Anonymous Guest	# Posted: 15 Mar 2004 22:52:14 the one thing i wouldn't travel without has got to be ....underwear (imagine yourself after a whole day of walking)
Mike Member Amsterdam	# Posted: 18 Mar 2004 22:30:48 For me that would be suncream: the one thing that prevents you from looking like a lobster after a day of walking in the burning sun! :D
Bobby24 Guest	# Posted: 18 Mar 2004 22:41:37 Hello all! Nice forum this is! My favourite travel item would be: the money belt!! I like it so much cause it allows you to carry (large amounts of) money on you totally inconspicuously, and you never have to worry about it... after all, where would you go without your pants??

Sam Member Europe	# Posted: 1 Apr 2004 08:33:59 Sunglasses, suncream... those can all be taken care of with proper clothing. So for me, the one thing I can't travel without, is a bag of clothes. Smuggling drugs into Jamaica is like smuggling SlimFast into Ethiopia.

Sam Member Europe	# Posted: 5 Apr 2004 11:19:02 James didn't have a (working) camera on a couple of his trips, the idiot ;) Smuggling drugs into Jamaica is like smuggling SlimFast into Ethiopia.

LordTurtle Member Nevada, USA	# Posted: 31 Jan 2005 04:06:10 Since I wouldn't have left without my clothes and basic gear, if there was one thing I'd absolutely replace if possible if lost on the road, besides money/passport/etc, would be my Swiss Army Knife-Super Tinker. I carry one even at home everywhere I go. Awesome gadgets!!! Then my sunglasses.....
stringboy Member Oxford, UK	# Posted: 1 Feb 2005 12:29:40 a must pur-chase one of these army knives from switzerland. seem rather goood. cannot do without probably super dooper expedition plus mosquito spray and my mini iron. can't go wandering into the unknown in a creased shirt can i? They'll talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual...and they're scared.
caveman Member Belgium	# Posted: 21 Feb 2005 22:00:12 Safety first: Condoms ;) But they're usefull too!!! it holds a bucket of water!! No, always have them with me, but never use them... Ah, won't go without my mascot: a yellow plastic duck!! Stands for all the waterfun I had, Traverses of cold rivers in wintertime, saving a 8 year old kid on wild river after his canoo turned over, and nude bathing at full moon,... With my duck I feel complete!!! :p It's better to have lived one day as a Tiger than thousand as a sheep.

LordTurtle Member Nevada, USA	# Posted: 4 Feb 2005 05:36:19 P.S. Swiss Army Knives, the "Real" ones are either manufactured by Victorinox or Wenger. I own models from both companies, and the quality is about the same, though like JameZ, I favor Victorinox. They can be found for purchase at many of the travel gear websites, not to mention most places where camping gear is sold, and Walmart & Target. I own lots of knives in many different styles, and as I said earlier, I would not go anywhere without one. (Right next to the Condoms, of course.) I recently bought 7 Wenger Swiss Army Knives at Target on a store error price reduction-from 32.99 & 36.99 to $5.97. I look for mismarked and sale items everywhere_My NorthFace tent was another mismark at a outdoor gear store...only 29.99, instead of 299.99 " Eyes always alert, Ears listening, mouth shut, the brave adventurer entered the catacombs....."
