Hynes Eagle makes some great budget backpacks for one bag travel. If you enjoyed my Review of the 2 in 1 backpack, this post is designed to give you some tips to pack the bag for carry on travel. I’ve included the packing list and a ton of pictures of how I’ve pack this backpack.
This packing list is designed for 2+ weeks somewhere with a cold weather climate. I include several layers of clothes, a great way to keep you warm while saving weight. If you want to modify this list for warmer weather, just remove a layer, or bring something thinner. For colder weather, use the same system, but increase the thickness.

Packing the Hynes Eagle 2 in 1
I used the set of packing cubes that you can buy with the bag. Pretty good deal at only $10, worth it if you’re already buying the backpack. The large cube is quite large, it takes up the entire bottom of the cube. The other two nestle on top.
After packing the cubes in the bag, fit the other blocky items around in the gaps. There should be a pretty large space on the top of the bag. This is big enough for my toiletry kit, and 16L daypack. I put the rain jacket and puffy jacket on top of the cubes and used the compression straps to keep them in place.
I used a pretty minimalist setup for electronics here. I didn’t use a laptop or tablet, but you can easily fit a 15″ laptop in the back compartment. It just makes the bag heavier. I ususlly don’t bother with a laptop unless I absoutely need one. My phone covers what I need in most circumstances.
This front Compartment is plenty large enough for all my electronics and misc items. I packed the Electronics in a small Eagle Creek mesh cube. I’m not a huge fan of the daypack attached to the bag. If you’re going to zip it on the backpack, you won’t have access to this pocket. Just store these items in the daypack.
