How to dry yourself on a Walkabout.

Original PackTowl Towels often are not standard in budget lodgings. And they certainly are not supplied at campgrounds or the deserted beaches you've discovered. If you're carrying your world on your back, an ordinary towel simply does not work. It's heavy, especially when wet, and takes forever to dry. The solution: the Original PackTowl®. Versatile, very lightweight, compact, and extremely quick drying, the Original PackTowl® holds nine times its weight in water yet releases 90% of the liquid when wrung out. A must on adventure travels. Attached snap allows hanging from hook (or tree) for drying. Also perfect for gym lockers. Three sizes: large 20 x 36 inches 4.5 oz., medium 12 x 30 3 oz., or small 9 x 20 1.5 oz. Blue.

Personal PackTowl

Softer, Lighter, and More Expensive.

Travel Sewing Kit

First Law of Travel: Pack Light.

Whether your Walkabout is for two weeks or a year, all the experts, including us, say to pack light. In other words, take minimal clothing.

The saying goes that a gram of prevention is worth a kilo of cure, and the weight ratios are correct when you carry our Sew and Stow pocket-sized sewing kit. Includes various colored thread, needles, threader, replacement buttons, safety pin, all in tiny carrying case. Lightweight, and inexpensive.
