The Best Slings for Travel and EDC

[@nnajj01]

I’m a Travelon lady while on vacation. Home I carry Lug bags.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Travelon is a great brand! I have not used Lug before. Thank you for sharing!🙏😊❤️

[@ChericeByler]

Prayers for you. I am a 2-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor. I can tell you are a strong and determined lady. You’ve got this!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! From one strong lady to another, we both got this!🙏🩷😊

[@MaggieValera]

Little pocket in back of the first black sling the one that had the gold trim, it's a concealed carry pocket. The heavier strap would be to compensate for the weight.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Ahh! Good to know! Thanks for letting us know that, Maggie! ❤️🙏😊

[@sonyavs455]

OMGosh the watch chat was so funny! They are always listening! LOL So enjoying your videos. Thank you. On a personal note - so very sorry for your recent diagnosis. You have such a wonderful positive attitude- that will serve you very well. Prayers for your full recovery. 🙏

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Sonya! I swear that watch has a mind of its own. Truly appreciate your thoughts and good wishes and I’m definitely going to be taking charge of my health much more now.🙏❤️😊

[@manie9689]

[@suewolf3279]

The interaction with your telephone with so doggone funny. My laugh of the day and I needed it

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Sue! I swear that watch has a mind of its own😂🤣

[@CarolinaCanada]

Loved “hey men, you need to carry your own things” 👍🤣 such a true comment!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Lol! Women have always been the one to carry the diaper bags and purses for everything! It’s time for men to carry their own weight😊😉❤️

[@BloomByCC]

Love that little lightweight sling and zipper pouches. That little unisex tumi is $275!!!

[@TheoryofSimple]

I know! That is crazy expensive! I know it’s quality material, but I just cannot justify buying something like that!

[@barbarawright8956]

I like all your bags. I couldn’t pick out the only one.

[@SenterStuff61]

That’s funny! Siri had just done the same thing on my iPad while watching this video. Then your watch did it! Crazy! I am also a bag lady. Love them! All sizes! All shapes!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you🙏😊 Lol! These devices are always listening to us😂 that’s why I keep talking to my phone, telling the software engineers to regression tester software better🤣😂🤣

[@rosalindcherryscott3261]

I love the mini unfolding bag, I have to have one. I love watching your channel. I get so many great ideas for my trips. I always travel with my sister we cruise a lot! We arrive early and get hotel rooms, I thought I was safe until I watched your video, and you opened my eyes about hidden dangers and staying safe in hotels while traveling. Thanks, I will be using as many of your tips and will feel safer as we travel on our next adventure through the Mediterranean 3 back to back cruises starting November. With stays in Venice Italy and Miami Florida being our 3rd cruise is Transatlantic 42 days at sea, with many stops in-between. Spending time in Tampa FL visiting family before heading back home to Chicago. Being retired, I'm blessed I get to travel with my sister so many places around the world. My husband doesn't want to go, his line is, "Can't you go with your sister?" . He's a retired Navy man and civilian sailing on ships, not his thing 😅. I'll let you know how it goes. My niece and husband are 1st time cruisers (July). I've already referred them to your channel.

[@TheoryofSimple]

I’m so glad you are getting some great hacks for my videos and using them for what sounds like a remarkable adventure with your sister! As soon as I can return to travel, I am ready to go on another big adventure as well! Thank you so much for watching my channel and recommending me! Your support is truly appreciated🙏❤️😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@Travelbug6543 I’ve heard great things about that pack, safe backpack so I’m gonna have to take a look at it! Excited for you to go to Ireland. What a beautiful country.😊🙏❤️

I am flying from LAX to Fort Lauderdale on Spirit. I am planning on carrying my Vera Bradley campus backpack as my only piece of luggage. I am hopeful that I can fit everything inside but it's going to be interesting. Thank you for your videos, they are inspiring.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Wow! That is challenging! No Luggage? How long will you be staying? Let us know how it goes! 😊

[@michelebullock9867]

I still like your original quilted tan bag. This video side by side comparison was so very well done and informative. Succinct. You anticipates all my questions. Thanks for all your effort.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Michelle❤️ I love that Steve Madden sling and I wish I could find it again. If I ever do find one similar, I will definitely put that out of my channel and get a link to everyone.!🙏😊❤️

