[quote=Anonymous]Buy clothing meant for serious backpacking, where every gram of weight counts and bulk is the enemy.  Product descriptions include words like packable, compressible, and lightweight.  Don't bring anything you think you should "just in case", unless it's a medication you can't obtain at your destinations.  Bring travel sizes of toiletries and other items, like a small hairbrush.  Pack a minimalist rain jacket/windshell in lieu of an umbrella, and use it as your outer layer when one is needed instead of anything bulkier.  Pack a minimalist mid-layer to use if you can anticipate chilly weather; don't pack a conventional fleece or sweater which is bulky and heavy.  Here's an example of an ideal packable mid-layer:  https://rab.equipment/us/women-s-alpha-flash-jacket?queryID=2e601644430841158f61049750d2ddf8&objectID=4407&indexName=rab_live_us_products

If you would ordinarily bring binoculars, choose a monocular instead.  Use you phone for photos, don't bring a separate camera.  [/quote]
