[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have unmedicated ADHD and anxiety... and am a minimalist packer! Packed a 6 week trip to Iceland and France into a carry-on hiking backpack once, since I knew I had laundry facilities at destination. The hardest thing to pack was hiking shoes - I wore them on the flight.

The difference is that you've never felt pressure to pack less. I hate lugging suitcases and bags, so I make the effort to fit everything into a carry-on.

Your packing will depend on whether you want to launder stuff at destination. Don't bring extras of anything. [/quote]

What backpack did you use? And did you use it for a hiking backpack? When we hike we want a waterbottle, raincoat, etc with us - I have a few collapsible backpacks - we use for day trips but have a trip coming up next year that needs a really good day backpack (the right shoulder pads, waistbelt combination). The backpack I normally travel with is NOT a backpack for hiking - while the hiking backpack is not a great travel backpack - I know subtle differences - I don't want two "backpacks" -but its where you can pack things (I like a good water bottle holder for a hiking, the size and location of compartments are different for different uses) [/quote]
