This just shows you that pussy ass americans dont do any real traveling. In most parts of the world (and US for that matter) carrying a laptop round is so unecessary , and an expensive liability. Heres my list..

-Swiss Army Knife
-Blanket
-M65 Jacket
-Rucksack , Canvas+leather
-Mess tins + Hexamine stove + 1 days Dehydrated food (Mainly for emergencies , and late night arrivals)
-Maple Syrup (makes any food ediable)
-Rail map
-Emergency Money (not less than $100 , not more than $300, hidden in sock)
-Hat
-Paperback

The laptop is for posting on /trv/, google maps, and letting paranoid family members know that I'm still alive. I'd replace it with an iPhone or equivalent in a heartbeat if I had the budget.

Actually , most of my travelling is done in the US and europe. THe fact is though that I would only use a lap-top infrequently , and considering its value , its actually cheaper to go to an internet cafe to upload photos. Id have to keep worrying aboyt where I left it. After all , most hostels are reasonably safe , but its asking for trouble. You can afford to get it wet , drop it, and most of the time its just weight you dont need

I can understand why people don't take them, but for me, I'm fine with it. When I'm on holidays, I take the mindset 'if i get mugged big deal' sure I'm going to be pissed, but hey, if they steal my shit atleast I'm alive. Plus my insurance will cover it.

I'm in to photograph, so I like to edit my shit before uploading. Plus it's nice to be able to use my own computer compared to someone elses. I'm OCD like that n shit.

I traveled for a month in thailand once with just a messenger bag, 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, 1 swimsuit, a towel, a tooth brush, and my wallet.

this was after i got so drunk in ko pi pi that i threw up all over the majority of my clothes and backpack. i cleaned them off and then sold them because we were pretty broke anyway

What do you need baking soda for?

baking soda is for brushing teeth, I don't like sugary toothpaste.

Camera
Cell phone* and a spare battery
Belt
Passport
Debit Card
Credit Card
CA driver's license

I can take care of most other stuff like deodorant and toothbrush, spare clothing, etc... with some money and a nearby convenience shop.

As for the phone, I have two, and I travel with my "travel" phone. The main phone is an iPhone, and the travel phone is a Samsung Sync. The iPhone has GPS and internet and all that great stuff, but the Samsung Sync lasts for like 10 days without needing a recharge, and I can switch out the battery with almost 0 effort for a new one with full charge.

I just pop out the SIM and take the Sync and I'm good to go for a few weeks without so much as an outlet.

Use regular baking soda, Arm and Hammer or similar brand. Put about an aspirin sized amount in your palm, get your toothbrush wet and pick up the soda on the brush, then brush with it. It has kind of a salty taste but not too bad, it can make you drool a little bit though. Rinse your mouth three times.

I keep the soda in an old vitamin jar with a flip top lid, easy to open with one hand.

I have used soda for years instead of toothpaste, toothpaste made me feel like I had to throw up sometimes, with the foaming and sugar taste.

With soda, just remember to rinse your mouth with water three times and its good. Otherwise the taste of the soda can linger on.
