The Ultimate Digital Nomad Packing List V2 | 80 Essentials For Minimalist Carry On Travel

[@laurenmaternowski]

What’s your favorite piece of gear on this packing list? ✈🎒🗺

[@eileahfrye-edmonds413]

The hero clip! I actually own one it’s one of my daily essentials!

[@vixencronol1066]

Pixy Mini and InchargeX perfect combo

[@geckolabz8599]

Pixy Mini and Matador flatpak definitely top of my list. Pixy Mini is just insanely compact i don't even realize that I'm carrying it sometimes

[@tyraunrick8389]

Just received my Pixy Mini from their Kickstarter campaign and its amazing! The photos and videos doesn't do it justice! Its so tiny

[@bixby451]

Heroclip, Tom Bihn 3D Organizer Cube and Matador Flatpak :)

[@roxyragamuffin]

I just stumbled upon this and saw the title of 80 essentials for a...minimalist. EIGHTY. For a MINIMALIST. I laughed until I cried. Thank you! 🤣

[@elviscio83]

All in black colour. Great to use during you secrets missions if you are batman :D

[@walkingman636]

We've had Darn Tough socks for over 5 yrs now and love them. Even have done a replacement pair w/ no issues, the warranty is true.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

The rain jacket can be the most important cold weather piece. The wool works incredibly well as insulation if there's no wind. The rain jacket allows the wool to work it's magic.

[@zachbennett]

I love the Field Notes notebook. I never thought I'd find enough need to carry a notebook, but after having one and carrying it every day I use it far more than expected. Video ideas, to-do lists, packing list ideas and ideas for making my own gear! Simply great to be able to jot those down on paper as soon as they enter your head.

[@PackHacker]

Well said, Zach! It's easy to forget how useful a small notebook can be with today's technology, but they come in clutch for traveling. - Austin

[@Booyamakashi]

Hint: You have your phone to write things down.

[@C1024R]

Is the fitting of a Nintendo Switch a new standard of measurement? 😭

[@HipposHateWater]

Wait you mean we've moved on from game boys and cartridges?

[@quentin6893]

Well, people want now to have some fun during the road or plane flight so the Switch can be a standard size enjoyment device.

[@jenelopebean]

Yes, yes it is. Its called the Ninten-tric System!

[@lanceklein2746]

Also gotta say that I love the little “sidebar” moments - nice to see more geeky content interspersed within the more polished script.

[@PackHacker]

Glad you like it, Lance! Tom had a lot of fun doing those. - Austin

[@efragione]

ive been watching your videos for years and i have to say, the production value has come a long way! it was always good, but it really stands out now. from the product shots, to shots of Tom using the gear, to the way the products are fanned out on the top down camera angle. i could go on... great job and awesome video!

[@PackHacker]

Our videographer Ahmad and editor Maria do great work! Thank you for all of your kind words 😃 They mean the world to us! -Eric

[@MarieVaugn]

The laptop stand looks nice, thanks for the recommendations! My personal must-have item to pack is my HomeFi hotspot. I travel around the US a lot, and it's been super reliable and I prefer using my hotspot to insecure public networks. Thanks for the video.

[@rachelsomers7842]

Another home-run video by Pack Hacker! :-D So far I can count 9 specific things from the list that I’ve adopted to my travel kit because of PH: Kikkerland travel adapter, Victorinox nail clippers, Matador flatpak soap bar case, crystal deodorant (although I use a different brand), Heroclip, Vapur water bottle, Buff USA wool buff, Smartwool liner gloves, and the Nite ize s-biner microlock. All of them have been great additions!

[@PackHacker]

Wow, Rachel-that's some great iteration to your kit! Thanks for being a Pro member! - Austin

[@gregorykong]

I've been making good use of my Heroclip for a few years now, but my latest favorite gear from this list is the Roost V3 laptop stand, which I got thanks to your video on it. I really appreciate its polished design honed over several years and iterations, and I will hope to use it for years to come! It's also kinda fun to just open and shut repeatedly, like a big fidget toy...

