How to travel with one backpack

January 31, 2019 by Scott Witner Leave a Comment

How to travel with one backpack

These photos and post were taken from Kyle Defoor’s Facebook page. Like I’ve said before, I’ve trained with Kyle and have been following him for several years now. Kyle has a lot of experience with most types of gear and clothing, especially when it comes to travel and shooting. I’ve adopted some of Kyles methods for minimizing what I take when I travel, whether it’s for 3 days in the US or a week overseas. Check out how Kyle uses a single backpack for a 3-day trip.

I’m asked often about traveling since it’s part of the job. Here’s as minimalist as can be done in the summer months for a three-day turn and burn with weather always a concern. – Kyle Defoor
