The Night I Almost Lost Everything in Prague
Three years ago, I was shooting B-roll for a travel documentary in Prague’s Old Town. My camera bag sat next to me at an outdoor café—right next to me—while I reviewed footage on my laptop. I looked down for maybe thirty seconds to adjust a color grade. When I looked up, the bag was gone. Six thousand dollars of gear, passport tucked in the side pocket, and all my memory cards from the previous three days of shooting.
I got lucky. A server had moved it behind the counter because she’d seen someone eyeing it. But that sick feeling in my stomach—that “I just destroyed my entire production” panic—taught me more about travel security than any blog post ever could.
Since then, I’ve worked on film projects across four continents. I’ve slept in hostels in Bangkok, dealt with equipment customs issues in Morocco, and navigated “lost” luggage containing irreplaceable camera gear. Travel safety isn’t about paranoia. It’s about staying sharp enough to focus on the work—or the adventure—instead of worrying about what could go wrong.
The Problem: We Prepare for the Wrong Things
Most travel safety advice focuses on the dramatic stuff. Kidnappings. Political unrest. Natural disasters. And sure, those matter. But in ten years of traveling for film work, you know what’s actually derailed productions and ruined trips?
Pickpockets. Food poisoning. Lost passports. Cancelled credit cards because the bank thought charges from Romania were fraud. A crew member who didn’t check visa requirements and got sent home from the airport. The mundane stuff that nobody thinks about until it’s 2 AM and you’re trying to explain to a police officer that yes, someone really did steal your laptop with the only copy of your edit.
When we were shooting “The Camping Discovery,” our DP’s insurance didn’t cover international equipment rental. We found out when a lens got damaged. That’s a $4,000 mistake that happened because nobody asked the boring questions beforehand.
Road traffic accidents are actually one of the leading causes of death for travelers abroad, but nobody worries about crossing the street. We obsess over unlikely scenarios while ignoring the real risks right in front of us.
Travel safety isn’t sexy. It’s reading the fine print on your insurance policy. It’s making a backup of your backup. It’s knowing that the most dangerous thing you’ll probably encounter isn’t a wild animal or a criminal—it’s your own assumption that everything will just work out.
The Underlying Cause: The Planning Paradox
Here’s the thing about travel planning: the more excited you are about a trip, the less likely you are to think about what could go wrong. I call it the Planning Paradox.
You spend hours researching the best camera angles for the Eiffel Tower or which Thai beach has the clearest water. You read reviews of hotels. You build elaborate shot lists. But asking “what if my passport gets stolen?” feels like inviting bad luck. It’s a buzzkill when you’re dreaming about adventure.
I’ve done it. Before shooting “Noelle’s Package” in Vancouver, I spent three weeks planning shots and exactly zero minutes confirming my health insurance worked abroad. (It didn’t. Found out when a crew member needed stitches. That was a fun bill.)
The other issue? Information overload makes us freeze. Google “travel safety tips” and you’ll find 47 different lists telling you to do everything from buying specialized anti-theft clothing to learning self-defense. It’s overwhelming, so we do nothing. Or we do the easy stuff—like buying travel-size shampoo—and skip the important stuff, like actually reading what our travel insurance covers.
The production world taught me something useful: the best safety protocols are the ones you’ll actually follow. On set, we don’t have 100-page safety manuals. We have call sheets with emergency contacts at the top and a few critical rules everyone follows. That’s it. Your travel safety plan should work the same way.
The Solution: Build Your Pre-Production Checklist
Film sets don’t function without pre-production. Neither should your trips.
Every project I’ve worked on starts with the same question: “What could stop us from completing this shoot?” Then we solve for those things before they happen. Same approach works for travel.
Your Essential Five (Non-Negotiable)
1. The Legal Lifeline
On the “Married & Isolated” shoot, we had a location dispute that almost became a legal nightmare. Having an entertainment lawyer we could call saved that production. For travel, the equivalent is knowing who to call when things go sideways.
Before any international trip, I save three contacts: a lawyer who handles international issues (some credit cards include legal hotline services), my country’s embassy number for wherever I’m going, and a local emergency contact. Not because I think I’ll need them. Because the one time you need them and don’t have them, you’re screwed.
