What I DO iNstead of trowinG old underwear, t-shirts and sock Away, i safe them and shrinkwrap them. SO when i go on a trip i can bin those old clothings after wearing one last TimE. I find a few benefits in this practice.
Shrinknwrapping realLy gets clothing down to its absolute minimum bulkwise and is waterproofing them at the same time.
As i travel along The space needed for my undergarments actually gets less.
And the best bit, No washing needs to be done when i Return home.
I’d be interested in seeing your list of spares.. SIMILAR BIKES ALLOWS A LOT OF ‘SHARING’. DO YOU CARRY JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOU OUT OF TROUBLE OR DO YOU CARRY BECAUSE OF LACK OF AVAILABILITY? OUR HOST IN THE UK HAS A SIMILAR BIKE TO OURS AND CARRIES ALMOST NOTHING. RELIES ON TRACKING DOWN STUFF LOCALLY OR IMPORTING. ADDED COST CAN BE QUITE OVER THE TOP. WHEN FACTORING THE COST I ALWAYS ADD THE DOWN TIME LIKE A 2-3 WEEK WAIT AND COSTS INVOLVED. WHILE WAITING TWO WEEKS IN MEXICO FOR A COIL TO BE SENT, RESEARCH REVEALED A CHEAP FLIGHT TO THE USA TO COLLECT AND RETURN WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER THAN THE WAIT AND SUBSEQUENT $ SPENT PLUS WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD WAY SOONER.
Some gGOOD tips HERe. I like THE idea of using velco strapping to compress stuff. I’m thinking avout doing my first trip this SUMMER so I’Ll keep this in mind.
