When touring, there is always the question of what to take?
Space is limited so it is best to take items that are small (camp towel instead of beach towel) or can do double duty. (Zip off pants instead of jeans,)
Here is my list of things I take on a tour; it is in a constant state of evolution as I change it as new products come available or my needs change.
