Man your substitutions to reduce weight and provide versatility are so clever

[@WillFaulkner]

Thanks !

[@laurendeveau8509]

love the uniqlo heat tech shirt!! i can’t wait to try out the other products u suggested

[@WillFaulkner]

Yea its amazing when it’s cold out

[@runcommute]

Nice inspiration, will use part of it for upcoming business trip to US

[@WillFaulkner]

Thanks !

[@wilfredvault2328]

I love linen pants as well

[@WillFaulkner]

Yea they are a game changer

[@ggluvgte101]

THis really inspired me to review my packing list and cut more things, thank you!

[@WillFaulkner]

Awesome !

[@BluTF2]

Thanks for the helpful content 👍 How often would you aim to do laundry with this setup?

[@WillFaulkner]

Usually every 4-5 days. Depends how much walking I do and if its hot out. Usually, once I run out of socks for example, I would just wash those in the sink. Boxers and socks are super easy to wash, shirts and pants a bit more time consuming so I'll do less frequently.

[@StrongLikeWater612]

Are the Smartwool boxers too warm? I feel like wool in temps above about 75 might get hot.

[@WillFaulkner]

No they are pretty breathable. They are as good in heat as any other boxers I’ve owned

[@kevncredible3411]

Hey there! Just wondering if you had your trip yet and if so, anything you'd change about your loadout =)

[@WillFaulkner]

One thing I recently switched to is a linen towel instead of a microfibre one. It’s just as packable and the linen is way better at drying me off.

[@reptilesgamers00]

Hey Man I'm probably bring a 40l backpack to japan with a small personal item as a day bag. I was going to bring luggage as I do want to bring back souvenirs. I've decided against the luggage just to keep things simple. Do you ever struggle bringing back items at 25L?

[@WillFaulkner]

Yea I don’t usually bring much back. I do bring a 15-20l packable backpack from Osprey as well so I can carry stuff in there if I bring anything back

[@buttlebe]

Thanks for ur video. Can u advise a budget good ski jacket? Is Columbia fine?

[@WillFaulkner]

Are you using it for downhill skiing? Generally a Columbia jacket will do just fine unless you are doing something that requires specialized equipment.

[@buttlebe]

@WillFaulkner thanks for ur reply! I'm a beginner...just worried if it's warm enough as I run cold easily..

[@WillFaulkner]

@@buttlebe yea you’ll be fine. Just wear a long sleeve thermal shirt and a sweater over and that should be plenty

[@nanashikage74]

i never knew i was this poor, ive never thought of comfortable underwear

[@WillFaulkner]

Loll

[@GodAtum]

WTF, 3 boxers for a month??? that's disgusting. how often are you washing and rotating them?

[@WillFaulkner]

Every couple days in the sink. They are light weight and dry quickly

[@Culturalgazelle]

I do the same thing with my exofficio boxers, Uniqlo quick drying t shirts, darn tough socks. Wash them in my scrubba. 4 of each is the sweet spot

this video had too many ads, and you made 10 minutes plus for KZbin ad revenue, could be a 3 minute video. I think if you make more compact videos it will help with your subscriber count. To summarize and save you time: Likes linen Doesn't like thick jeans Likes wool Use packing cubes
