How do you squeeze everything you think you may need for the next nine months
of your life backpacking through hundreds of countries into one bloody backpack?

For him:

1. organize all your items into neat little stacks on the floor
2. shake your head in disbelief and take away half the stuff
3. repeat steps 1 and 2 until everything fits into the backpack
4. repeat steps 1 and 2 until you can actually lift the backpack 😉

   Target: 17 kg max

For her:

1. smuggle all the heavy stuff into your hubby’s backpack
2. leave behind most of your beloved shoes and clothes 😦

Do I really have to leave THESE too?

Will it all fit in here?
