Now I can be an over packer at best. Pained legs and hips while wandering through Glasgow and Berlin were lessons disguised as self punishment. So I thought I'd take the opportunity to minimalism my bag and make sure I don't over do it for once.

I used to look at lists and I do love them but I realized I wasn't making lists of my own. Making them helps me see what I've chosen and cut down on it. Additionally I'm headed to Glasgow, then Stirling...
So here is a quick and easy list for a 3 day trip. If you're a dude you can scratch the bra... or keep it, its good to have the holders while hiking!
In the end I want to save room and my back
Bag of choice
Rucksack - 62ltr Arcteryx named Bruce
Smaller day bag - it shrinks to the size of my fist! For day trips!
Wallet
In The Rucksack
1 Jean - the early outdoor walking pant, and so stylish!
3 shirts
1 tank top
1 Bra
4 pairs of Socks - 2 Hiking, 2 normal
Belt - Ma jeans sag
1 Thermal top
1 Pyjama pant
Vest - The most versatile thing.
Sweater
Jacket - Water resistant
Buff
Scarf
Gloves - Never forget gloves. Cold hands while taking pictures is no fun!
6 underpants - Its 3 nights, but you can never over pack on the knickers.
Walking Shoes - I have a pair of grey and purple merrells
Ipod
Phone
Camera + Charger - A must not forget!!!
Toiletry Bag
Tooth brush
Tooth paste
Shampoo
Conditioner
Razor
Mouth guard
Face cream
Deodorant
Lip Chap
Ibuprofen
Hair Brush
Towel - Not all hostels provide them and I have one of those quick dry ones.
You want your list to be light, flexible and really, for short trips, you don't need to go shopping for the latest travel-tech if you don't have to. It'll give you more money for your trip in the end. And this above might seem like a lot but really, half it I'll be wearing and the rest will stay in the bag.
The only thing it is ever okay to over pack on is underpants. - Kelsey's words of wisdom
