Deuter Guide 35+

3 people recommended this item

Description

I’ve been a big fan of Deuter rucksacks since buying mine a few years ago. They are durable, comfortable, and, with so many different sizes to choose from, you are sure to find one to suit your needs perfectly. I have used my current pack day in, day out for over 2 years and it is yet to show signs of giving up on me. This, to me, is testament to a well made piece of gear that is guaranteed to serve its user admirably.

Teva Redpoint

3 people recommended this item

Description

Whilst on the road there will be many different situations that the backpacker will find themselves in, and there will be equally as many activities that they will be involved in. Whether you will be kayaking,hiking, exploring new towns and villages, or simply enduring extended periods on transport, the backpacker needs comfortable footwear that they can rely on. The beauty of shoes like these is that they are also multi-role, meaning less different types of footwear will be needed. This all helps keeping backpack size and weight to a minimum. Multi-functional shoes such as these are, in my opinion, a must for any potential globetrekker.

Power Whistle w/ LED Light, Compass and Thermometer

3 people recommended this item

Description

We all need a torch (for those power outages and even during stays in hostel dorms, for instance), and we all will find a compass useful at some point during our travels (for hiking or even successfully getting our bearings in a new city) – and to have them together in one, small item is a real boon. If this wasn’t enough, for it to also combine a whistle is a superb idea. Although most suited to outdoor adventure, this inexpensive, lightweight 3 in 1 gadget is a great little package. Highly recommended.

Gray (Duct) Tape - 2in. x 60 Yard Length

8 people recommended this item

Description

Every backpackers favourite, the Duct Tape. Althou it may sound like a strange recommendation, it is superb for making running repairs to your pack (if you don’t have a Deuter!) and useful in budget accommodation – for patching up holey mosquito nets if nothing else. Top Tip: Instead of lugging a whole roll around, peel off a few meters and wrap it around a pencil. You still have a writing implement yet also a lightweight
on-hand means of effecting repairs whilst on the road. Perfect.

Asus Bamboo Ecobook Computer

2 people recommended this item

Description

Since I began travelling with a laptop I now wonder why anyone would ever wish to travel without one. Ideal for the budding (or established) travel writer, or even those just wishing to spend less time cooped up in internet cafes around the world. Write your journal or emails when and where you want and then, after a quick upload/download at an internet café you can get back to hammock in no time. I’ve travelled with the same ASUS laptop for years, its taken a real battering in my pack yet it still serves me well. Bamboo? Well, why not?

The Elements of Style

5 people recommended this item

Description

For those wishing to give their emails or journals an extra bit ‘of on the road oomph’, this handy writing guide is a must. It’s pocket sized and packs a real punch. In the words of The Boston Globe: “No book in shorter space, with fewer words, will help any travel writer more than this persistent little volume.
