Keeping organised while traveling with a Global Organiser Travel Bag |
When you travel keeping track of the most important things are an adventure in itself. How many times have you worried about losing your passport or keys when travelling abroad? Very often even our pockets don’t stop our valuable possessions from disappearing. Enter the Global Organiser.
This nifty little bag enables you to keep all of your small valuable possessions in one easy to access place. No longer will you be fumbling around the airport to find your passport, with this bag you will know exactly where it is at all times. It is also incredibly useful for holding your flight tickets. In fact use it for whatever you want! You can either fit small cameras in it and use it as a fairly inexpensive camera bag which you will have access to at all times. A couple of these babies would negate the need for purchasing a document holder or a phone case. It really can do it all, and the multiple functions mean that it does everything equally as well!
There are multiple storage pockets in this bag. Each one of the three pockets is strapped for security purposes. Global is a respected bag manufacturer so you do not have to worry about the zips giving out mid-holiday like you would have to with some of the other cheaper bags out there on the market.
The rather handy thing about this particular item is that you can use it in numerous different ways. It functions as a bag with a carrying strap, but the clever thing is that this strap is removable and then you can attach the Global organiser travel essential directly to your belt; an ideal solution for storing money on those long shopping trips whilst you are travelling.
You should remember that the key to staying organised whilst on holiday is having easy access to everything. I see all too many people shoving everything into their suitcases without realising that at some point they are going to have to delve into them in order to find important things. Why not use your Global Organiser Travel Essential to have your sunglasses and currency ready for you as soon as you hit warmer climates? It is also useful for storing water bottles in if you want to hike through the colder climates of the United Kingdom. I am sure that if you are travelling you will find at least some use for this handy bit of kit.
For those that wish to stay organised during their holidays should look no further than the Global Organiser Travel Essential. This perfect little product is inexpensive and will really take the frustration out of the airport and throughout the rest of your holidays. Never worry about losing your passports or flight tickets again!

Want to look cool at Uni, try a Ducti Police Line Utility Bag |
Heading to university is a terribly stressful time for most people. We are thrust into an environment with people that we don’t know and the amount of work we need to put in reaches unimaginable new highs. Many people cope by ‘dressing to impress’, one of the ways you can do this is by purchasing a fantastically cool bag that will turn heads wherever you walk, you may even secure a date with a hot girl or boy using it. Of course, it also needs to be practical for a university situation. There is one bag that fits all of these criteria; a Ducti Police Line Utility Bag. Let’s take a look in depth at just why this bag is so cool.
These bags are designed for both men and women and therefore it is suitable for all new attendees of university. One of the key things about this bag is that it is a complete storage solution. Unlike other messenger bags you have a whole range of pockets that will keep everything from your mobile phone to your school books perfectly without fear of losing them. It also keeps everything separate which will stop you having to rummage through your lunch in order to find that rogue pen that you so desperately need to take lecture notes.
I don’t know about you but for some reason at university both me and my friends had a habit of losing our keys. Have no fear about that however as this bag has convenient clips in place which will stop those pesky keys running away saving you a lot of money on the cutting bills.
What really pushes this bag into the realms of cool however is the classy ‘Police Line’ strap along the front. Once you see this bag you will realise that every other bag out there is too boring. It will really help turn heads and get you noticed at University. People won’t say that it’s the bag that caught their eye, but deep down you will know the truth.
The bag is made out of a durable material which means it should last you the entire time that you are at university, making you look incredibly cool towards the incoming students.
Ducti also have other utility bags in their range which include different straps. If the police line strap doesn’t grab your eye why not make a purchase of a bag which includes a strip that says “Danger” or “High Voltage”. The best thing is that no matter which bag you purchase you are getting the same Ducti quality each and every time.
Whilst you cannot take the stress out of university you can certainly put the cool into it. I suggest looking no further than the incredibly practical and fantastic looking Ducti Police Line Utility Bag. You really will not regret making this purchase.

