The Vagabonding Packing List ///
17 Comments
Finally! Been waiting for this!
I want everything.
It arrives! Excellent category names. Now to convert this into a shopping list…
I see your alternating from the Fast Pack Edc to the Litespeed, other than the size difference, what do you prefer?
Had to look up that Elvish honey, holy crap, have you tasted it or are you going to sell it in a few years for a million bucks?
Holy shit, only 34 liters??? My backpack is 60 liters and packed to explode. But you’ve given me some insight on reducing this.
Enormously grateful that you took the time to put this together. Quite a few of the links aren’t working, however, so you might want to double check them 🙂
How does the Macbook Air 11″ go?
Ever find the screen to be to small?
And awesome gear my friend!
It’s perfect for travel, a smaller screen is a small sacrifice for the sake of carryability.
John – what an awesome and impressive list! From the comments, I can see I’m not the only reader who was eagerly anticipatIng getting to check out your packing list as a whole!
One question – in the photo for “The Tech” — what is the item pictured on the very bottom row, under the Vivosmart Watch, and to the left of the Flea Flashlight?
Thanks for the Packing List… And for the continual inspiration you provide!
Cool!
But where are the gloves?
Impressive list! Can you share with us which are the essential stuffs that you will keep on you at all times, compared to those in your bag.
By the way, what earphone are you carrying in your earphone case?
Any thoughts on ‘sappers’ – those figure 8 shaped leadfilled leather pouches?
