I'm not saying that this is the perfect packing list but this is what I pack. Since I move from place to place and from season to season, I have to carry my winter stuff in warm weather. This happened to me last year when I was in South America.
This is what I pack in my 50L+10 Salewa backpack now that I'm back on the road:
- 1 pairs of jeans.
- 1 pair hiking trousers.
- Water proof hiking shoes.
- Chuck Taylors for everyday use.
- Havaianas.
- 7 tshirts.
- 1 buttoned shirt that I used when I'm going through airports.
- 5 pair of boxers.
- 7 pair of socks; 5 normal, 1 ankle height and 1 wool pair for winter.
- 1 pair of swimming shorts that I will also use for when it's warm.
- 1 travel towel.
- Sleeping bag.
- Sleeping mat.
- 1 long sleeved thermal tshirt that I forgot in Kraków.
- 1 pair of long thermal underwear.
- Polar.
- Hoodie.
- Windbreaker jacket.
- Toiletry bag.
I plan to buy or somehow come up with
- tent
- travel hammock
Unfortunetaly, I can't travel only with one backpack, so this is what I carry in my small backpack:
- Passport.
- Bankcards My accounts had been empty since September 2010. But has helped "proved" that I have money when I traveled Central America.
- Book I'm currently reading.
- Latop.
- Wool hat.
- A bunch of Buffs.
- Leatherman.
- Bunch of pens and markers to make the signs.
- European road atlas (or a map of the region I'm hitchhiking).
- Gloves (or inside the other backpack if I'm in a warm place).
- Notebook.
- My two books of memories (not even my passport is more valuable than these two books).
- Headlamp and torch.
- Mobile phone
- Point and shoot digital camera.
- SLR camera.
- iPod.
- Telephone and iPod charger and other cables.
Might seem like it's a lot of shit but it's not.