The U.S. State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program lets you register your trip so the embassy can contact you during emergencies and send safety updates. Similar services exist for UK citizens, Australian travelers, and most other countries. Check your government’s travel advisory website before booking anything—not the tourism board’s site, the actual government warning system.
Countries currently under “do not travel” advisories typically include active war zones, areas with ongoing terrorist threats, or regions experiencing extreme civil unrest. These lists change frequently, so check them close to your departure date, not when you’re daydreaming about the trip six months out.
2. The Document Backup System
Here’s my system, learned after that Prague scare:
Physical copies of my passport, driver’s license, insurance cards, and credit cards live in three places: in my bag, in my luggage, and with someone at home. Digital copies go in my email (sent to myself), in cloud storage, and on my phone. Overkill? Maybe. But when Thai customs wanted to see my yellow fever vaccination record and I could pull it up in thirty seconds, that “overkill” saved me from missing my connecting flight.
For film work, I do the same with equipment lists, serial numbers, and rental agreements. If someone steals your camera in a foreign country, good luck making an insurance claim without that serial number.
Also keep digital copies of:
- Travel insurance policy numbers and emergency hotlines
- Hotel confirmations and addresses
- Flight itineraries
- Prescriptions for medications
- Emergency contact list
- Blood type and allergy information
3. Insurance That Actually Works
Read your policy. I mean actually read it. Most travel insurance sounds comprehensive until you discover it doesn’t cover “high-value electronics” or has a deductible that makes claims pointless.
For film gear, I use separate equipment insurance. For travel, I look for policies that cover:
- Medical emergencies (including evacuation—this matters more than you think)
- Trip cancellation and interruption
- Lost/stolen belongings with actual replacement value, not “depreciated value”
- 24/7 emergency assistance hotline
- Natural disaster coverage
- Adventure activities if you’re doing anything risky
Compare policies from reputable providers like World Nomads, Allianz, SafetyWing, or check if your credit card offers travel insurance as a benefit. Read the fine print about pre-existing conditions, coverage limits, and exclusions. The $50 you save on a cheaper policy could cost you thousands when you actually need it.
4. The Money Strategy
Never carry all your cash and cards in one place. I learned this watching a pickpocket work a metro station in Barcelona—he got a tourist’s wallet, but if that wallet contained everything, that tourist’s trip was over.
My system: Primary credit card in my wallet. Backup credit card hidden in my bag. Emergency cash split between my money belt and a separate compartment. I notify my bank before traveling (prevents fraud blocks), and I use credit cards instead of debit cards abroad because the fraud protection is better.
ATM safety rules:
- Use them during business hours at bank branches, not at random kiosks at 2 AM
- Cover the keypad when entering your PIN
- Check for skimming devices (loose card readers, unusual cameras)
- Take your receipt or destroy it
- Don’t count large amounts of cash in public
When we were shooting “Blood Buddies” in Eastern Europe, our production coordinator’s card got compromised. Because we’d planned for it—multiple cards, emergency cash—we didn’t lose a day of shooting.
Keep some U.S. dollars (or other major currency) as backup. In emergency situations or natural disasters, ATMs might not work, but cash still does.
5. The Communication Plan
Someone at home should have your itinerary. Not because you’re going to get kidnapped. Because if you don’t check in and something actually does happen, somebody should know where to start looking.
I use a shared Google Doc with:
- Flight details (including airline confirmation numbers)
- Hotel addresses and phone numbers
- Local contact numbers
- Daily schedule (even if approximate)
- Expected check-in times
- Copy of passport and insurance info
- Embassy contact information
Set up regular check-ins. Doesn’t have to be daily, but your emergency contact should know when to worry if they haven’t heard from you.
Implementing the Solution: Day-to-Day Safety That Doesn’t Suck
Theory is useless if you don’t actually do it. Here’s what works in practice:
Pack Like a Paranoid Producer
When I pack for a shoot, I assume half my gear will try to get lost or stolen. Valuable items (laptop, camera, hard drives) stay in my carry-on. Always. I’ve heard too many horror stories about checked bags going to the wrong continent.
Luggage tags: Put your email, not your home address. You don’t want strangers knowing your house is empty.
