welcome back to Run the Atlas! today i'm going to show you how to pack for a
weekend getaway using nothing but a backpack.
stay tuned as i share with you some of my favorite products
that will help you pack in the most lightweight
minimalistic as possible for a weekend trip. so for this trip i'm using the Farm
Brand weekender backpack. It's made out of
canvas cotton, it's super durable and it's compliant for all airlines even
the strictest ones. It fits right under the seat in front of
you and it has a special pouch for your laptop,
so you can fit your laptop in here as well as
a weekend full of goodies. Now i like to start with the things that are
completely essential things that i cannot buy. i make sure i bring my
passport, my wallet, my id. i put that in a place where i can easily
grab it on the go.
You know these that you get in the grocery store? i put all my electronics
in one of these and make sure that i have all my plugs
and all of my phones and chargers ready to go
in one separate handy pack. on this bag, i like to also include my
business card but not face up so that everyone can see,
just in case something happens to it someone will be able to find me. by the
way if you're interested in any of these items check the link in the description
below. i also have some promo codes down there
be sure to use that for a special gift from
us to you when checking out. next let's talk about
clothing. when i board the flight i like to wear my heaviest gear
my outerwear my shoes such as Allbirds shoes which are really easy to
slip on and off. they're made of merino wool which is
really lightweight and comfortable and i like them because they're
versatile i can bring them to the gym i can also wear them in more urban
settings. as soon as i get on board the flight i
like to change into something more comfortable
so that is usually like a more presentable pair
of pajamas. so i like these by A7 they're very stretchy and they're
perfect for wearing on board flights especially when it gets
cold on board the airplane. i also like to
stick to one color scheme usually for me it's black or dark slate
colors. And i also really like to pay attention
to fabrics especially fabrics that are moisture wicking
and fabrics that i can easily line dry at night. A travel shirt that i found
is called HercLéon this is the apollo self
cleaning travel shirt and it's made out of a special fiber has this silk-like
softness so you can dress it up or down. it also has uv
protection it's odor resistant and moisture wicking even through all
the stressful moments of traveling rushing around the airport this will
hold up and last you throughout your trip. To make
the outfits look different i like to mix it up with different hats
or scarves or something like that to make it look like i'm wearing something
new. each day I also like to bring one long
sleeve shirt and this one is from a company called
Koop and it's made out of recyclable polyester. polyester is a fabric that is
extremely quick dry that's why it's used in a lot of the
quick dry athletic gear so you can line dry this it's extremely
lightweight and it's a special fabric that can be
used either for a layering piece or for active wear
i like to bring a few pairs of socks with me on the road even a few
extra even if i might not need them they're super easy to pack
this one's from Woolly Good socks. it's a merino wool blend
which means that it's breathable it's anti-stink,
super tough and lightweight and they go all the way up to
mid calf. so they'll keep you nice and warm. i also like to bring
ones that are a little bit ankle length and these are good for
athletic adventures this is also a natural
merino wool blend so soft moisture wicking keeps your feet dry
perfect for travel. when looking for a backpack i like to
find one that has a side compartment for a reusable water
bottle which i fill up when i get to the airport. of course you
have to bring your mask, and sunglasses.
now i like to bring an extra little pouch with my toiletries.
a few items that i wanted to point out to you guys that are really helpful
during my trip number one is deodorant
this is essential for when you're traveling because
lots of stressful moments you want to make sure that you're nice and fresh and
clean and i found one here called Hume which
smells like dryer sheets it's gender neutral.
as you can see it's like nice and clear as it goes on
and no animal testing on this there's no aluminum used
and it's paraben free it smells really good it smells like you just did your
laundry. hand sanitizing spray always a must
especially during these times
sunscreen this is a moisturizing cream from Yu-Be.
it was tested on mount everest so it's ultra moisturizing
and it's multi-purpose you can use it on your hands
your lips anywhere that's chapped because you know when you're on the
plane gets really dry the last thing i like to
bring a few snacks some dried fruit maybe a power bar of some sort don't be
a rookie guys, gotta bring some food emergency snacks
are a month i also like to bring my own coffee and
i've been using this one here from a brand called Waka
they make freeze-dried coffee this is from arabica
beans from colombia and all you have to do is mix it in with
water and ice and it will make you instant coffee so
perfect for when you're on the run or on the plane and there's no drink
service so there you have it guys i got a plan
