Thanks for sharing these valuable insights. Some bloggers always review products only in the positive light or only talk about the good, but you guys dig in and debunk some of the unworthy travel gear, leaving us readers clear of what to avoid. My friends could use this list when they come over to visit me at my apartment in Stockholm next year!

Had a look and you can still buy the planesheets, some people really worry about the strangest things, surely if you buy this you must have trouble leaving the house because off all those pesky germs! John Forex Mentor

Have to agree with Sami, the sarong is probably the best item I ever take travelling, I can use it as a towel, bed cover and have even been know to wear it in the odd temple. Never take a laptop or fancy camera to much stress worrying about them.

Ditto my love for ExOfficio (another Seattle-area company) and I DO like VIA (uh, another Seattle company!). I’m not a Starbucks fan but I can get 2-3 uses out of a VIA packet because I water it down so much, bringing the cost to .30 – .50/packet.

The steripen was a great idea, I too have tested it, and it is incredible how it works. Generally though, if I’m travelling, I don’t take anything other than passport, a little cash, 2 credit/debit cards and two changes of clothing. No phones, no laptop, no camera…

That said, my wife always makes sure she uses up my baggage allowance!