[@studiosin5230]

[@PackHacker]

😆 glad you enjoyed the video! - Austin

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

The strap management of aer sling looks so good

[@DNAtraveling]

I am a big fan of the channel, and you have some fantastic reviews. I do struggle with this list as after a quick look and run down you are looking at Roughtly £3500, and that's excluding the Laptop and Phone. This isn't an achievable figure for many people and for the most part makes one bag travel seem out of the realm for most... for future videos, it would be great to see low price alternative as I can tell you as someone currently traveling for 2 years, my gear didn't cost that much including all my tech ( as a travel photographer so not cheap stuff). I would rather spend less than a £1000 on gear, and spend the remaining 2500 on the travel. and I know this is a great place to start for most people, but I worry it might scare people off when they look at a t-shirt and it cost that much ( for example). Great video as always thought,.

[@PackHacker]

Hey D.N.A. Travel! Our intention with this video is to display what we think are some of the best products to pack for long-term travel. As we mention, it's not realistic to buy everything at once, but rather upgrade pieces as one travels and gains experience. Check out our budget packing list on the site and a couple of other budget-focused videos! packhacker.com/packing-list/budget/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/haWlgZilpJxgoMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Wnn39pn7eIj6c& - Tom

[@attentioncestpaslegal7847]

I also wonder about the total weight of those 80 items.

[@CeeMKE]

Great point. Personally I’ll use this as a guide but pack my bags using my items that fit my own budget and style. You can find less costly alternatives to almost all of this. I use Knack Bags and Goruck (costly bags but I’ll splurge on that) and go less costly on other stuff.

[@CoreyVanLone]

The NOMATIC wallet is awesome... super slim and compact, but still stores a ton of cards if needed and has quick access to your #1 card.

[@PackHacker]

Glad you like it too, Corey! Thanks for sharing your experience! - Austin

[@Izzy-we7hr]

Thank you mate, best video for digital nomads I have ever seen.

[@PackHacker]

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for checking it out, Andrew! We’re glad you made it here 😃 -Eric

[@jimmyryan5880]

I used to carry an eithernet cable but never used it once going to nearly 30 countries. This one surprised me.

[@GameChangerGadgets-2]

Wow, this video is a treasure trove of must-have travel gadgets! As an avid traveler, I'm always on the lookout for innovative tools to enhance my journeys, and this list has truly nailed it. From the compact portable charger to the multifunctional travel pillow, I'm already adding these items to my wishlist. Thanks for the fantastic recommendations, you've made my future trips even more exciting and convenient. Keep up the great content, and happy travels to everyone!" ✈🌎🎒

[@PackHacker]

Thanks for watching! 😃 -Eric

[@Bri4nG]

This a great video. Its the guy version of what's in my bag video's.

[@zwheels654]

My mobile tech setup is very similar! Though I haven't had the opportunity to travel with it yet. If you were to swap out your power bank with an Anker Mag Go, you could theoretically remove the lightning cable and the phone tripod if you wanted. Then it becomes a desktop wireless charger for your phone and Airpods. I'd probably also swap the Roost Stand and the Matador Base Layer with a MOFT Sleeve, which is my favorite. I'm also partial to the Waterfield Designs Gear pouch because it can hold my keyboard along with all of my other tech. It might not save space per-say, but I'm a huge fan of the all-in-oneness. Lastly, if you're just using the Thunderbolt dock to plug into eithernet, I'd look into a travel router. It's way more secure than plugging directly into someone else's network, and you get more range. Obviously, this wouldn't work for everyone, but that kit is my favorite, personally. I don't get to take it much farther than the coffee shop very often, but I have a feeling it will travel well when I have the opportunity.

[@PackHacker]

Really solid recommendations-thanks for sharing, Zach! - Austin

[@lorenzolungo2]

Do you have any recommendations for a travel router?

