Awesome, I love seeing what people have in their pack.
Wasn’t this posted somewhere else? I coulda swore that I saw this a couple months ago.

This is more like a guide on how to travel with a bull’s eye on your back. I mean, really. Breakaway pants? An around-the-neck safety pouch? Only if you want to look like a rookie.

Does Matador delete comments that aren’t gushingly positive? Ridiculous.

Great video!!! But I tend to like having a few more pairs of underwear, it’s nice to feel at least a little bit clean!!!

I usually bring flippers, dict tape and a magnifying glass…but I tend to over pack and lug a small nation around with me! The best advice I have heard is,
‘pack you bag with everything you think you need then leave half behind.’
You can always get things on the road, if fact it is better to leave space for clothing you will buy.