First aid kit essentials:
- Band-aids and gauze
- Pain reliever and anti-inflammatory
- Anti-diarrheal medication (seriously, don’t skip this)
- Antihistamine for allergic reactions
- Prescription medications (in original bottles with labels)
- Motion sickness tablets
- Antibacterial ointment
- Tweezers and small scissors
- Digital thermometer
- Any personal medical needs
What NOT to Bring When Traveling Internationally
This question comes up constantly, and for good reason. Bringing the wrong thing can get you detained, fined, or worse.
Never pack:
- Anything illegal in your destination (including prescription drugs that are controlled substances there—yes, even your Adderall might be illegal)
- Excessive amounts of cash over $10,000 without declaring it
- Original copies of irreplaceable items (photos, documents, heirlooms)
- Expensive jewelry you’d be devastated to lose
- More electronics than you actually need
- Aerosol cans in checked luggage
- Lithium batteries in checked bags
- Items that could be mistaken for weapons
I once watched a photographer bring original negatives from a 20-year project on a trip “for inspiration.” They got stolen. Don’t be that person.
Research your destination’s customs rules. Some countries have strict regulations on medications, food items, drones, and even certain books or religious materials.
Secure Your Tech (Because Your Life Is On It)
Every device I travel with has:
- Strong password (not your birthday, not “password123”)
- Encryption enabled
- Remote tracking activated (Find My iPhone, Find My Device)
- Auto-lock set to 1-2 minutes
- VPN installed for public wifi
- Updated software (security patches matter)
Public wifi is where I draw a hard line. I don’t check bank accounts, don’t access sensitive emails, don’t enter passwords on unsecured networks. Hackers can create fake wifi hotspots that look legitimate to steal your data. Use your phone’s hotspot or get a VPN. PureVPN and NordVPN work in most countries.
On “Closing Walls,” our entire shot list and call sheets were cloud-based. When someone’s laptop died, we lost zero data. Cloud backup isn’t optional anymore. Use services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud to automatically back up photos and important files.
Stay Aware Without Being Paranoid
Film sets teach you situational awareness. Where are the exits? Who’s acting weird? What’s the backup plan if this goes wrong?
Apply that to travel:
- In crowded areas (markets, metro stations, tourist spots), keep your bag in front of you and zipped
- Walk like you know where you’re going, even if you don’t (lost tourists are targets)
- Don’t stare at your phone on the street—step into a shop if you need to check maps
- Trust your gut; if something feels off, it probably is
- Make eye contact with people around you (shows confidence)
- Avoid distractions like headphones in unfamiliar areas
The best safety advice I ever got was from a DP who’d worked in some sketchy locations: “Don’t look like a victim.” Confident body language, awareness of your surroundings, and not flashing expensive gear unnecessarily prevent most problems before they start.
Common Travel Scams (And How to Avoid Them)
Travel fraud increased 28% in winter 2024, with scams targeting tourists becoming increasingly sophisticated. After working in dozens of countries, I’ve either experienced or witnessed most of these firsthand.
The Broken Taxi Meter In cities like Bangkok and Jakarta, taxi and car rental scams comprise up to 66% of reported travel fraud cases. The meter’s “broken,” or it runs suspiciously fast, or the driver takes an unnecessarily long route.
How I avoid it: Use ride-sharing apps (Uber, Bolt, Grab) whenever possible. If using a regular taxi, agree on the price before getting in, or insist the meter be turned on. Follow the route on Google Maps.
The “Closed Attraction” Redirect Someone official-looking tells you the museum/temple/landmark is closed for renovation and offers to take you somewhere else—usually an overpriced shop where they get commission.
How I avoid it: Check the attraction’s official website or call ahead. If someone approaches me with this story, I politely decline and verify independently.
Fake Police Officers Scammers dressed as police demand to see your passport or wallet, claiming to check for counterfeit bills, then either steal money or demand a “fine.”
How I avoid it: Ask to see official ID. Insist on going to the police station to handle any issues. Never hand over your wallet or passport on the street. Real police rarely stop tourists without good reason.
The Helpful Stranger Someone befriends you, shows you around, then demands payment or takes you to shops where you’re pressured to buy.
How I avoid it: If it feels transactional, it probably is. Politely decline unsolicited help. Real kindness doesn’t come with a bill.
ATM Skimming Card skimming devices copy your information when you use compromised ATMs.