[@mapmaes]

Great guide! Also cool seeing all of the Phoenix and Arizona spots as a local

[@bellananicmorgan]

If I have to pick one favorite on the list, it would be the AirPods Pro. I have ADHD, so focusing can be really hard for me, particularly in a noisy environment. The noise cancellation for these is on point, and it lets me focus when I need to, but I can turn it off with a long press if I need to hear what's going on around me - like outside walking to the store. And as an added bonus, the live listen feature is phenomenal. I have tinnitus, so the ability to cancel out background sounds when I'm in a bar with friends is incredible. They're tiny, versatile, and work well in the Apple ecosystem, so I can switch pretty seamlessly between my Macbook and my iPhone with no issue. TOTALLY love them.

[@PackHacker]

Totally agree, Bellana! Even ten years ago, it was hard to imagine traveling without headphones, and today's technology makes them more useful than ever. - Austin

[@MariNate1016]

Just updated my kit. Grabbed the peak design 45L travel bag, new carry on and some other goodies.

[@PackHacker]

How do you like them so far? -Eric

[@antonbraeckevelt]

LOVED the video! By far my favorite item from this packing list is the Matador FlatPak Soapbar Case. I have been using it every day for nearly 3 years now. It adapts to whatever size of soap I have inside of it, it holds up great, and it’s functional, too!

[@PackHacker]

Good choice, Anton! So happy you enjoyed the video! - Austin

[@viktor.egelund]

How colorful.

[@evangantley6276]

Really thoughtful, seems you would be prepared for anything with this setup.

[@PackHacker]

Thanks, Evan! Glad you think so! - Austin

[@eileahfrye-edmonds413]

Wanted to add another option for the flashlight I have an Olight i1r2 eos you can get a pro version that uses usb-c and is super compact and keychain size. It also has different lumen settings. 🤙🏼 love the videos as always. I don’t airplane travel much but I do a lot of road trips and your videos help me minimize what I carry for those. Love seeing the evolution of what you all recommend to carry. Have a great day!

[@PackHacker]

Great tip with the Olight, Eileah! Compact & USB-C charging really is the best. I'll pass along your rec to the editorial team! - Austin

[@johnanderson02]

Soooo...my favorite ITEM from the Packing List....I gotta go with the Roost Laptop Stand. As someone who uses his like crazy I see the versatility in that design. Plus I LOVE the fact that it folds down to practically nothing! My favorite BAG is the Aer Travel Pack 3. My wife uses the Aer system in X-Pac and is a dyed in the wool believer. I used her Aer Travel Pack recently on a trip to Boston....I was in love. I may make the switch to Aer stuff in my rotation and spread the gospel of Aer wherever I go.

[@PackHacker]

Great choices, John! It's fun to be able to test out new brands and figure out what works best for you. The Roost Stand and Travel Pack 3 are excellent travel companions. - Austin

Hello you all my name is Victor, I’m Venezuelan living in Colombia, and I really like all of your videos and posts, sorry in advance if my English is not the best onI have been an AER fan for quite a while, I purchased the City Sling 1, the Tech Kit X-Pac and then the Day Pack 2 X-pac, so keeping the trend, from the Digital Nomad packing list I really liked the Are Travel Pack 3, as their Day Sling. But so far my favorite item of the list is the Patagonia Nano Puff, I been looking forward to buy a nice jacket, and this one seems the perfect one to me.

[@PackHacker]

Great choice, Victor! The Nano Puff is a great jacket. We've been testing ours for years and found it to be very reliable. - Austin

[@Dragonblaster1]

I used to travel constantly for business, and will be doing so again soon. As I always have my work laptop and work kit in my carry-on, I need my tech bag to fit under the seat in front.

