Travel Kit

So 13.8kg was the weight of my bag at checkin. So what does 13.8kg get you for 3.5 months?

Well in my case:
– 8 pairs boxers
– 6 pairs socks
– 2 shorts
– 3 trousers
– 2 jumpers
– 5 t-shirts
– 2 shirts
– sandals
– boots
– trail shoes
– wash kit
– proper towel not a travel one, 3.5 months don’t forget
– leatherman
– gloves and hat
– sleeping bag and liner
– smiles and chilledness

So why I ask do people turn up with 2 suitcases and 40kg of luggage for a 2 week trip? Even Uganda in 2009 with special kit I only clocked 18Kg.

Oh well I guess my handluggage makes up for it with 6.5Kg but then I have a camera, 4 lens and power charger, laptop, San Fran book and all my important documents not forgetting my juggling balls!

Advise if you travel with a day pack and want to carry it on the front of you then get some quickdraws [climbing kit] as 2 of these make it so easy to have you bag on the front of you and to detach it quickly as well.

Well time for sleep I’m currenly somewhere over Europe writing this, but will post in Singapore. Dubai!
