These are the best pairs of underwear ever invented.\n<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartwool.com\/socks.html?gender=9914\">SmartWool socks<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n<li>2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/us\/product\/?p=44442-0-HFFY&#038;dmmid=&#038;src=orderconf_pr\">Patagonia Capilene shirts<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li>1 pair of shorts\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not packed into my bag but what I&#8217;m already wearing is <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>shoes, <\/li>\n<li>jeans,\n<\/li>\n<li>socks,\n<\/li>\n<li>undies,\n<\/li>\n<li>shirt and\n<\/li>\n<li>jacket.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is ideal for traveling in places that are 50 degrees Fahrenheit and up. <\/p>\n<p>For winter, I just layer on a winter jacket with inner and outer shell, gloves, long underwear, and substitute boots for shoes, but this is a pain to travel with.<\/p>\n<p>I bring two 35mm film canisters worth of laundry detergent for a week and pack them in two ziplock bags.<\/p>\n<p>I wash one pair of underwear each night, and the shirt and smart wool socks after 3 uses.<\/p>\n<p>To dry them, I ring them out, wrap them in a hotel towel and stomp out the moisture. I then hang them wherever it is convenient.<\/p>\n<p>The briefs can dry in 4 hours when it is dry and warm. The socks and shirt take 8 hours but you might have to attach them to the outside of a backpack if it is humid or not that warm out.<\/p>\n<p>For the jacket and jeans, I&#8217;ve just relied on Febreeze to deodorize them. I&#8217;ve been looking into quick dry jackets and pants, but haven&#8217;t researched that yet.<\/p>\n<p>With the clothing setup above you will be able to do a week of travel. You might be able to stretch it out to two weeks if you can find a laundrymat to take of the jeans and jacket.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps.<\/p>\n<p>How do you travel light?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been using my Langly Alpha-Pro bag to travel light.
