How To Pack For A One Night Trip

Written By AJ

I recently had to travel a couple hours away to Portland Oregon for a show that I was attending. An untimely flu ripped through my friend Greg’s house, where I was supposed to stay, so I ended up at a Courtyard Marriot near the airport and convention center.

Packing for one night trips can be a little tricky because it’s tempting to bring a bunch of stuff. I decided an overnight duffle bag and my smaller backpack would do the trick and I was right.

My trip was a Thursday to Friday, weather in the 40’s through 60’s, and no major social plans in the evening to dress for.

In my duffle bag I brought the following:

  • 1 Pair of Extra Pants: Jeans

  • 1 Grey Short Sleeve Polo Shirt: Target (All in Motion)

  • 1 Black 1/4 Zip Sweater: Golf Brand Hager

  • 1 Pair Gym Shorts

  • 1 Black T-Shirt: Target (All In Motion)

  • 1 Pair of Boxers: REI

  • Shoes: Vans (With 1 pair of Darn Tough 1/4 height Hike/Run socks in each shoe)

  • Puffy Jacket: Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer

  • Small USB Powered Fan

  • 10,000 MAH USB Battery Block (This would go in my backpack if I was flying, can’t check batteries and bags get gate checked all the time now)

  • Bluetooth Speaker: (Same as above, wouldn’t pack if it was a flight)

  • Dop Kit

    • Deodorant, Tooth Brush and Tooth Paste, Lotion, Razor, Q Tips, Cologne, Blistex, Melatonin, Comb, Pommade.

In my backpack I brought the following:

  • 14” Macbook Pro

  • 12.9” iPad Pro

  • Leather Journal

  • Tech Pouch

    • Charger Block, USB - Cables & adapters, computer mouse, SSD Hard Drive, Pens, Apple Pencil, Slide Advancer

  • 5,000 MAH Batter Block

  • Camera Pouch

    • Sony A6500, DJI Action 5, DJI Mic Mini’s, DJI Pocket 2, Shotgun Microphone, Batteries, ND Filter, Accessories

  • Travel Tripod: Cayer CH10L with a Falcam Quick Release

  • Water Bottle

  • Rain Jacket: Mountain Hardwear Stretch Ozonic