[@gvfermo4238]

The heroclip is awesome! Such a simple and small item; yet so useful. I love having the heroclip with me whenever I need to hook my bag somewhere (ex. airport washrooms) :)

[@PackHacker]

Totally agree! Thanks for sharing, Gilbert! - Austin

[@stefankrause2871]

I have several items that are on the list, but my favorite has to be the Heroclip. It's just so practical and so useful in many situations. As others have mentioned, it is a lifesaver when you need to hang up a bag in a public bathroom.

[@PackHacker]

Totally agree, Stefan! No more having to put your bag on a dirty bathroom floor. - Austin

[@bartlanc]

The Roost v2 Laptop Stand that I’ve got since 2016 has been a helpful to improve my posture and ergonomic while working with a laptop, and it’s still sturdy to this day. I may upgrade to the v3 once I can find someone in my life that can use my current one.

[@PackHacker]

Excellent choice, Art! Using a laptop stand to improve posture can make a big difference over time, especially when hopping from country to country and working remotely. - Austin

[@spence7]

My favorite piece of gear is the buff because I have it as well and it quite helpful to cut down on wind and adds an external layer. If anyone skis it’s a thin neck gaiter so I immediately saw value in it.

[@PackHacker]

Definitely! We love the versatility and definitely recommend one for skiing-it will save your face! - Austin

[@asoma64]

My favorite item is the MacBook pro. This computer can do it all and doesn't slow down. I love how it has HDMI ports and an sd slot. The best part is that it doesn't slow down, get hot, and you can use IOS apps on it. In addition, the battery life is fantastic. You can go three days without charging it.

[@PackHacker]

Can't be a digital nomad without the 'digital' part! Excellent choice, Anand! - Austin

[@chugeo7]

Vapur Eclipse water bottle is my favorite. Empty water bottles just take up space. Rolling it up just makes so much sense. Until you need it, it takes up minimal space.

[@PackHacker]

That's a great point. Thanks for sharing, Geoff! - Austin

[@GuidoAguiar]

Joby GripTight ONE Micro Stand is a great tool not only for in-flight entertainment, but also for buses, use on desk while working, lunch on office break, selfies on solo travel, timelapse and etc.

[@PackHacker]

Great shout, Guido! Its versatility is why we thought it would be a great addition to the DNPL. - Austin

[@MaxWar13]

My favorite item from this list is the Matador On-Grid Packable Backpack. I love the versatility of having a lightweight flexible backpack option that packs down small. I’m not a fan of slings/fannypacks, so a packable daypack is my go-to solution for carrying essential items while preserving my mobility. I always include a packable daypack in my travel duffle backpack regardless of my travel plans.

[@everdinacarter9737]

[@StefanoTerzolo]

One of the most complete packing list video I ever seen in the channel. Unfortunately some of these gears are not easily available here in Italy.

[@mandalorian2010]

Oh come on this is easy. Its the Aer Travel Pack 3 without a doubt. Newly designed I think this thing has a lot to offer. I like the water bottle holder is a little larger. The new zipper placement is going to be a LIFESAFER because I found myself often having to unbuckle the side straps just to open the zipper of the main compartment. Speaking of zippers, NOT a huge fan of the magnetic clips at all. I think a simple buckle would have done well and while I understand where Aer might have been going with this one, to make it more quickly accessible, I think that it falls short of the end goal. With 2 extra liters of room… I can finally bring that 2 liter of Mt Dew I have been saving! Overall, I LOVE the new design and I think this new back will quickly (and sadly) replace the Aer Travel Pack 2 I purchased back in December! But let me take a moment to also talk about the Unbound Merino shirts. If you are buying merino wool shirts from anywhere else, you are doing yourself wrong. Unbound is AMAZING. Possibly the softest shirts I have ever worn. I worn one for an entire month straight all the way from Rome to Istanbul and back to Plovdiv. It was pretty rough afterward and did require a lot of perfume and deodorant but you COULD NOT do that with a normal cotton shirt. Also their customer service came in clutch and emailed me about an order with a shift size they noticed didn’t match the rest of my order and I quickly responded and got that fixed. Otherwise it would have been a headache. They get MAD PROPS for that.