Climbing adventure in Snowdonia |
Snowdonia is one of the most beautiful national parks in the United Kingdom. Nestled deep in North Wales it really is a sight to behold. There are fabulous mountain ranges for you to explore, this location is absolutely perfect for a climbing holiday. Whilst most people focus on the most popular mountain, Snowdon, you will also want to try and aim to complete the climb of some other mountains in the area including Y Garn and Moelwyn Mawr. These are of course rather spread out, I found a wheeled holdall enabled my trip between these locations to be far easier.
Due to this spreading out of ranges you will be up and travelling most of the time from base camp to base camp. Traditional suitcases are literally just a bag; there is no separating of your gear from standard clothing. This can make it a rather large hassle having to get out your walking or climbing gear each and every time, especially when it comes to having to repack it a few days later. I found a large compartmented wheeled holdall was best for my needs. The large space meant I could carry rather large bits of gear, which I certainly needed as I was engaging in Rock Climbing. It also meant that the gear was kept separate from my normal clothing, which gave me easy access to it. I used to loathe those times when I travelled with a standard suitcase and I had to move so much that it made the suitcase a mess, and of course it was a hassle to repack again.
As mentioned before, during my climbing adventure I was travelling from location to location to experience the best of what Snowdonia had to offer. A wheeled holdall made travelling to and from each location that much easier, it certainly needed a lot less energy than carrying around a 20-25 KG suitcase in my hands, especially after all that demanding climbing I had been doing. With a wheeled holdall you will forget that it is there!
I was able to fit all my climbing gear and standard clothing into my standard wheeled holdall. At times I did unpack my standard clothing and used the bag as a standard gear bag to take to locations. This gave me easy access to all the equipment I would need without running the risk of it becoming lost. The bag was also well made, which enabled it to easily put up with the rocky terrain you can expect in Snowdonia.
If you really want to have hassle free travel then the Wheeled Holdall is the best solution, especially if you are heading out on a climbing adventure. Aim to choose one which can be compartmented, this will enable you to have all the gear you require within easy access at all times. It also minimises the amount of unpacking that you will need to do. It also greatly decreases the amount of aggravation that you will experience when you travel from hotel to hotel. Nothing is worse than jumping on public transportation with a large bag that is incredibly difficult to control. One bag I do suggest that you look into is the Caribee Scarecrow DX 85. This is the bag I used and it served my needs very well due to it acting as a gear bag as well as holdall. It was incredibly light.

Getting all my walking kit up to Scotland for a holiday |
Many people head to Scotland for the fantastic walking opportunities, there are plenty of mountains for you to travel along, as well as beautiful scenery for you to gaze down upon. From the lush meadows to the beautiful lochs, the most popular of course being Loch Ness. This article is about how you can make your walking trip to Scotland that much easier if you took a wheeled holdall as opposed to a standard suitcase.
On a walking trip you will need a lot of different types of gear. You will need your walking clothes, which can involve big heavy boots and warm clothing, especially if you are travelling in Scotland where the weather can become notoriously cold. In addition to this you will need clothes for going out in the evening, perhaps to a lovely restaurant. I found my Caribee Holdall with its 70 Litre Capacity allowed me to easily fit all my required stuff inside one bag, whereas before I needed perhaps 2 in order to do this. The bag also enabled me to split it up a lot more easily so that I had easy access.
With the trip I had planned I wouldn’t be able to unpack in each and every hotel as it would be too time consuming.
A wheeled holdall makes transport a lot easier. Generally on a walking trip you will be going from hotel to hotel in order to get to the best walking spots. This is a lot of hassle each time if you have to lug around a huge bag that has no wheels, especially if you use Public Transport. My time in Scotland was a lot easier when I used a wheeled holdall.
The terrain of Scotland is incredibly rocky, so I really didn’t want to move my bag around whilst walking, it would have put too much strain on it.
The benefit of the Caribee Scarecrow 85 litre bag was that it acted as a gear bag as well, which enabled me to pick and choose the clothing and equipment I needed for that day. I didn’t have to unpack at all in order to find it, which of course as everybody knows, once you unpack it just isn’t go back in.
Once the time came to head to another walking location, all my gear was already packed up. I found it easy to navigate the crowds with a wheeled holdall, and it made it a great deal easier to board public transport to the next hotel as it took up a great deal less space than a traditional bag.
The bag that I recommend is the Caribee Scarecrow DX 85 Holdall. It is incredibly well-made with enough pockets to store everything that you will need for your trip to Scotland. It has a capacity of 100 Litres, which easily rivals other suitcases on the market. In addition to this, everything is held together with heavy duty zips that reduce the chance of breakage occurring if the suitcase is overloaded.
I really found that my trip was easier in Scotland, right from packing up my gear to actually travelling around to the various walking locations. I do suggest purchasing a wheeled travel bag for this purpose, you really will not regret it.
