Links to some related sites I liked
Clark Wissler. A fantastic article about the luggage of nomads. When we are traveling we are "nomads". Excerpts: Man alone of all the creatures of the world carries baggage. The aboriginal natives... carry the least. ...champion light travelers. no need for packing reserve clothing. baggage load carried....12 pounds plus the baby ..by an Australian woman.
A very, very extensive site with, I say, a very sensible packing list considering it is not aimed a traveling light. Also loads of useful links.
Doug Dyment, a very good site. The Art and Science of Traveling Light. Listed advantages: Security Economy, Mobility and Serenity.
Very good, lots of experience behind it and lots of sound advice - I have little to add except when it comes to travel ultra compact. Lists e g good reasons for traveling light. Also have: Avoiding theft.
Ray Jardine. Book: Trail Life. Creative thinking! Moving this art forward! Very inspiring for some body into the related field of Ultra Compact Travel.
Packing & Traveling Light Recommendations
By Mark Veber. A nice and extensive travel light site. Many links. List advantages of traveling light - but he doesn't suggest carrying all in the trouser pockets.

"In my wilder moments I dream of a 'no bag' future where I travel wearing everything including all my technology in a fly fishing style jacket including all my extra clothing neatly hidden inside my top coat. The basis being that the airlines measure and weigh bags but not people. But that is something for the future."
I think the future is here now. If not, I think my "Unorthodox way of reducing volume of gear like camera, phone, computers etc." can make the difference.

"Carrying permanently about his body more than 1,000 useful objects." No bag! Sure a colleague!
