Who better to give packing advice than the man who has designed his own travel backpack?
Today we bring back Fred Perotta, creator of Tortuga Backpacks, to completely geek out on packing tips and tricks.
From the items that take up the most room in your bag to how long you need to pack for we cover tips that will leave you wondering where all that space in your bag came from!
We also discuss the new Tortuga Air, the new offering from Tortuga Backpacks. If you’ve been waiting to get either of these bags they’re going to be back in stock very soon!
