  Great ‘mature’ packing recommendations! I’ve purchased the ‘Zebra’ cable based on your  suggestion. Thanks for the video👍. Much appreciated!❤️❤️❤️

  I like the peak design packing cubes over the epika packing cubes.   They close better and weigh less.  I stop using the dirty laundry side and just bring another empty cube for laundry.

  vacuumed packing bags have changed my life.  We do carry on only and one bag travel to US and Europe destinations. Never a rolling bag, backpack only, you cant run or even walk easy on European cobbles and stairs with rolling luggage .   At 56 we still run through train stations and airports.  Train for life and travel

  Just landed in Los Angeles, but my suitcase was still in Paris.  The AirTag found it immediately and helped the airline pinpoint it's location for it's return.  I also use the Spotminder. Both work well and keep track of your stuff. I consider them a necessity; especially when travelling internationally.

  Side note about meditation…I always keep my otc and Rx meditation in their original containers. Even if I am driving between multiple states. Mainly because I do have controlled substance Rx’s and they need to remain in the original container. I have a dedicated backpack for just medical equipment and medicine…it just makes things easier if I get stopped for any reason.

  I would consider trading in those Air Tags for Spotminder cards--take up way less space, charge lasts much longer and no batteries to replace. &nbsp; Your Air Tag batteries can give out at any time. &nbsp;Spotminders are small like credit cards and do not add bulk to the item you decided to put them in.

  Another fantastic list and thank you for doing all the leg work here. Thanks for the white sound machine option....mine only does white sound and no nature sounds. I don&apos;t like my phone by me at nights. They work fantastic and I do sleep better--also take up no space at all. The only thing I disagree with is the RFID marketing nonsense. It&apos;s a way these companies can tag on a few more bucks to scare you. I stopped basing wallets, passport wallets, etc., based on RFID detection--if they have it and I want because it&apos;s pleasing to my eye type thing I will get it--but not because of RFID. Just my two cents. The rest of the list is fantastic. I am checking on those NOBLE readers--reviews are mixed but if those things would stay put on my nose--worth ever penny. My friend, mad props for all the work behind closed doors. Cheers!

  The &quot;value&quot; of a sturdy, reusable silicone bag is not adding huge amounts of plastic to the environment, because zip locks eventually give out and are thrown away. And the one-time cost of the silicone bag should be measured against buying zip locks over and over. We throw too much stuff away without a thought.
