Minimalist Travels & Lives out of Small 19L Bag || Packing for 2.5 Months Tom Bihn Synapse 19

for this I don't know how you all feel about packing but I'm just like hey beautiful people my name is Brittany and today I'm going to be sharing my 19 liter pack with you everything that's in it for two and a half months of travel in Thailand and a little bit in California if you've been following me for a while you know that I have a ton of packing videos on this channel and a number of packing videos with this bag and I try to kind of like mix it up every time so that I can share a new perspective on it or give you a different experience with it and I was thinking I actually think it's been a while since I've done the full pack showing you it pretty much everything that's in it showing you everything that's in it but then pretty much gone over the details of everything that's in it and then packed it back up so I think I'm gonna lean towards that in this video and also I'm just gonna see how it unfolds but basically my intention is to show you how I have everything that I need and more I think this trip for sure in this 19 liter tonb in synapse bag which I love and you can check out some of my other specific videos on the synapse 19 and why I love it so much I've been living out of this bag full-time for a number of years now and before that I was living out of a 28 litre bag so I'm really custom to minimalist living not having much and traveling to a new place or this times like my fourth time here in Thailand it's just always a fun opportunity to to pack if you're a packing geek like me and really enjoy minimalist living which for me helps bring me closer to the experiences that matter so let's get into the pack my packing cube with my clothes in it my electronics bag making sure you guys can see that I shot my sarong my barrel barefoot shoes running shoes oh they're not Merrill's anymore those are Tesla this is my journal and like a little folder that I start up in and that's everything in the main compartment move down to this lower compartment I have a long sleeve sort of jacket I like to keep that at hand because I get cold easily I hold a crossbow which I use for rolling out like muscles and knots and then I have three pairs of socks these are my warm socks I have my acrobatic socks which have grips on the bottom and then just my regular socks that I wear with these shoes and the reason I brought these is because I want to do hiking here going on to this right-side apartment is this kind of like my toiletry kit and writing implements a spoon I travel a plastic knife because can't get through security with anything else and chopsticks menstrual cup I am pregnant so I don't need it right now but by cutting it washers and you tips my toothpaste which I make and then this time this is new for me I'm traveling with this shea butter and that's really sweet essential a little button that a friend made for me because I'm doing like belly massage every day which is really nice that's everything in there I love how this pack has the holders for things like my pens and my utensils the left hand side got a reusable stuff sack bag my athletic tape that I use to like take my wrists or something like that in acrobatics if I get sore my glasses for driving at night these are my soaked nuts which the organics makes they're amazing I have a link to them on my website that's what I use I was like a natural soap to wash my clothes with a sewing kit condoms and lock stock whole pouch this small front pouch has chapstick again from the organics I really love this bomb my earrings hair elastics these nausea wristbands I've been using some mostly in the first few months of my pregnancy I haven't been as nauseous lately just in case and a nail clipper and in the last compartment is taken to the water bottle pouch and sometimes I do put my water bottle in there but um this is what I'm putting in there right now my mask my wallet also fits my passport which is why I love that size my phone have the iPhone eight plus my headphones and my keep Caesar these are my keys for the States but you know when I go back there I'll need them so that is my entire bag I also traveled with a couple of other items I'm going to show you on the outside of my bag I did not travel with these pants my plan was to get a pair of tight pants when I was here and I did pack this shirt so I was when I traveled wearing more clothing then like I was wearing some of the clothing and clothing in my packing cubes I had a little more space in my bag and then I also had these items so I was carrying my water bottle and I ought to do that because I was drinking water the whole time while I travel this which I've had for a number of years but really only used it for certain events that I was running and I I'm finding that traveling and intercourse with it is amazing so it's a side pouch like a fanny pack but a side pouch and I can put my phone my wallet my passport in it and my utensils and then it's like everything - right there at hand and I also use this a lot in Thailand I'm gonna use it a lot this year instead of bringing out my backpack although for the most part I always have my backpack with me I just feel like it's my whole life in there and I just love to have it with me I always have what I need hi shadow wearing these and I brought a jacket I don't normally bring a jacket like this to Thailand because I live in Chiang Mai for two months when I'm here and it's like degrees right now and that night it gets into like the 70s or 60s however it was chilly when I left Austin and more so I'm going to be in California for ten days after this and I think it's going to be quite chilly so I pretty much just wore this on the whole flight or like used it as a pillow etc that's my pack I think the main thing I want to do is open up my packing cube and show you the clothing I have because I know a lot of people are curious about that and maybe I'll also just show you some of the electronics that I have I'll start with the electronics there right here so this is just part of my charger these two are accessories to adapt