What’s in My Bag?

As I’ve been preparing for my big trip, what is on my packing list has probably caused the most amount of stress. Reducing my life to that of a 46 liter backpack and a small daybag is a complicated task. Here is what’s in my bag – every last item I’m taking around the world, along with some fun videos demonstrating how I fit it all into my pack.

Bags

Osprey Porter 46 – A great all around pack that has gotten me through two tours of Europe. It is small enough to qualify as a carry-on even with the strictest of airlines.

Timbuk2 Espionage Camera Backpack – This is my camera/computer daypack. It is made by a great company that I’ve used for many years and is also the current bag of choice for award-winning travel photographer Gary Arndt.

I’m a huge nerd, and as such, this is the category I’ve spend the most time on in my pre-trip prep. One of the main focuses of my trip will be taking photos and posting them to this site. So I will need to have my photo gear and laptop in order.
