I got into one bagging a few months ago after looking at Pieter Levels blog post about it https://levels.io/carry-on-world-travel/ https://levels.io/carry-on-world-travel/ and have been operating from one since the 15th of April.
Bought a minaal 3.0 Cary On after going through the r/onebag community. Also bought some more equipment like an anker power core. Have to do a wash cycle weekly. A down jacket hangs off the bag. A laptop, kindle and my phone are the only electronics I have.
Works very well but in Europe you have to pay for carry on on a lot of airlines and otherwise you can only have something that fits under the seat in front of you.
The minimalism makes life easier. Only one pair of shoes & a pair of flip flops. Depend on the hostel / airbnb to provide a towel. Like Vitalik I have a weeks worth of clothes in the bag and one me.
- dubswithus 4y agoI hope airlines ban carry on. When we land I would like to get off sometime in the next month or so.
- techsupporter 4y agoNo problem, as long as we can go back to checking two bags at no additional fee on the fare and airlines agree to be responsible for ensuring that the bags arrive on the carousel in the same condition they were given to the desk agent. I'm a bit older than the usual HN person, I imagine, and I remember flying before airlines decided that checked luggage was a profit center. Most people only carried on a briefcase or a camera bag, or a small day bag usually with supplies for their children. Everything else went into the hold. Of course, even in the 80s we had the Samsonite ad with the gorilla acting as baggage handler.
- captn3m0 4y agoIt was a American Touristet ad, and Samsonite claimed later that most users associated it with them instead.
