First…pack towels. http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/camp-towels/category Glorious inventions. These towels back very flat. That is the first bonus. When packing to leave on this trip, space was at a premium. I had been informed that it would be important to bring towels of my own or acquire them here in Germany. Up stepped my pack towels. They had been of wonderful help while I was in Boy Scouts (for the same reason – space. The second bonus is that they dry very quickly, usually despite the temperature. While this is not as important in the university setting in which I am currently, it was both important and useful when I took them with me while travelling in Europe three years ago and six years ago. The third bonus is that these towels come with a built in hanging strap that snaps closed for hanging them over things like a towel rod, etc. And they are helpful for this very reason. I personally have two of these towels. One is hand towel size and the other is bath towel size. Wonderful investments, both of them.
For second…Brita Bottles. http://www.brita.com/products/filtering-bottle/brita-bottle/ These reusable water bottles contain a Brita filter that improves the taste of tap water and assists in cleansing the water of bad odors and tastes, such as chlorine. Not only have these been wonderful to carry around (replacing the need for purchasing better-than-tap-water-tasting bottled water, but better tasting water will improve the taste of tea., if one is in the process of making that while travelling or even on the go where filtered water is not available. Another great investment, for travelling or on the go anywhere.
