Do ya just go and pay for a laundromat each time or something?
I’m not a backpacker, just someone that’s trying to travel cheaply (aka cheap airlines that don’t allow carry-ons or checked bags).
Hi! My fiancé, another couple, and I will be headed to Peru for a week at the beginning of June. They’ve given me total control to plan the entire thing which is both exhilarating and terrifying. For fun I decided to see what my packing would look like.
General itinerary:
Day 1: Fly into Lima late and take first flight to Cusco
Day 2: Cusco
Day 3: southern valley tour
Day 4: Machu Picchu
Day 5: late afternoon flight to Lima
Day 6: huacachina tour
Day 7: explore Lima and red eye flight home
I plan to take a Cotopaxi 35L bag and a Fanny pack. We are flying Spirit and my bag “technically” fits the requirements as a personal item so that’s my goal. I will be under packing the bag so that 1. It will fit and 2. I can buy 2-3 alpaca sweaters! Since I plan to buy sweaters there I did not pack much for heavy tops.
This was my first of (probably) many trials for packing and I already feel like I learned so much. I am a chronic over-packer and feel that is readily apparent based on my …
This weekend I packed ONE bag for 24h away from home.
Now, this might not sound like much, but I have ADHD (diagnosed in adulthood) and poor impulse control means I always struggle with bringing too much stuff on trips. (“Just one more book! Ooh I like that t-shirt too! What if I need 5 pairs of socks!” etc.) I also have curly hair so even tiny containers of shower products take up a gallon ziplock.
Lately I have been managing my symptoms better and it’s showing. This weekend, I showered before I left, so no bag of shower stuff. I brought ZERO books or projects, just my phone with a crossword app and earbuds.
I also brought: - wallet - phone charger - car snack - toiletry bag, period products, medications - coat, mittens, boots, bra, leggings, cardigan (wear day 1 and 2) - blouse (day 1) - t-shirt (pajamas and day 2) - pajama pants (can be worn in public if something happens to the leggings) - 1 extra underwear and socks
Everything fit nicely in my leather tote/ …
Was just reading another underwear post about how many to take and didn’t even think if they were male/female/other till someone pointed out how female underwear is so small anyway.
That got me thinking and lead to this.
Have any males out there (or people wearing more male style underwear) changed their underwear style to suit one bagging more.
Like I know male things are a thing, but I don’t know of I would be comfortable wearing them… But damn they would take a lot less space up.
P.S. I’ve tried to be inclusive and aware of the non traditional definition of the genders, I hope I wasn’t offensive or exclusionary, if I could of done better please let me know and how, I’m always open to learning and improving.
Hi friends! I will continue on the <500 word review scheme from /u/jawnpee and /u/iFight4Pi - here goes and hope you enjoy my first one.
Thank you to the Outlier team for sending me a pair to review. Quick pic in the gym to start.
Sizing and Background:
I am 6’0” and 185lb, and I wear size 32⁄33 in Outlier bottoms. Depending on how good I am eating, I typically range between 32-34” waist and 25.5-26” thighs.
In terms of athletics - I am primarily a powerlifter, and my top priority in a workout short is comfort I don’t need to think about. The last thing I want to worry about when straining under maximal loads is “SWEET CHRISTMAS are these seams gonna hold?!”
I ended up taking a Large because this is how Medium looked. The stretchy waist is otherwise comfortable in both pairs, and the 3bar provides ample opportunity for adjustment. And honestly, the four-way stretch in the Mediums still make everything comfortable, but I’d really be showing…everything.
Per measurements above, please note that I do have a larger than usual thigh to waist ratio, so I …
500>We’re on a long weekend in New Orleans, for my wife’s birthday. After brunch at Brennan’s, Victoria took some fit pics. So, here we go: (fit pics)
Excuse the typos, this is from my phone.
Wearing: * Experiment 300: Black Ultrasuede Overshirt * Charcoal Ultrafine Merino cut 2 T-shirt * Black Bomb Dungarees * Stiff leather belt with Cobra fastener * Frye harness boot (harness transplanted from the previous pair)
The pocket of the Overshirt is great for walking around the city: it holds your mask (masks and vax required inside everywhere in New Orleans), and it holds your sunglasses. Worn over a nice T, the overshirt acts as a blazer; I fit well in a good restaurant. (We had Brennan’s for brunch, Commander’s Palace is in queue for dinner.) It makes me look dressy, but is more comfortable than most blazers, and looks more stylish while being classy.
The Ultrasuede Overshirt is probably best compared to a Traveler. It differs from a traveler in a few ways. First, the material is very …
An ultra-excessive gym short. Four-way stretch freedom, doublewoven comfort and an Ecorepel Bio treatment keeps it all clean and dry. Powermesh pockets add extra breathability, while invisible zippers add security. A low profile elasticated waistband with an integrated stretch drawcord and 3Bar closure, for quick and secure adjustment, keeps it all fitting easy.
Now available in Winedeep, Seascape, Sagebrush, Dark Navy, and Black
A lightweight and strong F.Cloth pant, cut using long darts instead of side seams to create a free moving and tapered silhouette.
Somewhat surprisingly, I’m going to give this one to the Doublefine Merino Balaclava. Being cold is what they call a “weak link” problem. You are only as warm as your coldest part. Cruising around on a EUC in the cold requires a face covering, and on those days a wool balaclava is a fine thing. I much prefer it to a scarf, and wool does well with warm wet breath. The Doublefine wool isn’t itchy either. It’s a nice piece for this time of year and much appreciated.
