Mine is a small bottle of liquid bandage. It stays in my toiletries, can go through that, and is superior to most bandages!
Whenever I visit new cities I always bring an extra backpack that can either fold nicely or one of those disposable backpacks from a lighter material. Just found that it’s best to use it instead of my regular backpack in case it gets stolen. I put only the bear neccesities such as a bottle of water and a sweater and I’m ready to go.
Universal diffuser for hotel hair dryer.
Travel router. I can plug it in to a router (if available) and instantly have a network all my devices connect to automatically that can either connect to a commercial VPN or my home VPN. Works to rebroadcast a WiFi network as well. If you have to pay for WiFi, you can pay for one device and clone the MAC onto the router and rebroadcast a signal all your devices can use. Works on planes, hotels, you name it. I have a gl.inet but there are a few.
My proudest script kiddy achievement was at hotel that had paid WiFi and a free tier. I clicked the free tier but it wasn’t very good and there was no way to upgrade to paid, even after changing MAC and deleting cookies etc. I found a piece of gym equipment that used internet in the hotel gym, cloned its MAC address onto the device, unplugged the gym equipment and boom I had full speed internet as it was on the network’s whitelist with no throttle.
Sketchbook. On work trips, I always finish one drawing every night as a way to get out of a work headspace.
I always make sure I bring a nice towel on my carry on. We got some high quality cotton Turkish towels that double as blankets when traveling. Not sure if it’s standard outside the hitchhikers guide.
You sound like one hoopy frood
A roll of ‘for rectal use only’ stickers.
I carry a box of assorted googly eyes. I’ll see you out there, fam.
Liquid bandages?
Yeah, they’re like bandages, only liquid.
I have a weed grinder in my wallet. It’s one of those card-sized, flat, cheese-grater ones.
Coffee making gear, so hand grinder, tiny scales, and either a tricked out picopresso or an aeropress or my wave dripper. I pick based on what sort of coffee beans I am expecting to be able to pick up where I go.
I use a foldable cone, and a dual voltage kettle. I’m thinking of adding a vial of electrolytes and minerals to add to distilled water. Many places I travel have absolutely terrible water, and water makes a big difference!
Get yourself a small hotplate and a moka pot if you like thick coffee. Add a milk frother and your choice of milk (I like oat milk in coffee), and sweeten with brown sugar and top with cinnamon.
It is heaven.
My regular electric toothbrush instead of a travel one. I have found its just easier to just throw my toothbrush in a bag morning of then to deal with having a 2nd one for travel which is often disgusting
Amongst other things, I always carry some zip ties. They weigh nothing, yet come in handy in so many ways.
Ah yes, zip ties. I also carry them every day. Along with plastic sheeting, a machete, a shovel, and a bottle of moonshine.
you like Huey Lewis and the News?
Gotta have your TOOLS
Nothing sus about that
Does this smell like chlorof…
I’ve been looking for a portable humidifier. Hotel rooms are so dry!
I dunno, I’ve stayed in a few moist ones.
I also bring liquid bandaid most places, it really is superior but you have to wait for the bleeding to (mostly) stop first
My travel kit includes way too many nails, mousetraps, an upholstery stapler, power drill, syringes/needles, and first aid stuff. Sideshow performer so it’s just par for the course. I also use the needles for medication.
What
Body glide blister balm, and laundry wash sheets (so much tidier than washing powder!).
Most of my other stuff seems standard to me…
Laundry wash sheets are a good idea
Shoe horn, thermoplastic.
A shoe horn is a good idea. What’s thermoplastic?
Thermoplastic usually starts as small pellets that you can heat up in boiling water and mold into shapes to repair things. Once cooled, it’s pretty strong. I just have a blob of it in my toiletry bag to fix whatever breaks.
Cool!
What’s thermoplastic?
Hot Glue
Ignore the thermo part of the word.
