My Travel Recommendations

These are items I use on all my trips.  The links are affiliate links, but these are items I use on almost every trip I take.  I will edit the list as I get new toys.

OutdoorMaster 50L Backpack https://amzn.to/3yzzdAh

The backpack is by far my favorite bag I have ever owned. Numerous pockets, extra connection points, and a built in rain cover. This is now my go to bag for weekend or multiple month long trips!

Columbia Convertible Pants  https://amzn.to/34kzg4M

These pants are my everyday wear. I usually do not need the legs, but they are wonderful shorts. I love the light (but sturdy) material, and the quick dry aspect is essential in the Philippines.


Compression Packing Cubes https://amzn.to/3vmXFm9

Cut your packing space dramatically. I was never a big fan of packing cubes, but the compression cube is great. I really like using them.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter https://amzn.to/2QRh5Rc

This microfilter will remove over 99% of bacteria & parasites. It also removes microplastics down to 1 micron. Filters up to 1,000 gallons. A good addition for any safety kit, or bug-out bag. (does not remove salt)

Safety Razor Case  https://amzn.to/2Ivtwva

When I fly I have to check my dopp kit because I prefer a safety razor. This is a great case to carry it in.  Keeps the razor protected, and you know you won’t grab the blade accidentally.  Even has storage for extra blades.

Dopp Bag  https://amzn.to/3fJNrpn

My dopp bag is always too full, but this has plenty of room and is sturdy. I’ve got to have my shower kit with me.
