  1. Thanks a ton! I’ve a traveler and I’d keep forgetting atleast one thing in my backpack until I made a note of things I need after the last time I forgot.
    I’ve favorited your post so that I can come back here in time for my next travel..
    Thanks!

  2. Fantastic…I too would like to have that cooktop and Swiss army knife. Any recommendations as to where I can get that. … Do share this with our readers too. I

    1. Cooktop are readily available across all major e retail sites. Just buy the one who is selling at the cheapest. The one that I have is NOVA TC1550 but similar looking available with other brand names also. For Swiss Army Knife buy the original one since cheap counterfeits will rust in no time. The one that I have is being used for more than two decades without any sign of wear and tear.

  3. That’s really a handy article. Lifestraw seems to be an excellent piece of equipment. Can you tell me how many times can it be used before buying a new one?

    1. Hi Neel, Life Straw is guaranteed to filter 1000 Liters of water. So depending on your consumption its life will depend. In my personal opinion 1000 liters is quite a lot and should last few years of regular use.

  4. Nice article…Heating pan I am not too sure…what is the size ? Where do I get it ? I use use small steel mug and immersion rod in place of that.
    compass is a good idea…but mobile apps has this facility. So why carry extra ?
    Fevikwick is a good idea…I will add it.
    Neck pillow will be difficult to accommodate for a bacpacker.
    Snack pack very good advice…no doubt…I will add it
    Instead of backpack cover (I dont have…where do i get it ?) i can keep BIG Bigbazar bags !

    1. I used to use the heating rod but find it too only suitable for heating a glass of water. Just search for NOVA Travel Cooker online, its portable and can cook anything actually. The neck pillow is inflatable one so once you take out the air its as big as your handkerchief. My backpack is big so it wont fit into a big bazaar bag so i have to use a branded rain cover.
