What comfort item do you still carry even when backpack space is tight?
I’ve spent the last three years getting my setup down to 28L. My general rule has been that everything needs to be either very light or useful for more than one thing.
Then I spent a humid month in the Balkans and finally gave in on the hair dryer.
Air drying usually works for me, but there were days when my hair stayed damp for hours so finally I ended up buying a laifen locally. It dries my hair much faster than air drying and does not add much weight, but the shape is annoying. It does not fold, fits badly around packing cubes and takes up more room than I expected.
I wrap it in my buff instead of carrying a separate case, which helps a little. Still, every time I pack it, I question whether the convenience is worth the space. But for now I’m keeping it because I actually use it.
What bulky item has earned a permanent place in your setup even though it makes packing harder?
