Packing for Trips

[Booker]

OK, time for the dorky post of the week. How many uniforms does everyone carry with them on a trip? In other words, how many shirts and pants do you take for two-, three-, and four-days?

 

[Tripower455]

A shirt for each day and one pair of uniform pants.

 

[say again]

2 uniform shirts, 1 regular shirt
1 pair of work pants, 1 regular
Bathing suit
rubbers (ya never know)
toiletry kit
socks and unda-pants

 

[labbats]

1 pair of work pants
1 pair of jeans or khakis
1 work shirt for every 2-3 days
1 white T-shirt (undershirt) for every working day
1 pair of underwear every day (it's true Mom)
1 pair of work socks for every working day
Bathing suit
Shorts
Tennis shoes
Tube socks
Collared shirt
Normal T-shirt/Sweatshirt if it's winter

You gotta be kidding me

I've been travelling for almost six weeks.

After those posts I'm embarrassed to admit how little I pack.

I look at it like a camping trip. What's the LEAST I can SURVIVE with.

Tube socks

You are joking, right?

I usually fly four-day trips, so three uniform shirts, two pairs of uniform pants. I'll normally wear the same pants the whole trip, unless it's extremely hot (sweat) or I spill something on them. One shirt per two-days. One as a back-up. I used to be a shirt-per-day guy, but that's just too much stuff.

1) fresh undies for each day, and if I have room an extra day's worth (for an unexpected problem on the last day, or if I poop myself, hasn't happened yet though...)
2) one fresh uniform shirt for each day in the summer, one for every two days in the winter
3) one change of street clothes, including sneakers
4) bathroom kit
5) cell-phone charger and headset
6) whatever book I'm reading at the moment

if I have room...

7) workout clothes, if the planned overnight has a decent workout room and I'm feeling motivated to use it
8) a jacket that doesn't make me look like a crewmember (ie. navy blue trenchcoat)
9) road food

pretty light packer, oftentimes in the summer (with lighter clothes) I only have half my suitcase filled, but for a long trip (which I fortunately don't do often anymore), I often have to take an extra smaller "man-purse" for my food.

1 work shirt for every 2-3 days

You wear the same shirt three days in a row? Do you do laundry on the road? If not....EEEWWWWWWW!

Hahaha that's funny, everybody I know wears the same shirt for the entire trip, I mean, all we do is keep the seat warm...

I agree wit mar, as little as possible, but plenty of underwear and white shirts.
