96 Countries & Gang Zones: Why I Built the Trekarius 35L for Real Survival
From the gang territories of Port Moresby to the raw streets of Cape Town - this isn't travel gear. This is survival equipment.
Look, I’ve been on the road for a long time. 96 countries. I’ve seen the parts of the world they don’t put in the travel brochures. I’ve stood in places where the air feels heavy, where cameras aren't exactly welcome, and where your gear is the only thing between you and a very bad day. When you’re filming independent documentaries in high-risk zones, you realize very quickly that "designer" bags are a liability. They scream "money." They scream "tourist." And they fall apart when the humidity hits 90% or the gravel starts flying.
I didn't start a bag company because I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I started it because I was tired of gear failing me in the field. I needed a bag that could carry my life, my camera, and my safety. I needed the Trekarius Travel Pack 35L.

In my PNG Gang Documentary, I went into the heart of Port Moresby. This is a place where you don't just walk around with a tripod and a smile. People asked me, "Trekarius, how do you get these shots without getting your gear jacked?" The answer is discretion. The Trekarius 35L doesn't look expensive. It looks like a rugged, matte-black shadow. It’s stealth by design.
I spent weeks in PNG with the locals, sleeping on floors and moving through the bush. The 600D Waterproof Nylon on my bag was caked in mud and sweat. Any other bag would have rotted or the zippers would have fused. The Trekarius kept my primary drives dry and my passport in a hidden back panel that literally no one knew existed. That's not just "features"—that's peace of mind when you're 10,000 miles from home.
Cape Town: The Beauty and the Grit
South Africa is a world of contrasts. One minute you're overlooking the Atlantic from Table Mountain, the next you're navigating the complexities of the Cape Flats. In my Cape Town Documentary, I needed to transition from "nature filmmaker" to "urban journalist" in seconds. The clamshell opening on the Trekarius 35L meant I could deploy my drone and gimbal instantly.
Most travelers carry bags that are too big for the cabin but too small for real life. At 35L, this pack hits the sweet spot. It fits in the overhead bin on a bush plane, but it carries enough gear for a month of filming. I’ve lived out of this bag for 96 countries. It isn't just a product; it’s my home.