[@deetee5156]

Love your style ABS the way present yourself. Hope you get thru kidney troubles. Wishing you the best.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Jeanne! I take that hero clip with me every single day! And I’m hoping that this new diet and exercise plan is keeping me healthy enough to glow😁❤️🙏

[@tammy7759]

I feel like I’m a bag lady as well!! I have multiple sizes of the mesh bags and love them for edc and travel. I take a packable backpack pouch on trips and love a crossbody or small sling for the plane as well as a large tote for under seat. Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear of your kidney disease! I was typing this when you mentioned it😢I offer my prayers for both you and David🙏🏻🙏🏻My favorite bag in video is the convertible black one. It’s dressy enough for an evening out😀Thank you for all of your wonderful content!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Tammy! I also carry a pack up a backpack almost every time I travel just so I have something in case I want to take a day hike. I also love that black convertible, backpack and that’s the one I’m keeping along with the foldable one.😊🙏❤️ you can never have too many bags🤣😂 Thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes and truly appreciate your feedback on my videos.🙏❤️

[@littlegertie]

I love the idea of a packable bag. Although, I would choose the Osprey sling. Prayers for you and David.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Charlotte! We are starting to both feel better and get a control of our blood sugars and blood pressure😊🙏❤️

[@joycemoore6949]

I like packing lighter and leaner, but honestly, I just need more things than most people. I must be able to add a bottle of water. I’d also like my sling to be my daily purse,so it needs to look nice. God bless you with good health! I enjoy your well thought out videos.

[@TheoryofSimple]

I agree if you 100% and I do have a new sling/waist pack that I carry that looks amazing and is really slims what hides well when you need to board the plane with it so I’ll be doing a video on that in the next couple of weeks💕😊

[@CynStone]

I also was shocked when i got the Stage 3 news ! You have a strong CAN DO attitude. 🏆 You just reminded me that i need to work on an improved diet. BIG HUG ! Cynthia 🌷 Texas

[@TheoryofSimple]

I’m so glad you are focusing on your health! It’s the one thing we need to enjoy the rest of the other adventures in life! 🙏❤️🙏

[@suewolf3279]

I hope you're feeling better. I hope David is too.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you Sue we are both feeling better now that we’re taking better care of our health🙏❤️

[@lindadunham286]

Pray you feel better.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Linda! I haven’t feeling better. I attribute that to changing my diet and getting in some daily exercise.. but also I’m sleeping so much better on the new bed!

[@miss3perry1]

All of the bags are so cute I like them all ❤

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes, I think they are wonderful and I think I’m definitely keeping the packable one and the one with the gold zippers😊🙏❤️

[@deliacall4826]

😂😂😂 - I love that ur watch was trying to help you - lol! My favorites were the Osprey and also the fold up one. Both would be great for travel. Thanks for this video. @TheCrochetCrowd

[@TheoryofSimple]

Lol! Thank you so much!🙏❤️😊 I swear that watch has a mind of its own! 🤣😂 wishing you the best of luck in the giveaway!😊

[@joaniedaniel9889]

Get on the transplant list. Keep positive in all things. The kidney disease I understand it will seem frustrating watching your intake but your health will be better. Love your channel ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you, Joanie. I’ll check with my doctor, however, I don’t think you can get on the transplant list at stage three. 🙏❤️🙏

[@lisah8162]

I’ve been in search of an EDC sling for several months. I found a leather fancy one, but I’ve been looking for a lightweight (or lighter weight) one for more casual wear. Thanks for showing options!

[@TheoryofSimple]

I’m so happy you found this video helpful and maybe hopefully found your next great lightweight pack. I used to use leather all the time as well because it’s very adorable but I did find it to be heavy and whenever I got wet in the rain it just started to be stained. Let me know which one you get 😊🙏❤️

[@angelaconrad365]

I have gained SO much from your channel! I have bought SO many things from your recommendations and my recent cruise to Alaska was so much better thanks to your channel. Something you might want to check out is biaggi bags and their packing cubes and Norwex products that may help you with getting your cleaning products you take downsized a bit! Norwex is wonderful and so healthy to use for your body and the environment! I hope these two items help you! Also as far as your health look into a naturopath to help heal your body naturally as it will help detox your body! Best wishes! I hope your health is improving and you are doing better!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Angela!! Truly appreciate your feedback, and your support of my channel 💕😊 I’m definitely going to check out the Norwex and Biaggi items! I’m feeling pretty good these days, and doing a lot of walking, which I think is helping quite a bit!

