papids2000: A Day at the Beach Backpack Packing Cube

Packing Cube Backpack on a morning bike

“Today we took a morning hike at our local beach in Pensacola with our Tom Bihn packing cube backpack. We always use this because it is lightweight and easy to clean the sand off. Today we were collecting some shells. I also carried a pair of sandals, small towel, some snacks, keys and water in the pack. So glad we were hiking here and not in the snow they had in the northeast.”

How To: Cobra Knot Zipper Pulls (by Miking)

TOM BIHN Cobra Knot Zipper Pull

Posted by Miking in the Forums:

This is what I have done for the lid zipper on my Aeronaut. It’s called a cobra knot, and if that’s not a cool name for something I don’t know what is! As an added bonus you can untie it and you have a yard of 2 mm cord that you can use to:

make a clothesline
replace a shoelace
make an emergency belt
lash your bag to an alpaca, vehicle or sturdy friend
make a splint with sticks or a magazine
build an impromptu shelter
build an impromptu pillow-fort
make a tripwire to alert you to intruders
make a hair tie
spice up your love life
hold your seedy hotel door closed
snare rat living in seedy hotel
along with duct tape; repair just about anything
individual strands can be used for thread, floss, fishing line etc…
the list goes on and on….. Add any of your own below!

bvp663′s How To Add a New Address Tag

“I don’t own a home so I’m always changing the address on my luggage tag. For those who would like to print out a replicate of the paper slip that was included with their luggage tag, you can print on from this pdf I created. When you print, be sure the scale is set to 100% so the sizing is correct. Enjoy!”

Tri-Star for 3 Weeks in Antarctica

“Just returned from a 3 week trip to Antarctica via South America. My Tri-Star handled it all. I was traveling solo and loved having my bag with me. It even passed Aerolineas Argentina’s strict carry-on limits when the airlines was operating – and when they went on strike – I was able to sleep on the (only option) 22 hour bus ride to Buenos Aires – knowing my bag was with me!”
