Ultralight Men's travel edition!
19
items This is what I use to travel with a single bag. You do need to do a bit of work but keeps your baggage as light as possible. Items can be adjusted as your destination change but this is good enough for mild to nice weather for me.

Bag and Pouches
These are the pouches I currently use to pack my items. Adjust accordingly to your destination and load!! This is still a work in progress so I'll be adding to the list
Ultralight backpack and my go to for most trips. Not the most structured but nothing beats it in weight.
30L Ultra Dragonfly
medium sized compact bag used to separate items from my toiletries. Currently hold some of my toiletries.
Wrinkled Nylon Flat Pouch - Medium
small flat pouch to hold some of my flat items. I can toss this at the bottom of my bag as I don't need these items all the time.
Adjustable Pocket Gadget Pouch - Slim
Another small flat pouch. This one holds a little less used items in the bottom and a bottle of mouth wash for quick access.
Wrinkled Nylon Flat Pouch - Small
This hold one universal cable and my power brick where I keep in an easily acessibly pocket.
Polyester Two Zipper Case - Small
My favorite packing cube mostly because it fix perfectly in my backpack. It does compress very well and the texture is nice and less plastic like compared to other ones.
Packing Cube
Tech
I do overpack a few extra cables but to me it adds very little bulk and I'm willing to accept the sacrifice.
This I bring with me everywhere and I can pretty much everything I need on this. I have a desktop at home with moonlight and sunshine so I can have a full desktop as long as I have internet access.
iPad mini
Convinient case that can detach if needed and still be protected. Used this for about a year now and it's still holding up.
ESR iPad Mini 7 Case (A17 Pro) 2024/21
It's a mini flat flashlight I keep in my tech pouch. It's magnetic on the back so it works great as a nightlight and takes up almost no space. You can lock the dial so it doesn't randomly get turned on in your pouch. Don't bother with the stand they ...
WUBEN E1 EDC Rechargeable Selfie Portable Light for Phone
This suction mount is my new phone mount I use. If I need to rent a car I can stick this anywhere and have my phone as a GPS as needed. Haven't had to use it often so I will update accordingly if it's still worth getting.
ULANZI MA39 3-in-1 Magnetic Phone Holder
This is the one I use but you can swap this out to match your tech setup. A lot of my setup does require a charge so I play it safe going with a more powerful brick.
Anker Prime 100W 3-Port GaN USB C Charger
My favorite travel adaptor. This works as an extension so if there are no outlets nearby this is a life safer.
MOGICS Super Bagel (White)
Bring this one if you have devices that have a charging port other than USB-C. If everything is then bring a USB-A to C for those flights that happen to only have a USB-A plug onboard.
Anker Powerline II 3-in-1 Cable, 3ft Black
Toiletries
Nothing beats the ease of use of this thing. No need for shaving cream and no more knicks and cuts from those disposable razors. I tried cutting this out of my bag for a Gillette but I couldn't do it. The cuts, the tugs, the irritation was too much. ...
Philips Norelco One 360 Hybrid Trimmer QP2724/90
This is the one I use but people have complaints of this falling off. Definitely not the best design but does the job if you don't apply too much force. I've attached an image of an even more compact method but that requires buying the tubes (in the ...
Dove Men+Care Ultimate Refillable Deodorant Kit
Refill this and bring it with you if you have a particular toothpaste you like. Otherwise, you can just skip this and buy it when you get to your destination.
Refillable Toothpaste Tubes
I've tried using the knock off pumps, bite chalky ones but none of them work or give this weird feel in my mouth. This is the only one that works and it's pretty much the same as the big jugs you buy anywhere. Sqirt some concentrate in the cap and ad...
Crest Scope Mouthwash Travel Size, 2 Pack
I use this one right now but it's way too big to fit in my pouches. It's in a case so i just throw it in my bag at the moment but I'm testing other options. Honestly any small toothbrush you're comfortable works here. Technique is more important than...
Philips One Electric Sonicare Toothbrush & Travel Case
small toothpick that's really it.
GUM Soft-Picks Original, 270 Count, Case
