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:

• 6 x t-shirts
• 2 x tank tops
• handful of ginches aka: my saturday outfit
• boardshorts
• 1 x jeans
• 2 x shorts
• 2 x collared shirts
• 2 x long socks
• windbreaker
• belt

• headphones – surprisingly, i’m so happy i decided to pack these
• sunglasses
• fuji x-t10 camera + charger
• gopro + charger
• 2 x gopro mounts and selfie stick
• 1tb backup drive
• mhl to hdmi cable – for outputting video from table to tvs
• travel plug adapter
• bellroy slim wallet
• samsung note3 – barely hanging on for dear life
• asus win10 touchscreen ultrabook – not in love with this but much ligher than my old laptop
• 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?
