That there are a lot of people who travel on the heavy side. Although, a better way to describe it would be to say, Overly-equipped side.
Perhaps this will be some news to you of which you may or may not believe. But, a lot thing can be put into a small space.
If you would just learn how to have patience, knowing the right way to fold clothes and towels, can free space for other things.
Quite a few travelers end up carrying quite a bit of stuff with them on holiday/vacation. "You never know what sort of place or situation you may run in to."
"When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money."
Here is the packing list for most trips. We find all these items essential, but it's up to you to decide whether your need it or not. Leave 30% empty space in your bag when you leave.
Otherwise, you may need another bag on the way back.
If you plan to go hiking and/or employing a public transport, you will wish to leave many of your belongings back at home.
However, if you intend on being somewhere for a long period of time, then you might want to bring a few additional items along.
This is what is called Gear.
There are a few things that you would and will never ever bring along with you, as they are readily available for purchase just about anywhere.
If you will be using a rental car or camper, it will carry extra belongings with you while you are traveling.
Some of the key items that you should not ever leave home without (when using your own transportation), are
the usual tools, spare tires, and a jack.
