5 multi -purpose products that help you to pack easily

5 multi -purpose products that help you to pack easily

I have a rule at Restaurants: if you offer two clearly different kitchens, I don't go to eat there. Think of Thai restaurants that make pizza or British gastropubs that offer Indian curry. Most of the time, these multi -purpose restaurants do a bad thing instead of making a kitchen well, two kitchens are bad and are simply best avoided.

For a long time I applied the same philosophy on multi -purpose products. But then I started packing for our trip.

A weight of 100 pounds is very nice until you decide to travel with your backpack for a year. 1 mosquito net, 1 sleeping bag, 1 matt and it is too heavy.

It is a predicament with which many travelers are confronted. When you go on a long -term trip, every centimeter of space counts. In order to help future travelers, we have put together a list of popular multi -purpose products that are ideal for the trip.

1. Dr. Bronner's multi -purpose soap

Usually I would not be enthusiastic about a shampoo that is strong enough to wipe floors and rinse dishes, but the multi -purpose soap by Dr. Bronner is not quite normal. It is fairly traded, organic and vegan, without synthetic washing or preservatives. It is gentle enough to wash your body, face and hair, but strong enough to wash your clothes and dishes.

It requires different concentrations for different applications. So if you prefer a more factual solution, you decide instead for the all -purpose soap of Life Venture. This allows skin, hair, food and clothing to be washed. It is biodegradable, pH-neutral and durable. A small drop is usually sufficient.

2. Ceptic's travel adapter and USB charger

With over 1,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, the travel adapter from Ceptics is a clear favorite among frequent travelers. It works in over 150 countries, so that you no longer have to carry numerous adapters on long trips abroad.

The various components glide in and from the compact, self -contained unit, which means that they do not lose any important parts. It also serves as a USB charger, ideal for tablets and smartphones.

3. Blue Ridge Camping hammock

The Blue Ridge Camping Hängat has been named the world's best camping hammat by Outside Magazine and is perfect for outdoor adventurers. The product was developed for difficult climate zones and terrain and can be used as a hammock or bivouac tent or on the ground as a traditional tent.

It remains tight, which eliminates the "cocoon" effect, and is delivered with a removable rain protection and a built-in network for a dry, insect-free night's sleep.

The system shrinks to 22 inches x 6 inches and weighs 1.9 kg (£ 4.25), but has a weight capacity of 113 kg (250 pounds) and a decent interior (86 inch x 42 inches). With over 50 five-star ratings on Amazon and a one-year guarantee, many camper will make it happy.

4. North Face daily backpack & avalanche safety system

I am not a mountaineer in the truest sense of the word (if you need to know, I had problems with Cotopaxi after 10 minutes), but the Avalanche North Face Patrol 24 ABS is perfect for Peter, which climbs solo in Norway in Norway.

The daily backpack also serves as a sophisticated avalanche security system. If you get into one slide, simply pull on a handle on the left shoulder strap that triggers two large -volume airbags. They keep them on slip -on by increasing the buoyancy and can improve the view for rescuers. It is not cheap with over $ 1,000, but was able to save-and--saved in avalanches. In fact, North Face has a success rate of 95 % in real use.

5. Victorinox Swiss pocket knife

Well, we couldn't have a multi-purpose product list without listing the Swiss pocket knife, right?

Personally, I love my Swiss pocket knife (blue above), but those who are looking for ultimate space -saving functionality may want to choose a Swisscard instead.

The award -winning Swisscard packs several tools in a loan -sized design that fits in your wallet. Our favorite is supplied with a 2 mm screwdriver, a emergency blade, scissors, a stainless steel pen, a pressure ballpoint pen, tweezers, a toothpick and a nail file.

Bonus: Baubax jacket

The Baubax jacket was reported in the New York Times, the Outside Magazine, The Guardian and many, many others. Provided on Kickstarter as the best travel jacket in the world, it has 15 functions, including a neck pillow, an eye mask, headphone holder and a drink bag.

We haven't tried it yet, so we cannot recommend it first hand, but it definitely looks useful. Available in four different styles-hoodie, blazer, windbreaker and bomber-the jacket will surely become a must-have for travelers if it has what it promises.
