Long Term Traveler Bag
"For the Professional Traveler"
Long Term Traveler Bag
The Traveler Bag is the home of modern day Hobos, Vagabonds, and Travelers, we often call ourselves Traveler Bagers, however this name is misleading, the Pros carry a "Travel Bag," especially designed to stop theft and rough usage by the most dangerous animal on the planet.
"The Human."

I am Andy of HoboTraveler.com, I have traveled for over 10 years, I do not have a home, I am a perpetual traveler. I am designing a professional traveler bag to make and sell called the Windmill Travel Bag or the Windmill Traveler Pack System. This is the challenge and adventure of travel, to find the path that leads us to our homes away from home without being robbed on the way there.

Traveler Bag Questions to help Design Windmill Long-term Travel Bag
What stops thieves.
1. A bag that does not look valuable, a good travel bag should look cheap, not beautiful.
2. A bag that does have the shape, tht looks like it carries valuable goods. For example, a high price camera bag obviously has a camera inside. A high price luggage normally has expensive items inside. Hiding in plain sight, this is the goal.
3. Layers, the more layers of material between a thief and the objects of value, the less ability for a thief to get to these objects.
4. Locking the bag up to other object, this bag will have a chain system whereby you can lock it up to a pole or other hard to move objects.
5. Less to watch, there is only one lock on the main compartment. Thieves want an opportunity, they want you to forget to zip shut one of your compartments so they can reach in and snatch items.
6. Convenience of safety, as a reverse logic example. People do not use the pacsafe because it is inconvenient. A good bag needs to be very convenient to be secured and safe.
