As far as packing, I think I can use one additional T-shirt and be pretty happy at the moment. In every picture of me until the trip is over, I’ll be wearing mostly the same thing. But, I think it an extremely small price to pay.

* Sorry if I misunderstood your question. You may have meant it more generally… not just in the packing sense(?).

** For anyone else reading this, in a much older post on packing, I had carefully placed a Start Wars action figure in one of the pictures.

I never thought anyone would notice it – more of a joke, of sorts. However, because you noticed it, I think you deserve to win some sort of prize. What kind of prize – I have no idea. But, you definitely deserve something. Maybe a close-up shot of the Death Star Droid? 😉

I’ll be honest here… we wash our clothes a lot less frequently being on the road. Since we brought along a universal sink stopper, we are able to wash underwear when we need to and they will dry overnight. But, our pants and shirts will typically get several uses before getting washed.

How often we do laundry primarily depends on our activities. If we are in a colder climate and are taking it easy, we can go for a week or more. However, even when doing some 2 or 3 day hikes, if in colder weather, we still may go the same length of time. We wear a lot of nylon pants and wool tops (both short and long-sleeve), which do a pretty amazing job of quickly drying and holding back odor… well at least we think so. I guess it couldn’t hurt to ask our fellow travelers if they agree. 😉

My guess is when we get into warmer weather, we will need to do laundry more often (or swap out some cold weather clothing for additional t-shirts).
