To save money and time checking in bags I use a hiking bag as my carry on. This bag will contain my Foxelli hiking boots, my Hoka walking shoes, drone travel bag and of course clothing. I use this hiking bag for a 3-4 day exploration. Everything fits perfect in this bag. Depending on the season, I can get 6-8 outfits to comfortably fit along with everything else that was mentioned previously.
All of these items can be found on my beacon page ( beacons.ai/exploration_wonders ). This link will take you to my Linktree account where everything I recommend for travel will be accessible.
