    I remain in the Windows world. I used to get paid to develop programs for Windows and not for Mac OS. My laptop has a keyboard that flips over, so a stand that relies upon the hinge to the screen would not work. My Windows 10 tablet has a separate keyboard. There is a matching keyboard but I can use any other. The tablet is smaller, lighter, with smaller power supply but the laptop has a touch pad. Both work with the same active pens. For the 8" screen I needed a docking station for the ports but not for the laptop. So kit either out ended up the same weight and volume but packed differently.

    From my hotel room I was able to login to my computer back home, transfer the photographs and video clips to it for back up, editing and posting a blog online.

    I've started to travel with reversible shirts and hoodies, especially from Faherty Brand. They are not Merino, but especially for an overshirt or hoodie it's fine and you get two for one!

    As an alternative to Merino, I've started to use bamboo blends, especially for socks and underwear. They are cheaper, more hard-wearing, and still have similar and antimicrobial properties.

    I know merino wool specifically has a lot of accolades for travel and durability, but providing comparable alternatives with same or similar properties for those allergic would be great too. Great video!

    Very nice video and good tips but we can't call this a minimalist list since a lot of those things are not essential at all.

    Do videos where you use suitcases. Backpacks and sling bags aren't viable in most civilized countries or I should say needed. I used to be a one bag traveler, but realized it hindered me in the long-term and cost me more money.

    Does anyone else prefer inner jacket pockets to smaller bags? I don’t find myself using a bag as often as I used to —apart from when bigger bags are necessary. But I do wish there was a convertible jacket that you can use as a bag or something else IF you feel hot. (I’m usually wearing a jacket even on super hot days, but it’s be good to have the option.) I would rather have just a jacket OR just a bag, but I can’t do without a jacket because I get cold easily.
