I love that the author mentioned onebagging as well. It's one of those things that you witness once on a group trip and from them on can't help but think "wait, that's obviously the superior way to travel, what do I need well this luggage for?" I've been thinking about it cause I'm wondering what else in my life I'm doing in an inferior manner simply out of not thinking about it / following a bad pattern / tradition (travel photos show people pulling luggage, that's just what you do right? No!!!) Once you get into it, statements like the article's sound funny: "three days is definitely doable for onebag trip!" Hah, get your kit right and you can basically travel indefinitely, although you'll probably get bored of your limited outfits. If others are into this scene I'd love to know what you're carrying. I've had a Tom binh synapse 25 for nearly 7 years now and the damn thing looks new as the day I got it despite being my daily carry and travel bag that entire time.

On the counterpoint, it probably bears mentioning that the massive free baggage allowance (two carry on and two free checked, two more paid) is one of the distinct advantages of Amtrak vs flying. You could practically move house with four checked bags.

I’ve picked up three different Tom Binh bags in different form factors. My oldest is over a decade old now and I used it as my primary daily storage when I was motorcycle commuting across Los Angeles for years. It still looks brand new. The materials and workmanship on these bags is fantastic.
