Hi Ayngelina!
We can’t remember if we bought it directly through their site or on Amazon (link is on the bottom right of our blog).
You may be able to find it through a Canadian supplier, not sure, we are from the US and did not investigate that angle.
Good luck!

Hi guys,

I wasn’t planning on buying anything pacsafe but I was planning to bring a cable lock/cord combo for my bag.

Did you buy the bag from the pacsafe site? Spending 150 on a day bag makes me feel ill, and I’m wondering if you found a Canadian supplier for less.

HI Sarah! We did keep the camera inside the pacsafe. IT was kept in a camera shoulder bag (padded) and then the entire pacsafe bag was lined with a waterproof drysack. We had so much stuff in that pacsafe there was no bouncing around, and the camera bag cushioned it when placed on bus floors, ferries, etc.

Great article! Do you keep your Nikon D40 in your Daysafe 100? If so, did you purchase an additional camera insert to protect your camera from bouncing around? I’ll be bringing my Nikon D90 on my journey.

Happy travels!

Hey Jeannine. I would recommend bringing some pepper spray and maybe even one of those personal panic alarms. The loud noise would be enough to scare off any cowardly thieves.

At the very least, get some good traveler’s insurance on your items.

hey! how is the wondering? well i am a solo wanderer in preparation. i am a lady, tend to draw weirdos and have a smile that can melt most barriers. i have never traveled out of the country or on my own but i am leaving this summer to start my rtw extended journey in latin america. people say you’ll be raped, mugged blah, blah blah. truth is, i have no choice, i must go. i have no one to go with and this will not change, nor do i wish it to. i have crap, lots of crap. camera’s, lap top, hard drive not to mention the normal stuff. i am smart, and no how to stay “safe” and out of obvious trouble but as a young, solo girl am i making a mistake? i will be traveling mainly via bus. will i be a target? are buses in s. america a bad idea? yeah, my saga. thanks for listening and for treading the path.

all the rainbows that sunshine can bring,
jeannine

[...] you’ve been following this site for a while, you may recall my near robbery on a bus in Quito, Ecuador. My PacSafe daybag saved the day but it did get a bit damaged in the fiasco. Although it is not [...]

This made me laugh like we did at all the family parties growing up. Our parents thought we were up to no good and guess what: We were! I hope we don’t get grounded now that I admitted our guilt.

We love comments like this! I wish our readers would post more of them.

I think we forgot to activate our wandering twin powers. Wasn’t one twin always a bucket of water? We’ve seen plenty of that in the last month with all the rain. I think I’ll stick to my bearded wanderer persona for now. It makes WD mad so why shave?

Thanks John!

Hey wanderingsean!, and Hey wanderingdawn!,
This website is the best! im on it almost every day, looking for new posts and wondering what is going to happen next. I’ve been following for about 2 months now. You two are such an inspiration to so many people. Most of us only imagine and dream of making the kind of voyage your are living.

There’s just one thing has been eating at me though, and i must have an answer. Before you left on this trip, did you both get together and say:

WANDER TWINS ACTIVATE………………….
(wanderingsean)……in shape of a bearded wanderer in search of the most elusive turtle on planet earth!……….

(wanderingdawn)…..in shape of an amazing wife in search of the ultimate yoga safari!…….

i have been laughing out loud at your posts, both of you are such great writers.

The pacsafe info. is great. Who would have thought these products would make such a big difference in your trip. I can believe how close those ladrons were to getting a big old can of NEW YORK WHOOPASS opened up on them! you should thank pacsafe for saving you thousands on bail money!!!

Be safe, we’ll be watching!
