    to everyone complaining about how these products are very expensive and such - a very important aspect of minimalism that i have learned is that sometimes it is best to buy a quality item that will last a long time as opposed to a cheaper item that you may have to replace many times!!

      Buy nice, not twice! Something I always live by. I did a ski season in Europe and invested in a pair of 120£ Hestra gloves. They lasted me the whole season and are still going strong. The people who bought cheap gloves 30-40£ bought multiple pairs throughout the season and probably ended up spending more overall.

    Instead of an eye mask, pack a bandanna. I've used mine as an eye mask on the plane, a smog mask in Beijing, a neckerchief in the sun, and of course as an actual bandanna. Plus it rolls up into the size of a travel shampoo and weighs next to nothing.
    I also pack a length of 3mm shock cord. I've used it for clothesline, emergency belt.

      Carrying 5 or so of the semi-nice but cheap ponytail rubber bands can be used for a gazillion things on their own and combined with things like the 550 cord. I've used them to adjust tent sizes, hang things, control cables and clothes and yadayada.

    On the comment where you said " you can't afford to be hungover and miss a day " that happened to me during my trip to London. I had planned to go to the London Bridge but was entirely too hungover to go the next day. That same day the terrorist attack happened on the bridge. I went straight from being bummed about missing a day, to thankful I didn't go, and bummed about the attack. It was really strange honestly. Maybe it saved my life, who knows?

    Compartmentalizing is definitely my favorite thing when traveling. I have about 6 different fabric bags with a zipper. One for flight: USB plug, 3in1 cable for phones, eyemask, toothbrush and earplugs. The Second got camera stuff and third got chargers.
    Best thing I've learned. And also those vacuum bags which you can roll out the air is amazing saver for space.

    Fun Fact: if you take a B-Complex after a wild night of drinking, you'll wake up without a hang over the next morning BUT if you take it BEFORE you start drinking, you CANT get drunk. Good tip if you want to drink but also want to stay coherent. I have tested both of these theories myself with my sister and my mom and they really work so I also travel with some of those.

    Great info! For women, I'd like to suggest a dark, light-weight, elastic-waist maxi skirt; a long-sleeve lightweight dark sweater and a dark pashmina that doubles as a head scarf. They're ALWAYS in my day pack when I'm wearing shorts and a tank top and are handy when I want to tour a conservative church, temple or mosque. On the days I'm wearing sandals, I also throw a pair of thin black socks into my backpack.

    I know I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I've got an iphone case that's also a battery pack. It gives me another 1.5X the battery life. It make the phone a little thicker but it's better than carrying an extra battery pack or charging cord with you when your out and about. Instead, when your battery is low, you just power up with a button on the back and it starts to charge. It's saved me many times when I've been out for long days. BTW, thanks for all the great videos they've helped me a ton with my plans to Ireland.

    I'm traveling the Pacific Northwest right now and I've packed almost exactly like you would. Except more warm things - I like to be able to mix and match fleece, rain jacket, light cardigan and parka depending on whether it's rainy, ice stormy, snowstormy, or just plain chilly, all of which I've experienced in the past three weeks. The parka is always on during travel so it never takes up bag space. 👌

    Great video guys! I'm happy to see that I have almost the same essentials! My tip to never forget anything as an almost full time traveler is to have a basic packing list on my phone, this way I only have to add things that are specific to the destination I'm headed to, and it's much faster to pack!

I 'm trying to encourage women to carry less & still be comfortable look stylish in my packing vids, lol. Ciao

    You mention Google Maps but if you’re travelling in a country whose language you don’t speak fluently, Google Translate is a godsend. You can download language packs to use offline and call it up anytime for quick translations. I always like Duolingoing a language for a few weeks or months before departure too, but obviously that’s a lot more work and only gets you so far.

      Careful! You said "power converter" in the video. This isn't one. This is a power outlet adapter. Converts the pins to your liking, but NOT the voltage nor the frequency. For most electronic device, this will be enough as your iPhone charger (for example) accepts both 110 and 220 V. All you need is a power outlet adapter. BUT if your device (or its charger) supports only 110 V, do not plug it on 220, and vice versa.