like this technology to a USB a screen cleaner this is a two to one headphone splitter so Connor and I can watch movies together on the flight my headphones so the reason I have two pairs of headphones is because these are bluetooth and I use them when I'm running specifically because they stay on my ears but I don't like to have the Bluetooth technology going all the time especially like on flights I'm not even sure how that would work I haven't played around with that yet a microphone which I'm using to record my podcast which I recommend checking out if you haven't yet again another little adapter I need for my iPhone this thing is amazing it it's a charger and an external charger and it will charge my iPhone for probably like two full cycles love it another thing this like this is really awesome if you have a computer like this and are looking for like multiple USB ports an SD card reader etc the lightning cable I think it's called a lightning cable this is good and just my wall okay let's total the clothes that are in this packing cube and I want to preface this by saying that for me I feel like I have more items that I need in here I could probably have not brought three of these tops I mean this is pretty much all the clothing I own like I just have a couple of items left in Winnie in my RV back in Austin right now but yeah I have a couple of extra tops for sure and bottoms I could definitely take away one pair of shorts and the reason is I don't know this is like something that I tend to do and I think part of it is that I'm not quite sure specifically right now being pregnant what I'm going to want and I can get close here in Thailand like I love Thai pants and I'm sure I could find shirts and I just yeah I'm kind of like feeling out all that so the other thing is I might just leave or donate or give away to a friend a couple of these items while I'm here but anyway this is what I'm packing so I have tops on one side and bottoms on the other these are all my tops I have a short sleeve shirt that's like really loose and I sleep in it and it's just like lounge around the house and then I have a short sleeve like crop top this one I probably didn't need to bring it's just cute and I love it but with like my belly starting to get bigger I'm not sure how much part of my wardrobe it's gonna be right now I have three identical tops that looked like this three identical tank tops this is definitely the excessive part I think I could have two or one but two because I tend to wear them everyday and I was just excited before I left by all three of these colors so here we go two of those this one I have this sort of crop top that a friend of mine gave me from her pregnant and I'm just finding that it feels nice to be able to throw on over these like when I'm doing acrobatics and then this is also different for me I have to well like I tend to wear stuff like this regardless of pregnancy so this is like a crop top and I would normally just do acrobatics right and this however since my breasts have like doubled in size since getting pregnant this feels like I'm just gonna fall out of it while doing acro so I I wouldn't wear that to the park without something over it and so I actually thought wrong which is crazy but it's super comfy well it's actually it's actually really comfy comfy it's kind of like a crop top totally wear it on its own a bralette and I'm wearing this what I'm doing that sort of activity especially like out in the world so again that's just like an adaptation I've made since becoming pregnant you may have seen some of my other videos where I share about like not wearing a bra not wearing underwear I just I don't like to but um it's definitely more comfortable to have this while I'm exercising then to not have it now that my breasts are like larger okay to the bottoms this is also like a huge item I wouldn't normally bring however this is a dress that my sister gave me it was hers and it's really comfy and I'm just finding it feels really nice to throw on it's a long dress has two slits up the sides and I feel like again being pregnant and like having my body change I'm just wanting to feel comfier and just navigating what I feel comfortable wearing right now it's really helpful to have sew this on its own it's just like a huge item in my right now then I have these two pairs of shorts that I pretty much live in that look like this they're made by a really cool Acrobat in Australia I'll link her down below so look like that I probably only need one pair and I have a pair of leggings I love the gym shark legging so the only ones that stay up while I do acrobatics and like can't stands and other exercises so I would definitely bring this could probably not have brought this not a bra a pair of these I have a bathing suit and then the other items I have in here are tights which I may or may not end up using much of but generally I like to wear tights underneath my acro shorts oh the last item I want to mention is my tripod it's right over there as I'm recording this video so I can't show you it but it's it gets really small and it goes in the bottom of my bag down with my shoes and my sarong my sarong by the way doubles as a towel you can lay on it at the park can it can warm me on flights and just in general can be a little blanket really awesome yeah that is literally everything in my pack it feels excessive and I think in a way that is good to be reflecting on and telling you in this video because even packing like pretty much twice as many clothes as I feel like I need everything else feels pretty good this is all like tried and true even packing twice as much as I feel like I need it's still fits in my 19 meter bag my clothes still fit in my packing cube and that's kind of like my test so yeah this is everything I have I have links to a lot of this stuff in on my website on the recommended products page and feel free to post if you have questions about any specific items down below so I'm just gonna pack it all back up I live for this I don't know how you all feel about packing but I'm just like [Music] we have it back hope you guys enjoy [Music]
