我的 40 升背包旅行指南

I have lived as a nomad for the last nine years, taking 360 flights travelling over 1.5 million kilometers (assuming flight paths are straight, ignoring layovers) during that time. During this time, I've considerably optimized the luggage I carry along with me: from a 60-liter shoulder bag with a separate laptop bag, to a 60-liter shoulder bag that can contain the laptop bag, and now to a 40-liter bag that can contain the laptop bag along with all the supplies I need to live my life.

The purpose of this post will be to go through the contents, as well as some of the tips that I've learned for how you too can optimize your travel life and never have to wait at a luggage counter again. There is no obligation to follow this guide in its entirety; if you have important needs that differ from mine, you can still get a lot of the benefits by going a hybrid route, and I will talk about these options too.

This guide is focused on my own experiences.

在过去的九年里，我一直过着背包客的生活，在此期间我乘坐了360次航班，飞行里程超过150万公里（假设飞行路线是直线，忽略中途停留）。在这段时间里，我对随身携带的行李进行了相当大的优化：从一个60升的双肩包和一个独立的笔记本电脑包，到一个可以装笔记本电脑包的60升双肩包，再到现在一个可以装笔记本电脑包和我生活所需的所有用品的40升背包。

这篇文章的目的是介绍我的背包，以及我学到的一些技巧，帮助你优化你的旅行生活，不必再在行李柜台前等待。你不需要完全遵循这份指南；如果你有与我不同的重要需求，你也可以多准备几件行李，我也会讨论这些选择。

本指南主要以我自己的经验为主。

 As a point of high-level organization, notice the bag-inside-a-bag structure. I have a T-shirt bag, an underwear bag, a sock bag, a toiletries bag, a dirty-laundry bag, a medicine bag, a laptop bag, and various small bags inside the inner compartment of my backpack, which all fit into a 40-liter Hynes Eagle backpack. This structure makes it easy to keep things organized.

第一个关键点是，请注意“袋中袋”的结构。我有一个T恤包、一个内衣包、一个袜子包、一个洗漱用品包、一个脏衣服包、一个药包、一个笔记本电脑包，以及我的背包内仓里的各种小口袋，这些包都可以放入一个40升的海恩斯鹰（Hynes Eagle）背包。这种结构使让一切保持井井有条。

It's like frugality, but for cm³ instead of dollars

The general principle that you are trying to follow is that you're trying to stay within a "budget" while still making sure you have everything that you need - much like normal financial planning of the type that almost everyone, with the important exception of crypto participants during bull runs, is used to dealing with. A key difference here is that instead of optimizing for dollars, you're optimizing for cubic centimeters. Of course, none of the things that I recommend here are going to be particularly hard on your dollars either, but minimizing cm3 is the primary objective.

What do I mean by this? Well, I mean getting items like this:

这就像节俭一样，不过是为了cm³而不是钱

总的原则就是你要努力保持在“预算”范围内，同时确保你拥有你所需要的一切——这很像一般的财务规划，几乎每个人都对此习以为常，当然，牛市期间的加密货币参与者除外。这里的一个关键区别是，你不是在节省美元，而是在节省立方厘米。当然，我在这里推荐的东西没有那种昂贵到让你难以承受的，但节约空间是首要目标。

这是什么意思呢？请看以下“装备”：

 

Electric shaver. About 5cm long and 2.5cm wide at the top. No charger or handle is required: it's USBC pluggable, your phone is the charger and handle. 

电动剃须刀。长约5厘米，顶部宽2.5厘米。不需要充电器或手柄：它是USBC接口，你的手机就是电源。

 And this: 

Charger for mobile phone and laptop (can charge both at the same time)! About 5x5x2.5 cm.

还有这个：

手机和笔记本电脑的充电器（可同时为二者充电）! 大约5x5x2.5厘米。

And there's more. Electric toothbrushes are normally known for being wide and bulky. But they don't have to be! Here is an electric toothbrush that is rechargeable, USBC-friendly (so no extra charging equipment required), only slightly wider than a regula