    More so than specific brands, the most general thing about clothing is just that cotton kind of sucks while travelling. Polyester mixes and wool dry in a fraction of the time, which matters if you get caught in the rain, land in a puddle, or need to dry the clothes after washing them in a bathtub, as ya do.

    Also, if you can afford them and you don't need toooo many memory cards will save space and weight compared to external hard drives. I normally have a 4TB external on me but over time have been slowly adjust things over (and keep backups in a couple externals at friends' places and backups online... I don't have a set place at all, so). And love the mention of Ex-Officio undies!!

    ON POINT ;) don't mind the haters guys! I know the gear you're carrying and promoting is a little upscale for most of us budget backpackers buttt, the general packing pretty much mirrors my essential items packing list for long-term backpacking (aka. 1-2 years at a time). The longer you travel, the more you get better at culling and only keeping the quality, important stuff hey!
    RE: the solid cologne thing - I would kill for a perfume version of this! If anyone knows of a female solid perfume product available out there please let me know :) I miss perfume sooo bad but just can't justify carrying it with me when travelling (plus there's like a 99% chance of the bottle getting smashed in transit, ha). Cheers guys!

    Things i learned from my travels : carry a strong lock for the hostels, a bit of tiger balm for weird odors in planes/trains/hostels and relieving headaches, carry your toileteries in a clear ziplock bag so you can go through TSA without digging through your bag and having everyone hating you, carry more ziplock bags in case something spill/you need to separate laundry or a wet swim suit/bring back rocks or sand ! Also those moleskin tapes will save your feet when you do a lot of walking

    A minimalist/3-1-1 "hack" is to make toothpaste dots. Put down a pea-sized dab of toothpaste and let it dry. After that you can put them in a snack sized ziplock and it will not count as a liquid. When you're ready, wet your brush wet the dot, put it on your brush get down to business.
    If you like painting/sketching, take a few pieces of good paper, cut them in half, fold them again depending on the size you want, then either stitch or staple them together with a piece of Manila folder as a cover. The flat style of toothbrush travel container will hold six pencils, or grab a water brush and either a travel size watercolor palette or make one using tubed watercolor paint. Take a piece of that good paper, fold it like a greeting card then on the inside put dots of paint spaced out (just like the toothpaste) and let it dry. When It's completely dry put it inside the book you made and you're off.

    I have never seen so much product promotion in a so-called minimalist video. Separate camera when I've always got my phone? Earphones instead of earbuds? A fancy case just for the cords (and enough electronics with different cords that you might even want such a thing)... Three pairs of footwear??? I think these guys have a very different definition of "minimalism" than me...

I am mostly packed for first weekend in November obviously few last minute packing have to do but that's stuff being used till I go. I also packed couple snacks because I wanted clean snack for 5hr event on Saturday I don't want make mess but worried about food. I've got 2 outfits packed that's it only 1 pair shoes that will be on my feet.

      Good point on the "dark window", but if you are getting bored while travelling then you either aren't paying attention to your surroundings, which is defeating the point of travelling int he first place, or guess you've just travelled to the wrong place.

    Headphones and tablet to Netflix? A passport organiser and cable taco that are each twice as bulky as their contents? These things are the antithesis of MINIMALIST and ESSENTIALS, the words you emphasise so much. I get the laptop cause blogging is your job.
    Also your stuff is super expensive- any traveller with a lick of sense will tell you the things you're carrying need to be replaceable, because on the road they can and will get damaged, irreversibly stained or lost.
    Most of your other advice is good though. The pills, condoms, power converter and all I agree with. I especially endorse getting an e-book reader. Even the cheapest kindle model, in addition to being a handheld library with a month of battery, has a basic web browser. You can also look up words in the inbuilt dictionary and load it with maps.

But sometimes they stop me at the airport and once I was almost denied entry into Canada when taking a bus from Seattle. They said I was suspicious because I didn't have a lot of luggage. WTF! Why would I want to lug around so much shit. I really get annoyed when I get stopped. Anyone else experience this??

    What you called a "power converter" is only and adaptor so you can use different physical plug configurations. Power converters change the voltage from 110 to 220 or vice versa. You won't need a converter in too many places these days for your cameras, laptops, or phones.
