Clear Liquids Zippered Bags
It may be redundant, but we like using these sturdy zippered clear bags to store the flimsy clear 2 quart ziplock plastic bag that you are required to use going through airport security. Ignore the "TSA" approved comment. These do not replace the disposable bags. However, these have a little more structure in Judy's backpack and they're easier to take in and out. They also stand upright on a bathroom counter when you're settled, especially if you don't need to take everything out of them when you arrive at your destination. GET THIS GEAR
Steripod Razor Protector
This Steripod razor protector is a nice clip to cover your razor blade. Works great to cover Judy's Gillette Venus (regular sized or mini handled version—both blades are the same). GET THIS GEAR
Gillette Venus Mini (Extra Smooth)
Judy swapped to this tiny handled Venus razor. It's got the exact same blade as its full-sized sister, but takes up less room. The shorter handle takes a little getting used to, but it's got a ribbed handle that feels secure in your hand. GET THIS GEAR
Dental Kit
Our teeth tend to build plaque easily and this 6-pack dental tools set is perfect to remove tartar easily in between dentist appointments. Everything is made from smooth stainless steel metal and is dishwasher safe. GET THIS GEAR
Makeup Eraser
Let go of your skepticism and give this "miracle" makeup eraser a try! It's a premium, patented, polyester cloth made up of millions of tiny hair-like fibers that work together to create a "suction" for all dirt, makeup, and oil in your pores. So much more sustainable than disposable wipes. Reusable and machine washer safe. GET THIS GEAR
Kitch Rice Protein Bar Shampoo & Conditioner
This bar shampoo and conditioner turned Judy into a superfan of bar hair products. If you've used one that you didn't like, try this one instead. Kevin's got an order of their purple shampoo in his Amazon cart to keep his silver fox hair from yellowing. Judy's particularly fond of Kitsch's rice water protein bar and shampoos because they have actually helped her hair to grow! It strengthens hair and prevents breakage. Impressive! GET THIS GEAR
Humangear GoToob Refillable Silicone Travel Bottle
These tubes have a handy locking system, they open wide for filling, and have an inner cap that squirts so you have control of the amount of product you're dispensing. They clean up easily and come in several colors so you can distinguish one item from the other. I have leave-in conditioner in mine, but I've used them for a variety of different liquids. They hold a full 3.4 oz (100 ml), which is the acceptable amount for airlines. GET THIS GEAR
LuminAID Collapsible Lantern
This device is a solar powered phone charger, expandable camping lantern, and backup battery all in one. At just 12.5 oz, this must-have emergency essential is powerful but doesn't weigh down your pack. Expands into a 6" cube with its unique Twist-to-Inflate design and packs down to 1" thick. GET THIS GEAR
Protective Masks (KN95)
These face masks filter 95% of particles in the air. They're comfortable and soft for long days of wear. The pliable design forms to the face with elastic ear loops and a nose clip. Wear a fresh mask every day without the hassle of doing laundry. GET THIS GEAR
Fireproof Document Case
This fire-safe document case safely holds your critical documents while traveling. It gives us real peace of mind that our most sensitive documents are protected. Sturdy with zipper and heavy-duty velcro keeps your paperwork from slipping out. GET THIS GEAR
OXO Vegetable Peeler
While much of the nutrients in the outer skin of produce, sometimes you just need to peel a carrot that you can't scrub clean well enough or remove a tough cucumber skin or shave the fibrous parts of an artichoke or celery. Judy uses ours on occasion for shredding carrots and hard cheeses like Parmesan. It takes up barely any space in our case, and it comes with a blade shield. GET THIS GEAR
Kitchen Food Scale
This portable food scale is light, accurate, and rechargeable. Pressing M Button easily switches between various units: g, oz, lb, tl, ct, ozt, dwt, gn, ml. It's great when your hotel or Airbnb kitchen doesn't have dry or liquid measuring utensils. Its Tare Function allows you to zero out items already in your measuring bowl or the weight of the container. GET THIS GEAR
Apron (Water/Oil/Stain Resistant)
Keep your limited travel wardrobe clean and safe from grease and food stains by wearing this durable, generously sized apron with pockets! It has an adjustable neck strap and long waist ties so it fits men and women big and small. GET THIS GEAR
PackTowl Washcloth/Dishcloth
Do you hate going into a restroom and finding there are no towels or hand dryers? It also seems like no Airbnb and very few hotels provide washcloths anymore. We carry one of these washcloths/dishcloths to fill in the gaps. It works as a sweat towel when you're touring hot places and need to wipe your brow. GET THIS GEAR
PackTowl Hand/Dish Towel
Airbnbs often will leave only a bath towel and maybe a dish towel, but often either a hand towel or a dish towel is left out. PackTowls store in their own case and fold up to almost nothing. They dry quickly and are convenient and take up almost no space in our packs. We use a print so it stands out from any other towels we have been given, but there's a selection to choose from. GET THIS GEAR
Sony FX30 Cinema Camera
This is our main camera for all our footage that's not recorded with our DJI OSMO Pocket 3 or iPhones. It's the perfect mix of durability and flexibility when we want to capture cinema-quality video. It’s typically paired with a Sony 11mm lens. GET THIS GEAR
Sony E 11mm f1.8 Lens
This is a prime lens for our Sony FX30 camera that is nice and wide to allow us to both be in the frame when we are talking to you. GET THIS GEAR
BeeGreen Reusable Grocery Bags
This set of six reusable BeeGreen shopping totes are heavyweight and can carry up to 50 pounds. We like that the handles are long enough to go over our shoulders and that they're washable. They have a built-in pocket so they store inside themselves neatly. We carry two with us, so gift the extras if you are full-time travelers like us. GET THIS GEAR
MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
This "magic" microfiber material absorbs and removes dust, oil, smudges, fingerprints, and dirt from our eyeglasses and our other tech. They clean completely and leave no scratches, streaks, marks, or lint. Works great on LCD TV screens, smart phones and other touch screens, camera lenses and filters, etc. Made from extremely soft, high-quality microfiber. We haven't found anything better that cleans our glasses or tech and leaves them crystal clear. GET THIS GEAR
Matador Bar Soap/Shampoo Holder
Keep your bar soap and shampoo dry using this FlatPak™ Soap Bar Case from Matador. Soap bars dry through the material, so they never get mushy. Put soap bar inside the bag, ensuring excess water does not get trapped inside. Roll the rolltop three times or more, bend and buckle the ends of the buckle together. Soap bar will dry through the bag. GET THIS GEAR
