  • Don't take a book, you aren't doing any reading. See also: a journal for jotting things down. At least half a kilo of deadweight there.

    Disagree. If you're caught in your tent expecting days of rain and don't want to roll out, having a book is great.

    Everything else sounds pretty spot on :)

    Do you get less fussy with the state of your clothes?

    Yes. But having things like merino stuff that doesn't stink, helps a bit, if you're feeling self-conscious going out.

    In Bormio, I was wearing the same stuff every day. No fucks given.

    If you're more fussy you can sink wash undies and socks in any built up places. If the weather is good you can bathe in streams and wash your t-shirt type stuff.

  • Disagree. If you're caught in your tent expecting days of rain and don't want to roll out, having a book is great.

    Is a fair point, but given I was staying in hotels and the weather was delightful, I was out every night.

  • Yeah, I'm thinking back to my 4 months or so on the road. I was camping when I could and I LOVED having my Bill Bryson book with me.
