5 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Loadout

This is a series of posts about my select, ever-changing and adapting packing lists and loadouts for specific tasks, events and journeys.

“One does not need a home full of things to live. Just like ancient times, all we need is what we can carry on our backs. I’ve been living and traveling the world this way and have never been more comfortable or complete.”     -John Cain

My current “residence” is in Vietnam so I have the luxury of being able to pack my loadout in just a 15 liter backpack for a relatively close (3 hours) trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This was carry-on only.

These photos were taken at my Airbnb loft, while the rest of my gear is at my apartment in Hanoi.
