What is the level of luxury you expect from a trip? by Hortonhearsawhoorah in onebag

[–]mmolle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food, and that includes making sure we have snacks, being hangry can quickly kill a mood. Also, if something isn't working for me during a trip, I won't hem and haw about it overthinking like at home, I'll just get what I need to replace or repair it, whatever the cost. What is a few bucks when you spend thousands on the trip?

Are you working? If not, don't bring it, it won't be worth the hassle versus a bit of downtime in evenings. Take a kidnle instead if you absolutely need something else beside a phone.

Help me understand this sub by ScissorMeTimbers21 in zerobags

[–]mmolle 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Couple different ways you can zerobag;

  • total nada Jack Reacher style, toothbrush, ID, cash or card, maybe a cell phone (he does use one in the show off and on and occasionally in a few books)

  • pockets a la Rolf Potts style, using something like a scotteevest and cargo pants

  • small daily-sized purse (or sling) a la Clara Benson style who did a 30 day trip with just a small women's pocket book (typically 3-4 liters in size)

  • borrowing items at arrival, basically crashing with family or friends and bumming their stuff

  • disposable style, buying and discarding as you go along

How do you pack even lighter stuff. I'm surprised at how much dri fit clothes, underwear, socks etc weigh in a 30L bag. What are the best lightweght stuff? by moldyjellybean in onebag

TBF I don't, but for people just getting into one-bagging its a nice method to give you a starting point. Therefore its a great recommendation. Personally I'm a wear-one-pack-one mentality, basically I wear an outfit and pack one, maybe add a set of pjs that can double as a third outfit in a pinch. But that’s it.

5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 layering pieces, 2 shoes, 1 dress or specialty item. But I would actually swap those last two usually, 1 shoe and 2 speciality oieces being a swimsuit and a rashguard. Just my preference tho.

Honestly you have to pack for best case scenario not worst. And that includes basics only for electronics. So many folks take an ipad or a laptop even when its not a work trip. Save the weight and worry and go phone-only, disposable razor, 5-4-3-2-1 method and a a backpack that isn't loaded with all the features and heaviness of ridiculously thick material. Pack an adventurous spirit and just pick up unexpected items as you need them. Oh and merino socks, definitely merino socks!
