Bags & Utility
Packable day-pack: https://amzn.to/4hlrFYH
~ This thing is awesome. Light and packs small, yet strong and surprisingly spacious. Pretty water resistant as well.
Packing Cubes: https://amzn.to/4hiZnOb
~ Best packing cubes you can buy. Very thin and lightweight, but with a compression zipper to squeeze as small as possible.
Bag Carabiner: https://amzn.to/43lvszb
~ This is also amazingly useful. The best use I’ve found is clipping your backpack to bathroom stalls when there isn’t a hook to avoiding putting your bag anywhere near the disgusting public toilet floor.
Bag Locks: https://amzn.to/3J3I1bF
~ Keep your bags secure
Soap Bar Bag: https://amzn.to/4nZaJK3
~ This thing is amazing. Put wet, slimy soap bars in it for packing. Somehow it allows your soap to dry without getting the inside of your pack wet. Pretty sure it’s magic.
Neck Pillow: https://amzn.to/47gFzqf
~ I don’t travel with a pillow much anymore, but this one was great. Comes in a bag you can carabiner to the outside of your pack and save that precious bag space.
Bucket Hat: https://amzn.to/479VhDy
~ Best hat in existence. That's all.
Camera Gear
Camera Backpack: https://amzn.to/47xtbU0
~ I love this camera bag a lot. It’s affordable, looks good, fits 2 laptops, and has a separate section to fit camera gear, drones, etc. in a way that it’s all protected. It also doesn’t scream, “I have thousands of dollars of electronics in here!!”, which is a huge plus while traveling. The top half is a separate compartment for all the miscellaneous stuff. It’s awesome.
