Silly topic

I go on much longer trips but here's what I pack.

22" Rollaboard:
2 Uniform Shirts
1 Uniform pants
7 Sets of undershirts/boxers/socks (3 white/4 black)
1 Pair of hiking pants (can wear them multiple days, wash them in the hotel sink if you need to)
2-3 other shirts (at least one with a collar)
1 Fleece
1 Packable lightweight down jacket
1 set of workout shorts/shirt
1 pair of running shoes
1 Toiletry kit

35L backpack
1 DSLR camera and three lenses
1 Gorillapod (small tripod for camera)
1 Laptop
1 Work iPad
1 Portable espresso maker/ground espresso
1 long sleeve exoficio shirt to wear in cruise
1 Bag of assorted chargers and adaptors.
1 A book/magazine

It's definitely a learning curve. For your first 6 months to a year you'll be dragging around crap that you will never use. When you're unpacking at the end of a trip look through and make note of what you didn't use the entire time you were out.

I must admit - I looked up the Hario Skerton/V60 combo and I am intrigued. I've been considering switching coffee methods and this is a ringing endorsement if you're traveling with the rig.

I take coffee very seriously. ^_^ It's as good as you can get, portably. Takes some manual skill, knowing your altitude and being able to calculate the boiling point of water, and understanding how water cools over time for a given kettle / volume... but a lot of that can be calibrated by taste.

I roast my own, but there are some good alternatives out there commercially that do mail-order. 99.999% of coffee sold/served/shipped in the US still sucks horribly, but here are a few of the really good ones:
  • Victrola
  • Dogwood
  • Zoka
  • Four barrel
  • Sightglass
  • Verve
  • Sweet bloom
  • Stumptown
  • Gaslight
  • Counter culture
  • Herkimer
  • Boxcar
  • Novo
  • Intelligentsia
  • Chromatic

I always feel really dumb when I bring my laptop with—to write a paper, let's say—and yet wind up with no time to use it due to "operational difficulties."

I've heard multiple stories of guys packing folding bikes along with them.
