In the 'weight is the enemy' section, here are some tips on how to save a few hundred grams. For example, for your toiletries: a simple plastic bag with a zip or a small plastic box to avoid accidental crushing.
- Hotel-size soap is generally enough for a week.
- A tube of toothpaste 3/4 full will do the trick
- Shaving foam: a small sample can
- A small microfibre towel
- A small bottle of shampoo
- A travel toothbrush
Pharmacy: in addition to your personal medicines, bring :
- Elastoplast or hook-and-loop tape
- "second skin" tape to protect against blisters, such as Compeed
- A small pair of scissors, thread and needle
- A small tube of sun cream and lip balm
Now all you have to do is apply this recipe to your entire bag!
