I dreaded travel days when I would have to roll my suitcase on uneven cobblestones and wrestle it up four flights of stairs after arriving at another hotel that didn’t have an elevator. And lastly, this bag is complex. It’s made up of over 300 individual components and requires over 200 steps to assemble. Germany faces prolonged uncertainty over gas supplies to its energy-hungry industries, leaving Europe’s largest economy in the unfamiliar role of appealing to other EU states to show more solidarity after a dramatic plunge in Russian exports amid western opposition to its war against Ukraine. It’s constructed from eco-friendly materials and though not fully waterproof, it’s held up well over the past few years.

Up until now, the only duffel bag I’ve taken on my travels is my LL Bean duffel that is as practical as it is simple. A spokesperson for the British prime minister, Rishi Sunak, said on Tuesday Downing Street was open about its desire to work with a number of countries to help manage volatility in energy prices, but specifically mentioned the US as one country “where we do feel that there is more we can do to work together”. Pakt produces all of its items in Asia, where they also source most of their materials. Many of their suppliers and manufacturers are in Vietnam, where they’ve proven to provide safe, fair, and humane workplaces and halves the price of what they would be if made in America.Besides its spot-on marketing, it looked like the perfect duffel for my style of travel – organized, stylish, minimalist, and straight-forward. Unpredictable events, such as damage to critical gas infrastructure in Germany or its neighbouring states or a sudden onset of extreme cold weather, could still force Müller to ask the government to announce an emergency. “Just a few days of extreme cold in January, February or March would have significant impact on our gas use.” Lastly, there’s also a waist strap. It’s nothing substantial like a hip belt, so don’t expect it to offload any kind of weight from the shoulder straps. This is really more for stability as it helps keep the bag’s lower half centered and close to you. It’s also completely detachable via gatekeeper clips if you don’t need it.

The other half is behind a zipped panel. Between them is a pouch, which is in fact the laptop compartment.

The duffel shape offers a roomy 35L capacity in a carry-on size, though the single shoulder strap may be too heavy and uncomfortable for longer trips due to uneven weight distribution.TL;DR: After over 3 years of testing my Pakt One travel bag, I recommend it if you’re looking for a minimalist weekender bag. Here are the key takeaways from my Pakt One review: Müller said he was increasingly confident his country had “a good chance” of making it through winter without having to ration supplies. There’s a pen holder, too. It has holes on both sides, which means you can slide your pen in from either end. This might be ideal from an accessibility point of view, but if the button accidentally gets pushed or you lose the cap, you may end up with ink marks inside your sling, so be careful!

Following a series of engagements with beneficiaries, experts and stakeholders to identify priority sectors in Malaysia, the High Commission now welcomes proposals for projects in three areas of focus: Green Finance, Energy and Climate Action Enabling Environment (CAEE).With its long coastline, the UK has a geographic advantage when it comes to infrastructure for importing liquid natural gas [LNG],”, said Klaus Müller, the head of the federal network agency for utilities, Bundesnetzagentur. “But the experience of the last few weeks has also shown us that the size of the gas network also matters. The larger the network, the easier to adjust temporary deficits.”
