What's in your bag, travel tips & tricks.

Time to resurrect this thread again.

The Tumi bag I bought a few years back as a personal item/underseat bag, I’ve hated since day one. Too heavy and overbuilt, too much bag and not enough contents. Too many pockets of the wrong sort and I could never find anything.

I’ve replaced it with Mystery Ranch 3 Way Briefcase - Carry as Tote, Backpack and Shoulder Bag Amazon.com

It’s at my feet on it’s way home on it’s first trip right now (unfortunately not a dive trip) and I love it. Just right.

a must - a dry bag for your survival kit should you need to evacuate fast. Passport, money, meds and other important essentials.

^^^This. And unfortunately I recently had a opportunity to put mine to the test. Found I need to add a few things to it…car keys, spare glasses or contacts with solution and maybe even a bottle of water. On a LOB I keep my bug out bag near the door or with the life vests when they are stored in the room.

I do admire this bag, unfortunately, it doesn't have a pass through sleeve to attach it to the pull handle of a carry on roller bag. Otherwise, it is indeed, almost perfect by the looks of things.

Use your Aquaseal to glue on a strap!

It does have a sleeve. Perhaps there was an earlier version that did not. The Amazon listing shows it in one of the pics but the video does not.

One thing I did see a few complaints about in reviews was the shoulder strap is lame. And it is, somewhat slippery and uncomfortable webbing, with a unique connection that isn’t quick on/off. But easy to fix comfort, I just stole a grippy strap pad from a different strap (I have a stash) to make it better. Though I haven’t carried it that way yet, was mostly on my roller bag using the sleeve.

(My brand new roller bag. We’ve had 3 roller bags die in the last year. 2 self-destructed. One was destroyed by … gate check! The degree of destruction was quite impressive. )
