    How come we’ve reached the spot where you need to be told via youtube what to take on your bag when travelling?

    Just some minor scuffs but no tears or shredded straps. Combined we’ve probably checked our packs on nearly 20 flights and Amtrak trains and they are still good to go. Scott’s pack is over six years old and seen plenty of use with no major issues. The more scuffs and scratches the more character it has.

    I mainly check my pack because a bike chain, Swiss Army knife and toiletry bag can’t go onto the plane. (toiletries can go but must be in certain sized bottles and fit into a certain size ziplock bag which becomes a pain and my contact solution bottles are larger than the allotted size). I checked 8 airlines and the largest carry-on size bag allowed in 22in x 18in x 10in. Some airlines are very specific and others aren’t. I just use my day pack as a carry-on and put all important items in it.

    can the backpack be taken on a plane as a carry on or does it have to be checked in?

    One note: make sure your flipflops are good ones! I have found while doing lots of walking, my flipflop will break and I’m in the position nowhere NEAR more flipflops.

    I got this one a few years ago from Target. The main things to look for are: a hook to hang your bag over the shower stall doors, clear compartments, and enough room to fit all of your toiletries without it being too bulky. Something else to consider is many toiletry bags are stiff and dont have any give, which makes packing more difficult. Target seemed to have the best selection when I was choosing, but do some research and find the one that is right for you!

    It´s cheaper than a hotel, you can share a room with others or have a room for yourself, usually two beds and a fridge.
    You share bathrooms and toilets with others, a kitchen and lounge too. But the point is to see sights and only sleep and cook in hostel.

    The brand is North Face, which makes a ton of great quality stuff. The model is “w terra 40″ – the “w” is for “w”omen and the “40″ is for amount of liters.
