AVFC_Hitz Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 This follows on from a newspaper article I read where some people took record players, kettles and even routers with them on holidays. I won't go without my Chromecast, my extension plug cube and...a sink plug. What do you take apart from your clothes and toiletries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted August 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2022 After the Estonia disaster I used to pack a hammer when going on a cruise. Being able to smash a window out seamed logical to teenage me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand baggage only, change of clothes, wash kit, few medical emergency bits, phone and charger, iPad and that’s pretty much it. Oh and a book. And spare glasses and sunnies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Its cos I've bought and kept a load of stuff at my mom's house in England so I can pretty much travel there with no bag at all and then if work send me somewhere for even 2 days they'll get me a 23kg bag checked in so even if I do travel with hand luggage from say frankfurt with the automatic check in desk I put my hand luggage under and walk round the airport bag free, there's just something weirdly nice and stress free about it Probably should add passport to the list of things I take though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 My Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. Goes with me on every holiday and probably only ever used it once or maybe twice? It’s a comfort blanket thing I reckon. Had one as a kid and now own a couple of newer ones (Huntsman) and (Ranger). I just like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Over the years I've bought every little travel 'hack' product. They get used once and to be honest when you're going through security you stuff the passport in your back pocket and not back in the 5in1 travel pouch.
