[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1438320, member: 19178"] Oh! That reminds me! In one of Peter Egan's books, he and a few buddies were drinking beer around a campfire, discussing tricks for packing for an extended motorcycle trip. After reading this, I have even used this trick for vacations with my brothers, like fishing trips, that sort of thing. Here it is, and it is sheer genius. During the course of a year, you will have several items of clothing that will reach its normal lifespan. In other words, they are ready to be thrown out or turned into rags. Not so fast. Old undies, socks, and t-shirts can be saved for your motorcycle trips. You wear the item(s) for one day, then, at the end of the day, you throw them in the garbage can or the campfire (Note of caution: Don't cook hot dogs or make smores over those particular fires). As your trip goes on, you have MORE room in your luggage, not less. Utter brilliance. Obviously, you will want to bring some decent clothing along too, and lightweight stuff that can be rinsed in a sink and dry overnight are great too. But if you're going on a trip with a bunch of semi-feral, barely housebroken clowns like I do, they will not notice your shabby clothing. Thanks to Peter Egan for this great tip. [/QUOTE]
