  • Electrician Ties (Nylon Cable Ties)
    - Rather than using flimsy locks on your baggage that can be opened with a bobby pin, why not use electrician ties. They are extremely tough. (Larger ones are even used instead of handcuffs by many police forces!) They can be purchased at home improvement stores, will hold the zippers shut and if they have been cut off you know that someone has riffled your bags. They are also available in various colors that will help in bag identification - while making it less possible for airport personnel to have spares in their pockets to replace any tie that they cut off.

  • Emergency Latrine
    - Pack a couple of freezer weight large zip-lock bags if you are going to be camping and some distance from the latrine. Fill bag half-full of sand. In the middle of the night you can use the bag to tinkle in, like a cat in a sand box. The next morning it can be disposed of.

  • Emergency Numbers
    - Paperclip inside the back of your passport an emergency contact list and include the telephone number of your insurance people, credit card issuer, and home numbers in case of emergency.

  • Forget the Wallet
    - Never carry a wallet with you on a trip. Your bank can give you free sleeves for your bank card/credit card/license - simply use one or two of these. Also, keep these items in your front pants pocket - or in a security pouch inside your pants.

  • Hanging Shoe Holder
    - If staying in the same location for the duration of your trip, for example a cruise, I pack a hanging shoe holder. The holder is the type that has rectangular shoebox size openings. It will Velcro around the closet rod. It works great for socks/hose, belts, underwear, and of course, shoes.
