Walk through your typical preferred travel day when traveling to build a checklist.

“I’m going to be on a plane for 14 hours,”

“I need to get ready for bed at night,”

“I am going to walk through the city”

or “I am doing a wilderness hike.”

I only say that because everyone’s checklist is very different and I think it can be too easy to overpack.



>it can be too easy to overpack

I think there are items that have a good size/weight to utility if you do end up needing them in a place where you can't just run to a store. But you also need to be careful not to fall into a "just one more thing" trap because it occurs to you something might be useful or even was useful in a very specific set of circumstances.
