No way I could have done this trip with checked luggage

Long story short:  I had a flight to Boise booked out of Logan airport in Boston last Tuesday, the day of a big snowstorm. Nothing was leaving after Monday around 7pm, so I moved my flight up. Chicago by way of Atlanta, overnight in Chicago, then on to Boise the next day.

Missed my connection in  Atlanta, spent the night there, then on to Salt Lake City the next day. And then Boise.  Through all these changes I must have been asked a dozen times "did you check any luggage sir?"

No ma'am, I did not. Do you not read my blog?  Did you not read my e-book?

Seriously there is no way I could have made that many changes with checked luggage.  A couple of flights were puddle jumpers with limited overhead storage.  No prob, with my e-bag Tech 2 I just squished it under the seat in front of me.  I'll say it again:  get it in black so it's not so visibly obvious when it sticks out a bit from under the seat.

Hey, I just got an email from the good folks at CampMor with this coupon link.  They have everything you need (plus all the stuff you didn't know you needed) for camping and minimalist travel.  Here's the link.

Also, after I did workshops in Boise and Salt Lake City and Idaho Falls, I tacked on a couple extra days to my trip and made it out to Grand Teton Park for some snowshoeing.  Check it out:
