Travel Gear

Hi,
One quick question, how did you get out of the USA with a knife? I’m going to Japan in September, and I wanted to have a small swiss utility knife like yours, but they’ll take it away if I get on the plane with it. Did you check it?

Curious,

You can bring a knife no problem, just check it and don’t carry it in the cabin.

Awesome amount of kit man!

I read that you “used your own laptop” at some point in your journey, yet you haven’t included the laptop on this inventory?

It in the photo. Top center. Macbook Pro 15″.

what about the skull plushie!

I’m about to do exactly what you’re doing with even have the same laptop. :) Which bag/backpack do you prefer? How do you keep your laptop safe? Does the laptop limit your activities or have you found ways to keep it safe while you’re out and about?

Hey,
What kind of backpack do you use? The backpack I have now is pretty good, but doesn’t have a duffle bag type strap. Also, is your bag loadable from the front or do you have to access it from the top?

I don’t have a backpack per se. It is more of a duffle bag with some shoulder straps I never use. I usually have my camera bag on my back and sling my main bag over my shoulder if I have to carry both. I’m not totally in love with this set up and I might change it later and get a real backpack.

Cool, thanks.

Hey Gary,
What kind of voltage converter/power adapters do you use? I’ve been looking into getting something but I’ve heard horror stories of electronics getting fried. Have you had much luck with these things?

How big is your bag? That must be alot of stuff to carry around.

I got a new bag in Australia. My main bag is a 90L with a zip off 15L day pack. I also have a small shoulder bag for my camera.

Total weight is about 25kg for everything.
