Some years back I tried merino wool t-shirts for everyday wear. They were great for comfort and stink resistance, but always fell apart too quickly. Developed holes so holding it up in front of a lamp was like having my own little planetarium. Didn't matter hand wash, machine wash, hang up and don't use at all... Also the brand didn't matter. Holes! My guess is some combination of moths, backpack or seat belt friction, and wet wringing. Whatever the cause, even the cheapest cotton or polyester tees outlasted them many times over. I still have several long sleeve merino shirts from Costco. They developed holes too! Some had never even been worn yet, with no obvious bugs in the closet. But they were about $10 each on sale and still work fine for cool weather hiking in Colorado. So I machine washed them all (in case of invisible moth eggs) and started keeping them rolled up in a sealed dry bag. At some point one brand (I think it was Ibex?) made shirts from threads of merino wrapped in a nylon helix in a 7:1 ratio. Got one on clearance from Sierra Trading Post and then never saw any more. Still not sure how sturdy it was, because I gained weight and lost track of it in my wrong-size clothes. But I like the idea of nylon reinforced wool. Wool socks and pullovers/sweaters seem to last longer than tees. Possibly because the wool is usually blended with materials that are stronger and more forgiving. Definitely a correlation between fabric thickness and longevity though.

I think platypus style water bags are way more practical than bottles. When they are empty they almost literally use 0 space, but you can fill them with 1-2-3 liters of water (depending on the size), and always just take up as much space as their water content.

Hero clip would have also been my number one trip. I bought one as well for my one-month trip to Asia, and never ever used it or even thought about using it.

You are right. I have 2 hero clips, bring them everywhere, never use them. You're right about everything else, too!

You’re supposed to wear the neck pillow the other way around. Your chin rests on the pillow when you sleep sitting upright.

For a backpack recommendation I suggest the ULA dragonfly 30l or 36l

Recent sub and working through your back videos - I love your sense of humour and the fact that you didn't edit out the spills - many others would have ❤

I mostly agree about the water bottles but I have a collapsible bottle that will go flat when out of water. If I know I will have consistent access to drinkable water, or won't be exerting too much, I may not bring it, but it has come in handy a couple of times. And it does have a basic filter integrated. I found myself 1/2 inflating a neck pillow and then moving it around so the gap was between neck and seatback. A minor improvement. I tried the Turtl and it caused my neck to get a "crick" in it and it will usually take several minutes to loosen it up. I have tried it in several positions. No good in any. I like the inflatable camp pillow approach. I may try that for my next Interntional flight.

2:27 - that is such a positive attitude ❤ Life is for living 🙂

good video. i love your apartment

roll up a jumper, instead of neck pillow

That’s strange, Revolute changed so much since then

Thanks for going into how to use it. I bought one and never noticed the fill line or the arrow on the cap. Really good review!

Also helpful for those who live off grid or in tiny homes/apartments without washing machines. The sink stopper and bag method is genius!

Unlike you, I LOVE my travel neck pillow. I actually bought 2. One I use when I sleep/nap in my bedroom recliner. The other I use when I sleep in hotels - I sleep sitting up because of respiratory conditions. I also use it for napping on the couch at home. Fun video - tfs.

I am loving your content. Multifunctional clothing is useful. Have underwear that can pass as exercise wear AND as swimwear. Loose pants or shorts that can be used as pyjamas or clothing. A piece of fabric that can pass as a sarong, emergency towel, shawl or travel blanket- this could also be a bit of colour on a ‘safe’ colour palette. One loose cotton shirt can dress up plain layers, be sun protection or work like a light jacket..Compression cubes great idea for less used items, eg swimwear or jacket. Dirt company in Australia also sells a travel size fabric spray designed to break down of odors and minimize washing. Tani also makes thin, incredibly comfortable layers which are great for those who tend to overheat. Perfect comfort for air travel. The washing tips in your other video were perfect!

Thank you very much it was bery helpful I also decided not use liggages anymore, old times i used to travel with lots of stuff plus doing favor to my relatives and friends, i used to take their packages too😅. But lately I am refusing to take someone stuff, of course some became upset . But I am sorry😅 I wanna enjoy my trip especially my time at airport and plane i want it to be less stressful

There are so many different opinions about filtering (hotel) tap water. But I am like you, I am extremely sensitive towards chlorine etc. I was able to buy a reduced Ultra Grayl because I am often traveling from Germany to the US and I really have a problem with the American tap water. Plus I dislike to use the versions with a straw, after a while it starts to smell... So I think the Grayl will do a good job!

Where can I meet a woman like you ? All the women that I know would pack a roll-a-long suitcase for n overnight stay with at least three changes of clothes and two pairs of shoes 👜👜

this is really helpful. i wanted to know if you ever give gifts when you travel. or gifts to the flight attendants etc. and do you worry about cleaning the airline seat/tray etc each time you travel? also - what about hobbies? i'd love to travel with my ukulele which would give me lots of joy when i travel but it is a 3rd items then. i am looking for a small/compact instrument... which i havent found yet...

wow this is a great list. many of the things you mention seem to be about being aware and considerate and kind wherever we go... and that's a good lesson for anywhere. btw what work do you do? it's great to have a job that one can do on the road. i cannot do that. maybe i need to find a job that allows me to work from anywhere. thank you for sharing your ideas. i need to work on NOT carrying all those "just in case" items...

