomit and spilled food and dealing with tantrums and all the bullshit that kids come with. Don't play yourself.

[@sivur]

@lgold it's pretty easy and laid back! Although I do worry about regretting it later in life, so my snide comment to you was merely a projection of my insecurities regarding having kids. Sorry about that.

[@itissavage]

Wait, you mean you don't just travel with 4 of your Pakt travel bags? Just used one on a trip and am loving it! Side note, don't listen to Jeff...hair looks great! Great vid, as always!

[@elioty8273]

Best vid ! I’m a fan ! Just purchased shimoda design Action x30.. unfortunately couldnt use your link since I order from canada. But thanks !! And keep making dope vids Can’t wait to check out your Podcast ! Peace

[@dannyg4209]

amazing music!

[@milansimo19]

Keep dat hair growin!

[@WilliamWallis]

Great looking family.

[@JamieEyre]

Wow. That’s a lot of stuff. We travel in a Honda Fit with no roof rack.

[@rebeccaw9656]

That time our last road trip was in a packed out family sedan and not an SUV - and we still overpacked😂. Meaning, everywhere had a washing machine, and we didn’t wear half our packed bags. Next time we’ll pack more matterfully...

[@ThePESpecialist]

"Step into the storm... regulate and step into uncertainty with a little bit of hope..." Such great life advice - love your videos bro, keep it up!

[@peterlin7407]

Yup! the video is such a gem, filled with bits-n-pieces of life wisdom and advice really from start to end.

[@sky.london]

Came for a packing video. Walked away with a changed life. Standard Chase video 🤘😜🤘

[@crazywisdom2]

I'd like to see you do a vid. If you could only take 1 bag ( backpack ) for a 1 week-1month trip ; which bag would it be ? OR ....... What is your favorite bag ( backpack ) ? thanks ! = )

[@jorgegomez7675]

Chase, you beautiful bastard. How did you know I needed this video? It’s like you knew I was planning on going on a road trip with kids soon.

[@simonnew2272]

are we surprised that chase has *bars*?? that opening song was rock solid

[@brianlbehan]

One of your best Chase. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!

[@ThisRightSideUp]

One of your best, Chase. Pertinent to much more than travelling. Cheers!

[@sergiosala]

Damn, Chase. I don't have kids but I'm in the 30s finally and this video just made me think it maybe the right time... specially if I can travel with them.

[@aronkatz]

having a tough time here and i really like your vids. please PLEASE tell me what is the name of the song on 10:27?

[@chasereeves]

I made that one. I guess it’s called “the song I made on the melodica for the family packing video.”

[@toreinarrogn8225]

9:34 - Did you change beat intentionally at "kids"? That was so suttle and yet so cool 👍🏼 I'm a musician and love how you mix in music to these vidoes! 🎵

[@peterlin7407]

Awesome video! This is my 3rd time watching after a year. I’m also in mid-life situation with three kids and all, so defintely relate and concur to all of your points. I find your trip suggestions very practical and thoughtful, keeping it real while returning to the core of why going on a family trip and how to facilitate such purpose with the right tool setup and mindset. Lots of KZbin minimalist travelers tend to over-emphasize form vs. function and become tool-centric, neglecting the human interaction and relationship connection aspect. Great job! You music selection and pacing in video was superbly executed, really on another level!

[@deadlymatter2020]

Hi I'm loving these videos you're making. You make extremely informative bags reviews which are actually fun to watch. there's the bag that you have not reviewed in fact nobody has. Open Story travel backpack. I believe you'd be surprised on the uncompromised features that this particular bag has. Keep doing your thing can't wait to see the next one

[@hannesskirgard]

This is one of the best videos chase has made.

[@RockyMountainGearTester]

Great video! What’s the small Green Day bag in your hand at 8:26ish?

[@chasereeves]

Boundary supply tech kit. Not out yet. Stay tuned. Check my “tech pouches” video.

[@edanirz]

Your approach to life is so cool, bro. Not to mention you have a great personality and great quality videos. I'd love to do this with my kids if I ever have some on my own lol. I discovered you when I was looking for a travel backpack, ended up with a goruck and a tortuga. But I found myself watching videos of stuff I don't even plan on buying, and that's because those little glimpses of wisdom and wholesomeness, not really about the gear. Keep that up. Peace.

[@eguillen1386]

Great video! Given the current pandemic and money being tight, do you know of any online communities where you can buy and sell gently used bags? Any info is greatly appreciated.

[@euartista]

Even though you had so many organizing stuff, just listening and watching this I am stress for you and your family.

[@brad2king]

Man this video makes so much sense on so many levels! Totally dope vid man!!! Thank you!

[@Atom-James]

Great video. I hope you continue living your best life.

[@AP-lh1bq]

Chase Reeves, like salad for your life. It’s just good for you.

[@tommyadams1640]

Love this video from the get go We're hitting the road tomorrow Cheers

[@jeffone]

I understand and share your passion for travel. Well done sir!

[@smoothbeak]

I love the way you have raised your family, your kids are fortunate to have you and your wife!

[@dttenorio]

Hey man, what was the green pouch you pulled out of the GR1?

[@michaelhurd8942]

Alot of wisdom in this video - thanks

[@gingleb3792]

Big fan of the Thule song

[@gonefishingapodaca]

I don't know if it was because the hair was down, but i felt like Jesus was talking to me... the Church of Chase. Always enjoy your vids!

[@chasereeves]

Shalom.

[@amandaring2128]

Hey...is your wife into the barefoot/ minimalist shoe thing? If so could you talk her into giving us her recs for shoes? Thanks for the video your family is so cute!

