You're aware of his packing list, right? Very few of us need to carry what he needs to.

 

Those of you using a B-R, what do you do for accesory bag suspension? I'm kind of married to the J-hook, but other strap devices are ok, as long as I have a means to hitch a tote bag.

BTW, they are connected to Costco Wholesale now and the proces seem to be 40% or more off list, via Costco.com. Looks like the Essential is not offered through the Costco relatonship, but there's other models.

 

I figure it out. I either bring a 26 or 4 bags. But I've had managers complain the 4th bag is a prob either from the color (its gray) or the quantity if deadheading.

Did your reading comprehension fail you? I have to fly with "required by SI" stuff and "spares" that the FAA requires I fly with that takes up HALF of a 26 roller.

Nevermind that I've never had a prosthetic fail ever, which considering the sports I do (Mountain Biking, Motocross, Supercross, Adventure Biking) is way more a torture test in a week than a career of walking through the airport the FAA makes me carry a spare, which is funny because for my SODA I had to demo I can still fly without it if needed.

So I'm basically going on 5-6 day trips with an effectively 13 inch roller, the LW square-ish tote hanging on the hook and the small aurora cooler for the refrigerated med and my need in flight stuff. So headset, glasses, iPad, chargers, certificates plus a couple vials and needles in a smaller ice pack bag inside the cooler bag. Oh, and a small sharps container.

Other than the 26 roller I have one of the smaller load outs I've seen. Which considering all the crap I have to bring per the FAA I think I pack pretty well.

But even on a day trip, I'm bringing a 22 roller because my medical states "must have spare prosthetic available when flying" and since its "stored" in my running shoes, they go on every flight even a lap in the pattern in a 152. Granted in the 152 they just get thrown behind the seat in a helmet bag.

And with reroutes/ delays I'd be a fool not to bring my cpap because if end up somewhere overnight unexpectedly, can't fly unless I slept at least 6 hours with it on.

 

My standard sized, metal frame and fabric roller had been with me since 2006. Holds what I need for a 5 day domestic trip and will accomadate a 12 pack of Spotted Cow. I've replaced the wheels once and bearings twice along with adding a wooden handle when the foam disintegrated.

 

Well done! My strong bag just hauled a 12 pack of Spotted Cow home last trip. 🍻. It’s lasted about 10 years. My previous LW lasted about 7. The CRJ200 overhead bins were hell on the LW rivets.

 

My cpap will ride outside for Spotted Cow, Heady Topper and some other beers I find on the road.

 

You have a fine taste in cerveza!

 

The man is ****in Darth Vader…..he can pack however he wants.

 

I’m using the J hook with my Brightline cockpit bag. I’m looking for someone who can 3D print a tiny piece of plastic I can screw in to keep the hook in place if anyone has a business printing $.03 plastic and selling it for $10.

I love the B&R but the J hook design is a miss.

 

According to my wife I'm either the Teemu or Great Value knockoff Darth Vader.

Burns, can't breathe, missing some parts, good pilot but no force powers.
