  • This is how to pack for an endless backpacking trip around the world. If you plan to travel indefinitely and don't have an end date to your travels, you might find it difficult to pack a backpack, or even find a backpack to use for this type of trip. But I have traveled this way many times and found the perfect travel backpack and the right things to pack and bring with you on your journey. Watch this video to find out what to pack, how to pack, how to pick out a backpack, and how to travel longer, happier, better.

    Consider getting an inflatable pillow as well and moisture wicking clothings if you'd travel in the tropics. Plus add some sunscreen, insect repellents, dry bags and arm sleeves, universal plug adapter and handy organizers if you don't want to carry daybag. Consider getting sleeping bag sleeves if you're a backpacker and stay at cheap motels in countries like Thailand and Vietnam. And never forget to bring fisrt aid kits, meds for headache, allergies, tummy aches, colds and cough. Bring rollable water packs, travel sleeping bags, travel utensils and extra TSA locks.
    Always use and bring waterproof boots or shoes too like the palladium pampa lite+, columbia or salomon. Always bring candies too like tic tacs for quick fresh breath.

    Great tips! I also usually include a small first aid kit (band aids, alcohol wipes, gauze), a small repair kit (zip ties, duct tape, twine/rope/straps), and a headlamp (so I don't waste phone battery on light). If you're sticking to cities, maybe you don't need some of this (or can buy enroute) but I like more remote locations so tend to be a bit more self-reliant. Great video though! I'm subscribing!

    My old travel buddy is a hand crank emergency AM/FM/SW radio with regular white lamp, red emergency lamp and siren. I can charge the phone battery with it if I have to.
    Someone already mentioned duct tape/small 1st aid kit. Very good ideas too.
    I also carry twine and a pocket knife, like the good sailor I was.
    One advantage of being a middle aged man is that I don't care so much what others think about me anymore. Track suits are good travel clothing. I wear crocs too.
    Finally, I carry my black leather gloves.

    Ah yes, the towel,
    “…it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you - daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”

    • @AlexanderTravelbum
      @AlexanderTravelbum  6 років тому +3

      I’ve taken about 40 flights in the last few years, and only 1/40 did they actually weigh my bag and make me check it. The tip is to scrunch and compress your backpack as much as you can to make it appear small like a regular size backpack. And the one that I use doesn’t look like a typical big backpackers backpack so it works well. They barely even look at it

      It also helps to choose a BLACK bag if you have a choice of colour, like you did. Black bags look smaller for some reason and they're less likely to get noticed as oversized.

      My carry on was 5 kilos overweight on my last flight, but i managed to put ALL the excess in my scottevest hoodie 😀. Also use a fanny pack. You can put heavy powerbanks etc. In there and it doesn't count, and they don't even notice it usually.

      I started my traveling solo around 20. A lot of people do it, and most are fine. It changes you for the better and it’s a lot safer than it seems from overseas

      Humanity was a mistake yes of course! The Mecca of young first-time backpackers is Southeast Asia. It’s cheap, it’s safe, and it is a lot of fun. So that’s Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia... the best place to start is Bangkok, Thailand. It’s the easiest, safest, most tourists, and usually the cheapest city and country to fly into. From there, he can easily get to all other countries

      @AlexanderTravelbum  5 років тому

      Thank man! Appreciate it. I get my boots at thrift stores so they’re probably from the 70s or something ha, not sure the brands. That or Doc Martens. I actually have a camera wrist strap, so my camera is in my hand, but it’s held there by this cool strap of leather. That way I always have it ready. It’s in my amazon shop with everything else if you’re interested, linked below the video
