Packing Stupid: Smart Packing Travel Ideas

Overview: An over-view list of no-no's for weekend or month long travel.

A non-comprehensive list of the things I DO NOT bring with me when traveling. See the sister page, packing normal, the things I do take.

Excess Clothes

• a second pair of shoes
• a third pair of pants
• a 'light jacket'

Other Non-sense

• bicycle pump
• bulky rain gear (pack something small, cheap and disposable)
• radio / walkman

Don't Bring These Things

• hair brush
• large package of tooth paste (think: Dentist - sample size tube)
• make-up
• jewelry
• appliances
• a wallet (use a money clip)
• a third pen
• a second map
• the whole travel guide (consider ripping the section which you need out and taking this only)
• a third book

The Resolve: Listing all items to be packed helps keep in focus the notion, "Christ, who's gonna carry allthis crap?!" You won't forget anything; Pack man.