[@karidufur8908]

You look great! Hope you're feeling better. Thanks again for your great info!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much I’m definitely feeling so much better already! It’s amazing what some changes and diet and exercise can do😊🙏❤️

[@janiceriner2444]

Thank you Eunice. RFDI item ideas would be a great video. Take care.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hi Janice! Thank you so much I think that’s a great idea! I’ll definitely be putting that on the roster for videos🙏❤️

[@preservinghistory1766]

I am so very sorry you and your partner are going thru major health issues. My prayers are with you. Thank you for being so open about it. Prayer can move mountains. Thank you for great practical videos on travel accessories, even it its just for EDC items , shopping, walking, what to always have in car… you have given very good advice!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, and I’m so happy that my videos are providing some useful content, and hopefully a little entertainment. All of the thoughts and prayers from you and everyone I really boosting us and we do feel the energy.🙏❤️🙏 Thank you so much.😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Helen! I am so happy you’re going to be traveling to Italy in September. What a wonderful time of year to be there.❤️🙏😊

[@marshamcauliffe6064]

My favorite of the new slings is the packable bag. I love that it can be tucked away in my carry on and available when I need it. I'm headed to Africa in May and have been watching your videos daily. You & David are in my prayers. Your health is the priority!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Marsha! I love that packable folding sling as well! It’s just nice to have a little something to talk away if you want to have it on a trip and it doesn’t take up much space! I hope you have a wonderful trip to Africa and I hope these hacks help you pack exactly what you need😊🙏❤️

[@Iloveabargain]

Love your videos, Eunice. I would use the Packable Lightweight Sling for traveling. It is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for this video.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! I did end up keeping that pack of a lightweight sling and I’m bringing it on my next trip😊💕

I love that little black bag with the zippers that meet in the middle. The other bag I'm loving is the one that folds up into itself. The rest are great just not for me. Thanks for showing all of these. I've been binging your EDC videos. You are amazing at getting the most into small spaces.🤩

I usually use a RFID Vera Bradley bag, but really liked the Baggallini with the gold hardware. Prayers on you and David's health issues.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! 🙏 we’re in it together and we’re going to get healthy! Yeah, I love that black and gold Baggallini one as well! Since I carry an RFID wallet, I figure this is good enough and I also carry an RF ID passport holder so that way if I travel, everything is protected, no matter which bag I switch them into😊❤️

What a wonderful reminder that a sensible bag can be fashionable too! I do not need to enter because I have a similar bag I have from Eddie Bauer's that I got 70% off. (Ended being only $7.20) Like the one that folds into itself. I'm taking a train trip to a far off place for a week and will be on foot most of the time and will be taking my sling bag. Thanks for the videos and wishing you and David happy healthy days ahead!

[@TheoryofSimple]

I love it when I get a good bargain like that! I don’t know why that makes me so happy that you found that but it does! Wishing you the best of luck on your train trip! I was supposed to be on a train trip now, but with our health issues, we have to get that set an a good foundation first and then I’ll start traveling again😊🙏❤️ Thank you so much for your well wishes and prayers.🙏❤️🙏

Yes, I love that tan quilted bag and I wish I could find it but it’s just no longer being made.

Great video. I like the packable sling, but may stick with something I already have. I am a bag lady too, and have lots to choose from... Those little pouches seem really handy to have too. Can never have too many bags, even if they're little... lol.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! 🙏 I have a little bags to just organize things, and I have to say those colors make me happy! And you’re right, you can never have too many bags😂❤️

I love my Ameribags! I have a medium size and a large one. Super comfortable to wear, lots of great pockets, and looks nice. I had both bags for over a decade and they are still in good shape.

I like the option of the backpack. I was sorry to hear about your diagnosis. As you fight CDK we will be pulling for you to stop the progression in its tracks.

