My Minimal Travel Backpack Setup

I'm traveling to Japan for 2 weeks and didn't want to be slowed down by my usual roller luggage. So instead I'm trying to fit everything I need into a single backpack. It was a lot more challenging than I thought to keep it light and compact but it was a fun challenge. Here's what I ended up with: Backpack - Aer Travel Pack 1 https://www.aersf.com/travel-pack-00014 (There's also a newer v2 that looks more comfortable) IKEA Packing Cubes (Looks like they discontinued the ones I have, which is unfortunate they are great and cheap, not sure if the new versions are any good) T-Shirts: Uniqlo Supima https://bit.ly/2Pggy5v Uniqlo Heattech https://bit.ly/2PdHFOo Uniqlo Airism https://bit.ly/2CsBAuU Pants: Uniqlo Ezy Color Jeans https://bit.ly/2BXdBmc Uniqlo Stretch Color Jeans https://bit.ly/2BXd3wI Uniqlo Sweatpants https://bit.ly/2CrruKy Underwear - Uniqlo Airism Boxer Briefs https://bit.ly/2BZkSST Socks - Darn Tough Crew Light https://amzn.to/2CslktG Jacket - Uniqlo Pocketable Parka https://bit.ly/2Crsiiy Warmer Jacket - Uniqlo Ultra Light Down https://bit.ly/2PdfuiL Packable Backpack - Eddie Bauer 30L Pack https://amzn.to/2IElHl6 Camera - Panasonic G7 https://amzn.to/2pAZCLv Camera I wish I had - RX100 V https://amzn.to/2ICWA21 Tripod - Joby GorillaPod 3K https://amzn.to/2Pdq60T Noise Canceling Earbuds - Bose QC 20 https://amzn.to/2OCld4q (compact and great for reducing airplane/car/train noise) Noise Isolating Earbuds - Etymotic MK5 https://amzn.to/2PbtARB (good for reducing high freq noises like talking) Travel Container Set - IKEA Forfina https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr... ----------------- FTC: Not Sponsored. ----------------- Music Credits: Reaching Out by Sappheiros   / sappheirosmusic   Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