How I avoid it: Use ATMs inside banks during business hours. Check for loose card readers or unusual cameras. Cover the keypad when entering my PIN. Set up transaction alerts on my phone.
Fake Booking Sites Fraudulent accommodation bookings are particularly common in tourist hotspots like Phuket and Antalya, with fake listings on rental platforms.
How I avoid it: Book through official sites with verified reviews. If a deal seems too good to be true, it is. Check multiple sources and read recent reviews carefully.
The Petition Scam Someone (often claiming to be deaf or a student) asks you to sign a petition, then demands a donation. While you’re distracted, an accomplice might pickpocket you.
How I avoid it: Don’t engage. Just say “no thank you” and keep walking.
Transportation Safety: The Biggest Risk Nobody Talks About
More than 200 U.S. citizens die annually in traffic accidents abroad—far more than from any other cause. This is the real danger, not the dramatic stuff you see in movies.
Rental Cars Before shooting “In The End,” we rented a van in a country where they drive on the opposite side of the road from what we’re used to. First hour was terrifying. Know what you’re getting into.
Safety checklist for rental cars:
- Verify insurance coverage (your credit card might cover it, but check)
- Document existing damage before leaving the lot
- Familiarize yourself with local traffic rules
- Test the brakes, lights, and signals
- Keep the rental agreement in the car
- Don’t leave valuables visible
- Know emergency numbers
Scooters and Motorcycles They’re fun and cheap, but they’re also how a lot of travelers get seriously injured. If you’re not experienced, don’t learn in a foreign country with different traffic patterns.
Public Transportation Generally safe in most places, but:
- Keep your bag secured and in front of you
- Be aware during crowded boarding/exiting
- The “bump and grab” scam happens frequently at busy transit stations
- Sit near the driver or in populated cars at night
- Research which routes/times to avoid
Pedestrian Safety Watch for motorcycles, look the correct direction when crossing, don’t assume drivers will stop, and be extra careful at night. More boring than a kidnapping plot, but way more likely to actually hurt you.
Accommodation Safety
Research where you’re staying. Not just reviews of the service, but the neighborhood. Is it safe to walk at night? Are there secure entry systems?
When I check into any hotel:
- Test that doors and windows lock properly
- Locate emergency exits (actually look, don’t just assume)
- Use the safe for passport/valuables
- Put a doorstop under the door at night (adds an extra layer of security)
- Check the room for damage and report it immediately
- Keep the hotel’s business card (has address in local language)
- Note the nearest hospital or medical facility
For shared accommodations (hostels, Airbnbs with roommates), use locks on your bags. TSA-approved locks work for luggage; small combination locks work for hostel lockers.
Many solo travelers book rooms indicating two guests to create the illusion they’re not alone, which can deter potential problems. It’s a small psychological trick that might make a difference.
Solo Travel Safety: Specific Considerations
I’ve done plenty of solo location scouting and shooting. It changes the risk calculation.
For Solo Female Travelers: Safety concerns remain the primary worry for solo female travelers, with 69% citing it as a major barrier to traveling alone. These concerns are valid, but they don’t mean you shouldn’t travel.
Strategies that work:
- Research local customs around dress codes and social interactions, as friendly gestures can sometimes be misinterpreted in certain cultures
- Don’t advertise that you’re alone to strangers
- Practice getting loud and attracting attention before you go, so you can do it if needed
- Connect with other solo female travelers, as women often look after each other
- Trust your instincts over being polite
- Arrive in daylight when possible
- Use app-based transportation that provides ride records
- Keep emergency numbers accessible
- Consider bringing a doorstop or personal alarm
For All Solo Travelers:
- Join group tours or activities to meet people
- Stay in social accommodations (hostels with common areas)
- Let someone know your daily plans
- Don’t drink to the point where you can’t make good decisions
- Keep your phone charged and accessible
- Know where your embassy is located
Food and Water Safety
This has derailed more shoots than equipment failure. On “Chicken Surprise,” half our crew got food poisoning from street food in Mexico City. We lost two days of production.
Rules that have kept me healthy:
- Bottled water with unbroken seal (ice cubes in drinks are risky)
- Cooked food that’s still hot
- Busy food vendors (high turnover = fresher food)
- Avoid raw vegetables washed in local water
- Peel fruit yourself
- Hand sanitizer before eating
- Buy water immediately upon landing, even in destinations with potable tap water, in case of emergencies
If you have food allergies, carry a card in the local language explaining what you can’t eat. Download a translation app. Anaphylaxis in a foreign hospital is nobody’s idea of a good time.
