Military Duffle Bag Genuine Army Issue
If you want a large duffle that will last indefinitely, and you are getting it for FUNCTION, not for brand recognition or fashion, go military surplus. These things go through the ringer and come out fine.

For most people, samples and freebies are less of a thing at Gen Con than at, say, SDCC, but it's always good to be prepared.
I bring two bags: A large-ish messenger bag (I don't like backpacks), to hold books and dice, and a full-sized Army duffel for the one day when I'm planning to hit the vendor hall or otherwise buy stuff. Having to lug around a newly-bought giant stuffed Cthulhu that won't fit in your backpack is annoying!
A decent DE razor. I was able to find refills at the local grocery store on Ko Pha Ngan, so even if you don't check luggage and have to through out the blades (not the razor), you should be able to find them anywhere, and a ten pack takes up little room.
A good dry bag. Keep your important stuff in it when moving, wash your laundry in it when you need to without access to a proper sink or washing machine (soap, water, cloths, let it soak, squish for a bit, then hang dry on some 550 twisted cord.) Some areas I've been have showers and not very large sinks with plugs.
Multitool? watch out for knife laws. Japan is strict about knives and I don't know which others are.
An army equivalent duffel bag. No frame so you can pack it along with other stuff in a smaller bag, but it has been used to expand for shopping for longer durations when our smaller packs wouldn't do, unless you are into Furoshiki which uses a sheet of fabric many ways, it is a one use wonder.
> find a large sack with a decent harness that will compress down to nothing.
What you want is a Navy surplus sea bag.
Sandbags! Get yourself a cheap military bag from a military surplus store, like this. Fill it with 40-80 lbs, 20-35 kg, of rubber chips from a home improvement store, or sand and tape up the end and use for squats, lunges, over head presses, rows, and anything else you can think of.
In the NOT $200+ range:
C-Bag.
In no way stylish or pretty and lacks a belt (can you sew?), but they're solid and will last through most anything. Still have mine from the navy.
Can be found online for $10-20 but make sure it's the military one, not an offbrand.
