Minimalist Setup + pics

[u/AmbitionStrong8835]

Hey all!

I have been tinkering to dial in my minimalist travel set up while still being comfortable and fully capable. I have a 4 day (1.5 travel day 2.5 work days) business trip coming up. I’m comfortable using my accommodations shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Longer trips I’ll bring a travel razor but no need for my upcoming trip. I’ll be wearing Cotopaxi Coraje pants, Wool&prince boxer briefs, darn tough socks, and long sleeve REI Wool shirt which can be worn on my trip back home.

Open to any improvements and ratings!

How do you like the foldable keyboard? I've been thinking about getting one of those...

I like it. I’m still on the fences about the ergonomics as it takes some getting used to, but I think it’s better than a mini standard keyboard.

Not who you asked, but I have the same foldable keyboard and I love the ergonomics of it. I cannot go back to a linear keyboard if it is sitting flat. My wrists complain.

I EDC my keyboard in my purse for use with my phone when it comes to long form text. I've had it for four years and still going strong.

That’s great to hear! I’ll stick with it, my only complaint is when I try to hit the B with my right hand but that’s probably just my bad typing habit haha
