5 Methods to Safeguard cheap Travel Gear

It is undeniable that backpackers in general are thrifty creatures. This is completely understandable. From the moment you hit the road from your bank account goes flat rotation, each day closer to the fall of the hard points of the bank manager. In essence, the size of their bank balance will directly affect the time you have to experience the wonders that life on the road can bring.
For the most part, the budget that begins at the door step of his house and into the unknown. But why not start this trend a little earlier? Surely if you can save about few dollars in the preparation stage then there will be a little more in the pot for your next adventure.

And with this in mind, here are 5 ways to ensure that the journey begins with the Fund, both of a more healthy and more peaceful.

1. Waterproofing backpack. There are many options and bright here - of which vacuum sealing, the space for the manufacture of bags, kayak dry and backpack rain covers are but a few. So what choose? The cheapest that does the work, of course. Rain covers are out because they are just that, Rain covers. Not only many of them look the same, which can lead to confusion if your package ends up as one of a big pile - as sometimes happens when you are on a route well traveled with a backpack - but if your package ends up in the drink to embark or disembark from a boat, then you can still sit in wet underwear wet and updating his diary that evening.
To avoid this, the line inside of your package with a big bag of durable plastic y. It's a simple concept, but rarely used. A class scrubbed agricultural fertilizer sack is the first, but there many other similar types out there, like sacks of refuse or debris, which may be more suited to your style of packaging. When complete, roll up and down a laps over and fold the rest, putting the force in the space between the inside of the container and the exterior of the waterproof bag.
Never again will you worry about putting his backpack on the roof of a chicken bus in Honduras in the monsoon season. Instead, you can choose to either be quiet with her latest book, or simply wallow wholeheartedly in the palpable discomfort caused by shoehorning four adults in a seat designed primarily for two school-age children.

2. Backpack security. Sakbags (lockable bags in which to package), Pacsafes (bar, wire mesh test covering their packaging) and Wrapsafes (cables to wrap / secure package) are among the many agreements that offer security-conscious travelers. Most have their merits and do the job admirably. Unfortunately, there are cheap, whereas I am.
Several lengths of multistrand steel cable (the roll of many hardware stores) to 3 mm in diameter or less and about 50 to 100cm long will serve this purpose.
Fold one end over itself to form a small loop and slide a collar cut from a length of copper pipe in two pieces of steel wire are now side by side. Choose a diameter copper tube is more comfortable when the two pieces of steel cable. With the collar in place, simply crimp it as tight as possible in a vice - hey presto, a secure loop. Repeat on the other end and has a "leather belt with padlock. Photos finished products can be found at www.ubertramp.com blog.
Make one for your backpack, a belt as a package to fix its safe now a fixture (like a hippy stoned at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala), and a couple of spare parts to see through.
All these appliances are not impenetrable, but serve as a deterrent would be good for thieves. It may sound a bit ruthless - but if they do their less attractive package than the next, then it's served its purpose. It is quick and easily offer you sleep better at night - either in a dormitory of 12 men in New York or in the sleeper train between the islands of Thailand and Bangkok. Furthermore, this method Cheapo is a little more subtle than the commercial offerings. He claims that "I am not easy prey," but does not scream 'valuables inside! ".

3. Valuables. Most people these days with some kind of travel gadgets - Whether iPods, digital cameras and memory cards spare keys memory, or other similar items. To prolong their life and protect them, then I have one word for you. Tupperware. Purchase a pair of small airtight closed and the world is your oyster. Now there'sa statement if ever I heard one.
With so many forms and sizes available you are sure to find one almost tailored to the needs of the traveler. Not only are a very inexpensive way to protect sensitive electronic products and provide a durable shell for younger fragile objects, but are a great place to store all the junk that inevitably accumulate after several months on the road. Embrace and gone Tupperware will day without hope of fodder for key lock between lint, broken pieces of soap and candy wrappers that eventually dominate the bottom third of the backpack. For some, This prospect of a semblance of order can come as good news, others may be perceived as invasive and unnecessary evil. If this is so, then I apologize to them in person the next time you drop by to unlock my backpack.

4. Toiletries. Again, this is very simple but extremely effective. Forget toiletry bags bulky - too much space and too much weight. Actually all add up. Three plastic bags do a good job. One to complete your toothbrush, toothpaste teeth, one to wrap the soap, and another to put multiple expenditure, together with any other you may have. The beauty of the bags is not only the weight and space saving, but also the contention factor harm if they have a blow out in one of your bottles / tubes whilst going from A to B. Sure, a plastic bag, inevitably receive a low viscosity of soap after a while, but everyone is replaceable. However, if you are concerned about the environmental impact that this can then use an existing bag that someone else will be discarded. Economic and a little green to boot - you can ask for more?

5. Documents. We all have to wear some kind of documentation - a passport, photocopies of travelers checks numbers, birth certificates and the like. All of them are valuable documents that allow us to travel, and even can get us out of the poo from time to time, for it is worth keeping them in good condition.
And even now we all have a waterproof backpack so we could sit in it and paddle from Borneo to the Philippines, not for ourselves, and therefore our precious papers, How wet. Therefore, hand a roll of A5 size Ziplock (or similar - read cheaper) bags are invaluable. A passport, a few dollars, and some photocopies of documents and folded A5 slip into a bag seal perfectly. They offer excellent protection against penetrating sweat, sudden downpours, and my woefully inadequate in a kayak. Only cost pennies to a large set, it can take more than you think will be sufficient allowing replacement when worn. I do not know where I would be without them - probably in jail in Indonesia, but that's a story for another day.

Some may argue that some or all of these are needed. I agree that could travel without them and save the expense of a few cents, but in light of increased security and safety that these measures small pay, I do not leave home without them - and for me to choose functionality over frugality, they have got to be good ...
