OneBag - The Art of Minimalist Travel

r/onebag

Onebagging allows you to immerse yourself in your destination by using your bag as a tool, not as the main focus of your trip. The r/onebag community promotes urban travel with the philosophy of carrying less. By packing fewer items into a single bag, you simplify your travel experience and prioritize exploration over logistics.

Seeking Recommendation/Help

RULES

1. Be Nice! - Sarcasm and humor are cool, but just being outright mean will get you warned and then banned.

2. Onebag travel Related Posts Only - Posts/requests for bag recommendations should be travel related. Requests for EDC/commute/school bags should be posted on subreddits such as r/manybaggers and r/backpacks.

3. No Low-Effort Posts - Text posts should include contextual narrative. If you include a link to an external website or blog, provide at least a few sentences of context for the link.

Low effort posts include, but are not limited to: posts which indicate a lack of prior research; posts without descriptions (title only, no body); asking questions without providing enough context; posts not positively contributing to onebag travel (memes, etc).

Mod discretion will be used for post removal.

4. No Direct Links to External Websites - "Direct link posts" to external websites other than imgur, flickr, or reddit images will be removed. You may link to an external website within a text post with additional contextual narrative.

First time offenders will receive a warning and a 1-week ban. Second time will result in an indefinite ban.

This rule is in place to prevent spammers from taking over the sub.

5. No Referral Links or Codes - Posts with referral links and codes are not permitted. Posts with links to videos, blogs, reviews, or news articles which contain referal links or codes should include context and will be reviewed and removed if they do not provide high content value. This keeps content quality high, and removes the incentive of profit for redditors who post and comment, keeping the community fair, honest, and ethical.

6. No Marketing or Research Posts - No marketing, research, or advertising posts. Advertising of your own company, blogs, websites, social media accounts, Youtube channel, etc. must make up no more than 10% of your overall contribution to this subreddit. This will be at moderator discretion.
