June 19, 2013 Welcome to the Archive Site for One Bag, One World.
Here you will find all blog postings and forum discussions from our inception in 2007 through June 18, 2013.
To get back to our main site, go to:
June 19, 2013 At 1:30 AM ET (USA) we switched to our new website.
It may take up to 24 hours for the servers to update and you may get an error message. If you do, try deleting all “1bag1world” cookies to see if that helps.
Otherwise, please be patient. It is working. I was able to get one browser to work but none of the others.
June 18, 2013 As many of you know, on Wednesday, June 19, we’ll be switching over to our new website.
Once the switch is made, it may take from a few minutes to a few hours to a full day for the servers to update.
If by Thursday you’re still getting this page, try first to clear your cache and cookies. Then reconnect. Make sure you’re using the following address:
If you’re still having problems, check our Facebook page and Twitter account as I’ll use them to announce any problems we may be facing.
If there are no problem announcements and you’re still can’t connect, use the “Email OBOW” link above to send me an email and I’ll try to help.
Oh, one last thing….if you have an adblock on your browser, it may block some of our content. Don’t worry, there are no popups or ads or anything like that. It just seems that some ad blockers are blocking some of the links on our site. My suggestion is to disconnect them for our site.
One more note….we will not be migrating any postings from this site, both blog and forum, over to the new site. If there’s a thread that is currently active here, feel free to start it again on our new forum. It’s just too difficult, and too costly, to try to move all the copy over. We’re limited in manpower and finances so this just isn’t possible.
June 17, 2013 On Wednesday, June 19, I plan to move to our new website. This move can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days—much is out of my control.
While the move is going on, I will keep people updated on both our Facebook and Twitter accounts:
http://www.facebook.com/1bag1world
http://twitter.com/1bag1world
I suggest you subscribe to either of the above or both to be kept up to date.
There are numerous steps to this transfer and we’re trying to do it with the least disruption to the readers. (And since I’m not a techie, I’m trying to figure this out with limited help.)
Cross your fingers and wish us luck.
June 16, 2013 Phase One of the new One Bag, One World website is ready. I was going to wait until July 1 to make the change but I’m thinking that we should do it sooner.
The first thing I need all of you to do is check your bookmarks and favorites if that’s what you use to get to this site. It should read:
http://www.1bag1world.com
If you’re still using the old onebagger.squarespace.com address you won’t get to the new site. It will keep you here which will become the archive site. It will be closed to all future postings and comments.
Once we’re ready to the make the move itself, it may take a day or two for the transfer to take effect, but I’ll give you some warning.
May 29, 2013 As you know, a couple of times a year, I put up for sale some of the items we’ve received for review to help defray the costs of this website.
Before I go into what bags are for sale, let me tell you what’s been going on at OBOW and what’s in store.
You’ve probably noticed that postings have been few. That’s because there have been a mixture of things going on behind the scenes.
The first is I’ve been busy with outside work. That’s about to change. (With some possible big announcements in 2014.)
The second, well, I wasn’t going to mention yet but I’ll give you a hint. For the past few months, I’ve been working on a complete redesign of this website. New look, new format, AND new features including a Reader’s Forum with CATEGRORIES!!!! The look will be much more streamlined and user friendly.
The scope of OBOW will expand to include tutorials, trip reports and postings from guest authors.
That’s all I’m going to say for now. Stay tuned to find out more. (And look for it to go live in about a month of so.)
In the meantime, the following bags are for sale. All are in brand new condition, most still have their original tags.

Lat 56 Small Messenger Case $120
Guragear Chobe with insert $195
