\"backpakers\"<\/p>\n

Lately, even stripping travel down to the bare minimum, i.e. backpacking, has gotten lost in the piles of gear and tech out there (see this article on flashpacking<\/a>). Over at Vagabondish<\/a>, they bring true \u201cbackpacking\u201d ideals back to the forefront with four tips that will make you rethink that extra pair of underwear you stuffed in your carryon.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find out what \u201cessential\u201d really is.<\/em> You\u2019d be surprised at how little you need to get by. Laptop, camera, and two changes of clothes\u2026 done.<\/li>\n
  2. If you can find it there, buy it there.<\/em> Things like extra batteries, or extra anything can be left at home. Odds are, if you need them, you can buy them where ever you are.<\/li>\n
  3. A good carry on bag is priceless.<\/em> If you\u2019re really good, it\u2019s all you need.<\/li>\n
  4. Consolidate your entertainment by going digital.<\/em> Cd\u2019s, novels, and DVD\u2019s don\u2019t stand a chance against their digital counterparts in terms of space and weight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In my case, I would say three out of four isn\u2019t too bad and I would often catagorize myself as a backpacker. The thing is… I rather enjoy the feel of fresh undies on day eleven of a trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