[@PackHacker]

This write-up is awesome! We also were really happy to see the new positioning of the compression straps, so they didn't get in the way of the zipper. Glad your Unbound Merino gear worked so well for you on your trip! - Austin

[@grahamplace2553]

Great video, thanks! The Hero clip is something I haven't seen before but looks super useful!

[@PackHacker]

Glad you liked the video, Graham! - Austin

[@Melgazar9]

I think you can replace those 3 power supplies / adapters with one universal power supply. I just bought the momax universal travel power supply. It has all of the adapters in one block and is also a power supply, at a reasonable price.

[@arcadiaaa1370]

AirTags can be great for if you lose your stuff or maybe if an airline loses it, but they don't work for thieves at all. My backpack was stolen recently and the thief was able to use the anti-stalking feature that AirTags have to pretty much immediately disable it. My AirPods were also in the bag, but they were dead so they were no help locating it either.

[@frogturtle]

I’d recommend the Leatherman Style PS multi-tool. It contains tweezers, the scissors can be used as nail clippers, and it has pliers which I find very helpful when I least expect it. It also has a bottle opener and file/screwdriver thingy. It’s crazy small and TSA compliant although some officers may think otherwise. I just think for the amount of functions it offers, it can replace the need to carry 3 or 4 individual tools, saving valuable space.

[@PackHacker]

We have a full review on it! 😃 packhacker.com/travel-gear/leatherman/style-ps-multi-tool/ -Eric

[@PSUCharger88]

My favorite piece of equipment is the Rolling Square Incharge X. The reason being is because of the versatility that it gives you when you need to charge something but might not want a lot of cables.

[@PackHacker]

Excellent choice, Josh! You can be someone's hero if they need to borrow a changer but have a different phone. - Austin

[@chicmegs_2129]

I have the InchargeX and Futurizta Zeus-X, love Incharges form factor but Zeus-X offers higher speeds. Hopefully InchargeX updates with a faster version.

That Aer Slim Pouch caught my eye 👁- just enough organization and nothing you don’t need. I have the Aer Travel Kit and Aer Go and I love them both. The TP3 came a bit too late for me - I already bought a Minaal Carry-on 3.0 which I am not giving up!

[@houseofvelma5]

My favorite piece of gear in the new list is the Matador Laptop Base Layer, as it is entirely new to me, but it seems like it will solve many concerns I have. I often have to travel on small regional jets for part of my journey, and they occasionally make you check standard carry-on items near the upper size limit due to limited overhead space (and the smaller than usual under-seat space). Thus, I am always afraid that, if I do one bag travel, I will need to figure out how to avoid having my laptop end up in a plane-side checked bag. (So far, it hasn’t happened thankfully.) The Matador base layer will solve that problem for me and I really like that it is water proof too. There are tons of other items on the list that I really like as well, but this is my pick this time around.

[@PackHacker]

Love this choice! The minimalist design combined with the waterproof materials makes it a great piece of gear to help protect your laptop while traveling. - Austin

Totally agree about Native Union!

[@guhjie]

65w power adapter will be enough to charge that laptop but just barely especially in use. I understand the need to keep things light but there's a lot more into power adapters and cables than just look and feel. For example, that powerline 3 series is cool, but the speeds are at the level of usb 2.0 so your usb 3.0 ports in your splitter are being capped. The usb c to usb c does offer up to 100w of charging but that doesnt really matter since your brick only provides a max of 65w.

[@NadDew]

for none iPhone users SanDisk usb type c flash drive can be used to free up some space from your phone memory to allow you to take more 4k videos without worrying about how much left of your phone memory. plus an excellent replacement and 2 in 1 device is Samsung galaxy fold 3 to replace your tablet for media consumption and for productivity when used with Samsung stylus.

