And quickly let us know if you have any favourite travel gear we missed. We'd love to hear from you! 😊

My wife and I went on a gap year in 2023, and your 'original' packing video was super helpful. It gave us a strong understanding of what we needed; we even got some of your same gear. I am so happy you guys did a V2. I am feeling motivated to go into another gap year now :). THANK YOU guys for such great content.

Over the years I've gained insight on updating my travel gear from technical clothing and multipurpose essentials to organizational items. I can say the soap bag, heroclip, packable bag from Peak Design, Stashers, laundry line, Packtowls, and pullover from Appalachian Gear Company have been invaluable. Thanks for the gear lists and updates!

Your last packing video is what originally brought me to the channel! But then I stayed because you both are just so pleasant, genuine and respectful. Thank you for sharing your tips and your journey!

Love the packing update!

One tip for the merino wool (sorry in advance if you already know… 😅) your laundry soap needs gl be compatible with wool/natural fabrics since regular detergents have enzymes that break down the natural fibers faster!

Didn't even think about renting ebooks from local library, i've been purchasing them.. ty for the tip!

[curtischen]

Thanks! I just love both of your energy, authenticity and downright cuteness. First time I ever sent a contribution 😂...

Being a longtime business traveller, and now facing retirement I hope to go on long trips to parts unknown....and I will employ many of your tips.

Stay healthy, happy and together ❤️

It does look wild to see it all laid out like that.
Sea to Summit kitchen sink is a game changer! I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. Add to cart* haha

This was super helpful! I'm going on a two week cruise with my family in a few months and am researching how to pack. What's awesome is that i carry a lot of the same stuff as you. 😊

Hi there! Thank you so much for putting this together. I always love your videos, showing what to pack, etc.

On a sidenote, I love your videos from Japan. I watched them before and during my trip to Japan. I was there for three weeks and found all of your tips so very helpful! Keep doing what you’re doing! Love watching your adventures! 🙌

Oh I love this kind of videos!! So helpful and interesting to see the thought process of different travelers when it comes to packing. We plan to travel around the world again in 3 years (for at least 1 year), but this time with our 2 kids. I can't wait! Your videos are always so inspiring. Cheers from Austria!
