Thanks so much for stopping by - and especially for subscribing! The bundle method works extremely well - I use it all the time and it is amazing. There are a number of travel-related posts on the site... enjoy. Thanks again, Kevin @Cheap…

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:15:24 +0000 http://lifeapps.wordpress.com/?p=76#comment-262 I realized the focus of this article was on bundle-wrapping and roll folding, and not on use of a back-pack as a "onebag" (and it appears to be a MEDIUM sized "day" pack, not much more than a kid's schoolpack, and not one of those ginormous old-style Euro backpacker set-ups). But I'm simply amazed you can travel overnight or for a couple of days with only a school-sized day pack and want more details on how you make this work for you. The bag you are using for your business over-nighters is not much larger than what I carry to knock around the City on day-trips! Ok, I'm not good at this. But I'm trying to learn. It would really help to have more details about your daypack "overnighter" set up. For example, in the article you mentioned using socks and underwear as the "filler" for both the shirt bundle AND the pants roll, but how many socks and uw do you carry! And what happened to your toilet kit (or is that literally all in your TSA "1 quart" bag?) Why do you fold your shirts and pants separately - on the RedOxx AirBoss and Doug Dyment onebag.com sites, they both advocate putting the pants in with the shirts (but admittedly the folks at RedOxx advocate the "military roll" technique as an alternative to "bundling"). It would be great to have more travel articles from you, especially on "ultralight business travel" now that the airlines are making it more annoying to check bags. Not to mention the delays at luggage carousels and lost luggage. Rick Steves has the tourism angle covered pretty well. I'm more interesting in the business travel angle.
