- [Hallease] Hey guys, it's me Hallease
back with another video.
I've recently been into packing video,
I've also been really obsessed with
only having carry-ons when I travel.
On my Amazon wishlist this past Christmas,
I had this backpack, it's eBags Weekender bag.
I first saw it as most things as an ad on Facebook
and was immediately drawn to it
and added it to my Christmas list.
I really love this bag because it's super flat
which makes carrying a lot of things in it
not so cumbersome on your back
because it sits so close to your body.
The weight distribution is really good.
Also this bag is great as a carry-on
because of the many compartments
and the ease of use getting through TSA.
The idea behind this bag is
you don't have to remove your laptop from it at all.
You just lay it flat on the conveyor belt
and the material used here makes it easier for them
to see your luggage, et cetera.
I haven't tried this yet.
I've only traveled via car with this bag
but I'm excited to try it out.
If you have this bag
and have gone through TSA with it with a laptop,
let us know in the comments below how that went.
I'm gonna use this bag to show you all
how I pack for an overnight stay.
Usually it's when I'm going to Austin for a couple days.
First, my clothes.
eBags also has packing cubes.
I use the medium-sized one for my clothes,
Pj's, socks, underoos and you know,
what I'll just be wearing for the next few days.
It all fits perfectly
and goes in the front side of my backpack.

Second, toiletries.
Again, having a nice compact toiletry bag
is really big for me
and eBags once again makes a really good toiletry bag.
Everything you're seeing here
fits into my toiletry bag really well
and what's awesome about this bag is it lays flat
which helps not only with this backpack
but also if you use a traditional roller bag.
(upbeat music)
I also love how this toiletry bag
has one side that's plastic-lined
for things like my black soap or other liquids.
(upbeat music)
And also an expansion section
which works great for holding my daily contacts.
Now with that, the front of the backpack is now packed.
Now onto my tech.
As you all know, I'm a video producer and an editor
so, no matter where I'm going
I'm always bring these essentials
for anything and everything I wanna shoot.
First, I go ahead and I put my laptop
and creativity journal in my laptop pocket.
Next, I put my camera and its Tenba BYOD carrier.
I like using this carrier because
when I wanna be mobile, I can easily have my camera
right at my side ready to use.
I put it towards the bottom
because it's a little heavier
and I don't want anything to get squished.
Next, I take my smaller eBags packing cube
and I use that to hold my drives and my H1n Zoom
that I use for sound.

In the back of this backpack
there's a really awesome no-crush section
and in it I fit my power cables.
But if you have high quality headphones,
anything like that,
this is a great place to put those things too.
The backpack also comes with a net plastic-lined baggy.
I generally use this for my dirty socks and underoos.
(upbeat music)
In the front I put any little final knickknacks.
Pens, travel books, chargers,
my passport if I were traveling internationally.
You can be as organized as you want with this bag
which is why I really like it.
(upbeat music)
Finally, I clip on my monopod in one of the extra loops
available in the front of the backpack.
I made a video about this monopod a year or two ago,
I'll link to it in the (mumbles).
And that's it, this is how I pack for a quick weekend
or overnight trip with my essentials.
Thanks for sticking around to the end of this video.
This month I wanna give away this toiletry bag
because I seriously love this toiletry bag.
You can enter to win this toiletry bag
by heading over to Twitter.
At me and let me know where you're planning
on traveling this year and why.
My Twitter handle is @Hallease.
I'll pick a winner after about a week
and I'll slide into your DMs letting you know if you've won
and requesting an address on where to send the bag.
If in a week, I ain't slid into your DMs
then you didn't win.
Again, if you're not into giveaways,
everything I've discussed in the video
is in the description box
if you wanna check it out and purchase it for yourself.
That's me.
I'll see you when I see you.
