For our giveaway week, Tom Bihn has donated one of our favorites: The Aeronaut. We use the Aeronaut ourselves, in fact, I used as my main bag during our travels last year through Europe.

We’ve also reviewed the bag, which you can check out here: Straight Outta Seattle: Tom Bihn Travel Bags Review.  As an added bonus for all the dog lovers out there, we’ll also be throwing in a stuffed toy Bat from Tom Bihn’s new company, Skookum Dog, which was inspired by their dogs and their  love for the outdoors!

    Also, I just found your blog and really appreciate the layout and design, functionality, photos, tips and information! My husband and I leave for a one year trek through Europe in February and your site is so helpful. We’ve been researching bags, and after learning about Tom Bihn I am sold. These bags are awesome, this company is fantastic and we’re actually from the Northwest and are excited to support a local business! Thanks for the posts!
