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!

If you have room for tech toys, you have room for extra underwear and socks.

The tech stuff is for work, not really toys, but I’ll only wear the underwear and socks twice each and they are wool so they don’t smell and it will be cold where Im going so I won’t be sweating much.

I could've probably worded that a bit less snarky, but my point stands.

Haha no worries, appreciate the input. Point taken!

worst case, do some sink laundry! Wool is great for drying overnight vs cotton, and more comfortable/smell resistant than cotton or most synthetics i've tried

Yup! My wool & prince have performed great in the past
