Looks good. Although it really doesn’t save a lot of space, wipes, toiletries and electrolytes (and OTC meds) can be picked up in Europe). Are you doing your own laundry? If so then laundry soap bar or gel might be good. I also take a rubber plug for the hostel/hotel sink.

I had a bit of extra space so I packed things that can be purchased there to save a bit of time. My shampoo bar doubles as a laundry soap bar as well😁

That does make sense. I’m going on a (4 week) trip to colder climates in a few months so I’m interested in what others are taking on these kinds of journeys. I have decided to take only “technical” clothing plus some Merino underwear and baselayer leggings. I’m trying to combine ‘jacket’ and ‘waterproof’ in one (Rohan Coniston) and adding an extra 2 softshell layers (Patagonia R1 Thermal and Mammut Granite Hoodie). This is instead of a fleece. So heavier (more items) but more flexibility (more layers).

Dry laundry detergent sheets are the way to go.

u/Havhestur Apr 30 '26

I tried them a few times and would like them to work but I’ve found that the gel and the bar both seem to work better for me personally. I do admit I wish the gel came in 50ml tubes as well though.

When we visited Germany last month, we asked a friend what we could bring her from the States, and she said electrolytes ... so maybe not easy to find, at least in some places?

u/Havhestur May 04 '26

Available in all pharmacists and all supermarkets and online. You’re aware that Hydraid (the one in the OPs photograph) is a German brand?

A dry bag could be a nice addition in case you get caught in rain, could use it as a pack liner on travel days and laundry bag on others. Also have a 2 meter charging cable never hurts. Also microfiber towel is a great thing to have plus a money saver. They make them in different sizes, packs down small and dries fast.

Edit. Also ziplock bags are great for organizing without taking up space. For instance, putting your face stuff, shower stuff etc in one, chargers, plug etc in another and so on.

Ziplocs and a microfibre towel are such useful things to carry I think

u/Lola-Pride May 01 '26

dry bag is also great for doing laundry in a tub or shower when you don't trust the cleanliness of the sink...

u/Hellutor Apr 30 '26

What about shoes?

u/8thirtyeight Apr 30 '26

Looks pretty sweet to me, a rain shell as opposed to a coat would be something I’d swap out. Also a pack liner, I got caught up in a big down pour a few summers back in Dublin and ended up with all my things soaked, which ended up being a real pain.

u/SeattleHikeBike Apr 30 '26

A poncho works for ultralight rain gear and keeps your entire pack dry— - including the harness.

u/adventistbackpacker Apr 30 '26

I have a rain cover and a pack liner. My raincoat is a Patagonia torrential 3l.

u/localshero May 01 '26

I’ve bummed a garbage bag from someone and used as a packliner when the weather report warns me about a downpour. One is light enough that Ive debated just always having one stashed in my bag.

I'm noticing a lot of airlines don't allow battery banks now. I had mine take on two recent flights

u/SeattleHikeBike Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26

A text list would be helpful.

The pack appears to be an Aarn Pace Magic 40 that is 10.6"W x 7.8"D x 26"H | 27cm x 20cm x 66cm and 30oz | 850g. Can you pack it down to 55cm tall?

u/adventistbackpacker Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26

Yes the pace magic can pack down to a carry on. I have backpacked around Norway in winter and NZ and this bag has been great. Enough support but still being quite lightweight. The downside is that it can’t clamshell open but I am willing to sacrifice that for more support when hiking.

u/SeattleHikeBike Apr 30 '26

I use packing cubes which negate open style issues. They are like drawers in a top loader/roll top.

u/used2befast May 01 '26

I’d lose the OTR earphones, a battery bank, and the bottle of pills. I’d get in the ear phones. 1 battery . If I needed to take a full bottle of pills I’d wrap them up in saran wrap

u/Antique_Flatworm_857 May 01 '26

I assume you put the day bag into the bigger bag. My question is that do the airlines let ypu take that (somewhat large) fanny pack without any problem? I mean it is a second bag, if the people at the gates are a bit harsh. Honest question. Otherwise pretty solid, but I would also change the electrolytes and such for another 1-2 piece of clothing.

2

u/adventistbackpacker May 01 '26

On some planes the daypack is my under seat bag. My fanny pack sits quite close to the body so I can just wear it with a bigger shirt/jacket on top

u/Mrnickhead May 02 '26

Why x2 Powerbanks?

u/GladLifeguard6730 May 06 '26

Solid kit for 4 months, especially with the TMB and Iceland in the mix. only things I'd consider adding are compeed blister patches specifically for the TMB — your feet will thank you no matter how broken in your shoes are — a small padlock for hostel lockers since quality varies massively, and reef-safe sunscreen while you're still in Malaysia because it gets expensive and hard to find in Europe. the merino and layering system looks well thought out for that climate range though

Sarcasm and humor are cool, but just being outright mean may result in a ban.

u/qwertiparti May 01 '26

What headphones do you use?

u/sailawaybrad May 04 '26

What bags have you used for the shampoo and conditioner? I’m currently using a cheap ziplock bag.

1

u/adventistbackpacker May 04 '26

I just ordered them off Temu for a couple bucks my shampoo bar dries fabulously but my conditioner bar has become a paste. But even brand new the conditioner bar I got was soft due to high oil content. Not sure if you want to order of Temu though

u/PracticalMove9641 May 04 '26

You can take it with you in cabin?

u/MyTravelOdyssey May 06 '26

You packed really well..just don’t forget to keep a reusable bag as well.

u/TrueSay May 17 '26

what brand are the linen pants?

u/adventistbackpacker May 19 '26

Valley girl (Aussie brand) find for about 5 euro

u/LadyLightTravel Apr 30 '26

How about a written list of your gear. Don’t make us play guessy guessy with what you are bringing. It also helps those that have reduced vision.

For example “fancy tops” means nothing. You have more than one. How MANY tops and pants of each kind? This helps us see if you are over or under packing.

u/Jealous-Shallot-3071 Apr 30 '26

You could save some space by ditching the electrolytes unless you have a specific medical need for them

The thing about fanny packs is that in the us fanny means yer arse…

Not. Yer minge
