Clothing,  Luggage

suitcase life, revisited

it’s no surprise that i overpacked at the start of this trip.  as the city count has gone up, so has my luggage size decreased.  i’ve gone from two backpacks, an expanded carry-on and a snowboard bag to one backpack and a compressed carry-on.  yet with this setup it still feels too big on those times where we’re commuting via trains.

enter hong kong.

in my dumbassedness, i left for this trip without a camera and have ended up adding a mirrorless camera to the mix three weeks ago; a purchase i don’t regret making in the least but this definitely doesn’t allow me to travel light by any means.  add a few gopro mounts to the mix and i feel like my electronics portion of my luggage is growing out of control.  not sure how else to slim this down but this is what i’m working with now:

  • bellroy travel wallet – another money addition.  would recommend this to anyone who travels.  thanks cyguy

i’m open to any suggestions to help slim this down.  i think i might be addicted to the thought of throwing things out.  is there such a thing?

    Ridiculous.

    How is 5 pairs of undies enough? Soiled undies must be rotation.

    Also what about no-show socks?

    Also, you’re a Canadian passport holder? When did that happen?

    I like that your tshirts are so colourfu.

      i don’t think these undies have ever been washed so frequently and vigorously. best $1 per spent in the beijing markets!

      my strategy behind my coloured shirts is that it dictates what i will order that day; hedging vs a broader range of food stains

      ain’t nobody got time for socks when it’s not raining
