Hi
I'll be travelling to southeast asia for two months between June & August (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam) And wanted to ask for your experiences with packing/ backpacks as i have a unique problem.
I broke my leftside collarbone back in Nov, had surgery n there's a pin in there. I'm not sure i'll be able to handle double strapping a traditional backpack on it. Though it's fully healed, the pin being on a bone that's very close to the surface of the skin means there's irritation and some pain when i double strap with a normal backpack (a heavier one would prob be a nightmare for 2 months)
So i was wondering, since i'll be slumming it a bit & not taking anything unnecessary (buying most clothes and anything i can get there etc) i was thinking of taking the biggest messenger bag i could instead.
What do you guys think, is this a dumb idea? what's the biggest capacity/ toughest messenger bag would you recommend?
Obviously I'd need a right shoulder one.
I'd appreciate any advice, tips.
Cheers
