    Light Travel - Carry-On Only
    (Part 2 of 2)


    By Steve Gillman

    You don't even have to buy new clothes, if you don't want to. You don't have to buy a scale and count ounces. Just choose lighter alternatives whenever you can. Set aside your lightest jacket, socks and pants for your next trip. Simplicity, not complicated planning, is the goal.

    More Light Travel Secrets

    Money can replace weight. Why carry two pounds of shampoo when you can buy small bottles as you travel? It won't cost much more to buy things as you go. Also, you really don't know what you'll need, particularly on an overseas trip. Buy things as you need them, and you won't have a pile of useless things in your luggage. Don't we all regularly unpack things at home that we never once used during a trip?
    Gifts and souvenirs? If you buy bulky gifts for family or friends, why carry them around for weeks? Put them in the mail.

    What I Took For Six weeks in Ecuador:
    • 8 pairs of thin nylon socks (less than an ounce per pair)
    • 2 silk shirts for restaurants and discos (3 ounces each)
    • 4 poly/cotton blend t-shirts (5-6 ounces each)
    • 5 pair of light underwear (2-3 ounces each)
    • 1 extra pair of lightweight slacks (9 ounces)
    • Single layer nylon shorts for hiking or swimming (2 ounces)
    • Thin gloves (1 ounce)
    • Thin hat (1 ounce - honestly)
    • Thin wool sweater (11 ounces)
    • Waterproof/breathable rainsuit (14 ounces for the set)
    • Light plastic camera (3 ounces)
    • Sunglasses (1 ounce)
    • Small chess set (3 ounces)
    • Bathroom kit (5 ounces)
    • Maps, notebook and various small things (3 or 4 pounds)
    My pack weighed ten pounds. My wife's weighed 8 pounds. We never felt deprived. I'm not suggesting you start counting ounces (that comes from my backpacking days), or that you buy all new lightweight things. Just start setting aside your lightest shirts, socks, etc., and you can enjoy the benefits of light travel.
