Tom Bihn Bag Travel Companion
Tom Bihn Bag Travel Companion
- A testament to the luggage system that enabled my lifestyle of traveling 45 weeks out of the year.
The Gear Setup
- I have long been a dedicated user of Tom Bihn luggage, specifically the Brain Bag backpack and Aeronaut duffel/backpack.
- Originally, I traveled wheel-less with the Brain Bag and the Aeronaut. When the Checkpoint Flyer came out, I slung the Aeronaut in front and the Flyer on one shoulder.
- Once the Brain Bag became TSA-friendly, I reverted to my favorite configuration: the Brain Bag on my back and the Aeronaut slung over one shoulder in front.
- By 2026, my Brain Bag and Aeronaut had accompanied me to 68 countries, providing enough capacity for two weeks of clothes and a fully loaded computer bag entirely within carry-on limits.
