[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or large sling?

I understand for hiking.  But in 2023, in an urban settings what in the world are people carrying around that requires the need for a full backpack.

We travel all of the world and have never had the need for any type of bag to go sightseeing, walking, exploring in a city.

I carry medication in my pocket, my Apple Watch, small wallet and nothing else.  DH brings his phone, slim battery back up, small wallet, glasses wipe, tiny flashlight, pepto, small tiny foldable bag which are all in front pants pockets.  Slim battery goes in back pocket. [/quote]

First of all, that's a lot of stuff to keep in pockets. And not all clothing has big pockets; in fact, lots of my sundresses don't have any pockets.

Second, how do you carry sunscreen - if you are out all day you will need to reapply? Hats and sunglasses when you are inside? Water bottle? Any maps or souvenirs you pick up along the way? And so on?

It's much easier to start with one bag that fits everything with room to spare. [/quote]
