After decades of traveling light on the world's hot roads in ninety countries, five circumnavigations, minimizing, testing and eliminating gear - finding ways to manage without, we now announce the launch our reports on:
Pack Ultra Compact/Light - No Bag if you like! Heat Relief - Beat the Heat with Science A few Safety Tips
Our vision is to make travel more convenient and safer. And hot places more enjoyable.
Learn how to Pack Ultra Compact/Light, Nano luggage, 1 oz, 30 g.
The approach: Pack the very basics, photo below, and maybe ad a few things more. Instead of packing a lot and then take out things until it becomes manageable.
A Californian went from suitcase to briefcase! Including an Ipad. Inspired by the reports? Absolutely!
Packing Light has been practiced by nomads for million of years. Ad Packing Ultra Compact to your repertoire!
With compact gear you can carry more or even all in the pockets. Photo below left: Minimalist toilet and medicine case.

New! Traveling with all in the pockets. No bag! Pushing that limit.
Learn How to Handle Heat. Feel some 16 °F, 8 °C, cooler than the average traveler!
I met a very experienced traveler, seven circumnavigations, in the tropics. He adjusted to the heat by staying in his room from 1 PM to 5 PM. If you instead adjust your clothing you may be able to be outdoors all day in comfort!
Something wrong with the outfit, below left, when it's really hot?
It is 108 °F, 42 °C, under a clear sky near the equator around midday - it doesn't get much worse.
The action time in comfort for this man, after leaving good AC, is a few minutes.
You probably know the standard advice: "Loose fitted light colored dress and a hat."
How many suggestions do you have regarding the dress and gear of the man to the right? Take them step by step, e.g. Light colored shirt. Short sleeve shirt...
We give you twenty suggestions for better temperature comfort in our reports!
If you have e.g. five suggestions you are missing a massive perceived temperature drop of some 12 °F, 6 °C. Which can mean the difference between extreme discomfort, or even death by heat stroke, and feeling OK or being perfectly comfortable.
Our suggestions, from our Master of Science in Applied Physics, are tested and sustainable techniques. It is not e.g. about some gadget you have to regenerate in a freezer now and then.
