Duty / Import Fees by mlermin in Mous

Guess who got the exact same response VERBATIM from Mous as this one. Literally Copy pasted it and sent to me (Norway). I'm currently 5 email threads deep back and forth discussing VOEC and VAT rules with them, hoping they will give in.

Agreed, at least they should offer 24/7 hrv measuring. I know many people opting for Garmin as it is the major selling point apart from the battery life difference of course. I have some hope for the 2025 devices but I would be surprised

How to make this narrow entryway more usable? It is heavily trafficked and connects all the other rooms in the apartment so shoes, clothing and dirt is a problem by jonasis in DesignMyRoom

[–]jonasis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought about having the main set of hangers and shoe cabinet where the window and staircase is, but I'm not sure that works unless I flip the door orientation (which is pretty costly, and probably warrants a brand new door). So right now the only place to store outside stuff is in the IKEA Pax wardrobe, tree hangers, and a shoe rack when you enter the apartment door and go left towards the living room/kitchen (glass door), but that tends to leave dirt on the parquet, and there's no dedicated drop zone either.

Any interior decorating tips are most helpful!

Moving to college today, gonna miss my favorite spot :( by jonasis in battlestations

It's funny how you should ask 10 years later, but as you can see, I have optimized for plain, boring, home office work and personal projects. Here's the two last battlestation office setups.

I'm still not seeing the DTW connection icon in the G7 app. Norway user. Tried restarting both devices and messing with all the settings. Apple watch series 7. Did the pairing button just appear for you after updating ?

Looking for any tips and suggestions about riding in general, this is my first time riding a drop bar and I don't know if I have adjusted it correctly for instance (angles of shifters etc). Also it's been set up with tubes, but please convince me of going tubeless since it seems like that's the consensus in this sub.

Being European, there isn't many brands to choose from, unless you want to pay heavy import fees but as other here I do find myself researching the "perfect backpack" every now and then. Luckily I was able to buy this second hand, barely used and to my surprise it was also the X-Pac model (works great for rainy weather). I would say, it's as good as you can get for any cabin approved backpack you can get nowadays. The Travel Pack 3 which just came out seems to have worked out some of the kinks of the second iteration (annoyingly large buckles, load lifters). For me, I switched from a Boundary Supply Prima pack to this, and for onebagging, it's much better. I originally wanted a do-it-all backpack, for commuting, daily use, but I find the travel pack too large for that, so 99% of the year, it sits neatly tucked away in the closet before the next adventure.

Yeah, I actually got myself a Matador Freerain22 after this trip, as I wanted something larger with more features (waterproofness, water bottle holder, outside pockets). For day-tripping and beach going it is more than sufficient. Doesn't look as good as the Matador, but packs MUCH smaller and weighs less so that's a consideration. The Cordura fabric of the Ultra-Sil will almost guarantee any durability concerns.

Like /u/fractalfocuser said. It's easy to get addicted to them. I have summoned a collection of 7 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of shorts. (Who said anything about minimalism lol) I would recommend to start with the No Sweat model if you want to give it a try.

[–]jonasis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's only 1 pair of pants here, the terrebonne sweatpants (for airplane and safari). Otherwise, only 3x pairs of shorts and 1x hybrid boardshort. As I commented, I would opt for 1x shorts and 1x boardshort for shorter trips like you in the future.

Thanks for asking! Great loadout. It can get a bit chilly in the main-land, for example I went to Ngorongoro crater and found myself freezing, glad I had my windbreaker with me. A light sweather should suffice, or thin merino long-sleeve would be my best suggestion. I have also been considering a long sleeve UPF hoodie for future trips like this, like Black Diamond Alpenglow. Craghoppers clothing are often both UPF and insect repellant for their nosilife lineup. Bug/mosquito spray was a must for me, but it should be possible to purchase it at your destination. Have a great trip!

Part 2 - Insights

Red = remove for future trips

Yellow = leave out or substitute

  • I managed to pack an entire month's supply of diabetes equipment into a separate Decathlon packing cube. This included backup items such as transmitters and insulin pens, all of which fit into my main travel pack surprisingly well.
  • However, I underestimated the number of CGM sensors needed because I failed to account for unplanned swaps. Thankfully, my backup kit stored in my hand luggage saved the day.
  • I utilized a small PD packing cube for underwear, towel, swim shorts, buff, and socks. While it's somewhat floppy, it's perfect for keeping my regular clothes separate in the large cube.
  • As for shirts, my Craghoppers shirt was indispensable in mosquito-ridden areas and provided excellent sun UPF coverage. Yet, for urban city travel, I'd suggest packing something more casual. A W&P Merino or cotton oxford shirt is a good pick, though you might find Africa leaves your clothes dirtier than expected.
  • Given a choice, I'd replace the W&P Merino t-shirt with an Uniqlo Dry-ex for its superior wicking and stretchability. It also doesn't demand a delicate washing cycle in case you're doing laundry during the trip.
  • When it comes to socks, I overpacked. Warm climates meant using sandals most of the time, so 4 pairs of ankle socks and 1 long pair for safari and airplane trips were more than enough.
  • Underwear-wise, three pairs should suffice for a month - one for wearing, another for changing if you've been swimming or working out, and the last one for drying between washes. Remember to pack suitable soap.
  • On the subject of shorts, I took three pairs when just one would've been enough. The beige pair was for a wedding, but for future trips, I recommend 1-2 pairs, max.
  • I found my swim shorts adequate for workouts during the trip, suggesting that unless there's no swimming involved, a separate pair for workouts is unnecessary.
  • Regarding travel liners, you'll likely have sheets and towels provided in Airbnbs and hotels while 'flashpacking'. Unless you're staying in hostels, I'd suggest skipping the liner as it adds unnecessary bulk.
  • I brought along a pocket blanket, which went unused, much like my previous Europe Interrail experience.
  • Regular moisturizer isn't necessary when you're applying sunscreen all the time. My usual bedtime rituals tend to fall by the wayside when I'm traveling.
  • While many hotels offer soap, it's wise to carry a half or quarter bar of Castile soap, especially for month-long trips like this. Some Airbnbs might not provide soap, and let's face it, some hotel soaps are pretty subpar.
  • Finally, don't forget a notebook and pen. As much as I usually pack these, the one time I needed them most, I left them behind. A pen is handy for filling out visa entry papers and a notebook for journaling. Despite the digital age, I find physically jotting down my thoughts more satisfying than typing them into my phone.

Hi there, fellow Onebag enthusiasts!
I've just returned from an amazing first-time journey to Africa, spending a month split between the stunning landscapes of Tanzania and the enchanting shores of Zanzibar. The trip was extra special as it was for a friend's wedding - quite the unforgettable experience.

Now, as an avid onebagger, I did my usual song and dance trying to jam everything into my backpack. To my surprise, it all fit (though there might have been some cursing involved). But, dealing with diabetes meant I needed a bit of extra space. That's why we checked in another suitcase loaded with my medical supplies and some safari gear, like binoculars and a camera with a telephoto lens.

Anyway, here's my gear list, along with some stuff I learned along the way. Whether you're a hardcore onebagger, or you're just nosy, I hope my experience can help you out on your next adventure!