For areas with questionable water quality, consider bringing a LifeStraw or water purification tablets as backup.
Natural Disaster Preparedness: The Risk We Ignore
Due to the increase in natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires, there can be little to no warning. I live on the West Coast where earthquakes are always a possibility, and I’ve shot in hurricane-prone areas during storm season.
Before You Go:
- Research seasonal disaster risks (hurricane season, monsoon season, earthquake zones, wildfire areas)
- Check weather reports for your destination and know warning signs of common natural disasters
- Verify your travel insurance covers natural disasters
- Know evacuation routes from your accommodation
- Download offline maps
- Register with your embassy
What to Pack for Disaster Scenarios: A well-equipped “go bag” with essential items ensures safety during sudden evacuations
- Copies of important documents in waterproof bag
- Emergency cash
- Portable phone charger
- Flashlight with extra batteries
- First aid supplies
- Whistle for signaling
- Multi-tool
- Emergency food (protein bars, energy gels)
- Water purification method
During a Disaster:
- Stay calm, monitor the situation via radio/TV/mobile device, and stay in close contact with hotel staff and tour operators
- Follow evacuation orders immediately
- Follow instructions from local emergency and public health authorities
- Enable location-sharing with loved ones back home
- Don’t take pictures in dangerous situations (I know it’s tempting)
- Be prepared that you may not be able to bring all luggage when evacuating
After a Disaster: Deaths after natural disasters are most often due to blunt trauma, crush-related injuries, or drowning during cleanup. Avoid downed power lines, contaminated water, and unstable structures. Crime can increase temporarily when law enforcement is occupied with disaster response.
Health and Medical Safety
Beyond food safety, there are other health considerations:
Vaccinations: Check CDC or WHO recommendations for your destination at least 6-8 weeks before departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses. Common travel vaccines include:
- Hepatitis A and B
- Typhoid
- Yellow fever (required for some countries)
- Japanese encephalitis
- Rabies (for certain activities/locations)
- Routine vaccines (measles, flu, tetanus)
Medications:
- Bring prescriptions in original labeled bottles
- Pack extra medication, especially if your life depends on it
- Research if your medications are legal in your destination
- Carry a letter from your doctor explaining prescriptions
- Know generic names (brand names vary by country)
Finding Healthcare Abroad:
- Research before you go, not when you’re sick
- Visit clinics recommended by embassies or reputable apps, not tourist-trap medical centers demanding high fees
- Your travel insurance should have 24/7 assistance to help locate care
- Keep your insurance card and policy information accessible
Altitude Sickness: If traveling to high elevations (above 8,000 feet), give yourself time to acclimatize. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness. Drink water, avoid alcohol, and ascend gradually.
Sun Protection: Sounds basic, but sunburn and heatstroke ruin trips. Use sunscreen, wear a hat, stay hydrated, and take breaks from direct sun during peak hours.
Cultural Sensitivity and Local Laws
Getting arrested abroad because you didn’t know something was illegal is a special kind of nightmare.
Research Local Laws:
- Photography restrictions (government buildings, military, people)
- Alcohol rules (banned entirely, banned in public, specific times)
- Drug laws (often much harsher than home)
- Dress codes (especially in conservative or religious areas)
- Relationship laws (some countries criminalize certain relationships)
- Import/export restrictions
- Blasphemy or speech laws
Cultural Norms:
- Appropriate dress (covering knees, shoulders, head)
- Greetings and gestures (some are offensive in certain cultures)
- Eating customs (left hand use, removing shoes)
- Religious site etiquette
- Tipping expectations
- Personal space and physical contact norms
When shooting “Watching Something Private,” we had to be extremely careful about what we filmed and where. What’s normal in one country can get you deported in another.
