 | Soap Up

| Instead of shower gel and soap, get a squeezy bottle of cheap generic facewash (e.g. a supermarket's own brand) and use it for all soapy stuff requirements. It'll save you weight and bulk. |
| Easy Access

| Pack the items you are going to be using daily, e.g. your washkit, in the top pocket of your backpack, along with any items that you might not necessarily use frequently but will need instant access to when the time comes - e.g. a torch. Being able to quickly lay your hands on a torch in a dark dorm room rather than having to rummage noisily through your pack for one will certainly be appreciated by your sleeping dormmates! |
| Take the cube with you
Posted on 28th November 2006 by rtwtips |
| |
| Say goodbye to plastic bags! Consider getting a packing cube (or two) for your clothes. The Eagle Creek 2-Sided Packing Cube is ideal - use the mesh side to store clean clothes, and the waterproof side for your wet/dirty ones, keeping them well and truly separate. |
| Wash Your Hands With It
Posted on 28th November 2006 by rtwtips |
| |
| Consider bringing a small bottle of dry hand wash. Marvellous alcohol-based stuff, it enables you to clean your hands without requiring water - very handy for some of the more unpleasant toilet stops on your journey (see: China). |
| Travel-Size Me

| |
| Avoid bringing that Mega Jumbo Size bottle of shampoo or shower gel - go for the smallest you can get (there are often special 'travel sizes' available), and simply buy more frequently on the way round. |
