I just finished a trip using more or less the same stuff, although I did bring more shirts - 6 or 7. It served me really well and didn't weigh me down. One thing you might want to point out is that you're basically packing for the best situation instead of the worst. You may occasionally need to pick up something along the way. It was much colder than expected on my trip, for instance, so I picked up a cheap pair of jeans (I just had one pair of short and one pair of jeans to start). Still better than lugging them around for the whole trip. Great list. I just finished a trip using more or less the same stuff, although I did bring more shirts – 6 or 7.

My chief resistance so far has been the climate question, but I imagine a seasonal color code scheme might work out decently. Good suggestion, thanks for reading!

I like the packing list but could you provide a pure checklist form that people can print and reuse from trip to trip. I know I have one that has been honed over 30 yrs (of course things like lead shield film bags are obsolete these days). I just skip over items not germane to the current sojourn (climate, time of yr. etc being factors). I'm trying to help my son start his version of said list and just thought how nice it would be to start with an overpopulated list and check only the items of interest (option to fill in qty like 3 T-shirts). Then from the checked list print a subset. Best is to be able to save the checked list and refine it from trip to trip. Happy Wayfaring. Rich Nice talk at Ignite PHX.

I never used the harness once, you spend far more of your time walking into and out trains, planes and hostels than you do carrying all your posessions over a mountain range.