Communication and Connectivity
International Phone Plans:
- Contact your carrier about international plans before departure
- Consider buying a local SIM card (unlocked phone required)
- Use eSIMs for data (Airalo, Holafly work in many countries)
- Download offline maps (Google Maps, Maps.me)
- Save important addresses/info offline
Safety Apps to Download:
- Your country’s travel advisory app
- Emergency SOS features (built into iPhone/Android)
- Translation apps (Google Translate with offline languages)
- Personal safety alarms (One Scream, Panic Button)
- VPN for secure connections
- Location sharing (Find My Friends, Life360)
Social Media Safety: Don’t post photos showing:
- Your exact location in real-time (wait until after you leave)
- That your home is empty
- Expensive items
- Hotel room numbers
- Solo travel vulnerability
The 10 Basic Safety Rules (That Actually Matter)
People ask for a simple list. Here’s mine, built from actual experience:
- Guard your documents like they’re your job (because replacing them abroad becomes your job)
- Never keep all your money in one place
- Lock everything (bags, doors, devices)
- Stay sober enough to make good decisions
- Share your plans with someone at home
- Research your destination before you go (laws, customs, scams to avoid)
- Keep emergency contacts accessible
- Use licensed, reputable transportation (cheap ride-shares can be sketchy)
- Stay aware in crowds
- Trust your instincts over being polite
That last one matters. If someone’s making you uncomfortable, you don’t owe them anything. Leave.
When Things Go Wrong
Despite all this, sometimes things still go sideways. When they do:
Report theft within 24 hours. Police reports are essential for insurance claims. Get a copy of the report, even if the cops seem uninterested. Document everything with photos.
Contact your embassy immediately if you lose your passport. They can issue emergency travel documents, usually within a day or two. This is why you registered your trip with them, right?
Freeze compromised cards the second you notice. Most banks have 24/7 hotlines. Request replacement cards sent to your destination if you’ll be there long enough.
Document everything for insurance. Photos of damage, screenshots of conversations, receipts for emergency purchases, police reports, medical records. Your insurance company will want proof.
On “In The End,” we had a major equipment failure in a remote location. Having documentation of everything—rental agreements, insurance policies, emergency contacts—meant we could solve the problem instead of panicking about it.
Post-Trip Safety (The Part Everyone Forgets)
Health Issues After Returning: Some illnesses have incubation periods. If you get sick within weeks of returning, tell your doctor where you traveled. Diseases like malaria might not show symptoms immediately.
Monitor for Identity Theft: If you used ATMs or made purchases abroad, watch your accounts for unusual activity. Consider credit monitoring services if you traveled to high-risk areas.
Follow Up on Insurance Claims: Don’t wait. File claims promptly while you still have receipts and documentation. Take notes while details are fresh.
Share What You Learned: Write reviews of accommodations, tour operators, and transportation services. Your experience helps other travelers avoid problems (or find great options).
Common Travel Safety Questions Answered
What are some safety tips we should follow while traveling?
The essentials: research your destination thoroughly, get proper travel insurance, make copies of important documents, stay aware of your surroundings, secure your valuables, use reputable transportation, be mindful of food and water safety, and always trust your instincts. But here’s the thing—knowing the rules doesn’t help if you don’t actually follow them. Start with the ten basics above and build from there.
What not to bring when traveling internationally?
Skip anything illegal at your destination (even if it’s legal at home), excessive jewelry or flashy accessories that scream “rob me,” original irreplaceable documents (bring copies instead), your entire wardrobe (you won’t wear half of it), prescription medications in unlabeled bottles, items that could be mistaken for weapons, and more cash than you need. I learned this the hard way when customs questioned me about unmarked pills in my bag—turned out to be vitamins, but explaining that without labels was a nightmare.
Research your specific destination’s customs regulations, as rules vary significantly from country to country.
Wrap-Up
Travel safety isn’t about eliminating risk. You can’t. Even filming in my hometown, stuff goes wrong. The goal is making smart decisions so when something does go sideways, it’s an annoying story instead of a trip-ending catastrophe.
That Prague café incident? I still think about it. But instead of losing everything, I learned to be more careful. And now my camera bag has a strap that clips to my chair. Small change, big difference.
The best adventures come from being prepared enough to handle problems without stressing about them. Do the boring work beforehand so you can focus on the actual experience when you get there.
And if nothing else, remember this: The worst travel disaster makes the best story later—as long as you survive it to tell it. After all, half my best travel stories involve something going wrong. But because I’d planned for problems, those wrong turns became adventures instead of emergencies.
Now get out there and shoot something amazing. Just clip your camera bag to something first.
