The ultimate Packing List for the Adventure Traveler. When I decided to quit my job and a “normal” life for that of an adventure traveler I had to first dispose of a lot of my possessions. After all, I was going to be gone for years. Once I got rid of everything I then had to set my mind to what I needed to pack for my journey. Going from a 2 bedroom house to a backpack sounds like an easy task but it is anything but.
Getting It Just Right
It took me over 3 months of research and trial and error to get to where I thought I had it right. Did you know that a pair of jeans does not work? They are too bulky and heavy. It took me another 1 year of travel to figure out my mistakes and to adjust my limited possessions to where I had what I needed and only what I needed. Do you realize that buying cheap gear does not save you money but costs you more in the long run?
Saving You Time & Giving You Confidence
I have taken this knowledge and experience and developed what I believe to be the web’s best travel gear packing lists out there. Not only do I provide comprehensive lists of what to pack and what gear to use but also I explain why each item is useful and tips on what to consider when getting them. To make it super simple for you there are also links to purchase the exact same items I use. Theoretically, using the packing lists provided you can do what I took years to figure out and you can be packed in a few weeks with the confidence that you will have it mostly right.
Of course you are not going to want all of the exact same items I use but this packing list will significantly simplify the process. I hope you enjoy using the Ultimate Travel Gear Guide in our Resources section and if so please share it with your friends!
