We’ve talked Recently we talked about Gravel Toiletry Bags and blankets, the SENSE3 Charging Pad and the Uphold travel cutlery set, among others.

hmmm..that might be useful on an upcoming trip with lots of camping gear.
Thanks PWaC!
Glad to help!
looking at this more in detail now…I wonder how effective it works if I have a backpack — well on my back. Does that inhibit the strap much?
…well read the details, only works for carry-ons up to 30 lbs it says. My camping check-in luggage is 40-50lb+…so don’t think this is gonna work.
I don’t have a wheeled carry-on. Though I reckon if I ever did, this would be useful.
Thank you! The Retrastrap is one of those examples of genius lying not so much in the invention itself but in creating it before anyone else. I just snagged one for the Misses!
