Tools of the Trade


Travel can be a transformative experience… and a huge hassle. From packing, to getting through airport security, to navigating a country where you don’t speak the language, exploring the world isn’t easy. For most people, the problems start before they even leave the house. The first point of anxiety is often packing.

Tips for Packing Lighter


Packing light is a mindset that will make your trip less stressful. 
  1. Pack “must haves,” not “just in case” items
  2. Pack enough outfits for one week of travel and re-wear clothes on a longer trip
  3. Avoid bulky items and pack layerable pieces instead
  4. If you need to bring something bulky, wear it on the plane instead of packing it
  5. Bring no more than two pairs of shoes
  6. Choose the right fabrics
  7. Simplify your color palette

Any craftsman knows that having the right tools makes all the difference. It is no different with packing.
When our co-founders, Fred and Jeremy, took their first trip to Europe, with the wrong bags, a lot travel hours were spent struggling with bad luggage. Out of that experience Tortuga backpacks was born and our quest to create the best carry on travel bag began. Everyone at Tortuga started with poor packing skills that evolved, by trial and error, as we learned things the hard way. Slowly, we developed systems for ourselves to streamline the packing process and make the chore of getting from A to B easier and more enjoyable.
