    As a female backpacker, I always have a problem packing but now seeing how males do it...I feel so inspired ha ha ha Just bought a 50 L backpack for Vietnam trip...will do my best to be a minimalist. Thanks for the tips..

      You can do it! I’ve met many female travelers with 50 liter packs who are traveling for a year

    Hey, good video. I would make a couple of suggestions, more shorts than trousers for sure, I get away with one pair of trousers now, because its just so hot in asia! I recommend Linen trousers and shorts, or sports shorts. I found swim shorts to be too sticky to wear casually, also I found it better to get a pair of casual shorts with a lining and swim in them. Most locals swim with their clothes on in Asia so you do stand out in swim-wear. Would also take more underwear and less shirts, would take at least one long sleeved shirt you can use if mosquitos are about, and a shirt and t-shirt is warm enough for a lot of colder places. I found a Hoody isnt needed in the hot countries like Thailand and Philippines. Also try and get a pack that fits in cabin luggage size, usually a 40l pack will fit. Saves paying for hold luggage and it wont get lost! You ideally need to aim at getting your pack under 7kg, for Air Asia you have to be that weight, but you can wear a few things, and put a few things in your pockets to get the weight down. I think with all that tech its going to be way over that limit but I do understand you need all that to do video blogs etc. Would recommend just the ipad and no laptop unless people need to do a lot of work away from home. Also I found that I needed breathable footwear again due to the heat and humidity.

    As someone who has frequently visited SE Asia, the most important tip is to bring an umbrella with you wherever you go.

  • @Winterstick549
    @Winterstick549 6 лет назад

    As a part time resident in Thailand, I recommend one black, or predominantly black shirt in case you attend a funeral.
    Shorts, bring river shorts. They are easy tp wash in the shower and also work as swim trunks with cargo pockets.
    Make sure and legwear has cargo pockets.
    My favorite trekking sandals are from Teva and Columbia.
    Flip Flop that are comfy? Sunuk Faultlines or Beer Cozies rock.
    My favorite hiking boots are Merrill Moabs, great for the wet and the dry.
    I wear mine on the USA for no reason at all.
    Nice video!

    You need at least one pair of long pants, or there will be a lot of places you can't go. Some temples and other religious places, and in general graves will you need long pants to be allowed in.
    If you have to walk in a jungle it's preferable to.
    In some mountains and caves it can be cold, at some times a year.

    Great tips, Alexander. I grabbed the Redwing 50. Were you able to get away with it as a carry-on? I'll aim not to fill it to capacity. Also: Merino Wool T-shirts, socks, and underwear 👌

    I rather not bring white shirts because sometimes laundry services mess it up and your shirts end up with orange stain all over them. Happened to me far too many times...

    Hi Alexander. Great post. Few questions, where did you get your boots from? And do those ear plugs/muffs block out any sound? If so could you tell me the brand name so I can search on Amazon.

    • @AlexanderTravelbum
      @AlexanderTravelbum  6 лет назад +1

      rossco129 my boots were found used at Buffalo Exchange, with no brand on them ha. Sorry that won't help. And the ear plugs I used were Hearos, but I believe they're just cheap ones. Any ear plugs seem to work for me

    • @TheAustralianMade
      @TheAustralianMade 5 лет назад +2

      I just travelled for 3 months with a 40L bag. The amount of stuff you need doesn't change. A 2 week trip needs the same amount of stuff as a 2 month trip when you think about it. Remember you can always buy more clothes over there.

  • @jerseyrex9823

    • @AlexanderTravelbum

      Nope, never. I know it can happen, but if you pack it down and strap it tight, it appears much smaller than it is

    Seriously 3 T-shirt’s? 3 underwear? And 3 socks? Those are the items I would bring more of. And I’ve traveled Asia a lot. Unless you want to stink there. I’ve often changed shirts 2-3 times in a day it’s so hot. Stay dry shirts are lightweight and can wash and dry quickly. Bring 5 they take up no room. If you’re wearing shoes you want more then 3 socks. Underwear speaks for itself. How much room would 2-3 more underwear take up?

    • @AlexanderTravelbum
      @AlexanderTravelbum  6 лет назад

      1 - I keep the camera in the small daypack or on me at all times. While packing for the big trip, the day pack is stuffed, so I just keep the camera at the very top of the backpack where it’s safest from being squashed. 2 - medicine I just keep with all my toiletries. Just a small plastic box or two of meds like aspirin next to toothbrush and all. Or buy when you arrive

    Way too much stuff. I travel SEA multiple times a year, and unless you're there on business and need formal clothes, I get by with a 25l backpack, two shorts, three t-shirts, 5 undies, thongs, cap sunnies and that's about it (plus standard toiletries and electronics). I've been going there for 20 years and never worn long pants or a collared shirt or boots ever. If you're there longer than a couple of weeks you can buy more clothes there.

    • @TheAustralianMade
      @TheAustralianMade 5 лет назад

      Cool story bro. There's no such thing as too much stuff as long as you only bring what YOU need. It's all individual. For me I carry a 40L backpack in SE Asia and I always have extra room. If someone wants to carry a 70L backpack, that's their problem.
