Backpacking
is not a luxurious trip that requires suitcases! Travel light! Most weight of
our luggage comes from clothing. Choose dark and neutral colors while packing
so you can mix-and-match your outfits. It will also help to dress in layers in
case it is very cold. Carry clothes that are soft and easily rolled up to save
space. Limited space, limited clothes!
Cut
the toiletries
Limit
yourself to the basic human needs. A bar of soap, a small bottle of shampoo,
toothpaste and a brush is probably the bare minimum for backpackers. The more
the toiletries, the more the weight. Since backpackers are so active, luggage
weight is always an issue.
Lose
the guidebook
Technology
has overtaken all forms of books. Use it wisely! Some great backpacker devices
that can be useful while travelling such as Go Pro, Kindle, Canon 5D Mark III
and MacBook Pro. It will save space, time as well as help to multitask while on
the road.
