Packing for a 7 day tour

[honeycomb]

I have heard about one guy who washes out his clothes in the sink every night. He then hangs them up in the bathroom, turns on the hairdryer, and closes the door. This expedites the drying process.

Actually if this individual had used a 'CoolMax' product (not to expensive mind you) he could have let them dry in an hour or two without a hair dryer.

If you want good advice then go to:

This site is full of all kinds of info. You could spend days looking it over in your spare time.

I ordered the Red Oxx (www.redoxx.com) 'AirBoss' and have a laptop bag for all of my trips.

I don't think my two bags weigh (in total) more than 31 pounds (as per airline scales) loaded for 7 plus days of work.

YMMV.

Good Luck.



Edited to reflect both bags together don't weigh more than 31 pounds in total.

That site is great, I've been packing this way for the past 6 months or so, I've traveled a few times for 2 or more weeks out of one carry-on bag. It can be done as long as you use some restraint with what you're carrying. I use a Tom Bihn Aeronaut http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/500/TB0906 It's a great bag and weighs less packed than most empty PNS bags.

Whatever you do, packing is a personal thing, afterall, it's YOUR stuff, and with 7/7 it's basically all the stuff that you'll have for half your life, do whatever you're comfortable with. Personally, I prefer to carry the minimum possible so that it's light and I don't have to check my luggage, pick your priorities and go from there.

I did manage to break the zipper on an outside pocket of the 26" bag. I spent $18 to send it in and got it back within a week. Very impressive turn time.

I also managed to break probably the same zipper. However I had an airline through MSP and went down to the Stopover store and they fixed it for me on site and at no charge. Took about 5 minutes. I am most impressed with how these bags hold up got over a year on mine and it still looks brand new.
