This Bag Rules the Skies, Rails, & Roads
The Western Flyer has become my favorite go-to bag for one bag travel. Mine is Ballistic Nebulous Gray/Halcyon Island. So far, it has handled 5-day, 7-day, and 9-day trips, on planes, trains, and automobiles. No kidding.

Even in a full sleeper compartment, the train is not flush with storage space, but the WF plus TB-fitted packing cubes was perfect. Here’s what went into the WF on this past trip, with room to spare:
1. Western Flyer packing cube containing all shirts, underwear & socks, and one pair pants [all Merino wool]
2. TriStar small packing cube containing Montbell rain shell and Patagonia NanoLoft jacket
Earthrunner Elemental Sandals [in disposable shower caps for dirt isolation][
3. Pack Towl [original]
4. Laundry Bag [which I never seem to use]
5. Eagle Creek Spectre dop kit [includes several non-toiletries, like clothesline, laundry detergent, corkscrew, no-knife Leatherman]
6. Tom Bihn Clear Organizer as my 311 [though TSA pre-check generally avoids need]
7. Tom Bihn Packing Cube Shoulder Bag holding snacks, teabags, collapsible water bottle, Merino Buff, playing cards, Ghost Whale Organizer for charger & cables, small playing cards, lens shade for iPhone, Bose QC noise canceling ear buds [for non-AirPod systems]
8. iPad Air + Magic Keyboard [a bit of a luxury, because of all the time on…
