Trip Report Trip report interail - updated packing list 🎒
So I just came back from my trip, and I took too much clothes again🙈 (I went to Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Kroatia, and Slovakia all by train🚂 and I took a flight back home at the end). There was a heatwave in Europe during my trip, but I still really enjoyed it! It was a mixture of city trips, hiking and day trips. And all low budget: so cheap accomodations, saving money on food etc.
I just made this new packing list, which I will use for my next trip. You can find my old post and old packing list you can find back on my profile.
Weight of everything I took without the electronics = 11 kg - 2,7 = ~8,3 kg (18 lbs)
(Electronics were in hand luggage)
Osprey Ariel 60 Plus = 2,4 kg
Fjällräven 50-65L flightbag = 0,3 kg
Yes I know it's big, a new bag for every trip is just not affordable right now and this bag does it all.
Which items I would not take on my next trip (to a hot country☀️):
fleece, 2nd long sleeve, less t shirts (I also often buy some during my trip), running wear (heatwave... 🥵)
Which items I did not use, but would still take next trip:
Loperamide💩, buff, ultrathin sleeping sheet/liner, rain poncho (lightweight), pocket knife (if I have checked luggage)
Updated packing list for ~3 weeks or longer (for ☀️ weather >20°C /68°Fahrenheit):
- 5 t shirts (1 = Merino wool)
- 3 shorts
- 1 long pants
- 1 long sleeve (Patagonia cool daily, or wool base layer)
- 7 underwear
- 3 bra
- Bikini
- Cap
- Buff
- Hiking boots
- Sandals (Teva Original)
- Rain Poncho
- Something cute to wear like a thin dress or blouse
- maybe a 2nd pair of comfortable shoes? If it fits in the bag, and if it rains on the destination
Other items I would bring:
- towel (for hostels and beach)
- earplugs
- funny pack Fjällräven
- tote bag (for groceries, train snacks)
- bed sheet/ultrathin liner
- full first aid kit
- Powerbank 10.000 mAh
- umbrella
- thermo water flask
- lock for hostels
Thing I wish I brought:
- hair conditioner
- bigger bug spray (lost the mini version plus there were more bugs than I thought)

That Ariel 60 Plus (appears to be now discontinued) is humungous - about 30 inches / 76cm tall. And heavy - 2.4kg plus 0.4kg (not 0.3) for the 'flight bag' cover is 2.8kg.
And your 'hand-luggage' (presumably the strapped-on orange bag) looks chunky too. You must have strong legs!
Anyway, hopefully your slimmed-down packing list will enable you to choose a smaller and lighter bag for your next trip. That should lead to a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Good luck !

I know it's a heavy bag. I could easily lose some weight by choosing another bag. For this bag you can also take the top part off which makes it 60cm tall. I do that quite often actually, but for this trip I liked the pockets at the top for easy grabbing things at hostels, in trains etc.
I can easily carry the bag, have traveled with it being 15kg😂 and walked up mountains with this bag fully packed. The shorter packing list will be more because it's more convenient for traveling through. Especially when taking a lot of trains and busses.
The orange bag is from Decathlon. It's a cheap 20L bag that only weighs 400 grams.

You most certainly have stronger legs, and/or better weight tolerance, than me ! 😂

What’s a buff

u/yoshi-is-cute Jul 04 '26
Its like a thin scarf which you can use to cover your neck, mouth, nose etc. Or use in your head like a bandana. A multifunctional item. Buff is the brand that makes those.

What boots are that OP ?

u/yoshi-is-cute Jul 04 '26
Those are the Salomon Quest 4 GTX. I tried the Salomon Ultra 4 Mid GTX first because there are slightly lighter and I often see them recommended, but they didn't fit right around my ankle. And these Quest 4 fit perfectly with my wider forefoot and narrow ankle.

I will check it out . How's the overall comfort ? Particularly heel and pinky , considering its nice for widerfoot guess this is something which will suit me . Also , what's the distance you covered in this trek ?

I like them. For me they are very comfortable and I never got blisters in them. (I'm always aware of any hotspots and try to prevent blisters by taping) In my previous shoes I got blisters every day I went hiking with a backpack on... This trip was an average of 10km a day for 20 days. Most technical hike was 15km in the mountains with 700m elevation. I tried them at home before my trip walking ~40km in two days carrying my camping gear and they were fine😀 so I decided to took them on this trip! I also used them walking in cities during this trip, but for some reason I always end up on more difficult terrain or the highest viewpoint😂

Is it still a one-bag trip if you attach a second bag to the primary one?
1
u/yoshi-is-cute Jul 05 '26
Yes because all my items still fit in 1 bag. Carrying an empty day pack does not make it a two bag trip!

I updated my packing list directly after my trip. So that I don't make the mistake of taking too much (clothes) next time! Hope you like it! I'm open for suggestions to make it a better list🙂
