What are you looking for in a new daypack? A work/commuter bag for the stuff you listed? Or something that can carry more? Let me know, I might be able to make some recommendations from our stuff or others.

Thanks for the reply.
Makes sense. I also suffer from backpain but until I find an actual backpack that also has wheels – one that is lightweight with a proper back system, I am back to regular backpack.

Great blog, I just found it yesterday!

Thanks Loni. Yes the wheels are a pain on stairs, but it is the least worst option for me, that of not carrying heavy gear on my back.

I don’t carry a bedsheet but I do have a sleeping bag liner for those times when I am in a cheapo guesthouse.

Good luck with your trip! Yes nice to bring your stuff then work it out as you go. It’s not a competition so take what you are comfortable with.

I won’t be in Thailand this October as I have other plans in Europe, but maybe in November so maybe we will cross paths 🙂

Thank you for the mention!

That is so cool! We did a lot of packing and unpacking practice before we really decided what stuff we really don’t need but still Justin and I got a big suitcases each. I know in time we are going to dump some stuff that we hardly use.

Are you coming to Chiang Mai or straight to Bangkok? Would love to hang out again!

Ha, yes I was wondering how many people would recognize that street.

As slow travellers I don’t see the need to go ultra-minimal so backpack and daybag it is for me too.

I travel with two bags also. Not as much stuff as this, but one of my first trips I didn’t have very much and wished I had a bit more.

A backpack and a handbag suits me perfectly.

“Leave the backpack for backpacking” – I like that idea, and it’s true for me.
