Our 7 kg packing list after two years on the road

Everything fits in a 28-litre pack each, which means no checked luggage and no waiting at belts.

Kept: merino tee and long-sleeve, light rain shell, one pair of trail runners, sandals, travel towel, drying line, a single 65 W charger with two cables.

Dropped: the second pair of jeans, a camera we never used, a power bank heavier than a book.

Bought twice: earplugs and a small padlock. Always.
