I was finally able to subscribe with what Matthew said above, with my account page, and then see taigi. (I am the one who emailed saying I never received a subscription confirmation email. Even when...

I never receive a confirmation email. Anyone else have that issue?

I haven't used a 1.5" strap with it..... but I've used the 5/8" and the 1". The 5/8" is just for travel and works for light loads. The 1" seems perfect both proportionally and functionally..... ...

Wooooooo I'm excited for the PCSB to have the original attachment points. I own one with the offset attachments, and it always feels off when I wear it --- So, I don't. For me, the whole point of...

I also like simple bags. I have endless TB accessories, but the previous TB bags with all the pockets are just not for me, either. For international travel, I want a bag that's ultralight and...

Knife, spoon, and fork. :)

33 is ideal for most of the travel I do....size wise, weight and simplicity of it. I'm excited to see more of this bag!!

I bought mine from Costco. They are great to wrap wet, long hair. Lightweight on my neck and they absorb so much more water than a normal towel. I've washed A LOT over the last year, and their...

+1 on packable backpack. I don't use one every day, but I do use it hiking locally or for day adventures.
+1 on turkish towel - It's what I use every day and will bring if a trip necessitates it...

I appreciated that my sweet old dog was able to spend time with a family who recently lost theirs.

Also, ice cream.

"I heard a doctor say something interesting today. He said one of the reasons we are seeing a fast rise in the number of corona virus cases is the increase in the number of test kits. Some of the...

I really like my merino buff. I bring it on every single trip, as I can use it for a few different purposes. Besides the obvious as a scarf or neck warmer, it is my eye mask on flights (and keeps my...

At least for me, both every day and for travel, I really want zippers on each compartment. I never considered the PIKA for that reason -- and it's not really minimal enough with the fancy inner...

I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who travels in random countries....

I would love an essentials purse (wallet, phone, chapstick, passport, etc.) that has a very flat shape for...

I also wondered when Seapine Green happened and how I missed it. It's gorgeous.

I've only used World Nomads (although I have shopped around.) My first time using them, I had to make a claim. It was such a painless process, and everything was paid quickly.

I have both and still much prefer the original!

I agree on packing whatever you might want urgently, prior to finding a pharmacy. I also pack what I might not be able to get, but might need, in random countries. It's different for each trip,...

I've actually hesitated on buying a Tom Bihn bag because I knew I couldn't remove the logo without being left with tiny little holes there. (There is no way to cleanly remove a label.) I also really...

There might not be native mosquitoes, but there are plenty of non-native ones there. I've also been many times; I have needed repellent, even just walking to Waikiki from the zoo side of the beach....

"mosquito repellent would have to be solid or less than 3 oz. "

I bring mosquito repellent wipes. They aren't subject to any liquids rules. :)

RE: socks... I bring socks to Hawaii, as I hike...

Will you have a washer/dryer? What kind of place are you staying at? Do you want to have everything you will need on hand or do you plan on buying stuff there?

I would also bring:

We're heading to Japan this year, as well. Thanks for anyone who has or will contribute tips. It's much appreciated. :)

I use the Trtl. None of the others give enough support to keep my head upright. I absolutely cannot sleep on a plane without one. With one, I might get a couple hours on a long flight. It might...

I'm (pre) packing for a trip right now with snorkel gear, but my backpack is bigger than the S25. If you're fitting full size fins in, I'm impressed!

I'm guessing someone at TB can weigh a...

I am interested in this post because I also obsess over getting my bag as lightweight as possible when traveling. Sometimes it's because of airline limits and sometimes just to be easier on my body. ...
