>That'll be $250, plus tax and tip.

But seriously, what do you guys pack your stuff in?
I've been using the same duffle bag for 15 years.

I unironically have that bag and I like it.

>>2840893
I need a new backpack, so I am traveling to India (where that $250 bag is made for $25 and sold for whatever price he thinks he can get a foreigner to pay)

>I need a new backpack, so I am traveling to India
It's not worth it, turn back now while you still can

>>2840893
only retards still tip

savers, a thrift store, has an entire isle of them

>>2840893
just use a high quality backpack
e.g.
>Ortlieb
>Vaude
>Deuter
all make really good, high quality and reasonably priced ones (at least below 250€)

>But seriously, what do you guys pack your stuff in?
my main backpack is custom made by a local leather craftsman
it's 6y old now and probably will be good for another 60y...

it's less expensive than you think
mine was ~400€
also it's easily repairable (if something ever should break like the zipper)
so unless it gets stolen, I'll die wearing this backpack

I use my mum's old Karrimor backpack from the 80s
it was built to last
>>
>>2840893
I use my normal backpack because i'm not a begpacker, i have a suitcase, and i don't want to look like a tourist.

>poor fag complains a good backpack is too expensive
>buys $8 backpack from Temu
>it breaks 2 hours into the trip and also it gives you cancer
>>
>>2842201
no that's a feature, throwing it away after 1 day is how it prevents you from getting cancer
>>
>>2842201
My $20 Puma bag has been going strong for seven years now. The zippers still work flawlessly.

cant find the one i have online, looks like this but with side straps that squash it down. remember being it around this price though. 5 years old maybe?

I used this while traveling SEA. I got it specifically because it’s lockable and secure. Also got a hip pouch from the same company, for passport, wallet, $$, etc.

It’s not stoping a nigger with a knife or a gun, but it’s enough of a deterrent to make most would-be-thieves would look for easier pickings.

kek.

Why do so many people feel the need to buy something to store their wallet, phone, passport, extra cash when any pair of regular pants already includes a pair of front pockets which are suitable for the task? They must be the same NPC goycattle who buy neck pillows and power banks, just because they're the "in" thing.

If it's longer than a 3-5 days I bring a suitcase costing roughly £50 on sale, the awkward thing is I cannot recommend a bag because airports & planes constantly change their rules on sizes; check stores like TKmax, outfitters or thrift stores they tend to have cheap cases, if you want to be very very cheap, you can sometimes get one from a waste disposal or check around town near apartments/universities will have discarded cases that may or may not be usable.

As for backpacks, I use a 'Venture' backpack, who make them specifically for carry-on luggage, they are square/rectangular in shape and can be lockpadded if necessary that they be checked in; costs roughly £20 - £40 and is a little more waterproof, you could also just buy a sailor's canvas drawstring duffle/dry-bag for less, at about £5 - £20 (more if you want the waterproofness) and those are good because they're dead cheap, no loss if you lose them.

1. Pickpockets
2. Because it’s easier to keep track of all that shit when it’s in one place.
3. It’s just handy to have a small pack sometimes.
4. I hate having anything in my pants pockets. Looks sloppy and feels annoying. Just personal preference.

>>2842199
the suitcase stays at the hotel

>>2842491
what kind of airheaded yuppie giganormie do you have to be to not know what a pickpocket is

I've visited or transited through 20+ countries since 2017 with this one. I got it on the recommendation of le reddit. It's quite versatile for keeping a week's worth of stuff or just a few items plus my laptop.

I've been using pic related as both a travel and a daily use bag for I don't know how long and it's never steered me wrong, easily packs a week worth of clothes + plenty of remaining space if I get something extra while traveling.
I don't know what it's made of but it feels like it can hold much more stuff than other 20L+ bags I tried.
If anything posting about it made me realize I should buy an extra one just in case something ever happens to it.

The same $50 red JanSport I got from my brother as a hand-me-down in high school over a decade ago.

I hate this board

>>2843065
Those are rookie numbers compared to many people on this board. I was simply highlighting that it's held up to lots of abuse over the years. Don't get butthurt.
>>
>>2843065
oh yeah well i've been to 300 countries

>>2840913
>instead of paying $250 I paid only $25 plus the cost of a return flight to India, accommodation, and deworming tablets when I got home! Bargain!