[@chasereeves]

Lems and Vivos. (Use my links if u can)

[@jasonnowwhat5041]

Hats off to you Chase, the lifestyle you live and still pump out videos AND doing it while traveling with your wife and kiddos. Wow. What’s my excuse again? Exactly.

[@racemode]

I started following you because of a PD Sling bag review. Your content if real life... Nice work!

[@awkwarddog88]

Good God, I’m just glad I stumbled upon you awhile back. Your hair looks luxurious. I appreciate the way you live. Daydreaming about what to do with my Pakt + CR backpack here shortly and loving the content. Thanks buddy!

[@ariannadominguez8162]

You are such a good communicator, I often just watch your videos to hear you speak english and have some fun :D Btw, gorgeous hair and beautiful family. Congrats!

[@ttanke]

Please rewiew the new 2020 Dakine URBN Mission 23L. It's a solid upgrade from the previous one at a similar price range :)

[@svelasco85]

Fucking awesome!!! Brilliant!!!

[@margeanderson2918]

Your hair! You would make a fine merman.

[@Brandon-0028]

I don't know what I just saw, but it was pretty great. You'll have to share how you've managed to avoid the damn wagon. Oh I hate the wagon. So much room; the wagon.

[@bobster00123]

Thanks for making this video Chase! Very insightful and informative buddy. Stay safe

[@robertingelhart7885]

Hey you were in Grand Junction. Did you see any BH sheep on your obligatory trip over the Colorado National Monument?

[@youssefqassem]

Love this video, maybe because now I found someone facing what I am facing on reality with the same struggles... So creative keep it up my friend👍👍👍

[@riccistead4610]

Exactly the type of info I needed.

[@peerimnetz]

chase, just in case you don't know (which i can hardly believe), there are bag sets especially for roof boxes. just ask your favorite search engine.

[@pttthhh]

Just want to say, we decided against the Ascent and bought a Sienna minivan and it's the best choice we've ever made.. I'm team minivan now. So nice and versatile, comfortable..

[@slandshark]

We sold our Pathfinder and got a Pacifica Hybrid minivan. Now we are thinking of selling the Pacifica and going back to SUV with a new Ascent. It's been 8 months since your comment, are you still liking the Sienna?

[@pttthhh]

@@slandsharkAscent is great, but we definitely Still love the Sienna. Everything would feel like a downgrade going to an SUV, even in the looks department because I think the Sienna looks BA.

[@zzguimme]

Hi, thanks for this video. Helps me a lot. Little question on the side: which bag is that one at 00:49?

[@parkatip]

Music a bit too loud as you speak

[@davidskibinski7852]

Get a glass water bottle dude.

[@2ndexodusmove]

Movement is life

[@tudo91]

Perfect video!!

[@davidrosenblatt8335]

just joined email. thank you for all your work and talents :)

[@jeffreystevens]

you look well, chase. nice and healthy. and happy.

[@MrJoelCollins]

Great stuff as always! So have you had any leakage problems with the roof box, or do you have to put stuff up there that you don't care if it gets wet?

[@chasereeves]

No leakage problems at all. Can be fussy to close up when over packed, so over time I’ve packed it with slightly less.

[@ALifeMoreLight]

You’re doing it right, brother.

[@HelenSab]

You're getting better every video! Great content!

[@retrovelcro]

I'm ready for a chase album

[@chasereeves]

There was one once.

[@KevinConwell23]

I have to assume that the long curls only help you stay regulated in everything that is thrown your way.

[@chasereeves]

My first line of defense.

[@georgia4708]

Love the style of this video! Well done!

[@mattm4234]

Loved that last cup sponsored video.

[@sng2225]

Embrace the Chaos with Chase 🙂

[@rodrigomolina5912]

QUALITY! love the vid

[@nitsan]

Thoughts on going vegan? I always thought you'd be the kind of guy who's into philosophy and ethics and stuff.

[@chasereeves]

Was vegan for a long time. No longer.

[@martan9000]

Love the beats!

[@JimAlaska49]

Wait til your kids get bigger... you'll need a bigger vehicle.

[@timothysalinas37]

Road trip game MY SIDE: each person uses their side to collect points. Cows 1, horses/sheeps/goats/deer 2, lama 10, all white horse 20. Pass a cemetary (your dead) no point collection for 5 min. Pass a hospital within the 5 min saves you. Pass a church earn double for 2 min. Pass an airport earn both sides points for 2 min. Rules: you earn only what you see/count. Winner at destination, can only swap sides during stops only. Feel free to add objects, buildings, other animals as you'd like! It helps to use pen and paper for long trips to keep count. Otherwise, Cheers have fun!!!

[@chasereeves]

Lol, this great.

[@Autumn1988]

How do you store your big bag collection while on the road? To you retain a permanent base?

[@chasereeves]

Right now in boxes in storage. But soon we're landing in a new long term home base.

[@foxsdream]

That water refill is plastic. I hope you've told your wife.

[@chasereeves]

Lol! You’re paying attention :)

[@foxsdream]

@@chasereeves I try. XP I'm new to your channel. Did I hear correctly in one of your other vids that you lived in SD?

[@JeffJacquesmd]

Hey bud, it might be time to cut your hair. Just sayin. Also lovely vid. But, cut your hair, k? Samson was just a story

[@chasereeves]

but... my strength...

[@HeathArmstrong]

Don’t do it bro.

[@kellystinnett5512]

Chase... You are ROCKIN’ the hair, man.... it looks great. You’ll know when it’s time!!
