Solid shampoo, conditioner bars, and toothpaste tablets resist leaks, last longer, and breeze through security. They’re lighter and often packaged in tins or paper. If you’ve tried a great bar, drop the brand-free recipe or routine in the comments.
Clothes That Work Harder With Less

A repairable, right-sized main bag
Pick a carry-on you can mend: replaceable wheels, strong zippers, and a timeless shell. Smaller bags naturally limit overpacking. If you downsized recently, tell us what you stopped bringing and whether your travels felt freer afterward.
Packing cubes from recycled fibers
Lightweight cubes tame chaos and help you track laundry without plastic bags. Choose recycled or undyed materials to lower footprints. Do you roll or fold inside cubes? Share your method and how it affects wrinkles and quick unpacking.
Pack one quality adapter and a short multi-USB cable to reduce duplicates. Coil cords with reusable ties instead of plastic bags. What’s your leanest tech kit that still covers work and photos? Post your list to inspire fellow travelers.
Tech Essentials, Sustainably Packed
Choose a right-sized power bank you actually empty and recharge. Charge during transit and overnight to avoid emergency outlets. If you’ve found solar helpful on treks, share conditions where it shines and where a wall plug remains wiser.
