Did it work?

So the big question of the hour is "Did it work?" Absolutely! For the first time that I can remember in years, I was able to take a long trip and never lost anything since I knew exactly where everything was in the bag. Unfortunately, I can't say this about our clothes packing so I guess I'll need to apply the first two rules to my clothing in the future.The Western Flyer received a lot of abuse during the trip. We took a total of ten airline flights, spent time in buses, and bounced around in safari vehicles, and everything stayed protected and in its proper location. I appreciated the waterproof design of this bag when it was with me on an open safari vehicle at Kruger National Park one day and I neglected to cover it up during a rainstorm. The zippers are gasketed and waterproof, so nothing touched the electronic gear, even though I was drenched. The Western Flyer bag worked so well that I'll be using Tom Bihn's new Checkpoint Flyer (it is one of the cases that is TSA-approved so that you don't need to remove your laptop to go through security) for my business trips from now on. Please feel free to share your stories about your favorite ways to pack for international or business trips with a huge pile of electronic gear. You can leave your comments below.
