I originally learned about one bag travel at onebag.com, by Doug Dyment. It’s a great resource. I probably found that website after reading Vagabonding by Rolf Potts. I highly recommend it. Then I bought an Osprey Farpoint 40 and although I don’t travel as much as I’d like, when I do I try to restrict myself to just that bag and maybe a personal item.

I love seeing other people’s packing lists, hearing about travel, what worked and what didn’t, and even seeing knolling spreads. Happy travels!

    Yes! The community on Reddit was small, but it was mostly people who are either trying to travel lighter and simpler, or people who get aroused by nice travel bags. I’m more interested in the former. You’ve been doing it right, but my spouse and her parents have never discovered the joy that is being able to manage your own bags between stops.

        LOL, that’s kinda funny. It probably wasn’t amusing at the time. I’ve heard that people “pack their fears.” All the things that we might need, just in case. We forget that most stuff that humans need can be purchased wherever humans are.
