lola: ba’t ang dami mong bag??
me, trying to explain each bag’s purpose: 👁️👄👁️
I can explain. I have a work bag, an overnight/gym bag, a hiking bag, a dry bag, a bag for small groceries, bag for big groceries, small tote bag for fast errands, bigger tote bag for longer errands, an alternative work bag, an alternative hiking bag, tote bag for going around the house, etc.
I feel so judged 😔 ginagamit ko naman sila lahat, naka-rotation pa depending kung nasa laundry pa. Plano ko pa nga bumili ng mesh bag for the dry groceries kasi ayaw ko na ng plastic, puno na yung paper/plastic collection bag ko. Add food grade silicone bags and air-tight, reusable, compressible ziplock bags and bawas talaga ang plastic consumption ko. Plastic from deliveries na lang yung problema ko, idk what to do with that tbh.
Basta sumasakit ulo ko sa plastic bag. I can hear a dying scream of some creature suffocating out there in the back of my mind every time a fresh one is used when I could’ve used a reusable one. I’m not being annoying and preachy about it, it’s just a personal thing that just developed dahil sa nakikita kong waste generated sa work. And now I am sad.
> ginagamit ko naman sila lahat
As someone who tries to make do with whatever bag I have (currently have three: a camping bag for multi-day outings, a backpack for single-day outings, and a sling/messenger bag for quick outings), so long as each bag has its use and is being used and taken care of properly, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
I’d probably argue for a small set of bags that fits most, if not all, possible usecases, but that’s really a matter of taste.
You’d probably have an aneurysm on how I use plastic bags though. I try to maximize their reuse, however. But when I pack for multi-day outings, I tend to use one plastic bag per piece of clothing (a habit I picked up from mountain-climbing geeks), and then group those bags according to function (that is, one plastic bag for tops, another one for bottoms, yet another one for underwear, and still another one for dirty clothes–individually packed). When I get home, I turn those plastic bags inside-out, and then dry them, and when dry fold them neatly for next time.
Mejo matrabaho at mabusisi, but that’s how I try to keep plastic use at a minimum.
I did not have an aneurysm, that’s pretty good! Acknowledged naman that in this country plastic use can’t be helped, not like it’s been banned by the government. Maganda na nga yung pag-reuse mo eh.
May organization pa din pala for function of clothing :o that’s pretty cool, pick up ko rin ah thanks 😎 maybe I should find a mountain climbing geek too hahahaha
Yeah, and basically, the main purpose behind using plastic in that scenario is to keep the clothes from getting wet when fording across a river, or when trekking during rains, or any mishap, really. Combined with the so-called ranger roll, I end up being able to put more clothes into my bag without worrying about dirty clothes messing up my clean clothes. A bonus side-effect is that my bag don’t smell like dirty clothes after a prolonged outing.
So, bale the entire thing is as follows:
And that’s it! I bundle up the rolls and put them in their separate plastic bags (one for tops, one for bottoms, another one for underwear) and put them inside the camping bag. I usually make sure to push all the air out as well.
When putting back dirty clothes, I roll them as described above, and then take a plastic bag (the from the ones the clean clothes came out of), put it in there, and then place it in the designated “dirty clothes” plastic bag.
I also try to pack the “more durable clothing” at the bottom, then any fragile stuff in the middle, surrounded by other less durable clothing (to absorb any impacts from the outside). Of course, I try to make sure that the most used items are on top, since it’d be a hassle fishing for stuff in a very tightly-packed camping bag. Also, I bring a spare eco-bag for when the dirty/wet stuff fails to pack properly. Learnt that lesson the hard way during an outing that involved swimming. Lol!
Ayun, I know this is unsolicited advice, but I thought I’d just share to give more background behind my previous reply.
Used to have a ton of bags back when I was working in the office. Backpack with rain cover if there’s a typhoon/heavy rain, crossbody messenger bag for my daily use, another backpack that has tethered zippers in case I’m bringing something that needs to be super secured, tiny sling bag enough for just my wallet and phone during Fridays because there’s free lunch, and backpack during gym days (when I was still a regular). Also have some rare bags for specialized trips like hiking (the massive Deuter one lol) and a travel backpack when going overnight/2-3 day outings.
Now I only have two bags: a small crossbody and a slightly larger sling for carrying the Steam Deck when on a doctor’s appointment.
