</p> </p>
<p> <p>
Another reason for writing this is that I honestly feel like others leave out subtle, but important items in their lists, their lists are usually much more broad and fail to include the small things. I think that the small things are the things that matter the most, and no matter how small, they can make a big differecne to your journey.
</p>
<p>
As for the reason for embracing such a level of minimalism stems from my inherent inclination towards owning few possessions. I do plan to add some more pictures at some point when I get round to it. Owning a small amount of items has allowed me to fine tune each item, making me able to get the best quality items aswell.
</p>
<p>
In my past experiece I have found travelling with a single bag much easier, the convience benefits are really something. I've found myself saving a lot of time because of it, no need to pack, I don't need to spend a long time in the airport to check things in, and even getting through security can be pretty fast. Even the ability to just grab your bag and just going somewhere is amazing. The /r/onebag community has lots of further resources on onebagging.
