The Junk In My Trunk

My Long-Term Packing List - The Gear
Packin'

One of the most popular questions people ask me in regards to long-term travel is how I pack for such a trip. I’ve seen many other travel bloggers list all their stuff right down to the dental floss and I thought that was kinda fun. So, before I packed up on Tuesday night I laid out all my stuff and took some photos for your viewing pleasure.

When I traveled to Argentina and Colombia I checked 2 bags along with a small laptop backpack. On this trip I cut my stuff to 1 bag (49.5 lbs) and the laptop backpack. I gotta tell you, it feels great, I feel so light and free.

Here’s my stuff…

  1. I haven’t used it yet but I’m pretty excited about whipping it out at the right time. I’m more worried about those things that swim up your pee hole if I go into the amazon. Gross!

  2. Nice post. I like your organizing your travel bag. I and my son are planning to travel. So, I think this info helps us. By the way, nice shoe collection. Thanks for your share.
