You are looking at my belongings for the next 3 years.  This all fits into a 50 liter backpack and weighs around 25 pounds.  I am carrying with me quite a few extra items that wouldn’t normally be included in such a minimalist journey such as my circus toys, but I am certain all the hours of practice will pay off in the long run.  This will be a quick post basically just showing what I am taking to help others possibly plan what they will take and perhaps I will adjust a few items depending on how they work over the long run.  My journey will mainly be in spring summer and fall weathers with no real excursions into winter time.  I am bringing a jacket for cool nights, but nothing for sustaining a cold winter environment.  I know there is a movement out there amongst people who own homes to reduce their possessions down to 100 items.  I wonder how I stack up.

I have limited clothes with me as many people might see, but I have seen people traveling with exactly 2 sets of clothes. While I am not ready to trim down that slim yet, all the clothes I have with me I love to wear. If it isnt something i can just throw on and love to be in everyday it doesnt come with me. Everything but the few cotton items are quick dry lightweight and/or wool which keeps smell virtually absent and keeps your temperature regulated very well. I will be in the same type of look everyday and that is fine with me. If i need something else i will buy it and figure it out. I have roughly been wearing this set of clothes for the last 3 months for everyday wear, work on the farm and my travels to Canada. So far i have only come to love and really enjoy each piece well and really surprised how much I use the yoga pants which I was unsure of at first. I know that all I really need is a toothbrush, set of clothes, cash and my passport and the rest will work itself out. Thankfully the rest of the stuff I am bringing all serves my learning experiences and I hope I use all of it very often. I hope i can encourage everyone to live with a little less and clean out your closets! Living with less stuff takes such a burden off the mind and I have really been looking forward to just having my backpack so the decisions are less and my mind is free to enjoy life. Happy Travels