[@PackHacker]

Solid tips for folks who don't use the Apple ecosystem-thanks for sharing! - Austin

[@daniobrien1049]

With the thing about the safety razor... according to TSA they are allowed in carry-on as long as the blade is removed. That being said it adds additional stress and time to security. Also it is still up to the TSA agent so that effects it too. Finally it isn't certain for international travel. I wanted to add that just point out that it is possible but it is more of a hassle.

I love your videos! I can’t wait for you to create videos for women. Also, do any company make backpacks for travel that are antitheft and consider as airline personal size?

I love this list! My top three favorite items from the list and reasons why: - Heroclip because I use them everyday and when traveling. They are beyond amazing at suspending my bag, in all its glory, wherever it's adorned. They are also lightweight, effortlessly hangs on to my hat, and at the end of each day keeps my work headset tidy. - Matador Flat Pak Soap Bar Case because once you switch to this case, you never have to deal with weird mushy, messy, soggy soap again. It's like magic...the soap goes in, secure the roll top, and it dries on its own. It just makes for a more enjoyable shower and travel experience. - Buff's Merino Wool Buff has traveled the world with me since 2019 and if you have one then you know how comfortable and versatile an item it is. I like that it supplies warmth when needed, but also adds a certain pizzazz to my wardrobe with very little effort. The first Pack Hacker video I'd ever watched suggested it and I'm glad because I've been a fan ever since. After watching the video, there were some items that sparked my interest so I placed an Amazon order :)

Excellent choices, Jen! Glad we could inspire some new additions as well! - Austin

I am a huge fan of the Eagle Creek packing bags! Easy to use and I've never had an issue with them. If I'm travelling for work, I have to carry a few extras like more personal grooming stuff and bulkier formal clothes, but most of these items are awesome additions.

Glad you think so! - Austin

Heroclip for me because it's so versatile as a carabiner and hanger. I got one in purple and gold so got some color splash against my sling.

Great shout, Mark! Once you add a Heroclip to your kit, you won't want to take it out. - Austin

Wow Tom, amazing vs2! The destination B-roll was great. Such a well honed list of items! I'm not quite so minimal, but I will say those Gravel silicon liquid containers are my go-to as well, along with the Matador earplugs and many other items on your list. Is your peanut shaver obscenely noisy? I have the same one. But recently I purchased the Philips Norelco OneBlade Face + Body, and it is super light weight, quieter, better quality trim, and more versatile which I have been testing over the last month. I too use the Arcade belts and they are fantastic for everyday and travel. We have around 15 pairs of Vivobarefoots and we live in those things. They are all wonderful! Unbound is my go to for merino T's because of their comfort and they come in v-neck. You oughta check out the KUHL, Deceptr Pant, RAVEN's. I think I may like them over my WW Evolutions, and Duers. Have a great day! Thanks for a great second roundup!

Hey Brandon! So glad you liked the video, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. It sounds like you have good taste in gear! - Austin

[@Brandon-0028]

@@PackHacker I was going to mention also that I go nowhere without my merino buffs... love those things. I am curious about the MR Mask though... I've been locked on the Outdoor Research over this last year and a half or so, and I am curious if you've tested it and how it might compare to the MR?

Tom dives into the MR mask a bit more in our Sling Bag EDC video. I'll drop a link below! - Austin kzbin.info/www/bejne/maCpiZyGna2taJY

@@PackHacker Hey, thanks Austin!

[@jackofblades6736]

They should update the waist strap that goes in the backpack with pockets to use as a sling.

[@Scolopente]

Swap out the wall brick, travel adaptor, torch, and power strip and get the tofu maru. Design perfection.

[@PackHacker]

Added to the list for content consideration-thanks!

I need some color in my stuff that I carry or wear. And bright color in afternoon excursions. Pockets in my bag need to be be right also to make it easier finding stuffs.

Nothing wrong with a pop of color 😃 Thanks for watching! -Eric