Used a cheap dry bag for over a year , friend gave me a scrubba bag to try . Wow oh wow huge difference, those little nipple things do work

This is amazing! Thank you!! Does this apply to Ryanair and other budget airlines?

Underwear: Viscose derived from Bamboo is what my underwear says. Its light, breathable and dried super fast. Anxiety: Rescue remedy products.

Just working my way through your videos after recently finding you. Glad to hear the your husband is now in the clear and especially like his advise - do it today as you never know what tomorrow will bring. Safe travels ✈✈

This is as helpful, thanks 🤝

hi there. i had written a whole response to your Qs but i dont see them here anymore. i think they are lost to the internet. if i r'mber what i said i will re-type. sorry. but look slike you got a lot of responses so maybe you are all set now... good luck

I wont have a home will be able to leave a bag with dome items but will hsve most things in a 30l backpack just 1 bag for 4 seasons. A challenge..😂❤

Thanks a lot for the very useful info and tips!😊

omg this is unreal. i am glad you are fine. thank you for being so open and clear about what you went thru. how you handled everything. wow. this is just so crazy. you were brave and smart... and i can only hope that if i am faced with such a situation, that i will be able to handle it as well as you have. take care. and wishing you all the best...

Thank you so much ! Would you have a link for the small Sea to Summit pouch (bikini)? I can't find it. Merci et bonne journée !

your German accent is very not hörbar

I LOVE the empty lip balm for hiding cash!!

THANK YOU VERY HELPFUL

I am older than you and don’t have the back strength to carry a heavy backpack. We’re headed to Norway in a few weeks and I’m taking a lightweight roller bag that meets European standards for size and weight limit of 8 kg. And then a very small backpack as a personal item. My tech needs are simple (phone and small iPad with ebooks loaded on), and I’m taking layerable clothes in merino wool, alpaca and silk including one dark gray dress and one pair of black wool pants, so they go with everything. I take minimal toiletries (with as few liquids as possible). My one “comfort” item is a tiny white noisemaker that charges with the same usb-c cable my phone and iPad use. I’ve done carry-on only for tropical vacations, but not to somewhere cold. I’m excited about the challenge of not over-packing!

for a bag : i have a tortuga that is very user friendly and comfortable with or without the hip belt, but a bit heavyweight. they make a light now which may be worth looking into. it might also be worth checking the ultralight thruhiking youtube crowd for recs - pa’lante, gossamer gear, waymark.

Thank you for all of your videos; they are always inspiring! I too am very curious about your review of the bag. Several of your videos have completely changed the way I pack, my favourite of which is the one which charts your journey from 70 to 30 litres and where you explore exactly what type of bag works for you. This made me completely rethink the size and shape of bag I want to carry versus what I actually take with me. 18 months ago I hostel / hotel hopped around the Alps and went crazy with how difficult my Osprey Fairview 40 was to pack / unpack for 1 night stays. Even the fact that I had to unpack it to reach anything beneath the heavy top flap got very frustrating! So I changed tactic remembering what you said about access to a bag when on the floor or in a small space...and now I've just finished what felt like a marathon six months of researching for, then trying out several different bags to solve the 'problem' I had. Think I've got there in the end! Also, it may be helpful or it may be too much information but do you know about OneBagTravels and his bag chart? It's amazingly detailed; he links to it in the comments at the top of the page for this video ua-cam.com/video/izvvVanske8/v-deo.html&lc=UgxSTugEEHKqO-DbzRd4AaABAg.9k4LQhaalQd9zqeO80LIuo

I never travel without a spare pair of eyeglasses (I keep my previous prescription glasses just in case). I can't see very well without them, and replacing them would be a pain in a foreign country. The alternative would be to accustom myself to contact lenses leading up to the trip and packing some along, but that seems like a lot of hassle for not very much space savings.

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

Great to hear that the hero clip is not worth the money! I have one in my Amazon cart but I will delete it now 😊.

Great tips and hope your husband has recovered well..

For exercise try doing one Surya namaskar a day.

Was in a scam in Mexico city..my ankle was soo bad a pothole type thing was dug and ambulancemen and girls trying to get me to go to a private hospital.. i limped at next city but after chemist extra strong painkillimg drug pain vanished.. saved myself 1000s. When got severe chest infection affecting lungs in Turkey as asthmstic and was sufferimg after serious covid hospital doctor gave me what i asked no charge as had 1 year resident card...

A terrible situation..

Many airlines only accept 1 bag of 7 to 8 kg packed with no separate personal item... makes it even more challenging.....❤

Must go for just 30l backpack now.. mine looks much smaller than yours.. cabinmax ...1.20 lb only. Nothing more so this time wont be cgecked in or lost by bus company! I ll have to take many inhalers longterm as just too costly to buy...plus a camera...love the 33 item rule...need a thick jumper though...

Love your videos you deserve a lot more views. So informative and practical...❤

Anyone help. I have white roots nowadays want to dye my roots aling the way but never find any effective dye as hair should be golden brown..dont wabt to waste money on expensive hairdressers who get it wrong either..what can I do on longterm travels?