Congrats on the new subscription milestone!! Your videos are so useful, I'm sure more people would subscribe if they found your channel. I keep sending friends to you 🙂 This is a great comparison video, of the options here, I like your quilted EDC and I could see myself using the packable one for travel. Those little mesh bags are great too. I have purchased a few sling bags over the years, usually at Marshall's or TJ Maxx. However, it is not a style that works very well for me. Partly because in the winter, they don't work very well with a heavy coat, and in summer it's just so humid and sticky here I can't stand something that big sitting on the trunk of my body. We have about 6 days a year when the weather is ideal! I have a ridiculous amount of Vera Bradley bags, and I do love the way they look, but I find that what works best for me as an EDC is the Kipling Alvar cross body bag. I call it my "Tardis bag" because it is so small and flat on the outside, I can wear it under a light jacket and you'd never guess I am wearing a bag. But I can fit a wholly ridiculous amount inside it. And the organization is phenomenal. Glad to hear David is doing so well, and sending healing energy your way every day. You got this girl!! @ Travel Tips by Laurie

Thank you so much, Jen! I love Kipling and so now I’m gonna have to look up that bag. Like I need another bag🤣😂 thank you so much for your continued prayers for both David and I and as always I truly appreciate your feedback.🙏❤️😊

Loved the little mesh bags I’ve ordered some. I shared this video with Kirsten and a couple of other friends who travel. I watched you little toiletries pack but I just couldn’t bring myself to get mine that small lol.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thanks, Karen! Those little mesh bags come in a couple of different sizes as well. The ones I show are the smallest ones.. the reason why I carry a little tiny toiletries bag like that is I’ve just spent so much time in the hospital in the last year like 36 hours and I just wanted to clean up sometimes. So it’s a great little thing to have for my purse but I am going to be doing a Toiletries bag video soon!

Lately, I've been using the Orvis Tough Trail sling pack. I thrifted mine, so I didn't originally realize that it's designed for dog walking. I don't have a dog. I have been enjoying using it. I also like that the inside is bright blue. The outside of mine is orange but they currently have a pretty shade of blue on the website.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much for sharing that bag with us! I know a lot of times bags are meant for certain things, but I always feel like if it works for whatever you’re using it for than that’s fine to use! 😊🙏❤️

[@GG-dq6dx]

I like a couple of those for different applications. Thanks for the great overview of each! I will be looking at what I have a consider upgrading. Thanks!

[@TheoryofSimple]

I know, right? It’s so hard to choose! Let us know which one you decided on🙏❤️😊

[@anne-marie896]

I liked the packable sling. I find that if I use the travel bag ahead of time that I get used to what's what and where I put it. I can also make modifications before my actual travel. Sending prayers for you and David.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Anne-Marie you and I are very similar! I like to take anything new that I’m traveling with and use it for a day just to see how well it works in my every day use and that includes clothing and shoes as well! I remember once I went to Europe, and I bought a new pair of shoes and boy was I sorry! I had a huge blisters and thank goodness. My mom brought a pair comfortable shoes that I could wear for the trip but I learned a very valuable lesson and then.🙏😊❤️

[@amyfentress1]

I love your content! Thank you for sharing about what & how you pack for trips. I have so many great ideas to use! I’m also really happy to hear that your partner, David, is doing so much better. The bag that I liked the most was the Osprey sling bc I’m a hiker and if I’m on vacation somewhere, I’m also hiking.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much, Amy! That now has spark another video in my head. Best backpacks or slings to take if you’re a hiker.! I hike all the time, so I have so many different backpacks and slings but it’s something that you want to be able to packed out small while traveling so watch out for that video coming soon! Thanks for sparking that idea in my head🙏❤️😊

[@Jappy1981]

I love the look of the Baggalini sling, and that it converts to carry as a backpack. I kind of wish there was a combo with that and the Mosiso quilted one. It's so awesome that a viewer did some legwork on other options, since your original EDC is no longer available.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes, I like features of all of these bags, and I wish I could marry several of them together and make my own hybrid bag! And as soon as I find one that I absolutely love, I will bring it to you. if you find one that you love if you would bring it to us we would love it.! 😊🙏❤️

I got the Pacsafe back pack as it's nice and a good size for travelling. it's made of Stainless steel mesh, has locks and you can chain it to items for safety. Has water bottle holders on both sides and it's comfortable.
