One, two, three. Aloha! Welcome back to Kensho Quest.
We're back with an updated test packing. We've been working on which clothes
we're going to bring on the trip, and so we're going to show you. Right now we're
wearing the outfits that we would wear on the airplane and then we each have a
hoodie or a cardigan as well. Let's see what we've got inside our bags. This one's
for me and Haruchan. This one's for me and Dad.
So I'm gonna start by unpacking our Osprey Farpoint 40L. This is packed
for myself and our daughter who will be a little over one-year-old at the time of
travels and this is just our clothing only. So in this outer pocket here I have only a couple of things.
This bag will have her wool shorts in it. I'm still waiting for those so they're not
packed yet. I have a really thin pair of minimalist sandals packed in this bag.
I'll just be taking two pairs of shoes with me so I'll be wearing one and
packing one. And if I need to for some short flights, if I'm taking this as a
carry-on, I can put my laptop in here. This is a carry-on size bag.
In the main compartment here
these are all of our packing cubes for my daughter and for myself. For our daughter we will be
taking mostly dresses and she'll be wearing these with wool shorts under
that will act like little bloomers to go with her dresses.
Then this one is her pajamas.
She has one pair of long pajamas, a pair of long pants, two t-shirts, and two tank
tops underneath. Those are mostly like pajamas or for around the hotel room
but not really for wearing out. Then she has some really long socks. These are
great if she's just wearing a short dress I can put super long socks on her
instead of wearing long pants. She's got a few different color options there.
Then separately she'll have cloth training pants and cloth diapers that will be packed in a different bag.
These are all of my clothes here. I have a
medium eBags packing cube. This is an Eagle Creek one. We originally had that
brand of packing cubes. A small eBags. And this is a Logan and Lenora plus Molly's Suds
wet/dry bag. So first of all, my main outfits are in the medium packing cube.
These are not clothes that were chosen specifically for traveling so they're
not the thinnest and lightest weight. Some of them like this are kind of bulky.
I have a romper and three dresses. So four outfits, and then each one has a bra
that goes along with it. I know some people will keep re-wearing a bra, but
when we're in hot humid climates I like to have fresh ones each day. Then in a
small packing cube I have a nightgown, one long-sleeved Pima cotton shirt,
a tank top and shorts that serve as pajamas, and then a pair of wool leggings
and a pair cotton leggings. I like to pair either of these leggings underneath
one of my dresses if I need to be a little bit warmer. Then I also have
my wool cardigan that I'll be wearing on the airplane, so I can pair that with a
dress as well. Then I have five pairs of wool underwear, another pair of
underwear, a knee-high pair of wool socks that I would probably wear on the
airplane or these cotton knee-high socks as well, and a few other pairs of socks.
Then this whole bag is just my Lunapads period underwear and inserts.
These can just be worn and rewashed and so I won't be having to buy menstrual
products during our trip. Right now that's everything that I would have
packed for myself. I'd be wearing one outfit that would
include a pair of shoes and a cardigan.
This is an Osprey Farpoint 55L. Inside it carries
clothes for myself and my son. He's five-years-old. As you can see, it's pretty
thin because we don't put anything in his top compartment here which is
actually a detachable daypack. The reason for that is we like to take this
as a carry-on and so far we haven't had any issues taking this on any
international flight. But again, that's because we try to keep it as low profile
as possible. Because this is a 55 L it's actually a little bit too long for
most flights but so far we haven't been busted, so as long as we don't make it
look too full we can take it on. Okay, let's look inside. This is an Eagle Creek
I think it's a medium sized bag but we'll double check that for you.
In here this is mine. I've been able to reduce my clothes down to one, two, three,
four, five, six shirts and two short pants. We're going to hot climates so I will be
wearing shorts I would say more than 90% of the time.
This is my underwear and socks and here I have one, two, three, four, five, six pairs of
underwear and two pairs of socks. That is all of my clothes.
Next is my son's clothes. These are small Eagle Creek bags. Inside he has one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, actually there's eight shirts in here.
These are all short sleeve shirts since, again, we're going to hot climates. He will
have this hoodie that he can wear if he needs additional warmth. Here he has
his pants: one, two, three, four, five. And then here he has some pajamas.
In this last one is also his underwear and a couple more little shirts for him for night.
And the last bag that we have, inside is our swim wear for all four of us.
For myself, my wife, our one-year-old daughter (will be one-year-old when we start
traveling), and our son who is five. We have an assortment of stuff.
Everybody has at least one rash guard. Kaisho has a couple of rash guards.
Harumi has a couple of swim tops and bottoms, so does Kaisho because they need more than us, as always.
And that's everything.
This is still a work in progress.
We will have one more final packing episode coming up that be where we will go through all the details of what
we have and why we're carrying them.
Okay, so that was it for the clothes. And then I just want to mention
that I've been doing some research on solid toiletries. We've been testing out some
Ethique shampoo and conditioner and we have this Nubian bar soap that we like to bring.
We'll be doing a video on the solid toiletries what that we plan to bring.
What'cha got there, Kaisho?
Got a hammer and a yogurt container. The yogurt container has paper in it, that's why it goes like this.
This is our second round of packing our carry-on luggage. We will probably have a
final, hopefully just one more final one so we might need to add a couple things
take a couple things out but for the most part we feel pretty good about what
we have in our bags right now. So stay tuned for our next episode.
